Lu Liting heard the news which was reported early in the morning. “What exactly happened with the kidnapping? How could it suddenly happen like that?”
“The police said that I had an encounter with a mental patient who had an episode at that time, so…” Ji Qingqing briefly and simply explained the whole matter to him.
Grandpa Lu responded in a deep voice, “Even though the police said it’s unrelated to Shen Weiwei, the suspect had chatted and stayed in the same elevator with her before the kidnapping, and he was also found out to be her fan. He kidnapped you shortly after he got out of the elevator. Regardless of what happened, this had something to do with her.”
“Weiwei? What happened?”
Ji Qingqing lightly laughed and said, “I had an audition with Shen Weiwei yesterday. At that time, we competed for the same role. In the end, the director chose me. When Shen Weiwei went downstairs, she encountered the suspect who kidnapped me in the elevator.”
“Coincidentally, the suspect was an avid fan of Shen Weiwei and Shen Weiwei told the suspect about what happened during the audition. The suspect, who had mental illness, may have felt that I stole Shen Weiwei’s role after he heard this… He then kidnapped me and repeatedly threatened me not to bully her. That’s how it happened.”
Lu Liting was surprised. “This…”
Grandpa Lu snorted coldly. “Talking so much with a stranger fan… You once promised me that Shen Weiwei was a simple girl with a kind heart. Now prove it to me, how can she be that simple?!”
Lu Liting clenched his teeth tightly in silence.
“It’s not that grandfather likes to beat mandarin ducks*, but I’ll say this to you for the last time. Shen Weiwei isn’t who you think she is. I heard you two broke up, which is good, but I hope that you won’t have any contact with her in the future. Or else, don’t call me Grandfather anymore, got it?”
*T/N: “Mandarin ducks” is one of the most common terms used to refer to lovers.
Lu Liting, during his spare time in this recent period, had done a background check on Shen Weiwei. He found that many senior executives of Tianyu Entertainment knew of her identity as his girlfriend. It was precisely because of this that Shen Weiwei was able to sign with them and get some resources. The reason these senior executives knew was because they discovered the clues from Shen Weiwei herself.
He was unable to think of the reason why Shen Weiwei would have connections with the senior executives of Tianyu. But looking back at the things she had done in the past, facts showed that she clearly knew he was a member of a distinguished family and even used her identity to secretly seek many benefits.
Where he couldn’t see and in places he had no idea about.
However, he didn’t doubt her before. Shen Weiwei had always said to him that she was willing to work hard and start from scratch with him, from poor to riches.
So, when he learned about this, Lu Liting became deeply disappointed.
Whether Grandpa Lu mentioned it or not, he and Shen Weiwei will never have a chance again.
Lu Liting said in a deep voice, “I understand, Grandfather.”
“It’s good that you understand.”
Aunt Pei came over and smilingly said to Ji Qingqing, “Qingqing, you haven’t had breakfast yet. I heated some porridge for you, come and drink it.”
Ji Qingqing was very tired from last night, so when Aunt Pei mentioned it, her stomach growled in hunger. She got up happily to take the food from Aunt Pei. However…
“Wait…” Aunt Pei looked at her chin and said, “What happened? Why is it a little red… is it dirt?”
Aunt Pei rubbed her chin with her hand and rubbed off a layer of powder which revealed a small red mark.
“Why is it red?” Aunt Pei appeared a little anxious. “Did you accidentally get hurt here yesterday?”
Aunt Pei rubbed another large area and Ji Qingqing didn’t have time to dodge. The dense red marks were located in that area and they were suddenly exposed without warning.
“This is…” Aunt Pei’s words stopped abruptly after seeing those red marks and her face was full of embarrassment at this time.
Not only was Aunt Pei Yi clear about what happened, Lu Liting on the other side had an even clearer understanding of why she was bruised like that.
What that large dense red mark meant was as clear as daylight to him.
Ji Qingqing swiftly covered her neck, her face blushing to the tip of her ears. She glared daggers at Lu Liting fiercely, who was abnormally quite cheerful since this morning.
“Aunt Pei, help me cool the porridge first. I’ll go to the bathroom.”
After speaking, she quickly went upstairs.
Grandpa Lu glared at Lu Lixing who acted as if nothing had happened.
After returning to the room, Ji Qingqing looked at the marks on her neck and shoulders in front of the mirror. Her skin was flawless, white, and bright, with basically no blemishes that required concealer. Therefore, she only owned one concealer which didn’t have enough coverage to cover the dark circles. Furthermore, Aunt Pei pointing it out just made the red marks that much more obvious.
Ji Qingqing increased the amount, applying both foundation and concealer onto her skin. She finished her makeup and carefully checked all the exposed skin in front of the mirror once again. Only then did she relax somewhat and go downstairs.
Aunt Pei had a big smile on her face and looked kindly at her, making her feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, Grandpa Lu took Lu Lixing and Lu Liting into the study room with him.
It became awkwardly quiet for quite a long time.
Ji Qingqing was bored and was about to go upstairs to take a short nap when a servant came in and said that the wedding dress that Lu Lixing had ordered had arrived.
Ji Qingqing asked in confusion, “Wedding dress?”
A few men in formal suits came in, carrying three exquisite and gorgeous wedding dresses on huge hangers, and delivered them to the center of the villa.
One lady with a dignified demeanor smiled and said to Ji Qingqing, “Miss Ji, at Mr. Lu’s request, we have brought these three wedding dresses. May I ask if Mr. Lu is here right now?”
Aunt Pei smiled and said, “I’ll go up and ask the young master to come down and look at them.”
As soon as Aunt Pei finished speaking, Lu Lixing appeared on the second-floor corridor as if on queue and walked down the staircase with a somber-faced Lu Liting following behind him.
Lu Lixing walked over to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and kissed her forehead. “Did you like the wedding dresses that I’ve prepared for you?”
