The nightmare that seemed to devour him with its gaping mouth finally stopped appearing in his dreams.
He had not dreamed of her plane crash in a long time. Instead, he often fantasized about her holding their childâs hand and playing in the playground as he stood at the side photographing the mother and son.
He could not see the childâs face in the dream, but when he awoke, he remembered a kid who looked like him and herâa mischievous boy who always made her angry.
Without a doubt, that dream was a beautiful one.
Lu Xingzhiâs business only started after Jiang Yao left for class. On the way to the office, he called Lu Yuqing to ask about Zhou Hailan.
âThe company signed an agreement with her. The fact that she hit someone is not why we terminated the contract with her. If itâs because of that, the company will have to pay her a large sum of money. That will not benefit us. Itâs not about the money, but if we give her the money, itâs equivalent to admitting that we are the party at fault. We have no reason to give her money after what sheâs done.â
Lu Yuqing said, âWe have to cancel the contract, but even if we give that money to charity, we canât give it to Zhou Hailan. Otherwise, Zhou Hailan will think that we are a small company that she can bully. She will think she can get away after hitting the bossâ sister.â
âGet someone to send a copy of the contract to me today. Iâll take a look at the details.â Lu Xingzhiâs opinion was the same as Lu Yuqingâs. âI wonât let her live too happily.â
âDonât go too far. I heard that Zhou Hailan has connections in Jindo City. She seems to be the girlfriend of some VIP,â Lu Yuqing said.
âWhose girlfriend?â
Lu Xingzhi felt sarcastic when he heard that word. âSheâs just someoneâs plaything. How can anyone with a high status marry an actress like her?â
âDonât say that sheâs an actress. Times have changed. They are artists and performers now.â Lu Yuqing defended Lu Xiaoxiao. âDonât forget that Xiaoxiao will also take that path in the future.â Support our Benovel.com
âYes, the times are different. Many actors are artists and performers, but not all actors can become artists and performers. Xiaoxiao loves that industry. When she is outstanding enough, she will be an actress and an artist in the future. What about Zhou Hailan? She is pretending to live her life. If she is not an actress, then what is she? She relies on her connections to climb to the top, so she is an actress.â
Lu Xingzhiâs rebuttal left Lu Yuqing speechless. From his tone, he did not object to Lu Xiaoxiao continuing to stay in that industry. The Lu family was overprotective, so they would always refer to Lu Xiaoxiao as an artist and performer in the future. As for the other actors and actresses, they would not care about them. An actress would still be an actress, and Zhou Hailan was too annoying.
âNo one would do anything shameful for a mere actress,â Lu Xingzhi said. âDo you believe when I say that Zhou Hailan will be someoneâs ex-girlfriend when I spread the news about how she offended me?â
The people in Jindo City were not that afraid of Lu Xingzhi, but they hated people who caused trouble. They would not want to do anything rash with their feelings. They did not need playthings that would damage their reputation, so they would throw them away instead..
