Chapter 618 Am I The Ugliest At a variety show set in Pearl City, Zheng Lunlun sat down during his break. Immediately, his assistant walked over and said that he had a delivery. Huh? Iâm filming a show here. Did someone actually send a delivery to this address?
The arrangements for the variety show had been settled the year before, so no one could have recently found out where he was. Who knows about my schedule that was determined the previous year and even sent a delivery here?
The delivery was an envelope. When he picked it up, it was very light and did not seem to contain anything particularly heavy.
The envelope contained a letter. Once Zheng Lunlun finished reading the contents, the look on his face changed. âWhatâs wrong?â The assistant noticed the strange expression on Zheng Lunlunâs face.
âNothing. My friendâs sick and hospitalized, so I need to visit him,â replied Zheng Lunlun. âRight now?
The showâs not done with the filming yet,â reminded the assistant.
âI must leave now. Please explain it to the director. Iâll compensate for any losses.â Since Zheng Lunlun was a top celebrity, he could do whatever he wanted without much concern.
After leaving the filming set, he got into his car and drove away quickly. The car zoomed rapidly along the road and reached Flower City before dusk.
After parking his sports car and hailing a cab, he headed to the vicinity of the Commoner Residence.
Night had just fallen. However, Zheng Lunlun did not dare to enter from the front gate. Instead, he went to the wall at the back of the Commoner Residence and climbed over it.
Since the Commoner Residence was filled with surveillance cameras, Zheng Lunlun got caught by the bodyguards the moment he landed.
âItâs me. Donât make a ruckus.â Zheng Lunlun took off his hoodie and cap. âYoung Master Lun, why did you climb over the wall instead of going through the front gate?â exclaimed the bodyguard in shock.
âI want to meet my great-grandpa. Also, you must not tell anyone that I returned. You hear me?â
âGot it.â When Zheng Lunlun entered, Nan Zhengde was just preparing to eat. âLunlun? Why are you here? Arenât you at Pearl City?â
âYeah, Great-grandpa. I rushed over after receiving a letter from Uncle Chen, who asked me to pass it on to you personally. Iâm not even allowed to call anyone because I have to hand it to you myself.â
Nan Zhengdeâs eyes lit up as he interrupted, âAre you hungry?â
âTo be honest, Iâve been rushing here the whole time, so Iâm hungry.â
âBring a few dishes to the study room, and donât let anyone enter,â instructed Nan Zhengde.
âOkay.â
âAlso, no one is allowed to mention to any outsiders that Lunlun has returned.â
âUnderstood.â
Upon entering the study room, Zheng Lunlun took out the letter and passed it to Nan Zhengde.
The latter let out a sigh after reading it.
âIs Nan Chen all right? What did he say?â asked Feng Wan anxiously, unable to hold herself back anymore.
âNan Chen got into a car accident and is stuck on an island in the middle of the reservoir. His leg is injured, but it isnât seriousâ¦â Nan Zhengde explained to Feng Wan what happened to Nan Chen.
âWhat should we do now?â
âThereâs a bank account written in the letter. He told us to transfer a hundred thousand to that account.
Instruct someone to do it immediately. We must secure that person first. If Iâm not wrong, heâs looking over Nan Chen and probably sent the letter on his behalf,â analyzed Nan Zhengde.
âIâd already transferred the money on my phone when I was coming here. He has probably received it already,â replied Zheng Lunlun.
âVery good. Nan Chen definitely promised that man. Heâll trust Nan Chen even more after receiving the money and will continue helping Nan Chen,â said Nan Zhengde.
âWe should gather our men and save Nan Chen quickly! We canât possibly let him continue to be trapped there.â Feng Wan was panicking.
âWe mustnât rush into things. Iâll get Chai Hua to go there personally and communicate with the person who gave the bank account privately.â
Since he has given his bank account number and name, it wonât be difficult to track him down. Weâll contact him privately first and figure out what exactly is going on. There wonât be many outsiders going to the countryside. If we donât act carefully, those people will find out. Once that happens, Iâm afraid that they would just kill him to silence him.â A solemn look appeared on Nan Zhengdeâs face.
âLetâs do that, then. Ask Chai Hua to go there quickly. We must save Chen!â urged Feng Wan.
The sky was already dark at Livingsfill, and it was time for dinner.
Hence, Lu Yunxue suggested to go home first.
Naturally, Erbao tried to keep her there. âEat with us! Weâve got a lot of people, so itâll be lively!â
Evidently, Lu Yunxue wanted to. She whispered beside Erbaoâs ears, âIâm afraid that they wonât want me to eat here.â
âItâs fine. Aunt Xiang will agree. Iâll speak to her!â
Erbao ran over. âAunt Xiang, Lu Yunxue wants to stay for dinner. Can she stay?â
When Lu Yunxue heard his words, she quickly corrected, âSihan wants me to stay for dinner, but Iâm still thinking about it. I should go home and eat with my mommy.â
âItâs fine, Yunxue. You should just stay here and eat. Iâll ask someone to send you home afterward,â
offered Cheng Xiangyun with a smile.
âReally? Are you agreeing to let me eat here, Ms. Xiang?â
Lu Yunxue knew how to flatter someone well. While she called Xiangyun âMaâamâ in the past, she was calling Xiangyun âMs. Xiangâ in the present moment. It made Xiangyun sound younger and closer to Lu Yunxue.
âOf course! Since youâre Erbaoâs friend, weâll naturally welcome you.â
âAfter dinner, can I play for a while before going back?â requested Lu Yunxue.
âSure, as long as it isnât too late. Otherwise, your mommy will be worried.â
Qiao Zhan entered when she was speaking. âYour mom is here to pick you up, Yunxue.â
However, Lu Yunxue spun around and ran. âSay that Iâm not here!â
âNo way! Youâre right here, so how can I say that youâre not? Why donât I tell her that youâll return after eating?â asked Qiao Zhan.
Lu Yunxue sighed. âYou donât know my mom well. If she wants me to return, I have to. Forget it. Iâm going.â
Cheng Xiangyun could not bear to see how dejected she was and followed her out.
Standing at the entrance, Lu Jingyuan nodded at Cheng Xiangyun. âHello! Sorry that my child disturbed you. Iâm here to pick her up.â
Under the streetlight, her hair cascaded down her shoulders smoothly. With fair skin and a curvaceous body, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Every woman I meet just keeps getting prettier! Why am I always the ugliest? Cheng Xiangyun lamented.
âItâs fine. Your daughter is really cute and gets along well with Erbao. Theyâre already very good friends.
Iâd like her to stay for dinner, so I hope that youâll agree,â said Cheng Xiangyun.
âItâs fine, thank you,â refused Lu Jingyuan directly.
Lu Yunxue raised her head helplessly and glanced at Cheng Xiangyun. See? I told you that my momâs very old school.
âWhy not? Are you worried that our food isnât hygienic orâ¦â
âItâs not that. She has been disturbing you for a long time, so I canât keep letting her have her way. Xue, come here.â Lu Jingyuan beckoned at Lu Yunxue.
Even though Lu Yunxue looked extremely reluctant, she still walked over obediently.
âWait! Ms. Lu, let her eat with me. Itâs already so sad that Iâm sick. If she can keep me company, Iâll be in a better mood and eat more.â Erbao ran toward them.
