Chapter 76: Almighty Sister-in-law!
Hidden Marriage
After Lu Tingxiao had unplugged the cable, Lu Jingli couldnât hear what Ning Xi was saying, and could only guess that she was asking Lu Tingxiao to go back.
Hearing his botherâs cold answer, he screamed inside: No! Why didn't even Ning Xi getting personally involved work?! Do the heavens really want me to die like this?
Ning Xiâs voice became even gentler. "But Iâm worried about taking Little Treasure out by myself. What if something happens? Little Treasure definitely wants you to come too! Come back, ok? Ok?"
Lu Tingxiao was silent for three seconds, before he opened his mouth: "Alright, Iâll be back soon."
Lu Jingli was stunned, and then suddenly felt the radiance of the sun shine down on him â he was in heaven!
Sister-in-law is almighty!
I knew she could do it!
He had thought his brother was really unmoved, but it turned out he was only pretending to be annoyed!
After ending the call, Lu Tingxiao said two words: "Meeting adjourned."
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to believe theyâd been let off just like that!
Lu Jingli was so proud of himself: everyone thank me, Iâm the one who called our life saver, all of you were saved because of me!
Shortly after the meeting ended, Lu Jingli was surrounded:
"Second Young Master, did we hear wrong just now? A woman actually called Boss Lu!
"Who was it? With just a phone call, she got Boss Lu to leave in the middle of a meeting!"
"I know, right? Does Boss Lu actually have someone by his side? Which familyâs young miss is it? Second Young Master, tell us everything!"
â¦
Lu Jingli stared at all of them warily. "What! Asking me who it is, what do you want? Want to hug her thigh now? No way! Only I can hug my future sister-in-lawâs thigh! You people don't even think about it!"
Everyone:"â¦" Couldnât they hug even just one toe?
â¦
In the corner of the studio backlot, Ning Xi ended the call feeling relieved.
Finally, it was sortedâ¦
There shouldn't be any more problems after this, right?
It clearly had nothing to do with her, it was really selfless of her to help!
Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang; it was Lu Jingli again.
"Second Young Master, what is the matter now? Wasnât that enough?"
"No no no, Xiao Xi Xi, your honey trap was just too perfect! It solved the problem beautifully!"
Ning Xiâs face turned black at his words. "What honey trap! That was luring the tiger from his cave! Have some common sense!"
"Whoops, I understand, I understand! Thatâs it, Iâm hanging up. Iâll treat you to food the next time youâre free!"
Ning Xi was speechless as she looked at the disconnected phone.
What did this person understand?
"Ning Xiao Xi, why are you hiding here? Letâs go eat!" She hadnât noticed Jiang Muye coming over.
Looking around nervously, Ning Xi relaxed after making sure no one had seen him come look for her. Wearily, she leaned on a big, red palace pillar behind her. "I have something on tonight, you guys go, I don't think I can make it."
"What?" Jiang Muyeâs face changed after hearing this. "Itâs my welcome dinner, and Iâm your film partner! Youâre actually not coming?"
Ning Xi knitted her eyebrows together. "I know, I know, my fault, but I really have something very important on tonight, Iâll treat you next time, alright?"
"Not alright!" Jiang Muye did not buy her explanation in the slightest, and looked intently at her. "What do you have on thatâs so important? Who are you going to see tonight?"
Ning Xiâs voice turned a bit stern. "Who I see is noneof your business."
After she spoke, Jiang Muyeâs face immediately turned ugly. "Youâre going to see Lu Tingxiao, aren't you?"
