The video was released just yesterday, even only last night, but Liang Luâs grandparents left four days ago. No matter how one thinks about it, it feels like someone is causing trouble.
Lu Qing isnât in the Capital right now, nor can he rush back in time, and since his main base isnât in the Capital, he can only entrust the matter to others to handle.
Upon receiving the news, Tan Rou started to investigate who was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Liang Lu was also anxious. She paced around Tan Rouâs office, sitting down one moment, standing up the next, restless as if on hot coals, endlessly circling inside the office.
Tan Rou was searching online for news, trying to find out who had first posted the video. Seeing Liang Lu pacing in the office, she said, âLiang Lu, arenât you tired? Sit down and rest for a while.â
Liang Lu walked to her, face full of urgency, and said, âTan Rou, itâs not that I want to pace, but my legs just wonât stop! You know how much effort Iâve really put into this movie, and you all invested so much money in it. If this matter affects it, then what about the money you invested?â
Her movie had been released for less than a week and was currently at the peak time for increasing box office sales. If her grandparentsâ issue had an impact, the subsequent box office was uncertain.
It was Liang Luâs first movie on the big screen, and she couldnât let the money Tan Rou and the others invested go to waste.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLiang Lu, to us, this amount of money really isnât much,â Tan Rou comforted her, saying, âMy company can earn back the money invested in your movie in a month, so you donât need to worry about these things.â
Liang Lu was still very anxious, âNo, this time I must earn more money. My career has just started, I canât falter here.â
Tan Rou wanted to tell her everyone faces setbacks in the beginning of starting a business and urged her not to get too worked up, but seeing how anxious Liang Lu was, she held back.
âHmm, youâre thinking correctly,â Tan Rou said while clicking the mouse, âSo who do you think is creating trouble for you this time?â
Liang Lu shook her head, âI donât know. At first, I thought my grandparents were trying to get money from me, but since they havenât contacted me up to now, Iâm uncertain.â
Tan Rou analyzed, âLu Qing said that your grandparents arrived four days ago and were brought here by someone else, so there must be someone behind this helping them.â
Liang Lu, frustrated, pulled at her hair, âWho on earth is causing me trouble? If I find out who did it, Iâll go to their house tonight and beat them up!â
Tan Rou was reminded of the bullying days back in high school. Despite Liang Luâs current gentle demeanor, back then she used to be the campus bully! There were few who werenât afraid of her.
âDonât get worked up, youâre a public figure now, and you need to be mindful of your image otherwise youâll encounter a lot of trouble,â Tan Rou reminded her.
Liang Lu suddenly felt powerless, âDoes being a public figure mean I have to suffer such unfair treatment? Iâve tried so hard to live my life, to create a wonderful future, why are there still people trying to ruin it for me?â
Tan Rou felt sorry for Liang Lu. Since she was very young, after Liang Luâs parents passed away, they didnât leave her any good things, only ridicule from others.
She struggled to live, using her fists to conquer those who mocked her, but it was useless; the people who were supposed to laugh would still laugh, and Liang Lu couldnât fight everyone.
Later on, Liang Lu decided to change. Through her tremendous efforts, she finally got into university and, with the help of friends, completed her studies and obtained a nice degree.
Her future seemed bright; everything was moving in the right direction.
Regretfully, someone ruined that life.
âLiang Luâ¦â Tan Rou grabbed a tissue for her, âWipe your tears, donât ruin your image. In my heart, youâve always been a very strong girl.â
Liang Lu wiped her tears, but she felt aggrieved inside, âTan Rou, I really tried hard to live my life. To reach where I am today, Iâve given a lot, but why do they still want to harm me? For fifteen years, they never looked for me, and now that I have money, they want to come to me, what kind of grandparents are these?â
