Lu Jingli gave his brother a meaningful look, but Lu Tingxiao didn’t give him a single glance, and was unsympathetic to Lu Jinglis ploy when he answered: “Lin Zhizhi.”
Lu Jingli: “”
My poor little heart! Didnt your wife feed me just one rib? And even for that you needed to immediately take revenge!
Hearing this, Ning Xi was astonished. “Lin Zhizhi? Who single-handedly made a plain nobody like Leng Manyun into an international movie star, that Lin Zhizhi? She’s my manager? Lord Boss, dont tell me you opened the back door for me again? Isn’t Lin Zhizhi managing Leng Manyun only, and not taking on any new artistes?”
Lu Jinglis heart was full of unspoken criticism. No kidding, of course he opened the back door!
Because his brother had ordered him to, last night he had flown to H City and spent the whole night persuading her!
“Because Leng Manyun wants to retire,” Lu Tingxiao said, as if it was just a coincidence. He didnt mention the fact that Lin Zhizhi was on leave and had refused to take on new artistes.
Ning Xi was a little alarmed. “So the rumors are true, that Leng Manyun is retiring?”
“Yes, she decided not too long ago.” Lu Tingxiao nodded.
Regret was written all over Ning Xis face. “Then thats a real pity. At the peak of her career, she chose to get married and have kids but she had the best chance of breaking Senior Song Lins record of twelves awards to become the first actress to win every major acting award!”
An actress who would win all the major awards, that was also Ning Xis ultimate goal!
After saying this, Ning Xi. “But everyone has different goals, its not for other people to judge! So, Lin Zhizhi agreed to manage me? I heard that shes very strict!”
“She did, but only if you pass the test she will set for you later. Only then can she decide on how to develop your training and image,” Lu Tingxiao answered.
“Oh, oh, okay, I will do my best!” Hearing Lu Tingxiao mention that she still needed to take a test later, Ning Xi conversely felt a little relieved.
Nearby, Lu Jingli tutted as he listened to their conversation.
It looked like his brother had already set his heart on Ning Xi for life. Every time he helped her, he would rack his brains for an honorable and fair way of doing it.He didnt give her the slightest pressure, or make her feel indebted to him he really was infatuated
Seeing how Ning Xi was starting to trust his brother more with each passing day, he felt that the day he could call her his sister-in-law for real wasnt that far away anymore.
Great, then he could eat good food all the time after that, hehehe!
At night.
Little Treasure slept early after playing hard all day. It took Ning Xi less than five minutes to put him to bed.
Ning Xi kissed the little guy on the forehead gently, then softly closed the door behind her.
Lu Tingxiao was leaning on the banister outside the door, and looked up when he heard the door shut.”Little Treasures asleep?”
“Yup, sound asleep.”
“Thank you for today.”
“It was nothing, I also had a good time!”
“That was the first time that Little Treasure ate two bowls of rice.”Lu Tingxiao looked gratified.
Ning Xi laughed. “I must thank Little Treasure for his support! As long as Im not busy, Ill definitely cook lots of good food for him to eat.”
Lu Tingxiao frowned, then refused: “No.”
“Why not?” Ning Xi didn’t understand.
Lu Tingxiao looked at her, and there was a lingering sense of melancholy about his appearance. “If you feed him so well now, what am I going to do after youre gone?”
What am I going to do after youre gone
It sounded like any normal sentence, but the meaning behind it hit her heart hard like a heavy hammer
