Chapter 1958: Actors and Artists
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 child’s hand and playing in the playground as he stood at the side photographing the mother and son.
He could not see the child’s face in the dream, but when he awoke, he remembered a kid who looked like him and her—a mischievous boy who always made her angry.
Without a doubt, that dream was a beautiful one.
Lu Xingzhi’s business only started after Jiang Yao left for class. On the way to the office, he called Lu Yuqing to ask about Zhou Hailan.
“The pany signed an agreement with her. The fact that she hit someone is not why we terminated the contract with her. If it’s because of that, the pany will have to pay her a large sum of money. That will not benefit us. It’s not about the money, but if we give her the money, it’s equivalent to admitting that we are the party at fault. We have no reason to give her money after what she’s done.”
Lu Yuqing said, “We have to cancel the contract, but even if we give that money to charity, we can’t give it to Zhou Hailan. Otherwise, Zhou Hailan will think that we are a small pany that she can bully. She will think she can get away after hitting the boss’ sister.”
“Get someone to send a copy of the contract to me today. I’ll take a look at the details.” Lu Xingzhi’s opinion was the same as Lu Yuqing’s. “I won’t let her live too happily.”
“Don’t go too far. I heard that Zhou Hailan has connections in Jindo City. She seems to be the girlfriend of some VIP,” Lu Yuqing said.
“Whose girlfriend?”
Lu Xingzhi felt sarcastic when he heard that word. “She’s just someone’s plaything. How can anyone with a high status marry an actress like her?”
“Don’t say that she’s an actress. Times have changed. They are artists and performers now.” Lu Yuqing defended Lu Xiaoxiao. “Don’t forget that Xiaoxiao will also take that path in the future.”
“Yes, the times are different. Many actors are artists and performers, but not all actors can bee 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.”
Lu Xingzhi’s 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.
“No one would do anything shameful for a mere actress,” Lu Xingzhi said. “Do you believe when I say that Zhou Hailan will be someone’s ex-girlfriend when I spread the news about how she offended me?”
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..
