Bai Lingyun said languidly, "So prescient?"
Jiu Rong spoke earnestly, "If I told you that Gu Annan never gave up on her, would you believe it? Even though there’s been no contact between them for these six years, neither knowing any news of the other, he’s just been waiting for her to return. He knew she would co back eventually."
"Whether it’s for him or for Jin’an, Lu Wanwan couldn’t possibly hide out in the United States forever. So over these years, he firmly kept Jin’an in his control from behind the scenes, allowing it neither to thrive nor perish. Lu Jingtian was rely his puppet, ready to be thrown into prison at any ti."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingyun didn’t seem surprised and murmured lightly, "Is that so."
It sounded like a question, but also not quite a question.
"However, it wasn’t until he released the news that Gu’s company was pulling out of Manchester that Lu Wanwan dared to return, which probably also irritated him because he didn’t know the reason why Lu Wanwan was afraid to see him," Jiu Rong contemplated, "You know that yourself, right?"
"Hmm?" His response remained slow and drawn out.
Although cruel, Jiu Rong continued, "Knowing that even without those two kids, she had only one person in her heart, and even though she hid this fact very deeply, so deep that perhaps she wasn’t aware of it herself. But there’s never been anyone else in her eyes."
"You’re so noisy." Bai Lingyun complained, pushing his sunglasses back up.
After a long while, he drifted out a sentence, "Get a role in a movie, I’ve been quite idle lately."
Finally, Jiu Rong let out a long sigh of relief, "You’re finally willing to act again, just in ti to ride the wave of your recent scandal’s popularity. By then, everyone will know you’re making a coback to the silver screen after your affair. Hey, I rember a film, the girl from your last scandal seems to fit the role well, do you have her contact?"
"She won’t bother with you," Bai Lingyun rolled his eyes.
"It’s a big production, a collaboration with Hollywood. I’m not sure yet if you’re the lead, the original choice was the hottest in the past couple of years, but the female lead has always been undecided, the director wants to find a newcor."
"I told you, she won’t bother with you."
"Debuting in an international blockbuster, I don’t believe there’s a girl out there who could refuse this temptation. Just ntioning it, people would think she obtained the role through unsavory ans."
"Go ahead and waste your ti then."
Jiu Rong glances over, "You do this favor, consider it a debt owed to you. Next ti your old man gives you trouble, I’ll have your back, how about that?"
Sliding off his sunglasses, Bai Lingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at a car in the rearview mirror, murmuring softly, "Such persistence, when will this cycle of grudges end..."

"Not ordering?" Gu Annan had reserved a private room and handed her the nu.
Since arriving here, Lu Wanwan hadn’t shown any good expressions.
She had just glanced at a text ssage—Little Momo had replied just now that they had already eaten and didn’t want to trouble Uncle Bai; they were just waiting for her.
If Gu Annan left now, she’d call Little Momo to take a detour here, and they wouldn’t run into each other.
"I’m full!" She said coldly, while continuing to text Little Momo, asking where they were now.
Gu Annan saw that on this electronic nu, past custors had rated each dish, "Then all the dishes with a score above 8 points."
The waiter hesitated, noticing that there were just the two of them, "Sir, we have over thirty dishes rated above 8 points."
"A single table wouldn’t hold them all?" Gu Annan put down the electronic nu, looking up, "If it doesn’t fit, add another table."
