Chapter 1215: Chapter 1219: Trouble Chapter 1215: Chapter 1219: Trouble Chang Xinru was very anxious, “How much longer are you going to keep this a secret? The child is already so big, and we haven’t seen her. Do we really have to wait until your father and I are both dead and unable to see our own granddaughter?”

Lu Haotian’s face showed some impatience, “I know, I’ll bring her back to see you as soon as I can.”

Chang Xinru softened slightly at that.

She knew what kind of temper Lu Haotian had.

If pushed too hard, he might do as he did in the past, simply walk away and stop talking altogether.

Besides, this matter required careful and long-term planning.

She surely had to keep it within the Lu Family, and it absolutely could not fall into the hands of that woman.

Actions had to be taken with caution.

Today, Haotian had fallen out with that woman.

Who knew what kind of trouble that scheming woman might stir up, whether she would cause trouble for Haotian.

Xia Yangyang’s life was as always, moving in a straight line between the television station, Shengyuan Group, and Maple Villa.

The days were indeed uneventful and ordinary.

It was just that she hadn’t been sleeping well lately.

She kept dreaming of sinking to the bottom of the water, where the depths were serene, but the surface roiled with waves.

Just like that, she would sink bit by bit into the darkness, watching the sunlight and all vibrant things grow further and further away.

She tried to grasp at something on the water’s surface, but couldn’t catch hold of anything.

That suffocating fear wound around her neck like a venomous tongue.

Ultimately waking her in fright.

Xia Yangyang sat up suddenly.

A layer of fine sweat had formed on her back.

Xia Yangyang reflexively looked at the time on the wall.

It was only three o’clock in the morning.

Xia Yangyang exhaled a breath, covered her face with her hands, and just sat there for a while.

Gu Qichen draped a blanket over Xia Yangyang’s shoulders, his voice carrying a hint of sleep-hoarse rasp, “Did you have a nightmare again?”

Xia Yangyang turned her head, “I’m sorry for waking you up.”

Gu Qichen pulled Xia Yangyang into his embrace, gently patting her back, “I’m right here with you. Let’s get some more sleep, okay?”

The scent of Gu Qichen made Xia Yangyang feel at peace.

And she quickly fell back asleep.

The following day, Xia Yangyang went to the television station.

No sooner had she sat down than Zhu Xiaorong came over and said, “Boss, our last show got axed. The station manager has actually decided to let the news department’s ‘Star Gossip’ replace ‘First Scene’. Do you think the manager has lost his mind? We’re a TV station, not some gossip media outlet, and yet they’re airing celebrity gossip during prime time. Isn’t that demeaning? Teacher Li was so angry he was almost spitting blood, he even proposed resigning to the manager.”

Xia Yangyang’s expression turned grave.

What was going on here?

‘The First Scene’ was currently the highest-rated and critically acclaimed flagship program.

Wasn’t the manager destroying the brand by doing this?

Xia Yangyang stood up, “I’m going to see the manager.”

Xia Yangyang went to the office of the station manager.

She just happened to see Li Jianyue coming out.

His face was purple with rage.

Xia Yangyang had never seen such an infuriated Teacher Li before.

Li Jianyue spotted Xia Yangyang and said, “I originally thought that this TV station was different from other media outlets, that at least truth came before profit. Now I understand that was only because the temptation wasn’t big enough. I can’t stay here anymore. Xiao Xia, you take care of yourself.”

Li Jianyue strode off without looking back.

Xia Yangyang stood at the door for a moment, then knocked.

The manager’s voice was equally irritable, “Come in!”
