Chapter 38: Disrupting Her Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In her previous life, Lu Xueru had been criticized for her role. But Lu Qingqiao had bought millions of internet water armies to create the atmosphere of her being the character, which highlighted her superb acting skills. Later, her fans were still indignant that she did not win the award.

Lu Qingqiao experienced her acting skills and also expressed her opinion. She did not fit the description of the character’s temperament.

In Yu Shu’s words, Lu Xueru was more suitable for the kind of white lotus, green tea, and silly-sweet character.

“If Sister says so, then I have even less chance of winning.” Lu Xueru cursed in her heart, but she was still smiling.

If someone else had said that to her, she would have slapped them in the face and said, “Who do you think you are!”

However, she needed Lu Qingqiao’s help, so she could only bear with it.

Lu Qingqiao was pleased to see her pretending to be dejected but was sulking in reality. She threw another sentence at her that made her feel even more sullen.

“Speaking of Director Xu, he has already chosen an old house in Luo City as one of the shooting scenes.”

Lu Xueru had a bad feeling when she heard the first four words. As expected, she only felt a buzz in her head after she heard this sentence and subconsciously said, “What?”

Lu Qingqiao inattentively looked at her. When Lu Qingqiao saw the instinctive anger on her face, Lu Xueru quickly suppressed it and put on a worried look. “Sister, that’s the Lu family’s old residence. Won’t it cause damage if we let outsiders film it like this?”

She seemed extremely worried. It was as if she were worried about the buildings being destroyed.

“Director Xu will be careful,” Lu Qingqiao replied.

“That’s good. Sister, come and try the cake.” Lu Xueru forced a smile.

“I’ll eat later.” Lu Qingqiao held a cigarette between her fingers as she walked toward the window.

Lu Xueru looked at Lu Qingqiao’s back and suppressed her smile. She was feeling a little frustrated.

She had found out about Director Xu Hongzhi’s request and thought the Lu family’s old residence in Luo City was very suitable. She had planned to discuss this with Lu Qingqiao today and then use her to pull the strings to let Director Xu know it was all her credit to win his favor. After which, she could carry out her next plan.

But now, Lu Qingqiao was telling her that Director Xu had already settled?

The old residence in Luo City had been under Lu Qingqiao’s name back then. It could be said to be her private property. Without her permission, who would have known about it?

Therefore, Lu Qingqiao was the one who suggested this.

The Lu Corporation did not invest in the movie, so why did she suddenly want to get on Director Xu’s good side?

Lu Xueru could not understand, so she could only ask Lu Qingqiao, “Sister, why did you suddenly think of lending the old house to Director Xu?”

Lu Qingqiao turned around and stood in front of the window. Lu Xueru could not see the expression on Lu Qingqiao’s face as she stood against the light. She could only hear Lu Qingqiao’s cold voice. “Because I have something to trouble him with.”

“What’s the matter?” Lu Xueru asked.

Lu Qingqiao blew out a cloud of smoke, and her voice seemed to have dissipated. “It’s the company.”

What she meant was she was not qualified to know.

“Can’t you tell me?” Lu Xueru asked.

In the past, Lu Qingqiao rarely hid things from her. She would tell her when she asked, even if it were about the company. She trusted her a lot.

However, she was hiding things from her now. After all, Lu Xueru still cared about her relationship with Si Jingsen. No matter how much she said it, she would still show how much she cared about him.

“I can’t,” Lu Qingqiao replied.

Could she tell her that she was on her way to destroy Ji Rui International?

Then, what was the difference between her and seeking death?

Lu Xueru had hit a wall, but she guessed that Lu Qingqiao did not say anything because the company had an important project related to Director Xu. She chatted with Lu Qingqiao for a while, then pretended she had to leave because of work.

Before she left, she even reminded Lu Qingqiao to eat the cake.
