Leng Ziyue was nervous. Even now, he still felt very uncomfortable facing Tang Guo.

He walked into the villa, and yet, he didn’t see the woman who was usually seated on the sofa. This wasn’t what he had expected to see.

He didn’t know why, but somehow, he felt a sense of disappointment rising within him. He looked all around before finally resorting to asking the maid where Tang Guo was.

“Moved out?”

“When?”

“Miss Tang moved out a long time ago,” the maid said after thinking about it for a while. Then, she told him the date Tang Guo had moved out.

Leng Ziyue ran a mental check to determine when exactly that was. Wasn’t that the day of the “Beautiful Voices” finals? A complex look flashed in his eyes. Just as he had expected, his father would never allow any woman to remain in the villa for more than a month. Tang Guo had only stayed in the villa for half a month.

“Where’s my father?”

“Sir is in the study.”

Leng Ziyue strode over to the study, but the maid hastened to remind him softly, “Young Master, Sir hasn’t been in a good mood lately.”

Leng Ziyue nodded, growing a little hesitant about whether or not he should go directly into the study to look for Leng Rui. When Leng Rui was angry, Leng Ziyue couldn’t hold his own against him.

In the end, thinking about how Lu Qi would be able to extricate herself from her current predicament if Leng Rui offered his help…

For the sake of the woman he loved, he would brave the odds. He knocked on the door of the study room.

“Come in.”

Hearing this cold, apathetic voice, Leng Ziyue felt his heart leap.

“Father.”

Leng Rui didn’t even raise his head. “Purpose,” he said.

“I…”

“Purpose.”

Hearing this voice, which sounded twice as cold, Leng Ziyue felt his legs go a little wobbly. He said, “Qiqi isn’t in a good situation right now. She’s facing too many negative influences that aren’t good for her future development. I don’t see the need to continue with that reality show program from before.”

“Isn’t there a more popular music program out right now? It’s just that the cast is more or less finalized. Father, you can help me talk them into adding one more cast member.”

Even if this music program was run by ordinary people, it would still be quite useful for his father to say a few words.

But this music program was run by a very powerful, influential person in the industry, and there was no way he would listen to Leng Ziyue. Or it should be said, this was someone who wasn’t afraid of offending other people.

It just so happened that this person was quite friendly with Leng Rui, so if Leng Rui was the one who put in a word for Lu Qi, the other party would definitely grant him a favor.

The most important thing was that if Leng Rui really did ask this man for a favor, Lu Qi would surely enjoy a meteoric rise to stardom.

However… Leng Rui looked up imperceptibly, with a slight frown between his brows.

“Who is this woman you’re talking about?”

Leng Ziyue replied, “Dad, I told you about her last time. She’s my girlfriend.”

He felt suffocated.

“Dad, what do you think?”

At first, he thought that Leng Rui would outright refuse him, but unexpectedly, the other party threw him a business card and said, “You can just call him. That will do.”

Leng Ziyue was overjoyed and hurriedly took the name card. He didn’t even mention anything about the matter of asking Leng Rui to ask for a personal favor.

This was a personal phone number. With this telephone number, it would mean that the matter at hand was more or less done.

“Thank you, Father.”

Seeing that Leng Rui wasn’t in a good mood, he didn’t dare to ask about why Tang Guo had moved out. In fact, he felt that it was good that she had moved out. That way, he could avoid the awkwardness that came when he had to face her.

He had his selfish reasons too. Without his father boosting Tang Guo’s career, there would be one less obstacle in Lu Qi’s way.

After all, the person he loved was Lu Qi.

Tang Guo had already become a big hit, hadn’t she?

By now, there should be quite a hefty amount of resources available to her, so she shouldn’t fare too badly in the future.

Leng Ziyue left with peace of mind. The better Tang Guo’s life would be, the less guilt he would feel in his heart.

Regardless of what high-class banquet it was, Leng Rui wouldn’t stay more than ten minutes.

As a matter of fact, after exchanging greetings with a few slightly more important people, Leng Rui got up from his seat.

“Mr. Leng, are you leaving?”

The other people looked at one another, feeling helpless. This man had always been like this, but they didn’t dare to say anything. It was just that they hadn’t managed to achieve their goal, which was a pity.

Leng Rui was about to nod when suddenly, a soothing female voice sounded, and he moved back the foot he’d stepped forward with.
