A satin curtain cascaded down from the ceiling and hovered over the luxurious and s.p.a.cious round bed. There was also a European-style retro dressing table, a retro velvet chair and a pure white Persian carpet that covered the dark ground.
Mo Qiange pursed his lips and his eyes began to twitch a little. “Luo Anning, is this… ”
Luo Anning was extremely embarra.s.sed. However, she still nodded firmly and said what he wanted to hear. “Yes, Rong Yan was the one who decorated this… princess-themed room.”
Even Luo Anning found it to be incredibly absurd because they were in the detainment room. For Heaven’s sake, who has ever decorated a detainment room and turned it into a Princess-themed one?
Luo Anning felt that Rong Yan was the weirdest person she knew.
After feeling bewildered, Mo Qiange snapped back to reality and asked solemnly, “Anning, did anything happen before Ou Lixue’s incident occurred?”
Greatly stunned, Luo Anning quickly frowned and tried to recall what happened. “Before I met her, the bodyguard informed me that she was going to the film set for an audition. However, she went missing later and the bodyguards couldn’t find her at all. When I rushed there to look for her, she called me to say that she was in Qingxin Hospital and wanted me to go look for her there. By the time I arrived, she strangely told me that she had begun regretting her decision to help Luo Xinya… I told her to shut up and she then made me follow her to the rooftop. I followed her without any doubts… When we reached the rooftop, she got really agitated and continuously told me that she regretted harming Luo Xinya and that I was the one who caused her to end up in such a pathetic state. She grabbed my arm forcefully and pushed me against the railing. I struggled to get out of her grip but by the time I retracted my hand, she had already fallen off the rooftop.”
Seemingly still feeling traumatized, Luo Anning began to sound softer and softer. “I don’t know why she leaned backwards either but I’m sure that I didn’t push her. Most importantly, her eyes were out of focus and gla.s.sed over, a stark contrast from the bright gaze that was in her eyes when she was arguing with me moments before she fell to her death.”
Mo Qiange remained silent for a long while before patting her back a.s.suringly. “In that case, the problem lies with Ou Lixue. You’ve already sent bodyguards to protect her and I’ve also actively tried to give her some jobs, ever since the previous incident. In that case, she definitely wouldn’t regret harming Luo Xinya.”
Luo Anning nodded, for she shared similar sentiments as him. Ou Lixue was truly acting too unusually.
Which celebrity or member of the s...o...b..z industry would get so worked up and angry because of the lack of friends?
In this industry where people come and go, true friends.h.i.+p does not exist and mutual interests are only temporary. If there were to be a strain on the relations.h.i.+p because of a conflict of interests, those who were smart would never choose friends.h.i.+p.
After all, one could always get new friends but once the interests are gone, there would not be such a fortunate opportunity again.
…
After Mo Qiange left, silence was restored and nighttime arrived, making the detainment room look even more old and terrifying.
Luo Anning tried to tell herself not to be scared but she could not stop thinking about the way Ou Lixue looked after her death.
She had lost plenty of blood and the scene was absolutely horrifying and hair-raising.
She could fool anyone except herself!
Luo Anning opened her laptop in a bid to distract herself. Unfortunately, she was greeted with the hot searches on the internet, which included her alleged murder and other reports about Ou Lixue.
She slammed the laptop shut and leaped onto the bed without even removing her shoes. She then grabbed the pink blanket to protect herself, as if that would not make her feel afraid anymore.
