Chapter 192: Proud
Yesterday afternoon, Lu Xianzhi had asked for leave. Xiaxia had gossiped with her, saying that he had applied for leave to accompany his financier. He had not returned to the hotel at night and had been staying at his financier’s house ever since.
Ling Sheng wondered if his injury had something to do with the financier Xiaxia had mentioned.
However, this had nothing to do with her regardless. She had only asked about it out of consideration for the owner of the body and had been scolded.
Ling Sheng knew that it would be impossible for her not to drink when she would be having a meal with the investors this time. It would not be easy for her to survive.
The restaurant was located in a well-known mountain villa. Ling Sheng and Xiaxia got in the same car.
Xiaxia, who was a gossipy person, whispered, “You got in the car early. I saw Lu Xianzhi’s financier. She drove a Maserati over to fetch him.”
“Okay!” Ling Sheng was not very interested in Lu Xianzhi’s current situation. One had to choose their own path.
“Sheng Sheng, you’re really not interested.” Xiaxia pursed her lips and let out a regretful sigh. “You don’t know anything. That woman is really old. I think she’s forty or fifty years old. Her face is deformed. Her makeup is so thick that she looks like an old monster. How can Lu Xianzhi stand that?”
As she spoke, she shivered and gooseb.u.mps formed on her skin.
Ling Sheng frowned and smiled. “It might be true love!”
“True love my *ss. I can tell that Lu Xianzhi’s body and mind are ostracizing her. When they meet, only the woman is smiling and he doesn’t let her touch him.” Xiaxia sighed in anger. “Sheng Sheng, aren’t you his schoolmate? Please persuade him to leave that old woman. I have a feeling that he must be having some difficulties.”
“We’re not on good terms. Didn’t you see him ignore me?” Ling Sheng pouted. “Also, didn’t you have a good time with him recently? You tell him!”
“Sheng Sheng, is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? When Lu Xianzhi sees you every day, his gaze is different from when he looks at others.” Xiaxia held her chin and thought for a while before choosing her words. “He looks very affectionate when he sees you. I’ve seen him look at you a few times.”
She had not dared tell Sheng Sheng about this.
On the surface, Lu Xianzhi did not seem to like her, but she kept feeling that he had deliberately distanced himself from Sheng Sheng and actually cared about her.
Her sixth sense had always been very accurate, but she did not know why he had done that.
“Do you like him?” Ling Sheng asked jokingly.
Xiaxia screamed in a low voice and covered her face. “No, I don’t. I just think he’s quite charismatic.”
“You don’t mind him being a kept man?”
“He must have his reasons. Otherwise, how could a proud man like him act like this?”
“Do you know him that well?”
“I don’t know him, but I think it’s a pity. His acting skills are decent, he’s good-looking, he has a good temperament, and he has his own principles. He’ll definitely become popular. If he becomes popular, he’ll be exposed as a kept man…”
“That’s his choice. Humans have to be responsible for their choices.”
…
Xiaxia felt very regretful. Lu Xianzhi was very handsome and charismatic and had good acting skills and great talent. He could sing, dance, and act. He also played a lot of musical instruments. Even if he was a live streamer online, he would be able to earn money every day. There was no need for him to be reckless and treat an old woman as his lover!
Ling Sheng did not know what was wrong, but she was sure that something was amiss. She looked out the window and saw that the sky had gradually darkened.
