Upon seeing Lu Che, Grandfather Long was immediately reminded of Luo Hao's words. He did not look pleased as he questioned Lu Che rudely, "Young man, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be waiting outside my granddaughters home in the middle of the night?"
Lu Che didn't understand why Grandfather Long was hostile towards him, so he immediately explained, "I was told that Long Jie went to pick you up, so I wanted to see if you needed help with anything."
"No need. Please leave."
Long Jie smiled at Lu Che awkwardly; she too did not understand what was wrong with her grandfather. Of course, Lu Che couldn't continue to stick around. He politely said, "Good night," before disappearing from their sight.
"Long Man, tell me honestly, are you entangled in a relationship with this man?"
"Grandfather, what are you talking about?"
"Mr. Luo told me you are somebody's mistress!" Grandfather Long scolded as he pointed to Long Jie's nose. "Don't ever see that man again." Long Jie was in shock. At the same time, she felt a little angry. She had never imagined, Luo Hao would be despicable to this extent.
"And your boss, Tangning. President Lan is such a lovely woman, why are you guys bullying her and going against her?"
"Grandfather! Did you know Lan Xi was holding you hostage? President Lan wanted to use you to threaten Tangning. Tangning was the one that got you out of there..." Long Jie anxiously tried to explain.
"Hostage? I think there must be something wrong with your brain. President Lan gave me good food and drinks. She took good care of me and even took me out to fun places. It's nothing like you think."
Long Jie: "..."
She suddenly found it hard to explain the scheming tactics of the entertainment industry.
She felt a bit helpless. This old man had been too easy to manipulate; he was using the fake words of others to hurt his own people.
After putting her grandfather to sleep, Long Jie gave Lu Che a phone call and apologized, "I'm so sorry that my grandfather was being impolite today. After being locked away for a few days and fed lies by Lan Xi and Luo Hao, he is being critical towards me as well."
"As long as he is OK," Lu Che replied casually like he was unfazed. "I am currently playing a game. You should go to sleep early." OK, good night.
The way Lu Che spoke to her made Long Jie feel a bit uneasy. But, why should this bother her? It's not like Lu Che would ever like her.
In reality, after hanging up the phone, Lu Che was also feeling a bit uneasy. He couldn't say that he wasn't affected by Grandfather Long's hostility; he was only being nice, yet who would have thought a misunderstanding like this would ensue.
His heart felt a little strange; it felt different to when he was upset in the past...
It was a cold winter's night. After taking a shower, Tangning threw herself into Mo Ting's warm embrace. As she leaned back and used his arm as a pillow, she started speaking, "Lan Xi isn't normally like this. Why would she give me an international show? I thought she was dying to tear me apart...however, JK's show is indeed very tempting to me."
Mo Ting hugged Tangning and wrapped his strong legs around her gentle body, trapping her completely in his embrace.
"If she wants to give it to you, then take it..."
He knew, no matter what Lan Xi did, it would be merely pushing Tangning towards Hai Rui.
Of course, Tangning was also well aware of this.
