They continued their meal in silence until both heard footsteps coming their way.
"Is it true? Our Ying is here?" A feminine voice could be heard from the hallway.
"Yes, Madam. She's currently having lunch with Master Yuren," they heard a servant answer her question.
The woman went straight to the dining room where they were in. Her face instantly lit up upon seeing her niece dining with her husband.
"Ying! There you are. I haven't seen you in weeks, darling." Zheng Yue gave Li Yuren a quick peck on his cheek before taking the seat next to him.
"You're early today. Didn't you say that your shoot for the film will end late?" Li Yuren asked his wife, clearly surprised that she hadn't called him to pick her up from the set location.
He and Zheng Yue had been married for almost fifteen years now and had a son of their own. Zheng Yue was still signed under Griffin Entertainment and was previously known in the showbiz world as a film empress.
His question made the smile on her beautiful face disappear. She was reminded of what transpired earlier while waiting in her dressing room.
"Dear, I found something today." she started and gave Li Xiuying a worried look. "The script was changed. It seemed like the producer wanted to give Lin Meirong more lines compared to our female lead."
Even though Zheng Yue had long retired from the industry, she recently accepted the offer for the film 'To You With Love' as she was impressed with the storyline. However, what she didn't expect was Lin Meirong's participation as the second female lead of the film.
The actress for the female lead was recently scouted by Griffin Entertainment and didn't have enough backing yet. While the Tang family saw great potential in Lan Jinyao, she still needed a lot of experience to prove she was worthy of their time and attention.
Zheng Yue tried to be professional and not cast her disgust over the woman who seduced her niece's husband. At the set, she pretended that she didn't know Lin Meirong and treated her nicely when in fact she couldn't wait to wait for the scene they'll both be taking so she could unleash her anger on Lin Meirong.
Lin Meirong and Mu Jianyu had been oblivious to the fact that Li Xiuying and the whole Li family, except for Li Chuntao, were aware of their affair. Did they really think they could hide everything from them?
"Not only that, but I also heard that your husband invested in Redux Entertainment to support Lin Meirong's growing popularity," she told her husband whose face suddenly darkened at the mention of Mu Jianyu's insolence towards their family.
Trying to uplift his mistress' career by using the wealth of the Li family? Mu Jianyu was really courting death this time.
Li Xiuying clenched her fist hard under the table, her face betraying her efforts to keep calm. His lies continued to be uncovered, each stabbing her with unbearable pain.
Mu Jianyu never cared for her, as if he had forgotten the woman he'd claimed to love and married. Whatever happened to the man who promised to take care of her, the man who swore would never leave her alone?
"Xiuying" Zheng Yue was getting worried about her niece. Li Xiuying was pregnant without her husband knowing and he abandoned her at the moment she needed him the most.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll fix this problem. You and Lan Jinyao won't need to worry about Lin Meirong." Li Xiuying promised her.
