She needed to break up with him to clear his name. It would be unfair to him if she didn’t let go.
She clutched her glass in resignation, feeling a chill in her heart. Was there really no other way in this circle?
“Jin Lan, what are you thinking about?” Mr. Chang urged.
Jin Lan was awakened by his nauseating words. She looked up at him. Mr. Chang was staring at her with a gaze that said, ‘No matter what, you can’t escape me.’ It made her extremely uncomfortable.
“Come on, cheers!” Mr. Chang said and clinked glasses with her. There was a strong sense of suppression in his tone.
Jin Lan held her glass and drank the contents in one gulp.
Mr. Chang laughed and said, “That’s more like it. By the way, I heard that you broke up with Mr. Mingjue? You split up quite cleanly. After you broke up, you didn’t have any contact with him at all. It’s a rare sight.”
It seemed that he had asked about a lot of things and had Jin Lan under his control.
Jin Lan pursed her lips and said, “Isn’t that how breakups work? We broke up yesterday, but maybe we’ll be together again tomorrow.”
She was a little drunk, so she became much bolder. “Mr. Chang, don’t you think so? I’m still a beautiful woman. What if Mr. Mingjue still misses me?”
Mr. Chang was originally confident that victory was in his hands. But when he heard her words, he hesitated.
In the beginning, he did not forcefully take action against Jin Lan because he enjoyed the fun of catching mice. Later on, he did not dare to move when he wanted to because of Lu Mingjue!
If Lu Mingjue really came back for Jin Lan, he would definitely be a little afraid. Jin Lan smiled and said, “Don’t you think so, Mr. Chang?”
“Yes, let’s see when he’ll come looking for you.” There was a hint of sarcasm in Mr. Chang’s words, but in the end, he did not dare to act rashly tonight.
He held his glass of wine and turned to leave. Before leaving, he said fiercely, “Coincidentally, I’ll be able to see Mr. Mingjue in two days. At that time, I’ll ask him if he minds me pursuing the woman he gave up on!”
Jin Lan was so frightened by his words that she sobered up. Lu Mingjue must still hate her now. If he said that he did not care about her, she would really fall into Mr. Chang’s hands…
She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Jin Lan, are you alright?” Xu Wangzhi, who had gone to toast with the director, returned. Seeing that her expression was not right, he asked with concern.
“I’m fine. I drank some alcohol just now.”
“Didn’t I tell you to just drink juice?” Xu Wangzhi was a little helpless.
Qiao Weiyang also came back from the call. When she saw this scene, she said, “Forget it. Sometimes, it’s inevitable. Drink more water. I’m leaving early. I’ll bring you along.”
If Jin Lan left early, it would definitely be a bad move in front of the others. However, with Qiao Weiyang taking her away, no one would say anything.
Jin Lan walked out with Qiao Weiyang.
“I’ll send you back,” Qiao Weiyang said. “Do you want to take medicine?”
“No need. It was just a glass of alcohol. I can still hold on. I’ll just take a taxi back.” Jin Lan smiled and shook her head.
Seeing that she was indeed alright, Qiao Weiyang did not insist and said, “Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay, you can leave first. Bye.” Jin Lan waved at her.
After Qiao Weiyang’s car left her sight, Jin Lan squatted down and covered her stomach uncomfortably.
It was true that this glass of alcohol did not make her drunk, but after drinking the large glass of strong alcohol, she felt a burning pain in her stomach. Her heart also started beating fast.
At the thought that Mr. Chang would often appear in front of her during the four-month filming period, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She rubbed the space between her eyebrows, feeling a little impatient. She was squatting when she heard footsteps. The person eventually stopped beside her.
Like a frightened deer, Jin Lan immediately stood up.
Her actions were so sudden and urgent that she fell into the man’s arms.
Jin Lan was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back. She lost her balance and was about to fall back.
Fortunately, the person quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, saving her.
She stood up in shock before she realized that she was in his arms again. She also realized who this person was.
For a moment, she was stunned.
Lu Mingjue’s scent was very pleasant. It was comfortable.
She hadn’t seen him since the day they broke up. For a long time, she didn’t even dare to think of him.
Being hugged by him like this again, Jin Lan leaned against his chest and did not come out of his embrace directly. It was as if leaning against him would give her more strength and courage.
“Have you had enough?”
Then, Lu Mingjue’s playful voice sounded.
Jin Lan hurriedly separated from him and stood up straight.
She said in a low voice, “I didn’t mean to lean on you. You came so suddenly that I thought you… You scared me.”
“Who did you think I was that gave you such a fright?” His voice sounded above her head.
Jin Lan looked up at him and met his playful gaze.
She pursed her lips. She knew that he would find out even if she didn’t say it. “The vice president of my previous company, Mr. Chang. He happens to be a sponsor of my new show this time. I saw that he had malicious intentions, so I thought he came out to look for me again..
There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. Lu Mingjue had one hand in his pocket as he sized her up indifferently. He asked calmly, “He’s still harassing you? Hasn’t your contract been terminated?”
“Maybe he feels that what he can’t have is the best. I don’t know how he followed me here, but rich people always have many ways.” Jin Lan said helplessly, her mouth reeking of alcohol.
“Did he make you drink?”
“I just did some socializing.” Jin Lan smiled helplessly.
Lu Mingjue gritted his teeth slightly and asked, “Didn’t you know how to use me before? Why can’t you do it now?”
“Huh?” After Jin Lan heard this, she thought for a while and said, “I’m really sorry about what happened before. Now, I’m naturally embarrassed to trouble you again.”
“Well, I don’t mind being troubled by you again. Since you want to make use of me, just use me.”
Jin Lan’s eyes widened as she stared at Lu Mingjue.
He looked back at her for a few seconds.
It was Lu Mingjue who spoke first. “What do you think?”
Jin Lan also came back to her senses and said, “Since you want to be used by me so much, why shouldn’t I take you up on your offer?”
Lu Mingjue extended his arm to her. Without much hesitation, Jin Lan hooked her arm around his.
The moment she hooked it, her heart beat faster. Through his shirt, she felt that the man’s skin was warmer than hers, making her feel some unusual heat..nove(l)bi(n.)com
