Chapter 72: 072: Jing Qian’s Gift
Zhan Shuyu, who was standing next to them, said, “Looks like Ah Chuan really cares about Qianqian. Qianqian, you see how much Ah Chuan likes you? You have to treat him wholeheartedly, okay?!”
Jing Qian had no idea how the conversation ended up back to her.
However, she could understand the warning from Zhan Shuyu, since she had overheard the conversation that she had with Una on the phone earlier today.
Jing Qian did not feel guilt or fear due to being caught as she smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, Second sister. I’ll take good care of Third Young Master.”
Master Zhan immediately seized the opportunity and insisted, “Why are you still referring to him as ‘Third Young Master’? Qianqian, he’s your husband, you should call him ‘Ah Chuan’ instead.”
“Ummm, sure. I’ll refer him to Ah Chuan, then.”
When Zhan Lichuan heard her answer so casually, he understood that she was just trying to stay out of trouble. For someone like her, who did not care much, it may look like she was very close to him, but in reality, she was keeping a distance from him.
The servants who planted the Henbits had already left the mansion and they didn’t get to capture the person who messed with his air-conditioner. As such, they didn’t come to a conclusion as to who was trying to harm Zhan Lichuan.
Although both Zhan Shuyu and Zhan Yuheng were the prime suspects, there was still a chance that it wouldn’t be them. The Zhan family had lots of rivals from different industries, especially towards Zhan Lichuan, since his spurt had caused problems to a lot of people, there were a lot of other people who wanted him dead as well.
After investigating it, it was revealed that Zhan Yuheng and Zhan Shuyu were both secretly doing things for Zhan Lichuan. Without any new evidence, they had to leave this matter alone.
In the evening, Una told their nanny to prepare dinner in order to welcome Xue Ning.
Xue Ning was the best friend of their daughter, Peng Miaoqi. The two of them went to the same high school and were now in the same college as well. Xue Ning had a financial situation at home and seeing that she was a good friend of their daughter, they decided to support her education in H City’s Drama School. Xue Ning also addressed them as her godparents.
Una may not be able to treat this ‘daughter’ like her actual daughter, but if Xue Ning remained a good friend to her own daughter and was able to help her, she wouldn’t mind helping Xue Ning.
Both of them would be in the entertainment industry anyways and would be able to help each other and Una wasn’t worried that Xue Ning would take the limelight away from her daughter.
As both the kids were chatting and laughing away at the table, Una was also having a good talk with her husband.
Since there were outsiders around, Una didn’t want to speak of Qin Yi, but she kept talking about how Jing Qian was being an ungrateful b*tch and that she was worried about how Jing Qian would ruin Qin Yi’s chance as a first male lead.
Peng Miaoqi and Xue Ning were both fans of Qin Yi. When they heard that Jing Qian was taking advantage of the resources that she had, making herself the first female lead and taking away Qin Yi’s role, they started cursing her.
Peng Miaoqi was Qin Yi’s cousin sister and since she hadn’t debuted yet, she was the president of Qin Yi’s fan club. She was just saying that if Jing Qian had the balls to mess up Qin Yi’s chance as the first male lead, she would get the fan club to riot.
This was when Una received a message.
It was a message from Jing Qian, and Una thought that Jing Qian was asking for a truce.
Instead, it was a photo.
In that photo, a woman was sitting opposite a man and feeding him ice cream. The man was enjoying it with bliss and satisfaction.
She knew the couple in the photo. She knew them very well.
That was her husband and the woman opposite him was her daughter’s best friend, her goddaughter—Xue Ning!
At that moment, Una could feel her blood pressure rising rapidly.
