Su Su took a while to respond after recognizing who it was.
The one who arrived was none other than her savior himself, Lu Wen. Her gaze wavered, and her hand on the doorknob betrayed her thoughts.
After a while, Su Su removed her hand and studied the man.
Lu Wen’s gaze, tinged with a grin, made her feel uneasy.
Su Su said, “Thank you for saving me,” very slowly. “However, I have to get going. Please let me leave…”
Lu Wen remained silent throughout. He just stopped short of letting Su Su pass through the door.
Su Su’s blood ran cold.
She had heard that some elites had unusual pastimes. To gratify their sick fantasies, they sought out young girls and locked them up in their homes.
The guy in front of her may be such a person, she thought.
Su Su couldn’t stop herself from shuddering.
“What gives? Are you afraid? Isn’t six million enough for you to settle down?” Lu Wen asked.
Lu Wen approached Su Su and gently pushed her to the bed.
Su Su stumbled and fell on the bed. She frantically took in the man’s face. “I am not that type of woman, and I am aware that you rescued me. But I’m not doing something like this, there’s just no way.”
When Lu Wen heard what Su Su said, he burst out laughing.
Indeed, Su Su was a naive and gullible young lady.
He could easily use her against Luo Ying.
Lu Wen got to his feet and spun Su Su around so that could straighten her garments in a gentlemanly manner.
He set down the dish he was holding and gave Su Su a glance. “I just got some snacks. It’s still too early for lunch. You obviously went without food for quite some time. Fill your tummy with something.”
Su Su regarded Lu Wen with suspicion.
The tray’s assortment of pastries was impressive. They came from a famous bakery around here.
Su Su was a regular back in the day, before the debt collectors came for her.
For many days, she had gone without food. She fought back her drool at the sight of the sugary treats.
“Eat, or not. Doesn’t matter to me.” Lu Wen pushed the plate to Su Su.” Su Su gave Lu Wen a wary glance.
With a grumble, Lu Wen popped the treat into his lips. “I spent six million dollars on you. I don’t intend for you to go hungry or get sick and die.”
The dam in Su Su broke. She crammed all the food into her mouth. She ate a few pieces to calm her stomach.
She cocked her head to the side to study Lu Wen. “My family is long finished.
Why would you help me?”
Lu Wen leaned down close to her ear and murmured something.
With a scowl and a look of astonishment in her eyes, Su Su gazed up at Lu Wen.
“Your family’s plight is of little consequence to me. You shouldn’t underestimate the Lu Family’s influence. Naturally, I will have a plan to restore the Su Family when the time comes.”
The guy stared down at Su Su for a moment. His eyes were darting about like a snake about to strike.
Su Su was unable to meet his eyes. She turned away.
“Give it some serious thought.” Lu Wen got to his feet and went out, leaving her alone in silence.
In the room, the white curtains flapped softly as the wind moved them.
White clouds blanketed the sky.
Cheng Yang literally dragged Luo Ying to the hotel once she arrived at the set.
Cheng Yang said that she was planning a ceremony to officially welcome Luo Ying.
The incident involving Su Su had been on Luo Ying’s mind. She was about to turn her down, but Jin Shi remarked that at the moment, they had no leads on where to go for information regarding Su Su. She would be more productive if she went about her other businesses.
Luo Ying decided play along.
She followed Director Cheng Yang into the crew’s private quarters.
No one stood up to leave their seats.
Lin Ping had also been invited, but he looked far from happy. He would glance away from Luo Ying whenever possible.
At first, Luo Ying didn’t quite understand it. This change in Lin Ping’s behavior toward her occurred after her first stage performance with Su Ran. He kept a respectable distance, but he had been quietly watching her. She felt like he was conflicted between approaching her and respecting her personal space.
It truly baffled Luo Ying.
She took her seat and asked, “Director Cheng, what are we doing today?”
