Chapter 220

“What, a car accident?”

Lu Jinnian, who sat on the sofa with a cold expression, heard these words, which caused his brows to unintentionally crease .

In the afternoon, Qiao Anhao and Qiao Anxia were together . . .

Lu Jinnian’s usually icy eyes glanced over with a hint of anxiousness . His laid-back and relaxed body slightly stiffened, and his focus heightened . He heard Cheng Yang’s gentle voice ask gently, “Are you hurt? It was a serious crash . . . “

Coincidentally, Cheng Yang opened the door to the director’s room at that time and stepped out, conveniently closing the door behind him and cutting off any sound behind him . Lu Jinnian’s brows tightened even more intensely, his thoughts growing even more confused .

The director didn’t stop the discussion on account of Cheng Yang having left the room . The usual eloquently-spoken Lu Jinnian sat very quietly on the sofa . His eyes didn’t turn away from the view outside the window . It looked like his full attention was focused on listening to the director’s words, yet it also looked like he was lost in thought .

The director seemed like he said he was tired . Finally coming to a end, he turned to ask Lu Jinnian, “Mr . Lu, what do you think about these amendments to the script?”

Lu Jinnian didn’t make a single reaction . Both his eyes were still glued to the view out of the window .

The director picked up his teacup from the table and took a sip . He looked at Lu Jinnian, who didn’t say a word, and said again, “Mr . Lu?”

Song Xiangsi creased her brows and turned her head . She saw Lu Jinnian unexpectedly in a daze, and so she extended her arm to touch his arm . She said in a low voice, “What are you thinking about? The director asked for your thoughts . “

Lu Jinnian gave a “mm” . Coming back to his senses, he blinked, pulling his eyes back from outside the window . Just now, he only cared whether Qiao Anhao was in Qiao Anxia’s car at the time of the accident and if she was hurt . He simply didn’t hear the director’s words . To ask him for his thoughts, now . . . How would he know?

Lu Jinnian’s eyes flatly swept past the people sitting in the room . He gave a composed nod, thought about it for a moment, and said, “It’s great” . He then fished around his pocket for his phone, wanting to give Qiao Anhao a call . In the end, Cheng Yang, who took the call, coincidentally pushed the door open to come back into the room at that exact moment .

“I’m terribly sorry, Anxia was just in a bit of a car accident and didn’t bring her driving license . The traffic police are waiting to inspect it . I have to go bring it to her,” said Cheng Yang apologetically .

“A car accident . Was it serious?” Song Xiangsi asked, concerned .

“There shouldn’t be any big problems . “

Cheng Yang’s reply made Lu Jinnian forcefully purse his lips . The hand clutching his phone instinctively tightened . There shouldn’t be any big problems . . . What did he mean by “shouldn’t”?

Lu Jinnian turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yang, who had grabbed for his jacket . He got up with a calm expression and picked up his own jacket . “Well, actually I have business in the city too and I need a lift . My assistant has the car . As you’re on the way, take me with you . “

Cheng Yang and Lu Jinnian came out from the hotel . When Cheng Yang pulled out his car keys and was ready to sit down, Lu Jinnian said, “Give me the keys, I’ll drive . “

Cheng Yang zoned out for a bit, yet he didn’t react . He handed Lu Jinnian his car keys .

As Lu Jinnian started the car up, he asked, “Where’s the car accident?”

“At Fourth Ring Road . . . “

Cheng Yang hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Jinnian stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel at top speeds, and drove off .
