Chapter 249

“Holy sh*t, Mr . Lu is so arrogant and reckless! A billion! A billion yuan investment . He said he’d kick, and so he just kicks! The world of the wealthy . . . I just don’t get it!”

Qiao Anhao didn’t reply to Zhao Meng’s messages, her friend complained on her own . Seeing as she sent so many messages with no reply, she stopped sending anymore .

Qiao Anhao gripped her phone where she stood on the balcony for quite a long time . Then she lifted her finger, opened WeChat, and listened to each and every one of Zhao Meng’s messages again .

In the afternoon, she wasn’t sure that Lu Jinnian had done all of that for her, but now, she was pretty sure of it .

From Zhao Meng’s messages, she could hear that Lu Jinnian fought Producer Sun when he saved her last night . She couldn’t imagine what it would possibly look like for such a heartlessly cold man to physically fight someone . Her racing heart hastened without reason .

Lin Shiyi’s scandals were everywhere, and Producer Sun was kicked out of “Alluring Times’s” production crew . . . It was just like what Zhao Meng said, a billion yuan investment . He said he’d kick, and so he just kicks! That’s definitely daring, and so arrogant!

Qiao Anhao couldn’t help but tightly grip her phone . Actually, it wasn’t like Lu Jinnian had never helped her in the past .

When Lin Shiyi made things difficult at “Alluring Times’s” first dinner party, his one word helped her get out of it .

When Lin Shiyi took photos of her in his room and exposed them on Weibo, he was the one who asked Song Xiangsi for help .

When she fell down from the faulty swing, he was the one who selflessly leaped in to catch her .

After all the times he had helped her, she had never felt as shaken up and moved from the bottom of her heart as this one . In those instances he would have helped everyone the same, but this time, she could say for sure that Lu Jinnian was protecting her .

This confirmation made Qiao Anhao’s heart grow instantly wild .

She had never thought that she would ever be protected by such an unbelievably cold man . Though she didn’t know why he protected her, deep down inside, she was moved, happy, and satisified .

Qiao Anhao, who had hesitated just a moment ago whether to call or send him a text message, suddenly, really wanted to see Lu Jinnian .

She tightly grasped the phone, a little nervous . Then she took a deep breath, looked for Lu Jinnian’s number, and made the call .

–

Darkness shrouded Huan Ying Entertainment tower .

Each and every member of the board of directors wore scowling expressions on their faces as they left the meeting room with cold looks .

Song Xiangsi only came out from her own office when everyone had left . She stood in the empty hall for a while . Then went to the break room and made a cup of coffee . Carrying her coffee, she walked over to Lu Jinnian’s office . . .

Song Xiangsi knocked on the door . She didn’t hear a peep from inside, and so after a minute, she pushed the door open and walked right in .

Lu Jinnian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window . He stared at the city lights outside, about to light up a cigarette . In that moment, he had shed the intense and rude aura he’d possessed in the meeting room . All that was left was his usual aura of cold and pride .

He clearly knew that someone had entered the office but didn’t react in the slightest .

Song Xiangsi put her coffee to one side of the table . With her high heels, she walked over to Lu Jinnian’s side . She traced his eyes towards the night sky in front of them for a while before saying, “That billion yuan investment . . . You thought of a plan on how to get it yet?”
