Jiang Nanshu really had no appetite. She took one bite and then put it aside.
Lu Qingyan didn’t force her to finish her meal and drove her back to Hong Kong. It was already nine o’clock when they arrived.
They found the local food court and the clay pot rice restaurant. It wasn’t a high-end restaurant, but a crowded street market.
Jiang Nanshu ordered a few dishes, and the two of them chose a less crowded table.
When the food arrived, Jiang Nanshu placed a piece of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts on Lu Qingyan’s plate: “Try it.”
These were just home-cooked dishes, nothing compared to overly refined and luxurious dishes.
Their meal cost less than a hundred yuan.
Jiang Nanshu finally felt her appetite working, and without paying any attention to Lu Qingyan, she ate with great relish.
Lu Qingyan picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The taste was average, not bad.
“The film crew has stopped working for three days.”
Jiang Nanshu held up her phone and showed Lu Qingyan the messages from the film crew’s group chat.
Jiang Nanshu clicked on a photo; it was of Su Ran being taken away by the police.
“Why is your Bai Yueguang in jail?” Jiang Nanshu asked.
Lu Qingyan, holding his bowl, frowned slightly upon hearing this: “I don’t know. What is Bai Yueguang?”
“Bai Yueguang is someone you can’t forget, the one you love but can’t have.” Jiang Nanshu explained.
So, after all this time complaining about Su Ran being his Bai Yueguang, he still didn’t know?
“I don’t have Bai Yueguang. Do you?” Lu Qingyan asked back.
She met his eyes.
Jiang Nanshu replied with a smile, “I already have you. Why would I need Bai Yueguang? I’ll go ask someone else first to see what’s going on with Su Ran.”
After much inquiry, she concluded the problem.
“I just found out. After my sister woke up, she reported the case and explained the whole story. The investigation revealed that the three people who died were trying to kill her, but they all died in accidents. The police went to the Cenling Mountain area to collect evidence and found that what my sister said was true.”
“Following the investigation, they found Su Ran. She is now one of the suspects and is being investigated by the police.”
Jiang Nanshu looked at Lu Qingyan with a smile.
“Su Ran’s reign as the female lead is truly over.”
After such a catastrophic incident, Director Wen couldn’t possibly want her to continue playing the female lead role in this drama.
Even if an actress with a tainted reputation is wrongly accused, it’s difficult to clear her name.
If nothing unexpected happens, Su Ran’s entertainment career pretty much ends here.
Lu Qingyan glanced at her: “It has nothing to do with me.”
“Do you think she’ll go to jail?” Jiang Nanshu asked.
“No.” Lu Qingyan answered flatly.
Jiang Nanshu looked at him in surprise: “How can you be so sure?”
Lu Qingyan chuckled softly. “Zhou Yanbai in Hong Kong hasn’t fallen yet. If he doesn’t save her, Su Ran will bear some responsibility for this. If he wants to save her, she can come out unscathed, but her reputation will be completely ruined.”
What he said coincided with what Jiang Nanshu was thinking.
It was very likely that Zhou Yanbai would rescue Su Ran.
“When are you returning to Beijing?”
“I’ll go back with you.”
Jiang Nanshu heard his phone call.
There was really nothing for Lu Qingyan to do here.
“About your company…” She had heard Grandpa Lu calling him repeatedly. It must be a company issue.
“It’s been resolved.”
After saying that, Lu Qingyan changed the subject: “Let’s go back after we finish eating.”
Seeing that he insisted on staying in Hong Kong, Jiang Nanshu didn’t bother to persuade him anymore.
Lu Qingyan was afraid that Jiang Nanshu would return to the temple to look for Zhou Yanxu.
If Jiang Nanshu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely tell him that he was overthinking it.
Zhou Yanxu had made it clear. There wouldn’t be a third time. Jiang Nanshu wouldn’t shamelessly go back again.
He refused both times.
There wouldn’t be a third time.
