Chapter 618 Am I The Ugliest
At a variety show set in Pearl City, Zheng Lunlun sat down during his break. Immediately, his assistant walked over and said that he had a delivery. Huh? I’m filming a show here. Did someone actually send a delivery to this address?
The arrangements for the variety show had been settled the year before, so no one could have recently found out where he was. Who knows about my schedule that was determined the previous year and even sent a delivery here?
The delivery was an envelope. When he picked it up, it was very light and did not seem to contain anything particularly heavy.
The envelope contained a letter. Once Zheng Lunlun finished reading the contents, the look on his face changed. “What’s wrong?” The assistant noticed the strange expression on Zheng Lunlun’s face.
“Nothing. My friend’s sick and hospitalized, so I need to visit him,” replied Zheng Lunlun. “Right now? The show’s not done with the filming yet,” reminded the assistant.
“I must leave now. Please explain it to the director. I’ll compensate for any losses.” Since Zheng Lunlun was a top celebrity, he could do whatever he wanted without much concern.
After leaving the filming set, he got into his car and drove away quickly. The car zoomed rapidly along the road and reached Flower City before dusk.
After parking his sports car and hailing a cab, he headed to the vicinity of the Commoner Residence.
Night had just fallen. However, Zheng Lunlun did not dare to enter from the front gate. Instead, he went to the wall at the back of the Commoner Residence and climbed over it.
Since the Commoner Residence was filled with surveillance cameras, Zheng Lunlun got caught by the bodyguards the moment he landed.
“It’s me. Don’t make a ruckus.” Zheng Lunlun took off his hoodie and cap. “Young Master Lun, why did you climb over the wall instead of going through the front gate?” exclaimed the bodyguard in shock.
“I want to meet my great-grandpa. Also, you must not tell anyone that I returned. You hear me?”
“Got it.” When Zheng Lunlun entered, Nan Zhengde was just preparing to eat. “Lunlun? Why are you here? Aren’t you at Pearl City?”
“Yeah, Great-grandpa. I rushed over after receiving a letter from Uncle Chen, who asked me to pass it on to you personally. I’m not even allowed to call anyone because I have to hand it to you myself.”
Nan Zhengde’s eyes lit up as he interrupted, “Are you hungry?”
“To be honest, I’ve been rushing here the whole time, so I’m hungry.”
“Bring a few dishes to the study room, and don’t let anyone enter,” instructed Nan Zhengde.
“Okay.”
“Also, no one is allowed to mention to any outsiders that Lunlun has returned.”
“Understood.”
Upon entering the study room, Zheng Lunlun took out the letter and passed it to Nan Zhengde.
The latter let out a sigh after reading it.
“Is Nan Chen all right? What did he say?” asked Feng Wan anxiously, unable to hold herself back anymore.
“Nan Chen got into a car accident and is stuck on an island in the middle of the reservoir. His leg is injured, but it isn’t serious…” Nan Zhengde explained to Feng Wan what happened to Nan Chen.
“What should we do now?”
“There’s a bank account written in the letter. He told us to transfer a hundred thousand to that account. Instruct someone to do it immediately. We must secure that person first. If I’m not wrong, he’s looking over Nan Chen and probably sent the letter on his behalf,” analyzed Nan Zhengde.
“I’d already transferred the money on my phone when I was coming here. He has probably received it already,” replied Zheng Lunlun.
“Very good. Nan Chen definitely promised that man. He’ll trust Nan Chen even more after receiving the money and will continue helping Nan Chen,” said Nan Zhengde.
“We should gather our men and save Nan Chen quickly! We can’t possibly let him continue to be trapped there.” Feng Wan was panicking.
“We mustn’t rush into things. I’ll get Chai Hua to go there personally and communicate with the person who gave the bank account privately.”
Since he has given his bank account number and name, it won’t be difficult to track him down. We’ll contact him privately first and figure out what exactly is going on. There won’t be many outsiders going to the countryside. If we don’t act carefully, those people will find out. Once that happens, I’m afraid that they would just kill him to silence him.” A solemn look appeared on Nan Zhengde’s face.
“Let’s do that, then. Ask Chai Hua to go there quickly. We must save Chen!” urged Feng Wan.
The sky was already dark at Livingsfill, and it was time for dinner.
Hence, Lu Yunxue suggested to go home first.
Naturally, Erbao tried to keep her there. “Eat with us! We’ve got a lot of people, so it’ll be lively!”
Evidently, Lu Yunxue wanted to. She whispered beside Erbao’s ears, “I’m afraid that they won’t want me to eat here.”
“It’s fine. Aunt Xiang will agree. I’ll speak to her!”
Erbao ran over. “Aunt Xiang, Lu Yunxue wants to stay for dinner. Can she stay?”
When Lu Yunxue heard his words, she quickly corrected, “Sihan wants me to stay for dinner, but I’m still thinking about it. I should go home and eat with my mommy.”
“It’s fine, Yunxue. You should just stay here and eat. I’ll ask someone to send you home afterward,” offered Cheng Xiangyun with a smile.
“Really? Are you agreeing to let me eat here, Ms. Xiang?”
Lu Yunxue knew how to flatter someone well. While she called Xiangyun ‘Ma’am’ in the past, she was calling Xiangyun ‘Ms. Xiang’ in the present moment. It made Xiangyun sound younger and closer to Lu Yunxue.
“Of course! Since you’re Erbao’s friend, we’ll naturally welcome you.”
“After dinner, can I play for a while before going back?” requested Lu Yunxue.
“Sure, as long as it isn’t too late. Otherwise, your mommy will be worried.”
Qiao Zhan entered when she was speaking. “Your mom is here to pick you up, Yunxue.”
However, Lu Yunxue spun around and ran. “Say that I’m not here!”
“No way! You’re right here, so how can I say that you’re not? Why don’t I tell her that you’ll return after eating?” asked Qiao Zhan.
Lu Yunxue sighed. “You don’t know my mom well. If she wants me to return, I have to. Forget it. I’m going.”
Cheng Xiangyun could not bear to see how dejected she was and followed her out.
Standing at the entrance, Lu Jingyuan nodded at Cheng Xiangyun. “Hello! Sorry that my child disturbed you. I’m here to pick her up.”
Under the streetlight, her hair cascaded down her shoulders smoothly. With fair skin and a curvaceous body, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Every woman I meet just keeps getting prettier! Why am I always the ugliest? Cheng Xiangyun lamented.
“It’s fine. Your daughter is really cute and gets along well with Erbao. They’re already very good friends. I’d like her to stay for dinner, so I hope that you’ll agree,” said Cheng Xiangyun.
“It’s fine, thank you,” refused Lu Jingyuan directly.
Lu Yunxue raised her head helplessly and glanced at Cheng Xiangyun. See? I told you that my mom’s very old school.
“Why not? Are you worried that our food isn’t hygienic or…”
“It’s not that. She has been disturbing you for a long time, so I can’t keep letting her have her way. Xue, come here.” Lu Jingyuan beckoned at Lu Yunxue.
Even though Lu Yunxue looked extremely reluctant, she still walked over obediently.
“Wait! Ms. Lu, let her eat with me. It’s already so sad that I’m sick. If she can keep me company, I’ll be in a better mood and eat more.” Erbao ran toward them.
