Chapter 562: Of Course What?

They all gained something from the success of the drama; Su Muran’s acting skills gained recognition, and Yan Huan, being Yan Huan, simply skyrocketed further. More and more people knew her by now, and more doors had opened up for her. Plus, she had already established her own company and was investing in her own films. Still, no one knew whether those were good. Who knows, maybe it’ll flop and set a new record for lowest viewership.

And how Su Muran wished that would happen. If that did happen, she would personally set off some firecrackers in celebration.

There had been other happenings in the entertainment industry too, like Lu Qin terminating his contract with his previous entertainment company and hopping to Su Muran’s. He was doing variety shows all day long, trying very hard to make himself recognizable. Reality shows, parodies…he did them all, and it did increase his popularity by a good deal. Moreover, he had acted in a number of good films in the past, so his popularity wasn’t exactly low in the first place.

However, if he had any idea of what he achieved in his previous life, he would realize that the amount of success he received in his current life wasn’t even a tenth of his previous.

Su Muran actually had a good impression of Lu Qin. Most importantly, he was a member of the Lu Family. Even though she disliked Yan Huan, she had to admit that the Lu Family was powerful.

“You have been getting along well with Lu Qin, or so I’ve heard,” probed Su Qingdong.

“Yup,” said Su Muran, coiling and straightening her hair back and forth with a finger. Her lips curved enigmatically.

Su Qingdong pondered. There was no fault he could find in the Lu Family, but Lu Qin as an individual…

The son-in-law candidate Su Qingdong initially had in mind was Lu Yi, since he was just that good, but certains things that happened in the past had sealed their fate as enemies.

He tried rob the Ye Family of their right to build the airport, for one. He didn’t succeed in that, but one thing he did succeed in was falling out with the Ye Family. And the Ye Family was Lu Yi’s maternal relatives.

There was also Lu Qin’s low birth, him only having a mother, and his awkward position in the Lu Family. Even so, a skinny camel was still bigger than any horse.

He was a member of the Lu Family, and that couldn’t be changed.

“A pity,” sighed Su Qingdong.

“A pity?” asked Su Muran, unsure of why her father suddenly sighed. Had he made her come just to hear him wallow in misery?

“I’m talking about Lu Qin,” said Su Qingdong, leaning back against his chair. “He would be in a much better spot had Lu Jing been alive. Now, no matter what he does, he would always be below Lu Yi.”

Su Muran’s eyes narrowed, a malicious look flitting across.

“I would like to see how long Lu Yi can have his way in the Lu Family.”

There’s something strange about her, Su Qingdong realized.

“Ranran, I’ve always allowed you to do whatever you want since your grandfather and I can clean up your messes, but I want you to understand that we aren’t invincible. There are some things that even we cannot do.”

“I want you to stay away from Yan Huan, as far away as possible, and stop getting at her at every chance you get. Have you not suffered enough humiliation from her?”

The word humiliation made Su Muran darken.

She was Su Muran, the esteemed lady of the Su Family. Since young, every path she set foot upon were smooth and comfortable. That was until Yan Huan tripped her.

That was something she couldn’t stomach.

“I’m going back, Dad,” she said, rising. She maintained a smile when she was facing Su Qingdong, but her face clouded over the moment she turned away. Flames of vengeance burned brightly in her eyes.

“Can I help you?” asked Lu Qin, gently swirling the cup in his hand before holding it up to one eye. His other eye was fixed upon Su Muran. A bonafide beauty, he thought.

But the eye behind the glass hid a twisted look.

Su Muran looked up and smiled.

“I was wondering… are you not on good terms with your brother?”

“And how does that concern you?” asked Lu Qin, swirling the cup slowly. He wasn’t dumb; he had a good guess of what Su Muran had in mind, and his guesses were rarely off.

“Have you ever thought about becoming the head of the Lu Family?” suggested Su Muran, still smiling. Even her brows seemed to be smiling, but there was something pressurizing about her smiles.

“It’s not in my position to have such thoughts,” said Lu Qin, lifting the cup to his lips that were smiling with a hint of sarcasm. Still, it’s worth mentioning that he was indeed very handsome, a good deal more comely than Lu Yi. Otherwise, Qin Xiaoyue wouldn’t have been so proud of him either. She was the one who gave Lu Qin his good looks.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t very lucky this life, and remained as a C-list actor. It would be a different matter, of course, if someone could give him a boost… He might even reach a position that normal people cannot even imagine to attain.

Su Muran set down her cup and tilted forward. Her ample bosoms nearly touched Lu Qin’s fingers. Then, she spoke, her breath fragrant like an orchid.

“And what if I tell you I can help you achieve that?”

Lu Qin’s eyes twinkled. He set the cup down, reached out, and pulled Su Muran closer by her waist.

His sexy lips closed up to Su Muran’s ears, his hot breath scorching Su Muran’s skin and giving her goosebumps. Her heart began beating faster.

Lu Qin’s breath touched her steadily.

“If you help me, then…” he drew closer. “I will give my all to you, including myself and the Lu Family… and of course…” he lowered his voice to a bone-melting whisper. It was enough to make Su Muran jolt, as if she had been electrified.

Of course?

Of course what?

“Your enemy will also be my enemy.”

His burning lips was at the back of her ears, touching the soft spot—the most sensitive part of a woman—sensually. Lu Qin was a man who knew a lot about woman, just as he knew how to seduce them.

He had always kept a certain distance with Su Muran. Playing hard to get had been his game plan all along. Women love playing that game, but some men knew the rules too.

And boy, he was excellent at this game.

It’s easy for a woman to seduce a man, but it wasn’t hard for a man to seduce a woman either.
