“I never thought that Han Zhuoli would actually make things difficult for me . I’ve never reaped earnings, but my dad and brother are the typical businessmen who focus on profits and rates of returns for investments . They’d rather give me money every month to spend lavishly than invest in me endlessly with no return in sight under these circumstances . ”
He Zhengbai sighed . “So I’m thinking that, if I can’t get anyone to invest soon, I’d have to consider acting . I’d bear it even if I was a minor character . It’s better than being a loafer and being scorned all day by my dad and brother, to be looked down upon and treated as a good for nothing .
“At least now, I have my own career and it’s something I specialized in . They can’t compete with me on this . Even if it’s difficult and I earn less, it’s still my job and I’m not an idler . So, no matter what, I’m never going back . I have to persist . ” He Zhengbai smiled bitterly . “Qi Qi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you . But now that they’re not even heping me, I…
“If I had money on hand, I’d help you without a moment’s hesitation,” He Zhengbai said sincerely .
Lu Qi lowered her eyes to conceal her thoughts .
She never expected that He Zhengbai’s position at home would be this bad .
Even if she married him in the future, she’d have nothing to gain .
She had no roles to play while He Zhengbai had no shows to direct .
His family clearly would not help him .
If she were to stay with He Zhengbai, what kind of a lousy life would she live?
They would not be poor exactly .
Both their families would not let them live poorly .
But with their unsuccessful careers, they’d be hanging their head low when they’re out socializing .
When speaking of their husbands, hers would be a wealthy scion, true, but with a failing career, he’d also be living on his family’s wealth and be unable to help her one bit .
Look at Lu Man—how much did she gain because of Han Zhuoli?
All her achievements right now were given by Han Zhuoli .
Look how high she could hold her head .
Lu Qi was silent for a moment before raising her eyes to look at He Zhengbai . “I really didn’t know that your situation is so bad right now…”
Lu Qi acted so kind and understanding . “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have made this request to you . ”
“It’s okay, I just didn’t want you to worry . ” He Zhengbai smiled bitterly .
“Then I’ll think of other ways . I’ll also look out for you, see if there’re any ways to help you,” Lu Qi said .
He Zhengbai appeared moved, saying, “It’s more than enough that you can understand me . On the other hand, it’s me that’s useless, unable to help you . ”
Lu Qi thought so too .
She suddenly felt that it was meaningless having a tumble with him just now .
Lu Qi held down her unhappiness and pecked He Zhengbai on the lips .
He appeared more and more like an eye-sore now, the more she looked at He Zhengbai, this useless man .
Useless bum!
On the surface, though, Lu Qi smiled lovingly at him . She stood, saying, “Then I won’t bother you anymore . Go back to work . I’ll think of something . ”
He Zhengbai held Lu Qi’s hand . “Alright, I’ll see you out . ”
Lu Qi lifted her lips . Though he might be a bit useless, at least he knew how to protect her .
And, hence, under He Zhengbai’s protection, Lu Qi and he walked out of the office .
Since they did do it once, Lu Qi’s hair and clothes were visibly mussed .
Chen Yiming secretly bent and hid behind the desk partition, adjusted her phone to silent mode, and quickly snapped a few shots of the couple .
