Lu Nanze paused at her words . “What do you mean?”
Pointing to Qiao Yiyi, Qiao Lian gave a cold laugh and said, “She slapped my right cheek . Are you here to slap my left cheek?”
Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank as his expression turned sharp and piercing .
He looked at her face and pursed his lips for a moment before he asked, “You’re saying… that she hit you?”
Smiling sarcastically, Qiao Lian said, “You’re here to get even for her, so don’t pretend you don’t know anything . ”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes .
He took a sudden step forward and reached out to grab her wrist . “Qiao Lian, I’m here to look for you . ”
Look for her?
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank .
Then, Lu Nanze turned around and looked at Qiao Yiyi .
Startled, Qiao Yiyi widened her eyes and gulped fearfully . “Second Brother, don’t listen to her nonsense . I- I-”
Lu Nanze took a step forward and pressed up against her with a cold and menacing smile . “I’ll just ask you one question . Did you hit her?”
Qiao Yiyi wanted to shake her head and deny her deed, however, staring at his icy expression, the words would not come .
She finally opened her mouth to speak, “Yes, but it was because she- she provoked me first—”
Crack!
Before she could finish what she was saying, the slap came down mercilessly .
How could one compare a man’s strength with a woman’s?
Qiao Yiyi stumbled a few steps back from the impact before she regained her balance .
But that side of her face had turned numb .
Biting her lip, she called out, “Second Brother…”
But she hung her head when her gaze met with his ambiguous half-smile .
After hitting Qiao Yiyi, Lu Nanze turned back to Qiao Lian and said, “Now, can we talk normally?”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank .
From a young age, Second Brother had been a cruel person .
After all these years, his vicious streak was still very much the same .
Even though it was Qiao Yiyi who he had slapped, Qiao Lian could almost feel the pain just listening to it happen .
She gulped and took a step back . Then without saying another word, she turned around and started running away .
This man was too terrifying .
He was terrifying to the extent that she didn’t even wish to speak with him . She didn’t wish to get into conflict with him!
As soon as she started running, Lu Nanze took a few steps forward and it didn’t take much for him to catch her . “Qiao Lian, why do you run when you see me?”
Qiao Lian was so nervous that her teeth were chattering now .
She found herself trembling .
This man sent shivers down her spine .
She looked at Lu Nanze with trepidation . “I- I-”
But no words came .
Narrowing his eyes, Lu Nanze glanced at the traditional costume she was wearing . “You like acting?”
Before she could answer, he continued, “I can make you the female lead in this film, it would only take a quick word from me . ”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yiyi turned and looked at them, shocked .
Qiao Lian taking over the female lead role?
Then what about her?
Qiao Yiyi clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip .
Qiao Lian, however, wanted to push him away . She struggled with all her might to try and break free of his grip . “Let me go, Lu Nanze, let me go!”
“Come with me . ”
She jumped in fright when she heard his words .
Before she could utter another word, a large hand suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up . Then, Lu Nanze strode away!
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank in fear as a sense of hopelessness began to overtake her .
At this critical point, she desperately called out, “Zi Chuan! Help!”
Her sharp and crystal clear voice rang through the set and fell on Shen Liangchuan’s ears .
