The only person I like is Shen Liangchuan.
To Lu Nanze, nothing could give him a bigger heartache than these words.
He narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
After a pause, he let out a chilly laugh as he said in a helpless but pampering tone,
Qiao Lian, there you go, being stubborn again.

Qiao Lian felt that it was ridiculous of Lu Nanze to be behaving this way.


Did he not understand what she was saying?
He lowered his voice and said to her,
I, Lu Nanze, always get the woman I want.

Qiao Lian replied angrily,
Lu Nanze, this is Beijing! And this is a VIP ward! If you dare to use force or anything like that, a shout from me will bring the police! I don’t think you want to end up in jail?

With a smirk, Lu Nanze said,
So you’re concerned about my wellbeing?

Qiao Lian was speechless.
He continued,
Don’t worry. I’m not that uncouth.

When in Hengdian, there was one way of operating.
And in Beijing, there was a different way of operating.
However…
Lu Nanze suddenly said,
Do you know what Shen Liangchuan has sacrificed in giving up the male lead role?



Qiao Lian paused and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
What?


A penalty of 50 million.

Immediately, Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank.
For the last eight years, Best Actor Shen had just been that, an actor. He had started from scratch and got to where he was today in that time. His fixed assets were probably worth two hundred million, all together.
But he had had to pay 50 million as penalty to compensate the filming crew?
It was no wonder the moment he had returned to Beijing, he had been so busy that she hardly saw him around.
With a sudden shortfall of 50 million in the company, he had likely been busy with investment matters for the past few days.
But… he had never breathed a word about the sacrifice he had to make.
If Lu Nanze had not told her about it today, she would have never found out.
Suddenly, she was consumed by guilt. She clenched her fists tightly and glared at Lu Nanze.


He smiled, on the other hand, and reminded her,
Qiao Lian, if you continue to persist so obstinately, he will have nothing left!

These words caused her to go into a sudden panic.
Shen Liangchuan was just a famous actor. Even if he had money, how would he be a match for Lu Nanze?
She bit her lip and said,
Lu Nanze, don’t overstep the line!

Lu Nanze stared steadily at her. After a brief moment of silence, he said,
I’m at villa 9 in Linglong District. And I’ll be in Beijing, waiting for the day that you come around to look for me.

Having said this, Lu Nanze strode over to the door.
As he crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned back and said,
Tell Qiao Yi I’ve left, and let him know I’ll come and see him tomorrow.

The smile he had on his face seemed to hold some meaning behind. He continued,
In addition, I hope he recovers soon, but he should be careful and not get into any accidents.

Qiao Lian clenched her fists as she heard this.
The meaning behind those words was obvious to her. Besides Shen Liangchuan, he was using Qiao Yi to blackmail her.


–
By the time Qiao Lian walked out of the hospital, she felt as though she had been skinned.
As though she had been immersed in a pot of boiling water.
She gulped nervously and looked up at the hazy skies. After a pause, she took out her cell phone and dialed Shen Liangchuan’s number.
He picked up the call after two rings.
His voice was soothing as usual, it had a calming effect on her.
What’s up, Xiao Qiao?

Hearing his voice made her feel that she suddenly had courage again.
Lu Nanze is here.
