chapter 180

What he saw outside the filming area, was it really the truth? If Ji Qingqing didn’t frame Weiwei intentionally, then…

No, impossible!

Weiwei had been together with him for four years. How can he not know what kind of person Weiwei was? On the contrary, Ji Qingqing had been arrogant and domineering, money-obsessed, and profit-seeking. How can one trust her words?

“You are still lying to me. You believed what Ji Qingqing said, right? Now you are doubting me as a devious woman, right?” Shen Weiwei smiled sadly as she gazed at him and sobbed. “Why have you never tried believing me? I’ve been through all these hardships with you for the past years. Why would I care if you have money or not?”

Lu Liting’s thoughts had been interrupted by her. “Weiwei, I told you. I didn’t mean that.”

Wiping away the tears out the corner of her eyes, Shen Weiwei said sternly, “Lu Liting, listen well. No matter if you are rich or poor, I will always love you as a person, not your family, or your status. I only love you. Do you hear me?”

Lu Liting’s heart thudded. Watching Shen Weiwei’s innocent-looking face, he couldn’t help but blame himself for trusting Ji Qingqing and doubting Weiwei for that split second.

“Weiwei, don’t worry. From now on, I won’t hide a single thing from you!”

Shen Weiwei watched his sincere face when he made his promise. She finally broke into laughter after a few seconds. “Then I will trust you one last time. Don’t lie to me again.”

“I am not lying. For my entire lifetime, I will never lie to you again.”

Shen Weiwei smiled and hugged Lu Liting as the joy in her eyes slowly dissipated.

In the resting area of the filming site, Lu Lixing sat on the deck chair that one of the workers had specially brought over for him. He calmly gazed at Ji Qingqing and said, “Say what you wish to say while I’m still here.”

Since Lu Lixing arrived at such perfect timing, Ji Qingqing decided to forgive him for his ridiculousness last night.

“Hubby, I almost got scared to death today.”

——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 532 hours.”

Lu Lixing gave her a meaningful look. “Scared you to death?”

His astute gaze always gave Ji Qingqing the false illusion that Lu Lixing had seen through her.

“Of course. You didn’t know just now…”

“Think carefully before you speak.”

The two of them stared at each other with their big eyes.

“…Fine, actually it went like this,” Ji Qingqing started explaining the story from start to end. “Shen Weiwei clearly had set me up, but I will not bear it! Since Lu Liting stood up for her, then I had to let him feel the taste of how it’s like to ‘try really hard to explain yourself but to no avail.’”

Upon finishing her words, she glanced over at Lu Lixing cautiously. “You know your brother. He… has some misunderstandings about me,” she said after much deliberation.

Lu Lixing smiled in an indiscernible manner. “Acting so arrogant and domineering, are you that certain that I will be on your side?”

“We are husband and wife. Who else would you support if you’re not going to be on my side? I can handle this by myself even if you didn’t come, okay? Also, how was I being arrogant and domineering? If no one provoked me, I won’t provoke them too. She bothered me first. I’m not taking the blame.”

Lu Lixing nodded. “Right, I shouldn’t be blaming you.”

Lu Lixing’s skill was so much better than Lu Liting when it came to bitch-identifying. She felt relieved that she wouldn’t need to worry about Lu Lixing getting implicated by any random woman attempting to sow discord. That trait of his made her glad.

“Why did you come today?”

“I came to tell you that something came up at the company and I have to immediately head there this afternoon…”

Ji Qingqing wasn’t that surprised. In her heart, she even heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, this ancestor is leaving.

“You’re busy with work. That’s reasonable.”

“But you have to promise me something.”

“What?” Ji Qingqing looked at him as she sensed that something was amiss. She had a feeling that Lu Lixing would make ridiculous demands again.

“Video call with me every day. No less than five hours.”

Wen Rou happened to come by. The water in the cup she was holding almost spilled out as her hands suddenly trembled.

No less than five hours of video call every day?

President Lu was this controlling?
