chapter 31

“Young Madam, I’ll leave first to cook soup for Elder Lu. I’ll have to trouble you to stay here to take care of Young Master.”

Ji Qingqing nodded. “Aunty Pei, it’s okay. Don’t worry.”

“Ai…” Aunty Pei sighed and left.

The doctor left later than Aunty Pei because he was still checking on Lu Lixing’s condition. When the doctor was finally done, Ji Qingqing asked a few questions. The doctor’s answer was the same as before. His face showed helplessness and benevolence.

Ji Qingqing stopped at the doorway and looked across the room. Seeing that Lu Lixing was sleeping, she quietly left.

—

At 6PM, Ji Qingqing crept into Lu Lixing’s room. The doctor had said that Lu Lixing was weak and he needed to sleep to replenish his energy. So, Ji Qingqing didn’t come here to wake him up. She came here every hour to check if Lu Lixing was still breathing.

Just as she was about to get approach him, her phone rang.

Ji Qingqing hastily stepped out of the room. Closing the door half-shut, she answered the call.

“Is this Ji Qingqing?” It was a man’s voice.

Ji Qingqing lower her voice, “That’s me. May I ask who you are?”

“My name is Qin Yue. I work for Tianyu Entertainment as an agent. I’ll be your agent going forward.”

“My agent?” Ji Qingqing furrowed her brow in confusion. “What’s going on? Isn’t Meng Xun my agent?”

Qin Yue concisely answered, “This was decided by the company’s upper management. Also, you still have your previously signed endorsements. I’ll inform you once the scheduling is finalized.”

“Endorsements? Wait a minute. Because of that incident with Shen Weiwei, didn’t I…”

“The company has already clearly investigate the matter that happened with Shen Weiwei a month ago. There’s a video that clearly shows Shen Weiwei fell down from her own carelessness. Her fall had nothing to do with you.”

Qin Yue’s voice was indifferently cold. His impersonal and businesslike attitude could be considered impolite.

However, Ji Qingqing didn’t mind. Her entire focus was on the content of Qin Yue’s words. “Video? So this means I’m innocent? I don’t need to pay her or go to jail?”

“You don’t. The company has already issued a clarifying statement on Weibo. You can go look at it.”

Ji Qingqing let out a long sigh of relief. She smiled and said, “Okay. Thank you Brother Qin. I hope we’ll have a happy cooperation in the future!”

“Happy cooperation.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ji Qingqing, who was free of a 20 million yuan debt and was no longer at risk for going to jail, immediately felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her body.

Holding her phone, she was excited. She wanted to run a few laps to calm down.

The truth had been finally found out. She was innocent now and could hold her head high with justice on her side!

Ji Qingqing guessed that Elder Lu was behind this. Although he had done this because of the agreement between them, it didn’t stop her from sighing and thinking that Elder Lu was truly a kind elder.

As for Ji Qingqing’s previous agent, Meng Xun, it was impossible for her to recall her fondly. After all, Meng Xun was wholeheartedly focused on Shen Weiwei. Even if she remained with Meng Xun as her agent, she probably wouldn’t get any help from her. Based on the degree of loathing that Meng Xun felt for the novel’s Ji Qingqing, she might even try to suppress her.

With joy in her heart, Ji Qingqing walked back to Lu Lixing’s bed. Out of mere routine, she brought her index finger to below Lu Lixing’s nose to check.

Lu Lixing suddenly opened his eyes. Their eyes met. Startled, Ji Qingqing jumped.

Lu Lixing’s nap had lasted until 6PM. He had slept for at least ten hours.

Other than when he had been in a coma after his car accident, he had never slept for so long. The exhaustion from staying up all night had been swept away. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Qingqing standing outside the door and having a quiet phone conversation. Just as he was about to keep his eyes closed for a bit, Ji Qingqing came into the room and stretched her hand out.
