Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 674 - 672: Unless I Let Him... Sleep...

No sooner had the words fallen than Lu Jinyang put a piece of pastry to his mouth, nodding with satisfaction, "Not bad."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qing’s first reaction was: He’s taking revenge.

"Don’t you..."

A ringtone interrupted her, Xiao Qing frowned and without a glance at the caller ID, she picked up the phone.

"Who is this?"

"Sister Qing, sob sob sob~"

Xiao Qing shook all over, "Li? What happened, why are you crying?"

"I... I’m about to lose my job, please come back, if you don’t return soon I’ll be fired."

Gu Li on the other end of the phone seemed to be holding back, and even through the phone Xiao Qing could hear her thick sniffling.

"What happened?"

"I... It’s not clear over the phone, but I..."

Xiao Qing cut her off, "Where are you now? I will come to you."

"You’re coming over?" Gu Li was clearly shocked, because she knew Xiao Qing wasn’t in Empire, and waiting for her to come over would mean several hours of waiting.

Anticipating her thoughts, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I’ve returned, currently at home. Send me the address to my phone, I’m leaving now."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for Gu Li to reply before hanging up the phone.

"What’s going on?" Lu Jinyang asked.

As Xiao Qing untied her apron she said, "Gu Li has encountered some trouble, I’m going over to take a look."

"Gu Li?" Lu Jinyang frowned, "Gu Chen’s woman; with Gu Chen looking after her, you should rest at home."

Xiao Qing ignored him, took her bag, walked to the hallway and started changing shoes, "Li is also my agent now, presumably because of my business, the company is going to fire her."

The company would fire her?

Before Lu Jinyang could get more details, the door was already closed.

The man took a bite of the pastry, a teasing smile crossing his fair, resolute face. It’s been a long time since he’d seen Gu Chen, and it seems his skills in chasing women have not only failed to improve, but have degraded into something crass.

"Jinchen, Xinyun, after you finish eating, Daddy will take you to visit Uncle Gu."

-

When Xiao Qing arrived at the rendezvous with Gu Li, Gu Li was already waiting there. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and as she saw her, those pitiful eyes eagerly watched her.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Xiao Qing sat down, worried as she looked at her. She had no idea what could have made her cry so hard.

She was in a hurry earlier and hadn’t thought of Gu Chen, but now that she did, something seemed off.

Gu Chen was around, so why didn’t Gu Li seek his help instead of crying on her own?

After hearing Xiao Qing speak, Gu Li sniffled, "It’s like this, a new person in charge arrived, I don’t know specifically what he manages, but he said, if you don’t return to filming soon, he’ll apply to the company to have us both fired, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless I let him... sleep with..." Her words trailed off as Gu Li’s tears started falling heavily again.

Hearing this, Xiao Qing was utterly furious, cursing, "Bastard!"

She knew how messy the industry could be; many performers climbed the ranks by using their bodies, so this wasn’t anything unusual. However, propositioning an agent, that was a first for her to hear.

Who gave him the audacity to utter such a thing? She did not doubt, if these words reached Gu Chen, that man’s fate would definitely not be a pleasant one.

"You didn’t tell Gu Chen?"

Upon hearing "Gu Chen", Gu Li first froze, then slowly shook her head, a suspect flush on her face.
