In which the System Torments the Protagonists: My Wife is My Life! - Chapter 58

Chapter 58 – Lu Lixing, a single dog for 30 years, totally fails at understanding double meanings (3)

Aunty Pei quickly handed a napkin to Ji Qingqing and gestured with her eyes for Lu Lixing to pat Ji Qingqing’s back.

Lu Lixing could only raise his hand and gently pat Ji Qingqing’s back. “Are you feeling better?”

After fiercely coughing a few times, Ji Qingqing finally felt her breath easing. Sighing in relief, she said, “Much better.”

After saying this, she glared at Lu Lixing. Was there anyone that showed romantic affection that way? She almost choked to death!

“Alright, let’s eat.” Elder Lu glanced at his grandson. “So graceless.”

Gratified and hopeful, Aunty Pei smiled at Ji Qingqing. As she looked at Ji Qingqing, who was sitting next to Lu Lixing, she inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.

“Young Madam, I sorted out Young Master’s room for you. A woman probably has a lot of clothes, so I set aside more space for you in the closet. Once I move out the rest of Young Master’s unnecessary things, there’ll be space for a dressing room for you.”

“Thank you, Aunty Pei.”

“You’re welcome.”

“But, I think Young Master’s current bed is too narrow for two people. Wait a few days, and I’ll have someone deliver a bigger bed. You and Young Master will have to make do tonight.”

After saying that, Aunty Pei started to discuss with Elder Lu, “Elder Lu, the villa feels a bit crowded now that there’s another person. How about we clean out the villa in Bishu Bay?”

Elder Lu thought it over. “It doesn’t make a difference if you do it now or later. It’ll have to be done eventually. You can go do it.”

“Alright then, I’ll go do it tomorrow.”

Ji Qingqing lowered her head to look at her 45 kilogram self. Too crowded? It wasn’t too crowded, right?

After lunch was over, Ji Qingqing went to the guest room to pack up her personal belongings. She didn’t actually have many personal items here. She had come to the Lu’s in a rush, so most of her belongings were still in her downtown apartment. When she had time, she had to go back there.

Right after she finished packing up, her phone suddenly rang.

She took it out and saw that the caller was Qin Yue.

Ji Qingqing walked to the window and answered the call. “Brother Qin, why did you call me?”

Qin Yue didn’t seem to be in a good mood. His voice was gloomy and sounded quite aggrieved. “The higher ups in the company told me to pass on the message that they want you to withdraw your lawsuit against Shen Weiwei.”

“Higher ups? Which higher ups?”

“Tianyu Entertainment’s top level.”

At this time, Lu Lixing pushed open her door and walked inside.

Ji Qingqing saw Lu Lixing and smiled. What top level? Wasn’t Tianyu Entertainment’s highest level person standing in her room.

“Withdraw? Why should I withdraw?”

“It won’t be good for the company if this matter gets bigger. It was originally a misunderstanding. The higher ups at the company told me to tell you to forget this matter.”

“Forget it?” Ji Qingqing laughed. “Brother Shen, I don’t remember Shen Weiwei dropping this matter back then. Do you?”

“I think…” Before Qin Yue could finish speaking, it went quiet on his side.

Soon after, an arrogant and domineering voice sounded on the phone. “Ji Qingqing, if you’re willing to let off Shen Weiwei, the matter will end here, and I can give you two endorsement deals. But, if you don’t withdraw your case against Shen Weiwei, I’ll use all my contacts to blacklist you!”

“Blacklist me? Who are you?”

“Gu Shaoyu!”

Gu Shaoyu?

As it turned out, this arrogant and domineering voice belonged to Gu Shaoyu.

Ji Qingqing thought over that name and felt amused once she made the connection. She had a deep impression of this “ardent supporting male character”.
