216 SHE SHOT HERSELF (2/2)

Qi Han frowned. ”Why did she leave her child then?”

”I am not very sure because my stepmother does not like talking about it. From what I have gleaned, Hu Lei hated her mother from childhood. Maybe it was the influence of the father, but the animosity broke her mother's heart. In the end, she respected her wishes and left her.”

Qi Han had been holding Hu Lei in a special place in his heart as his saviour. In the past, he would have been reluctant to believe that his angel would be full of hate since childhood. However, he had been subjected to her sharp tongue during his party.

His heart felt discomfort as he remembered how she had been all soft like a harmless kitten while cuddling up to Zhong Feng. Moreover, she had laughed and danced with that curly haired man and even teased Shun and Wang Che.

But when she had looked at him, her eyes had held no warmth. It was almost as if she had ice knives in those eerie eyes. He did not dare delude himself that she had any positive feelings towards him. It seemed as if he could die, and she would merely step over her.

He felt conflicted, but he still felt that she was his perfect girl. He could only assume that there was a misunderstanding. In his mind, he had already built up the image of Hu Lei. He believed that she was not only strong in martial arts and intelligent as seen in her career as Little Ninja Cat. She was also a kind-hearted goddess.

He adored this unicorn he had imagined.

”Have they attempted to reconcile?” He asked with concern.

Murong Yue felt even angrier, but she had to swallow it down. ”Lu Liang has tried to reach out to Hu Lei, but it never seems to work. We even welcomed her to our home, but she was not willing to be close to anyone.”

The man was silent for a while before sighing. ”Thanks for your information. I will make sure that your help is not taken for granted.”

”It is not a problem. If you need to know something else, you can call me. Even though we are not close, our family is still connected to Hu Lei.” She responded with a smile.

How could she tell him that she did not want a good script or more resources but his heart? She regretted releasing the news about Hu Lei in an attempt to mooch off the popularity of her movie adaptation.

She had shot herself in the foot.
