720 A Million Times for You 82 (2/2)

”Thank you, Tianze.”

”You don't have to thank me, we're close friends.”

Mo Li nodded at him with tears in her eyes.

A somber mood had filled the hearts of the Gu family members.

Laughter had become scarce, and everyone often appeared austere.

No one dared to touch An Xiaoning's belongings in her room, including her mobile phone, which had been left on the table. However, the battery in her mobile phone had run out since it had not been charged in days, and thus, it switched off automatically.

Lin Mingxi did not feel in the least bit happy, even though it meant that she no longer had a rival in love now that An Xiaoning was gone.

She was well aware that Gu Beicheng would never forget An Xiaoning regardless of whether she was dead or alive.

She had already gotten over it when An Xiaoning was still alive.

When Lin Mingxi first met An Xiaoning, she detested her straight away, for she saw the latter as her rival in love and a stumbling block in her hot pursuit for Jin Qingyan. She had resorted to all means to go toe-to-toe against An Xiaoning. Yet, An Xiaoning was still her rival in love even after she got married to Gu Beicheng.

She had even once gotten extremely jealous about the fact that Gu Beicheng had carried a torch for An Xiaoning.

However, she no longer felt jealousy or resentment toward An Xiaoning, and her initial disgruntlement had turned into envy. In fact, she even saw An Xiaoning as her close friend and confidante.

Sometimes, she would even think to herself that she was probably the only person in this world who could become bosom friends with the woman her husband loved.

It was indeed so. She had somehow taken a liking to the overweening, self-righteous, and obstinate An Xiaoning. She had even understood why Gu Beicheng loved her dearly throughout all these years.

She was green with envy, though there was no point in feeling that way.

Gu Beicheng did not even know her yet when he fell in love with An Xiaoning!

They weren't even married at that point in time. An Xiaoning had shown up in his life way before she did.

Before the mishap took place, An Xiaoning and Gu Beicheng were just like a pair of bosom friends and kin who shared a strong camaraderie. Despite how much he loved An Xiaoning deep down, he would often make sure to keep things platonic with her and get along well with her. Lin Mingxi could feel every bit of that.

Yet, now that An Xiaoning was no longer around, all Lin Mingxi felt was grief and agony, for she wished that the mishap did not occur at all.

They've invested more than 100 million dollars in total in the production of the television drama series.

An Xiaoning had long transferred her share of the money to their joint bank account, which was meant to be used to cover the filming expenses.

Now that An Xiaoning was no longer around, Lin Mingxi definitely had to monitor and oversee all the matters regarding the television drama series herself.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Mingxi arrived at the television studio by car.

The production team were in the midst of a productive filming session and were not affected by An Xiaoning's incident at all.

Dressed in a thick blue coat, a pair of thick leggings, and a pair of diamond-heeled boots, Lin Mingxi stood at a short distance away from the set and watched as the filming took place.

She decided to approach them after watching two scenes.

Upon the sight of her arrival, Jing Tian immediately put the script he was holding down onto the chair and greeted, ”You're here, Ms. Lin.”
