Chapter 558 - if a fish just wont catch the bait, why not try another? (1/2)

Small Xixi's mood gradually dampened, making one wonder what had happened in the span of a few seconds.

”What's wrong?” Xu Tang was fast to notice.

”Nothing. It's just... my brithday is coming up soon.”

Xu Tang rubbed her head. ”It's good to grow up.”

”You know that's not what I mean.”

”I know.”

The next time Lu Meili and Xu Tang met, a few more days had passed.

This was because Lu Meili was spending practically all her time in HL Entertainment's studios, reading her scenes and trying to act them out.

Filming for 'Dancer of the year' had already begun but due to the intensity of the female lead's scenes, the director had decided to film all the scenes that didn't need the female lead first, to give Lu Meili time to get into character.

She spent so much time dancing and became so scarce that Xu Tang couldn't see her no matter how hard he tried.

Though he didn't stop to ask himself why he wanted to see her so much.

As soon as she seemed to have taken a break, she went to find her.

However, the girl didn't have time for him. ”I'm sorry. I have a lot of work to do today. Maybe some other day.”

Xu Tang didn't think too much into it. Sometimes, he would be too busy to eat. He totally understood her when she said that she didn't have time for him today.

She had not even spared him a glance.

...

This was the scene Lin Lihua witnessed when she entered Lu Meili's dance studio.

She crossed paths with Xu Tang who was on his way out.

”You have given up on him?” She asked the young woman whose gaze was fixed on the door.

”Yes. It's best to move on. Daddy already arranged a blind date for me.”

Lin Lihua shrugged. ”Well, what can I say? Youngsters these days give up faster when it comes to love.”

Lu Meili's face flushed a little. She coughed. ”Well, that coming from you is quite... strange... don't you think?” Was there anyone who had given up in love faster than Lin Lihua had? She literally didn't budge no matter how she had been coaxed and still asked for a divorce anyway.

Lin Lihua wasn't angry with her for voicing her opinion. ”You think I'm an evil woman, don't you?”

Lu Meili glanced at her. She was being asked a question, so don't blame her for being too truthful. ”If you are talking about how you have been treating Sis Katy despite her attempts to make it up to you, then I honestly find you evil.”

Lin Lihua smiled. The kind of smile that Lu Meili couldn't understand. ”I know. Henry thinks so too.

But no one cares to ask why I hate her so much.

I'm the senior here and I should be more patient with you kids... but I'm human. I'll bleed and hurt if you stab me.”

”What did she do?” Lu Meili held her forehead. ”Right. I get it. I found fault in you before asking so it doesn't matter anymore.”
