Chapter 95 - Tread On A Worm And It Will Turn (1)

“Chen Meimei, it seems like my decision was a mistake!”

After Lan Jinyao had finished drinking the medicine, she heard Jiang Cheng say those words to her which in turn made her feel as if she was struck by lightning. She was brain-dead at the moment, staring at Jiang Cheng’s back as he walked into the distance.

“What was that?” she asked while tugging at Li Qi’s collar.

Li Qi heaved a long sigh as he explained, “What else could it be? That person must be disappointed in you. You said that he’d initially decided on Shen Wei’an, but then… Let’s assume that that person had been convinced by your acting skills and thus chose you, but then, things turn out like this instead. Say, in such a situation, do you still think that he would look at you in a good light?”

As he was talking, his tone grew all the more agitated, and it was to the point that he even brought up Lan Jinyao in front of her. “You know the artist who I used to lead in the past, Lan Jinyao? She’d never encountered this kind of situation at all, but, even if she had, she would’ve done her utmost to turn the tables. Although she normally appeared weak and gentle, she was a very tough woman beneath the surface!”

“Do you reminiscence the past a lot?” Lan Jinyao suddenly asked, her expression somewhat perplexed.

Li Qi didn’t even think before he replied, “Of course, the past is for reminiscing. Ah, I don’t mean it that way. I just think that you shouldn’t give up like this. This is an opportunity that you’ve fought very hard for. I think you should go over and fight for it one more time.”

In the end, he added, “Of course, the precondition is that you have to overcome your own mental hurdle first. However, the issue about your diarrhoea is relatively more serious at the moment.”

Lan Jinyao subconsciously rubbed her stomach and frowned as she asked, “How could this be? Somebody must’ve drugged me, right? Also, why would Lan Xin especially come all this way to bring me medicine? Could it be that she knows something?”

Li Qi shrugged in response to her consecutive questions. “You have to ask her that yourself; how would I know?”

However, as someone had drugged her, then this matter was more severe than expected. It was known that artists must have the appropriate tricks up their sleeves in order to survive in this industry, but if their methods were meant for harming others, then it wouldn’t matter even if they fell from grace.

When Lan Jinyao went to find Lan Xin, Li Qi secretly gave Fu Bainian a call.

“President Fu, nothing serious has happened...it’s just that, someone slipped laxatives in Meimei’s drink. Luckily the situation has already been alleviated!”

Soon after that, Li Qi heard the man’s cold voice on the phone. “You’re telling me that being drugged is not considered a big deal? What if it wasn’t laxative but poison or a drug that causes an allergic reaction instead?”

Li Qi was scolded speechless by Fu Bainian, and he couldn’t help but silently think: Were things really as grave as President Fu imagined?

He suddenly felt that making this call was a complete mistake.

“Who drugged Meimei?”

“This...we don’t know yet, but we’ve already checked if it was an artist from our company.”

“In that case, you don’t have to worry about this anymore. Stay close and take care of Meimei; I’ll send someone else to proceed with the investigation.”

“Okay, I’ll closely follow Meimei.”

After hanging up, Li Qi breathed a long sigh of relief. In the future, he ought to do this kind of thing less often.

...

As night fell, Lan Jinyao was the only one left standing in front of the Glass Bridge. Behind her was a large plain, but in front of her, apart from a platform made of glass, there was only the bottomless abyss that could make one’s body numb just by staring at it.

Lan Jinyao was currently trying to overcome her fear, so she worked hard to not think of the abyss below her feet by looking ahead and trying to move forward step by step. Li Qi was right; even if she were able to convince Jiang Cheng to give her another chance, it would be useless if she wasn’t able to overcome her fear.
