Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
Eric was going to starr in ‘Purgatory’.
Lisa and Lin Qian were also shocked by this news. They had all expected Emma to take the role. But in the end, the result turned out this way. Was Eric planning to pursue this path from now on?
No, he wasn’t!
Emma gave instructions at Superstar Media to focus on Luo Sheng’s recovery and told Lisa to take good care of him. As for Lin Qian, Xia Hanmo was about to return and she needed someone by her side. Emma also told the two women that if they discovered any new artists, they should hold off signing them and give them help and support instead.
“Are you focusing on behind-the-scenes work from now on?” Lisa asked.
“Yes, I’m going to place all my focus on that,” Emma nodded.
“Good. Although I don’t understand it, I support your every decision.”
“Me too,” Lin Qian raised her hand.
Seeing Lin Qian’s delayed reaction, Lisa couldn’t help but laugh, “I heard from Xing Lan that ‘someone’ has been going on blind dates…”
“It was to help the police with their investigation,” Lin Qian rolled her eyes.
“Did the investigation involve going to someone’s house and helping them with their cleaning and cooking?”
“I don’t know how to explain myself,” Lin Qian wanted to cry; her innocence had been completely ruined by Xing Lan’s big mouth. That’s why one should not make friends recklessly.
“I heard that the man is from the military. They are usually good in ‘that aspect’.”
Lin Qian’s face burned red, “Lisa! You’re too dirty minded!”
The three women continued to chat in the office until Eric arrived downstairs in his car. As soon as Lisa spotted him, she was a little surprised, “Boss specifically came to pick you up?”
“Isn’t this something that he does often? What’s so strange about it?”
“The strange thing is the time,” Lisa replied as she shook her head.
Emma smiled without giving an explanation as she left the office holding her handbag. Lisa was a little confused as she looked at Lin Qian questioningly, “Isn’t she a bit abnormal?”
Lin Qian glared at her and stood up with her handbag. She didn’t want to talk to this dirty-minded woman.
But, when Lin Qian reached downstairs, she spotted Li Jin’s tall and built figure waiting for her.
“How did you find this place?”
“I drove you here last time,” Li Jin replied with his usual coldness. He practically had no exp**ssion. “Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” Lin Qian asked. This time, she wasn’t about to let him randomly abduct her.
“To eat.”
“I need to go home,” Lin Qian said before she headed towards the other exit. But, Li Jin pulled her towards him and pushed her into his car, “I don’t like it when people disobey my orders.”
“I’m not your subordinate and I’m not that familiar with you, Mr. Li,” Lin Qian yelled angrily.
“But, you knew I was the person that you were supposed to be match made with, yet you didn’t avoid me. Doesn’t that mean you wanted to take things further? Did I make a mistake?” Li Jin asked straightforwardly.
Lin Qian froze as her face turned even more red, “That’s all a misunderstanding.”
“I’ve been analyzing you. I don’t think my feelings are one-sided.”
“I feel like you have the wrong imp**ssion of me. I’m not the kind of woman that enjoys ambiguity,” Lin Qian cut in.
Li Jin calmed down. As he drove, he peered out the car window. After Lin Qian regained her composure, Li Jin finally said, “I haven’t had much time to pursue women.”
Hearing this, Lin Qian was a little surprised as a look of helplessness appeared bet**en her furrowed brows, “You are a hero in most people’s eyes. But, all women are petty. It’s not easy to be forgiving.”
“I will try my best to find time to understand you.”
Li Jin’s words were obviously cold, but for some reason, Lin Qian actually felt a sense of warmth.
“I’m the type of person that accepts reason, not force. Don’t do things that I hate,” Lin Qian warned.
“So, are you saying that you don’t hate me at the moment?”
Lin Qian lowered her head without a word. She was going to go with the flow. After all, Li Jin was busy and probably wouldn’t have time to appear in front of her anyway, so this wasn’t such a bad thing.
“My heart is hard to get through. If you are in a rush to get married or if you expect me to be all over you like other women, I won’t be able to do that.”
Lin Qian did not look at Li Jin and Li Jin did not reply. The car remained silent until the two of them pulled up at the restaurant, “You are indeed what I expected. I hate women that are annoying, and you are not annoying at all!”
This man was so straightforward. He even treated the relationship bet**en a man and a woman like it was some kind of national mission. Was he really that patriotic?
“So, give me an answer. Do you want to continue moving forward?”
Lin Qian did not give an immediate response as she opened the car door, stepped out and walked ahead. The two entered the restaurant one after the other. Only after sitting down did she finally reply, “Give me some time. After all, we only met a few days ago.”
“OK. But don’t take too long.”
Lin Qian didn’t like men like Quan Ziye, who gave off an evil vibe and were filled with instability, but…she probably didn’t like someone like Li Jin either, who wasn’t flexible with his decisions and was strict with everything he did, right?
He was too cold and domineering.
The two ended up having a very quiet meal. Lin Qian was originally a little awkward around Li Jin, but Li Jin said to her in an extremely natural manner, “Just be yourself. Nothing is taboo around me.”
With these words, Lin Qian immediately relaxed.
But, a moment later, she received a phone call from Xing Lan, “Lin Qian, hurry home. There’s a lawyer here for you…”
“Lawyer?” Lin Qian furrowed her brows. “I don’t know any lawyers.”
“It appears to be related to the Quan Family.”
Lin Qian was a little surprised, but she ended up nodding her head, “I’ll be back very soon.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you home,” Li Jin heard what Lin Qian said and immediately stood up.
It didn’t take long before Li Jin delivered Lin Qian back to Xing Lan’s home. Originally, he wanted to say he’d see her later, but Lin Qian rushed into the apartment without looking back before he could even say a word.
This girl was quite cool.
…
“Miss Lin, how are you? I am Mrs. Quan’s lawyer, Yang Bi.”
Lin Qian stepped into the living room and politely shook the lawyers hands, “Speak, what does Mrs. Quan want?”
“These are your expenses over the years that you spent in the Quan Family. Mrs. Quan wants you to pay it all back. After all, you are in the entertainment industry now and this amount isn’t much to you…”
“Interesting,” Xing Lan was disgusted by what she heard. “This is the first time I’ve heard of adoptive parents forcing their children to pay them back.”
“Over the years, the Quan Family have provided you with a stress-free life filled with sufficient food and shelter, yet you ungratefully hurt their only son. That’s why Mrs. Quan has decided to do this.”
“Let me have a look,” Lin Qian received the list of expenses and quickly ran her eyes across it. “$30 million? That’s enough to support ten of me!”
“If Miss Lin has any questions about the amount, you are welcome to make an appeal. But, Mrs. Quan will continue to seek justice via the law,” the lawyer said arrogantly.
“This Quan Family is disgusting,” Xing Lan sneered.
“If I return this money, will the Quan Family and I go our separate ways from now on?” Lin Qian asked as she waved the list in her hands.
“In theory, yes.”
“You’re not that stupid to give them the money right? This is not a small amount. Where are you to find this money in such a short period of time?” Xing Lan asked worriedly.
“Mrs. Quan said she’d give you time to find the money. You have one week. I’m sure I’ve delivered my message loud and clear. I will now make my leave. Goodbye, Miss Lin.” After speaking, the lawyer left the apartment in an indifferent manner.
“This Quan Family is so strange. I’ve never seen parents that are so shameless.”
“This is what I owe the Quan Family. It’s only right for me to pay them back,” Lin Qian replied.
“I’m afraid, in your heart, the only person you owe is Quan Ziye.”
Lin Qian did not reply. She simply pulled out her bank card and went to check her account balance.
