Chapter 219 Everyone’s Business

The manager came back into the room and said, "President Kang will be coming."

The man's demeanour had changed. Now he was a bit jittery, mostly when he looked at Lu AnLing. In the room, only Rong Xin and Lu AnLing could assume why.

Being Kang Jun, they knew he had either threatened the manager or told him about his and Lu AnLing's marriage.

Without further ado, the manager walked over to Lu AnLing and the four girls. He then bowed to Lu AnLing and then he turned to the for girls, "Now it's best that no one causes a scene before he arrives."

Seeing the man's action Gu Ning frowned. She and her two friends helped Zhao Fei to her feet and then she said, "Why are you looking at us? You should be looking at her!"

Kang Liang spoke this time. "It's obvious that the only one looking for a fight here is you."

Hearing his voice, the manager turned around and saw Kang Liang. The reason why the man recognized the boy was because he did his research on the Kang's he didn't want to ever risk offending any of them.

Looking at Kang Liang, the manager didn't say anything. Since he wasn't sporting his original hair, it seemed like Kang Liang didn't want to be noticed.

Due to Kang Liang, Gu Ning's face twisted in annoyance. "This is none of your business!"

This time Sheng spoke. "You made it everyone's business by involving yourself in a matter that didn't concern you!"

Gu Ning did not like the way she was being spoken to, but she didn't blame it on the guys. She blamed it all on Lu AnLing.

That vixen bitch had cast a spell on these men! At least, that was what Gu Ning believed.

She was getting so angry that it was becoming hard to contain herself.

Though truthfully, Lu AnLing wasn't worried about Gu Ning. Like Wang Tingting, all her thoughts were on Zhao Fei.

Lu AnLing and Wang Tingting knew Zhao Fei. If someone slapped her she would slap the person twice as hard but Zhao Fei did not make a move. She didn't even speak and her aura contained no negative emotions.

This was so strange that Wang Tingting couldn't help but shiver.

Wang Tingting then looked at Lu AnLing who was as calm as sloth and frowned. She elbowed Lu AnLing lightly and then said, "You know she's up to something."

Lu AnLing shrugged. She felt strange being so buddy-buddy with her bully.

But Wang Tingting did not see it as such. She would usually not concern herself with Lu AnLing's safety but since Wang Tingting had involved herself in the situation she had no choice but to be an unwilling ally to the girl. Wang Tingting had completely forgotten that she was supposed to get on her good side but that didn't matter right now. Zhao Fei always blinded the girl with rage and caused Wang Tingting to forget everything important.

Lu AnLing watched Wang Tingting for a minute deducing that, for Wang Tingting, Zhao Fei was like a ghost or a demon. She haunted Wang Tingting's life like no other...

Lu AnLing understood this feeling and for once she felt a small semblance of sympathy for her but this moment was quickly interrupted by a pull on her arm.

Turning around she saw Xiao Mian with an expression of dread. Lu AnLing felt her heart squeeze.

None of this was her fault but looking at Xiao Mian's painful expression, Lu AnLing couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Tell me, do you love Yize?" Xiao Mian asked.

"No." Lu AnLing said without waiting for a heartbeat.

"Then why are you..." Xiao Mian trailed off.

Lu AnLing frowned. "Why am I what? Dressed like this? Talking to him?"

Xiao Mian had no idea what to say because she herself wasn't sure what she wanted to ask. She wanted to know if Yang Yize loved Lu AnLing more than her but she was too afraid to ask Yang Yize so she spoke to Lu AnLing instead, because she knew that Lu AnLing would never lie to her.

Seeing Xiao Mian's wavering gaze, Lu AnLing sighed and then said,

"Xiao Mian, I like you. You were the only girl who was nice to me back in high school. You're my friend. But if you want to end that relationship, it's your choice. I don't have time for jealousy, or rivalries or anything of the sort. And I already told you that Yang Yize And I are over. I can't stop the way you feel, but please, don't make me treat you like an enemy."

Xiao Mian froze. Lu AnLing wasn't the same Lu AnLing she was before. She heard the girls words and internalized it well, and then she nodded, "Fine. But I want to know what happened. Everything."

Lu AnLing looked at Yang Yize. "He will tell you. I think you'll believe it best coming from him."

Xiao Mian laughed. "You trust that Yize will tell me the truth when he's lied to me this whole time!"

Yang Yize's heart clenched. The two were talking about him like he wasn't even there.

Lu AnLing shook her head and then looked at Yang Yize. "I'm sure they weren't all lies... and either way, Yang Yize has no choice but, to tell the truth. Unless he wants to lose you..."

'Or get killed by my husband...' Lu AnLing's mind completed.

Hearing this, Xiao Mian dug her fingernails into her palm. She was nervous and unsure. She loved Yang Yize so much so she feared what would happen when she heard everything.

What if Yang Yize has never loved her at all...

Lu AnLing understood where Xiao Mian's anxieties were coming from but Lu AnLing didn't have time to cater to the girl's feelings.

She was about to say a few more things to the girl but then, Kang Jun entered the room.

In the one swift moment when his tall figure crossed the threshold of the lounge doors, Lu AnLing felt as if the room went silent.

Kang Jun walked over to her like a king, ignoring all the peasants beside him.
