Chapter 539 - Do I look that terrible?

Meanwhile, Lu Aotian had already has someone speak to the family of the man Lu Meili unintentionally hurt. They were preparing to blow the matter up and make the girl's family pay a huge sum, but once they saw Lu Aotian's lawyer, they were shocked. The said woman was from the Lu family? 

Everyone knew that Lawyer Shen was exclusive to the Lu family. He would not appear if it was not an important matter regarding the Lu family. 

In the end, Lu Aotian was only lenient enough to pay the hospital bills. That was the limit of his kindness. Once that man was out of hospital, he would pursue the matter further. He wouldn't just sit back and let men off for bullying his daughter. 

It was considered crossing his limits as long as Lu Meili didn't like it, even if all he did was touch her. Most importantly, his wife was offended by this matter. Of course, this was the only reason he was not letting this issue go.

... 

Lu Meili ran to speak to Lu Aotian before he could leave for work. "Daddy, about last night, thank you." 

Lu Aotian patted her head. "This time, it was only because your mother would be worried. Take better care of yourself the next time." 

"Got it dad."

Lu Meili went back to her room. 

Her manager gave her a call just as she entered her room. "Lu Meili, the auditions for 'Dancer of the year' will be starting on Friday. Will you go? You still have seven days to prepare for it." 

It was easy for her to pass any auditions. Except this time, the female lead for 'Dancer of the year' was a talented dancer. 

Her acting and singing skills were remarkable, but she wasn't too confident about her dancing.  It was obvious that this movie's director would not only focus on acting skills, but on dancing too. 

"I'm not too confident about that."

The manager expected this reply. She had never seen Lu Meili dance after all. She had never acted in a movie or drama where she needed to dance either. However, "The company wants you to go. CEO Lin personally said that you must at least try." She explained, feeling envious of Lu Meili. Not only was she so popular, even a big shot CEO like Lin Lihua had time to pay attention to her.

Lu Meili held her forehead. But Aunty Lihua knew that she couldn't dance. "Got it." 

She hung up the call with her manager, then gave Lin Lihua a call. 

She didn't pick it even after many rings. She knew Lin Lihua's schedule by heart. She hadn't gone to work today. Perhaps she had left her phone on silent? "Never mind. I will just rush to Uncle Henry's." Aside from this matter, she also had to speak to Katy.

There should be a limit to her act of sticking onto Lin Lihua. Or else, it would be too strange for someone who kept their distance to suddenly become too clingy. 

Thinking about this, she flew down the stairs. 

"Eldest miss, your food is ready." A maid said as soon as she saw her. 

"Thanks Momo. Please keep it warm; I'll eat it when I come back." 

"..." 

But madam specifically said that Lu Meili shouldn't leave the house before eating...

"Meili!" Katy Blanc was excited to see Lu Meili. It was just a coincidence that she needed to ask her something. 

"Hello Sis Katy. Is Aunty home?" 

"She must be freshening up. Meili, I think I messed up." 

Lu Meili felt all the happiness leave her body. "What?"

"I acted too much. Aunty must have noticed it." 

Lu Meili thought hard about it. It wouldn't be good if anything went wrong. Urgh... she must have been sick when she told Katy to do all this in one go. 

"Wait a second. There's nothing wrong." 

"There's not?" Katy looked relieved. 

Lu Meili put on a scheming face. "Be a 'loving daughter' for as long as possible. It doesn't matter if she finds out that you are deliberately acting it out. Trust me, no matter what, it's a sure win." 

Katy Blanc looked at this little girl. "Are you sure? You may not know but you look terribly evil right now." 

Lu Meili laughed. "Of course I look evil. That's not the main point. You should have already prepared food for your mother." 

Katy sighed. "She didn't eat it." 

"Don't worry. It might take some time." 

At this time, Lin Lihua came downstairs. The girls sat straight. 

"Aunty, I was looking for y... Jeez! Aunty, did you not sleep well enough? Sis Katy, how could you not take care of aunty?" 

Lin Lihua looked self-conscious. "Do I look that terrible?" 

Lu Meili looked aside shyly. "Not... at all. Aunty is the most beautiful woman after all." 

"You little brat. Close your eyes to my momentary beauty-fail. What do you need me for?" 

Lu Meili didn't mind discussing business in such a casual manner. "About the auditions for 'Dancer of the year'. Aunty, I don't think I'm good enough." 

"But I think you are." Lin Lihua's tone was firm, not allowing any room for negotiation. 

However, Lu Meili wasn't one to give up easily. "B-but... I can't dance. The main highlight here is the dance, right?" 

Lin Lihua took a seat and looked at her, wondering what kind of tone this was. "There's no such thing as 'I can't do it' in HL Entertainment. I don't think you can find it in the Lu family either. Don't you know that you are my niece? 

My standard for you is much higher, or it would be unfair to other artists. Obviously, I cannot give you a role you absolutely can't do."
