Chapter 32: Begin

Chang Qing was indeed a little surprised when Lu Zheng suddenly jumped out to call him sister-in-law, but after a while, he returned to normal. However, after getting into the car, he emphasized again, “Don’t call me sister-in-law.”

It feels like Wu Song calling Pan Jinlian.1

Lu Zheng was unable to grasp his mood, “You don’t need to stress it so many times.”

After a while, Lu Zheng asked, “Who’s the person who came down with you?”

Chang Qing said, “Zhang Xinyu, my superior, the boss’s secretary.”

Lu Zheng said, “You two have a good relationship.”

Chang Qing was startled for a moment. Why did he feel that Lu Zheng’s tone was weird? However, he didn’t think too much about it right then, “He’s very nice and quite interesting.”

Lu Zheng let out an “oh”, then Shang Shu in front of them said, “There’s a traffic jam ahead.”

Lu Zheng said, “Go around.”

Shang Shu scratched his short, stubble-like buzz cut and said, “Okay, I’m good at this. “

As Shang Shu spoke he turned the steering wheel abruptly to change lanes.

He didn’t warn anyone about this move, and Chang Qing was unprepared. He was thrown into Lu Zheng’s shoulder.

Lu Zheng’s shoulders were firm, and the collision seemed to hit the bone through the flesh, and Chang Qing groaned in pain.

Lu Zheng frowned, “Drive steadily. Don’t drive a sports car like a fucking tank.”

Shang Shu said cheerfully, “I know, I’ll pay attention next time.”

Lu Zheng ignored him. He turned to Chang Qing and said, “What happened? Where did you get hit?”

Chang Qing waved his hand, “It’s fine.”

Lu Zheng asked in a bad tone, “Why don’t you fasten your seat belt?”

Chang Qing said embarrassed, “I’ll fasten it now.”

He seldom takes cars now. He’d lost the habit of putting on his seatbelt as soon as he got into a car. This time he’d forgotten to fasten it.

Just as Chang Qing picked up the seat belt to fasten it, the car suddenly accelerated sharply and the steering wheel swung to the side again. Chang Qing was unable to control himself and crashed into Lu Zheng again.

Fortunately, Lu Zheng noticed it in time and quickly reached out and held Chang Qing before he could hit him again.

“Shang Shu!!” Lu Zheng called out immediately.

“It was an accident! Accident! There’s a car shaking in front of us.” Shang Shu looked back at them apologetically, “I’m slowing down now.”

Lu Zheng listened to what he said, and his expression eased a little bit. He glanced down at Chang Qing, and realized that he was still holding him. He couldn’t help but pause. The softness in his hands surprised him slightly, and he immediately pushed him away, and said sharply: “Fasten your seat belt! ”

When Chang Qing heard his stern words he immediately woke up, ”I’m fastening it now.”

He didn’t dare to delay any longer, so he fastened his seat belt at once.

Lu Zheng’s tone towards Shang Shu also became much worse. “Watch your driving. This isn’t a joke. I hired you to be my bodyguard, not to cause me trouble. If it happens again, you’d better get lost.”

Shang Shu apologized: “I was wrong. I’ll never do it again.”

Although it was an apology, it wasn’t sincere.

Lu Zheng said in a calm voice, “I don’t know how much of your bonus I’ll deduct from you for this year.”

Shang Shu sighed, “There will be no next time.”

This episode passed quickly. Lu Zheng looked angry, but in fact, he didn’t get angry for long, and it didn’t take long for him to return to normal.

When he got home, Chang Qing took out Lu Hua’s mobile phone, which had been kept in his bedroom, and opened it to take a look. Even if he didn’t reply, the other person could continue to send messages as if nothing had happened.

After a pause, Chang Qing tapped out a message and asked him, “I’m Lu Hua’s parent. Who are you?”

There was no reply.

Chang Qing put down the phone, frowned, and called the private detective.

On the other side Qin Lang was completely wilted, and handed his phone over to Fatty Wang, “Fatty, look…”

Fatty Wang saw it. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lu Hua’s parents died and I’ve heard that the youngest son of the Lu family was sent to a military school. The person who just responded to you should be Lu Zheng.”

Qin Lang lowered his eyes and said, “I’ll go find him.”

Fatty Wang said, “Don’t go!”

Startled, Qin Lang was silent for a moment. “Then what should we do?” He asked.

Fatty Wang licked his lips. He was also in a bad mood. The boss of Hongfeng left their relationship so thoroughly. Even if Qin Lang was popular, he said he’d give him up and he did. He didn’t even mean to protect him. He was also so angry that he let go of the other artists under him and handed in his resignation.

… The boss of Hongfeng also really approved his resignation.

Now that Fatty Wang was unemployed. His situation was only a little better than Qin Lang’s.

Fatty Wang couldn’t answer Qin Lang’s question. He was blocked by Lu Zheng. There were only two solutions. The first was to please Lu Zheng and let him unblock him; the second was to find a more powerful backer than Lu Zheng. As long as he can find someone, Lu Zheng’s ban would be useless.

The second one is obviously difficult, almost impossible. The Lu family was a wealthy and famous family in this city. If you want to look for another backer you can only find one in other province. However… In other provinces, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Distant water cannot quench present thirst.

On their current road, they have only the first choice left.

Fatty Wang held out his hand to Qin Lang: “Give me your phone. I’ll talk to Lu Zheng.”

Qin Lang paused, “What do you want to talk to him about?”

Fatty Wang said, “He’s also a human being. Playing the emotional card will be useful, right? What will happen with your family’s situation, if you don’t take another drama?”

Qin Lang didn’t say anything, and after a while, he said, “No, I don’t want him to know.”

Fatty Wang wanted to smoke again, “Then what do you want to do? Can your ridiculous self-esteem be eaten? You’re already 25 years old! Can’t you be more mature?”

Qin Lang said softly, “I have an idea. Don’t say anything about me.”

Fatty Wang: “What?”

Qin Lang’s affectionate gaze fell on Fatty Wang and said seriously: “You’re right. Pleasing Lu Hua can help me get the desired outcome but… I think the problem lies with Lu Zheng. If he hates me, it’s no use for Lu Hua to like me. “

Fatty Wang: “What do you mean?”

Qin Lang smiled slightly, and those eyes became extra gentle and affectionate because of the smile, “It would be nice if I could create a special environment so that he could have a good impression of me again.”

Fatty Wang endured the pain in his heart that was like the biting of an ant, “…Do you like Lu Zheng so much?”

Qin Lang was stunned for a moment, and said, “We are at most have just an ordinary relationship between a sponsor and the little star who they foster. To say that I like him… I shouldn’t. ”

Fatty Wang still remembers Qin Lang saying that he didn’t like men or women. At that time, he said with a confused expression: “Maybe I’m asexual.”

Asexuality, asexuality, asexuality was better than pure heterosexuality or homosexuality. Fatty Wang has always felt this way. Qin Lang has not had anyone around him since he was a teenager. He is very clean and self-disciplined, and never had anyone he liked. This undoubtedly confirms his words.

However, the appearance of Lu Zheng broke this fact that Fatty Wang had believed in.

Fatty Wang couldn’t help but pull out a cigarette, lit it, put it between his stubby fingers, and start to smoke.

The smoke made Qin Lang cough. He stretched out his hand and fanned, then stood up and opened the window.

Fatty Wang didn’t move at all. Instead he took a deep breath of the cigarette smoke and exhaled it, making the space around him even more smoky.

Qin Lang asked, “Didn’t you quit smoking?”

Fatty Wang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, “I quit smoking for you, for fear of affecting your state. Now that you are an unemployed young man, it’s okay for me to smoke a cigarette, right?”

Qin Lang smiled and said softly, “It’s nothing, you can smoke. You can smoke if you want to in the future. Don’t worry about me.” ”

Fatty Wang didn’t speak. He quickly finished smoking the whole cigarette. He put out the cigarette butt and said softly, “You haven’t finished speaking. How do you want to make Lu Zheng like you again?”

Qin Lang sat next to Fatty Wang. He reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and said in a low voice: “This matter… I need you to step in. Can you help me?”

The spot where he held Fatty Wang’s shoulder was burning hot. Even his heart started to beat violently. When he heard Qin Lang’s words, he smiled bitterly with a hint of bitter hatred and pain.”… when have I not helped you?”

Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. He leaned closer to Fatty Wang’s ear, “Listen to me…”

Fatty Wang’s eyes slowly widened, and the lighter in his hand fell to the floor with a cold “pop”.

“…How dare you? If you’re found out—” Fatty Wang’s throat felt choked up, and he couldn’t get anymore words out.

Qin Lang stepped back and smiled wryly at Fatty Wang: “The sword moves with a side stroke.2 Do you think I’m vicious?”

Fatty Wang licked his dry lips and suddenly sneered, “Are you vicious? The vicious one is Lu Zheng. What did you do wrong? You have such a bright future and yet you were blocked just because he said so.”

Qin Lang breathed a sigh of relief, “If it succeeds…he probably won’t block me.”

Fatty Wang paused for a moment and asked, “What happened to you and that Lu Zheng? Why were you… blocked by him?”

Qin Lang glanced at Fatty Wang and smiled bitterly, “…It’s my eyes that are to blame. He has a sister-in-law, do you know?” ”

Fat Wang said gloomily, “I know that Lu Xuan, who died, was married. I heard that he married a man.”

Qin Lang said, “He’s my fan. I met him occasionally, which caused some misunderstandings. Lu Zheng was probably very sensitive to this matter.”

He looked as if he hadn’t said anything, but he seemed to have said everything. In short, after listening to his words, Fatty Wang could almost guess the whole story.

Fatty Wang grit his teeth and said, “Neither of them are good people.”

One is coquettish and the other is cruel. They’re really suited to be a family.

Fatty Wang was very aware of Qin Lang’s sense of proportion in the relationship between men and women or between men and men, and that he knows how to advance and retreat. The only reason why he was treated like this was because Lu Zheng’s sister-in-law had done something to make Lu Zheng angry and ban Qin Lang.

Fatty Wang clenched his fists, his eyes full of resentment.

Qin Lang still whispered in his ear, “If we want to do this … it will be a little difficult, Fatty. We have to think about it … if we can do something else we won’t use this method.”

Fatty Wang said roughly: “I know. ”

Perhaps his face was too ugly, which startled Qin Lang. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

Fatty Wang wiped his face, “I know. I’ll arrange it.” His tone was very heavy, with a long-suppressed strong emotion suddenly bursting out.

He probably also felt that his tone was a little scary. He endured it and let out a sullen breath, “Don’t worry, no one can destroy you.”

Qin Lang listened, blinked his eyes slowly, and suddenly laughed. He was handsome, with a high nose and deep eyes. His eyes were tender. When he grinned, his lips were red and his teeth were white and he had a youthful look. He smiled like this, with a touch of tenderness. “Fatty, if you can’t do it, don’t feel pressured. It’s okay if I don’t act.”

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Fatty Wang’s hand, and said softly: “I think it’s a good to live like this. ”

Fatty Wang didn’t want to hear him say such a thing, but his eyes were fixed on his face, unwilling to look away. He held Qin Lang’s hand tightly and could only say, “Don’t worry.”

The author has something to say: The second big story after the big brother’s death has begun!
