CHAPTER 647: YAN YUN

"Madam Han." Luo Huian raised her head and greeted the woman. She was exceptionally happy that the woman had come at the right time. If this woman were even a second late, Luo Qingling and the rest of the family would have scolded her bloody!

Madam Han nodded. She entered the ward with a fruit basket in her hands, along with a bouquet. Though the woman didn’t say a word, Luo Huian still unconsciously felt that Madam Han was here for some business. It was not her fault. Even though she knew nothing about Madam Han, she knew one thing. This woman was a money-grubber. She would do absolutely anything to get hold of an opportunity to earn money.

Since she came here, she must have something to tell me, thought Luo Huian. She just knew that Madam Han would never come over to look for her without a reason, and sure enough! A second later, she heard Madam Han say, "It’s good to see that you are doing well, Miss Luo. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to attend the recording."

"The recording? The recording of what?" Luo Qingling turned and questioned. As her mind had been muddled throughout these days, she didn’t have the slightest bit of an idea about this recording that Madam Han was speaking about.

"Have you forgotten, Leader? Miss Luo is supposed to record a new show with the fox beast that she had contracted." Madam Han pushed her glasses above the bridge of her nose and stated, "You were the one who signed the contract saying that Miss Luo should show her face more to the world; this way, she will be much safer."

Luo Qingling: "..." Now that she thought about it, she did say something like that.

"Really?" Luo Huian was surprised. She turned and looked at Luo Qingling before saying to her, "When did this happen? You didn’t tell me anything about it."

How could Luo Qingling have had the time to tell about the shoot to Luo Huian? She had been running around looking for Gu Sirou, and when she was not looking for that woman, she was rushing in and out of the hospital. With so many things tumbling over her head one after another, she was determined to forget something.

It was just that she never thought that she would forget such an important thing! How could she even forget that she needed to tell Luo Huian about the shoot?

"If you don’t want to shoot it, then leave it alone," said Luo Qingling, rubbing her forehead. She sighed heavily. "I did sign it, but it was before your accident, I believe the agency would understand—"

"I will shoot!" Luo Huian spoke up before Luo Qingling could say that there was no need for her to finish the shooting. Having been cooped up in the hospital for so many days, she wanted nothing more than to get out of here.

Luo Qingling glanced at the shiny gaze of her sister and closed her eyes. It seemed like even if she wanted to stop Luo Huian, the woman would not listen to her, so she might as well leave her to it.

Just like that, with Luo Huian excited to shoot the special episode as a special guest, the decision was made.

"Meilin!"

Fan Meilin turned and looked at Ji Yao, who came looking for him and frowned in disgust; he wondered why the mer was even coming to look for him before the race. However, he still pursed his lips and held back from saying anything to Ji Yao before the race.

"What?" He asked. His eyes looked around to make sure that Liao Hong did not come with Ji Yao, or else things would have become troublesome for him. It was bad enough that he didn’t practice for the race with his wife admitted to the hospital; he didn’t want to ruin his mood with Liao Hong disgusting him.

Liao Hong had been poking at him these past few days, and he didn’t like it. However, the woman still had the contract in her hands, and he couldn’t do anything against her. Of course, he could ask the Luo family to pay the penalty, and they would even do it, but he couldn’t bear to ask for such a large sum of money when he knew that he couldn’t even give birth to a child for the Luo family.

All because of this shameless woman.

Ji Yao was not happy with Fan Meilin’s tone, but recalling what Liao Hong had asked him to do, he could only purse his lips and say, "Mada, Liao asked you to pay attention to the driving tonight. A lot is at stake today, and if you mess up, then our company will lose a lot of money —"

"You should have thought this through when you pushed another young and naive racer against me." Fan Meilin rolled his eyes as he puffed out a small cloud of smoke. He stared at Ji Yao like he could see right through the mer and said to him, "I will do what I think I can do. As the company has put me on hold for so many months, I don’t think that I can do much at present."

His words were not spoken lightly, which caused many people to turn around and look at him and Ji Yao.

"What? They put their ace racer on hold for the sake of a newbie?"

"No wonder I didn’t see Master Fan driving around these past few months. I thought that the mer was retiring; I never thought that this was the reason why the mer hadn’t been on the race track."

Fan Meilin curled his lips when he got the desired effect and turned around to walk out of the garage where his car was steadily place.

Ji Yao watched the mer leave and shook with the sheer impact of the anger that was bursting through his veins. This damned mer!

"You pissed him off," remarked Xu Qiao as he finished checking the car that Fan Meilin was going to drive. He had seen the new racer that the company was pushing to the forefront, lurking around the garage earlier and even if the mer had not done anything, Xu Qiao knew that the mer wouldn’t be here without any evil intentions.

Thus, he had lingered behind the car and made sure that the mer wouldn’t be able to do anything to the car. He knew very well that now that Fan Meilin was dragged back to the top by the company, Yan Yun would definitely be pushed back down, and the mer who had finally got a taste of fame by riding on Fan Meilin’s coattails wouldn’t want to disappear so quickly.

Certainly, he would want to drag Fan Meilin down.

Xu Qiao was certainly not wrong.

At that moment, Yan Yun was looking at Fan Meilin with a deep-seated resentment. It was not the kind of resentment of just losing his fame, but something deep. The mer stared at Fan Meilin and wished he could rush forward and stab this mer to death. He just couldn’t understand why Fan Meilin lived such a good life despite doing something so shameless in the past and the present.

In his last life, Fan Meilin lived a good life with Luo Huian, awakening and dealing with the glooms and the hollows. He had no idea what and how the Luo family ended — but he did know that Fan Meilin was able to live a good life even when he was defiled twice by Liao Hong.

That woman ruined him, and yet Luo Huian didn’t say a word and accepted the mer without a complaint.

When Yan Yun thought of how much Luo Huian loved Fan Meilin, she was willing to accept him even in his defiled state; he felt like killing himself all over again. He thought of Luo Huian and then thought about his own wife. That woman was lazy to her bones and never even gave him a good look, always asking for money.

Compared to Fan Meilin, he was better in every way. At least he could have children when the mer couldn’t!

He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fan Meilin. Looking at the mer as if he had taken away his chance at fame and turned around to walk away. Forget it. He was doing a favour to Fan Meilin by making him retire tonight; at least he wouldn’t be defiled by that evil woman, but since he didn’t want that, then he might as well be ruined to death! Humph!

Fan Meilim turned and looked at Yan Yun, who had walked away, and frowned. "What is he doing here?"

"What else? I am sure he came here to mess with the functions of the car," replied Xu Qiao calmly. "He has been lingering around the garage since the evening and because of him, I cannot even walk out and remain trapped here."
