CHAPTER 75: CHI YU IS WAITING FOR YOU INSIDE

Weng Lan also left Ancient Water Village on this day.

She had to go back to the company for some work, and by the time she finished, it was very late. She hadn’t really answered any calls all day. Seeing the missed calls, then the push notifications, Weng Lan became furious.

In terms of such hype, why wouldn’t Weng Lan like it? She didn’t even have to make a move, and it was self-promoting, which certainly would make Weng Lan feel gratified.

But when she saw the person in the video was President Gu, Weng Lan almost blacked out.

How dare they have President Gu carry her sedan chair? With such audacity!

The audacity to provoke someone like him.

Weng Lan called Li Yan, but Li Yan didn’t pick up.

Weng Lan was so angry she gnashed her teeth, called again, still no answer, and kept calling, yet no response.

"Damn it, not answering my calls? Bold enough to cause trouble but not bold enough to answer?" Weng Lan was furious, not expecting that as soon as she left, Li Yan would go behind her back and cause a mess.

She saw a missed call from Yi Shu and called Yi Shu back: "I’m afraid I have to trouble you to apologize to Chi Yu. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Yi Shu said, "I knew it wasn’t your idea." Then he comforted Weng Lan: "Don’t be too hard on yourself, she’s just such an idiot, a hopeless case. If it doesn’t work out, you can find someone else to guide, I can help you find one."

"Thanks." Weng Lan thanked him with a sigh: "I almost offended President Gu myself back then, and I’m still apprehensive. It’s easy to replace someone, but hard to find the right one. It’s difficult to discover someone beautiful and smart, and for the average ones, I don’t want to go through all the trouble and end up with nothing, if I’m going to promote someone, I want to make a name for them."

Weng Lan has always had such ambition.

Yi Shu couldn’t persuade further, so he just offered a few more words of comfort.

Meanwhile, in the countryside of Ancient Water Village—

Li Yan wasn’t not picking up Weng Lan’s calls because she was afraid, but because her phone was stolen.

Before her phone was stolen, Li Yan indeed spent some of her savings to buy a fake news article, fabricating new content based on the recent hype involving Chi Yu.

She thought, after all, that woman isn’t in the circle, who would know her?

If she put this hype on herself, she would be the one benefiting from it, and it would only help her career.

So she very decisively bought the fake news to ride on Chi Yu’s popularity, boosting her own fame.

After doing all this, she pretended as if nothing happened, continuing with her usual routine, acting like she didn’t know anything. From time to time, she would sneak a glance at her phone and would be thrilled for a while.

Until near dusk, when suddenly someone came to find her.

This person seemed familiar and subtly hinted that Chi Yu wanted to meet her. Li Yan was thrilled at the time, had Chi Yu been discharged and returned?

Anyway, she couldn’t wait to meet Chi Yu, and in a moment of excitement, she avoided the photographers and went with that person to the place where Chi Yu was supposed to meet her.

The meeting place was in a storehouse in the orchard.

The person said, "Chi Yu is waiting for you inside."

Li Yan, with her brain heated up, rushed over excitedly. She opened the door and eagerly shouted, "Brother Yu, I’m here."

Just as she finished speaking.

Her phone was suddenly snatched away, and then she heard a ’bang’ sound.

The door behind her was shut.

Li Yan was startled, realizing something was wrong, she tried to open the door only to find it locked, she shouted, "Why are you locking me in here?"

"Why? Teaching you how to behave!" the person sneered: "Stay put, there are plenty of creatures wandering the orchard at night, go ahead and shout, whatever comes will be your own bad luck."

Li Yan was so scared that she turned pale.
