Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 971 - 968: Stop Taking Advantage of Me
Nangong Xuan glanced up and noticed that indeed, several people were walking towards them. He instinctively assessed Lu Xinyun for a moment before looking away. "What are you afraid of? You don’t resemble her in the slightest."
Lu Xinyun: "..."
He speaks as if he knows me well!
Though he said so, Lu Xinyun remained calm when those people actually stopped in front of her.
She met their scrutinizing eyes and mimicked Nangong Xuan by lowering her voice, "Hello, is there something you need?"
One of them examined her briefly and said to the person beside him, "I don’t see the resemblance at all. Where do you guys see it?"
"Right! I feel the same way. The key point is, the masks haven’t been revealed yet. If we could see her face, perhaps we’d be sure."
Seeing no one paying her any attention, Lu Xinyun’s anxiety eased a bit, and she asked again, "If you’re not looking for me, could you not obstruct my view?" She noticed that not far away, someone’s attention was drawn to them, and others seemed to be heading this way. Things were not looking optimistic.
Suddenly, Nangong Xuan wrapped a big arm around Lu Xinyun, pulling her into his embrace, and glared coldly at the few people in front of them, asserting his dominance. Others might not know who this person is, but he is quite sure that the person before him couldn’t possibly be Xiao Bao.
Not to mention Xiao Bao is still studying overseas, even from Lu Xinyun’s appearance, she doesn’t resemble her.
To him, Xiao Bao would be adorable and beautiful, regardless of whether she had grown up or not.
As he thought of this, a flash of inspiration crossed Nangong Xuan’s mind, but it vanished before he could grasp it.
Finally, those individuals left, abandoning their initial assumptions.
Lu Xinyun suddenly started laughing.
Nangong Xuan, puzzled, asked, "What’s so funny?"
She first removed his large hand from her shoulder and glared at him, "Can’t you stop taking advantage of me?"
He casually withdrew his hand and stared ahead, lost in thought.
After a moment, Lu Xinyun said, "Why don’t you go find Miss Lu? Maybe if you find her, the boss can give you a chance to bypass the audition directly."
Nangong Xuan turned back upon hearing this, "You really want me to go?"
Her discomfort was apparent as she turned away, "I don’t care. At worst, I’ll quit. But if I don’t work here anymore, maybe no one else can tolerate you like I do."
He nodded in agreement, "You have a point."
Soon after, she watched as he got up and walked into the crowd.
She was a bit embarrassed; it seemed this blockhead wasn’t entirely without ambition!
Ten minutes later
Xiao Qing, forcefully taken to rest backstage, returned to the stage. Seeing the various expressions change upon her entrance, Xiao Qing’s smile grew wider.
"Everyone, please calm down. I guess tonight none of you will be able to find my daughter. But that’s okay; it shows she’s well hidden and her acting is quite good... Well, the last five minutes remain. If no one finds her, then the opportunity will be hers."
Upon these words, various degrees of accusations arose, saying President Xiao was biased, that she schemed to pave the way for Miss Lu’s entry into showbiz.
The words reached Xiao Qing’s ears clearly, yet her smile remained unwavering.
