Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Fourth Brother?
Song Recommendation: XXL By Young Posse!
"What do you mean?" Gu Shishi asked. She was at high alert, she did not want anyone to know about her true characters.
She had always shielded her real self, fearing that if one found out, they would take her to be weak, and this was not something she wanted.
Xin Yan looked at the girl who was at high alert, and she sighed. It was settled, Gu Shishi was insecure about countless things.
"I do not know what you are hiding, but I appreciate the help you rendered to my assistant, it means a lot," Xin Yan genuinely thanked her.
Gu Shishi breathed out.
"I only did what, I thought, was right, it was not my intention to help her," Gu Shishi remarked, she would rather not give Xin Yan the impression that she was a nice person.
"You have a charming heart, and I hope whatever scars you are hiding within you get healed up," Xin Yan stated, as she walked into one of the cubicles, leaving Gu Shishi speechless.
’What is she on about?’ Gu Shishi thought to herself, but she did not take it to heart as she exited the washroom, and also the restaurant.
"You took quite some time," Li Qiang commented when Xin Yan took her seat.
"I just had a chat with someone," Xin Yan replied, and they both carried on with their meal.
After the meal, they decided to go watch a movie.
As they were public figures, they had to sneak in without being recognized. If they were, it would cause a massive commotion, and it was not something they wanted.
With this thought in mind, Xin Yan and Li Qiang dressed as an old couple as they got their tickets.
Once they were able to make it safely into the cinema, that was when they heaved a sigh of relief. frёewebnoѵēl.com
They both turned to look at each other, bursting into laughter due to their appearances.
"You still look handsome even when 𝑜𝑙𝑑," Xin Yan teased.
"I could say the same for you, my lady," Li Qiang replied to her, and once again they burst into laughter, attracting the attention of the other people in the cinema.
Li Qiang smiled at them apologetically, while Xin Yan had an awkward smile on her face.
"The movie is starting," Li Qiang commented, and they both settled in properly to watch the movie.
It was a romance movie, with a touch of action, comedy and also thriller.
It was a movie which had been making waves in the country. And coincidentally, Li Qiang’s fourth brother was the male lead of the movie.
"So you mean to tell me that he is one of your closest friends?" Xin Yan whispered as she turned to look at him in surprise.
"Yes, that is him, Lu Wei," Li Qiang replied to her question.
"How come I haven’t seen him?" Xin Yan asked, her eyes coated with a hint of curiosity.
"Fourth brother has been on a quest to find his childhood sweetheart, I had no idea as to when he got another acting gig, we have not been in touch for a while now," Li Qiang answered, pinching the space between his forehead.
Lu Wei had always been like this. He would not provide any information about where he was, and it made people worried. It was safe to say he was the least matured out of all the friends.
"Is he a member of the prestigious Lu family?" Xin Yan asked curiously. If he was truly a member, then she wondered why the family had never acknowledged him.
"Hmm, he is a member, but his status in the family is quite low, after all, he is a product of his father’s one mistake," Li Qiang replied with a sour tone, sparking an endless curiosity in Xin Yan.
"What are you trying to say?" Xin Yan pressed further.
"The present head of the family hooked up with a bar girl, and got her pregnant while he was married, I am sure your grandparents are aware of this, but not everyone is, as the previous head made sure to wipe out every trace of evidence, including Li Wei’s mother," Li Qiang paused, as he allowed the first part of the information to sink in.
"So, what you are trying to say is, Lu Wei is an illegitimate child, and because of this reason, he does not have a proper status in the family, then his mother was also murdered by the people he was supposed to call family?" Xin Yan was appalled by the level of cruelty shown to Lu Wei and his late mother.
"Hmm, that is basically the major story," Li Qiang nodded, impressed by her analytical thinking.
"Is that why he ventured into acting? Because he knows he will be suppressed while he stays with them?" Xin Yan asked, already feeling completely bad for Lu Wei.
"That’s the reason, he thought that he would be taken seriously if he joined the entertainment industry, apparently, they were not concerned about him," Li Qiang explained further, his hands clenched due to the suffering his friend had experienced in those people’s hands.
"That is too much, at the end of the day, he is still a Lu regardless of how his existence came to be, he is also innocent in all of these, you would have to forgive me for what I am about to say, but this is entirely the fault of his parents," Xin Yan could barely contain her emotions, and if she were not conscious about her environment, she would have yelled out loud.
"I know, I also have the same thoughts as you, but Lu Wei has grown not to be bothered about them, he has come to realize that everything he does would be taken for granted, so he isn’t concerned about their thoughts anymore," Li Qiang stated, and Xin Yan felt relieved.
"Then that is good, it is best he acts that way, the entire members of the Lu family are monsters," Xin Yan was irate on Lu Wei’s behalf, so much that it got Li Qiang a tad bit jealous.
