"I will never invest any feelings in those who betray me! Especially not in a woman like you, who uses a child as leverage and is ruthless!"
Ruthless? He actually called her ruthless?
With a bitter smile, she retorted unwillingly, "What about Gu Lvq Qi? Didn't she betray you? She never loved you; she has already cheated on you, yet you can still forgive her! Jiang Chengmu, I love you so much, and this is how you treat me. Is it fair?"
"Fair?" He scoffed, looking at her coldly, his dark eyes no longer holding a trace of tenderness.
"There is no such thing as fairness in love. Because I love her, I would rather suffer. Even if she has betrayed me, I don't care. Just because she doesn't love me now doesn't mean she won't in the future. No matter what, she is still my wife! Let me warn you one last time: do not disturb her again, or don't blame me for being merciless!"
With a cold snort, he stepped out of the hospital room, leaving Lu Manqing filled with despair. Finally, at the moment the door closed, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
At the hospital entrance, Jiang Chengmu took out his phone and dialed Green Qi's number. After waiting for a while with no answer, he had no choice but to call Yan Zili.
As soon as the call connected, chaotic sounds came from Yan Zili's side. After a while, Yan Zili's hurried voice finally came through: "Who is this?"
"It's me, Jiang Chengmu."
On the other end of the line, Yan Zili was surprised to receive his call. The filming set was busy preparing for a fight scene, and it was noisy all around.
Taking a slight breath, Yan Zili then spoke slowly: "What does Jiang Shao need from me?"
"Is Qiqi with you right now?"
"Hey, you're really strange. Why are you asking me about your own wife? I’m filming at a location far away, and she’s not with me. Why don’t you ask if something happened with that girl, Yin Xiyin? Could it be that you two are getting a divorce?"
"I heard from Lu Manqing that she fell down the stairs, thinking she was with you..."
"I can't believe you! If anything happens to Qiqi, I won't let you off the hook!" With a loud click, Yan Zili hung up the phone and rushed towards the director, shouting as he ran, "Director, I need to take urgent leave! You all keep filming; I'll come back to shoot my scenes later. I'm leaving now!"
Grabbing her bag from the chair, she didn't even bother to change clothes and quickly ran to her car.
Behind her, a group of actors and the director looked at her rushing figure in confusion.
It was crunch time for filming, and their leading lady had just bolted. However, since she was the boss's woman, no one dared to complain when she requested leave—not even the director, let alone anyone else!
The black Land Rover sped down the road as Yan Zili pulled out his phone to call Swallow Returns. As soon as the call connected, he hurriedly spoke, "Swallow Returns, I'm on my way from the set to the airport. Please have my secretary book a flight for me. Also, find out where Qiqi is. Jiang Chengmu just called and said she fell down the stairs. I've tried calling her several times, but she hasn't answered!"
"Got it. Just drive and don't talk on the phone. Don't worry; I'll call Yin Xiyin first to see if she's with her. Once I find her, I'll call you back!"
Just as he was about to dial Yin Xiyin's number, a new email notification popped up on his computer screen. He set his phone down and opened it; the sender was Xia Yu, and the email contained only one line: "Make Lu Manqing get out of the entertainment industry."
