Chapter 1312: I Only Want You (10)
Staring at i Yangyang, Wu Lianzhi could not help but find her rather familiar even though he could not recall anything about her at all.
“Hello.”
i Yangyang answered, “Hello.”
....
On the way back, An Xiaoning noticed that Wu Lianzhi had been remaining calm and composed. “How do you feel?” she asked.
“Great. I’m glad to see how happy a life she’s leading.”
An Xiaoning patted him on his shoulder and said, “It’s alright, you’ll be as blissful too. You two just weren’t destined to be together in this lifeti. Think about your future and make so concrete plans. Tell if there’s any job that you’d like to do. I can help you arrange it if it’s within my ans.”
They entered the gate together and Wu Lianzhi said, “I can tell that her husband is a very kind and good man. She’ll definitely be blissful living with such an optimistic and cheerful man. I’m gratified and heartened to see that she’s living well. As for my future, I just want to live a stable life of peace and settle down with a woman who can bring joy. But in order to et a good girl, I’ll have to go to a place where there are many girls, right?”
An Xiaoning agreed, “You have a point.”
Shortly after they arrived ho, Wu Haigang was brought forth.
Staring at the man before her, An Xiaoning saw that he seed to only be in his late thirties or forties.
“Hello, Mr. Wu. I believe you should be well aware of who this is. He used to be a mber of your family too,” she said.
He looked up and glared at Wu Lianzhi. “He’s not fit to be a mber of the Wu family.”
An Xiaoning looked at him condescendingly and said, “Ah... are you fit enough, then? I’m telling you, there’s no other option for you now that you’ve landed in our hands. Your life ans nothing now. The point is, do you want the rest of your descendants to die together with you?”
Pointing at Wu Lianzhi, Wu Haigang asked, “Including him?”
“No. Although he has already changed his last na back to ‘Wu,’ he no longer belongs to the Wu family, so nope, he’s not included. Mr. Wu, I’m sure you know what my status is. So what if you’re the head of an elite family in R Nation? No big deal to . As long as I drop a bomb on your ho, I reckon lots of lives will be lost. R Nation is still going through tumultuous tis anyway, so it’s your call to decide if you want to break our curse or let your family be in danger. Do as you deem fit.”
“You... how am I supposed to believe you? I believe you won’t go back on your word, would you?” he asked.
“You don’t have a choice now. Did you think that I had forgotten about the plot that your people had devised to kill ? Do you think my country won’t pursue the matter, especially since I’m the President’s daughter? As long as I want to do it, I’ll have many ways to make your family pay double the price and beco eradicated. You want to see that happen?”
Wu Haigang closed his eyes and remained silent.
Indeed, his life didn’t matter as much compared to the many lives of his family. If he were to let her annihilate his family, he would have beco the ultimate sinner and let his ancestors down.
This ti, he had completely lost the battle.

“Sis Erlan, I heard that Jing Shui is done filming for his parts and would be leaving today.”
“Does his presence even matter? Although he was hard-working at the start, he stopped showing up as the filming progressed. I heard that Director had to use a stunt double for lots of the scenes involving Jing Shui. He’s only playing a minor role and yet they had to use a stunt double so frequently to fill in for him. If his brother were involved in this production, he definitely wouldn’t have allowed that,” Fang Erlan said while putting on so lipstick.
“That goes without saying. Director Jing Tian has always been strict and holds high expectations. He definitely wouldn’t allow the stunt double to be used so frequently. By the way, Sis Erlan, when is Cousin going to co back?” Xiao Yue asked.
“Very soon.”
“Oh, I’m starting to crave for all the delicious food that Cousin had been bringing you when he was around.”
“You little glutton.” Fang Erlan stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yue picked up her bag and followed Fang Erlan out. The bodyguards quickly followed her too upon the sight of her exiting.
She seed to have the airs of a queen.
Even a popular actress like Yu Caiwei had only brought along four bodyguards, yet Fang Erlan had eight beside her.
They ford a single file.
She was attending a fan eting, which was also a publicity event for the television series.
Most of the fans who had turned up were Yan Ge’s female fans, whereas Fang Erlan barely had any.
Although she had beco famous after her relationship with Yan Ge was exposed, she still did not have many fans since neither of the two television series that she’d starred in had begun broadcasting.
However, she was surprised to see that she had about twenty fans.
Twenty was insignificant, given that there were hundreds of people in total...
The event lasted for half an hour. Just as it was about to end, an accident happened.
When Fang Erlan was about to make her way down, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties weaved his way through the bodyguards and pounced onto Fang Erlan.
Chaos broke out instantly.
Fang Erlan imdiately fell backward onto the other bodyguard beside her.
The bodyguard swiftly pulled her away from danger and flung the man onto the ground, causing him to have a great fall while the rest of the people retreated.
Fang Erlan stood up straight, still unable to recover from the shock. Nonetheless, she still maintained her composure and left the place quickly.
Seething with exasperation, Xiao Yue snapped the mont they got inside the nanny van, “Goddamn it. That old fogy must be tired of living. If Cousin had been around, he definitely would have broken that man’s arm.”
Fang Erlan cald herself down and remained quiet.
Thinking that she must be in low spirits, Xiao Yue frantically tried to comfort her, “Sis Erlan, it’s alright. Our bodyguard flung him away harshly and taught him a lesson.”
“Xiao Yue, what do you want to do in the future?”
Xiao Yue asked in puzzlent, “Huh? What do I want to do in the future? I still want to continue working for you.”
“What if I quit the showbiz industry?”
Xiao Yue looked at her and said, “I’ll still want to follow you, Sis Erlan.”
“If I quit the showbiz industry, you won’t be able to work for anymore. Xiao Yue, you co from a humble family too, right? You once said that your greatest wish is to own a house in A City, didn’t you?”
“Yes, but property prices are so high nowadays and I won’t be able to afford one with that ager salary of mine. I only make a few thousand dollars a month.”
“How much savings do you have now?” Fang Erlan asked.
“More than 30 thousand dollars.”
“How about I buy you a one-bedroom apartnt?”
Dumbfounded, Xiao Yue said, “Sis, I can’t accept that. The cheapest one-bedroom apartnt is going to cost at least one to two million dollars. I’ve only worked for you for such a short period of ti. I don’t deserve that much kindness from you.”
