My Wife is My Life!
chapter-179

“Weiwei, I’ve never thought of you that way. I just…”

“Miss Shen. You can rest assured about this. Although Lu Liting is my brother, the Lu family has nothing to do with him. He has also promised me that he won’t act as a member of the Lu family, to support your future career.”

The hurt and indignation in Shen Weiwei’s eyes somewhat paused.

With a determined face, Lu Liting said, “Yes, Weiwei! The Lu family is them, and I’m me. I didn’t reveal it to you because I didn’t think it was necessary. I can work up by myself and provide you with the life you want!”

“Wait!” Ji Qingqing interrupted Lu Liting’s emotional words. “Can we talk it out one by one? As for your own couple issues, you two can settle it slowly behind closed doors yourselves.” She looked up to Lu Lixing and aired out her grievances. “Your brother tried to hit me earlier. You need to give him a good lesson.”

Lu Liting once again got provoked by Ji Qingqing, and he exclaimed, “Ji Qingqing, don’t spout nonsense! I didn’t even touch you at all. You fell down on your own! And yet you still accuse me!

“There were so many pairs of eyes looking earlier and you’re still denying!” Looking at Lu Lixing, Ji Qingqing continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Director Zhou. They all saw it.”

Lu Lixing’s eyes shifted to Director Zhou.

Director Zhou was in a bind. Previously it didn’t matter as he wasn’t aware of Lu Liting’s background. But now, after knowing that Lu Liting was part of the Lu family, he wasn’t sure anymore.

“What happened, Director Zhou?”

“What else could happen?” Ji Qingqing explained everything glibly, “During that scene earlier, Shen Weiwei had six NGs and Lu Liting thought that I was purposely trying to make things difficult for her so he tried to hit me!” She muttered, “I’m not that dumb. If I really wanted to frame her, why would I be stuck filming the same scene for six times? Shouldn’t I at least change the pattern of my stunts?”

Lu Lixing looked ominously at Lu Liting. “You’re still thinking about hitting?”

“I’m not!” Today, Lu Liting finally got a taste of how it’s like to ‘try really hard to explain yourself but to no avail.’ At that moment, he really wanted to tear apart Ji Qingqing’s mask. “I’ve said it. I did not touch her!”

Ji Qingqing continued to add fuel to the fire. With an accommodating look, she said, “Alright alright, I didn’t get injured. Let this go. The filming assignment already got delayed by a day because of me. Any more delays and the day will be over before we know it.”

Upon hearing Ji Qingqing’s words, Lu Liting’s rage became even harder to restrain. “Ji Qingqing, don’t feign it. You said that I pushed you? Do you have proof?”

Ji Qingqing lifted her eyelids. She gazed at him momentarily and gave an indiscernible smile. After a while, the smile on her face gradually faded. She stared at him coldly and emotionlessly. “Then do you have proof for saying that I made things difficult for Shen Weiwei?”

“What you did was obvious. Everyone all…”

“All saw it?” Ji Qingqing said with a smile.

Lu Liting stiffened.

Lu Lixing had listened to them quarrel for quite some time. How could he not know what was going on? He continued to listen in as a spectator for a while before clearly understanding the current situation between the two of them. Turning to Director Zhou, he said, “Director Zhou, if you don’t mind, could you allow a 20-minute break?”

Director Zhou didn’t dare to reject him. “Of course!”

The filming crew at the site began to disperse.

While walking past Lu Liting, Ji Qingqing smiled and whispered, “Today’s bitch-identifying lesson is free of charge. You’re welcome.”

She said all she could and did all she could. If Lu Liting still couldn’t see the truth, then it had nothing to do with her.

Lu Liting’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he watched Ji Qingqing’s back view with a mixed look in his eyes. He remained silent for a long while.

“Liting…” Shen Weiwei called him softly.

Lu Liting turned a deaf ear to her words.

Shen Weiwei’s eyebrows furrowed. She knew that Lu Liting now suspected her. Thinking of various ways to gain his pity, she forced tears out, and self-mockingly asked, “Liting, are you doubting me?”

Lu Liting lowered his brow. “Weiwei, don’t overthink it. I’m not…”

Yet when he recalled Ji Qingqing’s words earlier and thought about them carefully, what she said wasn’t entirely unreasonable too.
