The phone call was picked up very quickly. Qiao Anhao soon heard Song Xiangsi’s clear voice.
“Miss Qiao? What’s up?”
On the phone, Qiao Anhao pursed her lips into a smile as she sincerely thanked Song Xiangsi. “Sister Xiangsi, I saw your weibo post. Thank you for your help.”
“Actually, you don’t need to thank me. You should thank…”
Just as Song Xiangsi said this, she looked at Lu Jinnian who shot her a look of warning. She smiled at him and changed the subject. “Miss Qiao, don’t mention it. It was nothing.”
Although Song Xiangsi said this, Qiao Anhao could clearly hear what Song Xiangsi really meant through the pause in her speech. Did someone ask her to help her out of the situation?
Qiao Anhao pushed her doubts deep down and said in a weak voice into her phone, “Sister Xiangsi, it was all thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do. If you have time, let me treat you out for a meal?”
“Sure.” Song Xiangsi didn’t hold back even a little bit, accepting with no reservations.
“Then I’ll set up a time and let you know.”
Song Xiangsi replied “Sure” again.
Before Qiao Anhao hung up the phone, she didn’t forget to say another “Thanks”.

Song Xiangsi hung up the phone and turned to glance over at Lu Jinnian, who sat beside her. Knowing that he stayed to clearly eavesdrop on her conversation with Qiao Anhao, she purposefully pretended to be stupid by asking, “Mr. Lu, how have you not left yet?”
Lu Jinnian didn’t care for Song Xiangsi’s taunt. He asked in a clear voice, “How… is she?”
Song Xiangsi’s expression instantly fell. “Nothing much. From her tone, it sounded like she had cried…”
Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows. His hands that were relaxed by his sides instantly balled up into fists. He turned his head and glared at Song Xiangsi, clearly repeating each word, “She cried?”
Seeing Lu Jinnian with his guard up like this, Song Xiangsi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Only after meeting his murderous eyes did she stop laughing. When she started to speak, her voice carried a hint of laughter, “I was just kidding. Seeing as you’re so anxious to know, she seemed alright from her voice. She should be just fine now…”
Before Song Xiangsi could finish, Lu Jinnian instantly flipped. His face was dark when he said, “Crazy!”
He reached out and forcefully flung the car door open and left.
Outside the car, Song Xiangsi’s manager and assistant saw Lu Jinnian, and immediately greeted him with respect, “Mr. Lu.”
Lu Jinnian took long, angry strides away as though he hadn’t heard them.
One could clearly tell from his back that his body had relaxed a lot more after clenching up earlier when he heard that Qiao Anhao had cried.
