Long Jie suddenly felt like someone had grabbed her by the throat as countless possibilities popped up in her mind.
Especially after she mechanically entered Lan Xi's apartment. Under the bright chandelier, she saw her simple looking grandfather talking to Lan Xi with a kind smile on his face. Her chest burned with fire like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"President Lan... what is the meaning of this?" Long Jie's voice trembled slightly.
Hearing Long Jie's voice, Lan Xi and Grandfather Long both turned to look at her. Lan Xi even stood up and greeted Long Jie warmly, "You have been very responsible towards Tangning, so I wanted to reward you. So, I brought your grandfather over. You don't mind, right?"
"Xiao Man, President Lan treats me too well. She treats me like family. You should properly thank her," Grandfather Long smiled happily as he waved his hand at Long Jie. He was wearing a new set of comfortable clothes.
Long Jie looked at Lan Xi angrily as her hands clenched into fists. She even wanted to ask Lan Xi if she had any humanity left in her.
She didn't even let go of a 78 year old man... even a 78 year old man was being used.
"Luo Hao, accompany Grandfather Long to get some rest. I still have some things to discuss with Long Jie," Lan Xi looked at Long Jie threateningly; her gaze was like a cold knife.
Long Jie wanted to drag her grandfather away, but... she knew, if she didn't get what Lan Xi wanted, she wouldn't be able to walk out the door.
"In that case, you guys take your time. I'm going to go get some rest. I'm getting old and useless... I get tired every time I sit in the car."
Long Jie watched as her grandfather disappeared into the distance before she questioned Lan Xi, "What is the meaning of this?"
"Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?" Lan Xi left Long Jie's side and returned to the sofa to sit down. "I want to use you, it's that simple. But, how can I make a loyal dog like you abandon Tangning? I can only think of your family! "
"Long Man, you've been in this industry for a long time. Haven't you seen this kind of method before? Aren't you already used to it? "
Long Jie held back her tears. Even though she had a kind nature, she couldn't withstand Lan Xi's humiliation and coercion, "What do you want? Just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush."
Lan Xi let out a laugh as she placed the glass of red wine between her fingers. She then stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, "I want to know all of Tangning's secrets."
"For example?"
"Who is that figure in LM's commercial?"
Long Jie lowered her head, smiled and replied, "He's from the Tang Family."
Long Jie casually made up a story, "As you know, Tangning is the heiress of the Tang family. She is just a model, who could she hire to save the day? It could only be someone from the Tang Family. But, we couldn't let anyone else in the Tang Family know, so we had to keep it a secret. Think about it, if it was any other artist, they would definitely want to be exposed. Why would they disappear without a word? "
Lan Xi turned around and glanced at Long Jie with a cold glare. But, at least, she accepted the answer.
"What kind of background does Tangning have? What kind of man are you intimate with? "
"Other than being the daughter of the Tang Family who was kicked out, what other background does she have? If she had a powerful background, would she be exploited like this? " "As for men, she is quite close to the editor of TQ. They have had dinner together a few times, but they are not that close. Perhaps Tangning likes Lin Weisen, but... editor Lin is not interested in her."
After hearing this, Lan Xi walked over to Long Jie and pinched her chin, "Tangning clearly said she has a man and they are living together."
"She has never said she is living with a man... she simply admitted to being in a relationship."
Lan Xi glared at Long Jie and warned, "You better make sure everything you say today is the truth. Otherwise, your grandfather... is getting old and his health isn't good."
"I've already said everything that needs to be said. What else do you want? If you don't believe me, you can go investigate... "Long Jie replied helplessly." Tangning has always relied on herself. No matter when, she has never thought about using someone to get ahead. Nor has she ever thought about being a threat to you. "
"But, her existence itself is a threat," Lan Xi finished her glass of red wine in one gulp. She then turned to Long Jie and said, "I won't ask you to do too much. Just this one time, stop Tangning from going on Feng Cai. As long as you succeed, I will let your grandfather go."
Long Jie was silent for a moment before sneering, "Are you that confident that I will betray Tangning?"
"Long Man, although I don't know much about you, I'm sure you wouldn't disregard the grandfather that raised you for the sake of an outsider, right?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Actually, I don't need you to do much. All I need you to do is... hold Tangning back. It's that simple."
Lan Xi threw out the task and said it was simple.
But, for Long Jie, if she agreed to Lan Xi's suggestion, it would be the same as losing her humanity. In reality, people could make the right choice under any circumstances.
If the pressure of the environment changed them, wouldn't they be worse than a spring?
"I know you and Tangning are like sisters. But, Long Man... I can do anything," Long Jie smiled bitterly.
Long Jie smiled bitterly. If she still couldn't see Lan Xi's bottom line, then she would be too slow!
Do anything! Do! Do! Do! Do! Do!
"I won't betray Tangning directly."
"I knew that a long time ago... how about this, that night, Danni has a show to attend and her assistant is on leave. You can be Danni's assistant."
She was Tangning's assistant, yet Lan Xi was lending her to Li Danni...
What other motive could she have? Would Li Danni let her off so easily?
As for Tangning, as soon as she heard she was being bullied, would she still care about the talk show?
"OK, but, I have a request. That night, I need to send my grandfather off."
"I promise you."
After speaking, Lan Xi turned around with a hint of ridicule, "I'll say it again, there is no such thing as absolute loyalty in this world. Everyone is simply doing it for their own motives... "
That night, as Long Jie left Lan Xi's apartment, she was in a daze.
But, when she thought of Tangning, she still had a light in her heart. Before dawn, it was pitch-black, but with her eyes closed, she could still get through it.
Late at night, Tangning returned home from the hotel. Thinking of Long Jie's grandfather, she gave Long Jie a phone call, "Did you pick up grandfather? Are you happy? "
"Yes, I'm very happy," Long Jie replied as she wiped away her tears. "Tangning, you have Zihao by your side. Just pretend I'm on vacation for the next few days..."
"Stop nagging. Do you have enough money to spend?"
"I do." Long Jie almost choked on her tears. "There are only 2 days left until you go on the show. Remember to be careful, Lan Xi isn't easy to deal with."
Hearing Long Jie mention Lan Xi, Tangning's smile finally disappeared. She had always thought Long Jie was too happy to see her grandfather. But, from the way Long Jie spoke, she was definitely suppressing her emotions, not tears of joy...
