Chapter 8

“Three months?!” Zhao Meng widened her eyes in shock . “Miss Qiao Anhao, are you his wife or his mistress? No, you’re worse than a mistress! A mistress would at least get benefits, but what have you gotten? Look at what you’re wearing, which item costs more than a five digit sum? And with the authority he yields, he could easily groom you into an A lister, but instead he gave you a small role in ‘To the End of Time’…”

Qiao Anhao remained silent, her heart trembling with Zhao Meng’s ruthless words . It was the truth, she was indeed worse than a mistress . Even though both roles included sleeping with a guy, a mistress had to be of interest to the man at the very least . But Lu Jinnian was infuriated after she had slept with him .

Qiao Anhao lifted the coffee and downed a big gulp, suppressing the bitterness biting at her . Calmly, as though she were speaking about someone else, she said, “You should know we were forced to get married . There were no feelings involved, lack of communication is normal . “

Zhao Meng and Qiao Anhao have known each other since young, so even though their interests and hobbies differed, they still had a close relationship . Hence, regarding some matters, Zhao Meng understood . She was silent for a long while, staring at Qiao Anhao who remained impassive . Finally, she took a deep breath .

“Qiao Qiao, during middle and high school, there weren’t many girls who could talk to him but you were one of them . He treated you well and had even gone out to play with you several times . Why did you suddenly stop interacting in college? Why did you start treating each other as strangers that had never met before? Many a time he would treat you impatiently, not minding his language . What exactly happened?”

What happened? Qiao Anhao slipped into a trance . She stared at her coffee for a long while before shaking her head slowly . Softly she whispered, “I don’t know, all this while, I’ve been desperately wondering what exactly happened that year . “

Lu Jinnian’s assistant had already parked the car at the main entrance by the time Lu Jinnian exited Jing Chen hotel .

The minute his assistant saw him, he immediately came out to open the back door .

Lu Jinnian entered the car wordlessly . While closing the door, his assistant raised his head to peek at his boss’ expression, only to find his face tight with his lips clenched into a straight line .

The assistant definitely hadn’t expected such an expression! He hurriedly closed the back door in a panic . Returning to his front seat, he started the engine and scooted out .
