Chapter 125: Pushed to the Brink

For some reason, Lu Luochen had become decadent.

Those who knew the truth felt sorry for him. Before, they thought the girl he loved was an otherworldly fairy who was above worldly concerns.

Now it seemed she was just a money - grabbing woman who had abandoned her lover for wealth and then quickly moved on to someone else.

When Wen Sining heard about all this, she was busy arranging photo shoots for artists and models. She had put in a great deal of effort for the publicity.

Everyone, both openly and secretly, knew that the old man was trying to make up for the public backlash Mo Xin had faced.

Xiao Zhan came out of the photo studio after changing his clothes. His agent thought to himself that it was a good thing he had listened to Xiao Zhan this time.

"Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect you to have such good taste. If it weren't for you, we would have missed this opportunity. There are other artists in the company who also want to give it a try. Could you help make some connections?"

The agent tried to negotiate, but Xiao Zhan shook his head.

"You know how many people Mo Xin has blacklisted this time."

It was quite astonishing. Wen Sining's move was like going against half of the industry. Many people were laughing at her, saying that even with the old man's support, she shouldn't be so arrogant.

Xiao Zhan only knew half of the truth.

Wen Sining was so busy that she hardly had time to rest. Unbeknownst to her, at a far - off airport, an old man in ethnic clothing was carrying a large amount of medicine and some belongings as he made his way into the city.

"Excuse me, is this Xiao Zhan's house?"

The old man was like a newcomer to the city. Looking at the address his grandson had given him and then at the large expanse of houses in front of him, he didn't know what to do.

The guard looked at this strange old man and thought he might be a con artist. He wanted to get rid of him quickly, as many wealthy people lived in this area and they hated being stalked.

"Grandpa, you'd better leave quickly!"

Seeing that the old man had difficulty moving, the guard made a decision.

"Since it seems to be your first time, I'll let you go without calling the police. Just leave quickly."

The old doctor didn't understand. He insisted on showing the paper in his hand to the guard.

There was also a phone number on the back. Maybe it was all true.

During Xiao Zhan's photo shoot, his agent saw a call from the property management on his phone.

Wen Sining was also at the scene. Those present were all people who had helped the company before. After careful selection, a large number of them were left. Only those with a positive image could help the old man with good publicity.

"Ms. Wen, you should take a break!"

The people around her said to the woman who was as busy as a spinning top.

"It's okay. You guys go and get back to work first. We'll have to keep this busy schedule for a few more weeks. I'll give everyone a bonus later."

Wen Sining smiled. It was obvious that she was happy about this.

By the time the photo shoot ended at almost four in the morning, everyone had initially planned to go for a late - night snack. But now, they were all so tired that they just wanted to go home.

Xiao Zhan, however, was extremely excited. He was like a man on a high, running quickly to find Wen Sining.

"Come with me quickly. My grandpa is here."

There was a sparkle in Xiao Zhan's eyes. Although his face was tired, he was extremely energetic.

Wen Sining was also happy. The divine doctor grandpa had actually come to their place.

But after the initial excitement, she tilted her head in confusion.

"How did you know I was..."

Hehe, Xiao Zhan scratched his head naively and without saying a word, he just grabbed her hand and ran.

The agent chased after them. Couldn't these two young masters give him a break? If they ran out so openly and were caught by the media, there would be another huge scandal.

It was really late, so the agent asked the guard at the gate to take care of the old man first.

On the other side, Lu Luochen seemed to have gained a new burst of energy. He was like a spinning top.

With strict policies and a crazy overtime system, he made the whole company operate at a breakneck speed, quickly surpassing the same - period performance percentage.

"You guys go back and rest!"

Lu Luochen's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot. He never thought Yun Chutong would treat him like this.

He hadn't contacted her for several days, but the achievements he had made were so remarkable that the industry had to admit that he was truly outstanding.

The old man also provided support behind the scenes. Although he didn't want to see his grandson suffer, he also wanted him to understand how hard it was for those who had to start from scratch.

Yun Chutong was living in a rich man's villa. Those rich men didn't dote on her like Lu Luochen did.

"Amanda, the gentleman said you need to accompany him to a cocktail party today. This is the dress you'll wear."

When Yun Chutong saw the dress clearly, even the look of grievance on her fair face couldn't be maintained.

"Is this even a dress?"

The agent was a bit speechless. After Sister Fang was sent to jail because of her, no one was willing to take on such a difficult client.

If it weren't for the high price Yun Chutong was paying, the agent wouldn't have come.

"This doesn't seem to be in line with the contract we signed before."

Yun Chutong glanced at the agent, hoping the agent would speak up for her.

But the agent was timid and didn't dare to go against the rich man. The secretary who had brought the dress also looked at the two of them in confusion.

He sneered at her fickleness, "You're not the old Amanda anymore. Don't act like a saint."

"The dress is like this. You can wear it if you want, or not. Maybe the gentleman will like it better that way."

After leaving these insulting words, Yun Chutong clenched the bed sheet tightly.

The agent wanted to say something to comfort her, but was shouted at. Stumbling, the agent was even pushed by Yun Chutong and hit the tea table hard.

"Get out! Get out of here! You're all laughing at me. I don't need your pity."

Yun Chutong was going crazy. She couldn't bear the outside pressure anymore and could no longer maintain her elegant and cold - goddess image.

In desperation, she thought of Lu Luochen.

General Manager Lu, who was working overtime in the company, finally understood the pain of ordinary people who worked overtime. He decided that if he ever had the chance again, he would apologize to those colleagues he had forced to work overtime.

Only in a desperate situation could a person grow quickly.

The phone beside him was set to a special ringtone. Lu Luochen smiled self - deprecatingly.

"I didn't expect it to be a hallucination."

But the ringtone kept ringing stubbornly. Finally, Lu Luochen woke up. He grabbed the phone and answered it without even looking at the caller ID.

The sobbing on the other end rekindled the last bit of love in the man's heart. "Where are you now? I'll come to you right away."

"Send me your location. I won't let those people bully you. I said I'd protect you."

Lu Luochen's blood - shot eyes could hardly see clearly. He had to take a taxi.

He arrived at a magnificent high - rise building. Looking at the towering height, he charged forward without hesitation.
