Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

Chapter 448 An Xiulan in Predicament (2)

"Zhaolin, is everything okay?" Song Yifei asked her husband who appeared as if he has just seen a ghost. He was good a few minutes ago. But when he recieved the first phone call, his mood instantly changed. And now Amanda's call made things even more aggravated. She wondered what was happening in the office that her husband was affected this much. 

"No, "Lu Zhaolin answered his wife. "Nothing is going right."

"Did something happen in the office?" Song Yifei asked him. "Do you need to leave for office now?"

"It's not about work, "Lu Zhaolin answered her. "It is about our Xiulan."

Song Yifei froze as she heard An Xiulan's name. 

"What about her?" Song Yifei asked. 

"From what I heard is that she got into a fight in the office lobby, "Lu Zhaolin told her. "It was a cat fight or as people explain it."

"Two women?" Song Yifei asked. 

"Yes, "Lu Zhaolin nodded his head. 

"Could it be that her boyfriend was getting stolen?" Song Yifei asked. "Zhaolin, if it was the case, we should know. How can a second woman steal her man?"

"It was a middle-aged woman, Feifei, "Lu Zhaolin said, pissed. "And what boyfriend are you talking about?"

"A middle-aged woman?" Song Yifei was shocked. "It doesn't make any sense.

"And you know what? This middle-aged woman is a big celebrity. Not just this, our firm was getting a lot of heat from her fans for the last few weeks and now all of this will aggravate, "Lu Zhaolin sighed. "She was fighting a case against her which was withdrawn in the end. Now this has happened. If the news leaked out, it's going to create a lot of problems for Xiulan. She just started practicing in China. She put her career in jeopardy."

"I am sure there is a reason behind this, "Song Yifei said. "An Xiulan is a reasonable child. She has never involved herself in fights. She has a clean childhood. Zhaolin, if she resorted to this extent, I am sure that there is a big reason behind it. You need to talk to her."

Song Yifei could not believe that An Xiulan would start a fight with anyone just because she was mad. It didn't suit her personality. There would be a big explanation for everything that happened today. 

"I am telling you to talk to her. Do not scold her, "Song Yifei told her husband. "Be nice and gentle to her. Ask her if she was injured. Or should we come to her?"

Lu Zhaolin looked at his wife, annoyed. "Why did you think I will scold my daughter? I also love her."

"You hate brats, "Song Yifei said. "I know how hard you will be on Lu Xuan if he would get into fights. I am just telling you girls can't withstand such similar behavior. Be gentle to your daughter. And don't dare to scold her or I will tell Xiaobao that you scolded his Jiejie."

Lu Zhaolin gave his wife an annoyed look. Of course, he was not going to scold An Xiulan. There was heaven and earth difference between An Xiulan and Lu Xuan. Instead of getting mad at her, he was worried about her. 

He called An Xiulan but she did not receive his calls. He called her thrice before getting a text from her. 

AX; [Dad, I'm sleeping. Can I talk to you tomorrow? I will explain.]

The message was short. It did nothing to ease his worries. However, he did not force her. 

LZ: [Alright, we will talk tomorrow. Have a peaceful sleep.]

"What happened?" Song Yifei asked. 

He showed her the message. 

"She must be exhausted, "Song Yifei said. Taking a pause, she added, "Should you call An Qinyan? She will tell us if Xiulan is not well."

Lu Zhaolin nodded his head. He dialed An Qinyan's number. She picked on the third bell. 

"Hello?" An Qinyan said from the other side. 

"Hello, "Lu Zhaolin said. There was a bit of awwkardness talking to his ex-wife. "How are you?"

"I am fine. What about your health?" An Qinyan asked. 

"It's getting better, "Lu Zhaolin answered. "I called to ask about Xiulan."

"About Lanlan?" An Qinyan asked. "What happened? Is she not taking your calls? She is not at home. She just texted me to tell that she is staying with Xueyun." 

"Oh, "Lu Zhaolin reacted. 

"Maybe that's why she didn't take your call, "An Qinyan told him. 

Song Yifei gestured at her husband to not talk anymore and hang up the call. 

"Okay, I understand, "Lu Zhaolin answered. 

"Lu Zhaolin, how much work are you giving my daughter that she doesn't even have time to come home?" An Qinyan complained. "She is always so tired from office work. Be gentle on your daughter."

"Okay, I will keep this in mind, "Lu Zhaolin said. "Goodnight."

An Qinyan looked at the phone in her hand weirdly. 

"Why was he calling?" Gu Yanxi grumbled. 

An Qinyan said, "I don't know but he was weird this time."

"He is always weird, Yanyan."

On the other hand, Song Yifei said, "Xiulan didn't go home. It means Qinyan has no idea about it. Let's wait for Xiulan to tell this to her mom. I think it will be better or otherwise Qinyan will worry so much."

"Why don't you call Xueyun?" Lu Zhaolin said. "She will tell you how Xiulan is doing?"

"I don't think we should do that, "Song Yifei said. "If Xiulan said, she would talk to your tomorrow. Then, I believe we should wait for tomorrow."

Moreover, she had an inkling that An Xiulan would not be with Song Xueyun too. If her assumption was right, Xiulan would be with Han Zixin at the moment. If she told this to her husband, he would throw a tantrum or insist on bringing his daughter to his house. Poor Xiulan would not get peace this way again. 

"Tomorrow seem too far, wife."

"I know, hubby." 

now only tomorrow would tell the truth.
