Yang Li’s jaw dropped.
“Master, comparing Miss Shanshan and Xia Weibao is like comparing apples to oranges.”
Lu Hualiang’s face turned instantly as cold as ice.
The temperature in the study plummeted; the air felt frozen, as if snow was drifting thousands of miles away!
Yang Li, terrified by the dreadful low pressure, started to break out in a cold sweat.
Aware that he had stepped into a minefield, his calves began to tremble even more.
“What I meant was that Miss Shanshan is hardworking, resilient, and virtuous, a good role model in the entertainment industry. How could Xia Weibao compare to her?”
Lu Hualiang’s face softened a bit.
Feeling the oppressive weight on his shoulders lift, Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he realize his back was drenched in sweat.
How could he forget that his master’s true nature was that of a ferocious wolf!
He wasn’t someone to be teased.
“How has Shanshan been doing lately?”
Thinking of a certain figure, his previous hostility faded, leaving a softness in his heart.
“Miss Shanshan is doing well, she’s even landed a role as the second female lead in a web series recently.”
“Why settle for a web series, and just the second female lead at that, when she could have been in a big production from me?”
Despite his words of disdain, his expression suggested otherwise, “Which web series?”
Yang Li hesitated, “It’s the second female lead in… ‘Allure.’”
After saying this, he looked at Lu Hualiang with sympathy.
Master, you’re on your own.
Miss Shanshan hates beautiful women, and your wife is like a celestial being—if they end up fighting…
You’ll have a fire in your backyard, then let’s see whom you protect.
Lu Hualiang’s temples throbbed twice; he clearly saw the issue too and felt a headache coming on.
Yang Li thought he should be a good Special Assistant and relieve his master’s worries, so he quickly made a suggestion.
“Master, why not arrange a meal for Miss Shanshan and the young madam to get to know each other?”
Lu Hualiang’s headache worsened; Xia Weibao wouldn’t even see him, let alone meet.
She had been avoiding him for half a year already.
“Master, I have a suggestion. You said Xia Weibao’s medical skills are astonishing; perhaps she could treat Miss Shanshan and your wife’s illnesses…”
Lu Hualiang’s expression became grave in an instant, his eyes deepening.
Xia Weibao, huh…
He had to admit, when he saw Xia Weibao heal his wound, he had thought about asking her to treat Shanshan.
But…
“Let’s hold off on that for now.”
Xia Weibao was too enigmatic; he needed to observe her for a while longer.
And just because she could treat burns didn’t mean she could cure other illnesses.
What if it was just a coincidence, and she only knew a remedy for burns?
And Shanshan’s illness…
He had almost searched the entire world, and no one could cure her.
It wasn’t like they hadn’t tried traditional Chinese medicine; it just never worked.
It wasn’t just Shanshan, there was also…
Thinking of this, Lu Hualiang’s heart clenched with a dull pain.
Filled with guilt and tender care.
“Right, the selection for this year’s beauty rankings in the entertainment industry starts next month, doesn’t it?”
He didn’t pay attention to the entertainment circle, but because the most important people to him were there, he kept an eye on everything.
“Yes,” said Yang Li, his eyes twitching, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition…
“Get Shanshan on the list.”
Yang Li, “…”
This was undoubtedly the most difficult, most soul-destroying task he had ever been asked to carry out—far worse than lying through his teeth to say his master was approachable and had a good temper!
