Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 599 - What A Messy Circle (23)

After filming for a few months, Lu Zhuo finally completed his scenes.

As the male lead of the show, Lu Zhuo had to attend the completion ceremony of the drama. During the event, many people offered him toasts. He didn’t know how much he drunk. In the end, he called Lin Wenyue in a blur and asked him to bring him back.

“Lu Zhuo?”

Lu Zhuo’s head was a bit heavy. He lifted it with some effort and saw a lovely figure standing in front of him. The elegant smell of the perfume made his head seem heavier.

“Are you okay?”

The sounds from the surrounding became faint as though someone had cupped his ears. His consciousness started dwindling.

Something is not right…

Lu Zhuo held himself up and shook his head. The image in front of his eyes grew clearer and he saw the person standing in front of him.

Kuangdang—

Lu Zhuo fell onto the ground along with his chair. It got the attention of the other people in the room.

Xia Lian reached out and made to help him up. However, someone stopped her and pushed her aside. The person held onto Lu Zhuo’s wrist and lifted him up in a fluid movement.

Ming Shu looked at Lu Zhuo. He was just drunk. It was not a big problem.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Xia Lian. “Miss Xia Lian, do not touch my man.”

Xia Lian clenched her fist secretly. Since there were so many people around them, she controlled her emotions and explained, “I just saw that he was not comfortable so I was concerned. After all, we were filming together for so long.”

Ming Shu smiled mysteriously and left with Lu Zhuo.

Once Ming Shu left, Xia Lian looked down at the small-sized banana in her hand. She grabbed it tightly.

Xu Bei, I will destroy everything that you have.

Ming Shu got Lu Zhuo into a car and then waited outside for a while. When Xia Lian came out alone, she put down her snacks and followed her secretly.

She came back very quickly. Lu Zhuo was staring at the roof of the car in a daze. His hair was messy from his rubbing.

Ming Shu raised her hand and waved it in front of him.

Lu Zhuo’s eyes followed her hand but his gaze was not focused. He seemed to be in a trance and even looked slightly obedient.

“Have you gone stupid from drinking fake alcohol?”

Ming Shu muttered to herself and wanted to put down her hand. Lu Zhuo suddenly grabbed her hand and rubbed his face against it. He murmured loudly, “Wife, your hand is so pretty.”

Ming Shu: “…” He really got stupid from drinking fake alcohol.

Ming Shu wanted to take her hand back, but Lu Zhuo held on to it so tightly she didn’t manage to get it free.

She would not let him drink again.

Ming Shu tried many different ways and after a long time, she saved her hand. She bent down and buckled his seatbelt for him. Ming Shu was afraid that he would touch her when he was drunk so she kept her guard on all the time.

However, Lu Zhuo might really be drunk. He didn’t do anything.

Ming Shu buckled her own seatbelt and looked up. She instantly saw his side profile. His eyes were closed and his breathing was light. His breath smelled of alcohol.

Lu Zhuo was really handsome. He looked much better when he was under the spotlight. At that moment, he was like a superior G.o.d, someone whom you could see but couldn’t touch. He didn’t seem human at all.

Now, Lu Zhuo had lost all his glamor and seemed like a G.o.d that fell into the human world.

Ming Shu gave him a light peck on his lips.

Lu Zhuo groaned and looked as though he was going to wake up. Ming Shu calmly went back to her seat and started the engine.

…

In Huo Ting’s personal apartment…

Xia Lian sat on the sofa with a bad expression on her face. She was only wearing a man’s s.h.i.+rt, which just covered her thigh. You could vaguely see the marks on her neck.

Huo Ting came out of the kitchen and placed a gla.s.s of milk down. He asked her in a low voice, “What happened last night?”

Xia Lian’s hand trembled as she held the gla.s.s of milk and her tears fell suddenly. “Xu Bei… Xu Bei wanted to harm me.”

She didn’t know how she knew that she had that aroma on her, but she was the one that attacked her first and that was why…

If Huo Ting didn’t call her before she came out and arrived at the right time, she would have been in a different situation now.

If something happened to her, how would Huo Ting deal with her?

Xu Bei wanted to make her lose Huo Ting. How could she let her get what she desired? She must hold on to Huo Ting tightly.

Xia Lian forgot that if she didn’t plan to do something to Lu Zhuo, why would Ming Shu attack her?

“Xu Bei, she did it?”

Xia Lian nodded and pretended to reject Huo Ting’s approach. “Mister Huo, you should stop looking for me. I can’t stand it anymore. I am afraid… I am afraid that one day, I will…”

Huo Ting’s heart hurt as he hugged Xia Lian. “I will protect you.”

“How will you protect me? Xu Bei has the Xia family. Can you do anything to her?” Xia Lian shook her head bitterly. “Mister Huo, just let me go.”

Ultimately, the Xia family was not strong enough. If the Xia family was as wealthy as the Xu family, she would not be in this situation.

“Don’t say such things. Don’t worry, I will get justice for you. No one will dare to bully you from now on.”

Xia Lian finally became quiet under Huo Ting’s promise.

…

“Boss Xu, we will go to the International Plaza now.” The secretary pa.s.sed a stack of doc.u.ments to Ming Shu. “The car is ready, this is the information required later.”

Ming Shu took the doc.u.ments and scanned through them casually. Then, she continued looking down and texted Lin Wenyue to ask him if Lu Zhuo was awake.

Lin Wenyue was really busy too. He just called Ming Shu directly.

“Boss Xu, since you are so concerned about him, why don’t you call him and ask him personally?”

“What if he misunderstands me and thinks that I like him?” Ming Shu answered blatantly.

“…” You do like him!

Lin Wenyue didn’t want to discuss this topic with Ming Shu. Ming Shu would always divert the topic whenever they talked about this. “I have asked the a.s.sistant to go over there just now. He is not awake yet. He just finished filming so let him rest for two days.”

“Boss Xu.” The secretary signaled to Ming Shu to tell her that the elevator had arrived.

Ming Shu hung up the call and went down the building to get into the car.

There was a traffic jam on the way to the International Plaza. Ming Shu saw a delicious-looking shop and asked the secretary to wait in the car for her while she went down to get some food.

The minute Ming Shu finished her orders, she heard the transparent windows of the shop vibrating and all kinds of alarm started ringing. It was really shrill.

Ming Shu looked up. An explosion went off where the jam was. Her car was gone and frantic pa.s.sersby ran amidst the smoke.

Ming Shu called her secretary as she ran out.

A cold voice signaled to her that no one was answering the call.

Ming Shu stood under the bright sunlight. The sunlight shone from above her. She looked at the scene with a cold expression.

“Boss Xu.” The secretary’s voice sounded beside her. She was panting heavily.

Ming Shu tilted her head and looked at her. The secretary’s face was filled with fear and her eyes were red. Ming Shu canceled her call secretly and placed her handphone back into her pocket. She took out Little Beastie.

Little Beastie hummed and continued sleeping.

The secretary was really lucky. There was a call for Ming Shu. Since the traffic didn’t seem to be moving any time soon, the secretary turned off the engine and went to look for Ming Shu. That was how she escaped death.

However, the car was gone.

“Someone wants to kill me.” Ming Shu glanced at the busy crowd. Her voice had a hint of a smile on it.

“Boss Xu, what did you say?” There was too much of a commotion so the secretary didn’t hear what Ming Shu said.

Ming Shu slapped her thigh. “Oh, my bread.”

The secretary: “…”

Ming Shu turned around and returned to the shop to take her bread. The attendant looked at her strangely. She must be thinking that she was a weird person who remembered to take her bread even after such a crazy thing happened.
