Luosang laughed bitterly. An City only brought her painful memories. There was no way she could enjoy herself there.
They arrived at An City at eleven o’clock. The current CEO of Yuxi picked them up himself, and Luosang had lunch with them before heading to Yuxi together. At the door, almost all the senior executives and company artists were there to greet and welcome Xiao Si.
Ji Nuanyi was there as well. It was cold in An City, so she was wearing a big red puffer jacket, and it was easy to spot her. “Luosang, I’ve waited so long for you. Mr. Xiao, I should address you as Director Xiao now.”
“Thanks to your help, of course. Miss Ji, I have to congratulate you on becoming one of Yuxi’s shareholder’s now, too.” Xiao Si shook her hand.
“The same goes to you, Mr. Xiao. We can meet in the boardroom later. I have to sign the contract with Luosang first,” Ji Nuanyi said.
Xiao Si nodded.
Ji Nuanyi and Luosang took the elevator up and arrived at her own floor. Ji Nuanyi’s manager fetched the contract.
Luosang glanced briefly at the contract. Usually, a voice actor didn’t get much for their work, but Ji Nuanyi offered her extremely good benefits and did not restrict the scope of her work. “Nuanyi, I really appreciate this. I promise I won’t let you down.”
“Have you ever imagined yourself back in An City?” Ji Nuanyi smiled when she saw Luosang get emotional. “Luosang, you don’t always get repaid for being kind. Do you have anything going on tonight? Let me take you someplace.”
Luosang asked, “Where?”
“Since you’re in An City, we should go pay Zhong Yi a visit.” Ji Nuanyi raised her brows suggestively. “She is our common enemy. Now that the Yi Group is no longer the same, her popularity has gone down a lot as well. Mr. Nian has given word that he wants her to be boycotted in the industry. She’s in a bad state now. It’s our time to return the favor.”
“Of course I’ll go.” Luosang’s eyes lit up. She would never forget how Zhong Yi treated her in the past.
“Are you going to visit your father in jail in the afternoon?” Ji Nuanyi asked.
“It’s a little out of the way from here. I was planning to head down tomorrow. I’ll… go back to my old villa in the afternoon,” Luosang said sadly.
Ji Nuanyi nodded. “Remember to update Mr. Xiao about your plans.”
…
After leaving Yuxi, Luosang took the bus by herself to the old house. She used to take the same bus every day to school. It took her about an hour to reach her estate. The place looked the same, but Luosang didn’t feel like it was home anymore.
After ten minutes, she was back at her place. It was muscle memory for her. After what happened then, she had sold the villa at a low price. She didn’t even know the owners now. She stood outside quietly staring at the building as the past flashed before her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears.
Someone opened the gates of the house, and she quickly turned to leave. The person called out to her, “Luosang?”
She turned to see Zeng Zhun. Her face was aghast, and she quickened her pace.
“Luosang, wait up!” Zeng Zhun caught up with her.
Luosang turned and said coldly, “What are you doing here? Is Yi Jingxi here as well?”
“He’s not here. He doesn’t have time to come back, especially with what’s happening to the company.” Zeng Zhun laughed bitterly. “I’m only back to fetch some things for him.”
“My house was sold to Yi Jingxi?” Luosang asked in disbelief.
