After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World

Jiang Zhi stared at the familiar face in a daze.

In her past life and this life, apart from her mother, Lu Mian was the only person who treated her well.

If she lost him…

Jiang Zhi could not tell whether she was acting in or out of character for a moment. She slowly raised her hand to cover his wound. Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

She tried her best to remain calm, but her hands were trembling. Her smile brought even more sorrow than one would feel if she were to cry instead. “Are you kidding me? You speak as if you are leaving me… I, I will take you to the Doctor!”

She tried her best to help the man up, as if she wanted to carry him on her back.

However, she was only a weak princess. Lu Mian’s tall body slid down from her back several times and fell heavily on the grassland.

The depression of despair, together with the darkness, slowly covered the grassland at dusk.

Lu Mian watched her futile movements with almost gentle eyes and hugged her waist. “I’ve already released the signal flare. Someone will come to pick us up.

“We’ll wait here.

“Sing me a song, Nan Nan. I want to rest for a while.”

Jiang Zhi froze. She could not see his expression in the darkness, but she could feel his breathing getting weaker.

Even if she tried her best, she could not catch him. His life was slipping away between her fingers.

She had lost everything and had nowhere to run.

He said that he wanted to hear her sing.

In the silence, she hummed a tune from their childhood. When the wind blew, she crawled into the man’s cold and stiff arms as if she was afraid of the cold and slowly closed her eyes.

“Go to sleep, I’ll accompany you.”

“When the reinforcements arrive, I’ll wake you up… you must wake up. You have to keep your word, you can’t stay asleep.”

..

The wind blew in the grassland.

Director Zheng held his breath in front of the monitor. A few girls from the makeup team looked at Jiang Zhi. Affected by her emotions, they could not help but tear up. They bit their fingers and sobbed softly.

Jiang Zhi’s performance was not one of screaming grief, but of tension-filled despair.

“Cut! Cut! Perfect!”

Director Zheng could not suppress his admiration. He turned to look at Jiang Lu’s eyes filled with jealousy and hatred and shook his head in disappointment.

The crew burst into thunderous applause. The staff members were all immersed in the sad atmosphere and could not quite come back just yet.

Jiang Zhi hugged Lu Mian until she heard the applause, but she still did not pull herself away from the scene.

Lu Mian opened his blue eyes and smiled faintly. He wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said in an intimate and natural tone, “Don’t cry. Your tears are very precious.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Jiang Zhi slapped his fingers away, and she felt a stifling pain in her heart.

In that instant, she suddenly realized her feelings for Lu Mian.

It turned out that she had already fallen in love with Lu Mian, so she did not want to lose him!

Lu Mian took off his costume and walked to Director Zheng’s side to watch the scene on the monitor.

Jiang Zhi stared at his back, her gaze unclear.

Lu Mian seemed to have felt something. When he turned about, she immediately restrained her emotions and walked to Director Zheng’s side.

Director Zheng excitedly called the camera crew and used his phone to record the audition video on the monitor. He did not hesitate to praise her, “Jiang Zhi, that’s great! You and Lu Mian had such great chemistry. Your eyes were especially expressive!

“The characters truly shared mutual history. This is how a relationship should be filmed!”

Director Zheng looked at Jiang Lu, who was standing next to him, and said in a loud voice, “It’s really a pity. If you applied for that role as a princess in the audition, I would have definitely hired you to play it!

“Compared to some unprofessional actors, you surprise me so much!”

Director Zheng kept praising her. The crew seemed to be surrounding Jiang Zhi and completely ignored Jiang Lu’s existence..

Jiang Zhi’s expression was calm. She only cared about discussing with Director Zheng if there was any room for Lu Mian’s scenes to be increased.

Jiang Lu clenched her fingers and stared at Jiang Zhi with a vicious gaze. She coughed twice and said sulkily, “I’m not feeling well. I need to rest.”

Director Zheng raised his head and glanced at her perfunctorily. He waved his hand and said, “Go back and think about the script properly. Focus less on other things!”

The eyes of the surrounding staff were filled with mockery. Jiang Lu was so angry that she threw her costume on the ground and rushed out of the room.

She would get back at Jiang Zhi for this humiliation sooner or later!

Her assistant was busy chasing after Jiang Lu with an umbrella. When she accidentally bumped into her, she immediately roared angrily, “Do you know how to do things?!

“If you can’t do it well, then get lost as soon as possible!”

Jiang Lu returned to the lounge and took off her makeup and hairstyle as she vented her anger. She whispered, “All of you are blind! is she really performing better than me?!”

Seeing that her assistant did not respond, she suddenly shouted, “I’m asking you a question!”

The assistant held her breath. When she heard Jiang Lu’s interrogation, she was stunned and did not know whether she should tell the truth.

Jiang Lu was embarrassed and angry. She grabbed the Thermos flask and threw it at her. The assistant did not have time to dodge. Her forehead instantly became red and swollen, but she did not dare to complain.

“Are you mute?

“Just looking at your bitter face makes me feel unlucky! Pick it up! Pour me some warm water. Do you want me to use cold water to remove my makeup?”

The assistant hurriedly ran out. She bumped into Yin Yue, who had just returned from the hospital to film. Her eyes were red as she repeatedly apologized and ran away.
