Chapter 107 Must Go
Afraid that they would wait too long, Li Lu came out without even removing her makeup and went to the Sichuan restaurant to keep the appointment.

When Li Lu arrived, the dishes were just being served. The table was red and looked very appetizing. However, she had to control her figure after joining the crew and basically didn't eat dinner. She could only enjoy the big table...

"Sit down." Gu Qingyin waved with a smile.

Of course Li Lu wanted to sit next to Huo Xinghai, but the seats on both sides of him were already full. She hesitated and sat down next to Gu Qingyin.

Everyone started to eat. Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen ate heartily, Li Lu only drank tea, and Huo Xinghai only ate a few bites of vegetables and lean meat. The contrast was sharp.

Gu Qingyin shook her head and sighed, "Being a celebrity is not something that ordinary people can do. It's too painful to just look at it and not eat it."

Li Lu came here to build a good relationship with Gu Qingyin. Hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Every industry has its limitations. Being a celebrity does require more, but we also get more. It can be said that there are pros and cons."

Gu Qingyin nodded in agreement, "Ms. Li is very dedicated."

Li Lu smiled generously, "Sister Qing, you can just call me by my name." She glanced at Huo Xinghai, "Xinghai and I have a very good relationship, you don't have to be so polite."

Gu Qingyin smiled, "I know that Xinghai has always regarded you as his idol, and you can be regarded as his dream enlightenment mentor."

Huo Xinghai recalled with some emotion: "It was after I listened to your songs and watched your performances that I decided to become a musician."

Li Lu's smile was a little stiff. What the hell, the dream enlightenment mentor, made her sound very old, when she was only ten years older than Huo Xinghai! They were still the same generation!
Gu Qingyin nodded, "In the music circle, Li Lu, you are Xinghai's senior. He is young and knows little, so he needs to rely on you seniors to take care of him." She replaced wine with tea and raised the cup to toast Li Lu.

Li Lu almost managed to maintain the smile on her face, but she had to drink the tea.

She has been in the industry for so many years and married into a wealthy family for two years. How could she not see that Gu Qingyin did it on purpose? Gu Qingyin was warning her in disguise not to covet her son.

Li Lu sneered in her heart, but your son has to listen to you.

She lowered her eyes, put down the water cup, and adjusted her expression, which was three parts resentment, three parts pity, three parts grievance, and one part stubbornness. She acted like the little white flower who was bullied by the evil mother-in-law in the TV drama.

Then, she looked up, past Gu Qingyin, and at Huo Xinghai.

When Huo Xinghai turned around, he was so frightened that he almost spat out the food in his mouth. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to eat, feeling shocked and scared in his heart - Li Lu seemed to really like him!

He felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gu Qingyin say that just now, and felt that he was being a little self-indulgent. He didn't expect... He had to admit that his eyes were really sharp!

Li Lu didn't expect Huo Xinghai to react like this. Her expression changed, and then she lowered her head as if nothing had happened, but her heart was filled with waves.

Could it be that she misunderstood? Huo Xinghai didn't actually like her? Li Lu couldn't help but doubt herself, but then she thought it was impossible. If he didn't like her to the extreme, why would he give her a ghost doll as a gift?
It must be because Huo Xinghai was embarrassed to respond to her in front of Gu Qingyin. Yes, because Gu Qingyin didn't agree with them being together.

Li Lu thought she had found a reason, and her heart settled down again.

After eating and drinking, Gu Qingyin had the dishes removed and replaced with teapots.

After the waiter left, she looked at Huo Xingchen and said, "Look, Mom will only teach you once."

Huo Xingchen immediately sat up straight and looked at it attentively.

Gu Qingyin raised her hand and made hand gestures, deliberately slowing down her pace.

Huo Xinghai and Li Lu also looked over, but after just two seconds, they closed their eyes due to the unbearable soreness. When they recovered and opened their eyes again, the teaching was over.

"Have you learned it?" Huo Xingchen nodded confidently.

Gu Qingyin smiled and said, "Put down a ban for me to see."

Huo Xingchen rubbed his hands together, walked to the door of the room, and started to make hand gestures imitating Gu Qingyin's movements just now.

Huo Xinghai continued to stare unwillingly, and his eyes began to swell and ache again, but it was much better than before, and he did not shed tears this time.

Li Lu was much more sensible. She knew she couldn't watch this thing, so she simply turned her head to look at Gu Qingyin and asked in doubt: "Sister Qing... is she a heavenly master?"

Gu Qingyin nodded with a smile and said, "We came here mainly to save you."

Li Lu subconsciously glanced at Huo Xinghai, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart, "What do you mean?"

Huo Xinghai scratched his head with guilt and embarrassment, "What I mean is, we have to send the little ghost you raised away, otherwise you will die at the hands of the little ghost sooner or later."

Li Lu's face turned pale, and her first reaction was to refuse, "No! That's the ghost doll I worship, why are you giving it away!"

"But if I don't send you away, you're going to die." Huo Xinghai persuaded her with both emotion and reason, "I was the one who gave you the ghost doll. I can't just watch you die. I have to save you."

"I don't need it!" Li Lu stood up and refused loudly, "Since I chose to support you, I am ready to bear all the consequences. I don't need you to save me!"

Huo Xinghai was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at her, "Did you...know that this day would come?"

There was a flash of discomfort in Li Lu's eyes, she was not a fool. During the two years in the wealthy family, she came into contact with a lot of things about metaphysics. Many wealthy businessmen offered things for smooth business and good fortune.

When Huo Xinghai sent the ghost doll to her, she knew what it was. She was conflicted, but in the end, ambition overcame fear. She wanted to become famous again and become a superior person, and the little ghost could shorten the time it took her to climb up.

Huo Xinghai pursed his lips and said, "Then do you know that your keeping little ghosts in captivity will also have a bad influence on me."

Li Lu's eyes widened, "Didn't you do that voluntarily? You took the initiative to give me the ghost doll!"

Huo Xinghai nodded and sighed, "It seems that you know it." But she never mentioned it, and even tacitly allowed him to bear the consequences.

Li Lu was puzzled. "Don't you know? Your mother is a heavenly master, how could you not know the interests involved?"

Huo Xinghai smiled bitterly and said nothing more. The goddess filter he had for Li Lu in his youth was shattered.

"He really doesn't know." Gu Qingyin said calmly, "Among the three brothers, only Xingchen learned the mysterious art. Before Xinghai brought the doll back, he knew nothing about it."

In order to make money, Xia Zelin said whatever was best for him and never mentioned the consequences he would have to bear.

Li Lu’s face turned pale, “How is it possible…” Her mind was in a mess and she had no idea how to react.

"So," Gu Qingyin said without question, "For the safety of both of you, this little devil must be sent away."
