Chapter 473: Saving face
When Lanni arrived at the restaurant they had arranged, Ah Chen and his fiancée had already arrived. The girl was sitting beside him and appeared to be an obedient and sweet young woman—the exact image that everyone had of her after watching her movies. No one would guess that the very girl who looked innocent was also involved with suspicious activity.
Lanni made her way to the table and apologized as she took a seat opposite them. "I’m sorry I’m late."
"Were you late on purpose? I wouldn’t be surprised." Qiao Linyou asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but Lanni had seen it coming. There was no way she would have expected a woman suspected of such activity to actually be kind. It was going to be a hectic task befriending her, Lanni thought. Even so, she had earned the trust of more impossible people before so this was nothing in comparison.
She let out a chuckle. "How could that be? I’m always the first to purchase the ticket to watch your movie, it would be ironic if I were late to see you in real life."
When the woman looked like her ego had been slightly stroked, Lanni added, "It’s just, I was too excited at the thought of meeting my idol. I couldn’t sleep last night no matter how many sheep I tried to count."
Ah Chen was puzzled to see that Lanni was such an idolizer too. He smiled as he introduced her. "Meet Lanni. My former classmate and your biggest fan."
Qiao Linyou was not interested to know the name of this crazy fan who wouldn’t shut her mouth, but she was puzzled when she heard the name clearly. "Does it happen to be Li Lanni, Ji Xiehan’s girlfriend and Xia Luna’s sister?"
"Yes. That’s me. You know me?" Lanni was not surprised about being recognized by many people but it was indeed shocking that even a famous actress had paid attention to her.
Qiao Linyou shrugged, almost indifferently. "You sure are popular. You clung to the right people."
