Chapter 707: Chapter 737 Where is Bai Oulan?
Meng Pingâs gaze swept over the entire backstage area but he couldnât find Bai Oulan. Impatiently, he interrupted, âWhereâs Bai Oulan?â
Su Yun was taken aback, âDidnât you always call her âelder sister-in-lawâ?â
âNever mind that, just tell me where she is!â Meng Pingâs harsh tone made the atmosphere backstage quite eerie, frightening others into silence.
Su Yun felt dissatisfied but had to hold back.
âGu Jun, have you seen Olan?â
Gu Jun shook his head, âHer part was over before the show ended, I havenât seen her since.â
Meng Ping smiled sinisterly upon hearing this. As a veteran of romance, things happening after the show were a usual affair for him. Was Bai Oulan so eager to meet her lover?
Was she that desperate for a man? To this extent?
Meng Ping stood expressionless on the spot, but his imposing aura made even Su Yun shudder with fear.
âMeng Ping, letâs go back!â Su Yun took the initiative to say.
âNo need!â He brushed off Su Yun, âYou stay here, I have other things to attend to!â After saying this, he strode away under everyoneâs gaze.
After leaving the backstage, Du Xiaosong had already been waiting outside with the little fat man.
âBoss, whatâs up? Just say it,â the little fat man said, rubbing his hands together excitedly, eager to stir up some trouble.
âFind her for me, make sure you find Bai Oulan. Remember, donât alert anyone after you find her, call me, understand?â
âDonât worry, boss, Iâve been here since I was a kid, I know the place.â
After saying this, the little fat man split up with Du Xiaosong to start the search, while Meng Ping settled down on a stone bench. The cold stone bench on a winter night was chilling to the bone, yet Meng Ping seemed unaffected.
He sat as solid as Mount Tai, lighting a cigar for himself and smoking it slowly.
The pungent smell of the cigar entered his nostrils, making him calmer, his eyes growing increasingly melancholic, filled with endless sorrow.
Jiang Shaobo came out from backstage and immediately spotted Meng Ping. No, to be more exact, he spotted the cigar in Meng Pingâs hand.
âWhatâs that? Donât tell me itâs just like the cigars from the movies?â
âYes, want one?â Meng Ping tossed the remaining half-box of cigars directly to Jiang Shaobo, not caring that they were almost impossible to get in the Mainland.
âThatâs really thoughtful!â Jiang Shaobo sat down next to him but jumped up immediately, âHow can you sit in such a cold place?â
âIf you canât sit, then get out!â
âJust for this cigar, Iâll risk it like a gentleman.â Jiang Shaobo gritted his teeth and sat down, lighting one for himself and enjoying the smoke. âEveryone said youâve made a fortune, all in US dollars, I didnât believe it at first, but now it seems itâs true!â
âJust making a living!â Meng Ping said lazily.
Jiang Shaobo suddenly turned, looking seriously at him, âHow come youâve changed so much since you came back from your grandfatherâs?â
âHave I?â
âDefinitely!â
âMaybe itâs because I almost died?â
âAre you such a coward?â
âOf course not!â Meng Ping flicked off some ash, âThen it must be because I was struck by love.â
âHahahaâŠâ Jiang Shaobo seemed to hear a hilarious joke, laughing until he hit his leg, âI canât imagine these words coming from you, struck by love⊠Hahaha⊠Arenât you usually the one striking at love? The number of girls youâve dumped could probably form an enhanced company, right?â
Meng Ping kicked him, irritated, âWatch your words! Whereâs Shen Yu? Donât you two usually stick together?â
