The contract was drafted on the spot, and Hua Ling signed all the relevant agreements without hesitation.
This time, with Xu Fei and Lin Qingxue as her bosses, she no longer feared any unfair clauses hidden in the contract.
After signing, Xu Fei instinctively planned to drive his wife and Hua Ling back, but Hua Ling gave a different response.
“Fei Ge, I haven’t been home in days. My pets are probably starving. Let me head back today!”
Xu Fei naturally agreed, but for safety’s sake, he added, “Who knows if that Hao Ge will try to retaliate? Better let me drive you back, just to be safe.”
Hua Ling nodded, finding it reasonable, and Lin Qingxue agreed without overthinking.
So, the three parted ways, with Xu Fei driving Hua Ling to her residence.
Following Hua Ling’s directions, Xu Fei soon arrived at the destination.
As he drove in, Xu Fei noticed that Hua Ling’s home was in a high-end apartment complex.
Observing the pleasant surroundings, with birds chirping and flowers blooming, and tight security measures, Xu Fei casually remarked, “Didn’t expect you to live in such a nice place.”
Hua Ling gave a faint smile and responded, “Actually, this house was bought by Hao Ge when I first signed with him. Strictly speaking, it’s not really mine.”
The offhand comment struck Xu Fei, who looked utterly shocked. “You’re saying you didn’t buy this house?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong, Fei Ge? I’m not trying to cling to it. I came back today to pack up and move out, so don’t worry.”
Hua Ling nodded blankly, thinking Xu Fei was upset, assuming she wanted to stay in such a nice place.
Xu Fei shook his head without saying more, following Hua Ling into the elevator, but his mind was already racing.
He thought someone as calculating and cunning as Hao Ge, who could forge contracts from years ago to trap Hua Ling, wouldn’t just gift her such a nice house for no reason.
Back when Hao Ge bought the house, he had no way of knowing Hua Ling would rise above the dozens of ordinary artists he had signed.
Unless Hao Ge had some prophetic ability, which Xu Fei obviously didn’t believe.
So, the moment he entered the house, Xu Fei was on high alert.
“Fei Ge, make yourself at home. No need to take off your shoes. It’s too hot today, I’m all sweaty and need to shower and change. Be right back.”
Hua Ling poured Xu Fei a glass of water before hurrying to the bathroom.
Xu Fei had mentioned he’d look around the place, but he wasn’t sightseeing, he was using his x-ray vision to check for anything suspicious.
After inspecting the balcony, kitchen, and other areas, his x-ray vision found nothing unusual.
But Xu Fei wasn’t about to give up. Moments later, as he turned, he spotted something in the living room.
In a corner where a floor-standing air conditioner was placed, hidden in the shadows, was a concealed camera!
