The Lu family in Rongcheng was a super family in Siyu's original manga.
The Lu family had been around for hundreds of years and had a deep foundation. However, they kept a low profile and almost no one knew about them. People only knew that the Lu family had an unshakable industrial empire, but they didn't know that they also had a wide range of connections in the military and political world. Every member of the Lu family was either rich or noble. Many people would do anything to show their faces in front of the Lu family.
However, in Siyu's novel "Superstar's Love Wedding", Ji Lin was the male lead. The story also revolved around Ji Lin's journey in the entertainment industry. The Lu family was only briefly mentioned. It was just a background story in the original manga and didn't go into detail.
In recent years, the Lu family, which originally focused on the industrial industry, began to quietly enter the entertainment industry. The Xinfei Company that Ji Lin signed with was bought by the new company Huanyi, which was backed by the Lu family.
Although Huanyi was a new company, it had the Lu family as its backing. At least they didn't have to worry about a lack of money and connections. Yu Ling's proposal made Siyu a little interested.
Siyu remembered that the original owner of her body didn't have any experience. She was tricked into signing an unequal five-year contract by a random modeling company. She wanted to terminate the contract? She had to work for five years and let the company exploit her. Otherwise, she had to pay thirty million yuan! Not a cent less!
Thirty million yuan! Siyu clicked her tongue. How could she get so much money in such a short time? Unless she sold her body — but with her sickly appearance, who would want to take a fancy to her?
Thinking of this, Siyu looked at Yu Ling and said sincerely, "Sister Ling, I know you're doing this for my own good. Thank you. I'll think about it."
Yu Ling thought that she would agree immediately. After all, such a good opportunity didn't come every day. Jumping to Huanyi was better than staying in this small agency, right?
"Then the audition for the MV …" Yu Ling asked.
"Let me think about it," Siyu replied vaguely.
Siyu was too embarrassed to ask if she could not go. In the original manga, Ji Lin secretly manipulated the audition to give the female lead role to Zhou Siyu, squeezing out several other strong competitors. One of the competitors was even a member of a rather famous girl group. After the audition, this person commented a few words on Weibo, causing the fans to be indignant. They kept clamoring that there was something shady about the audition.
Originally, if Zhou Siyu had filmed well, this matter would have passed. However, she was not a professional, so her filming was a mess. Not only did it make people believe that "if she could get into the industry at this level, she must have gotten in through the back door," it almost ruined Ji Lin's new album that he had high hopes for.
When Ji Lin's fans saw that the music video for the main lead had been shot in such a ridiculous manner, who were they trying to fool? Of course, the fans couldn't bear to blame their idols, so they all pointed their fingers at Zhou Siyu. She was the only one who was scolded by all the people in the world.
In the end, it was Ji Lin who took care of his sister and took the initiative to take the blame. He suppressed the public opinion and the storm finally came to an end. However, because Ji Lin's action of protecting Zhou Siyu was too obvious, everyone began to imagine the relationship between the two of them. There were all kinds of unbearable speculations. Therefore, although the incident of the MV was covered up on the surface, Zhou Siyu was immediately blacklisted by Ji Lin's fans. From then on, they didn't really like her.
Zhou Siyu was sensitive and had low self-esteem. After this incident, she resented Ji Lin. Especially after she found out that Ji Lin was her stepbrother, the huge gap between the two of them drove her crazy …
Siyu sighed. Of course, she couldn't tell Yu Ling about this. She also didn't want to walk down the same path as Zhou Siyu. Ji Lin's female fans were very crazy. If she offended them, she wouldn't have a good life.
After the discussion, Siyu walked out of Yu Ling's office. She was about to take the elevator downstairs, but when the elevator door opened, she saw that there were already a few people standing inside. The leader of the group was a young man dressed in a punk style with metal ornaments all over his body. He had his head down and was playing with his phone — it was Ji Lin, who had just finished filming a commercial.
Sensing that the elevator had stopped, Ji Lin was finally willing to move his gaze away from his phone screen. He raised his head to look at the elevator entrance and was stunned by what he saw.
Siyu had looked up Ji Lin's information, so she naturally recognized him. When she saw Ji Lin's expression, she took a step back and gestured for them to go down first while she waited for the next shift.
"No, nothing …" Ji Lin spoke first. He raised his hand and pressed the button to open the door. As soon as he spoke, he realized that he was stuttering. He quickly cleared his throat, looked at the ground, and continued, "Come in. There aren't many people here anyway."
When Xiao Ai, who was standing behind Ji Lin, heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Don't think that she couldn't hear the excitement in Ji Lin's voice. Wasn't it just a meeting with a girl? Did he have to lose his composure? Xiao Ai felt like an old mother who was worried that her son would be fascinated by a beauty.
Seeing that Ji Lin insisted, Siyu didn't argue. She thanked him graciously and stepped in.
In contrast to Ji Lin's sneaky behavior, Siyu was much calmer.
After all, Ji Lin was the son of her author. What was wrong with meeting him?
However, Siyu didn't know that Ji Lin's thoughts were already in a mess at that moment …
This was his sister … He had never met her when he was young. He only found out about her when an old nanny of the Ji family accidentally let it slip …
In the beginning, Ji Lin could still restrain himself and secretly look at the people next to him. Later, he became more and more open. His gaze was almost fixed on Siyu's side profile. As he looked, he wondered why Siyu's face was so pale. Did she not eat well or did she not sleep well? Was her illness serious? What kind of supplements should he buy for her in the future? If he wanted to give her something, what should he do?
Unknowingly, Young Master Ji's thoughts had gone astray. He happily planned his sister's health for the next five years.
Ji Lin couldn't be blamed for thinking too much. He was really scared when Siyu vomited blood last time. In the past, he had only read about Siyu's poor health from the information. That day, it was the first time he experienced it. Siyu's health was really poor. In fact, she was as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
Ji Lin came from a wealthy family, but he had never felt any familial affection since he was young. Ji Lin's father was a successful businessman. He was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. In a year, he spent less than a month at home. Moreover, Ji Lin was precocious and intelligent. He knew a long time ago that his father's mistresses were enough to form a football team. The only reason he didn't have any illegitimate children to shake his status was because his father was physically handicapped. He was the only son in his life.
As for his mother … Ji Lin laughed mockingly. It should be said that his and Siyu's mother was a qualified lady, but she wasn't a qualified mother. She seemed to regard marrying into a rich family as her life's mission. She didn't even hesitate to abandon her biological daughter. When she got what she wanted with the child in her belly, she threw Ji Lin, this "tool", to the back of her mind. She spent all her time at various parties and rarely came home. She didn't even talk about educating Ji Lin — that was the nanny's job.
The so-called family was nothing more than this.
Therefore, no one knew how happy Ji Lin was when he coincidentally found out that he had a blood-related sister. Even in his dreams, he wanted to have a normal family who would occasionally care about him. They didn't need to care too much, as long as they didn't treat him as if he was nothing. His parents were never willing to do such a simple request.
Thinking of this, Ji Lin's eyes dimmed. However, when his eyes met Siyu's, they lit up again.
Ji Lin had already heard from Yu Ling that Siyu insisted on filming even though she was sick. He felt proud that they were indeed siblings. Their attitude towards work was exactly the same. If that was the case, then Siyu would definitely accept him as her younger brother!
Young Master Ji nodded his head fiercely in his heart with a mysterious self-confidence that he didn't know where it came from.
As for Siyu, who was the one receiving this scorching gaze, she suddenly felt a chill run down her back. She couldn't help but shiver.
This subtle movement was immediately noticed by Ji Lin, who was always paying attention to her.
In the next second, Siyu felt a shadow over her head. Then, a leather jacket that still had the owner's body temperature draped over her body and wrapped her up.
Siyu looked up in surprise, only to see that this "Comrade Lei Feng" had already withdrawn his hand. He withdrew his gaze and put on a very serious look.
Young Master Ji Lin realized that Siyu was looking at him and couldn't help but smile. However, he still pretended to be indifferent. "Wear more clothes if you're cold. This is for you. You don't have to return it."
Siyu: … But it's summer. She's hot.
At this moment, the elevator reached the ground floor. As soon as the door opened, Ji Lin stepped out first as if he wanted to hide something. He raised his hand at Siyu without looking back. His posture was very cool.
… If you ignored the fact that he walked with the same hands and feet.
Siyu, who was left behind, suddenly felt a little worried. This kid … isn't stupid, right?
As soon as he left Siyu's line of sight, Ji Lin couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Ai, who had witnessed the whole process, saw this and said faintly, "Brother Ji, do you know what you look like right now?"
Ji Lin came back to his senses and asked, "What do I look like?"
Xiao Ai said, "Like a male peacock who wants to put his wings in front of her."
Ji Lin: "…" Ning Xiao Ai, you don't want half a year's salary, right?
