Xu Qingwan had never experienced any great storms in her life.
In her previous life, she had met Ji Lin right after her debut on a talent show. At that time, Ji Lin was already a superstar in the entertainment industry. With Ji Lin's protection, Xu Qingwan's path to stardom was smooth. Within a few years, she had become an A-list actress. Although Ji Lin's fans were not optimistic about this relationship and there were always people who attacked her, all the storms were blocked by Ji Lin. Xu Qingwan just had to obediently stay in Ji Lin's arms and let him pamper and protect her.
The only one who truly frightened Xu Qingwan was Ji Lin's stepsister — Zhou Siyu. Zhou Siyu was a lunatic. She only wanted to drag Ji Lin into hell. Naturally, she would not let Xu Qingwan, Ji Lin's official girlfriend, off the hook. For this reason, Zhou Siyu was willing to do anything. She was even willing to betray herself to climb up the social ladder in order to completely suppress her enemy.
And because of Ji Lin's guilt towards his sister, Zhou Siyu almost got her way several times.
That reckless madness terrified Xu Qingwan. Even though she had been reborn, Xu Qingwan could not shake off that bone-deep fear. Once she saw Zhou Siyu's familiar pale face, it was as if she had seen a ghost. She was so scared that she just wanted to run away.
But unfortunately, Ji Lin in this life was neither cold nor warm to her. She could not hide in his arms.
"Zhou Siyu, you shouldn't be here …" Xu Qingwan's finger trembled as she pointed at the confused Siyu. Her voice was very loud and attracted the attention of other people in the store. However, Xu Qingwan did not notice and only stared at Siyu.
Siyu was confused. She had never seen this girl before, but she seemed to know her. Could she be an old acquaintance of the original body? So she asked politely, "May I ask who you are …?"
Xu Qingwan choked and realized that he had overreacted. That's right. At this moment, Zhou Siyu and her were complete strangers. Why should she be afraid?
However, Xu Qingwan still felt vaguely uneasy. She had clearly cut off a great opportunity for Siyu, but Xu Qingwan still felt that it was not enough. As long as Siyu still appeared, she felt that she had not been ruthless enough.
She gritted her teeth and thought that she was preparing for a rainy day. In any case, this vicious woman would turn around to deal with her sooner or later. It was reasonable for her to strike first and gain the upper hand! This was to protect herself and Ji Lin!
With that thought, Xu Qingwan slowly adjusted her breathing and looked away from Siyu. She said, "I'm sorry. I … I've seen you once before. Maybe you don't remember, so I won't disturb you."
"Wait a minute, you …" Siyu saw that Xu Qingwan was being secretive and was a little suspicious. She was about to reach out to grab her and ask her to clarify. However, who knew that just as she raised her hand, Xu Qingwan looked as if she was facing a great enemy and shouted, "Don't touch me!" She slapped Siyu's hand away and turned to run away.
"Ouch —" Siyu retracted her hand in pain. She looked down and saw that there was an obvious red mark on the back of her white hand.
Her skin was very sensitive. The slightest bump would leave a mark. Her back had hit the railing in the car accident, and the bruises on her back had not completely subsided. Xu Qingwan's attack just now was a reaction to stress. She did not hold back at all, so now Siyu only felt a burning pain on the back of her hand.
"Siyu, what's going on? I just heard a commotion here … What happened to your hand?" Yu Ling had just gone to the cashier outside to pay the bill when she came back. She was shocked to see Siyu rubbing her hand and frowning.
Siyu smiled bitterly. She did not understand what the girl meant. When she saw her, she was like a cat seeing a mouse. "It's nothing. I just had a little conflict with someone. That person has already left."
Yu Ling quickly took her to a nearby pharmacy and bought some ointment to help her apply it. At the same time, she criticized Siyu for letting her go. "She ran away after hurting you. She's definitely not a good person."
Siyu said, "She seems to know me, but I don't have any impression of her. Maybe we had a conflict in the past …"
Yu Ling snorted coldly in her heart. Siyu's personality was too soft. She was as weak and white as a little rabbit. Who could she have a conflict with? Ever since Siyu saved her daughter, Yu Ling looked at her with eight layers of filters. No matter how she looked at her, she felt that Siyu was easy to bully. She wanted to protect her at all times. Therefore, in Yu Ling's heart, only other people could bully Siyu. There was no reason for Siyu to bully others.
Therefore, Yu Ling did not hesitate to put the blame on Xu Qingwan.
"Don't worry about these annoying things. I'll keep an eye out for you in the future. Don't worry." Yu Ling applied the ointment for Siyu and looked at the red mark on the back of her hand regretfully. Such a beautiful hand was ruined by this red mark. The person who hurt her was really despicable. "Let's go. I'll take you to get styled. It's not over yet."
Siyu said, "… Sister Ling, please let me go …"
On the other side, Xu Qingwan rushed out of the mall. As the cold wind blew, her mind gradually cleared.
She stood there in a daze for a long time. Then, as if she had finally made up her mind, she dialed a number saved on her phone. It rang a few times before someone picked up.
"Hello, it's me." Xu Qingwan pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that you could help me get the role in Director Liang's' Lethal Beauty '? … Yes, I've thought about it. I want to act in that movie. I can't give that role to anyone else! "
Xu Qingwan didn't know what was said on the other end, but she quickly took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can help me get the role, I'll listen to you."
…
On the day of Huanyi's banquet, the hotel where the banquet was held was almost completely surrounded by the media. Countless cameras and cannons were aimed at the entrance. As one artist after another entered, the reporters became more and more excited. They could already predict that the next day's headlines would be dominated by Huanyi.
Before Huanyi appeared out of nowhere, only a few people had heard of this mysterious new company. It had swiftly acquired a few established entertainment companies and recruited many popular artists. However, this news was kept tightly under wraps until today when it was officially announced to the public.
Many people tried to find out who Huanyi's backer was. However, when they heard the two words "Lu family," they couldn't help but gasp.
Rongcheng's Lu family!
They actually made a move on the entertainment industry. Was the world about to change?
Many people's hearts were pounding, but the reporters squatting outside the hotel couldn't care less. They frantically pressed their shutters. When Ji Lin stepped out of the car, the media went wild.
"It's Ji Lin!"
"F * ck, even Ji Lin has been signed. Huanyi is going to make a big move this time!"
"Quick, make way for me!"
The reporters scrambled to squeeze forward, but they were all stopped by Ji Lin's bodyguards. For a moment, the chaotic scene made Ji Lin, who was used to it, frown. But very quickly, Ji Lin's gaze swept across the interior of the hotel. As if he had caught a glimpse of something, his gaze froze and his eyes lit up. He pushed through the crowd in two or three steps, forcibly squeezing a path through the crowd and rushing in.
Ji Lin's action was too obvious. The sensitive reporters immediately turned their cameras in the direction that Ji Lin rushed in. They had never seen Ji Lin so excited. Could it be that he saw his sweetheart … Oh, it turned out that he saw the deputy editor of Fengshang, Yu Ling?
After seeing the person standing there, the reporters were disappointed. Yu Ling was old enough to be Ji Lin's mother. It definitely wasn't what they thought. Could it be that Ji Lin had a new collaboration with Fengshang? Without breaking news, the reporters lost their motivation. The cameras aimed at Ji Lin moved away in boredom.
Therefore, no one noticed that after Ji Lin rushed over and stood still, he only greeted Yu Ling. His eyes immediately wandered to the Siyu behind Yu Ling.
This was the first time Ji Lin saw Siyu dressed up. The close-fitting snow-white dress outlined the lines of her slender body. It made her waist look even more slender and delicate. Her long hair was neatly tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck and delicate collarbone. Because she was attending a banquet, Siyu put on some light makeup. After applying rouge, her usually pale face had a touch of bright red. She looked much livelier than usual. She was a rare beauty.
Ji Lin almost couldn't help but shout in his heart: His sister is so beautiful! Her clothes are beautiful too! She's beautiful no matter what!
Siyu noticed Ji Lin's burning gaze. She turned her head and smiled at him. Ji Lin immediately smiled back, but his expression looked a little silly. Xiao Ai couldn't bear to look at him and turned her head away.
Brother Ji, at least restrain yourself a little. We're in public …
However, Ji Lin didn't hear Xiao Ai's prayers. He took out his phone and stuffed it into Xiao Ai's hand. He said, "Help me take a picture with … ahem, help me take a picture with Sister Ling."
Xiao Ai turned on the camera numbly and looked at the scheming b * tch, Ji Lin, who quietly squeezed Yu Ling out of the way. A grown man was in the middle, and he deliberately leaned his body towards Siyu. Xiao Ai felt that their Brother Ji was hopeless.
After taking the picture, Xiao Ai saw Ji Lin quickly photoshop Yu Ling out of the picture, leaving only the picture of him and Siyu. He also set this picture as the background, which confirmed her guess.
Xiao Ai: … Brother Ji, when did you become such a coward? You only dare to do it behind my back. Are you a man?
Ji Lin knew his limits. There were so many people here, so it was indeed not a good time to talk. Therefore, after taking the picture, he didn't continue to pester them. He obediently let Siyu and Siyu leave, but his eyes were full of reluctance as he looked at Siyu's back.
It would be great if I could acknowledge my sister … Ji Lin thought. He had actually asked his mother, the Duan Rulan, about his sister. However, whenever he mentioned his sister, the Duan Rulan would scold him. Her attitude was not only that she didn't want to talk about it, but that she was simply disgusted. Ji Lin was afraid that the Duan Rulan would think too much, so he didn't dare to say anything. As for his father, Ji Wenhan, how could he acknowledge someone who wasn't his own child?
Therefore, no matter how much Ji Lin wanted to openly call Siyu "sister", he had to suppress this impulse. If he implicated Siyu because of his selfishness, he would definitely regret it to death.
After watching Siyu leave, Ji Lin was about to walk to the other side when he suddenly heard a surprised female voice behind him. "Brother Ji!"
Ji Lin turned around and saw Xu Qingwan holding up her skirt and looking at him shyly. He couldn't help but have a headache.
He didn't know what was wrong with Xu Qingwan. The two of them had only worked together once during the shooting of the MV. They didn't know each other before, but Xu Qingwan always looked at him as if they were already in love and married. As long as he said a word to the opposite sex, Xu Qingwan would look at him with condemnation, as if Ji Lin had betrayed her. This annoyed Ji Lin to no end.
Ji Lin even secretly suspected that Xu Qingwan was delusional. Otherwise, why did he always feel that Xu Qingwan treated him as her possession?
Now that they met, Ji Lin didn't want to talk to Xu Qingwan at all. He nodded perfunctorily and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingwan immediately ran in front of Ji Lin and even tried to grab his hand, but Ji Lin nimbly dodged her.
"What do you want?" Ji Lin's patience was on the verge of running out.
"Brother Ji, listen to me. I just … just wanted to remind you …" Xu Qingwan looked at her hand disappointedly. She felt very wronged, but she still didn't give up. "Brother Ji, that woman named Zhou Siyu is up to no good! She approached you with a motive. Don't be fooled. She's capable of doing anything … "
"Enough!" Ji Lin originally thought that Xu Qingwan would say something, but when he heard this, he was so angry that he laughed. His eyes suddenly turned cold. "I'll take it that you're talking nonsense this time. If I hear you slandering her again, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhou Siyu approached him with bad intentions? He couldn't ask for more! If his sister had such intentions, he would have burned incense and prayed to God long ago. Did she have to beat around the bush like this?
Xu Qingwan saw that Ji Lin didn't believe her. In her panic, she even forgot to cover up and directly called out his name. "A Lin, I'm telling the truth! Zhou Siyu isn't sincere to you. She just wants to … "
Ji Lin didn't want to listen to her at all, so he interrupted her. "Miss Xu, first of all, I'm not familiar with you. Please don't call me by my name. Also, I have nothing to do with you. You don't have the right to tell me what to do with my private affairs. "
Xu Qingwan had never seen Ji Lin speak so harshly to her. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she looked a little pitiful. She still didn't give up and reached out to grab the corner of Ji Lin's clothes. "A Lin …"
This time, Xiao Ai stood in front of her. "Xu Qingwan! Brother Ji is easy to talk to, but it doesn't mean that I'm easy to talk to. If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you want to die? "
Facing Xiao Ai, Xu Qingwan stopped crying and glared at her angrily. Where did this woman come from? How dare she approach Ji Lin?!
After throwing out a warning, Xiao Ai hurriedly pushed Ji Lin out of there. This crazy woman must be crazy. Who does she think she is?!
Xu Qingwan wanted to follow them, but Ji Lin's bodyguards quietly blocked her way. She had no choice but to give up resentfully. She thought bitterly, 'It's all Zhou Siyu's fault! No, I must stop her. Otherwise, A Lin will still be deceived by that vicious woman! '
Siyu, who was being scolded by Xu Qingwan, was in a good mood at this moment. She walked into the banquet hall and looked around. Almost everyone's luck was pink or red. However, it made sense. Those who could participate in this kind of banquet must have a considerable status. How could their luck be bad?
For Siyu, being in this kind of environment was like going from a busy city to a forest. The air was several times fresher. She felt a steady stream of luck flowing into her body, and her illness and pain were swept away. She had never felt so relaxed before, and she almost cried with joy.
Ah, this exuberant luck. It was the right time to come!
