Before Ji Lin came to find Siyu, he had rehearsed what he was going to say many times in his mind. However, when he saw Siyu in person, he couldn't remember a single word. All that was left was uneasiness.
If he hadn't eavesdropped on his parents' argument, Ji Lin would never have known that his mother, the Duan Rulan, had married into the Ji family wasn't a glorious thing. Because the Duan Rulan had an affair with Ji Wenhan in her previous marriage, she secretly got pregnant with him. That was why she had the evil idea of marrying into a rich family through her son, which led to Siyu being heartlessly abandoned by her biological mother at a young age.
Therefore, Ji Lin suddenly realized that his birth was a complete disaster for Siyu. If he didn't exist, how could a cunning businessman like Ji Wenhan marry a married woman like the Duan Rulan? However, Ji Wenhan had a problem with his health. He had so many lovers outside, and in decades, only the Duan Rulan had successfully gotten pregnant, so he had no choice but to marry her.
It could be said that without Ji Lin, the Duan Rulan would only be Ji Wenhan's lover for the rest of her life, not Mrs. Ji.
She had an affair in her marriage, a secret pregnancy, and abandoned her young daughter to elope with her lover before her ex-husband's body was even cold … Ji Lin listened to the Ji couple unravel the old scandals one by one amidst the fierce argument. His heart felt as if it had been plunged into cold water, chilling him to the bone.
Ji Lin didn't dare to imagine if Siyu already knew these facts. If she knew everything, then what would she think when she saw him? Would she think that this so-called younger brother of hers was really shameless? He was clearly the one who destroyed her family, yet he still shamelessly approached her?
Could it be … that his sister didn't like him at all?
This kind of thing couldn't be thought about. Once it started, it was like a flood that couldn't be stopped. The more Ji Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat almost soaked his back, so he waited until the Duan Rulan couple left the house, then immediately ran downstairs to Siyu.
However, at this point, he didn't dare to go up, so he could only wait downstairs. When he saw Siyu, he wanted to explain himself and say that he didn't know that the Duan Rulan had done such terrible things to her. However, Siyu's face was full of concern as she asked if he was cold. Ji Lin's brain to heat up, he immediately threw the script to the wind and immediately to hug his sister.
"Sis, I'm, I'm sorry …" Ji't's face's face.
Siyu was silent for a few seconds. Although Ji Lin's words didn't make sense, Siyu could already guess why he had lost his composure from his fragmented words.
The Ji couple were used to disguising themselves. They were a match made in heaven. Since they had pretended to be deeply in love for so many years, they naturally wouldn't tell Ji Lin the truth. This time, Fifth Master Lu had interfered and almost overturned the entire Ji Group. The two of them couldn't keep up the act, so they revealed their fox tails and were caught by Ji Lin.
Siyu could sense the confusion in Ji Lin's words, so she put more pressure on his back to comfort him. She asked, "What are you sorry for?"
Ji Lin replied in a muffled voice, "If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have left you …"
"It's none of your business." Siyu interrupted him. She said in a rational and almost indifferent tone, "This is just an excuse. The Duan Rulan didn't like me since I was a child. Even if you weren't there, even if your father didn't appear at that time, she would have found a chance to leave. Do you believe me?"
Ji Lin said in a daze. He didn't seem to understand.
Siyu explained patiently, "I was born with a disease. Basically, all the money in the family was invested in the medicine jar. There was no extra money for the Duan Rulan to enjoy. She couldn't live a hard life and had been dissatisfied for a long time. She could only say that she hit the jackpot when she met your father. In fact, long before that, she already had the idea of divorce. She said that she was still young and didn't want to be a burden to me."
Ji Lin was stunned. After a while, he said, "But my mother was pregnant with me … Sis, I'm just afraid …"
"You're afraid that because I don't like the Duan Rulan, I won't like you as well?" Siyu finished Ji Lin's unfinished words. When she saw him nod reflexively, she immediately sighed. "I'm different from the Duan Rulan. I won't vent my anger on others. You are you, and she is she. You came to tell me that you don't agree with her at all. Why should I hate you for this reason?"
It was the first time that Siyu saw Ji Lin acting so insecure. She thought for a while and comforted him in a very firm tone, "You are my biological brother. No matter how I look at the Duan Rulan, this won't change. Don't worry. I can still tell who is sincere to me and who is not. "
Ji Lin unconsciously rubbed Siyu's shoulder. He finally felt a trace of grievance that he hadn't felt in a long time. He had been letting his imagination run wild all night, and the strong uneasiness seemed to be easily wiped away by Siyu.
He was really too afraid. His original family had no warmth. Every day, he faced the empty house and wandered around alone like a ghost. He always felt that he didn't belong here, as if he didn't belong here. However, after Siyu appeared, Ji Lin suddenly realized that family had a different meaning. He had never met this half-sister of his, but from the beginning, she gave him an unusual sense of closeness.
She was like the sunshine in the cold winter. Because of her existence, Ji Lin's heart, which had gradually turned cold when he thought of his family in the past, felt hot for the first time.
That was why he was too afraid of losing her.
"That means … Sister, you won't ignore me and are still willing to continue to recognize me as your younger brother?" Ji Lin raised his head and looked into Siyu's eyes as he asked cautiously.
Seeing that he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Siyu's evil thoughts began to stir. She deliberately dragged out her words and said, "I lied to you —"
"Sister!" Ji Lin suddenly became anxious. "You didn't mean what you said!"
Siyu gently knocked his forehead. "Stupid."
Ji Lin held his forehead and stared at her with resentment. His own big sister was disdainful of him now!
However, at this time, Ji Lin also realized that she was joking. He muttered softly, "Sister, you weren't like this in the past …"
"That's why I said that you've become stupid." Siyu knocked him again and walked two steps forward with her hands behind her back. When she came back to her senses, she looked at Ji Lin with a smile. "I'm going out for a walk. I'm going to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Do you want to have lunch here?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ji Lin was instantly revived. He chased after Siyu and walked out side by side. "Sister, I want to eat the crayfish you made!"
"Don't you think it's greasy to eat crayfish so early in the morning? Also, where are your sunglasses? If you swagger out like this, we can forget about coming back tonight! "
"Sister, don't worry. I have them with me! … "
Less than ten minutes after the two of them walked out, a luxury car drove into the neighborhood ostentatiously and stopped below Siyu's house. The car door opened and Duan Rulan stepped out. He asked the driver to bring down the gifts from the back seat. Then, he raised his hand to tidy his hair and looked up at the floor where Siyu lived.
That girl was indeed not born to be rich. She had already hooked up with Fifth Master Lu's golden thigh, but she still lived in such a poor place. She was indeed a pauper. Even if she flew up to a branch, she could not become a phoenix.
Duan Rulan's eyes were full of sarcasm. She touched the corner of her mouth. The stinging pain in her hand made her angry. These were all injuries caused when she fought with her husband yesterday. Today, she specially put on heavy makeup to cover the bruises on her face. Ji Wenhan blamed her for not treating her ex-husband's daughter well, which led to the arrival of Fifth Master Lu. But could she be blamed for this?
That girl, Zhou Siyu, did not say anything. She did not care about her biological mother at all!
To be honest, Duan Rulan was angry that Ji Wenhan forced her to apologize to Siyu. Why? It had always been children who were filial to their mothers. Since when did a mother have to be filial to her children?
However, Ji Wenhan had been constantly bombarded with bad news from the company, causing him to be distraught. He flew into a rage and smashed everything in the living room that could be smashed. His gaze towards Duan Rulan became even colder. Duan Rulan felt that if she dared not agree, he might do anything. Thus, she reluctantly nodded.
"Carry all these things up." Duan Ru Lan stood at the side and instructed the driver. Of course, these gifts were not prepared by her. She had sent someone to buy all of them. She did not seem to have thought about what would happen if Si Yu did not accept them. She did not even inform Si Yu in advance before she came to Si Yu's door.
The driver responded and started to move the gifts. However, before they could enter the corridor, seven or eight bodyguards dressed in black appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way up.
Previously, Duan Ru Lan had been stared at by these people and dug the ground for an entire day. Now that she saw this group of people again, she was so scared that her soul almost flew away. She took a few steps back: "You, why are you all …"
These bodyguards were all left behind by Fifth Master Lu. Especially after the fire incident, they did not dare to slack off. No matter where Siyu went, there would be people secretly following her. As for people like Duan Rulan … before Fifth Master Lu left, he had specifically instructed them to throw these flies as far away as possible if they dared to come.
"Lady Ji, wasn't the lesson you received yesterday not enough?" The leader stared coldly at Duan Rulan. "Miss Zhou doesn't want to see you. Don't waste your time."
Duan Rulan still had lingering fears from yesterday's painful experience. She secretly glanced at these people. They were all tall and strong and seemed to be carrying weapons. Using force would not work. She squeezed out a smile and said in a slightly flattering tone, "I'm Siyu's biological mother. I'm just here to catch up with her …"
The leader sneered. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. With a wave of his hand, a few people came forward and directly carried Duan Rulan away. Duan Rulan's face was full of fear. Just as she was about to call for help, she was thrown into her own luxury car. A few seconds later, the driver was also thrown in. His entire body was trembling.
The leader looked at Duan Rulan through the car window. "If you don't get lost, then I have no choice but to ask you to make a trip to Fifth Master's place."
The name Fifth Master Lu had already become a nightmare for Duan Rulan. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't care how she was going to explain to her husband after this failure. She desperately urged the driver. "Quick, quick, let's go!"
The driver was also scared silly by this group of murderous people. Without waiting for Duan Rulan to say anything, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped away. The two people disappeared from the neighborhood in the blink of an eye as if there were ghosts chasing after them.
They left quickly, but they didn't bother to take the pile of gifts that Duan Rulan brought. They were all thrown on the ground. The leader of the bodyguards looked through them and found that they were all luxury goods like branded clothes and shoes. He immediately lost interest.
"Hurry up and throw these away. Don't let Miss Zhou see them and get annoyed." The leader thought that this Duan Rulan was really stupid. She didn't even know how to give gifts to the right person. She even said that she was her biological mother. Bah!
…
Siyu finally had a rare holiday. She could finally ignore other trivial matters and focus on her painting. Little did she know that Fifth Master Lu stood up for her at the Ji family and openly supported her. This news had already spread throughout the upper class as if it had grown wings.
Of course, there was no lack of Fifth Master Lu's tacit approval to add fuel to the fire.
The Duan Rulan wasn't the only one. The other aristocratic families who heard the news immediately took action. They crowded downstairs in front of Siyu's run-down building with all kinds of expensive gifts. They wanted to curry favor with her, but before they could go upstairs, they were all thrown out by the loyal bodyguards. If one came, one would be thrown out. If one came, a pair would be thrown out. They never gave face to anyone.
Chairman Wang, who used to have a close relationship with Xu Qingwan and helped her get into the cast of "City-Toppling Beauty", was one of the members of the gift-giving team.
Ever since he heard that Zhou Siyu, who he thought could be bullied by anyone, was actually the woman that Fifth Master Lu liked, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Then he began to rejoice. Fortunately, he didn't do much at the time. Later, when Xu Qingwan asked him to use the Internet Water Army to slander Siyu, he had already cleaned up the traces. Otherwise, if Fifth Master Lu found out about it, wouldn't he be dead?
Chairman Wang wanted to turn back time and strangle his idiotic self, but what was done was done. Now, he could only think of a way to build a good relationship with Zhou Siyu. If something really happened, he could just expose Xu Qingwan. After all, he wasn't the one who came up with the idea in the first place.
He had wishful thinking, but like the others, he was thrown out without even seeing Siyu's face. He could only go back home with his tail between his legs.
Siyu didn't know that so many things were happening downstairs. After "City-Toppling Beauty" finished filming, she had no work to do. Originally, she had signed the most flexible contract with Huanyi, so no one would force her to work. However, her little assistant, Shen Yue, was very career-minded. Every day, she would bring all kinds of invitations to Siyu's door for her to choose from. In the end, Siyu couldn't persuade her, so she chose an endorsement and turned down all the other offers.
Other than that, Siyu stayed at home and crazily updated. A few days later, her comic editor, Mu Yan, personally called and said happily, "Koi, didn't I tell you before that the film and television rights for" Fashion Strategy "have been sold?"
"En, yes, what's the matter?" Of course, Siyu remembered. Her "Fashion Strategy" was now the most popular comic series. It had a huge number of fans, so at that time, the copyright of this comic was sold for a high price of one million yuan. This was already considered a sky-high price in the entertainment industry, which didn't look favorably on adaptations for films. It was also thanks to this money that Siyu didn't have to worry about her livelihood anymore.
"Let me tell you, the TV series is about to be approved and can start filming immediately!" Mu Yan seemed very excited. This was the first comic she had ever written to be made into a TV series. It was very significant! She couldn't wait to share her joy with Siyu. "Koi, who do you think will be acting in it? Oh my god, you're amazing! Do you know that people are asking for the price of your new serialized "Sesame Milk Filling"? Oh right, there's also that "Cat Dad". I've already contacted the Children's Autism Foundation and planned to do a joint promotion. A company heard that you have another comic and said that they want to buy it without even asking about the content! You're now a hot celebrity! "
Siyu blinked. "You're exaggerating …"
"It's true. Why would I lie to you!" Mu Yan felt proud and she had already started to plan. "Koi, 'Fashion Strategy' is still at the stage of selecting actors. They seem to want to invite you to be a consultant. After all, you're the original author and are more familiar with the plot. It might be easier to adapt it."
"…" Siyu thought of her bad deeds of persuading other stars to publicly confess to Koi on Weibo. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Koi's identity was revealed. So, she tactfully refused. "No need. I believe in the ability of the crew. Besides, I still have a draft to draw …"
Mu Yan was in a state of excitement and didn't hear Siyu's words at all. She continued to say excitedly, "Speaking of which, about the female lead, do you have an actress in mind that you like? I think Zhou Siyu is good. I became her fan after watching that episode of "Unthinkable Challenge." On the surface, she looks like a little white rabbit, but on the inside, she's sesame. Don't you think that she's quite similar to the female lead's setting? Koi Li, are you listening? Say something … "
Siyu: "…" She didn't want to speak.
