While the two of them were chatting, Li Rui's right shoulder was suddenly patted heavily. He turned his head and saw a long-haired beauty with picturesque features standing behind him. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her forehead was parted 30: 70. Below that was a beautiful face, and under the light makeup, it could really be said that she was gorgeous. She wore an off-shoulder navy style white and blue striped long-sleeved vest that exposed her collarbone and shoulders, and a pair of black wide-legged women's pants. On her fair and delicate feet, she wore a pair of dark blue pointy toe high-heeled sandals. She stood there gracefully, exuding an endless charm of beauty.
Li Rui was stunned when he saw such a beautiful woman. Then, he was stunned. Then, he felt that this beautiful woman looked very familiar. He looked at her carefully and suddenly recognized her. After recognizing her, he was both angry and amused. He scolded, "Damn, you even dare to hit your brother!"
The beautiful woman said, "Aren't brothers meant to be bullied? Hmph. "
This beautiful woman was none other than Ding Shasha, the godsister of Li Rui and Xu Da! At first, Ding Shasha did not follow the right path because of her family background. Later, with the care and help of Li Rui and Xu Da, she turned over a new leaf. Then, with the help of Li Rui and Tang Su, she entered the entertainment industry with Tang Su. Over the years, she had worked hard in the entertainment industry. With the help of Tang Su and other friends, she had taken on many films. Unfortunately, she was beautiful but not lucky. Although she had acted in more than 20 films and TV series, none of them made her famous.
Some movies and TV series were tailor-made by film and television companies to promote newcomers. The male and female leads and even the supporting roles had already been decided internally. Even if Ding Shasha had a part, it would only be a side character like Vase A and Vase B. Because of this, she did not become popular. It was fine if she did not become popular, but in some movies, she was the main character like the first female supporting role. Her makeup and beauty would surpass that of the female lead. However, after the movie started airing, she still did not become popular. This was too embarrassing. Moreover, there were many such experiences. What was even more infuriating was that in the same TV series, the second and third supporting actresses who were not as good as her in terms of screen time and appearance had caused widespread discussion among the people and on the Internet. They had even made the headlines. However, as the first supporting actress, she could not bring about any public opinion. It was as if she did not exist in the TV series at all.
After so many years, she was still a small celebrity outside the mainstream circle. Her career had not made any progress and she was not much better than when she first entered the entertainment industry. Fortunately, she was open-minded and did not feel ashamed. She also did not fantasize about suddenly becoming an A-list celebrity one day. She just experienced the entertainment industry as an interesting activity that combined work and life.
Of course, to be honest, a small celebrity like her was not an isolated case in the entertainment industry. Not to mention a small celebrity like her, even many B-list and C-list famous female celebrities were the kind of celebrities who could not become famous no matter how hard they tried. Wasn't there a girl who had neither good looks nor good figure? She entered the entertainment industry as soon as she became an adult. She was even promoted like burning money. Other female celebrities would not be able to get a role in a production team in their lifetime. However, she did not need to ask and people would take the initiative to send her. In the past few years, she had acted in many big productions and even acted with Hollywood superstars. However, in the end, she still did not become popular. Compared to her, Ding Shasha's experience was considered good.
Speaking of which, the reason why Ding Shasha did not become popular was because there was no one to promote her. No one was willing to invest in packaging her. Even if she had become familiar with the audience, without public opinion, popularity, and traffic, it was all in vain. However, there was once a second-rate director who approached her in private and said that as long as she was willing to pay the price, he would be responsible for making her popular within a year. He said that a female celebrity like her who had both good looks and a good figure was born to be an A-list celebrity. He would be able to make her popular easily.
After hearing this, Ding Shasha asked him what he wanted her to do even though she already knew the answer. The director directly said, "You will be with me for three years. During these three years, you will be at my beck and call. I promise you that I will make you popular!" Ding Shasha laughed and slapped him across the face. The second-rate director did not say anything else. He turned around and left. He did not take revenge on her in the future. Perhaps he was worried that if he took revenge on her, the matter would be blown out of proportion. If the matter was blown out of proportion, it would create hype for her and make her popular.
In fact, Ding Shasha had encountered many similar situations. If she had been willing to accept any of these shady deals, she would have been in a different situation. In other words, if Ding Shasha really wanted to be popular, she would have been popular a long time ago. It was because she was unwilling to compromise with the hidden rules that she was in such a difficult situation now. Li Rui, Xu Da, and Tang Su all understood her situation. While they comforted her by saying that she would succeed when the right opportunity presented itself, they all admired her noble character from the bottom of their hearts.
This time, Xu Da's good friend, Tang Su, could not attend the wedding because of the event. However, as his godsister, Ding Shasha, how could she not attend? Therefore, she and Kang Zhiwei had rushed over from Shanghai to attend the wedding today. It was normal for her to come early to see if there was anything she could help with.
Li Rui affectionately held Ding Shasha's shoulder and walked to a secluded corner. He asked, "Where is your second brother? Is he in the bridal chamber? Where is your second sister-in-law? "
Ding Shasha looked at him with disdain and said, "Why are you asking me? You can go in and see for yourself."
Li Rui said, "It seems that there are only women inside. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go in rashly."
Ding Shasha shouted, "Hey, they are not changing inside. What's wrong with you going in?"
The brother and sister were chatting when Long Baoyu's head suddenly appeared in front of them. This Young Master Long looked at Ding Shasha with a smile that he thought was handsome. However, he said to Li Rui, "This beauty looks a little unfamiliar. Introduce her to me."
Li Rui was angry and amused at the same time. This Young Master Long really lived up to his surname. He was born lascivious. When he saw a beauty, he wanted to get to know her and chase her. So far, when he was with him, he seemed to want to chase all the beauties he saw, including Tang Su, Lan Shan, Lin Meidian, and Ding Shasha in front of him. There were only three women who were not in his eyes: Murong Rong, Xie Peilan, and Daina. There were also different reasons. Murong Rong was not in his eyes because she had lost a lot of blood at the beginning. Xie Peilan was too dignified and plain, so he thought it was boring. Daina was wearing a human skin mask, so he did not like her. It had to be said that he was a playboy through and through.
When Ding Shasha saw Long Baoyu's gaze on her, she knew that he had bad intentions towards her. Her pretty face darkened. She pulled Li Rui's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Second Brother. Second Sister-in-law is not here. She's in the hotel waiting to marry you tomorrow morning."
Li Rui grabbed her hand and did not let her go. He said to Long Baoyu, "Your dreams are going to be dashed. You can't chase this beauty."
When he said that, Long Baoyu and Ding Shasha were very confused. They looked at each other and at the same time looked at Li Rui's face.
Long Baoyu did not care about Ding Shasha's feelings. He asked curiously, "Why can't I chase her?"
Li Rui explained, "She's the sworn sister of Xu Da and I. You're going to become sworn brothers with us. Doesn't that make her your sworn sister? You have the nerve to chase your sworn sister? "
Long Baoyu was very shocked. He cried out involuntarily, "No way, she's your sworn sister?"
Ding Shasha was also very surprised. He said, "This pervert wants to become sworn brothers with you two?"
Li Rui had no choice but to briefly explain his relationship with the two of them. After listening, Long Baoyu did not feel angry or sad about losing a beautiful target. He looked at Ding Shasha with a smile and said, "Haha, good, good. I've always only had an elder sister and never a younger sister. Now that I have a younger sister, I can enjoy the feeling of being a brother in the future. Haha, that's great."
Ding Shasha curled her lips and looked away. Obviously, she had no interest in this new sworn brother.
Li Rui patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "You two can talk first. I'm going to the bridal chamber to take a look." After saying that, he walked to the door of the bridal chamber.
After entering the bedroom, Li Rui saw Xu Da sitting at the end of the bed. There were four or five women of different ages standing around him. The one in the middle was the organizer of the wedding, Zixuan. She was talking to Xu Da about various matters regarding the wedding tomorrow morning. Because she was so focused on talking, she did not notice that her husband had walked into the room.
Li Rui wanted to listen to her first before going forward to meet her, but he did not expect that Xu Da had already seen him. He had to go forward and talk to her. As he walked, he suddenly realized that the woman standing at the innermost side was Yang Xiang. He was not surprised to see her on the eve of Xu Da's wedding, but he was still surprised and happy. Before he could talk to Xu Da and Zixuan, he first said to her, "Xiang Xiang, when did you come?"
When Zixuan saw that her husband had arrived, the first thing she did was to offer a beautiful smile. She did not expect that her husband would ignore her and greet Yang Xiang first. Although she knew that Yang Xiang was not only her savior, but also her good friend, she could not help but feel jealous. She stared at Li Rui resentfully.
Yang Xiang had been accompanying Huang Weining for the past few years, playing the role of a loyal bodyguard. She did not have a boyfriend, nor did she have any intention of getting married. Later, Huang Weining was a little embarrassed. She told her that as long as she met a suitable man, she could get married. There was no need to worry about losing her job. However, Yang Xiang just laughed it off. Li Rui also tried to persuade her that she was not young anymore. It was time for her to get married and have children. However, he was rebuffed by her, "It's none of your business."
