Chapter 122 With such beauty before him, who wouldn't be bewildered?
Don't do that! I'm really starting to lose control! Stop egging me on!
With such beauty before him, who wouldn't be bewildered?
This handsome man is also incredibly eloquent; every word and sentence he utters carries profound meaning, capable of captivating you at any moment.
Lu Yining felt that if Ji Shiyan could maintain this pace, she would eventually give in to him.
"Relax, don't be so stiff." Ji Shiyan's voice traveled with the wind to her ears: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. You can completely entrust yourself to me."
Double entendre.
Lu Yining still didn't speak, only giving him a vague, slight smile.
To this day, she still hasn't figured out her own feelings. She's unsure whether she truly likes him, or if it's just a passing interest, or if she's simply blinded by his good looks.
Before things are confirmed, don't make promises to others or play with their feelings; this is a principle.
"Can you wait a moment?"
Lu Yining tilted her head back, her eyes as bright and clear as the stars and moon in the sky.
"My mind is a bit muddled; I need to sort it out first."
Ji Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently. Those words were enough.
"I'm waiting for you."
……
Lu Yining felt dizzy all day. After getting home and having dinner, she ran back to her room and collapsed on the rocking chair on the balcony.
She tried her best to clear her mind and not think about anything, but the more she tried not to think, the more her mind would do the opposite of hers, with every frame and every moment of her time with Ji Shiyan playing on a loop in her mind.
No! I need to find something to do!
Just as she was about to get up, a bell rang, interrupting her.
Seeing that the contact name was "Hot Sister," Lu Yining answered the phone with peace of mind.
Before she could even speak, Jia Ying'en had already impatiently opened her mouth.
"Yi Ning, I have two pieces of good news to tell you."
"Firstly, all those negative news stories about you online have been reversed. Now everyone knows you were wronged, and they're all apologizing to you online!"
"The second piece of good news is that you gained over 100,000 followers on Weibo today!"
"Some of them wanted to see how the incident would unfold, some wanted to apologize to you, and some were impressed by your strength and righteousness, and were won over by your character and came to like you."
These are all pretty good, but... she's more concerned about something else.
"What happened to that paparazzi? Were they dealt with?"
When this was mentioned, Jia Ying'en's tone became even lighter.
"He's been dealt with. He was arrested and taken to the police station for spreading rumors and misinformation. He has to stay in the police station for nine days before he can be released."
"Oh, and also, the newspaper fired him."
Ah, what a case of wickedness getting its just deserts.
Lu Yining was fairly satisfied with the result.
"By the way, Director Liu is currently preparing for a TV series and will be casting in a couple of days. Why don't you go and give it a try? If you want to go, I'll arrange it for you."
[That sounds familiar... Someone told her this not long ago.]
"Oh my god, fire... Ying'en, you arrange it for me."
[Thank goodness, I almost got scolded...]
"You're so agreeable today?" Jia Ying'en asked hesitantly. Wasn't this person always so picky? Why is he so agreeable this time?
Transitioned?
In response, Lu Yining said, "Seizing every opportunity to become famous is what a celebrity should do!"
That makes sense!
Jia Ying'en nodded secretly, feeling very gratified: "You've grown up and become ambitious, alright! I'll arrange this for you. You just need to focus on improving your acting skills in the next two days."
After saying that, Jia Ying'en was afraid that her words would put a lot of pressure on Lu Yining, so she quickly added: "But it doesn't matter if you don't get selected in the end. As long as you've tried your best, the result is important, but the process is just as important."
Knowing that Jia Ying'en was concerned about her, Lu Yining's voice softened a bit: "It's okay, Sister Ying, I'm taking it all in stride."
[Anyway, it's just a formality, a chance to glean some gossip. I know my own acting skills, and besides... I've read the original book, and I know that Lu Yining wasn't chosen in the original story.]
After the call ended, Lu Yining opened Weibo and casually glanced at the few comments in front of her.
The wind direction did indeed reverse.
These days, paparazzi really don't deserve to be paparazzi. They don't talk about anything important, they just make things up and distort the facts. Ugh! My hands are so stupid! They don't know anything, what are they typing?! Luckily, Lu Yining is strong-willed and didn't commit suicide, otherwise I really can't forgive myself.
— I want to say this! I once saw a story about a female celebrity who committed suicide because she was slandered and insulted online. At the time, I said those people were inhuman, just holding keyboards and banging away; they were all murderers. I never imagined that one day I would become the very thing I used to hate.
— After seeing all this, all I want to say is... thankfully, I was on Lu Yining's side from the beginning. I didn't do anything immoral, thank goodness!
Pressing the black screen, Lu Yining looked up, staring at the night sky, her thoughts drifting.
Now... it seems like only my eldest brother and the impending bankruptcy of the Lu family are left unresolved. My mother survived the car accident and is still alive and well. My second brother caught the drug dealers and wiped them all out.
The relationship between Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law hasn't been exposed, and Fourth Brother is also fine for now. He hasn't been slandered either, and he's still focusing on his studies and research as usual.
Grandpa didn't die, everyone is still alive, that's wonderful.
The gossip system: ┍Only 13 days left until your older brother's death. ┒
Lu Yining: "..."
So fast!
[Is this... a countdown? My brother only has 13 days left before he dies!]
No! Such a good older brother must live on!
The eldest brother still wants to stay together with his wife!
Downstairs in the living room, everyone was still there. Upon hearing this heartfelt voice, they all turned their gaze to Lu Yunchen.
He was startled when he received the greeting in his eyes.
"Don't look at me!"
Fearing that he would be interrogated by his family like Lu Yunjie had been, Lu Yunchen quickly raised his hands in surrender.
“We’re not even close to each other yet. This ‘sister-in-law’ title is just something my fifth sister calls me. Apart from work, we have no contact at all.”
While disappointed, Mu Linglan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated that her son was not living up to his potential.
"How old are you? You don't even have a girlfriend. If you don't have a girlfriend, you can at least have a boyfriend. You don't have either, so why are you even talking here?"
