Lin City, restaurant.
La Jingzhou had already received Bai Shilan’s call.
His patience and sympathy toward Bai Shilan made Liu Yan feel wary.
Following the plot, Liu Yan asked, “Jingzhou, you and Miss Bai, seem to have a good relationship?”
La Jingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. He was slowly getting access to some of the Liu Family resources, but these were just scratching the surface. To reach the core, he still needed to maintain his engagement with Liu Yan.
But, to coax Liu Yan, that was impossible for him.
Only with Shilan could he feel tenderness, wishing he could give her the very best of everything.
As for Liu Yan, whatever he said, she would believe him, so a casual response would suffice.
An impatient look appeared on La Jingzhou’s face, “Why ask again? I and…”
Suddenly, La Jingzhou felt his tongue slip smoothly as he said, “My relationship with you is just an act we put on for appearances. You’re the company’s cash cow, I have to be somewhat polite. If you continue to be this petty, I think we’re not suitable for each other.”
Both ‘she’s had become ‘you.’
Liu Yan had been waiting for La Jingzhou’s explanation. She never anticipated that the words she’d be met with would be these.
Liu Yan looked at La Jingzhou in near disbelief.
He and she, were just putting on an act?
She was the company’s cash cow, and because she and the Liu Family could bring benefits to the La Family, that’s why he was a bit polite to her?!
It’s true that she fell for him first.
But he had clearly also been very proactive about the engagement.
She thought.
That he loved her too.
But it was all just an act?
As his words settled, La Jingzhou’s complexion changed.
Even he could not understand why he had said such a thing!
Although it was the truth, some truths shouldn’t be spoken so soon!
La Jingzhou tried to explain, “That’s not what I meant… Just now I…”
Liu Yan picked up her bag, her voice calm, “I understand. These years, Mr. La, you’ve worked hard to play this role with me.”
Liu Yan turned around and left immediately.
La Jingzhou was somewhat stunned.
He instinctively wanted to chase after her, but he had always placed himself above her in front of Liu Yan; suddenly having to go and coax Liu Yan, he couldn’t make that turn.
La Jingzhou’s expression shifted, but ultimately he did not move.
It was just a slip of the tongue. Given Liu Yan’s love for him, she definitely wouldn’t just give up on him like this.
Let her be cold.
After a few days, she will naturally come back, humbly seeking reconciliation.
At this time.
Bai Shilan’s call came again.
For the first time, La Jingzhou felt somewhat irritated.
If it weren’t for Bai Shilan calling at inappropriate times, things wouldn’t have gotten this messy!
La Jingzhou answered the call, and on the other end, Bai Shilan was still speaking in an upset and aggrieved tone.
This time, La Jingzhou wasn’t in the mood to soothe her.
He spoke softly, “I have a fiancée, you’ve known this all along. If you feel aggrieved, you can leave now.”
While saying this, La Jingzhou hung up the phone.
After hanging up, he began to feel some regret.
But how could a domineering CEO like him bow his head so easily?
La Jingzhou told himself. Never mind, he’d simply buy a few more handbags later. Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏(.)com
Luo City.
For the first time being spoken to so harshly, Bai Shilan showed an expression like thunder out of a clear sky.
She sat there dumbfounded, tears helplessly streaming down.
What’s wrong with Jingzhou?
Why treat her this way?
That’s right! He had always treated her as a plaything, never harboring a sliver of genuine affection.
Bai Shilan couldn’t help but think of Ye Lin, a gentleman through and through. If it were Ye Lin, he certainly would never treat her this way!
Indeed. Her desire to escape from La Jingzhou was correct. Ye Lin was truly the best destination for her.
Moreover,
Bai Shilan had just found out today.
Ye Lin was not only a film emperor, but he was also the second young master of the Ye Family in Luo City!
The Ye Family in Luo City was in no way inferior to the La Family in Lin City.
If Ye Lin was willing to protect her, even La Jingzhou wouldn’t be able to take her back.
As Bai Shilan was pondering this, suddenly someone sent her a message on her mobile phone.
It was Ye Bingtong, they had exchanged contact information before.
Ye Bingtong had sent a photo, a picture from their childhood where Ye Lin was holding her; both were laughing brilliantly, showing a close relationship.
“Sister, this is a photo of my second brother. Aren’t you a fan of his? I’m showing you the photo secretly, but don’t spread it around, okay?”
Bai Shilan’s gaze flickered.
It seemed,
that Ye Bingtong really did have a good relationship with Ye Lin.
By comparison, Ye Xiao had just returned to the Ye Family, and Ye Lin had been on a closed set filming this whole time; the two had not even met yet.
Even if they had met, one was a bumpkin who had just come from the countryside, and the other a sister who the Ye Family had carefully raised and grown up with together.
It was obvious whom Ye Lin would choose.
As Bai Shilan thought about it, she became somewhat troubled again.
If she could secure this role for Ye Bingtong, she could naturally go to Ye Lin to take credit for it.
But Li Mingyu was unyielding, and La Jingzhou was not managing her affairs any longer.
What could she possibly do?
Bai Shilan’s gaze flickered, and she suddenly had an idea.
If La Jingzhou didn’t care, would that mean she had no options left?
Every person has a weakness!
Li Mingyu was tough, but she had her own vulnerability.
Her weakness was her grandson, Chen Yu!
For Li Mingyu, this child was more precious than life itself.
If she could win this child over, she would have won over Li Mingyu as well.
At this moment, the afternoon audition had already begun.
After thinking it over, Bai Shilan didn’t go to the audition site but instead started looking for Chen Yu.
No matter what, she had to make this happen for Ye Bingtong.
Only then would Ye Bingtong speak well of her, only then could she gain Ye Lin’s favor, only then could she escape from that bastard, La Jingzhou!
At the audition site.
It had been bustling at first, but after Li Mingyu auditioned a few candidates, the atmosphere turned somber. The audition numbers had been randomly assigned based on the registrations from the morning. Initially, those who drew later numbers were unhappy, wishing they could go earlier. But now, they felt fortunate in their hearts—they were glad they didn’t have to go on stage so early!
There was no other reason!
It was because Li Mingyu was too harsh!
Some, having just spoken three seconds of their lines, were directly called to stop.
Others were halted right after making a move.
There were hardly any segments that could be performed in their entirety.
Although this made the auditioning process very quick, those at the scene couldn’t help but feel intimidated.
The standard was just too strict!
If it was their turn, most likely they would fare the same.
In the midst of this solemn atmosphere, a staff member called out Ye Bingtong’s name.
Ye Bingtong stood up, and she specifically glanced at Ye Xiao with an incredibly serene smile at the corner of her lips.
She was certain that Bai Shilan indeed had feelings for her second brother.
With her own words from that morning, Bai Shilan would surely speak on her behalf.
This role,
she was determined to win it.
Ye Xiao rolled her eyes directly at Ye Bingtong, “What are you looking at me for? Trying to disgust me with your stare?”
Ye Bingtong snorted coldly.
She couldn’t be bothered to quarrel with Ye Xiao.
Just wait.
Soon, she would make it so Ye Xiao’s mouth couldn’t spout any more insolences!
