When Zhan Yaxin returned to the company, she had no idea that Li Anran had plotted against her. She simply reported her work to Li Anran as usual and then planned to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a strange expression on Li Anran's face. The expression conveyed a sense of pity and sympathy for her, which Zhan Yaxin found very puzzling.

A bad feeling flashed through Zhan Yaxin's mind.

"Is Li Anran out of her mind today? What's with that look?" Zhan Yaxin didn't know that Li Anran was pitying her because she was about to be kicked out of Huarui. She thought that this woman had gone crazy and was looking at her with such a strange expression.

When Jian Ruoxi woke up in the car, she found that Su Ziyu had parked the car in a park. There weren't many people there, and the lake view was very tranquil. She looked at Su Ziyu with a bit of curiosity: "Aren't we supposed to go to the company first and then go to shoot the outdoor scenes?"

“Ran Jie just called to say that the filming has been canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow. I thought what happened this morning might have upset you, so I took the liberty of bringing you here to relax and hopefully cheer you up.”

Jian Ruoxi looked at Su Ziyu with a sense of gratitude: "Thank you."

Su Ziyu smiled and the two of them got out of the car and came to the lakeside. It was not yet noon, and the sun around 10 o'clock was the most comfortable. With a gentle breeze blowing through Jian Ruoxi's hair, she was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Su Ziyu stared at Jian Ruoxi, his eyes practically glued to hers. He desperately wished that Jian Ruoxi's gaze could linger on him a little longer.

She just stared blankly at the lake, lost in thought, like a beautiful sculpture, and didn't say a word except for occasionally blinking.

Su Ziyu knew that she must be heartbroken because of what happened today. He knew some things about her and Lu Shen, especially how deep Jian Ruoxi's feelings for Lu Shen had been, but that man didn't cherish them, which led to this situation.

"Xiao Xi, do you know, the first time I saw you, I felt that you must be an extraordinary girl." Su Ziyu also looked at the lake, gazing at the shimmering patterns, and began to recount his first encounter with Jian Ruoxi.

"At that time, I thought, how could a girl work so hard? Other actors couldn't even memorize their lines, but you refused to use a stunt double for such dangerous action scenes. It was really pitiful to see you covered in bruises."

Su Ziyu laughed as he spoke: "I thought this girl was really amazing. I really admire you."

Jian Ruoxi didn't react; her eyes were devoid of any emotion. Su Ziyu had no idea what she was thinking, so he could only continue speaking on his own.

"The longer I work with you, the more I am attracted to your unique qualities. In fact, if you look back, there is someone who has always been standing behind you to protect you."

Upon hearing the name Lu Shen, Jian Ruoxi's eyes showed a slight reaction. Her previously indifferent gaze suddenly turned angry: "Lu Shen really went too far today. He clearly knows everything, yet he still lets Li Anran slander us. It's simply unreasonable."

Su Ziyu smiled helplessly when he heard Jian Ruoxi's words. Was it only Lu Shen who could manipulate this woman's emotions?

Su Ziyu looked at Jian Ruoxi's profile and asked, "Xiaoxi, if it weren't for Lu Shen, would you still consider marrying someone else?"

Jian Ruoxi paused for a moment, then nodded very seriously: "That guy Lu Shen doesn't even have basic trust in me anymore, why should I marry him? Besides, we're already divorced, aren't we?"

At this point, Jian Ruoxi's face showed a hint of sadness. It was clear that she was very hurt by being forced into marriage and then forced into divorce, especially since a so-called "white moonlight" had suddenly appeared when she had already developed deep feelings for Lu Shen.

During this time, Jian Ruoxi had already suffered a lot of grievances because of them, and she really didn't want to have any more entanglements with Lu Shen.

Apart from Grandpa Lu, everyone else in the Lu family treated him with indifference and harshness. To be honest, he didn't feel very happy living like this.

"Xiaoxi, do you remember when you first joined the crew?" Su Ziyu suddenly said with a smile, "Back then you were sunny and cheerful, always with a smile on your face. You would greet everyone you saw, and even if it was just a minor role, you would care about whether they were tired or not. That's when I noticed you. You were so kind."

"It's a pity that you didn't have many scenes at that time, and you finished filming and left not long after. I didn't even have a chance to get your contact information. The next time I heard about you was when you got married. So many years have passed, and I thought you would never come back."

Su Ziyu smiled, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair, his long eyelashes trembling slightly in the breeze: "You are a born actor. You have a professional ethic that many people lack, and a heart that never forgets its original aspirations. These are things that many people don't have, and they are also your most precious qualities."

Jian Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly. In fact, she hadn't heard a word Su Ziyu said. Her mind was full of Lu Shen.

She really didn't understand why Lu Shen did what he did this morning. He clearly knew everything, but he didn't listen to her and Su Ziyu's explanations at all, and even said those hurtful things and kicked her out.

Does he not trust me at all?

Since they're already divorced, why should Lu Shen care so much about who he goes to get off work with or where he goes?

Her previously wavering heart was now completely locked up by Lu Shen's words that morning, and thinking about what happened that morning, Jian Ruoxi inexplicably started to feel angry again.

“Su Ziyu, why do you think Lu Shen doesn’t believe us? Why did he get angry at us just because of Li Anran’s few words of provocation? What gives him the right?” Jian Ruoxi looked at Su Ziyu, her face full of anger.

Seeing Jian Ruoxi's reaction, Su Ziyu knew that she was still uncomfortable about what happened that morning, but he couldn't say anything. It was just that Lu Shen was overcomplicating their relationship.

Actually, he was happy too. After all, he didn't have such innocent feelings for Jian Ruoxi. If he could, he would take care of her for the rest of his life and never let her suffer such humiliation and harm again.
