The two started arguing.

"Lu Jin, I'm warning you, you're my sister. Although I can't do anything to you, as long as I'm your brother, I have to take care of you." Lu Shen was furious at his sister who had lost her mind.

In his eyes, Li Tianlei's disappearance had dealt a deep blow to Lu Jin. At this time, she still wanted to protect this man, which was simply out of her mind. Moreover, Li Tianlei could not provide her with even the most basic material security.

However, Lu Jin didn't care about these material things. "You're aloof, you're lucky, you were born into the Lu family, you were born to be the CEO, what does he have to compare with you?"

Lu Shen questioned Lu Jin: "Over the years, I've worked so hard. Every single morning I've been up before seven o'clock. The company has grown so big because of my hard work and accumulation."

But Lu Jin just wouldn't listen: "Not everyone is as lucky as you."

The two parted on bad terms. Lu Jin grabbed Li Tianlei's hand, turned around and left, slamming the door shut in a huff.

Jian Ruoxi stood aside, listening to Lu Shen's humiliating words to Li Tianlei. She herself felt bad. In terms of background and family circumstances, how much better could she be than Li Tianlei?

A gambling father, a stepmother who treats herself like a cash cow, and a step-sister who only wants to hook up with a rich second-generation.

Lu Shen's words also stung him.

She asked Lu Shen, "My background isn't good either. You've met my father and my family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a quagmire."

Only after hearing her say that did Lu Shen realize how much of a blow and hurt his words had caused Jian Ruoxi.

He didn't mean to hurt Jian Ruoxi. "That's not what I meant, Ruoxi."

"Compared to Li Tianlei, I am not only of humble origin, I am the lowest of people in the world. How could I be worthy of you, Young Master Lu?"

Lu Shen quickly interrupted her: "Stop talking, Xixi. Your father is like that because he drinks and gambles a lot, but you are not like that. I know you."

Jian Ruoxi felt a little tired. With red eyes, she looked at Lu Shen and asked, "Why bother? Why do you have to get entangled with an actress like me?"

"Li Rou is a top student and comes from a good family. She is the one who deserves you."

Lu Shen hugged her tightly, saying nervously, "I'm sorry, Xixi, I misspoke. I was just angry. I didn't mean it that way."

"I will never restrict your personal freedom again. You can go wherever you want."

Jian Ruoxi didn't believe it: "You've imprisoned me and won't let Lu Jin take me away. What's the point of keeping me locked up?"

Lu Shen assured him, "This will never happen again. From today onwards, you can go wherever you want. Gu Hao will not only be your driver, but also your bodyguard."

Faced with such a guarantee, Jian Ruoxi calmed down a bit, but said to Lu Shen with a sob in her voice, "How could you do this to me?"

Lu Shen apologized: "I'm sorry, baby. I was just jealous of Hu Lan. You shouldn't see him again, or I'll go crazy if I see him."

Actually, Jian Ruoxi was getting quite close to Hu Lan during that time, partly to use him to spite him, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable with Lu Shen and Li Rou spending all their time together.

Lu Shen carried Jian Ruoxi upstairs to rest. The next morning, the maids and nannies stopped watching Jian Ruoxi and she prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.

Hearing Lu Shen say, "I called the company this morning and asked them to lift the suspension on you,"

Jian Ruoxi was overjoyed, as this meant she could make a name for herself in the entertainment industry and fulfill her dreams.

“There’s another film festival coming up soon, and you can attend that too, but don’t accept Hu Lan’s sponsorship anymore,” Lu Shen requested.

Jian Ruoxi had no choice but to compromise, but she also made her own demands: "From now on, you are not allowed to miss any of my prenatal checkups."

During that period, Hu Lan's personal studio for Jian Ruoxi was also closed, and she has not been able to contact Jian Ruoxi for the past few days.

Just after finishing her meal, Jian Ruoxi saw many messages from Hu Lan pop up on her phone. Lu Shengang had just handed her the phone.

Fearing the other party might be getting impatient, she immediately called back: "Hu Lan, I've been busy lately, so I haven't checked the messages."

In fact, Hu Lan knew that Jian Ruoxi was being held captive at home by Lu Shen, but since the other party didn't mention it, he dodged the question and talked about other things: "Are you going back to the company or not? Your agent is waiting for you."

Hearing the hint of joy in Jian Ruoxi's tone, Hu Lan knew in her heart that Lu Shen had finally let go and was no longer monitoring Jian Ruoxi.

Then his studio would be useless, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to use it to blackmail Jian Ruoxi, hoping that she would come back for the sake of the studio.

Jian Ruoxi said tactfully, "I can continue to take on business activities and filming here at Huarui. I want to stay and work here."

"After all, Huarui is the largest entertainment company, and their business is much more sophisticated. If your studio has any problems and needs compensation, I can transfer the money to you."

Hu Lan on the other end of the phone gave a wry smile, "This little bit of money doesn't need you to compensate me."

Knowing that she had let Hu Lan down, Jian Ruoxi thought to herself that since the studio was already open, it shouldn't be wasted. She should introduce a few new people to his company.

“I know a few new actors who aren’t getting many resources at Huarui Company. How about I introduce them to you and you see if they’ll take them on?” Jian Ruoxi offered a solution.

Hu Lan was quite generous: "Sure, just send them your company's business card and let them come to the company for an interview."

The two reached an agreement.

The annual film festival is coming soon, and Lu Shen has allowed Jian Ruoxi to participate in this event.

All the female stars are now vying for big-name resources, having their agents compete for the few luxury brands available, preparing to shine on stage and gain a certain amount of attention.

Han Mingyi and Hu Xuezhi are rising stars who are just beginning to emerge, so they naturally receive sponsorships from some brands, and their clothes are gorgeous and their looks are stunning.

With the help of the makeup artist, Hu Xuezhi got dressed, admired her perfect curves in the mirror, and said to Han Mingyi, "This clothing is nice."

Looking at Hu Xuezhi's stunning beauty in the mirror, Han Mingyi praised her without reservation: "Of course, it's all thanks to your top-notch figure, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pull it off."

"I wonder what Jian Ruoxi will wear to the film festival."

The news of Jian Ruoxi's return spread throughout the company. Han Mingyi and Hu Xuezhi had barely been happy for two days when they heard that unlucky name again.

Hu Xuezhi mocked, "After getting pregnant, which pregnant woman's figure doesn't change? Even Jian Ruoxi couldn't escape it."

"Then we'll have to really appreciate her out-of-shape figure," Han Mingyi added with a mocking laugh.
