Because of one sentence, "She's back," Jian Ruo Xi's three-year marriage came to an end.
Fortunately, with the help of her sister-in-law, she quickly made a comeback and becam...
Looking at that face so close to hers, Jian Ruoxi felt a little flustered.
She pressed herself firmly against Lu Shen's chest and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
Recalling the way Jian Ruoxi clung to the male supporting character's leg, Lu Shen chuckled.
"Don't you really enjoy being with men? Now you're pretending to be innocent."
Jian Ruoxi's face flushed red instantly, and she forcefully pushed the man in front of her away.
But she was just a weak woman; how could she possibly withstand a man's strength?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Shen's face pressed down, and he kissed her lips fiercely.
The familiar scent swept through her nostrils, and Jian Ruoxi involuntarily tensed her back, then bit him hard.
With a muffled groan, Lu Shen released Jian Ruoxi, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Jian Ruoxi took the opportunity to get up and saw that his hands were still wrapped in gauze, and she felt a little sorry for him.
"Lu Shen, I..."
Lu Shen slowly propped himself up, then turned around, his eyes filled with anger.
Then he coldly uttered a single word.
"roll."
Jian Ruoxi bit her lip and ran away without looking back.
She hailed a taxi and arrived at the Huacheng Hotel.
As soon as I closed the door, all my strength crumbled.
Recalling Lu Shen's word "get lost," a sense of humiliation washed over her.
Jian Ruoxi clenched her teeth, held back the tears welling up in her eyes, and quickly walked into the shower room.
The moderate water temperature allowed her slightly stiff limbs to gradually relax, and her mood calmed down considerably.
That's good, Lu Shen probably won't bother her anymore.
No matter what, she will finish making this movie.
As Jian Ruoxi was lost in thought, the phone rang.
I quickly dried myself off and ran to the living room.
The number is unfamiliar.
"Hello, I'm Jian Ruoxi."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp, sarcastic voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"You know perfectly well that the Lu family doesn't like the entertainment industry, so why did you still go and act? You just wanted to use this trick to get close to A-Shen, Jian Ruoxi, you're a shameless little bitch."
Without asking, Jian Ruoxi knew that it was Li Anran who was making the call.
Hearing the exasperated voice, Jian Ruoxi said calmly.
"What, are you scared?"
Li Anran gritted her teeth, desperately trying to regain her composure.
“Shen loves me so much, how could I be afraid? I just find you disgusting, Jian Ruoxi. If I were you, I would divorce Shen immediately.”
Jian Ruoxi said sarcastically, "I hope you can understand that it is your Ashen who has been refusing to sign. Since you are so capable, hurry up and make him divorce me."
After Jian Ruoxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Within five minutes, more than twenty text messages came in.
Jian Ruoxi took a screenshot and sent it directly to Lu Shen.
Keep your woman in check.
He then promptly turned off his phone.
Li Anran's outburst dispelled Jian Ruoxi's negative emotions, and she regained her fighting spirit.
She took out the script, memorized her lines for a while, and arrived at the company the next day full of confidence.
The assistant director saw her and hurriedly came over with a smile, his eyes full of flattery.
"Miss Jian, you've arrived! Director Lu has been waiting for you for ages."
"Thank you, I'll go change my clothes now."
Jian Ruoxi responded with a kind smile and walked straight into the dressing room.
She wouldn't hit someone who's smiling at her, and she wouldn't hold a grudge about things from the past.
The makeup artist became much more polite, quickly finished her makeup, and asked several times if she was satisfied, making Jian Ruoxi feel flattered.
Half an hour later, Jian Ruoxi walked into the photography studio.
After some camera adjustments, the first scene depicting the man and woman getting to know each other began.
Under Su Ziyu's guidance, Jian Ruoxi quickly got into character, and the filming went very smoothly.
Lu Jin was very satisfied with Jian Ruoxi's performance and gave her a rare thumbs up.
Jian Ruoxi was greatly encouraged and filmed for sixteen hours straight.
I was so tired at night that I glanced at the lines a few times and then drifted off to sleep.
The next few days went smoothly; Lu Shen neither came again nor made any more phone calls.
Under the intense workload, Jian Ruoxi had almost forgotten about this person.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lu Jin suddenly announced that he would finish work early and asked Jian Ruoxi to stay behind alone.
Jian Ruoxi was a little uneasy.
"Was it because I acted badly?"
Lu Jin hooked his arm around her shoulder, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked languid.
"Don't worry, you acted very well. Even though you haven't acted for three years, your acting skills are still top-notch. Grandma called and asked me to bring you home for dinner."
Jian Ruoxi's expression changed slightly.
"Lu Jin, could you help me push it?"
Grandma didn't like her and had been making trouble for her ever since the day she entered the family.
She knew this perfectly well.
Things were a little better when Grandpa was alive, but ever since he passed away, Grandma has become even worse, making things difficult for her every time.
This is also why Jian Ruoxi rarely goes to the Lu family's old residence.
Lu Jin had been back a few times, so he naturally knew why Jian Ruoxi didn't want to go back.
Of course, she wouldn't want to go back to that home unless absolutely necessary.
"Anyway, you and Lu Shen are already divorced. If my grandma says anything unpleasant, you can just leave. There's no need to listen to her nonsense. I'm just going back to go through the motions, after all, it's her birthday today."
It turns out it was a birthday.
Jian Ruoxi bit her lip, looking somewhat troubled. After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke in a muffled voice.
"Okay, I'll go buy some gifts."
"No need, I've already chosen everything for you, let's go."
Halfway there, Lu Jin suddenly received a phone call and immediately stopped the car.
"I need to go get a script. You can take a taxi first. I'll be there in ten minutes."
Jian Ruoxi was somewhat helpless, but she still nodded.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of a quaint villa.
Jian Ruoxi stood at the door for a long time, but Lu Jin didn't come back, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.
The moment the door opened, a heavily made-up face came into view.
Jian Ruoxi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Anran to be there as well.
Grandma Lu was holding her hand, chatting and laughing.
The old lady's smile vanished the moment she saw Jian Ruoxi.
"Oh, isn't this the big star who's making a comeback? Jian Ruoxi, you're really something."
Jian Ruoxi pursed her lips and handed over the gift box.
Happy birthday, Grandma.
Grandma Lu snorted and said bluntly, "With you around, how can I be happy? Jian Ruoxi, why haven't you divorced A-Shen yet?"
Lu Jin frowned, wanting to turn around and leave.
But when she thought of how Lu Jin had taken care of her, she held back.
"Grandma misunderstood. It's Lu Shen who hasn't contacted me."
Grandma Lu sneered and said, "You mean... Ah Shen can't bear to part with you? Jian Ruoxi, don't try to flatter yourself."
