"Yin Yin, it's settled! What kind of magic do you have? I heard that director was super hard to get, and you managed to get him in just one night."

Liu Yue was overjoyed. This opportunity was crucial, as it affected Su Yinyin's future development in China. While overseas, Su Yinyin had faced a lot of doubts about her development.

Many people think that the Western performance model is different from that in China. Su Yinyin's current style is only popular overseas. Now China likes young and fair-skinned new generation actresses, so she may not have a market even if she returns.

Su Yinyin held her forehead. It was really hard not to think too much about what Liu Yue said.

"What a coincidence! The director of that movie happens to be Lu Jingxu."

"Teacher Lu???!!!" Liu Yue's voice suddenly rose. "I also heard that he switched to working behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that he would become a director himself..."

As she spoke, she remembered something and lowered her voice, cautiously probing, "So, are you... okay?"

"It's okay, Director of Team B. We probably won't see each other often."

Liu Yue finally felt relieved and hung up the phone.

It was best that Su Yinyin didn't think too much about it.

Three years ago, Lu Jingxu faded out of the entertainment industry after a car accident. Coincidentally, Su Yinyin went abroad. Many people speculated that their relationship had broken down, causing a group of CP fans to denounce the studio online, hoping that the studio would give an explanation.

After this matter was handled coldly for almost a year, there was no movement. This time the two of them are working together again, and this news cannot but spread. Fortunately, there is still some time before the official announcement of the lineup, so it is enough to keep it secret from the Wei family.

On the contrary, how to deal with public opinion is a big problem. When it becomes known to everyone, it is not known what extreme behavior Zhao Jing will take.

When she left, she promised herself that as long as she left, she would have plenty of ways to make Lu Jingxu stay by her side, but she didn't know if she succeeded.

Su Yinyin had nothing to do the whole morning. She had only had such a leisurely time for a few days while abroad. Just as she was about to open her mobile phone to play a game, an unfamiliar friend request appeared on the WeChat interface.

When she went abroad three years ago, she cancelled the WeChat account on her previous phone. Except for a few necessary contacts, all her contact information was gone.

Not knowing where this person got her WeChat, Su Yinyin thought, what if they were the directors and producers she met yesterday? It would be impolite to refuse them rashly, so she accepted her friend request.

【We are already friends, come and chat with me】

【Hello】

The other party simply and violently sent a link. Su Yinyin hesitated for a while and clicked on it.

The screen showed a photo of Zhao Jing and Lu Jingxu standing together arm in arm.

[Tomorrow is our engagement party. I heard you've returned to China. Would you be able to come and see us if you have time?]

Su Yinyin's fingers paused. She knew it was Zhao Jing from the tone of her voice... It seemed that her worries just now were unnecessary. She had already taken care of Lu Jingxu.

Su Yinyin felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to delete her directly.

But I still subconsciously sent a message: [I won’t go, I wish you a happy marriage]

Zhao Jing: Thank you, but that sounds really fake.

Zhao Jing: But it doesn't matter. It would be better if you come when we get married. Lu Jingxu would probably be eager to meet you too. (Hint: You and the other person are no longer friends, so you can't send messages.)

[Zhao Jing: Su Yinyin, you! (Hint: You and the other party are no longer friends, so you can't send messages)]

Zhao Jing angrily threw her phone onto the sofa. When she stood up and saw Lu Jingxu coming out of the room, the anger she had ignited instantly died down.

Her expression changed in the blink of an eye. She stood up with a smile and looked at Lu Jingxu who was walking out. She hurriedly walked forward and said, "Jingxu, are you going out?"

Lu Jingxu nodded lightly.

"You came back so late last night, and you're up so early today. If the company is too busy, you can let someone else take care of it. Tomorrow is our big day."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and adjusted his bow tie: "Why aren't you wearing the one you wore yesterday? Don't you like the one I bought you?"

"Something got rubbed against that tie yesterday, so I took it to be washed."

She pursed her lips, and only after hearing the reason did she give up: "Okay, then remember to come back early."

──

The room was stuffy, with a faint light coming through the blackout curtains, becoming the only source of light in the room. The room was filled with smoke. Su Yinyin exhaled a puff of smoke and choked twice.

The wooden floor was covered with cigarette butts. She had finished a pack in less than half a day.

This smoking habit was taught to her by a friend abroad. She tried it by chance and felt it was pretty good.

Although I'm not addicted, I get revenge when I'm under a lot of pressure.

Even though I felt like my lungs were about to be drained dry, I couldn't stop at this moment.

She suppressed her violently shaking chest, brushed off the cigarette ash, coughed dully twice, and looked at the newly sent script.

Suddenly, a bright light came from behind her and the door was opened, probably blown open by the wind. Su Yinyin ignored it. She heard footsteps and when she reacted, the cigarette in her hand was pinched out by someone and thrown away.

She looked up in fear and found Lu Jingxu standing in front of her.

It’s hard to describe what that feeling was, but what is certain is that Su Yinyin heard the sound of her own heart beating violently.

He drew aside the curtains and opened the windows for ventilation, then stood at the window and looked down. The room was eerily quiet.

Su Yinyin wanted to break the atmosphere:

"You're getting engaged tomorrow, and you're still thinking about your ex today, Lu Jingxu. Aren't you afraid I'll tell Zhao Jing?"
