Lin Long transmigrated into the only surviving dragon cub on Dragon Island, spoiled to the heavens by a line of dragon dads one through six, developing a habit of loving gold even more than beautie...
It has to be said that when such an iconic face as Lin Jiashu appeared on the live broadcast, people inside and outside the camera couldn't help but get excited and kept looking at the handsome young man in front of them.
He was the third son of the wealthy Lin family, a member of the Lin family who usually only appeared on important occasions or charity dinners. Yet, now, he had lowered himself to the set of the program, just to personally deliver a lunch box to his own sister?
My god, what a perfect brother he is! Not only is he good-looking and wealthy, but he also loves his sister so much! Although I heard that the Lin family dotes on Lin Zhuer, I didn't expect them to dote on her to this extent!
For a moment, almost everyone was envious of Lin Zhu'er. The way they looked at her suddenly became different, with an especially fiery look that made Lin Zhu'er feel a little embarrassed. With a red face, she shrank to the side of her third brother, Lin Jiashu, and nervously and shyly pulled at the corner of Lin Jiashu's clothes, whispering softly:
"Third brother, how could we trouble you? You've only just taken over the project given by Dad, so you must be very busy. Isn't it just a small matter like delivering lunch boxes? Just ask someone else to help deliver it. Why do you need to come in person?"
Hearing his sister Lin Zhuer's slightly coquettish words, Lin Jiashu's smile became even more doting. He reached out and touched Lin Zhuer's head to comfort her, "Isn't it because your third brother is a little worried about you? You are such a big fool, how can I feel at ease if other people come, especially..."
Lin Jiashu didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but while he was saying this, his eyes glanced to the side inadvertently, with a bit of alertness on his face. And in that direction, was none other than Lin Long, who was keeping a certain distance from the others.
Suddenly, everyone understood what Lin Jiashu meant by "not at ease". It was obvious that because he knew that Lin Long, who had framed his sister and wanted to disfigure his beloved sister, was here, he had to make this trip in person no matter how busy he was. In addition to personally delivering the lunch box, he also supported Lin Zhuer and warned Lin Long not to act rashly.
Lin Zhu'er naturally understood what Lin Jiashu meant. When no one else saw, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a very smug expression.
Of course, when facing the crowd, Lin Zhuer's face had a completely different expression. She looked like a good girl who didn't want to cause trouble and loved her sister. With a look of 'disapproval' on her face, she shook Lin Jiashu's sleeve:
"Third brother, don't be like this. Lin Long is our sister too. What happened last time must have been an accident. She wouldn't hurt me on purpose...Okay, third brother, didn't you bring me a lunch box? What's delicious?"
"Zhu'er, you are always like this. Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Lin Jiashu looked at Lin Zhu'er with a doting yet helpless expression, thinking that his own Zhu'er was simply too kind, which was why she was being bullied like this. As expected, only someone like Lin Zhu'er was worthy of being their sister, not that young, yet vicious woman over there.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiashu felt even more distressed for Lin Zhu'er. He stretched out his hand and opened the lunch box he had brought with him. As soon as he opened it, the "Tenglong Pavilion" logo suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, causing the people around him to exclaim in surprise:
"This is a bento from Tenglong Pavilion?! It's Tenglong Pavilion? They say they never allow takeout for regular customers, saying it would affect the taste of the ingredients. If you really want to take out, you have to be at least a Platinum member. Not only do you have to make a reservation in advance, but there's also a quota. You can't order more than three takeout bento boxes a day."
"That's true." Lin Jiashu nodded.
"I arrived late today and almost missed out on the last spot. I was supposed to be in line this afternoon, but the Chinese manager of Tenglong Pavilion and I have a good relationship, so he prepared it for me in advance. My sister loves Tenglong Pavilion's signature dishes, and we have to go filming outdoors today. It's so tiring, how can we not eat something good? Tenglong Pavilion doesn't have many dishes, just one signature dish and my sister's favorite dessert, so I also bought some food from other places."
As he spoke, Lin Jiashu took out the other lunch boxes one by one. There were many varieties, all of which were signature dishes of everyone. They were quite sumptuous and filled up the entire table.
This was obviously not the portion for one person. Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Jiashu called other guests and even the program staff, asking them to eat something to fill their stomachs, and thanked them for helping to look after his sister when he was away. He also said that the portion was large, so there was no need to worry. If it was not enough, they could just order more. With him there, it would not be a problem at all.
Lin Jiashu's wealthy move made everyone at the scene cheer. Even Director Wu and the program director couldn't help but smile. Needless to say, Lin Zhuer acted like a host and greeted everyone enthusiastically. The atmosphere at the scene was particularly warm, but all of this... had nothing to do with Lin Long.
There were a few staff members at the scene who were hesitant about whether to invite Lin Long in. After all, the current situation was similar to a celebration, and all of them, including the staff, were gathered together. No matter how you look at it, Lin Long was one of the guests of the show, so no matter how you look at it, he should be counted.
However, before they could finish their words, they were interrupted intentionally or unintentionally by the "protective sister" Lin Zhu'er. Or to be more precise, Lin Zhu'er did it on purpose, isolating Lin Long at the scene and embarrassing her.
This point was even more clearly reflected when others called out the names of Lin Long's female makeup artist and senior Zhang Yi, but did not call out Lin Long's name.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Long can now be considered isolated by other guests and even the entire program team.
Zhang Yi, who was called, responded but did not go over immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Lin Long, who had been staring blankly in the direction of Lin Jiashu from the beginning. After holding back for a while, she finally couldn't help but speak:
"Lin Long, I don't know what you're thinking right now, but you'd better control your behavior. Since you want your brother to forgive you, you should be more restrained. Just like Zhu'er said, honestly change your ways and apologize to the Lin family. Maybe you can even get their forgiveness. Zhu'er will help you too. She's a good girl. Do you hear me?"
"I'm not deaf, of course I heard it, Teacher Zhang, but I don't think I need to listen to what you said."
"Do you think I'm not qualified to advise you? I'm your senior, and I'm giving you advice because I think you're not that bad." Zhang Yi couldn't help but frown.
That’s right, from Zhang Yi’s point of view, she shouldn’t be polite to Lin Long.
But just when she was putting on makeup, the other party's generous praise and her attitude towards Yang Yiyi at the beginning made her feel that Lin Long might not be so bad. After all, she was already a veteran in the circle and could still judge people accurately. Whether someone had malicious intentions or not could be seen from their face.
But Lin Long did not give her such a feeling. Instead, her extremely natural expression and attitude, and her purely appreciative eyes, made her feel for the first time that being with Lin Long was not uncomfortable at all, but rather a rare sense of leisure. This was quite different from the impression she had of Lin Long from the outside world.
This was also the reason why she couldn't help frowning from the beginning. She was afraid that she would become gentle inadvertently. Because of this, Zhang Yi, as an old person, felt that Lin Long might still be saved, so she couldn't help but persuade her with a few words.
Lin Long… turned her head and glanced at Zhang Yi. She seemed to understand what she meant, but she didn't care much. She just spread her hands and said:
"You misunderstood, Teacher Zhang. Since I can call you teacher, it's because I respect you and believe you are qualified. The reason I don't need to listen to your advice is because... I never thought I was wrong. If I'm not wrong, how can I admit it? Teacher Zhang, don't you agree?"
Lin Long really refuses to repent. Even though he made such an outrageous mistake, he still insists that he is not wrong and refuses to admit it.
Zhang Yi was a little angry for a moment, and subconsciously said, "No matter what, you still want your family to forgive you, right? Otherwise, why did you stare at your third brother Lin Jiashu for so long?"
Isn't this a lingering affection, a desire to seek forgiveness, or something else?
After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Lin Long paused, and suddenly realized that Zhang Yi seemed to have misunderstood something. She couldn't help but laugh, and her face was full of joy. Zhang Yi's face turned black, and her brows knitted tighter. Just when she thought that Lin Long was not worth advising, she heard the other party say:
"Oh, sorry, Senior Zhang, I didn't see Lin Jiashu. What's so good about that guy? He's not as good-looking as me. I saw that bento. I smelled the aroma a long time ago and I'm feeling hungry. I heard that the food at Tenglong Pavilion tastes very good. I wonder if the crayfish there is also delicious and expensive? I don't know if the money in my card can afford it, ah~"
As Lin Long said this, he couldn't help but touch his hungry stomach. The hungry expression on his face was unusually real, without any disguise. But Zhang Yi beside him was full of disbelief. Obviously, she didn't think that Lin Long stared at Lin Jiashu for so long just because he was hungry.
This is really a huge misunderstanding. Lin Long was just trying to look in the direction of Lin Jiashu. Wasn't it just that the lunch box was in Lin Jiashu's hand?
When Lin Long smelled the aroma of food, he just remembered that he had not eaten anything in the morning and felt even hungrier. He couldn't help but try hard to recall how much money was left in his card and whether he could ask the director to let him go out for a satisfying meal before coming back. He was a little distracted by the thought and looked a little dull, which made people around him think that they were staring at Lin Jiashu.
As for being isolated, intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Long didn't really feel anything. They were irrelevant and uncaring people, so how could she feel uncomfortable? If she really cared, she wouldn't have agreed to participate in the show.
The only mistake she made was that the other party actually used food to break down her defenses. The food looked delicious, which made her almost ravenous. Well, she had better fill her stomach before coming back, otherwise she would cry with ravenousness later.
Thinking of this, Lin Long stood up and wanted to walk towards the director, hoping that the director would let her go find something to eat.
At this moment, there were two "knock knocks" and the door of the dressing room was opened again.
However, no staff came in to report in advance, nor were they any staff members or guests from the program team. What appeared in front of everyone was a middle-aged gentleman dressed very appropriately, holding a takeaway lunch box with several layers in his hand.
On the top layer of the bento, the logo of 'Tenlong Pavilion' is clearly visible.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the program's director and several high-ranking staff members on the scene immediately recognized the middle-aged gentleman's face. Their eyes widened in shock. Who else could it be but their boss, Lao Zhan?!
But the next second, they saw the middle-aged gentleman, their boss, Lao Zhan, who smiled at them and said, "Don't mind me, I'm just running an errand for my boss and coming here to deliver a lunch box."
