Chapter 126 Breaking Through the Gloom

Xu Jingyan.

This name has appeared at this very moment.

Brother Lin actually met with her.

In the past, Brother Lin would advise her to have less contact with Xu Jingyan.

I was so surprised that I forgot to react.

"Luo Luo?"

Jiang Luo finally came to her senses. "What...does Xu Jingyan want with you?"

"She wants to leave her old employer and start her own business."

Unexpected, yet perfectly logical.

Hearing what Brother Lin said, Jiang Luo wasn't as surprised as she had been at first.

Everyone has a heart, and ninety percent of Xu Jingyan's heart is devoted to her career.

She had shown her disgust for the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry to Jiang Luo more than once, but she could also get along intimately with producers and directors.

She is someone who can integrate acting skills into her very being; the difference between truth and fiction is entirely up to her.

Jiang Luo lowered her head slightly, the damp face mask clinging to her neck, essence lingering on her collarbone. She asked, "So?"

“So…” Following her words, Brother Lin’s tone was drawn out, as if he was suppressing his excitement while carefully choosing his words, “She wants to sign you.”

"Huh?" Jiang Luo was taken aback.

"She still has some feelings for you," Brother Lin said, acting as Xu Jingyan's mediator.

Noticing Xiao Lin's change, Jiang Luo suddenly grabbed the face mask, got up and threw it into the trash can, then curled up in the single sofa in the room.

The sofa is shaped like a banana; lying inside it feels like becoming part of the banana pulp—very safe.

"If I join her company, you'll come with me, right?" Jiang Luo's expression was less joyful than before, her fingers gripping the "banana peel" and her fingertips stroking the fuzzy fabric.

Brother Lin didn't try to hide anything and frankly admitted, "Yes."

"What are the conditions for joining her company?" Jiang Luo asked again.

Jiang Luo just wanted an answer, but Brother Lin started rambling: "Starting a new company is bound to be very busy. To make a profit as soon as possible, you will definitely need to put in more effort."

Inevitable. Inevitable.

With her brows furrowed into two small hills, Jiang Luo patiently listened to Brother Lin finish speaking before asking, "What... are the conditions?"

"She hopes you won't date for the next three years."

Jiang Luo paused, then sat up, head hanging low. "Why?"

"That's definitely so you can focus on your career," Lin Heng said, his tone no longer as irritable as it had been a few days ago when discussing opportunities.

If he alone cannot compare to He Ziyan's importance in Jiang Luo's heart, then adding Xu Jingyan would make him equal.

He knew that all along, despite his many attempts to dissuade her, Jiang Luo still regarded Xu Jingyan as a friend.

The addition of Xu Jingyan gave Lin Heng hope.

Jiang Luo remained silent for a moment, then suddenly pursed her lips, deflated like a punctured balloon, and said without any restraint, "That's not how it is."

The light fell from above, enveloping her.

The bright white light illuminated her heart.

There are many things in this world that she is unhappy about, but in the past, she mostly chose to accept them.

Accept dissatisfaction, process dissatisfaction, and forget dissatisfaction.

But now, everything is different.

He Ziyan's appearance made her feel supported and confident, and showed her that there was someone who could support her without any reason.

She firmly believed that He Ziyan would always be there for her, so she had more courage to say certain things.

"Brother Lin, I actually know that Xu Jingyan has a morbid possessiveness towards me." Her fingers slid across the carpet as she whispered, "And you too."

Obedience and compliance are the true nature of Jiang Luo, hidden behind her unfriendly appearance.

Having not experienced many beautiful relationships since childhood, I am more easily moved by other people's advances.

When Lin Heng does something she doesn't like, she will first think of what Lin Heng has done for her.

When Xu Jingyan's press releases came in, she would recall the happy times they had during the filming of "Twin Lotus".

They had given her wonderful experiences, so when unhappiness struck, she instinctively chose to endure it.

So, I'm always struggling with exhaustion.

Right now, a ray of light is shining into her life, piercing straight through the gloom, allowing her to fearlessly expose everything.

The name of that ray of light is He Ziyan.
