Shen Wenran felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.

However, to Shen Wenran's dismay, even so, she had to force a smile.

At this moment, Old Master Lu also looked at Shen Wenran with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You like acting?"

Shen Wenran smiled obediently and nodded without showing any emotion: "I've liked it since I was little."

—Only a genius would like that!

—Back then, the original owner entered the entertainment industry for money!

—But now… just bear with it, for the sake of so many young and handsome men.

The book doesn't describe the cannon fodder ex-wife much, only that she is the daughter of the Shen family, was switched at birth, and her adoptive parents were poor. However, one day she was spotted by a talent scout because of her looks and thus began to enjoy the sweetness of being an actress.

Then, she married Lu Jinghuai because of an engagement.

In fact, she only realized what it meant to be married into the book because of a marriage contract, but rather to be a substitute bride!

It's a classic melodramatic CEO romance novel with a substitute bride trope.

Unfortunately, without the female lead's halo, she'll always be cannon fodder.

So she tried countless methods, but none of them could change her fate of becoming Lu Jinghuai's love interest in the early stages.

Upon hearing his words, Old Master Lu tightened his grip on his cane.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Do you know that actors are not fit for the mainstream?"

Shen Wenran knew that people with prominent family backgrounds, especially the older generation, tended to have very traditional ideas and values.

It's understandable that people look down on actors.

So she continued to deal with the situation calmly.

"It's really just a personal hobby. I only choose roles that I like to play, and I don't just take any role if I'm paid."

Heavens above, earth below, all I want is to be a good-for-nothing who just loafs around and waits to die.

But when her eyes fell on Lu Jinghuai's high-end custom-made leather shoes, she changed her mind.

—Forget it, rather than serving that perverted good-for-nothing Lu Jinghuai, I'd better just obediently go and act.

Lu Jinghuai, who was called a perverted waste by Shen Wenran, glanced at Shen Wenran silently.

The woman kept her eyes down, appearing gentle and obedient.

This is completely opposite to when she's on her phone furiously arguing with netizens.

Lu Jinghuai felt that this was the woman's true nature.

Grandpa Lu nodded: "Yes, our Lu family is not short of money. If it's just a hobby, then it's fine."

"But tell me, how should this be handled?"

Shen Wenran stared at Old Master Lu in front of her with her big eyes, completely bewildered.

At the same time, Lu Jinghuai lowered his voice and reminded him.

"It's about you wearing my shirt and filming a video, cough cough... that attracted a lot of haters."

"Of course, these haters are also a result of the good things you did in the past."

Shen Wenran glanced at him.

—You reminded me? Thank you.

Although that's what she thought in her heart, she looked at Grandpa Lu and said, "Grandpa, I'm just angry. Everyone says I'm not good enough for Jinghuai..."

"So I was so angry that I wanted to take a nice photo shoot to outshine her, so I just casually wore Jinghuai's white shirt."

—Heaven is my witness, I was wearing that scoundrel's clothes at the time, and I really didn't mean to imply that I was having an affair with that scoundrel!

—Waaaaah, if I really wanted to do that, I would just throw the marriage certificate at him and slap him.

Lu Jinghuai was also surprised.

Even he thought that Shen Wenran wore his shirt so that netizens would uncover the details after he posted the picture.

Now it seems he was overthinking things.

This woman is clearly what netizens call "big breasts, no brains".

After pondering those four words, Lu Jinghuai couldn't help but look at her upper body.

Yes, she is quite plump.

Of course, Master Lu didn't believe Shen Wenran's explanation.

In his view, actors are fickle and heartless.

The fact that Shen Wenran had previously worked as an actor made him even more dissatisfied.

But what can he do now?

Therefore, he turned his gaze to Lu Jinghuai.

“Jinghuai, now that you’re awake, Wenran’s affairs are your affairs. Since you’re going to support her career, I think you should know what to do.”

Lu Jinghuai simply replied gently, "Okay, Grandpa."

Grandpa Lu glanced at the young couple again, then slowly stood up.

"Alright, that's all for today. You two should get some rest."

After Old Master Lu left, Shen Wenran felt as if she, who had almost turned into a quail, had come back to life in an instant.

She let out a breath and lay down directly on the sofa.

Lu Jinghuai glanced at her and said calmly, "Go back to your room and rest."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenran reflexively replied, "I'm not sleepy yet. I want to rest here for a while."

Lu Jinghuai said in a deep voice, "I need to rest."

Shen Wenran: "..."

"Okay, honey, I'll take you back to your room to rest now."

—Damn it, I really don't want to go back to the room to sleep with you!

—Your grandfather is really cunning and shrewd. I almost couldn't keep up with those few glances just now.

—Ahhh, I want to make a comeback, I want to act, I don't want to take care of disabled people.

Shen Wenran's heart was already roaring like a beast.

But as soon as she stood up, she knocked over her grandfather's teacup.

Lu Jinghuai was right next to the table when the spilled tea splashed onto his leg.

Lu Jinghuai: "..."

Intentional?

"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry, are you burned? Should I take a look...?"

—Damn it, why isn't it boiling water?

—Huh, why is that jerk so calm? He didn't jump up??
