Too Many Accidents

Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School is tall, rich and handsome

Throughout history, countless people have pondered the question of what to do if they are cheated on, but Lu Xinyang never imagined that one day he would become one of these "countless people".

Things were scattered all over the living room. The intricately patterned dark red carpet was covered with pillows, ornaments, glasses and other sundries, leaving no place to step.

The instigator, Lu Xinyang, half-knelt on the coffee table that was vertically against the storage cabinet, and fell into deep thought while staring at his own reflection on the LCD TV screen that was less than ten centimeters away.

He tried to find something wrong with the handsome reflection.

Something must be wrong, right?

Think about Lu Xinyang, he's lived for almost twenty-three years. With a wealthy family and good looks, everything he does is easy. Finding a partner is no problem, too. He's risen from kindergarten hunk to university hunk, and his admirers are so numerous they couldn't even fill ten football fields. Yet, he's always maintained a pristine image, and only just this year did he get his first girlfriend.

His girlfriend is smart and beautiful, and she treats him very well, loving and gentle. Now that winter is coming, she is afraid that he will have a cold head, so she also gave him a little green hat that she knitted by herself.

So Lu Xinyang got his first ex-girlfriend again in his life, and welcomed the winter with a burning anger that was not cold at all, wearing a cuckold.

This was so frustrating that handsome Lu jumped off the coffee table in anger, kicked the pillow away, and threw himself onto the sofa on his back. He then instructed his assistant, Xiao Tang, to apply the most expensive facial mask that his mother had locked in the safe. "Honestly, tell me the truth. Has my charm decreased? Is my nose flat or are my eyes swollen?"

Looking at Lu Xinyang's messy head and his face that was so messy that his facial features couldn't be seen due to the uneven application of the mask, Tang Lin thought to himself, I dare not tell the truth.

He sniffed the remaining cream on his fingers and hesitantly applied some to his face, saying casually, "You must be overthinking it. How could your charm decrease? You're a handsome man, so charming and suave."

"That's right," Lu Xinyang nodded in agreement, then asked in confusion, "Then why did she treat me like this?"

Although he is a handsome, rich and handsome man of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, he maintains a high moral bottom line. Not only is he a self-disciplined and upright person, he also likes to help old ladies cross the street.

His shining character is just like the righteous sunshine shining on a pigeon egg diamond ring!

So why did that woman cheat on him? What went wrong?

The more he endured, the angrier he got. The more he took a step back, the more he thought about what he was at a disadvantage. Lu Xinyang kicked his legs in annoyance, and his flying slippers drew a perfect parabola and fell into the bulletproof glass fish tank his father had just bought with a "plop".

Water splashed all over the ground, and the goldfish quickly flapped its tail and hid away.

"How's the crew's progress? Why don't I go and urge them? I'm in a hurry to join the crew to film. By then, I'll become famous overnight, win the Best Actor award at the award ceremony, and in my thank-you speech, I'll ask her why she cheated on me in front of the whole country..." Lu Xinyang muttered sadly, threw off his other slipper, and then rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the fish tank.

Tang Lin asked, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Xinyang stood in front of the fish tank, his expression looking somewhat serious: "I want to get it out."

Tang Lin's gaze shifted to the slipper that lay peacefully on the bottom of the floor. "There's no need for such a big fuss."

"Yes, yes," Lu Xinyang said, reaching out to grab the fish that were running around in the tank without even turning back. The half-dried mask on his face made his messy eyebrows stand out. "Only a warm hug can comfort its frightened body and soul."

"...Wait a minute, don't try to catch that fish if you haven't even washed your hands!"

Lu Xinyang said solemnly, "You don't understand. I read it online. Experts say that cooking fish and rubber together can be poisonous—shoe soles are made of rubber, right?"

Tang Lin: “????”

He looked down at the cashmere slippers with sheepskin soles, his expression a little frozen.

"Leaving it with the slippers could lead to a terrible food poisoning disaster."

Lu Xinyang was seen moving back and forth in front of the large fish tank like a crab, trying very hard to catch the terrified fish. "It shouldn't suffer like this. I have to comfort it. Then, while it's not paying attention, I'll put it in the pot and wash it. I'll disinfect it with boiling water and add some chili..."

Tang Lin: “…” Actually, you just want to find an excuse to eat it, right? Don’t think I don’t know that you have been secretly craving it for a long time.

Of course, Lu Xinyang didn't get to eat the fish in the end.

It’s not because of some messed-up reason like “fish and rubber cannot be eaten together”. After all, nothing edible can be eaten together with rubber… not to mention that Lu Xinyang’s shoes have nothing to do with rubber at all.

The real reason was that Lu Xinyang’s ex-girlfriend happened to post on Weibo at this time.

@简振: Getting ready to go! This commercial is being filmed in Barcelona, ​​which is the most beautiful city in my mind. I'll bring gifts for everyone when I return! [Picture] [Picture]

Barcelona?

Seeing these four words, Lu Xinyang was so angry that he lost his appetite. "She clearly told me that Barcelona was where her parents died in a car accident. I comforted her for a long time at that time! How could she lie to me?"

"Who could have imagined she'd actually lie about this? Never mind, what's done is done," Tang Lin quickly highlighted the key points. "Don't worry about Barcelona for now. I just heard she's already opened a studio and is preparing to take on acting roles. How about you? How are you preparing?"

"What's there to prepare? I don't need a studio," Lu Xinyang pointed at the ceiling, his face full of pride at the size of his house. "I have so many rooms I can use for work!"

"Oh, I...I didn't ask you to compete with this!"

Tang Lin nearly hurled a barrage of curse words at him, but then skillfully restrained himself in just half a second: "I'm saying she's going to enter the entertainment industry. Her studio is affiliated with a big company, so it's easy for her to become famous with someone's support. So if you want to trip her up or dig a hole in her way, hurry up!"

"I do want to, but where do I start?" Lu Xinyang picked off a piece of half-dried facial mask from his cheek, and his expression suddenly became serious.

However, the word "profound" looked particularly out of place on his face. He spoke in a stiff, drawn-out tone, clearly imitating someone's voice: "As a person, you should be ambitious and broad-minded. You can't retaliate if someone looks down on you. How far she can go in her career depends entirely on her ability. How can you trip her up?"

Tang Lin looked at him with understanding. Lu Xinyang threw the white facial mask in his hand into the trash can and angrily grabbed his shoulders and shook them hard: "Do you think this is reasonable? Huh? Why is my mother standing on her side?"

That’s right, I knew Boss Lu couldn’t be serious... Tang Lin tried hard to pry his hands open, trying to break free from his shaking.

"Am I still her best and only son? That guy kicked me out! Isn't the damage she did to me enough? I'm turning green! Green! I think the carbon dioxide I exhale is green!"

Even as Tang Lin struggled, he didn't forget to flatter the boss: "Yes, yes, it's quite green... No, it's quite big! Very big!"

"That's right..." The cuckold in his heart ached slightly. Lu Xinyang squatted down with his knees hugged in grievance, licking his wounds pitifully.

Mr. Lu's ex-girlfriend, Ms. Jian Zhenjian, met Lu Xinyang when he failed the final exam and his parents confiscated his pocket money.

From this refreshing and unworldly beginning, the impoverished Master Lu smelled the scent of true love that was highly praised in Mary Sue movies and TV dramas. He no longer cared about his financial constraints and nodded expectantly in response to her generous display of affection.

He dated Jian Zhen with full confidence for three whole weeks, and even bought a calendar and actively marked it.

How long is three weeks? At least five hundred hours, which, rounded up, is seven hundred episodes of a massive legendary TV series!

Lu Xinyang felt that he was so promising. He was the lover that was hard to find in the world. He was the model house for young girls to pursue their dreams!

However, what the lover didn't expect was that true love didn't play by the rules at all, and he was cuckolded without even blinking an eye.

Idol dramas are all lies!

This was too much to bear. Master Lu licked his wounds and stood up, angrily swearing, "Humph, if my mom won't help me, there's still my dad! When I become super super super super popular, I'll invest in a drama that's not about idols, and let her play the heroine who has been dumped by me ten, no, twenty times!!"

Tang Lin rubbed his shoulders silently. He felt that if Lu Xinyang really planned to film this kind of drama... his ex-girlfriend might even laugh and participate...

"Wait a minute, is the studio you are talking about my economic team? I remember now." After his thoughts returned to his career, Lu Xinyang suddenly realized that this studio was not that studio.

He continued picking at the mask on his face while saying, "My dad has contacted me about this. He said it's a big team and a really great agent. But she hasn't called me in a few days. It seems like she's busy."

"I know. Sister Chang went to get resources for you. You haven't started work yet. The team has nothing to do and is just eating and drinking for free at home. That's why I asked how your preparations are going, especially if you've memorized the script."

Tang Lin thought for a moment and then reminded, "It seems the crew is almost there too. I remember they were auditioning another male lead today, and the location is right in your villa on the outskirts of the city."

When Lu Xinyang heard this, he turned around and said, "Audition? Then why didn't they ask me to go?"

Tang Lin raised his phone expressionlessly: "Yes, I called you eight hundred times."

"Impossible, definitely not eight hundred times," Lu Xinyang glanced down at the red unread number on the dialog box and said firmly, "Call me again and I'll hear it."

"Oh," Tang Lin called out in a dead voice, "Master Lu, Boss Lu, we're auditioning the male lead for your opposite role today. Would you be so kind as to go and take a look?"

"Go." The young master raised his foot with a firm voice.

Three seconds later, he returned to the bathroom, stuck his head under the faucet and rinsed it off to wash off the caked-on mask on his face.

Tang Lin silently opened the dialog box and sent a message to the casting director there, asking for a list of auditionees.

After taking a quick look at the list of handsome men of all kinds, Tang Lin couldn't help but recall how he went from an ordinary male college student to the personal assistant of a future male star.

It all started from the day when Young Master Lu was cheated on.

The Lu Group is one of the top business giants in China, and it is even more influential in the entertainment industry. The stars and high-quality film and television works produced by its subsidiaries almost occupy half of the entertainment industry.

However, being born in a family with a mine, Lu Xinyang's nerves are thicker than the mines. He only knows that he has been able to watch movies for free since he was a child, and he can book out any theater he wants. It seems that the theater staff are all very familiar with him.

So when Jian Zhen asked about his family background, he proudly told her, "My parents sell movie tickets."

The beautiful woman's smile froze on the spot.

Maybe she was only attracted by Lu Xinyang's eye-catching face and his even more eye-catching brand-name clothes. If it weren't for this little bit of gold and jade as a fig leaf, the endless rottenness in his mind would be enough to discourage 99.9% of the people in the world.

The remaining 0.1 percent is used to make cotton.

After learning this answer, Jian Zhen, a beautiful woman with millions of fans who is determined to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, is of course unwilling to waste her time with such a bastard, and turns around to choose a better next partner.

Lu Xinyang was still unaware of the green light flashing on his head.

At that time, he had just graduated from college a few months ago. The classmates around him were all striving towards a new direction for the future, so he also went with the flow and thought about life.

Young Master Lu was in a dilemma as to whether to inherit the family business or just live a life of idleness and wait for death.

Although he and his cronies had been squandering money together for many years and were like-minded in the crooked ways of not doing business, the biggest difference between them was that his cronies were all about the father leaving the son, while he sincerely hoped that his biological father Lu could live a few more decades.

Lu Xinyang thought about it for a long time. Inheriting the family business was indeed too difficult for him, but he was also a little tired of eating, drinking and having fun for more than 20 years.

What should I do?

Just give up on things you can't figure out for now. Lu Xinyang took out his phone and checked Weibo.

Then I saw my parents on the trending search.

Lu Xinyang: “???”

Could it be that they have the same name? Lu Xinyang clicked on it and found that Zhuoxing Media, a subsidiary of Lu Group, had signed a contract with a female star who has been very popular recently, and even gave her the movie resources that others were fighting for.

This incident caused quite a bit of controversy in public opinion, with some even speculating that she might be Lu Xinyang's stepmother. A large number of replies followed, all digging deep into "the stories that must be told about the Lu Group."

When Lu Xinyang saw this, three thoughts flashed through his mind.

First, it turns out that his parents do a lot of things in the entertainment industry. From now on, we can’t say that they sell movie tickets. It’s more accurate to say that they print movie tickets.

Second, this news was actually revealed a few days ago. Most of the netizens in the country have stopped surfing and are preparing to move on. He, the only eldest son of the Lu family, has just tasted a cold melon.

Third… what the hell? Why did someone stuff this into my head for no apparent reason?

Master Lu, who finally grasped the key point, was very unhappy and drove away in his beloved handsome car.

He rushed to Zhuoxing Media to hold them accountable, but the legendary stepmother had already joined the crew to film, and he couldn't even find the person involved.

The senior executives of Zhuoxing Media were afraid that he would vent his anger on them, so they quickly called a bunch of 18th-tier celebrities who were working from home to line up and flatter him.

The little stars were so good at saying nice things, each with a sweet smell, praising Lu Xinyang so much that he almost lost his sense of gravity. Then, they threw in some big terms like resource exchange and fan economy, and linked them together, and the matter was finally revealed in a muddled way.

Because he was so confused by what he heard, Lu Xinyang remembered his real girlfriend who he hadn't contacted for several days. He remembered that she once said that she wanted to be a female star, so he wanted to ask her.

So Lu Xinyang turned the car around and went to meet his girlfriend with a gift.

When they arrived at the place, before the car stopped, he looked out the window and found that his girlfriend was leaning against a long-haired man with heavy dark circles under his eyes. The man was also holding a two-meter-high gift box and showing her an elf princess made of countless lilies in the box.

Damn it! Lu Xinyang thought, how come this guy with dark circles under his eyes’ gift box is so much more conspicuous than mine!

At this moment, the fairy tale of the handsome man and beautiful woman suddenly turned into a poisonous chicken soup that said love is precious but money is even more valuable. Lu Xinyang was so angry that he jumped out of the car, grabbed the gift box at hand and smashed it at the man.

The man with dark circles under his eyes wasn't as handsome or energetic as him, but he could still be quite annoying when he got snarky: "Look at you young people these days. Oh, your quality is so low. Just because you give them a little gift, you think they'll be with you forever? Compared to me, your knowledge is shorter than the cigarette in your mouth."

Lu Xinyang never smoked, so he became even angrier and started beating people up with his fists without any sense of propriety.

A month later, the person who was beaten still hasn't had his plaster removed, and the person who did it, Young Master Lu, is not having an easy time either.

Instead of covering up for him, his parents brought their son to apologize. The pocket money he had just received in his card was deducted to only three digits, which he used to compensate the adulterer.

After stealing his girlfriend, you also want to steal his money?

This is intolerable! Doesn't she want to be a star? Then he will be a bigger star than her!

Usually, the protagonist begins to fight and strive after experiencing a major setback. Lu Xinyang happily accepted his new role, switching from idol dramas to the rising star, and began to pursue his dream of the entertainment industry.

To some extent, he also has to thank his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. If it weren't for her help, Lu Xinyang would not have found a new direction in his life so quickly.

Since he wanted to be a star, he must have an assistant, so Tang Lin applied for the position.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Xinyang began to flip through the 100-picture gallery of handsome men that Assistant Tang had forwarded to him: "Today's selection is for the second male lead, right?"

Tang Lin wants to say that there is actually no second male lead in this drama. It is a BL drama, and one of you plays the top and the other plays the bottom, so who is the second best?

But Boss Lu definitely wouldn't listen to that, so he said, "Anyway, if we want to choose someone to play opposite you, you must give your approval in person."

"Of course," Lu Xinyang thought he was right, "Not everyone is qualified to turn me gay."

Tang Lin was speechless: "...What's the matter? Do you still want to make this fake play real?"

"Brother Lu, I have to remind you a few words. When you're filming in the future, especially emotional scenes like this, you're bound to encounter many people who are courting you, but you must not take them too seriously," Tang Lin said earnestly. "Who knows, who might be trying to take advantage of you with ulterior motives, or try to trick you into falling for something? It's best to keep your distance from them."

Lu Xinyang didn't understand the twists and turns of the entertainment industry, but Tang Lin, who had once chased a star with true feelings and had his heart broken, knew it well.

"Once you're involved in some nasty things, it's common for people to try to pull you up and throw dirty water on you. If you're not careful, you could lose everything. You have to be on guard."

"I understand this." Lu Xinyang nodded.

He said very seriously, "You can take my money. After all, they've worked so hard for me, and I can't let them go empty-handed. But you can't take my chastity. My marriage certificate and I belong only to my future wife. They can't defile it!"

Tang Lin: “…………” I don’t think you understand at all!!!

If we talk about what he has learned during the past few months as Lu Xinyang's assistant, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not "How can there be such a stupid person in the world", but "His parents really love him."

Lu Xinyang's parents really created a miracle by raising a pig to the age of 22.
