Chapter 24 A Pure and Innocent Little White Flower
"I've never heard my sister mention it."
Wen Cheng picked up her chopsticks but then felt it was impolite, so she put them down again, feeling nervous and at a loss, as if she were in a job interview.
"Then it seems they didn't talk about it." Lu Jianxun nodded, then asked, "What do you think of my grandson? Is he likable?"
"this……"
Before Wen Cheng could figure out how to answer, Baron, who was sitting to the side listening to the commotion, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water.
Old Master Lu immediately shot him a glare, his words stern: "You have no manners at all! Now that you've eaten, go stand outside as punishment!"
"Alright, sir, I'll get out of here right now."
Baron stood up with a grin and quickly slipped out.
Wen Cheng swallowed nervously, then turned her head to see that Grandpa Lu had switched back to his kind and amiable demeanor. "Little Cheng, you haven't answered Grandpa's question yet."
"...Great, great! Mr. Lu is handsome and very capable. So many people like him!" Wen Cheng trembled as she praised him wildly!
Grandpa Lu laughed even harder. "Does your sister think so too? What type does she like? Like our Jinye, does she like him...?"
"Pfft, cough cough cough!" Wen Cheng almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Take your time, don't rush. Grandpa will take you home when you've explained everything clearly."
"!?"
Wen Cheng was on the verge of tears; it seemed he was being tortured during interrogation. He really wanted to go with his sister…
However, it was too late.
His dear sister, Wen Ni, was already sitting in the car on her way to the film set, eating heartily.
Lu Jinye's new drama started filming before the Lunar New Year, but due to his health condition and the need to record the Spring Festival Gala, the director filmed some solo shots of other actors first, just in time for him to officially join the crew.
As for Wen Ni, as her personal bodyguard, she naturally had to stay by her side at all times...
After a five-hour drive, they finally arrived at Shudian Film and Television City, located near the China-Myanmar border, as dusk was falling.
"Oh! Konno, I've finally waited for you! How's your recovery going?"
As soon as I entered the set, director Song Peng greeted me.
"It's just a cold, thank you for your concern, Director Song." Lu Jinye said calmly.
"You're too kind!"
Song Peng handed over two pieces of paper with a smile, "I told you on the phone that there's a night scene scene. This is the script for the scene. You and Wenyou will need to rehearse it in a bit!"
"Um."
After taking the two pages, Lu Jinye got into work mode, sitting down in his chair and reading them attentively.
Qin Yuan stood behind him, motionless, like a piece of wood.
Wen Ni couldn't stand still. She took two grapes from the table, picked up a cup of tea, and began to inspect the filming location as if she were strolling around her own living room.
"Who is that female student? A member of the film crew?" Someone nearby noticed her.
"No way, I saw her come in with Brother Lu!"
"Which Brother Lu?" The woman who was touching up her makeup in the mirror suddenly looked up, and casually threw the mirror aside.
"Sister Yingying, which Lu brother could it be? Of course it's Lu Jinye." The assistant replied, "Lu brother has had zero scandals since his debut, and I've never heard of him bringing any women to the set before. Could it be... that this is Lu brother's new girlfriend?"
"Lu Jinye's taste isn't very good either. How could he like such a poor student? Besides being young and pretty, he's utterly useless. How can he compare to you..."
The assistant hadn't finished speaking when
Then Chen Yingying stood up and walked straight toward Wen Ni.
"Brother Lu, get your makeup and hair done, get ready on set, filming will begin in a bit!"
"Here it comes!"
Assistant Xiao Wu responded and followed Lu Jinye into the hair and makeup room with Qin Yuan.
Wen Ni stood outside feeling rather bored, so she simply leaned back on Lu Jinye's recliner and flipped through the script that Lu Jinye had bound himself.
It was a thick book, which he seemed to have read many times. Some parts were marked, and the handwriting was quite sharp and vigorous, just like him, showing his sharpness!
"Little sister, what's your relationship to Brother Lu?"
The tone was gentle and soft, like someone trying to coax a child.
Wen Ni raised her eyes.
The newcomer had long, slightly wavy hair and a voluptuous, tall figure. She wore a floral cheongsam underneath a grey-brown mink coat, and with each step she swayed gracefully, exuding an air of mature femininity!
"Who are you?" Wen Ni asked instead of answering.
"You don't even recognize our Sister Yingying?"
The assistant stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen an alien!
"Our Yingying is the hottest actress right now, and she's been voted the most influential actress on Weibo! She was also the second female lead in several hit dramas last year!"
“I don’t watch TV,” Wen Ni said.
"Working in this industry, yet knowing absolutely nothing about it?" The assistant was both puzzled and dissatisfied. "How could Brother Lu keep someone like you by his side? Are you his girlfriend?"
"Xiao Ai, a proud and outstanding man like Brother Lu, who has seen the vicissitudes of life, would not like a simple and harmless little white flower like you. Only a mature and charming woman is worthy of him."
"Moreover, given his family background, girls from ordinary families wouldn't even catch their eye."
"It's fine to play around on a whim, but in the end, you should choose someone who shares your interests, because everything is about being well-matched..."
Chen Yingying still wore a confident and appropriate smile.
She bent down slightly, blinked her curled eyelashes, and stared at Wen Ni. "Little sister, am I right?"
She waited for Wen Ni to blush, then flee from her gaze with a mixture of inferiority and sensitivity, hoping she would shed a few more tears and then consciously distance herself from Lu Jinye's side from then on...
Young, beautiful girls like this, who are also naive and inexperienced, are the easiest to deal with!
However, she clearly underestimated Wen Ni.
"Since Miss Chen understands this principle... she should spend more time honing her acting skills instead of starring in countless hit dramas only to return as the second female lead!"
"Oh, wait, this drama has two male leads, you should be the third female lead, and it's been delayed?"
Wen Ni leaned back, crossing her legs.
Although she was sitting, she had a more imposing presence than Chen Yingying, as if the boss was lecturing an employee. Her words, spoken with a smile, were sharper than knives!
"Lu Jinye is a two-time winner of the Best Actor award. Even if a mere Nth-tier supporting actress makes a huge fuss, she might not catch his eye! Because everything is about matching social status. Miss Chen, am I right?"
Treat them as they treat you.
That's infuriating! They'll kill you!
Chen Yingying never expected that she, who looked harmless, would be so eloquent and persuasive when she opened her mouth!
"Sister Yingying!" Another assistant suddenly ran over.
The assistant first gave Wen Ni a disdainful look, then said smugly to Chen Yingying, "I found out, this girl is just Lu Jinye's bodyguard!"
