After listening to what Jian Ruoxi said, the propaganda minister began to admire the female artist in front of him.
The reason he spoke up for her was because one of his older sisters had just gotten divorced and was deeply traumatized; she could hardly bear to hear the word "divorce."
But Jian Ruoxi was different; she was stronger than anyone could imagine.
"Understood, thank you for your cooperation, Ruoxi."
"It's my pleasure, thank you for your hard work." Jian Ruoxi nodded her thanks to the propaganda minister.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ran Jie jumped up in anger.
"I'm the one who's suffering, Jian Ruoxi, can't you have any conscience?!" Ran Jie felt utterly wronged.
He didn't have anything important to do today, and he could have comfortably spent the day at the company as a couch potato.
The live stream just ended, and we haven't decided on the next event for Jian Ruoxi yet.
That's good, as if they were afraid he'd be idle, so they suddenly added so much work to his workload.
"I not only have to come up with various solutions, but I also have to find a way to contact other media outlets in advance to prevent them from publishing any news that is unfavorable to you."
"It wasn't easy for me!"
Seeing that Ran Jie looked like he was about to give up and didn't want to do it anymore, Jian Ruoxi quickly tried to coax him with kind words.
"Yes, my agent is the one who works the hardest."
"How about I treat you to a big meal after this crisis is over?"
Although Ran Jie complained, he had already started using his computer to contact the heads of various media outlets.
"One big meal isn't enough, I want two, two meals!"
Because of Jian Ruoxi's situation, he, who never works overtime, will have to go home late today.
I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't grab some benefits.
"Okay, okay, two meals it is." Jian Ruoxi coaxed her manager Ran Jie like she was coaxing a child.
"It's okay. When we divorced, Lu Shen gave me a lot of money, but I haven't touched it much."
"You can eat whatever you want then."
It seems that Lu Shen's money is not something that just anyone can touch. Thinking of this, Ran Jie's expression softened slightly.
"You said it yourself, if you don't get a little more help, don't expect me to help you in the future."
Meanwhile, Lu Jin, upon seeing the news, stormed into the Lu family home.
The old lady was very happy to see her granddaughter who hadn't been home for several days.
"Xiao Jin is back. Go and prepare some of her favorite food for the young lady. There's a shortage of things on set, so our Xiao Jin must not have eaten well."
The old lady was still the same grandmother who doted on her granddaughter, but in Lu Jin's heart, her love had become a shackle she wanted to escape.
She gradually escaped and gained some freedom, but her older brother was trapped in the family and could only marry a woman he didn't like.
"Grandma, why do you insist on forcing my eldest brother to marry that woman Li Anran? She's no good." Lu Jin couldn't help but question her as soon as he arrived.
The old lady's smile vanished instantly.
The maids around Lu Jin noticed that something was wrong and quickly tried to persuade him.
"Miss, you'd better say less. The old lady was just discharged from the hospital and shouldn't be upset."
Lu Jin also noticed that the old lady's face was flushed, clearly indicating that she was quite angry with her.
A fleeting moment of pity crossed my mind, but it was immediately cut off by the old lady's next words.
"Other people's daughters either obediently take care of the family business or show filial piety to their families."
“My precious daughter is fine, she hangs out with those actors in the entertainment industry every day, and when she comes back she questions this old woman.”
Lu Jin's hands trembled with anger. No matter what the topic was, her grandmother would always bring up the fact that she was a director.
“Since Grandma can’t stand me working in the entertainment industry, fine, as long as you bring Tianlei back, everything will be fine.”
She asks for nothing else but for Tianlei to return safely.
The old lady turned her head away awkwardly. She knew what Lu Jin suspected: that she had hidden Li Tianlei, which was why Lu Jin had been searching for him for so many years without any news.
But Li Tianlei disappeared on his own, and it had nothing to do with her.
"How would I know where he is? He might have already died of illness."
That kind of person would be better off dying out there sooner, so that Xiao Jin wouldn't have to keep bothering her.
"Never mind, Grandma has always been like this. She harmed my brother before, and now she's harming him again." Lu Jin was becoming more and more disappointed in his grandmother.
"What do you mean?" Grandma Lu didn't quite understand what her granddaughter was saying.
How could she be harming them? Every decision she made was clearly for their benefit.
The reason I advised Li Tianlei to leave was so that Xiaojin could find someone with better prospects in the future, so she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.
The marriage between Ah Shen and An Ran has now been arranged to fulfill Ah Shen's previous dream.
"Your older brother used to like An Ran a lot."
Lu Jin didn't want to stay in this house any longer and turned to leave.
"As you know, this all happened a long time ago."
"Actually, you know very well who your older brother truly likes right now."
"It's just that you're unwilling to admit it or accept it."
Lu Jin's every word resonated perfectly with the old lady.
Indeed, she understands her grandson well, and she can tell who he truly likes.
But she could only pretend not to see it, pretend not to know.
Only in this way can we prevent Jian Ruoxi, that actress, from returning to the Lu family.
She could not accept the idea of letting actors set foot in the Lu family again.
"I didn't," the old lady said, naturally not daring to admit it.
"Whether you think that way or not is not important. I need to talk to my brother about something. You should just tell all the servants in the house what's on your mind."
After saying this, Lu Jin turned and left with a dashing air, not noticing that the old lady Lu was still in a daze behind him.
"Grandma, should I call Miss back?"
The old lady waved her hand, "No need."
"But it seems that the young lady went to see the young master."
The young lady dislikes Li Anran the most, and everyone can see that. No matter what, the young lady will never call Li Anran "sister-in-law".
Grandma Lu wasn't worried about it. "If Xiao Jin wants to go, let her go. Anyway, A Shen won't cancel the engagement, although I don't know why."
I have a feeling that Ah Shen deliberately left Li Anran behind.
Ah Shen agreed to the engagement, which was a good thing, but why did she still feel a little uneasy?
"Grandma, what's wrong? Is your chest tight and uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine, don't make a fuss."
Now she only hopes one thing: that the engagement ceremony in three days will go smoothly.
"We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes!"
Upon hearing this, the maid reassured the old lady, "Don't worry, we have prepared everything as you instructed."
"And I've also emphasized to them the things they need to pay attention to during the engagement."
