Lu Jin placed the tray on the desk, looking at his older brother with a teasing expression, "It looks like Li Anran made it herself, why don't you try some?"
"Let's put it aside." He had no interest in what Li Anran had done; the only reason he had eaten with her was because of his grandmother.
Lu Jin, without any hesitation, took a bite and gave a fairly objective evaluation.
"Although I don't approve of Li Anran as a person, her cooking skills are still quite good."
It seems that Li Anran has put in a lot of effort to please the Lu family and successfully become the young mistress.
"By the way, are you really planning to marry Li Anran?"
No matter how you look at it, the eldest brother has no feelings for Li Anran now. Apart from that idiot Jian Ruoxi, everyone around can see that the eldest brother cares about her.
Then why does the older brother still keep her by his side, occupying the position of his fiancée?
This is something she has never been able to understand.
"I have other uses for her."
The day Li Anran reappeared, he sensed another mysterious force that was subtly opposing him.
He would remain uneasy until he found out the truth.
"Don't tell Ruoxi about this yet."
He's currently being monitored by Li Anran, and the forces behind him haven't been fully investigated yet. It would be safer for Ruoxi to leave him for a while.
Telling her only made her worry.
Let her live the life she wants first. Once I've sorted everything out, I won't let her leave no matter what.
"Brother, aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand? You'll have to explain it to her yourself; I'm not going to help you."
Both sides are her flesh and blood, and she doesn't want to offend either of them.
"I know what I'm doing."
This wasn't the first time Ruoxi had misunderstood him, and the fact that she was angry showed that she still cared about him.
It's better than having no feelings for him at all.
As for liking her, he was confident that he could slowly win Ruoxi's heart back later.
"You still have time to meddle in my affairs? Is the script settled?"
He had heard that Director Lu had practically turned the entire entertainment industry upside down in his search for scripts.
When the topic of the script came up, Lu Jin got angry and slammed his fist on the table at Lu Shen to complain.
"I don't know what screenwriters are doing these days; they just can't write a good script."
It's not that she has high standards, it's just that those people didn't even meet the most basic requirements; the scripts were just a pile of various plot points.
She couldn't even stand watching it, let alone film it.
"I'll show you a way." Lu Shen suddenly remembered that after Ruoxi's last live stream, someone wrote an article about him and Ruoxi.
“If you read through her articles, you should find what you’re looking for.”
Lu Jin still trusted his older brother's judgment; if his brother said it was good, it must be very well written.
"I'll go back and check right away." Lu Jin didn't waste a moment and ran out of the Lu family home as fast as she could, not even having time to answer when the old lady called her.
When Lu Shen came down, the old lady asked in confusion, "What exactly did Xiao Jin want to talk to you about?"
Lu Shen sat back down at his desk and continued eating slowly. "It's nothing, Xiao Jin just asked me if I knew any other good scripts."
"I already said, Grandma doesn't want to know."
Indeed, what the old lady hates most is the entertainment industry.
Upon hearing that her granddaughter had returned to look for a script, the old lady's expression darkened.
"I've told her so many times not to become a director, but she just won't listen."
"Working at a company at home would be so much easier, why do you have to suffer like this?"
The old lady was so angry that she put down her fork and decided she didn't want to eat anymore.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Xiaojin is still young. When she gets older, she will definitely understand your good intentions."
Since the old lady could help her gain a foothold in the Lu family, Li Anran naturally paid close attention to the old lady's emotions.
Although she was talking to the old lady, she was still keeping an eye on Lu Shen, who was eating elegantly, out of the corner of her eye.
Did he not touch the food I just brought up?
Moreover, the dishes he served were all made by the family's servants; as for the dishes she made herself, Lu Shen didn't even touch them.
"Am I that annoying to you now?" Li Anran lowered her disappointed eyes and continued to take care of the old lady's meal.
When Lu Jin returned to find Jian Ruoxi, he discovered she was not home.
"Look at my brain, I almost forgot. Ran Jie said he was going to take her to meet the Mercedes-Benz Life program team today."
Jian Ruoxi and Ran Jie didn't arrive early; the other artists had already started talking to the director.
The first person she noticed was Su Ziyu.
"Ziyu, are you also participating in this variety show? Why didn't Ran Jie tell me beforehand?" Jian Ruoxi said, looking at Ran Jie beside her.
Was it really necessary to keep this from her?
Ran Jie, quick-witted, finally came up with a suitable reason: "Well, actually, the artist originally scheduled for the show didn't come, and the director was in a hurry to find an artist, so he asked me to help, and that's why I thought of Ziyu."
"Things were all in such a rush that I forgot to tell you."
Actually, it was Su Ziyu who told him not to tell Jian Ruoxi.
Knowing that Ruoxi would be participating in the Mercedes-Benz Life event, Su Ziyu completed the announcement in the shortest possible time.
He approached Ran Jie with his work, saying, "I've finished all my recent work, and I have a lot of free time ahead."
Ran Jie and Su Ziyu had been working together for a long time, and seeing him do this, he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
"It seems you already have ideas about the work ahead. Tell me, which job do you want me to decide for you?"
"A Mercedes-Benz life." Su Ziyu slowly uttered these four words.
Hearing this name again from another artist's mouth, Ran Jie felt completely overwhelmed, rubbing his temples and saying helplessly.
"How come you've also taken a liking to this variety show? You've never even participated in anything like it before."
Just as he finished speaking, Ran Jie suddenly realized that he had almost overlooked a crucial issue.
"No, you only wanted to participate because of Jian Ruoxi."
Don't think he can't see that Su Ziyu treats Jian Ruoxi differently; he has never mentioned that Su Ziyu cares about anyone so much.
"Yes." Su Ziyu readily admitted it, never believing he could fool Ran Jie's sharp eyes.
Ran Jie was bound to find out sooner or later anyway.
If I had known earlier, I could have made the agent react sooner.
"You still dare to admit it? You've really grown up now, you've even forgotten the warning I gave you before not to start dating too early?"
Su Ziyu remained calm, saying, "Of course I remember my manager's reminder. Ruoxi and I aren't dating."
"To be precise, it was just unrequited love on my part." Even now, Ruoxi still only sees me as a good friend.
Hearing this, Ran Jie felt much relieved.
