God knows how scary my brother was just now.
She was busy training Shi Tou when her older brother called. She didn't answer at first and was scolded by him.
"You're not answering your brother's calls anymore, are you?"
"My words no longer carry any weight?"
Every word was like a gunshot, leaving Lu Jin speechless and on the verge of death.
The powerful suppression of her bloodline left her without even the slightest courage to refute.
"I was working just now. Brother, is there anything I can do for you?"
Bah, spineless!
She cursed herself inwardly, but outwardly she still tried her best to please.
“Call Jian Ruoxi now. I don’t care what method you use, get her to take me out of Huarui.”
"Just make sure she has no contact with Su Ziyu."
He wouldn't have gone to such lengths if he hadn't been worried that taking matters into his own hands would backfire.
"Oh, I see. What reason do I need? I can't just make something up out of thin air."
The eldest brother always creates problems for himself.
If I lie to Ruoxi, she will feel guilty.
That's your problem.
"If this matter cannot be resolved, you will not receive a single penny of investment for this script."
"I mean what I say."
Lu Jin slammed his hand on the table in anger, "Are you threatening me again?"
His older brother always managed to pinpoint his weaknesses perfectly.
This forced her to do things for him.
"Yes, are you going to fight now or not?"
In the end, Lu Jin gritted his teeth and decided to submit to his elder brother's authority.
At that moment, Lu Shen suddenly called, while Lu Jin was teaching Shi Tou.
The situation was urgent, and there wasn't even time to turn off the microphone.
So much so that Stone heard the whole thing.
"How do you plan to help your older brother win over his sister-in-law?" Stone was quite curious about this.
He wanted to know if Xiao Jin's ability to handle things had improved over the years.
Surely you won't always use a stomachache as an excuse when something happens.
"There is a reason that Ruoxi absolutely cannot refuse. If she knew, she would definitely come."
Shi Tou listened attentively to her conversation with Jian Ruoxi, just like Jian Ruoxi, waiting to see what Lu Jin would say next.
"Ruoxi, I think I saw him today. Would you like to come with me to go look for him?"
On the other end of the phone, Jian Ruoxi gripped her phone tightly and asked anxiously, "Really? Where did you see it?"
She knew better than anyone how much Xiao Jin longed for that person to appear.
"It's right on the street, but I'm not sure if it is."
"Ruoxi, can you help me look for it?"
Lu Jin's voice sounded lonely and helpless, which worried Jian Ruoxi greatly.
She simply pointed to her phone at Su Ziyu, indicating that she had something urgent to attend to, and without even saying goodbye, Jian Ruoxi hurriedly took Ali and rushed to Lu Jin's place.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jin wiped away her tears.
I still can't control myself whenever he's mentioned.
"Xiao Jin, did you really see that person?" Shi Tou suddenly asked.
If you listen carefully, you'll also notice a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Lu Jin smiled helplessly, "I really hope what I said just now was true, even if it was just seeing his shadow."
Unfortunately, after all these years, not a single trace of her has been found.
Sometimes when she was training Shi Tou, she would inadvertently mention the most important person in her life.
She wasn't surprised at all that Shi Tou would ask that question.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later."
"Later, I still need to go out with Ruoxi and the others to find some clothes and outfits."
"What if I actually find it?"
Stone, on the other end of the computer, was getting restless. He would walk to the door and open it, then retreat back to his seat.
Could it be that she has really discovered something?
That shouldn't be the case; he's always been very good at hiding it.
Or am I just overthinking it?
Lu Jin searched for a long time in several places that Li Tianlei had liked before, and only gave up when it got dark.
She sat helplessly on the ground, leaning on Jian Ruoxi's shoulder, her eyes filled with tears of disappointment.
"Ruoxi, I was lying when I asked you to come out today. I didn't see Tianlei."
"But for some reason, I've been feeling like Tianlei has come back, like he's right beside me lately."
This was the first time she had felt this way since Li Tianlei disappeared.
"But I still can't find him."
A single tear slid down Lu Jin's cheek; each hope only brought disappointment.
"I understand, it's okay. I'll be there for you whenever you need me."
Just like Lu Jin never abandoned her back then.
At that time, she was forced to divorce him, and leaving Lu Shen seemed to have caused her to lose all vitality.
I don't know who I am, nor do I know how I will live in the future.
It was Lu Jin who pulled her out of the mire and told her how the real Jian Ruoxi should bravely overcome difficulties.
Now, it's her turn to be by Lu Jin's side.
"As long as you believe he is there, I will believe with you."
"If you believe he will come back, I will wait with you until you are reunited."
She and Lu Shen may have no hope in this lifetime, but Lu Shen and Li Tianlei still have a chance.
As long as there is news about Li Tianlei.
"Thank you, Ruoxi!"
Lu Jin collapsed into Jian Ruoxi's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, as if he wanted to express all the grievances he had suffered during this time.
She still didn't tell Jian Ruoxi all her guesses.
The more time she spent with Shitou during this period, the more familiar she felt with him.
But she wasn't sure if the stone was the one she had been waiting for.
Fearing that she had mistaken him for someone else, she was told that Li Tianlei had disappeared again.
Stone finally decided to leave the room, and he was standing in a dark corner.
He knew very well that if he took just a few more steps, he would be standing in front of Lu Jin.
Tell her, "I'm back."
And then what? His current situation is worse than it was back then, let alone how he could be worthy of the talented young female director who is now being praised online.
"Xiao Jin, how could you be so foolish? Why wait for someone who isn't worth it?"
"You could have had more options."
In the end, Stone withdrew the step he was about to take.
"Just this once, I'll help you finish this script, and then I really won't come back."
He was originally just worried about how Xiao Jin and his cousin had been doing all these years, but unexpectedly, after returning to this familiar city, he didn't want to leave even for a moment.
Her feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, pulling him back and forcing him to acknowledge his heart's constant desire to get closer.
Stone reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
On the way, he dialed Lu Shen's number.
"Young Master Lu, I'd like to discuss a deal with you."
Lu Shen wasn't surprised at all to receive this call; it was as if he had been waiting for it.
"So you're finally not going to hide anymore?"
"Li Tianlei".
