After Han Mingyi and Su Ziyu finished their meal, Su Ziyu gentlemanly escorted her home.
She couldn't find any fault with Su Ziyu. Over the years they had known each other, he had always been a gentleman and never overstepped his bounds. Even though she had made it very clear, he still acted as if he didn't understand.
She returned home dejectedly, feeling defeated by a man for the first time.
She returned home, went to her bedroom, and stroked the poster of Su Ziyu hanging in her bedroom with a look of infatuation.
At this moment, Han Mingyi heard the phone ring and, thinking it was Su Ziyu calling, quickly answered it.
"Ms. Han, hello, I'm Li Anran..."
Li Anran and Han Mingyi talked all night long, seemingly like close friends.
Since Jian Ruoxi realized Han Mingyi's intentions, she has been avoiding Su Ziyu. Han Mingyi has also become unusually kind to her, which has allowed Jian Ruoxi to have some leisure time.
During her break, Jian Ruoxi looked at the messages on her phone and deleted them immediately. Lu Shen had been sending her messages repeatedly over the past few days, asking her to meet up, but she had ignored them all.
Jian Ruoxi promptly hung up the call. Was Lu Shen using her as a tool for his amusement?
For some reason, she didn't want to talk to him.
Lu Shen has been furious these past few days. He, the young master of the Lu family, has been completely ignored.
Jian Ruoxi turned off her phone when she saw the call coming in again. At that moment, her assistant called Ruoxi to the stage for an interview.
Ruoxi frowned and looked at the corner to the side. A figure flashed in the corner, and it turned out to be Li Anran.
Li Anran looked at Jian Ruoxi provocatively and waved for her to come up on stage.
"Ruoxi, we all know that you won the Best Actress Award for playing the role of a commoner school beauty. Why were you subsequently sidelined or even chose to retire from the entertainment industry?"
The host asked the questions that everyone wanted to know.
Jian Ruoxi took a deep breath. Before going on stage, she had been called to heaven by Li Anran and Han Mingyi and had a long chat.
Thinking about what the two had been talking about, Jian Ruoxi's eyes hardened.
“There are always many excellent actors in the entertainment industry. I didn’t encounter a suitable opportunity again. Just then, I met a lover for whom I was willing to give up everything, so I chose to leave.”
Jian Ruoxi's straightforward words startled the host, who then became excited—this was big news! Jian Ruoxi, who had just made a comeback and was incredibly popular, was actually married?
"Oh? Miss Jane is married. Would you mind sharing a bit about your life?"
The host pressed further, saying she believed today's ratings wouldn't be too bad.
"I'm divorced." Jian Ruoxi's words were like a bomb, and the entire room fell silent.
Lu Jin also looked surprised. She quickly stopped the recording of the program.
"You and my brother got divorced? When did you go through with the paperwork? How come I didn't know?"
Lu Jin was somewhat angry. This woman was spreading false information. Hadn't they not received their divorce certificate yet?
If this news gets out, Jian Ruoxi will definitely lose a lot of fans.
"I think you can ask your grandmother or Li Anran; they know the answer best."
Jian Ruoxi smiled bitterly. Even if Lu Shen didn't show up, the old lady of the Lu family had already used her connections to coerce her into completing the divorce procedures when she left the Lu family.
Lu Jin was surprised that his older brother was unaware of the situation.
The old lady actually hated the entertainment industry so much that she was willing to go against her eldest brother's wishes.
"Xiao Li, go and talk to the producer right away. Today's events must not be broadcast under any circumstances! If necessary, bring up the Lu family and make sure they delete the negatives."
Lu Jin made a decision immediately, but was stopped by Jian Ruoxi. Jian Ruoxi was interrupted before she could even speak.
"It can't be hidden. Even if Jian Ruoxi didn't announce it today, I would still have to go on stage and say a few words."
Li Anran walked triumphantly into the studio and laughed out loud at Jian Ruoxi's dejected expression.
"She threatened you?"
Lu Jin instantly understood everything as Li Anran walked in, and he was filled with hatred.
“I don’t have the patience to wait for Ah Shen to make a decision anymore; he’s been hesitant. Jian Ruoxi, she’s blocking my way, and I’m determined to get rid of her.”
Li Anran simply dropped her disguise and revealed a ferocious look when she saw Lu Jin.
"You slut! How could my brother have fallen for you!"
Lu Jin stepped forward and slapped Li Anran across the face, but Li Anran was not angry.
“That was a good slap. Do you think the media would be happy to hear about an ex-wife hitting her current husband? Lu Jin, don’t fight with me. We could have gotten along well.”
Li Anran touched her face, looked at Lu Jin provocatively, and spoke in a cold, threatening tone.
Lu Jin reluctantly arranged for the on-site interviews to proceed to the second segment first, and Han Mingyi slowly walked onto the stage.
"Mingyi, you and Jian Ruoxi are often compared these days. As a senior, what is your opinion of this newcomer?"
The host calmed down and continued the interview.
"Newcomers are always a bit arrogant. But as a senior, I can understand their eagerness to rise to the top. After all, everyone wants to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, but they shouldn't be too sharp."
Before Han Mingyi could finish speaking, Lu Jin grabbed Li Anran by the neck and growled menacingly:
"You orchestrated this whole thing too? Li Anran, you're really something, your reach is far-reaching!"
The host was also completely overwhelmed by the various shocking revelations that were bombarding him today.
"Are you saying Jian Ruoxi doesn't respect you enough? Or are you saying she has a bad temper?"
"My on-screen image and Su Ziyu's image are so deeply ingrained in people's minds that I'm always being used to ride on their popularity, which is quite distressing. Actors still need to hone their acting skills; you can't always rely on underhanded methods."
Han Mingyi looked very troubled, as if she had been annoyed by Jian Ruoxi lately.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Lu Jin immediately pulled Jian Ruoxi away and instructed the others to handle the situation as soon as possible to minimize the negative impact.
Li Anran watched the two people leave in a hurry without saying anything, but her smile became even brighter.
As soon as Lu Jin and Jian Ruoxi stepped out, they were surrounded by paparazzi. Flashes of light and piercing questions filled the air as they swarmed around the two of them, their cameras practically shoving into their faces.
Lu Jin had his bodyguards clear a path, but after getting into the car and starting the engine, he was still relentlessly pursued by paparazzi.
Lu Jin angrily cursed Li Anran's despicable behavior, while instructing the driver not to drive home, but to find a hotel first.
Lu Jin took out his phone and called Lu Shen:
"Lu Shen! You get your ass to the Interstellar Hotel right now, immediately! If you're late, you'll be collecting my and Jian Ruoxi's corpses!"
When Lu Shen received Lu Jin's call, he knew something serious had happened and rushed to the hotel.
Before going on stage, Han Mingyi had already called Su Ziyu and asked him to go to the hotel to find Jian Ruoxi.
At the same time, he also spread the word to the paparazzi that Jian Ruoxi had met with Su Ziyu at the hotel and that they had gotten along very well.
Lu Jin led Jian Ruoxi into the hotel and instructed the hotel not to let the paparazzi in.
