Luo Yu felt a chill run down his spine. The thing he feared had happened. No wonder the director had called them all out for dinner early; it was indeed because of Ruoxi.
"Let me introduce you all. This is Yi Xueer, a rising idol. She will be recording the show with you from now on."
Yi Xue'er greeted everyone in a nonchalant manner.
Who were these people again? Her agent had told her in the car, but she forgot as soon as she got out.
"Oh, so you're a new guest. No problem, no problem." Yu Hongxin acted like a familiar friend, casually putting his arm around Yi Xue'er's shoulder.
Yi Xue'er quickly dodged away in disgust.
This is the artist who worked with Ruoxi? They don't look that great.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the newcomers."
The director was clearly very satisfied with the answer.
"Alright, alright, let's start eating then. Now that all the dishes are served, let's take this opportunity to get to know each other better, which will also make it easier for future program recordings."
"Director, there's still one person missing," Luo Yu reminded him at the opportune moment.
Yu Hongxin slapped his thigh, startling Yi Xue'er who was standing next to him.
“Yeah, why hasn’t Sister Ruoxi arrived yet? We’re about to start eating, and she’s the last one to arrive. I have to hurry her up.”
Yu Hongxin made a move to call Jian Ruoxi, and the director couldn't stop him.
"Sister Ruoxi, we ate out today, and we even had a guest appearance. Where are you?"
Guest star?
That must be the person the director chose to replace her.
He was still thinking of calling himself, probably because the director hadn't had a chance to tell him the truth yet.
She suppressed her sadness and tried to calm Yu Hongxin down.
"I'm a bit busy here, you guys eat first, I won't be going this time."
Luo Yu keenly noticed that the director visibly relaxed upon hearing Jian Ruoxi's words.
Could it be that Ruoxi and the director had already discussed this matter before? They just didn't know it yet.
No matter how much Yu Hongxin pleaded and begged, Jian Ruoxi refused to come, and in the end, she hung up the phone in a panic.
"Is Sister Ruoxi busy with her date, which is why she turned down our dinner invitation?"
Yu Hongxin couldn't think of any other reason besides this one.
Hearing what Yu Hongxin said, Han Mingyi laughed sarcastically, "Jian Ruoxi is in dire straits, how can she still have the mind to go on a date?"
I bet she's crying in front of her computer right now.
Yu Hongxin and Luo Yu frowned. They had also heard about the difficulties Ruoxi had recently encountered.
However, they did not believe what was said online.
After getting to know Ruoxi well, they already knew her character and were certain that she wouldn't do such a thing.
"So you're Han Mingyi."
As if she had suddenly discovered a new continent, Yi Xue'er rushed to her side.
Yu Hongxin and Luo Yu had no idea what the new guest was up to, so they could only watch silently from the sidelines.
"Brother Luo Yu, this little girl can't possibly be a fan of Han Mingyi, otherwise why would she be so excited to see Han Mingyi?"
Luo Yu shook his head helplessly, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it's really hard to say."
Han Mingyi's lips twitched. She had already experienced the little devil's sharp tongue online last time.
Judging from how protective she was of Jian Ruoxi last time, she didn't think this young lady could say anything nice.
"I heard you're planning to get engaged to some CEO, and you're still having dinner with us? Don't you think it lowers your status?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hongxin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but clap and cheer.
"That's well said, I agree with you."
It's obvious that this little girl is in the same boat as them.
Jian Ruoxi was too lazy to even look at how outrageous the number of reposts the video had. At this moment, she missed the time she spent with her friends terribly.
Open the previously recorded episode of "Mercedes Life" and watch it from the beginning.
"I really want to be with them."
Just then, a message from Qin Zhishan came through my phone.
"Ruoxi, don't worry about what's online for now. Let's work together to figure out a way, and the truth will eventually come out."
"Don't worry about recording the show, Luo Yu will try to get it for you from the director."
Sister Zhishan knew that she couldn't participate in the Mercedes Life recording.
Could it be that Luo Yu noticed something amiss at the dinner party and then told her?
"I'm sorry for making Sister Zhishan worry."
Half of the entertainment industry knows how nervous Brother Luo Yu is about Sister Zhishan's pregnancy. He doesn't let her do anything, let alone worry about anything else.
When Sister Zhishan participated in the show last time, she was complaining about him, saying that he was making her sick.
I didn't expect them to be so concerned about their own affairs this time.
"It's nothing. You need to remember that you're pregnant. Relax and take things easy. That's the best way to treat the baby in your belly."
"Leave the rest to everyone. Don't feel that troubling everyone is a bad thing."
"Trust them."
Jian Ruoxi stared blankly at the message Qin Zhishan had sent her on her phone screen.
She used to trust someone completely, but that person kicked her out.
After returning to the entertainment industry, she regained her career and confidence through her own efforts, but she also found it difficult to give her whole heart again, for fear of getting hurt.
Therefore, I would rather bear everything myself, without expectations, so that there will be no disappointment.
"Ruoxi, we are all by your side. You are not fighting alone."
Qin Zhishan's words broke Jian Ruoxi's defenses, and tears dripped onto the phone screen, making a ticking sound.
"I understand, thank you, Sister Zhishan. I'll leave the production team to you."
"I really don't want to leave everyone."
At the dinner, the director urged everyone to eat. Luo Yu was the most senior actor, so if he didn't touch his food, the other actors wouldn't touch their chopsticks either.
He had just received a message from his wife, which contained only one sentence.
"Honey, Ruoxi needs our help."
Luo Yu then knew what to do.
"Luo Yu, why aren't you eating? Is it because the restaurant we chose this time isn't to your liking?" The director asked, puzzled, noticing that Luo Yu's expression was a bit off.
"Director, I think it's better to talk about some things before we eat."
"For example, why didn't Ruoxi come today?"
"Ms. Yi, is it really just for one episode of guest appearance recording?"
The director stopped picking up food from his hand when two questions were asked in a row.
He originally thought that by fooling Yu Hongxin, the matter would be over.
I didn't expect Luo Yu to point it out directly.
"Didn't Sister Ruoxi just say she couldn't come because of something..."
No, if Sister Ruoxi really had something to do, she would have informed him in advance.
She certainly wouldn't wait until he asked before speaking; there must be something wrong with that.
