“He clearly knows everything. We’ve already explained to him that you came to pick me up for work, and that it wasn’t for any other reason, but he still insists on saying those hurtful things.”
Jian Ruoxi felt extremely wronged, her eyes reddening but she held back her tears, refusing to let them fall: "It's always like this. He only believes that woman's words. I thought he had changed for the better, but he's still the same as before."
Su Ziyu knew that Jian Ruoxi was referring to Li Anran, who had made trouble for them at the Lu family today. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Li Anran. He really couldn't understand why Lu Shen would believe Li Anran's words. That woman's attitude of sowing discord and causing trouble was so obvious. He didn't believe that someone who could manage such a large group as Lu's Group would be deceived by her.
He looked at Jian Ruoxi with a pang of heartache, feeling that she must have suffered a lot of grievances before, otherwise she wouldn't have exploded in this situation today. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but he didn't dare to do so easily.
Jian Ruoxi poured out all her grievances to herself. After she finished venting, she noticed that Su Ziyu next to her hadn't said a word, but was looking at her with a pained expression. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry you heard so much of my negative stuff." She looked at Su Ziyu apologetically. "I lost control of my emotions today, please don't take it to heart."
Su Ziyu shook his head. He was overjoyed that Jian Ruoxi was willing to share her grievances and express her inner turmoil, so why would he feel uncomfortable about it?
"Xiaoxi, you've been wronged." Su Ziyu reached out and rubbed her head. "You can talk to me if you're unhappy in the future. I can be your trash can."
Jian Ruoxi looked at Su Ziyu gratefully: "Thank you."
"You haven't decided to leave him yet?" Su Ziyu didn't know why he asked this question, but he couldn't help but ask it when he saw Jian Ruoxi's reddened eyes.
Jian Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment: "I'm just staying here temporarily. As for how things will develop between us, I don't know. He trusts Li Anran so much, he must like her more."
After saying this, a hint of sadness flashed in Jian Ruoxi's eyes. She took a deep breath, put on a smile, and turned to look at Su Ziyu, saying, "By the way, do you have any work plans for the future? Has Ran Jie gotten you any new gigs?"
Seeing the forced smile on her face, Su Ziyu knew she didn't want to continue talking about Lu Shen, which he was naturally happy to accept: "I think so, but I'm not too sure. What's wrong?"
“I just accepted a script. If you hadn’t taken on any new projects, I think you would be quite suitable for the role. Your acting has always been good, and I would love to continue working with you.”
Jian Ruoxi spoke very sincerely. Su Ziyu's acting skills are outstanding in the entire entertainment industry. It would be very easy to work with such an actor. If you encounter someone who lacks professionalism and only knows how to talk, it would be a real headache.
Su Ziyu was certainly willing to cooperate with Jian Ruoxi. He wanted to spend more time with her and was confident that one day in the future, Jian Ruoxi would make Lu Shen leave her heart and let him stay.
"Sure, what kind of script is it? Can I take a look?" Su Ziyu readily agreed and followed up on Jian Ruoxi's question.
Jian Ruoxi shook her head apologetically and said, "I signed the contract first. The script wasn't completely finished yet. I only glanced at some of the content. The characters in the script require very delicate acting skills, so you were the first person I thought of."
Hearing Jian Ruoxi say that, Su Ziyu was naturally happy. His eyes crinkled as he looked at her, his voice deep and magnetic: "Then, Xiaoxi, can I play the male lead?"
Jian Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. Actually, she would have preferred Su Ziyu to play the second male lead. The male lead in the story was obsessive and domineering. Although he liked the female lead very much, his suffocating relationship was extremely painful.
On the contrary, Su Ziyu is a gentle boy, and he follows the same path. Every time he smiles and waves to his fans with his eyes crinkled, he gets screams that shake the heavens and earth.
If Su Ziyu were to play a domineering male lead, it would be very inconsistent with his established persona, which is a very serious matter in the entertainment industry. If he plays the role well, everyone will be happy; if he plays it poorly, some fans might become too attached to the character, which would be a huge blow to his previous public image.
She didn't want Su Ziyu to have all his previous efforts affected by a single drama.
Moreover, Su Ziyu's warm and caring personality is indeed very appealing to the audience. Jian Ruoxi really hopes that Su Ziyu can play the second male lead, because it would suit him better.
"Xiao Xi, what are you thinking about?" Su Ziyu noticed the troubled look on Jian Ruoxi's face and continued, "The notebook isn't finished yet, is it? We can take another look and discuss it later. There's no need to rush."
Jian Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. She couldn't directly agree to any promises Su Ziyu made right now. She had only asked him because she felt that Su Ziyu was really suitable for the role of the second male lead. Perhaps she also had her own selfish reasons. She really hoped that Su Ziyu would accept the role.
Only actors who have read the script know how perfectly Su Ziyu fits the role. That's why she didn't know how to respond when she heard Su Ziyu's words. Fortunately, he said he would read the script first, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain.
Su Ziyu felt a little sad seeing Jian Ruoxi looking relieved. He didn't necessarily want to play the male lead, but he knew that if Jian Ruoxi played the female lead, her romantic storyline would definitely follow the male lead's. He couldn't be with Jian Ruoxi in real life, but he would be willing to be with her in the drama.
His eyes were shining as he looked at Jian Ruoxi, who seemed to still be thinking about the script, her eyes flickering as if she was lost in thought.
"Xiao Xi".
Su Ziyu called her name his whole life. Jian Ruoxi subconsciously looked up, and the two looked at each other. She could clearly see the helplessness and a hint of hurt in Su Ziyu's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Jian Ruoxi looked at Su Ziyu with some confusion and asked.
Su Ziyu sighed: "Is there nothing else we can talk about besides work?"
