Lu Shen's expression darkened slightly.
"It's too early to talk to me about freedom now."
Jian Ruoxi said calmly, "Then let's get the formalities done. I think Li Anran is probably more anxious than I am."
Lu Shen said coldly, "These things are none of your concern."
"Where I want to go is none of your concern."
Jian Ruoxi shook off Lu Shen's hand.
At this moment, Li Anran came out of the room.
She said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Shen, my leg hurts so much, can you come with me to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Lu Shen immediately walked over to Li Anran, frowned, and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Li Anran said coquettishly, "I'm in so much pain, I can't wait any longer, Ah Shen, hold me."
Jian Ruoxi didn't want to turn around, but out of the corner of her eye she still saw Lu Shen pick up Li Anran.
A bitter taste spread down my throat, which felt extremely dry.
She bit her lip hard and left the villa without looking back.
Twenty minutes later, Jian Ruoxi arrived at Lu Jin's company.
I ran into Su Ziyu as soon as I got off the elevator.
Good morning, Miss Jane.
Su Ziyu was wearing a beige hooded T-shirt and ankle-baring jeans, looking youthful and handsome with the unique vigor of a big boy.
No wonder she's an actress; she's almost thirty and still looks so well-preserved.
Jian Ruoxi exclaimed in admiration, then remembered last night and quickly bowed to apologize.
"Senior Su, I'm so sorry, I didn't know someone would be looking for me last night."
Su Ziyu smiled, revealing a set of neat, white teeth.
"It's okay, this is also a form of publicity. I'll go try on my makeup first, see you later."
He reached out and patted Jian Ruoxi on the head before getting on the elevator.
Jian Ruoxi listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.
She's been away from the entertainment industry for so long that she's almost out of touch with the times.
When I watch videos, I mostly study various dishes and rarely pay attention to anything else.
Thinking of all the hard work he had put in over the past three years, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Even if she cooks the most exquisite dishes, it can't compare to someone else's simple "Ah Shen."
Thinking of how Lu Shen made her apologize to Li Anran, Jian Ruoxi shook her head vigorously. Since she had decided not to love him anymore, why bother thinking about it?
She calmed herself down and went into Lu Jin's office.
Lu Jin was looking at documents when he saw Jian Ruoxi come in, and immediately looked her up and down.
"Did my brother do anything to you?"
Jian Ruoxi said calmly, "No, it's just that it's getting late, so they asked me to stay there for the night."
Lu Jin said "Oh," and then asked, "What does he want with you?"
Jian Ruoxi sighed. "He doesn't want me to go back into the entertainment industry; he said it's Grandma's wish."
Lu Jin immediately got angry, slammed her hand on the table and said, "Don't listen to them. Now that we're divorced, you can go wherever you want. What business is it of theirs?"
My sister-in-law's words make a lot of sense.
Jian Ruoxi nodded vigorously.
"That's what I think too. As long as you're willing to use me, I will definitely do my best to play the role well."
Lu Jin lit a cigarette with a displeased look, exhaled a puff and said, "It's good that you have this awareness, but this time it was a lucky accident that you got on the trending topics. I've already had someone re-register your Bo Niang account, and you gained 200,000 followers overnight. That's a good momentum."
Jian Ruoxi had no idea why she was trending on social media.
Just as he was about to take out his phone to check, Lu Jin pulled him outside.
He shouted, cursing, "Where the people are? Hurry up and put on Jian Ruoxi's makeup. We're shooting the first scene in an hour."
Immediately, someone led Jian Ruoxi to the dressing room, where she was styled and changed into a white evening gown.
The moment the door opened, Lu Jin was stunned for a moment.
I felt that Jian Ruoxi was quiet and elegant, just like a socialite who stepped out of a script.
Her fishtail gown accentuated her curves, highlighting her alluring figure.
Every gesture she makes exudes feminine charm.
He couldn't help but excitedly say, "Okay, okay, turn it on right away."
Seeing how happy Director Lu was, no one dared to neglect her and quickly helped Jian Ruoxi to the first-floor studio.
The first scene is where the female protagonist is rejected by her scumbag husband and demands a divorce.
Following the script, Jian Ruoxi carried the cake downstairs, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her on-screen husband.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
If Lu Jin hadn't never gone to the Lu family home, Jian Ruoxi would have thought she had watched the surveillance footage, since she and Lu Shen divorced on her birthday.
The difference is that it's a man's birthday in the show.
Lost in thought, the man in the suit walked in from outside.
Jian Ruoxi immediately picked up the cake and sweetly called out, "Happy birthday, honey."
The male supporting character gave her a cold look and said expressionlessly, "No need, let's get a divorce."
Looking into that cold gaze, Jian Ruoxi was somewhat dazed, and for a moment she actually mistook the person in front of her for Lu Shen.
"Why?"
She recited the familiar lines, her voice trembling, her eyes reddening.
The people behind the camera exchanged glances and whispered, "Director Lu, no wonder he's won awards, his acting is really good."
Lu Jin couldn't help but feel a little smug, and exhaled a smoke ring, saying, "That's right."
The group couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The way they captured that expression was so incredibly realistic.
In the living room, the male supporting character had already walked towards Jian Ruoxi.
He raised his hand and shoved the cake onto her dress.
The voice said coldly, "I don't like you anymore, it's that simple."
Jian Ruoxi's eyes were filled with tears, but they didn't fall.
Such an expression made her seem even more pitiful.
