The meticulous and orderly congratulatory messages, and the scene of them being handed out in a neat queue, would amaze even fans from other groups.
"My goodness, is this Jian Ruoxi's fan club? Are they so well-trained?"
"Does anyone know who the leader of Jian Ruoxi's fan club is? I really want to ask him for advice."
So later on, fans from other groups started asking A-Jie and his team for advice.
However, Ah Jie and the others were busy working on data for their young mistress, and they pretended not to see or reply to any private messages from others asking for help.
Besides fans of other celebrities, other stars are also envious.
When they saw the "congratulations to the team" flooding the computer screen, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Jian Ruoxi has so many loyal fans right after her comeback!"
"They are so self-disciplined, Jian Ruoxi doesn't have to worry about them at all, unlike our fans, I have to remind them to climb the charts and stuff."
Jian Ruoxi was unaware of these online rivalries; she was still immersed in the joy of being able to join Huarui.
Not long after, someone from Huarui called.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Jian?" The person on the other end of the line was a girl with a particularly pleasant voice.
"Yes, that's me."
"I am a staff member of Huarui. Congratulations on becoming a contracted artist with Huarui. Please come to Huarui at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to complete the signing contract."
Jian Ruoxi noted down the time and place and promised that she would be there on time.
"We hope Ms. Jian will have a smooth career at Huarui in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Ruoxi looked out the window with a happy expression. "I'm looking forward to it too."
This was the first good news she received upon returning to the entertainment industry. She took out her phone, opened her contacts, and unconsciously scrolled to Lu Shen's name.
Back when she lived in the Lu family, she would tell Lu Shen everything, big or small, even if he was very impatient.
She still wants to tell him as soon as possible, but she hesitates.
"It might not be appropriate to contact them now."
She heard that Lu Shen had brought the old lady and Li Anran back from the hospital some time ago, and that Li Anran might be living in Lu Shen's bedroom now.
Jian Ruoxi turned off her phone and threw it far away to avoid acting impulsively. Then she buried herself in the blankets and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, Jian Ruoxi's phone suddenly lit up.
A text message popped up, still bearing Lu Shen's name.
"Congratulations on successfully joining Huarui."
The next day, the first thing Lu Shen did after waking up was to check his phone; Jian Ruoxi hadn't replied yet.
"I guess he was too happy about the news yesterday, and now he can't get up." There was a hint of doting in Jian Ruoxi's voice, which she rarely heard.
If Jian Ruoxi had heard him speak to her like that three years ago, she would probably have woken up laughing in her dreams.
Lu Shengang opened the door and saw Li Anran's face.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Shen's expression immediately changed, his displeasure quite obvious.
"Shen, Grandma asked me to come and talk to her." Seeing Lu Shen's expression, Li Anran felt uneasy.
What happened? They were fine when they were in the hospital before?
As long as she can revert to her college self, Lu Shen will always feel a sliver of pity for her.
Could it be that I did something that made him realize something was wrong?
Suppressing her doubts, Li Anran put on an innocent look again, "Ah Shen, Grandma asked me to call you down for breakfast. Today she made all your favorite dishes."
Lu Shen glanced at her, then quickly looked away. "Okay, go down."
Upon arriving at the restaurant, there were more than a dozen breakfast and tea dishes laid out on the table, a level of luxury comparable to entertaining a president.
The old lady waved to a maid, "Place this bowl of bird's nest in front of Anran. She was just discharged from the hospital and needs to be properly nourished."
"Thank you, Grandma!" Li Anran called out sweetly.
Seeing this scene, even the servants couldn't help but sigh.
When the young mistress was alive, she was always busy with the household affairs. She also had to serve the old lady at every meal. Often, the young mistress was the last one to eat.
For three years in a row, let alone bird's nest, the old lady never served the young mistress a single dish.
I don't know what's so good about Miss Li these days, that the old lady likes her so much.
"Shen, when are you going to let Anran move back in? It's so inconvenient for her to travel back and forth every day." The old lady's intention was to have Li Anran come to live with the Lu family as soon as possible, preferably in Lu Shen's bedroom.
Who knows, she might have another grandson soon.
During her time recuperating in the hospital, she came to terms with it. It didn't matter that Li Anran lost her last child; as long as she wasn't injured, she could just have another one.
Before Lu Shen could even speak, Li Anran thoughtfully came to his rescue.
“Grandma, I live not far from here. If you want me to see you, I can come anytime.”
"Besides, I'm young. Making a few more trips back and forth is a good way to show my filial piety."
After saying those two sentences, the old lady laughed even more happily.
The servants serving nearby finally understood the difference between the young mistress and Li Anran.
Li Anran only knows how to sweet-talk the old lady; she doesn't seem to do anything else.
The young mistress was different; she was the one who genuinely cared about the old lady, though the old lady herself was unaware of it.
"You're the most sensible one."
Lu Shen didn't say a word the whole time, just ate his meal in silence, and didn't respond to the old lady's question.
But clearly, the old lady didn't want him to get away with it today.
"Ah Shen, I saw the family doctor yesterday, and he said An Ran's health is almost fully recovered."
When do you plan to finalize your engagement?
Hearing the old lady's question, Li Anran couldn't help but feel nervous.
When she first returned to China, she was very confident that she would marry into the Lu family, but after experiencing so much, she was no longer so sure.
Even though Lu Shen was sitting right across from her, she felt that the man was very far away from her, and she couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
Does he like Jian Ruoxi? It seems not. If he really did, why did he break up with her in the first place?
"He said he likes me?" Li Anran recalled the look in Lu Shen's eyes that morning, and felt a chill run down her spine.
That kind of gaze doesn't look like the way someone looks at someone they like.
Lu Shen's answer shocked her, and she looked up.
"We'll do as you say. We can get engaged whenever you want."
Since he couldn't be with Ruoxi for the time being, he might as well take this opportunity to see if he could find out who was behind Li Anran.
If it weren't for Ruoxi, engagement and marriage wouldn't seem so sacred and important to him now.
It wouldn't be bad to use it as bait.
