Chapter 102
The director seemed to be waiting on the other end of the line. The call was connected within two seconds, and an anxious voice came from the other end of the line: "How are you thinking about it? Can you come back?"
"You can go back," Lin Ruo paused, "but I remember I paid a penalty for breach of contract before, this..."
Before she could finish, the director immediately understood what she meant: "I know, I know. We will refund you every penny of the liquidated damages, and also add an additional notice fee. What do you think?" This eagerness made Lin Ruo a little puzzled. Why did it have to be her?
"How about it? Well... have you thought about it?" Seeing that she didn't respond immediately, the director asked again tentatively.
"I've thought about it, so see you next time."
"Okay, okay! I'll send the things you need to prepare to your phone right away, so make sure to check it."
They both hung up the phone.
Lin Ruo stared at the phone for a moment, then opened the director's chat box. By this time, the director had already sent her the event requirements, and she read them carefully from beginning to end.
"Sister, you have to take me with you. I want to go." Qin Yu slowly moved closer to her and stared at her very seriously.
"Me too." Meng Mian quickly raised his hand to express his thoughts.
Seeing the two people looking so worried about being left behind, Lin Ruo put away his phone, stared at them and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you."
"That's great." Both of them felt relieved and continued eating without saying anything more.
Lin Ruo looked down at the notice and noticed that it seemed her parents would need to appear in the film. Her parents? She looked up at Lin's parents, wondering if they would be willing. She was unsure, but she didn't rush to ask. She figured she would ask when she needed to. They probably wouldn't refuse...
She saw that everyone had almost finished eating. She stood up and tried to clear the dishes, but Lu Yinzhou, who was sitting next to her, stood up and stopped her: "You and Mom, take a rest. We'll take care of this."
"Yes, yes!" Qin Yu and Meng Mian nodded in agreement. Ning Yuan had already started to clean up.
"Come on, let's sit over there." Mother Lin smiled and took Lin Ruo's hand, leading her to sit on the sofa.
"Okay." Lin Ruo sat down, watching the five people busying around, thinking to herself, this must be why she chose to stay in this world. In fact, as they slowly got along, she gradually felt the family love that she had never experienced before, and of course she hoped to feel more family love in the future.
With so many people around, the table was cleared quickly. Lin Ruo picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was getting late, and the room couldn't accommodate so many people. He stood up and looked at his parents, "Dad, Mom, we're going back first."
Lin's mother wanted to let her stay, but when she looked at the house, she knew there was no room for her, so she had to give up. She was thinking about when to move to another house with more rooms so that all the children could stay at home.
Lin's father and mother sent the five people to the door before going back.
Lin Ruo walked in front, and the other four followed behind. Qin Yu glanced at Lu Yinzhou and Ning Yuan, and curled her lips: "You two still want to follow? There's no room for you here."
After he said that, Lin Ruo finally realized what was going on. He turned around and nodded, "Yes, the house I rented is not big. It has two bedrooms and a living room, which is just right for the two of us to have one each." Qin Yu puffed out his chest and felt a little proud. After all, he had brought him with him when he rented the house, so there must be a room for him.
"It's okay, I have room." Lu Yinzhou glanced at Qin Yu, walked over to Lin Ruo, and whispered, "How about this, let's all move into my villa. It's spacious, and we can have our parents move in later. What do you think?"
"Ah? No..." Qin Yu wanted to refuse on behalf of Lin Ruo, but was held down by Ning Yuan and Meng Mian on the left and right.
"I think it's okay." Ning Yuan nodded.
"Yes, let's all go over there." Meng Mian agreed very much.
Lin Ruo thought about it and realized that the rent for the house he rented was about to expire. He thought that any savings would be good. His brothers all had money anyway, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."
"Then... let's go." Lu Yinzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly and left with the four people.
"Go back and pack your luggage first." Lin Ruo did not forget that his tarot cards and clothes were still in the house. He had to go back and pack them. These things could not be left there. He had to take them away.
"Okay." So the five of them went back together, planning to pack up and go to Lu Yinzhou's villa.
Lin Ruo paused as she reached the bottom of the rental apartment. She saw Lu Anyu standing there, head down, lost in thought. Why was he here? Was something wrong?
Qin Yu also saw it, and leaned close to Lin Ruo's ear and whispered, "Why is he here? Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know. You take them upstairs to get the things, and just bring my suitcase down. Don't touch anything inside." After giving the instructions, Lin Ruo walked towards Lu Anyu.
Lu Anyu, who was thinking about something, turned around and saw Lin Ruo approaching. He took two steps back in shock, his face full of disbelief: "You...you...why are you here? What's going on?"
"Are you surprised to see me?" Lin Ruo was a little curious about why he was in such a state. Is there something he doesn't know?
"No... I thought I would never see you again in this life." He immediately shook his head, his eyes filled with excitement that he could not hide.
Lin Ruo understood what he meant. If the mission failed or she didn't stay, the two of them might never have the chance to meet again. But she didn't know why he had such an idea, and she was a little confused.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" She took a step forward and looked at him and asked.
"No... I just came to see you. See if you're okay?" He clenched his fists, but his face looked calm. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Lin Ruo was not unaware of his feelings. Previously, due to the mission, she hadn't been able to respond. Now that the mission was over, she really didn't know what to do. After all, she had never been in a serious relationship before, and she didn't know how to deal with his feelings. She didn't know what to think of him either.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Anyu seemed to sense her hesitation and pointed to the car next to her: "I just came to take a look. If you think I'm disturbing you, I'll leave immediately."
"Wait." Lin Ruo called him and watched him stop. "Zhao Zhao...how is she doing lately?"
"She's fine, but she's always thinking about you and wondering how your affairs are going." Lu Anyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at her.
"That's good. I..." Lin Ruo paused: "I plan to go back to the show."
"Really? That's great!" Lu Anyu's face lit up instantly, and he tried hard to suppress his excitement. "Then...see you on the show?"
"Okay, see you at the show." Lin Ruo nodded. She knew she didn't hate him. Although she couldn't respond to his feelings, just meeting him should be fine.
Lu Anyu stared at her, clenching his fists, but nodded calmly.
At this moment, Qin Yu came down from the building carrying a suitcase and shouted to the two of them, "Sister, okay, let's go."
"Okay." Lin Ruo turned around, nodded to him, and then prepared to leave.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Lu Anyu reacted, took a step forward, stood in front of her and asked softly.
"No need, we can go by ourselves." Lin Ruo declined with a smile, and then left with Qin Yu.
Lu Anyu looked at the backs of the two people, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak and turned away silently.
"Have you got everything?" Lin Ruo asked Qin Yu beside him as they walked.
"Well, it's all here."
"OK."
The five of them headed straight for Lu Yinzhou's villa. As expected of a top star, his villa was truly magnificent. This was already the second villa Lin Ruo had seen of his, and he probably had other houses as well.
"You don't think I earned my villa by being a celebrity, do you?" Lu Yinzhou asked with his head tilted.
"Ah? Isn't it?" Lin Ruo was surprised.
"Of course not." Lu Yinzhou smiled and turned to walk towards Ning Yuan behind him.
Lin Ruo, Meng Mian, and Qin Yu walked in front, while Lu Yinzhou and Ning Yuan lagged behind, whispering something.
Qin Yu was the youngest and had been spoiled since childhood. He was very curious and leaned over to ask, "What are you two whispering about?"
"Nothing." Lu Yinzhou shook his head.
"You're lying! Something doesn't look right." Qin Yu didn't believe it.
Ning Yuan chuckled: "Didn't he say he was a guest in the observation room? But I remember that our top star seemed to have announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, right?"
"You..." Lu Yinzhou glared at him.
"Oh, yeah, you've retired too." Lin Ruo just remembered and patted his forehead. "Then how are you going?" Lu Yinzhou was a top star. His retirement made a huge splash. What if he changed his mind and went back? It would have a bad impact.
"Of course not going back." Lu Yinzhou glanced at the two of them, walked to the door and opened it: "Who says you have to be in the entertainment industry to participate? I have my own way. You should think about how to go by yourself." He said the second half of the sentence to Ning Yuan.
He opened the door and let everyone in: "You can choose any room upstairs. Stay in any one you want."
"Okay." Lin Ruo nodded and went upstairs. Qin Yu followed closely behind her carrying her suitcase.
Lin Ruo chose a north-facing room. The north side was good for her fortune and it looked pretty good. After she made her choice, Qin Yu pushed the box in.
"Thank you. Go get some rest." After seeing Qin Yu off, Lin Ruo began to pack up. She took out the tarot cards and looked at them. Everything was fine. She slowly put them away and picked out a few more clothes because she had to go back home tomorrow.
Although she didn't know what Gu An'an's intention was in asking her to go back, she felt that it was not a good thing. However, she still had to go. After all, Gu's parents had raised her.
Besides, even if something happens, she has a way to solve it.
She stood up and walked to the bathroom. After cleaning up, she lay down.
That night was the most restful and comfortable sleep she had ever had. She no longer had to worry about whether the mission would succeed or not, nor did she have to worry about whether they would follow the death script and truly live their lives.
The next day, she slept until she woke naturally. She checked the time and saw it was only a little after six. She didn't stay in bed any longer and got up, packed, and prepared to go to Gu's house.
