“I knew you were overthinking things again. I’ve said it before, I won’t let you bear everything alone anymore. You need to learn to rely on others. If I don’t have the ability to solve problems and instead become a burden to you, then I don’t deserve to stand by your side.” Ruan Jizhou held her slender shoulders with both hands, his gentle tone full of encouragement.
Lu Zhiwei was still somewhat uneasy.
"I'm injured, it hurts a lot." Ruan Jizhou brought his handsome face closer, his gentle tone even carrying a hint of coquetry.
His bruised face was stretched out in front of Lu Zhiwei, magnified infinitely in her pupils.
Lu Zhiwei pulled his arm and turned to enter the apartment: "Do you have a first-aid kit at home?"
"Yes." Ruan Jizhou personally found it in the drawer and placed it on the coffee table.
The two people sat down on the sofa.
Lu Zhiwei opened the first-aid kit, skillfully found cotton swabs and iodine, and helped Ruan Jizhou disinfect.
A cotton swab dipped in iodine was gently touched to the wound on his forehead, and Ruan Jizhou trembled slightly.
"Was I too rough?" Lu Zhiwei put the cotton swab down.
Ruan Jizhou shook his head: "This iodine contains alcohol, which is a bit irritating."
"This disinfection method is more effective, just bear with it." Lu Zhiwei disinfected him again, and then took out some anti-swelling and pain-relieving medicine to apply to him.
Her movements were incredibly skillful, as if she had treated wounds like this many times before.
at the same time.
Qi Mingli's private club.
Shen Jinmo, covered in wounds, didn't receive such good treatment. He sat at the bar with his scarred face, chugging a bottle of whiskey.
Blood was still seeping from the corner of his mouth, and amber-colored liquor rich in alcohol had spilled onto it.
The spicy sensation, accompanied by a tearing pain, numbed my entire body.
Looking at his dejected state, Qi Mingli gave the bartender a wink, signaling him to add some water to the drink.
Fake alcohol wouldn't kill him.
"Qi Mingli, tell me, how could she treat me like this? How dare she?" Shen Jingmo raised his head, his intoxicated eyes bloodshot.
This time, Qi Mingli could tell that he was truly heartbroken.
He reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Let it go, brother. She's found someone new. You can't go back."
"No, she will come back. Soon, she will come back begging me." Shen Jingmo put down his wine glass.
He handed the file folder that Lin Jing had just organized to Qi Mingli from the table: "Have a few of your media friends send these out right now."
Qi Mingli took the document bag, opened it, and took out several photos.
These are photos of Qi Mingli and Lu Zhiwei visiting the Lu family hospital together. Judging from the clarity of the photos, they were probably retrieved from the hospital's surveillance footage.
There's also a photo of the two of them sitting together chatting and laughing at the old lady's birthday banquet tonight.
There were even candid photos of Lu Zhiwei entering and leaving Ruan Jizhou's presidential suite.
Each one illustrates a key point.
Actor Ruan Jizhou is in love, having fallen sweetly in a relationship with Shen Jinmo's ex-wife, who is pregnant out of wedlock.
Put the photo back into the file folder.
Qi Mingli sighed: "Think it over carefully. If you post these things, Ruan Jizhou's image as a high-class beauty in the entertainment industry will be shaken, and he will lose a group of female fans, but it won't be a complete collapse. Once he makes an official announcement, the marriage between the two families will be a done deal, and you will really have no chance at all."
Shen Jingmo's eyes turned cold and gray: "They treated me like this, isn't it good enough that I let the whole world bless them? How magnanimous of me! I even helped them make their relationship official..."
He grabbed these photos and laughed hysterically.
He was laughing for a while when he suddenly stopped, leaned on the table, and crumpled the photo he was holding into a ball.
"I'm not sending it anymore. Why should I let them have their way?"
"Okay. Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble," Qi Mingli kindly advised him.
Shen Jinmo hiccuped, grunted, and his voice was hoarse and nasal.
Qi Mingli thought he had taken it to heart.
Until the next morning.
Qi Mingli saw the trending topics constantly appearing on the hot search list at the company.
#The female lead in "Yunxi Ji" evaded taxes#
#Domestic Violence by the Second Male Lead in "Grand Confession"#
#The film "Atonement" was reported for being too bloody and violent and was sent back for re-examination and cuts#
#Director of variety show "Let's Go Travel" arrested for drug use#
...
The trending topics seem unrelated to Ruan Jizhou on the surface, but in reality, they are all related to him.
These TV series are all based on major IPs and starred Ruan Jizhou.
The series of negative news reports means that these big-budget productions will either be delayed indefinitely or simply shelved.
Ruan Jizhou worked hard all year, but it was all for nothing.
The trending topic #Feeling sorry for Actor Ruan, what did he do to deserve this?# jumped from 32nd to 1st place on the trending list, becoming an instant hit.
Putting down his phone, Qi Mingli stared at the ceiling and let out a long howl.
"Oh my god, of all people to offend, why did I have to offend such an ancestor?"
He also invested in and produced that movie.
If it can't premiere online this year, all his money will be wasted.
Qi Mingli was so angry that he couldn't breathe for a long time.
I made a phone call to Shen Jinmo.
At this moment, Shen Jinmo was leaning back in his office chair, resting his chin on his hand, staring at the constantly refreshing trending search terms on his computer, thinking it was Lu Zhiwei calling.
I glanced at my phone and saw it was Qi Mingli calling. My interest waned, but I answered anyway.
"Shen Jinmo! If you want to take revenge on Ruan Jizhou, why hurt innocent people? I invested in that movie. Do you know how much money I'm going to lose? I should have known better than to try to persuade you last night."
This attempt to persuade him backfired and hurt him.
"Film quality control should be strict, and sending it back for review is a responsible approach to the audience," Shen Jinmo said logically.
