Chapter 95 He is no one else.
Xu Lu invested in this film, and it was Xu Lu who recommended her to act in it.
So...the person who wants her to leave the dating reality show...is also Xu Lu, right?
That's ridiculous.
Jiang Luo always believed that she was able to get this role because her acting skills were recognized, and that she relied on her strength.
In the end, it all came down to Xu Lu's little tricks.
Does Brother Lin know about this?
How much do they know?
His face was devoid of emotion, numb and lifeless.
"Thank you," Jiang Luo said dryly. "I'm going back to my room now."
She turned away, looking utterly dejected.
Behind him, two pairs of eyes followed closely.
Back in the room, Shi Yan came up to her, intending to ask Jiang Luo and He Ziyan about the battle.
Jiang Luo ignored it, picked up her phone, and left the room.
She wanted to call Lin Hengtong.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of the week, let alone tonight.
There are cameras everywhere.
Holding her phone, she left the small house.
At the dining table, He Ziyan gazed at Jiang Luo's retreating figure, his brows furrowing even deeper.
As soon as Jiang Luo entered the courtyard, a staff member followed her, "Teacher Jiang, what's wrong?"
Not wanting to put her in a difficult position, Jiang Luo said, "I have a private phone call to make. I'll go back after I finish."
The emphasis on "private" prompted the staff to tactfully refrain from following.
Still wearing slippers, Jiang Luo didn't have time to change. She couldn't wait to ask Brother Lin what was going on.
As Jiang Luo slowly walked along the roadside, she dialed Lin Heng's number.
"beep--"
"beep--"
...
The long wait fueled her anger, so much so that as soon as the call connected, she couldn't help but ask, "Did Xu Lu contact you about 'Living Up to July'?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
A torrent of emotions surged within Jiang Luo, who struggled to suppress them, and she asked again in a cold voice, "What did you promise her?"
Lin Heng did not answer.
"If you won't tell me, I'll just guess. Did you promise her you'd advise me to stay away from He Ziyan?"
Once the truth was guessed, Lin Heng said urgently, "Luo Luo! Let's talk when we meet. I'm coming to pick you up now."
"No need." Jiang Luo's face was expressionless, her tone calm and cold. "You don't need to come pick me up, and I won't go with you."
"Luo Luo, is there anyone else with you?" Lin Heng took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Your current situation is not suitable for discussing these things. If you have any complaints, we can talk about them when we meet."
“Now that you put it that way, I understand. Brother Lin, there’s nothing to talk about.” Biting her lip, Jiang Luo resolutely added, “I’m not taking this role.”
"Jiang Luo!" Lin Heng shouted sternly.
No matter how much you vent your emotions, he will always try to persuade you gently.
But when Jiang Luo said she wouldn't answer, he exploded like a firecracker that had been lit.
"Are you crazy? Didn't you really want to act? Why are you saying you're not going to act anymore? Jiang Luo, does it matter how you got this opportunity? What matters is that this opportunity is now yours!"
Jiang Luo sneered, "Isn't it important how you got this opportunity?" She asked again, "What is He Ziyan? Your bargaining chip? And what am I? The chip that controls the chip? Brother Lin, I want to act, but I don't want to act like this."
A deep breath came from the other end.
"He Ziyan? It's He Ziyan again! Who does He Ziyan think he is? Jiang Luo! You two live together, and it's normal to be attracted to him since he's good to you. Think about Xu Jingyan. When you were filming with Xu Jingyan, wasn't she good to you? You two were like sisters back then, I saw it all. But after filming, didn't she still push you into an abyss of no return? Luo Luo, those people are just passersby. From beginning to end, only I have been by your side. Only I am doing this for your own good!"
Indeed, looking back from today's perspective, that is certainly true.
Xu Jingyan abandoned her.
Lin Heng protected her.
But……
“He is He Ziyan, he is no one else,” Jiang Luo said slowly.
She had worried and doubted, but she also vividly remembered how good He Ziyan had been to her.
The temperature I felt wasn't a dream.
It is real.
A burning hot chest, a warm breath.
Those were all real.
He Ziyan told her he liked her, and even though she rejected him first, he still told her.
His selfless attitude moved her.
The wind is picking up.
A cool sensation swept over her smooth calves.
She stood by the roadside, wearing pajamas and slippers, like a homeless vagrant.
"Jiang Luo, you've really lost your mind! You've only known He Ziyan for a week! Do you even know him? You actually gave up such a great opportunity for someone you've only known for a week. I really regret sending you on this show!" Lin Heng cursed angrily.
We've only known each other for a week!
Jiang Luo was surprised.
She and He Ziyan had only known each other for a week.
But why... do they seem to be such good friends?
Does he understand her?
uncertain.
But he stood there gently, without saying a word, and he gave her boundless strength.
Time will tell, provided you have the courage to press the start button.
There was a long silence.
"Jiang Luo," Brother Lin asked again, "Passion is like fireworks, beautiful but fleeting. When the passion fades, do you think he will still choose you?"
Lowering her eyes, Jiang Luo smiled faintly, "Brother Lin, why does it have to be him who chooses me? Why can only he be good to me? If I don't even give myself a chance, how can I be worthy of his kindness to me? I also want to get closer to him step by step."
The last sentence struck Lin Heng completely.
His voice lowered, and he murmured, "You weren't like this before."
He couldn't understand what made He Ziyan different from others.
Why... after meeting He Ziyan, Jiang Luo seems to be bewitched.
The wind rustles the leaves, the leaves move, but the heart remains still.
Jiang Luo replied, "I've always been like this. It's just..."
She looked ahead, where the lights were still on in the distant villa, their warm glow a window in the silent night.
"None of the people I've met before are him."
Her voice was both gentle and firm.
After hanging up the phone and turning around, Jiang Luo saw the person she and Lin Heng had been talking about.
He Ziyan stood ten meters away, gazing at her from afar.
The streetlights were not very bright, and the light was a faint yellow.
He was also dressed in pajamas and wearing slippers.
What a coincidence, two homeless people.
He stood in the circle of light, looking slightly worried, with his hands in his pockets, looking rather cool.
Jiang Luo's cheeks flushed, and she froze.
Did He Ziyan hear that?
They shouldn't be able to hear it from that far away.
But I still feel guilty.
He Ziyan slowly walked over after Jiang Luo took the phone away from her ear.
His good upbringing prevented him from eavesdropping.
He stopped in front of Jiang Luo, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Luo nodded: "Mm."
After talking things out with Lin Heng, she felt much better.
Since entering the industry, she has always been pushed along by an invisible hand.
This time, she also wanted to try to go to the places she wanted to go.
