Lu Zhong actually disapproved of Lu Sangsang entering the entertainment industry; he hoped that Lu Sangsang could marry Chu Jun as soon as possible, just like Lu Huan.
Lu Zhong had mentioned it several times, both openly and secretly, but Lu Sangsang insisted on her own opinion; entering the entertainment industry was her biggest dream.
Lu Zhong was furious about this and was even less likely to help Lu Sangsang; otherwise, why would Lu Sangsang have lowered herself to beg Lu Huan for help?
Guo Yi wasn't very wary of Lu Huan. She thought to herself that both of them were her daughters, and she loved them both equally. She sighed and said, "Your dad is a stubborn person, otherwise Mom wouldn't have come to you."
Lu Huan felt quite sorry for Lu Sangsang. Fortunately, she was clever and quick-witted and decisively married Gu Zhendong, thus escaping the misery of the Lu family as soon as possible.
It's practically impossible for Lu Zhong to control her now.
Despite her sympathy, she remained firm in her words, saying, "Mom, I really don't know Mr. Sheng well, and I really can't help Sangsang with this."
Guo Yi didn't think too much about it. "Alright, it's rare for you to come back, so I won't talk about these unhappy things with you. How are you doing lately? Is your son-in-law treating you well? ...Why do you look a little thinner?"
Lu Huan was so shocked by these words that her jaw almost dropped. "Mom, didn't you notice how obvious my double chin is?!"
As soon as Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong left, Lu Sangsang asked Guo Yi how things were going.
Guo Yi said, "Your sister isn't in the entertainment industry, so how could she be familiar with that Sheng Fan? You should see if there are any other solutions."
Lu Sangsang forced a stiff smile, "I know I've made things difficult for you, sister!"
Although Lu Huan said she wouldn't help, she was still quite curious whether Sheng Fan had changed his opinion of Lu Sangsang.
When talking about Shen Fei, they specifically mentioned Lu Sangsang's name.
Lu Huan: You have absolutely no opinion about Lu Sangsang?
Sheng Fan was probably busy, as he didn't reply to the message for a long time.
Actually, Sheng Fan's side isn't that busy.
He took a couple of days off, but he didn't forget his work. He was busy serving Shen Fei, the young master, in Shen Fei's small apartment.
The company should really award him the Most Diligent Employee Award.
Shen Fei refused to agree to sign the contract no matter what, so Sheng Fan kept coaxing him. Finally, after finishing their meal, they were leisurely lying on the sofa chatting with Lu Huan.
Shen Fei came out of the bedroom to get a drink of water and inadvertently glanced at Sheng Fan's phone screen, where he was chatting with Lu Huan.
Curiosity compelled him to stop, and he asked casually, "Who are you chatting with?"
Sheng Fan didn't think much of it, "With your sister Lu!"
Shen Fei knew, which is why he asked, "What are you talking about?"
Sheng Fan was a shrewd person and knew long ago that Shen Fei had feelings for Lu Huan. Unfortunately, his feelings were unrequited, as Lu Huan already had a husband.
"It's nothing, Lu Huan just asked me what I think of Lu Sangsang."
"Lu Sangsang?"
"You know him?"
Judging from his tone, it seemed that they were quite familiar with each other. Sheng Fan said, "She's quite famous. I've seen her act. Her acting skills are still a bit raw. With some more practice, she should have a good future."
"We've met a few times."
When Shen Fei mentioned Lu Sangsang, his tone was not only unpleasant, but his expression was also disdainful: "If you want to sign a contract with her, I will not cooperate with you!"
This forces him to choose between two options.
Sheng Fan, sensing something amiss in his words, became extremely interested. "What deep-seated grudge do you two have?"
Shen Fei pursed her lips, recalling what had happened that day, and then told Sheng Fanquan about it.
Sheng Fan was dumbfounded: "She actually resorted to such underhanded tactics?"
To be an artist, you not only need good looks and talent, but also good character. For example, the people he promotes are all upright and have never done anything despicable.
He had thought about it for a long time. He had originally planned that if Lu Huan rejected him again, he might consider signing Lu Sangsang. But after hearing what Shen Fei said, his idea of signing a contract was immediately shattered.
Lu Sangsang has a bad character; if she can do something like this now, who knows what might happen in the future.
If he really makes Lu Sangsang famous one day, and then the paparazzi dig up this story from who knows where, wouldn't that become a scandal?
This kind of harmful scandal is something she can never recover from.
Moreover, Gu Zhendong would definitely not let the person who harmed Lu Huan off easily. He didn't want to go against Gu Zhendong, nor was it necessary for him to jeopardize his bright future for the sake of Lu Sangsang.
In just a few moments, Sheng Fan had already thought about many things, and the answer he came to from all aspects was that he could not sign a contract with Lu Sangsang.
Having made up his mind, Sheng Fan suddenly remembered something, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Wait, do you mean that if I don't sign with Lu Sangsang, you'll sign with me?"
So all his hard work these past few days, like a beast of burden, has finally paid off!
Just when Sheng Fan thought his suffering was finally over and he was about to unearth a treasure, he heard Shen Fei coldly scoff, "I haven't thought it through yet!"
Joy instantly turned to pain, and Sheng Fan was almost about to hug Shen Fei's legs and cry his heart out, "How long have you been thinking about this? Why haven't you made up your mind yet?!"
Why do kids have so many ideas?
Not long after, Lu Huan received a message from Sheng Fan.
Sheng Fan: Lu Sangsang is quite talented, but unfortunately I have no interest in her. Just Shen Fei alone is enough to keep me busy!
Lu Huan thought about it and agreed. Shen Fei's abilities were by no means inferior. Once he became popular, Shen Fei would be extremely busy.
Lu Sangsang didn't want to spend her whole life playing forgettable supporting roles, so after much thought, she set her sights on Chu Jun.
The marriage between the Lu and Chu families resulted in the loss of Lu Huan and Lu Sangsang.
Chu Jun's attitude towards Lu Sangsang wasn't particularly dislike, but it wasn't affectionate either. Most of the time, their interactions were distant and cold.
After dressing up carefully, Lu Sangsang invited Chu Jun to dinner. He thought for a moment, but did not refuse and gladly accepted the invitation.
As they enjoyed the exquisite Western meal, Lu Sangsang cut a small piece of steak. "Mr. Chu, may I ask what our relationship is now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jun looked up at her but did not answer.
Lu Sangsang waited a moment, feeling anxious inside, but she smiled and showed that she understood Chu Jun's feelings: "Mr. Chu, if you are not satisfied with me, you can cancel the engagement. I don't mind."
A proud and unruly person like Chu Jun would disdain being arranged a business marriage by his elders; otherwise, why would he refuse Lu Huan?
Lu Sangsang used a strategy of retreat to advance, thinking that if Chu Jun really rejected her, then she would proceed with her next plan.
Looking into Lu Sangsang's expectant eyes, Chu Jun remained silent for a moment before saying, "You're overthinking it. I'm not dissatisfied with you."
The marriage between the Lu and Chu families is inevitable. He has already rejected Lu Huan, and he cannot possibly reject another Lu Sangsang.
Logically speaking, Lu Sangsang is very beautiful, poised, gentle and sensible, exactly the wife he dreamed of.
He thought that if he married a woman like Lu Sangsang, his married life wouldn't be too bad.
But whenever Chu Jun thought about his life after marrying Lu Sangsang, he would inexplicably think of Lu Huan.
Before Lu Sangsang appeared, his wife should have been Lu Huan.
He disliked being tied down and having his marriage controlled by someone else, so he was very resistant to Lu Huan. In addition, Lu Huan's persistent pestering and unreasonable behavior made him even more disgusted with her.
But at some point, his impression of Lu Huan changed. He would often think of Lu Huan late at night, remembering how she used to follow him around calling him "Brother Chu" when they were in school.
Lu Sangsang breathed a sigh of relief. "Since Mr. Chu has no complaints about me, I think it's time for us to take things to the next level?"
Regardless, she has already lost Gu Zhendong, so she cannot lose Chu Jun as well.
No matter how outstanding Gu Zhendong is, he's still destined to die young, while Chu Jun can live a long life, and he will definitely be even more powerful than Gu Zhendong in the future.
Chu Jun pursed his lips, "You mean..."
A blush crossed Lu Sangsang's face, but her eyes shone brightly as she looked at him: "My father is urging us to get married as soon as possible..."
marry?
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened his mouth: "I..."
Lu Sangsang seemed to have already guessed what he was going to say, and quickly said, "I told my father that I'm still young, still in school, and my career is just starting out. I don't want to get married so early..."
Chu Jun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed still early."
To be precise, they weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend yet, and suddenly they were being asked about marriage. Chu Jun really wasn't used to it.
Lu Sangsang hesitated again and said tentatively, "But my father is pressuring me, and I really can't find an excuse."
“…Perhaps we could get engaged first, to avoid this period of pressure, what do you think?” Lu Sangsang’s eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Chu Jun expectantly.
"Engagement..." Chu Jun murmured these two words. He hadn't thought about marriage or engagement yet.
Chu Jun remained silent for a long time. Lu Sangsang guessed that he might disagree with her idea, and her eyes dimmed instantly. "Hehe, Mr. Chu, just take it as something I said casually and don't take it to heart."
Lu Sangsang is a gentle girl, unlike Lu Huan who is carefree. She is thoughtful and sensitive, so being rejected like this must make her feel bad. Chu Jun felt somewhat sorry for her.
Little did he know, he had already been tricked by Lu Sangsang.
After dinner, Chu Jun gentlemanly escorted Lu Sangsang home.
Little did they know, they were being photographed by paparazzi the whole way.
After Chu Jun dropped Lu Sangsang off at home, he received a call from Chu Han on the way.
Chu Han yelled angrily into the phone, "Brother, how come you're with Lu Sangsang? You even took her home!"
Chu Jun was somewhat puzzled: "How did you know?"
"Ha, now it's not just me who knows, the whole internet knows!"
Chu Jun was still driving and couldn't answer the phone, so after hanging up, he drove home as fast as he could.
As soon as Chu Han saw him, she puffed up like a balloon, glaring at him fiercely, "Why did you come back? You might as well have stayed overnight at Lu Sangsang's house!"
Chu Han was absolutely furious. When Lu Huan was pursuing him before, Chu Jun never politely escorted his Huan-zai home. But now that it was Lu Sangsang, he suddenly became so attentive.
Chu Jun was still completely confused. He grabbed Chu Han, who was turning to leave, and asked, "What did you mean by what you said on the phone?"
