Lin Ningning gently nudged Lin Beichen's arm and said playfully, "Brother, this is so much better than your wailing singing just now! You were so off-key, I didn't even have the nerve to call you out on the spot!"
After saying that, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lin Beichen rubbed his straight nose helplessly after hearing this, "You have the nerve to say that! You were laughing so loudly just now that you even spilled the orange juice you were holding, don't think I didn't see it!"
As he spoke, he pointed with his hand to a stack of tissues in the trash can.
Lin Ningning chuckled dryly twice, scratching her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh dear, it's just that it was so funny, I couldn't help it!"
Lin Beichen rolled his eyes at her, reached out and gently pushed her, urging, "Alright, alright, hurry up and choose a song!"
After receiving the instruction, Lin Ningning skipped and hopped to the karaoke machine and excitedly started selecting songs.
In no time, many new songs were added to the screen.
Huo Tingzhen sat on a high chair and sang continuously for more than twenty minutes before handing over the microphone to Lin Ningning, who had been waiting for a long time, amidst enthusiastic applause.
Lin Ningning, who took the microphone, was equally impressive and immediately belted out several passionate songs.
Lin Beichen sat down next to Jian Yu and gave her a look. "Jian Yu, why don't you sing a few songs too?"
Perhaps the food was a little too salty today, because Jian Yu felt incredibly thirsty and just sat there drinking water. So, she didn't really feel like singing.
She shook her head. "I'll choose the song later. You guys go ahead and sing!"
Lin Beichen tilted his head back and downed the rest of his glass of orange juice in one gulp, then stood up. "I'm going to the restroom."
Jian Yu nodded.
He then turned and left the private room.
Who knew that Lin Beichen's trip would last for more than ten minutes.
However, Jian Yu and the others didn't pay too much attention and continued singing, still immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
Another ten minutes or so passed before Lin Beichen leisurely returned to the private room.
Moreover, his emotions have clearly changed.
Jian Yu immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you run into someone?"
Huo Tingzhen noticed this scene and stopped, looking at Lin Beichen with concern.
Lin Ningning, who was busy selecting songs, looked puzzled. "What's wrong? You went out for a bit, and when you came back, you looked so pale."
Lin Beichen strode to the sofa, plopped down, picked up a bottle of purified water from the table, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. In the blink of an eye, he had drunk the entire bottle without leaving a single drop.
Then, as if to vent his anger, he threw the empty bottle heavily into a nearby trash can with a loud "bang!"
Hearing the impact, Lin Beichen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before slowly saying, "I just ran into the production team, and it turns out the screenwriter they hired is a guy known for writing melodramatic plots. I knew without a doubt that he would completely revise my script."
Hearing this, Jian Yu quickly comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Didn't you already decide not to get involved in this anymore?"
Lin Beichen's chest was still heaving violently as he responded indignantly, "That's true, but even though I think about it, I'm still very angry when I see them doing it with my own eyes."
At this moment, Huo Tingzhen, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled and suggested, "In that case, why don't you just buy the copyright back?"
Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly, his face contorted with pain, and said, "I want to too, but the thought of having to spend ten times the money to buy back the things I sold myself makes my heart ache..."
Huo Tingzhen couldn't help but chuckle, waving his hand and saying, "That settles it then. Alright, stop worrying about this, come and sing some karaoke to relax!"
After saying that, he waved to Lin Beichen.
But Lin Beichen remained seated, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, he continued, "Oh, by the way, I also saw Director He earlier. I guess he's the director in charge of this filming. Also, I saw Kuang Xin from the Kuang family. Her relationship with Director He seems a bit off."
Jian Yu nodded slightly and said softly, "They are now in a romantic relationship."
Lin Beichen, who had been sitting, jumped up as if struck by lightning, his face full of confusion and shock. "A couple? Doesn't Lao He already have a wife and children? How can he suddenly have a girlfriend?"
Lao He has finally found a role to play recently, so why is he already indulging himself and acting recklessly?
Faced with Lin Beichen's barrage of questions, Jian Yu's tone remained unusually calm: "We're divorced."
These two simple words were like a bombshell, leaving Lin Beichen speechless once again.
"Divorced?"
Lin Beichen still couldn't believe it, and his voice unconsciously rose a lot, "Did Lao He mention it?"
Jian Yu shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure. Maybe he brought it up on his own initiative, but it's also possible that his wife brought it up first."
Lin Beichen, "His wife didn't choose to divorce him when his career was at a low point. Now that things are just starting to improve, how could his wife possibly file for divorce at this time?"
Huo Tingzhen continued, "Perhaps...maybe Lao He committed some unforgivable mistake? After all, the world of fame and fortune is rife with all sorts of chaos. In order to climb to a higher position, some people will do anything dirty."
Lin Beichen, "Are you saying that Lao He cheated on his wife?"
At this moment, Lin Ningning suddenly interjected, "You mean Lao He cheated on me? Oh my god! I quite like his movies, I never thought he would do something like this!"
Jian Yu quickly tried to calm the agitated Lin Ningning down, "Don't worry, these are just our guesses. Nobody knows the specifics, and it might not be what we think."
Lin Ningning pouted and muttered, "Hmph! What a coincidence! I think it's almost certainly true. Otherwise, what kind of good woman would file for divorce when her husband's career is improving after years of hardship?"
So Jian Yu also fell silent.
The room was quiet for a while.
The bodyguard pushed the door open and came in. "Director Lao He and Ms. Kuang Xin are at the door of the private room right now. They said they wanted to come over and say hello. Should we let them in?"
Huo Tingzhen looked at Lin Beichen and said, "They must have seen you and came looking for you. Go sit with them for a while! Don't let these two spoil our fun."
This means they don't want the two of them to come in.
Without saying a word, Lin Beichen stood up and left.
The bodyguard hesitated, about to explain, when Lin Beichen returned, "Jian Yu..."
Um?
Could it be that I've come to see her?
