In the early morning, a ray of sunlight fell on the bed.
Ivy slowly opened her eyes.
A handsome man walked in carrying breakfast.
"What...what did you do to me?" Ivy asked in a panicked voice, quickly covering her collar with the blanket.
Lin Yu glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "What do you think I would do to you? If it weren't for me, that beast would have already taken advantage of you!"
"You mean... Zhang Jimou?"
At this moment, Ivy finally remembered what had happened last night.
However, she immediately put on a nervous expression and tentatively asked, "Last night...did you scare him away?"
Lin Yu glanced at her. "Don't worry, he's been taken away by the police. Your troubles are completely resolved!"
"What? He was taken away by the police?" Ivy was incredulous.
In yesterday's situation, the police wouldn't have had time to react, and she knew that Zhang Jimou had a vast network of connections. In a small place like Guannei, he could easily find someone to smooth things over, so how could he possibly get in so easily?
You don't believe me?
Lin Yu shrugged and said, "Don't believe me if you want, but he's a public figure, and it won't be long before you receive news about his arrest and imprisonment!"
Ivy stood there for a moment, then shook her head when she saw Lin Yu's serious expression.
Clearly, she still didn't believe it.
"Handsome, I know you want to comfort me, but there's no need. I know Zhang Jimou's capabilities. He didn't succeed this time, but he'll definitely target me again in the future!"
Ivy sighed sadly and said, "But it doesn't matter. I'm already tired of it. I can just retire from the industry. I've wanted to leave this place of trouble for a long time!"
She smiled gently and continued to say to Lin Yu, "Actually, what I want to do most is to go to Dali, open a guesthouse, and drink Pu'er tea every day while facing Erhai Lake. Life would be so pleasant!"
Hearing her say that, Lin Yu was a little surprised. He had checked last night and found that this Ivy was a popular young actress with her career at its peak. It was really puzzling that she would say she wanted to give it up now.
Lin Yu frowned and said, "I'm telling the truth. Zhang Jimou is really finished. You don't need to worry about him anymore. Besides, it's not worth giving up your career for someone like him!"
“It’s not giving up!” Ivy shook her head and said, “You might not believe it, but I’m really fed up. I’ve seen too much filth in this industry!”
"To remain untainted in this industry, unless you have a powerful family background, most people will eventually slide into the mud!"
Ivy didn't know why, perhaps because she felt a good impression of this young man for his chivalry, or perhaps because she had too many worries on her mind, she suddenly poured them out to Lin Yu, a stranger.
Ivy said softly, "Actually, I also came from a wealthy family. I entered the entertainment industry purely to fulfill my childhood dream. Back then, with my family backing me up, I was respected wherever I went. No one dared to bully me. Even Zhang Jimou fawned over me and paved the way for me! But after my father's accident, everything changed..."
At this point, Ivy's beautiful eyes immediately reddened.
It has been almost a year since her father's accident. Having lost her strong support, her life has been like a rollercoaster ride, falling from heaven to the bottom.
Those who used to respect her suddenly changed their attitude completely, and even the seniors who used to take care of her instantly turned on her.
Take Zhang Jimou for example. If her father were still in power, he would never have dared to treat her like this. Ever since her father's accident, Zhang Jimou has been making all sorts of suggestive remarks to her, and even frequently touching her inappropriately on set.
That year, she had been dealing with all sorts of things and was already exhausted.
If she sold her soul and body, her career might continue to flourish, but that path was too dirty, and she was unwilling to do it!
Lin Yu's eyes flickered.
From Ivy's words and actions, he could tell that she came from a prominent family, and perhaps there were some sad stories behind her background.
But what does this have to do with him?
"I can see that you still like this path, but as the saying goes, you can't have it all. If you want to gain something, you have to give something in return! It's just a matter of choosing what to give up!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he picked up his jacket, turned around, and said calmly, "However, while following one's heart, if one can also uphold one's bottom line, that is a blessing in life!"
"The only thing one can seek in life is peace of mind! When life comes to an end, all fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds. If one can look back on the past and face it with equanimity, then one has not lived in vain!"
After saying this, Lin Yu walked away without looking back.
"Just leave after you finish breakfast, no need to lock the door!"
Lin Yu left after saying his last words.
"Why!"
Ivy was about to say something, but Lin Yu couldn't hear her anymore.
Ivy stood frozen for a long time, then couldn't help but murmur, "All a person can do in this life is seek peace of mind..."
She pondered those words carefully, and after a moment, her beautiful eyes gradually brightened.
In fact, she has been struggling with some things these days, and is torn between her inner thoughts and her own.
However, after Lin Yu's guidance, she suddenly felt relieved and her inner turmoil eased.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, she couldn't help but mutter, "This guy doesn't look that old, but he has such a profound understanding of life. What age does it take for someone to be so insightful and wise?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little interested in Lin Yu.
After finishing breakfast, she wiped her mouth, then took out a clean tissue and wrote down her WeChat contact information.
A life-saving grace must eventually be repaid.
She has plenty of money, but she doesn't want to repay in such a vulgar way.
So she wrote, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime. The world is vast, see you again in the future!"
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yu had already arrived at the mountaintop park of Yunwu Mountain.
He practiced his skills here yesterday.
This is a place blessed with good feng shui, gathering the most abundant spiritual energy of the entire mountain range.
However, when he arrived, some people were already doing their morning exercises up there.
This is a grandfather and granddaughter pair: a grandfather in his sixties and a girl of seventeen or eighteen with a touch of heroic spirit.
At that moment, the girl was watching her grandfather practice his martial arts.
Despite his advanced age, the old man's movements are exceptionally powerful. There's a saying that youth has the upper hand in boxing, but that only applies to lower-level players.
When you reach the level of a martial arts grandmaster, what matters most is skill and the intent behind your punches!
The skill must be powerful and fierce, and the fist must be expansive and dynamic in order to play a significant role in actual combat!
After a while, the old man finally finished practicing a set of exercises. He was covered in sweat, and steam was rising from his head. His granddaughter quickly handed him a towel.
The old man wiped his sweat, his face slightly regretful, and said, "I'm still a little short! Alas, it's been eight years. The Quasi-Saint realm seems like just one step away, but it's like an insurmountable gap between heaven and earth!"
That's right!
This old man was actually a Grandmaster at the Great Perfection stage! The strongest expert of our time!
