Ji Yu could not hide his eagerness, but Tong Su became increasingly slow.
"Since nothing happened, why the rush? We didn't even get any photos taken. The hype will die down on its own soon enough."
Ji Yu was even more anxious and angry. He suppressed his irritation and forced a smile to please Tong Su.
"Tongsu, you don't know, even though I'm a top-tier male star now, the competition is fierce. Right now, Director Zhang's new political intrigue drama, 'The Emperor,' is casting for the male lead! Director Zhang has won an Oscar, and he and his wife are very loving; he values an actor's character highly. Because of those rumors accusing me of cheating and having an affair, even my sure-fire audition is no longer guaranteed. If I land this male lead role, it will be a huge boost to my career!"
Lan Shu'er watched as Ji Yu fawned over Tong Su, his fingernails hidden under his sleeves almost tearing the lining apart. She remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was burning with hatred.
Why does Xi Tongsu always have to be one step ahead of her in everything?
She had a better background and better looks than her. She finally managed to seduce Xi Tongsu's man into bed and thought she had won. But Ji Yu turned around and pushed her away, and went back to pleasing Xi Tongsu!
Lan Shuer was unaware that in the original storyline, the reason Ji Yu so readily dumped Xi Tongsu was because he had secured the male lead role, significantly boosting his status, making Xi Tongsu less important.
But now, Tong Su neither softened her heart and went on Weibo to clarify the rumors when Lan Shuer cried, nor did she spend money to suppress the trending topic. As a result, Director Zhang heard the rumors, was dissatisfied with Ji Yu, and wanted to re-examine the role.
Ji Yu then panicked.
"Tongsu, you can't not help me! I'm your fiancé, I love you, and I'm willing to give anything for you!"
Ji Yu poured out a torrent of sweet nothings as if they were free.
In truth, neither Xi Tongsu nor Lan Shuer was as important as his career.
He pursued Xi Tongsu because of his family background and the resources he could utilize;
He slept with Lan Shu'er for her beauty and the thrill of an affair.
Having a woman is certainly the icing on the cake, but if the cake is gone, what else can be added?
Ji Yu brought over a glass of water and carefully approached Tong Su.
"Tongsu, I swear, I will absolutely keep myself pure from now on and will never spread rumors again! I love you so much, you won't abandon me, will you?"
Tong Su looked at his hand holding the cup, and the thought of how that hand had been intimate with Lan Shu'er in bed just a few days ago made her feel nauseous.
She dodged aside and moved away from Ji Yu.
I've had enough of these two drama queens' singing, recitation, acting, and fighting skills.
She said coldly, "There's a fashion gala in a few days, and the media will be there. I'll chat with them for a bit then. Alright, I'm a little tired, you can go now."
That's the advantage of being a rich girl.
If you don't want to see someone, just kick them out. You can do whatever you want without worrying about the consequences.
Cool!
Ji Yu couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious.
What's wrong with Xi Tongsu? Doesn't she love him very much and would give everything for him?
When he first mentioned how difficult it was to audition, shouldn't Xi Tongsu have immediately agreed to help him find connections and secure the role?
She only said she wanted to talk to the media; what could she possibly talk about?
She should immediately suggest taking a close-up selfie with him and then posting it on Weibo. That would be the best way to clarify the rumors about him!
Ji Yu was both puzzled and dissatisfied, but he dared not say it. He could only feel resentful inside, but on the surface he was affectionate and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, you rest first. We'll walk the red carpet together at the charity gala. I'll pick you up to get your hair and makeup done."
