e closest, he remains tender towards her, very considerate of her feelings."Why didn't you leave" Shu Tinglan was surprised that he hadn't left like last time after finishing his work."My clothes are...Lu Yaoyao was video chatting with Yuan Binghuan at home, seeming to be arguing. Hearing the door open, she glanced at them briefly, her face flushed with anger. She turned away without paying attention and continued to be engrossed in the argument on the video call.

"Have you ever considered my feelings You know Song Keqiu and I don't get along, and yet you went to be the male lead for her. Do you know how her fans are mocking me" Lu Yaoyao started to feel wronged as she spoke, especially since her leg was still injured and Yuan Binghuan hadn't come to see her at all, making her even more upset.

Compared to her grievance, Yuan Binghuan was relatively calm: "Yaoyao, you're not a child anymore. This is my job."

"I know it's your job, and I've always supported your work. But Song Keqiu just won't do. She always diss me in public, calling me a vase, a little princess, someone who got where she is today only because of her family background. And every time she deliberately creates hype and spreads negative rumors about me. You know this."

"YoYo, that's your prejudice towards her. And a lot of it is media fabrication. You've been in the entertainment industry for several years now, you should know better." Yuan Binghuan didn't think what she said made sense. The truth and falsehood in the entertainment industry, if you care about it, you lose.

Lu Yaoyao heard that Yuan Binghuan's words implied protecting Song Keqiu, and her anger rose instantly. She stood up from the sofa without realizing her foot injury, and another wave of excruciating pain shot through her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gritted them back, refusing to argue with him anymore. She sounded domineering: "I don't care, I forbid you from collaborating with her to play the male and female lead roles. You have to cancel the collaboration immediately."

Yuan Binghuan: "Lu Yaoyao, not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and not everyone has the capital to be so willful."

Lu Yaoyao, upon hearing this, forgot the pain and grievance she felt. Her heart suddenly turned cold: "Even you think I got to where I am today because of connections You can't even see my hard work"

"Yuan Binghuan, you bastard!" Lu YaoYao was so angry her hands trembled, she wanted to hang up the video call immediately.

At that moment, Lu Kuo next to her snatched the phone from her hand. With a smile on his face, he politely looked at Yuan Binhui in the video, but his eyes were cold: "Is Shengyuan Film and Television the investor for your drama"

Yuan Binghuan's face turned pale: "What do you mean"

Lu Kuò: "It doesn't mean anything, just to tell you that you probably don't know that the largest shareholder of Shengyuan Film and Television is Tingjing Finance."

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he hung up the video call and threw his phone to Lu YaoYao, muttering angrily.

"You're such a coward! You act tough at home, but you can't handle anything outside. Stop crying like a baby."

"I didn't cry, I was angry. But are we really major shareholders of Shengyuan Film and Television" Lu Yao usually didn't bother with these things; someone else always took care of it for her, so she didn't want to waste brain cells on it.

"Can you bull** In an argument, it's not about posturing, it's about going straight for the jugular. You get me"

Lu Kuò was earnestly teaching her how to argue, Lu Yǎoyáo scoffed at him, Gu Ruǎnruǎn smiled beside them, secretly envying Lu Yǎoyáo for having such a loving brother.

Lu Yaoyao is indeed not good at arguing. She was pampered since she was a child and got whatever she wanted. Who dared to argue with her

"How did you get here"

Lu Kuo didn't answer, and walked away with the car keys.

Gu Ruiruan said: "This morning, I went to Gu Ruidong's place with Lawyer Shu. We happened to meet Lu Kuò, so he sent me back."

"My brother is quite a gentleman."

Gu Ruian recalled: "It seems to be Mr. Zhu, the husband of Lawyer Shu, who sent it to me."

"Zuo Yu'an He definitely wants to take advantage of this opportunity to run off with Lawyer Shu, so he thinks my brother is in the way and got rid of him." Lu Yaoyao saw through Zuo Yu'an.

"It should be so."

How did your conversation with Gu Ruandong go

Gu Ruanruan shook her head. "He refused to talk, and I only found out today that my grandfather had made a will. I'll discuss countermeasures with Lawyer Shu later."

As they were talking, Lu Yaoyao's phone rang again. It was Haojie calling: "Yaoyao, have you found the shoes and anklet from that day's event The brand contacted and asked about them."

"Hold on, let me give him a call." She had completely forgotten about this in the past few days. When Hao Jie brought it up, she remembered that she should call Gu Ruandong and ask.

I called, and his secretary Xiao Cai answered. As always, she gave the official response:

"Mr. Gu is in a meeting, I will let him know."

Before Lu Yaoyao could speak again, the call ended, leaving her laughing in disbelief. "Gu Ruandong's secretary is a voice assistant, isn't she A soulless responding machine."

Just joking, her phone rang again, this time it was Gu Ruandong calling back, his voice laced with a smile.

“Yao Yao, are you looking for me”

It was a normal question, but because he said it with a smile, it sounded flirty, almost like he was asking: "Do you miss me"

Lu Yao Yao's heart skipped a beat for no reason and asked, "I twisted my ankle before, did I leave my shoes with you"

"Shoes" He spoke as if he were smoking, the word "shoes" seeming to be accompanied by smoke, blurry and indistinct.

"It was the pair of high heels I wore in your office that day, with the diamonds on them. If they're not in your office, they must be in your car."

"Oh, that should have been thrown away by the cleaning staff." He took another drag of his cigarette, nonchalantly, still fiddling with the diamond ankle bracelet he had taken off her ankle that day. It glinted under the light from the table lamp.

"Did the janitor throw it away" Lu Yaoyao was incredulous. Were their company's janitors this bold

"Hmm."

"What about the anklet" She was in pain at the time, but she remembered that he had taken it off for her because he was afraid her foot was too swollen.

"Gone, can't find it." he said lightly.

Lu Yaoyao was helpless. She didn't doubt him, after all, someone like Gu Ruandong would find it strange to have these things in the office.

After hanging up the phone, she had to tell her agent Haojie, "I can't find my shoes or anklet. Ask the brand how much it costs, and I'll pay."

"How could it be missing Well, I've put it on the company's account." Sister Hao thought it was strange, but didn't ask further.

Lu Yaoyao quickly forgot about it, and she and Gu Ruiruan each sat on one side of the sofa, looking at each other, and suddenly spoke at the same time.

Lu Yao Yao: "I think I'm going to break up."

Gu Ruanruan: “I confessed today!”

Lu Yaoyao jumped up again in surprise, and then stepped on her foot. She was in so much pain that she almost cried.

"Did you confess your feelings to my brother, Lu Kuo"

"Well, I said, I'm going after him, and he better be prepared."

Lu Yao Yao laughed: "Isn't my brother super moved Let me tell you, he's been a licking dog for so many years, no one has ever confessed to him. You confessing to him, he definitely would be happy."

Gu Ruanruan was very calm: "No moved, he had a look of resistance on his face."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!wasn't nearly enough to recharge her batteries. 。When she came out of the shower, she saw Zhuo Yu'an was wearing headphones, talking on a work call while methodically helping her pack. He put back her...
