Do You Still Hate Her? 03 – Shang Lu is Jiang Yi’s fiancée

Song Zeqian, holding a glass of water, frowned and looked at the three people standing in the hallway, obviously not understanding why they were standing there.

That’s what he thought, and that’s what he asked.

Ning Lin said that she was ready and asked Shang Lu to help her record the video, so she could complete Song Zeqian’s task right away.

Song Zeqian walked over and said, “Let’s get started then.”

Shang Lu went to help Ning Lin record the video, and Ye Lu followed for some reason.

Shang Lu enjoys acting, and Ning Lin has good acting skills and popularity in the entertainment industry. Although the two have worked together before, they have never had any direct scenes together. Shang Lu was curious about how well Ning Lin’s acting skills have developed.

Ning Lin did not disappoint Shang Lu. Her acting skills were indeed good, especially in terms of emotional outbursts, and she had a strong sense of conviction in this type of environment.

The plot she designed was also simple and easy to understand. A wealthy lady encounters bandits on the road, and she fights to the death with a long sword. Her hand shakes with unfamiliarity as she grips the sword, but she finally musters the courage to strike when she sees the bandits mistreating others. After killing someone, she breaks down in tears.

The recording was completed.

However, Song Zeqian’s evaluation was, “It’s passable, but it’s too exaggerated, and the transformation is too abrupt.”

Nevertheless, in the entertainment industry, there are not many people who can make Song Zeqian say “it’s passable,” so it has already proved that Ning Lin’s acting skills are indeed good.

Ning Lin’s fans in the barrage were also proud of her, and some people were moved by her performance.

[Wuwuwu, Ning Lin is so amazing! She has never been lacking in acting skills!]

[Can other traffic celebrities learn from Ning Lin? This is what a good acting is, right?]

[What about the ones on the scene? Can they learn from her? @Shang Lu @Lin Yanyan]

However, there were also people who spoke up for Shang Lu.

[Actually, I think Shang Lu’s acting skill is not bad.]

[I agree with the previous comment. I watched several of her dramas when she just debuted, and I didn’t know who she was then, but I remembered her because she was pretty.]

But there were also ridicules.

[I also know when she just debuted, but what has Shang Lu been acting in these years… it’s just hard on the eyes]

[But I don’t think it’s a problem with Shang Lu’s acting. It’s mainly because those characters’ are too poorly written.]

Although it was originally Ning Lin’s performance, the barrage suddenly began arguing about Shang Lu’s acting skills.

Ning Lin smiled at Shang Lu and asked, “Do you want to try? I can also help you with the video recording.”

“This is not my task,” Shang Lu directly refused, and then said, “Unless you also have a double suicide card.”

Naturally, Ning Lin didn’t have one.

But she still pretended not to understand Shang Lu’s refusal, walked towards Shang Lu with the long sword in hand, and said, “Just give it a try—”

Before she could finish speaking, she was tripped by a stool on the ground and fell forward uncontrollably, and the sword naturally slipped from her hand.

Ning Lin looked at Shang Lu in horror, completely unexpected that such an accident would happen.

Because at this moment, the sword was flying towards Shang Lu’s direction.

However, Shang Lu’s face did not show any panic. She stood in place and caught the sword. Her thumb and index finger pinched the sword handle, and the next second, the long sword did not leave her hand but flew in the air, drawing a very beautiful arc. She performed a set of swordplay with clean and neat movements, carrying a powerful sense of beauty.

Ye Lu widened his eyes and said, “Wow.”

And Song Zeqian also took off his sunglasses for the second time in this variety show, still because of Shang Lu.

The man’s narrow eyes were somewhat sharp, but at this moment he squinted slightly, looking at the place where Shang Lu’s wrist exerted force, somewhat incredulously. He was silent for a few seconds and asked, “Have you practiced this specifically?”

Shang Lu put the long sword aside and answered succinctly, “I learned for a few months for a role requirement.”

But it’s been too long since she practiced it, so she was quite rusty.

The barrage was in shock at this moment, and the viewers in the live broadcast room were also attracted by Shang Lu’s sword dance, shifting from praising Ning Lin’s acting to admiring Shang Lu’s skills.

[!!!]

[Oh my god, Shang Lu is so f*cking handsome! I urgently need some first aid!]

[Can any costume drama crew take a look at Shang Lu! Her martial arts skills are so good that she doesn’t need a stunt double! My love for Shang Lu starts from this moment!]

[I’ve run out of blood, and now I just want to say to Shang Lu—

Hi, wife! Marry me!]

But some people still felt lingering fear.

[That sword just now was aimed straight at Shang Lu. If Shang Lu hadn’t reacted quickly and happened to have practiced, they might have been injured.]

[Ning Lin is really going too far.]

[I suddenly feel that Ning Lin was a bit strange. Although she seemed gentle and kind, she seemed unable to understand human words. Shang Lu clearly rejected her just now.]

Of course, there were also fans of Ning Lin who defended her.

[Our Ning Lin is just a kind and enthusiastic person. She didn’t expect Shang Lu to be so ungrateful.]

After standing up from the ground and rubbing her sore knee, Ning Lin knew she was at fault and quickly apologized to Shang Lu, saying it was an accident.

Shang Lu naturally knew that it was an accident. Ning Lin wouldn’t openly try to harm her in a live broadcast. So she waved her hand and said to forget it.

But she didn’t want to stay with Ning Lin any longer and went straight back to her room.

Although it was a coincidence that Shang Lu showed off her skills, thinking about how the iron sword flew towards her just now made Ning Lin feel a bit scared, so Ning Lin didn’t want to stop her.

Watching Shang Lu and Ye Lu go upstairs together, Ning Lin’s face revealed a bit of self-blame. She wanted to say something to Song Zeqian, but her words got stuck in her throat.

Because at this moment, Song Zeqian was turning the pair of sunglasses in his hand, his gaze also following Shang Lu’s back.

And when Shang Lu’s figure disappeared behind the door, Song Zeqian still didn’t notice that Ning Lin was looking at him, but looked at the sword on the sofa next to him, seeming to be lost in thought.

After a while, he ignored Ning Lin’s presence and went upstairs with the sword in his hand.

Ning Lin pursed her lips, and her hand, hanging by her side, clenched tightly.

Why? Why is everything different from what she planned?

She worked so hard and presented the best performance to Song Zeqian, but in the end, Song Zeqian was attracted by the irrelevant stunts of Shang Lu?

It’s too absurd.

It’s too unfair to her.

After participating in this variety show recording, Ning Lin felt that everything in life was not as smooth as before, and the development of many things deviated from her plans. However, she could only keep telling herself to calm down and not to panic.

11 o’clock.

Because there were no phones during the variety show recording, except for Lin Yanyan who had not finished writing her review, everyone else rarely went to bed early and fell asleep.

The hot search for the rose manor is still hanging high online, and another more explosive news has been exposed.

#Shang_Lu_And_Jiang_Yi_Enter_The_Same_Villa# quickly climbed to the top of the hot search, followed by the word “Explosive.”

The paparazzi released a short 30-second video. In the video, Jiang Yi entered the villa first, and soon Shang Lu arrived and went in.

But even this short video clip is enough to prove the authenticity of the incident.

Compared to whether there is a conflict between Shang Lu and Ning Lin in the variety show, or who the owner of the rose manor is, netizens are more interested in explosive rumors like love affairs. The relationship between Shang Lu, Jiang Yi, and Ning Lin has also piqued everyone’s interest.

[What’s going on here? Shang Lu and Jiang Yi? What about Ning Lin?]

[Damn, I just finished watching the live broadcast of ‘The Most Hated Her and Him’ today, and now I’m completely lost in the wind.]

Naturally, the many LinJiang CP fans refuse to believe that Shang Lu and Jiang Yi have any relationship. They feel very angry and attribute this matter as Shang Lu’s one-sided pursuit, and quickly start to criticize in the comments.

[In terms of timing, it was Jiang Yi who entered first. I guess this should be Jiang Yi’s house. Shang Lu wouldn’t know Jiang Yi’s address and come here on her own, would she? It’s disgusting to even think about it.]

[Shang Lu is shameless to this extent? It’s a pity that you brought it upon yourself. Although Jiang Yi bought the rose manor for Ning Lin, you’re the one who’s embarrassing yourself.]

[A person should have a moral bottom line, especially a public figure. If it’s true, then it’s really shameful.]

The production team members were stunned after seeing the hot search at night and held an emergency meeting.

They invited Ning Lin to be a guest on this episode of the variety show, and now the news about Shang Lu and Jiang Yi was exposed. Following the rose manor’s hot search, the online hype was even more unbelievable.

So the director made a quick decision and said, “Let’s keep this a secret for now, don’t let the guests know, it can’t affect our normal program recording.”

Later, they would find the perfect opportunity to “accidentally” bring up this incident and show netizens the footage they most wanted to see— the reactions of Shang Lu and Ning Lin. If the two could respond to the incident, the show’s popularity would definitely increase explosively!
