Do You Still Hate Her? 13 – You, walking the dog, just passing by?
In the evening, Zhai Yue Liang sat cross-legged on the sofa at home, holding her phone and happily browsing the trending topics.
Everything that happened tonight was incredibly amusing, especially the dramatic ending that made her unable to stop laughing.
But most importantly—
Shang Lu looked exceptionally beautiful today! The makeup done by the crew was also exquisite!
Zhai Yue Liang immediately took a screenshot, intending to study the makeup in detail later, but then she received a call from her boyfriend.
Although they had already registered their marriage, Zhai Yue Liang still didn’t consider him her husband until they had a proper wedding ceremony.
Her boyfriend spoke on the other end, saying, “I’ve picked up my cousin, and we’re about to arrive home.”
Today was the day Zhai Yue Liang and her boyfriend had agreed upon for him to bring his cousin, with whom he had a close relationship since childhood, to meet her.
Zhai Yue Liang was actually a bit nervous because she knew her boyfriend had a strained relationship with his family, but he was particularly close to this cousin. So, she attached great importance to their first meeting. After all, it was her first time meeting her boyfriend’s family.
Zhai Yue Liang quickly changed into a gentle-looking dress and asked the housekeeper aunties to bring the prepared dishes to the table, giving them all a day off.
Quickly, the doorbell rang.
The door opened, and Zhai Yue Liang revealed a gentle smile, saying, “Darling, you’re back. And please come in too, Little Sister…”
Before Dai Yue Liang could finish her sentence, her smile froze completely on her face as she saw the short-haired girl standing beside her boyfriend.
Immediately, she took a step back, went straight to the table to find her phone, and opened Weibo to start searching.
Then, holding her phone, Zhai Yue Liang looked at the girl standing next to her boyfriend and let out a cold laugh. Through gritted teeth, she asked, “Sweetie, Donut?”
Zhai Yue Liang never expected that her boyfriend’s sister would turn out to be a LinJiang CP fan who had appeared on a show and provoked Shang Lu.
In her mind, there were only three words now:
—What a disaster!
Zhai Yue Liang’s boyfriend had yet to realize the seriousness of the situation and said, “Donut? Do you want to eat a donut? I’ll go buy it now. You can have something to eat with my cousin first…”
But as soon as he turned around, he saw his sister already with red eyes.
Zhai Yue Liang’s boyfriend: “???”
What’s going on?
Seeing his family member, his girlfriend seemed to be angry!
Zhai Yue Liang was about to educate this person in front of her, who was well-known for being a LinJiang CP fan and had the audacity to bully Shang Lu, but when she saw the teary-eyed expression of the other person, she suddenly felt a bit at a loss.
The next moment, Sweetie Donut, with tears streaming down her face, reached out to Zhai Yue Liang and said, “Wuwuwu, Sister-in-law, what you said online was right. They are not true love, and indeed not good people. I’m devastated, wuwuwu…”
Zhai Yue Liang’s boyfriend : “?”
Zhai Yue Liang : “???”
The cute little sister directly showed weakness and called her Sister-in-law. Zhai Yue Liang’s heart instantly softened, and she forgot all about educating Sweetie Donut properly. She hugged and comforted Sweetie Donut.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Who hasn’t loved a few scumbags when they were young? You’ve realized it in time, and it’s not your fault.
“Alright, stop crying now. Come on, join Shang Lu’s fan group. The people there are very welcoming! Don’t worry, with Sister-in-law around, they won’t exclude you!
“I promise you, Little Sister-in-law, Shang Lu has so many merits. She’s not only beautiful, but also beautiful and beautiful1. Moreover, the sisters in our fan group are all sweet-tongued and pleasant to talk to. I really like it here!”
Meanwhile, at the scene where everything happened.
After Jiang Yi left, a single glance from Chi Yan made the media personnel hesitant to take any more photos. After all, today’s news was already sensational enough, and they didn’t need to offend the Chi family. So they dispersed in a rush.
Chi Yan handed the dog over to his assistant and offered to drive Shang Lu home.
Shang Lu looked at him suspiciously and asked, “You, walking the dog, happened to pass by?”
“Yeah,” Chi Yan replied nonchalantly.
Shang Lu nodded in agreement and said, “Walking the dog not only involves bringing the dog along but also a car and an assistant. It’s quite comprehensive, Mr. Chi. Is the greenery near your home not sufficient for your dog?”
Since Shang Lu had brought up the topic, Chi Yan coughed twice and reluctantly admitted, “I heard he was coming, so I came to take a look.”
Shang Lu was slightly stunned, seemingly not understanding the connection between these two things. Her mouth moved faster than her brain as she asked, “Are you here to find Jiang Yi?”
Chi Yan : “…?”
Chi Yan seemed amused by her peculiar train of thought and asked, “Why would I look for him?”
Shang Lu asked him, “Aren’t you two friends?”
A hint of disdain appeared in Chi Yan’s eyes as he replied, “I haven’t had as much contact with him in all these years as you’ve had in a month. What kind of friends are we?”
Chi Yan’s response shocked Shanglu, and she said, “I remember you two were inseparable in high school.”
“Is that so? I don’t remember very well. Maybe I realized after becoming an adult that we’re not on the same path.” Chi Yan waved his hand with an indifferent expression, showing that he wasn’t too concerned about matters related to Jiang Yi. He then urged, “Young Lady, even though the reporters have left, there might still be someone from the crew hiding somewhere. Let’s get in the car and talk.”
The unexpected revelation that Chi Yan and Jiang Yi were not close made Shang Lu forget her initial question.
However, at the same time, Shang Lu couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved.
If Chi Yan and Jiang Yi are not friends,
then Chi Yan will be, and only be, her friend.
The next morning, Shang Lu arrived at SN’s company.
SN’s manager had extended an invitation to Meng Zhichuan on behalf of Yu Su, stating that they needed a female lead for the MV of a new song written by Yu Su, and Shang Lu was their top choice.
It’s important to note that SN’s new songs always generate high traffic, so this was a great opportunity. And, of course, the person inviting her was none other than Yu Su!
Naturally, Shang Lu was very interested and arrived at SN’s company early in the morning.
Yu Su sang the song to her, and Shang Lu was so captivated that she almost had her face in her hands—it was just too beautiful!
However, when Yu Su told Shang Lu that the male lead for the song’s MV would be Ye Lu, Shang Lu’s face fell.
Shang Lu didn’t quite accept it and asked, “Can we change the male lead?”
Sensing the disdain in Shang Lu’s words, Ye Lu crossed his arms and looked at her, questioning, “Who do you want to replace? Xia Yuan?”
“Wrong,” Shang Lu shook her head and looked at Yu Su, saying, “I think you’re handsome, and this is your song. Wouldn’t it be better if you did it yourself?”
“It’s arranged by the company,” Yu Su replied. He smiled and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Shang Lu immediately understood.
Apart from Xia Yuan, Ye Lu was the most popular member of the SN group, and considering their collaboration in the variety show, it would generate more buzz if she and Ye Lu appeared together in the MV.
Just at that moment, the door suddenly swung open from the outside.
As if on cue, Xia Yuan walked in with a faint smile on her face and asked, “The staff told me that Sister Shang Lu is here. I couldn’t believe it.”
Yu Su lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Xia Yuan spoke and walked up to Shang Lu. He extended a hand towards her and said, “Long time no see.”
“Long time no see,” Shang Lu politely shook hands with Xia Yuan, but at the same time, she slightly pushed her feet against the ground, moving her chair backward to create some distance between them.
Ye Lu then asked, “Weren’t you supposed to be working today? Why are you still at the office? Did you make the magazine wait again?”
“Impossible,” Xia Yuan naturally denied it and said, “I just came to take a look. I’ll be going there right away.”
As Xia Yuan spoke, he looked at Yu Su directly in front of Shang Lu and asked, “I heard that the company originally wanted me to collaborate with Sister Shang Lu for this MV. How did it end up being Ye Lu?”
His voice carried a smile, as if he casually asked about this matter.
