107 A Mysterious Identity
Hu Ya’s hand that was holding the chopsticks froze. She looked at Luo Ying and smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t mean it that way. After all, I said some unpleasant things. I hope you don’t take them to heart.”
Luo Ying ignored Hu Ya’s words and started to eat.
People like Hu Ya bullied the weak and feared the strong. If Luo Ying forgave her so easily, she might pop back up to annoy her in the future.
Since Luo Ying and Lu Zhao were ignoring her, Hu Ya put away her chopsticks dejectedly.
Because of Lu Yao’s matter, the old man was in a foul mood. He simply went through the motions and retired to his study early.
Many guests tactfully took their leave.
Lu Zhao sat in the car and held Luo Ying’s hand. “In the future, don’t hold back. You must keep me in the loop, understood?”
“I know.” Luo Ying slowly leaned on Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao’s broad shoulders gave her a sense of security.
Just a few days after the banquet, the branch where Lu He’s husband worked was closed down, and Lu He’s husband was fired.
Luo Ying sighed with emotion as she watched the news. Lu Zhao was as efficient as he was ruthless.
She lay on the bed and ate some snacks while reading the news on her phone.
The season’s filming of Music Center was almost done, and she could finally take a short vacation.
After that, she was going to hire more key individuals. By the time Music Center was released, her studio would almost be complete. Then, she could leave Lin Su’s company and draw a clear line with that b*stard.
She was watching a recently released TV series. As she lazily scrolled through the news, her hand suddenly stopped.
The person on the news was none other than Jin Shi, the man whom Lu Yao had been pestering.
Oddly, Jin Shi looked exactly like her third brother.
Red hair, sharp eyes, and a temperament that repelled strangers.
Luo Ying was shocked.
Was this man really her third brother?
Luo Ying dug deeper and read on.
Jin Shi used to be one of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry. His career kicked off during a talent show. He was an independent artist with an annual income of tens of millions of dollars.
A small advertisement endorsement with him was already worth a few million.
However, more than a year ago, he seemed to have temporarily left the entertainment industry to settle some family matters. But now, he had announced his comeback.
Some people speculated that this top celebrity had concealed his identity and become a racer. After all, a mysterious red-haired player had won the world motorcycle cross-country race that had recently ended.
Luo Ying called Chi Tong’s phone to inquire about him.
“Jin Shi?” Chi Tong found it a little odd. “He is indeed rather popular, but the female stars that he worked with in the past often suffer from online abuse because of the various scandals surrounding him. You’d take a big risk working with him.”
“No, no, no. It’s not about that. I think he’s a good actor. Moreover, he’s an independent artist and is not attached to any studios. I was thinking…” Before Luo Ying could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Chi Tong.
“Well, Jin Shi’s family is very rich, and he’s actually with the best studio in the city. There is no way we can offer him anything, but you might be able to sign up as an artist in his studio.”
Luo Ying’s eyes lit up. This could work. After all, as long as she could meet Jin Shi, she could confirm whether this person was her third brother.
“How about this? There’s a new movie called ‘Dancing Shoes and Summer’. It’s Director Cheng Yang’s new movie. There’s a role for you there. It’s a young girl. She doesn’t have many scenes, but we can try to get her. This movie is Jin Shi’s comeback feature, so we can use this to get in touch with him.”
“Dancing Shoes and Summer”?
If Luo Ying remembered correctly, this movie was Su Ran’s breakout role. Su Ran played the role of the male lead’s girlfriend in the movie, and she skyrocketed to popularity.
However, in the original novel, the male lead was played by Lin Su. Why was it Jin Shi now?
The world had changed.
Luo Ying looked at the man on the screen and fell into deep thought.
