I became popular after my exes who were scumbags were on the romance show

Seeing the surprise on Shiran's face, Xie Zuobai twitched his fingers slightly, but there was a gentle smile on his face that hadn't changed for years:

"I've seen your two earlier works."

Shi Ran: "..."

She would like to thank Xie Zuobai for not directly mentioning the dark histories of "That Summer, The Wind Blows" and "The Domineering Concubine's Petty Husband".

Lin Muzhi helped Xie Zuobai to add at the right time: "Oh, isn't it "The Domineering Princess and Petty Husband"? At that time, I remember that many netizens posted emoji packs, and it became popular."

After finishing speaking, he didn't realize that the atmosphere was getting colder, and added: "I also watched a clip on the Internet, whether it's the plot or the actors, it's quite funny..."

Xie Zuobai's face became darker and darker when he saw it, he coughed lightly, and interrupted Lin Muzhi's words:

"Director, when will the actor who plays the scholar join the group?"

Shi Ran also looked at Lin Muzhi, saying that she still doesn't know who the leading actor she is about to "grab".

Lin Muzhi glanced at Shi Ran inadvertently, and said vaguely: "Look at the arrangement of the play, let's join the group this Friday or next week."

Just as Shi Ran wanted to ask who the actor was, the phone suddenly beeped and received a message.

From an unknown number.

"Go forward and never look back."

Shi Ran: "?"

Who is this?Did you send the wrong message?

Shi Ran pondered for a while, and replied, "Who are you?"

There was no more news from there.

"Baffling." Shi Ran muttered, but didn't take it to heart.

the other side.

In the dimly lit room, Jiang Lin stared at the only cell phone that was on, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Gu Huaisheng and Shi Ran were once together. He really didn't know anything about it. Even when he saw the discussion among netizens at first, he thought it was someone deliberately making fake news.

He specially asked someone to investigate this matter clearly, and wanted to help Shi Ran clarify it, but... investigated many photos of Shi Ran and Gu Huaisheng together.

The photos are very blurry, and the faces of the two people cannot be seen clearly, but it can be seen from the body language of the two people that they are in love.

fall in love.

It turned out that Shi Ran had already moved forward so long ago.

It's ridiculous that he even thought that Shi Ran's participation in "Limited Time Heartbeat" may be the same as him, with a trace of desire to see each other that he has never noticed...

It was because of Gu Huaisheng that he participated.

It turned out that he was the only one who was stuck in the same place and did not move forward.

He told her not to look back, but he turned back himself.

Jiang Lin raised the wine bottle and took another sip of wine.

Spicy alcohol poured into his throat, stimulating his senses, and his muddled consciousness seemed to be a little clearer.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened with a "snap", and the lights in the bedroom were brightly lit.

A well-maintained middle-aged lady frowned slightly when she saw Jiang Lin lying on the bed, a room full of alcohol, and a few empty wine bottles on the ground:

"Little Rin."

Jiang Lin looked at the lady, and said in a hoarse voice after being soaked in alcohol for a long time: "Mom."

Mother Jiang frowned and opened the curtains, and asked softly:

"I contacted your agent and he said that you have been staying at home for the past few days. What's the matter? Have you encountered any problems? Or are you too tired from work..."

Jiang's mother saw that Jiang Lin was silent and did not speak, and reached out to touch Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin avoided her hand directly, with a look of unwillingness to get close.

Jiang's mother's heart ached. If she hadn't been ignoring her son, she wouldn't have had such a relationship with her now. Even many things about him had to be known through the agent...

"If the entertainment industry is too tiring, why don't you just go home, the Jiang family's foundation still needs you to support it..." Mother Jiang said softly again, her tone very gentle.

Jiang Lin looked at Mother Jiang, and suddenly remembered something in a trance.

It was the first time he paid attention to Ye Tingwan, it seemed that it was because Ye Tingwan's voice was similar to his mother's.

From then on, he couldn't help looking at Ye Tingwan, and he wanted to see her and hear her voice more and more.

He thought this was what he liked.

Looking at it now, it's just a poor wretch who lacks love, trying to find some comfort in another person...

"What is this?" Mother Jiang was a little shocked when she saw a peace talisman on the table.

Didn't her son never believe in these gods and Buddhas?

Mother Jiang was about to pick it up and take a good look at it, but Jiang Lin stood up abruptly and picked up the amulet faster than Mother Jiang:

"do not move."

Mother Jiang was taken aback.

Jiang Lin tightly clutched the peace talisman in his hand.

This is the peace talisman he... secretly begged for Shi Ran.

No one knows, only he knows.

He doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but he also hopes that gods and Buddhas can protect Shi Ran, and his life will be smooth from now on, free from illness, worry, and disaster...

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Lin's appearance of treating the peace talisman as a treasure, and was a little dazed.

Is this really her son?

Jiang Lin has already come to his senses, he raised his eyes to look at Mother Jiang, his expression has returned to his previous indifference:

"Come on, besides caring about me, there should be other things, right?"

Otherwise, even if he died in this house, Mother Jiang might not find out.

Jiang's mother paused for a moment, and then said softly: "The day after tomorrow is the engagement banquet of the head of the Gu family. I know you are not interested in this, but many people of your age have already started to make connections with wealthy families..."

"No." Jiang Lin refused directly.

Mother Jiang frowned, and wanted to persuade her a few more words, but she finally sighed when she saw Jiang Lin started drinking like no one else was watching.

At this moment, Mother Jiang's phone rang suddenly.

"What? Something went wrong with the Foundation? But I still have something to do... Well, I'll go there now."

Jiang Lin listened to Jiang Mu's words, a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Lin, mother has something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Mother Jiang walked a few steps before looking back at Jiang Lin, "You are the only son of the Jiang family, and I still hope you can go to the Gu family's engagement banquet the day after tomorrow. "

After finishing speaking, Mother Jiang left in a hurry.

Jiang Lin silently stared at the wine bottle in his hand, and finally sneered.

He has never been loved well, so naturally he cannot learn how to love others.

-

Before Shi Ran went to bed, he received a message from Shi Hua's sister.

"Are you free the day after tomorrow? Come to have a meal? Come to my engagement banquet by the way."

In his tone, it seemed that he didn't take the matter of the engagement banquet to heart at all.

After Shi Ran received the information, he first asked Shi Yizhi cautiously.

Shi Yizhi's attitude towards this matter was also very calm: "It's up to you. Gu Huaiheng and Shihua's engagement banquet should be held twice, this time mainly to invite the man's Gu family's contacts in Wucheng, it doesn't matter if you go or not .”
