Lin Man was shocked for a moment, and immediately picked up her phone to check. She found that her bank card had been suspended by Pei Yan at some point, and the money she spent on the meal just now was... her own money!

The pitiful pay for an unknown little actor on the 18th line!

Lin Man stepped forward and tore the newspaper from the man's hand, "Pei Yan, what do you mean!"

She just couldn't understand. Pei Yan never came home before, and he hardly spoke to her all year round. What happened to him now? He was acting like crazy every day!

He can no longer go home more often and be a qualified ATM like before.

Pei Yan casually threw the newspaper aside and looked at Lin Man with an extremely strange calmness.

They looked at each other in silence, the silence seemed to have stopped in time.

Lin Man's heart beat faster when she was stared at by Pei Yan's cold eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that? I've already told you that..."

He was interrupted by the man's solemn voice halfway through his words, and a cold light flashed in Pei Yan's eyes.

"Lin Man, did I ever tell you to stay away from Si Lianghua? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

It was this incident again. Lin Man frowned slightly, and her face unconsciously flushed with anger.

"Yes, you did, but so what? I don't want to hear it."

She is an independent person, not Pei Yan's appendage! She has the right to freely choose her friends.

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man's righteous look, his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, as if he was laughing out of anger.

"If you don't want to hear it, then what do you want to hear? Do you want to hear Si Lianghua's fiancée tell you to stay away from him?"

Pei Yan's words were so powerful that they reached Lin Man's ears.

He threw the documents on the table at Lin Man's feet, and a newspaper from three years ago fell out of the file bag!

The photo in the center of the yellowed newspaper is a photo of Si Lianghua and a woman.

Lin Man was thinking a lot, but she didn't show it on her face. She spoke in a calm tone, shook the newspaper, picked it up, and threw it back on Pei Yan's desk.

"Why are you telling me all this? I've already said that Si Lianghua and I are just friends. Does that mean I can't make friends just because I have a fiancée? Just like Mr. Pei, who has a wife but still has to take care of female classmates outside, what did I say?"

Pei Yan sneered, leaning back on the sofa and speaking in a casual tone.

"Being sharp-tongued will do you no good. Women should be obedient so that they will be loved by others."

Lin Man scoffed at Pei Yan's words. In the past, she waited for him at home every day, cooked meals for him, and was obedient and sensible. She knew he was busy with work and didn't want to cause him any trouble, and he didn't seem to love her much either.

"President Pei, please don't worry about my affairs."

He still focused his attention on Gan Tian, ​​hoping that the lovers would get married as soon as possible so that she could take the money and leave earlier.

Pei Yan frowned, looking at the stubborn Lin Man, and seemed to have lost his patience.

"Lin Man, dancing with fire will backfire. This is a reminder and a warning. If you do anything that damages the reputation of the Pei family, I don't mind clearing the door myself."

Lin Man found it a little funny. Cleaning up the house?

"Boss Pei, I've said it many times. I'm not you. I won't cheat on you during marriage. As for cleaning up the mess, Boss Pei is worried that I'll affect the reputation of the Pei Group. Why don't you divorce me early and make a public announcement in the newspaper? Isn't that a good idea?"

Pei Yan narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and a hint of danger slid across his cold eyes. Does this woman want a divorce so much?

"Divorce so you can find Si Lianghua? Let me, Pei Yan, become the laughing stock of the entire Hai City? Don't even think about it!"

Pei Yan didn't show it on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart. This woman actually made up a lot of nonsense just to get a divorce. When did he cheat on her during marriage? Who did he touch?

It was this stupid woman who was now eager to put the blame on Pei Yan!

Lin Man was also choked by Pei Yan's anger. What on earth was he pretending to be? In his previous life, he had used threats and bribes to divorce her, even if it meant both of them would suffer. He didn't care about media reviews at all, and his actions were swift and resolute. In this life, he didn't know why he was so crazy and acted like a little woman, caring about... reviews?

.....

After the two parted unhappily, Lin Man returned to the set and Pei Yan never returned home.

The previous female director of the crew was replaced by a man named Hu. The new director Hu was extremely polite to Gan Tian and arranged an independent dressing room and a makeup artist exclusively for her. Lin Man lined up in front of the dressing room, and Gan Tian only needed to wake up and notify the makeup artist to come to her house to do her makeup.

There were many dangerous close-up actions. In the past, directors required each leading actor to do them themselves, but now the director has arranged a stunt double for Gan Tian. Many dangerous fighting scenes were performed by Lin Man and the stunt double. Gan Tian has not been seen for a long time.

Lin Man picked up her sword without any emotion. She thought it was good this way. At least the new stuntman was very talented and would not let her run with him over and over again in the hot weather.

To be fair, Pei Yan did protect Gan Tian very well. This kind of rights and status is something Zhao Yao could never give him in his lifetime.

In her previous life, Lin Man had a clear distinction between love and hate, and dared to love and hate. She loved Pei Yan, so she refused to let go.

But Lin Man knows in this life that to someone who doesn't love you, the love you give is just a burden, a kind of garbage that can be discarded at any time. Someone who doesn't love you, just doesn't love you.

Lin Man would film on the set during the day and drive back to Yuanshan Villa at night. If the filming went on too late, she would find a hotel nearby to stay.

Ever since she knew Si Lianghua had a fiancée, she began to deliberately keep her distance from Si Lianghua, not meeting him privately unless necessary. Even if they met, there would always be a third person present. Over time, Si Lianghua also realized that something was wrong.

Lin Man packed her lunch and was about to leave, but Si Lianghua suddenly came forward and held her hand. A hint of anxiety flashed across his gentle eyes. He frowned his gentle and handsome brows and asked Lin Man gently.

"Manman, what happened?"

Lin Man was startled, and calmly withdrew her wrist, turned around and looked at Si Lianghua with a puzzled smile.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

When Si Lianghua saw Lin Man like this, the sense of urgency in his brows did not decrease, and his gentle brows were frowned.

"Manman, you can't hide it from me. You've been avoiding me... lately."

He didn't ask Lin Man why she was avoiding him. He only asked her if something happened to her and if he could help her.

Helplessness was evident between his gentle brows. He originally wanted to ask if it was related to him, but halfway through his words, Si Lianghua's heart choked and he had no right to continue.

Lin Man listened to Si Lianghua's words, smiled and began to explain, her tone bright and cheerful.

"Nothing happened. I got an internship certificate from school. Now I have to go back and forth between the crew and home."

He stared into her eyes, clenched his clenched hands tightly, suppressed the ups and downs of his chest, and said with a bit of bitterness: "Then why... do you avoid me."

Lin Man twisted her half-wet wrinkled sleeves, looked up at Si Lianghua and said helplessly: "How could it be, it's just that I have a lot of scenes recently, and I'm busy filming and memorizing lines. The schedule is a bit tight, so I deliberately avoided you."

"Look, I just finished work and my sleeves are wet."
