After being forced to marry into a wealthy family, I became popular in the entertainment industry

It was a long-lost cloudy day, thick clouds covered the sun, and the yard was silent in the early morning. In response to the weather outside, the atmosphere in the house seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Because the host was in a bad mood, the servants were more careful in their actions, for fear of causing trouble.

For some reason, there were more security guards than before. They stood up straight, with a tense expression on their faces, as if they had received orders and were guarding against something.

Soon, a boy in casual clothes came out of the room, stopped the servants' greetings, went up the stairs familiarly, and knocked lightly on a door.

A voice came through the door: "Who?"

"It's me, Xi Jin."

The boy raised his voice.

The people inside stopped talking, but soon, the door slowly opened.

Xi Jin then walked in, and first smiled at the people in the room, looking very cute and cute: "Brother."

It's very strange that this room gives people a feeling of simplicity and over-simplification. Although the furniture and objects are all available, nothing belongs to the owner of the room. The atmosphere of life is very light, as if the residents are ready to move out at any time It's like getting ready.

Lu Chenzhi responded lightly, without expressing too much, but turned around and went back to put away the only thing on the table—the thing was placed in a convenient position, as if it was still in his hand just now.

Xi Jin tilted her head, her eyes fell on it, and she looked a little curious: "Movie discs? I don't think I've seen them much. Brother, why do you still use this?"

What are you looking for when you are free and looking through an old disc?

"It's something from a long time ago." Lu Chenzhi didn't seem to want to say more, put the disc back into the box, then carefully put it in the drawer, turned his head, and asked straight to the point, "What do you want from me? "

Although they are called "brothers", the two of them are not really related by blood.Xi Jin is another child who was hugged wrongly. Half a month ago, they were strangers to each other, and the current relationship is not even considered familiar.

What's more, after getting along for a while, it's not that Lu Chenzhi can't feel whether he is sincere or not, and has no interest in playing the appearance of being a brother and friend with him, so he just goes straight to the point.

"Actually, it's nothing." Xi Jin looked very understanding, and her voice was a little worried, "Brother, did you quarrel with your father last night? I heard from the security guard that you are not allowed to go out today...isn't it Because of the marriage?"

He mentioned it lightly and deftly, as if he really knew little about what happened yesterday, with a vague sense of superiority from being out of it.

Lu Chenzhi's feeling is not wrong, Xi Jin really doesn't like him, not at all.

He hated the arrival of this person and turned himself into a "counterfeit", and even more hated that face that showed no expression to anyone from the beginning to the end. He got everything easily, but nothing seemed to be reflected in his eyes , It really makes people feel extremely unpleasant, and makes people want to break that layer of camouflage with all their strength, just to see him panicked.

Lu Chenzhi gave a faint "hmm".

"Oh, how could you talk to Dad like that directly? Of course he will be angry." Xi Jin sighed, "But you don't have to be too surprised about the marriage. In fact, Dad married the Lin family before you came back. I have an idea, but it is still not finalized.”

"It's just that marriage is so important. Now that Dad's attitude is so clear, since both parties have made a decision, there must be no room for maneuver this time."

He looked at Lu Chenzhi, blinked his eyes, and seemed to empathize with emotion.

Lu Chenzhi picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

Xi Jin didn't care that no one answered, and continued: "Looking at it this way, it's very likely that you will get engaged after a while. Are you nervous and a little reluctant now? Actually, I can understand you too. When I came back, I thought I was in the same mood when I was going to marry the Lin family, after all, Lin Fei and Uncle Lin—”

When he said this, he paused suddenly, then turned his head, smiled slightly, with an apology on his face.

"I almost forgot, don't you know this?"

"Yeah, I don't know yet." Lu Chenzhi put down his cup, and said in a neutral tone, "It seems that I will trouble you to continue."

"Actually, there is nothing to say about this. After all, many people in the circle know it well."

The word "in the circle" was a bit heavy, and the smile on Xi Jin's face deepened.

He was indeed hypocritical, so he didn't care about that much. He came here today just to take the opportunity to make Lu Chenzhi feel uncomfortable.

"The situation of the Lin family is actually a bit complicated. Lin Fei's mother passed away a long time ago, and he has a bad relationship with Uncle Lin. Although he is the only child in the Lin family, almost everyone knows that Uncle Lin has a relationship outside. An illegitimate child who is only a few years younger than Lin Fei—so Lin Fei has not been assigned to the company until now, and it is estimated that he will not inherit the Lin family in the future, and his status may be a bit embarrassing."

"In short, if you go to Lin's house, life will probably be difficult... Fortunately, after I refused at the time, my parents never mentioned this matter again. Who knew that things would change so quickly. Once you come back, brother, this matter It's settled."

Xi Jin said seemingly unintentionally: "Why are parents so anxious, they can consider my thoughts, but don't consider yours? I don't even think about it. My brother must have had a hard time living outside alone for more than ten years. I grew up in an orphanage, I guess I suffered a lot, and I didn't have enough to eat or wear warm..."

Although the words are short, they can make people think about it, with thick malice.

Lu Chenzhi looked at the smile on the corner of Xi Jin's mouth, frowned slightly, and his expression finally fluctuated a little.

He has always been indifferent to this kind of provocation, but these low-level and deliberate provocations happened one after another these days, which finally made him feel a little bored.

There are some birds chirping outside the window, which is very lively, which makes the room deserted.After finishing her speech, Xi Jin picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, feeling a little pleased.

Now, he must not be able to maintain that calm mask, right?

The room was silent for a while, and just when Xi Jin felt that he had won a complete victory, a faint sneer suddenly came from his ear, the sound was not loud, but it was very clear.

Xi Jin's expression froze, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the sound

It happened to meet Lu Chenzhi's eyes.

Xi Jin had always thought that Lu Chenzhi seemed indifferent before, but in fact he was just pretending to be calm to cover up his cowardice. It was only now that he realized that when he was really offended, his reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

It was by no means the dejected eyes of a loser. On the contrary, those peach blossom eyes that seemed to be affectionate and ruthless were extraordinarily sharp and sharp at this time, as if some kind of animal finally showed its claws, with an aggressive and biting coldness. .

While making people have nowhere to hide, a kind of contemptuous anger was uncontrollably ignited.

He finally couldn't pretend anymore, and said sharply, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Lu Chenzhi put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes were cold, and he said each word slowly and clearly, "It's only because of jealousy that losers like to show off in front of others to seek self-comfort. I saw it, It’s just a little funny.”

"you!"

"Loser", "jealousy" and "self-comfort" were like a knife, stabbing Xi Jin's heart fiercely.

These are the words he can't listen to the most right now. The combination of the scene made him think of the gap in his own identity and stepped on his thunder point.

There was a loud "snap" when the table was slapped!

Xi Jin was completely furious and stood up all of a sudden, but before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door again.

Then, before everyone could react, they were slowly pulled away.

Mrs. Xi walked in, saw the scene in the room, and frowned slightly: "Xiao Jin, what are you doing?"

As if time had pressed the pause button, the movement in the room stopped.

At this time, the angry look on Xi Jin's face hadn't come back yet, and she stood domineeringly, while Lu Chenzhi, who was sitting across from her, seemed a little weak for no reason.Who is bullying whom, the situation seems to be clear at a glance.

Xi Jin also realized this, her whole body froze, her voice weakened, and the explanation she said was a little pale: "I, I was discussing something with my brother just now..."

He originally wanted to see Lu Chenzhi joke, but in the end, the other party was indifferent the whole time, and he was so angry that he just let it go. Now he was obviously misunderstood, but he still wanted to knock out his teeth and swallow it...

Xi Jin froze, his face was very ugly, his mouth was whitewashed, and his heart felt uncomfortable like vomiting blood.

"Really?" Mrs. Xi sighed slightly, and glanced at Xi Jin, knowing in her heart that it was not as simple as he said, but in the end she chose to protect her, pretending she didn't know it, and changed the subject, "Okay, you go out first , I have something to say to your brother—”

Her words were interrupted.

"Are you talking about marriage?"

Under the surprised eyes of the two, Lu Chenzhi suddenly stood up.

Who in the wealthy circle can't talk around nine twists and eighteen bends, straight conversations are very rare, Mrs. Xi was punctured, paused, and smiled a little unnaturally: "Yes, yes."

The way she looked at Lu Chenzhi was inevitably filled with suspicion and some annoyance, and she was ready for an inevitable quarrel.

But Lu Chenzhi didn't want to make trouble as she thought.

"It's a bit inappropriate, but can I ask you a question?" he asked.

Although there were some surprises, it wasn't as good as being tense from the very beginning. Mrs. Xi was a little relieved, without much hesitation, she spoke with a smile.

"Why are you so polite? Just ask."

"..."

The air was silent for a while.

Except when Lu Chenzhi just came back, this was the second time they looked at each other at such a close distance. Mrs. Xi looked at the pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that were very similar to her, her heart trembled for some reason, and she couldn't help being in a daze for a moment.

There was an inexplicable soft emotion quietly spreading.

However, soon, this emotion was shattered. She heard Lu Chenzhi's voice, the tone was flat, but the content of the words was extremely earth-shattering.

"I want to make sure," he said, "Did the family find me back just to let me replace Xi Jin in marriage?"

"?!"

Under the cold contrast, Mrs. Xi's complexion suddenly changed.

What is this nonsense?

Even though he really didn't have that deep affection for this child whom he hadn't met in more than ten years, even this time he wanted to persuade him to agree, but being speculated like this, and even saying it mercilessly, suddenly hurt sharply She was ashamed and annoyed for no reason.

"how is this possible?!"

Mrs. Xi's voice was undignified, and it was rare for her to maintain a dignified expression, with a hint of anger, "Who told you that? Why do you think so?"

Lu Chenzhi's tone was calm, without distorting the facts, without embellishing them, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and at the same time, he was merciless.

He never followed their unspoken rules, simply and rudely tore off all the fig leafs.

"Sorry, it's just that Xi Jin told me just now—the family once refused the marriage with the Lin family because of him. It just so happens that I just came back, and the two families are about to marry again. I didn't care for my brother who grew up in an orphanage at all. Think about it. This is really meaningful, and it makes me think a little more."
