Chapter 54
(22.2)
Lu Wanwan’s father felt that his daughter might die of stupidity. He really couldn’t bear it any longer and asked, “You really aren’t aware of Shen Yi’s family matters?”
Lu Wanwan played the fool, blinking her eyes, and matching his tune, she asked, “His family matters? Isn’t he an orphan?”
Lu Wanwan’s father said furiously, “What orphan ? Anyway, just remember that his family background isn’t ordinary and that’s it.”
Only then did Lu Wanwan realize why her father, who had always looked down on Shen Yi, had changed his attitude so much these days, she guessed her father was also aware of Shen Yi’s true identity.
This gave her a bit of a headache. If this went on, her excuse for disliking Shen Yi, which right now was his lack of money, couldn’t hold up anymore.
Lu Wanwan’s father saw that her expression slightly softened and thus he continued to persuade her, taking advantage to beat the iron while it was still hot, “Wanwan, you are my daughter, what kind of behavior you have, am I not clear about it ? I can only blame myself, as your father, for not being good enough and raising you to be this way.”
“You listen to your father’s advice, go back and live well with Shen Yi, in the future, a good life awaits you.”
Lu Wanwan’s expression which was saying “I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I just want to divorce”, and which couldn’t be persuaded otherwise, made her father want to hit her.
Lu Wanwan also didn’t make an unreasonable scene, she just lowered her head as if she was going to cry, her palm-sized little face didn’t have much color and one couldn’t help but be distressed for her when looking at her.
***
When she came out of the Lu’s family house, she bumped into an acquaintance.
That was the Gu family’s daughter, Gu Sheng, which was also the daughter-in-law candidate that the Shen grandfather was fancying for his grandson.
It was also a coincidence that Li Xing was Gu Sheng’s cousin. Gu Sheng, as the female lead, grew up inside a big household, with the group of friends, being spoiled and loved, thus in the hearts of Li Xing and Fu Chenghuai, of course Gu Sheng was more important.
Lu Wanwan felt that she was quite unlucky, she could come across anyone but why did she had to come across the female lead which was the ultimate fake silly and innocent sweety ?
In terms of acting skills, she wasn’t up to her level.
Gu Sheng had been playing the role of a silly and innocent sweety for ten years, and her acting was flawless, that she could make anyone see her as nothing else but a simple-minded little white flower was a great skill in itself.
Li Xing smiled as he called her a sister-in-law.
Gu Sheng also smiled at her a smile that no one would ever find annoying, and said, “Sister Wanwan, I saw the video of you on stage a few days ago, I think you’re amazing ah, you can even be on TV, the entertainment industry sounds so wonderful a place to be.”
The powerful and noble families scoffed at people who mixed in the entertainment industry.
Would it make sense for Gu Sheng not to know? Saying these words would only make these people look down on her even more.
Besides, she couldn’t even be considered to be an host in the entertainment industry, she was just a small interviewer for an e-sports tournament.
Lu Wanwan used to present a good front for these younger generation sons and daughters of rich families, she would pretend to be eager to be friendly with them, but since she had already mentioned her intention to divorce with Shen Yi, now she wasn’t interested in keeping up the act anymore. Her eyelids moved slightly and she shamelessly said, “I also think I’m pretty amazing.”
This time, it wasn’t only Gu Sheng who was stunned, Li Xing and Fu Chenghuai also were a little surprised.
There seemed to be an indescribable change in Lu Wanwan.
Gu Sheng was worthy to be the female lead, in but just a moment she was already back to her normal expression, she smiled at her even more sweetly as she said: “Today brother Li Xing is inviting us, sister Wanwan, let’s go together.”
When Lu Wanwan was about to refuse, Gu Sheng made it look like she was very familiar with her, coming up to her, she took her hand and dragged her to the car.
Alright, let’s go then, who was afraid of who?
Li Xing wasn’t very willing to bring along Lu Wanwan. He originally thought that for Gu Sheng’s birthday, bringing together a few acquaintances to have a good time would be good enough, but what good would bringing along Lu Wanwan be ? But now that Gu Sheng had already pulled the person inside the car, he couldn’t say anything.
Lu Wanwan then received a text message from Shen Yi, [Where are you?]
[I’m out playing with Gu Sheng and the others].
The place Li Xing and all of them went to wasn’t a place where ordinary people could enter. It seemed like it was the first time they brought Gu Sheng here to play. Seeing her, the manager was very polite, he kept nodding his head and bowing his waist in greetings.
When she entered the private box, Lu Wanwan saw that there was a big cake in the middle of the low table, only then did she understand what was the occasion today.
It turned out to be Gu Sheng’s birthday.
