258 Weighing Options (2/2)
That was exactly what Ye Shuang wanted him to do.
After making that decision, while he was having lunch, Lin Yu gave the order. ”Is big brother free? I wish to talk to him… Also, leave a few people with Mr. Xia. It's not that stable here—tell him not to forget about the main reason he's here.”
The underling nodded and made the call. He talked on the phone and then turned back to say, ”Brother Chen's right-hand man said he'll call back in an hour. Master Yu, how many of us do you want to stay back here?”
Lin Yu rubbed his lips and put the lunch box aside. ”What do you think?”
The underling thought about it. ”Xiang Jiang's situation will only get chaotic, and perhaps more than one group might be testing the line. Sister Mo doesn't even have a bodyguard… Maybe a few of us should stay back?”
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction. His underling had to be someone who knew how to read the situation. ”Hmm, have a few stay back. If something happens, Xia Cheng will have the necessary support.”
Guessing Lin Yu's thoughts, the underling did not dare stay to gloat and wandered off to do other things. After some time, before the people were arranged, another underling came in with a crying face. ”Master Yu, Sister Mo is here.”
Lin Yu's calm and powerful presence disappeared instantly. He almost jumped up from the sofa in cheer. ”Really? Did she come alone? Finally, is she agreeing to go out with me? Did she wear something beautiful?”
”…”
The underling did not know which question to answer first. His face was conflicted, and the underling moved his eyes away under Lin Yu's anticipatory gaze, ”Sister… Sister Mo brought a few beautiful girls with her. She said that she wanted to go out for tea with Master Yu…”
Tea… Lin Yu's face was dark because he was reminded of the last time when he had gone out for tea with Mo Xiao Xia. She had brought a bunch of celebrities with her to climb all over him. Indeed, in the past, he had been quite a player… but that was already in the past. He did enjoy a life of lasciviousness but…
But had he not changed his ways after meeting Mo Xiao Xia‽
That was not the end of the bad news. The underling looked at Lin Yu in fear, and the latter noticed that. Lin Yu knew that he would not like the answer, but he asked anyway, ”What else?”
The underling revealed a pitiful expression. ”The beauties that Sister Mo brought with her… I'm not sure whether I remember it correctly or not, but a few of them seem to have gone out on a date with Master Yu before.”
Lin Yu was stunned after hearing that. The girl whom he was pursuing came to find him for tea with a bunch of his ex-girlfriends. What was with that‽
…
”You…” The next day, at the film set, Ye Shuang received the giggling phone call from Su Zheng. After hearing about Lin Yu's tragedy, even Ye Shuang was speechless.
Sighing, Brother Shuang rubbed the bridge of his nose. ”I see that Mr. Lin treats Xiao Xia well, and this is not the way to misuse Ol' K's ability… Yes, Mr. Lin used to be quite the Lothario… but he's a changed man now, right?”
Based on the possibility of them working together in the future, Ye Shuang really did not want Lin Yu to hate Su Zheng. Mo Xiao Xia was his crush, so that was fine. Perhaps he might even think it was cute for Mo Xiao Xia to do something like this.
But Su Zheng would not be so lucky. If Lin Yu's face was really threatened, the collected resentment would fall on Su Zheng's head. With such a negative impression, Ye Shuang would be too embarrassed to ask for money from the man.
The set director ran over to say, ”Brother Ye, Director Zhou wishes to talk to you.”
Su Zheng heard that, and she commented, ”Then Brother Ye, I won't bother you anymore. I know the limit; I'll never make Mr. Lin angry for real. By the way, Ol' K said that Mr. Lin's family's company has bought a bunch of plane tickets. It looks like they're sending a bunch of people over to Shanghai—should we follow up on this?”
”There's no need.” Ye Shuang followed the man to meet Director Zhou. ”Probably it's to 'keep an eye' on you know who. After all, Mr. Lin helped us yesterday, so if he faces any trouble, you can ask Ol' K to help him.”
”Brother Ye is talking about Xia Cheng?”
”Yes, but they're still from the same company, so try not to make Mr. Lin think that we're crossing the line.”
”Okay,” Su Zheng answered, ”I'll have Ol' K to do it cleanly. We'll only let him know what he needs to know. Actually, the firewall there is not as good as we thought… Oh, by the way, Ol' K wanted me to ask, if he's unable to do it, can he ask Ace for help?”
”…Be my guest.”
After a few more words, they hung up, and Ye Shuang arrived by Director Zhou's side. She greeted Luo Mingxin, who was also there, and sat down to ask with a smile, ”Director Zhou and Celebrity Luo, were you looking for me?”
Director Zhou nodded. ”The sponsor wants to invite you and Luo Mingxin to a function. Remember to come early the day after tomorrow. Especially you, Ye Shuang. The sponsor hinted that he has great hope for you. Even though you do not have plans to continue this career, at least don't offend the man.”
He's finally here…
After Rong Su ignored Xia Cheng, Ye Shuang knew that this day was coming. Counting the days, she had to find ways to maintain her gender for two more days?
There was nothing wrong with that, but the problem was, two days later was also the time Sister Yu wanted to introduce Sister Shuang to the partner of Miao Yi. Ye Shuang thought about it and compared the hooked fish with Huan Chen, which she had not interacted with, and decided to put Xia Cheng aside for now.
”Director Zhou…” Ye Shuang looked rather embarrassed.
The alarm rang in Director Zhou's mind, and he looked at Ye Shuang, stopping her. ”Don't tell me you're not free on that day!”
The handsome man smiled sadly, and the hopeless tone pained the listener's heart. ”But I do have something to do on that day. My partner and I have another responsibility…”
