Chapter 23
Just Replace Her
Jin Zhan’s eyes filled with love as he grabbed Lu Zhen’s hand. “But you’re the only one I want. You’re the only one I want to marry. Zhenzhen, can you forgive me?”
Lu Zhen really wanted to vomit. This man’s acting skills were indeed quite good, and he was willing to let go of his pride. Therefore, in her previous life, he had played her for a fool until she was abandoned like trash. Only then did she realize that she had been blind all along.
If he really only had her in his heart, could he change lovers as often as he ate?
At the thought that she had actually liked such a scumbag in the past, Lu Zhen really wanted to slap herself.
When Jin Zhan was having sex with other women in bed, he probably didn’t even think about her at all.
“I’m in the middle of something right now, and I don’t want to talk about it,” Lu Zhen said coldly, breaking free of Jin Zhan’s grip.
She still had to talk business with the director. How could she have time to waste time with a scumbag?
Jin Zhan wanted to pull Lu Zhen’s hand again, but Sun Xiao stopped him.
This scumbag had the nerve to pester her?
“Mr. Jin, Sister Zhenzhen already said that she has something to do. You shouldn’t waste her time. After being dumped, you should focus on your career.” Although Sun Xiao was a girl, when it came to protecting her master, she was imposing.
To think that she used to think that Jin Zhan and Zhenzhen were a match made in heaven. Pfft, he wasn’t even worthy of carrying Sister Zhen’s shoes!
Jin Zhan glared coldly at Sun Xiao. How dare a mere assistant interfere in his business?
Ignoring him, Sun Xiao turned and went after Lu Zhen.
…
“Sob sob sob…” Lu Rou hid in her room and cried. Lu Zhen did it on purpose. She delayed posting on Weibo after the press conference so that she would continue to be scolded for the next few days.
In the past, Lu Zhen was very innocent and listened to everything the Lu family said. Was she possessed by a ghost now?
“Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore.” Wu Yu put her arms around her daughter and comforted her helplessly. “Just bear with it for two more days. Don’t go out for the next two days unless it’s for work.”
Lu Rou looked up with an aggrieved look. “Mom, what if she goes back on her word?”
Lu Zhen was a completely different person now. She was completely out of control.
Wu Yu’s eyes flickered, and her tone was ruthless. “Don’t worry, she’s an ant in our hands. We’ve already controlled her for so many years, so why should we be afraid that we can’t suppress her this time? If she dares to go back on her word, I’ll ruin her reputation and make her die a horrible death!”
After all, she had adopted Lu Zhen in order to benefit from her. If she couldn’t get any benefits, she would destroy her!
At this moment, Lu He returned. When he saw the mother and daughter talking through gritted teeth, he was very upset.
He didn’t understand how an adopted child could bring him so many benefits while his biological one was so useless.
When Lu Rou saw Lu He return, she ran over pitifully. However, before she could say anything, Lu He warned her impatiently, “You better behave yourself for the next two days! The company is relying on Lu Zhen to earn money now. If you guys cut off the family’s income, just wait to starve!”
Lu Rou shrank back in fear and didn’t dare to speak again, but she hated Lu Zhen even more in her heart.
It was all Lu Zhen’s fault. It was because of her that her dad had become like this.
Wu Yu immediately shielded Lu Rou behind her. “Enough. Why are you so fierce to your daughter? In the future, when our daughter replaces Lu Zhen, we still have to rely on our daughter!”
Lu He grunted. “I hope so.”
Lu Rou felt aggrieved. Did her father think so little of her now?
At this moment, Lu Rou’s phone rang. Someone had informed her that she was going to the production team to film her scenes today.
Elsewhere, Lu Zhen was already on set, discussing some script changes with Director Li.
“You’re right. There has got to be some conflict!” Director Li agreed, after listening to Lu Zhen’s careful analysis of the suggestion.
Lu Zhen had mentioned it to him the last time. After he found the screenwriter, who was more accepting of the changes, he called Lu Zhen over again to discuss how to change it.
Since the female protagonist’s cousin’s family had all died and she went to seek refuge with the female protagonist alone, she had been wandering around all the way. Without some schemes and tricks, it would have been difficult for her to survive. It was obviously inappropriate to portray her as a pure and kind person.
Moreover, the death of her cousin’s parents was related to the female lead’s parents. Logically speaking, her cousin should hate the female lead. Who could ignore one’s father’s death?
