Li Mingyu’s eyes flashed with displeasure, “Are you trying to pressure me with your background? Fine, if that’s the case, have La Jingzhou tell me himself!”
Li Mingyu’s words were quite impolite, and Bai Shilan’s face turned ugly, “I have no relationship with La Jingzhou, Director Li, what do you mean by that?”
Li Mingyu scoffed, “I don’t care what your relationship with La Jingzhou is. You better just be a vase in the movie, and if you try to meddle more, I won’t hesitate to replace the leading actress.”
Her movie, when has it ever lacked investment!
It’s just that La Jingzhou is a big shot in the industry, and her director’s contract is also signed with La Jingzhou’s Huanyu Entertainment. She didn’t want to offend him, that’s all.
But if Bai Shilan extends her reach too far, even interfering with casting…
Then let there be enmity.
After all, her contract is about to expire, and she could just switch companies if it comes to that.
Bai Shilan looked at Li Mingyu with disbelief.
Although she pursued freedom, she accepted everything La Jingzhou gave, and she definitely wanted to borrow La Jingzhou’s influence.
With La Jingzhou backing her, didn’t she have everyone at her beck and call wherever she went?
Now.
Li Mingyu actually dared to speak to her like that.
Bai Shilan left with a dark face.
Ye Xiao was eating lunch while flipping through the script.
She couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder.
Just looking at the psychological activities of Bai Shilan described in the book, if La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan didn’t end up together, then he’s undoubtedly a male lead with a tragic fate. But La Jingzhou is the male protagonist!
Even if Bai Shilan kept causing trouble, he still doted on her and loved her.
But since the La family is wealthy, and he can’t marry Bai Shilan into the family, La Jingzhou already has a fiancée, so Bai Shilan has no choice but to remain his canary.
His fiancée in this book is no less tragically fated than Ye Lin.
The fiancée was originally Liu Yan from the wealthy Liu Family. She fell for La Jingzhou the moment she saw him, and La Jingzhou didn’t refuse, so they naturally became engaged.
Liu Yan thought La Jingzhou was also interested in her and treated him with such tenderness and affection over the years.
Liu Yan is also a high achiever; she graduated from a top university and manages several companies of the Liu family. In terms of appearance, figure, and capabilities, she far surpasses Bai Shilan.
But.
La Jingzhou just didn’t fancy a fiancée who was great in every aspect; he only liked the gentle and frail Bai Shilan.
That’s how it was.
Love is inherently irrational. If he truly liked Bai Shilan, then he should have made it clear to his fiancée and openly get together with Bai Shilan.
But he didn’t.
On one hand, he wouldn’t break off the engagement, while on the other, he hid his affair, keeping his mistress even though everyone knew about it. Liu Yan had challenged him about it, but as long as La Jingzhou said a word, she chose trust, believing that his support of Bai Shilan was truly just for the benefit of the company.
Because of this, Liu Yan didn’t initially target Bai Shilan.
But Bai Shilan was not happy. Every time she argued with La Jingzhou, she would bring up his fiancée, claiming how much she has endured and how much she has suffered following La Jingzhou.
Each time, La Jingzhou was heartbroken. Since he couldn’t give Bai Shilan a title, he compensated with even more affection.
Later, Liu Yan finally discovered the true nature of the relationship between La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan. Feeling deceived for so long, she, in a fit of anger, lashed out at Bai Shilan with scorn and sarcasm.
That jeering and sarcasm was like poking a hornet’s nest.
Bai Shilan, out of spite, went straight to Ye Lin. When La Jingzhou saw Bai Shilan daring to being with someone else, he was, of course, furiously jealous and finally realized that no matter what Bai Shilan’s status was, he couldn’t live without her!
Once the domineering CEO became jealous, the earth shook.
And so, the Liu family was done for.
Ye Lin was done for.
La Jingzhou finally got his happy ending with his beloved wife.
This pair.
One could say, they’re every bit as well-matched as Chen Yueyue and Qin Mobei, Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue.
That’s a story for another time.
Back to the current plot.
Bai Shilan had just been thinking about wanting freedom and escaping constraints, and now, feeling humiliated by Li Mingyu, she immediately called La Jingzhou to complain.
But for a director of Li Mingyu’s caliber, La Jingzhou had already given her major face by pushing Bai Shilan into the project. There wasn’t much more he could do. La Jingzhou could only patiently soothe his little wife.
Bai Shilan didn’t get her way, and started to quarrel with La Jingzhou over the phone.
On one end she said, “You talk so sweetly, but in reality, you don’t love me at all.”
On the other end he replied, “Shilan, stop making a fuss. My heart, do you still not understand it?”
