Ji Niandong now realizes that over the past five years, she has become a wreck.
Six years ago, she participated in the Banana Entertainment's New Star Selection Contest with Shen Congjun. She was selected as the first place winner, but after a year of failing to cherish herself, she was involved in a car accident. The company gave the spot to Shen Congjun, and after being discharged, she ended up with Shen Congjun.
Initially, she took on a few advertisements. Later, whenever a director sought her out, she insisted on bringing Shen Congjun along, ultimately resulting in no one caring about her.
She willingly became the woman behind Shen Congjun, accompanying him in scenes, choosing roles suitable for him, until he temporarily made a mark and acquired an agent, Linda.
She silently took care of his daily living and his sister. The few friends she had in the entertainment circle stopped contacting her, and the agent who once wanted to promote her was extremely disappointed.
She almost severed her connection with the world.
Without Shen Congjun, she didn't even have anyone to turn to!
Ji Niandong pulled out a black card from her pocket, clutching it tightly, wishing to crush it, but eventually tucked it back into her pocket.
Eventually, she could only lean against the bedside, closing her eyes to avoid letting her father see anything unusual, and ultimately... fell asleep exhausted.
When she woke up, another night had passed. Lately, she might have been too tired, tired to the point that she could fall asleep standing!
She got up and immediately entered combat mode, pulling out her phone only to see Shen Congjun's message from last night: "Tongtong, I spoke too harshly earlier. How about we find a time to talk properly?"
"Tongtong, did you receive my message? If not, could you answer my call?"
"Tongtong, are you really ignoring me?"
He sent five or six messages before stopping.
She was his only lifeline; Ji Niandong immediately replied: "I accidentally fell asleep. You pick a place, I'll head over right away."
"Okay, see you at Beiyuan at eight tonight!"
Ji Niandong replied, "Okay!"
Beiyuan is owned by YT, the most upscale club in New City, connected to YT International Hotel, a place for dignitaries and high-profile gatherings. Shen Congjun now even arranges meetings here, yet claims he has no money.
Ji Niandong chuckled, spent the day at the hospital with her father, got lectured by the assistant physician several times, hardly ate anything all day, and after returning home, took a shower, tidied up herself, and headed to Beiyuan.
Lu Beichen was inside negotiating a business deal. His associate, Li Yi, suddenly whispered in his ear: "Boss, it's Miss Ji, she's here to see you!"
Lu Beichen then raised his eyes to look, through the gaps of the carved compartment, instantly spotted her.
The woman was wearing a light yellow off-shoulder dress, revealing her alluring collarbones. Her smooth hair was casually tied at the back of her head. Due to her long neck, the bright necklace hung down long and looked incredibly beautiful. Her face was lightly made up, stepping with thin high heels, carrying a small purse in her hand, appearing gentle and graceful, with an elegant demeanor.
She surprisingly found her way here, knew to dress up to come here, who said she was unsuitable to be Mrs. Lu?
Lu Beichen's face suddenly broke into a contented smile, causing everyone talking business at the table to stare at each other.
But in an instant, they saw the woman enter another compartment, and Lu Beichen's face suddenly darkened.
Li Yi's face also changed, quickly asking, "Boss, should I inquire who is inside?"
Lu Beichen picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, his finger tapping the table, showing his impatience: "Continue discussing business!"
She actually refused to be his Mrs. Lu and came here to seek out... a financial backer?
