Ji Niandong awkwardly covered Lu Sinian’s mouth, apologetically saying, "Sorry about that, Li Yi. Lingling might be a bit naive, but she’s kind-hearted. Thank you for taking her in. At this critical moment, she can’t go anywhere else. Following her brother might be even worse!"
"Mrs. Lu, you’re really kind-hearted. Shen Congjun is just inhumane, yet you’re still concerned about his sister!" Li Yi’s tone was a bit indignant.
Ji Niandong curled her lips into a smile, "He is him, Lingling is Lingling. Their family helped me a lot back then! So I always see Lingling as a sister, but Shen Congjun..." She snorted coldly, "What about him?"
"Him!" Li Yi gleefully said, "I heard he’s hiding at home, with fans literally splashing dog blood on his doorstep. But who cares about him! This time he’s been messed up by his own sister, can’t blame anyone else!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Niandong’s expression through the rearview mirror. Seeing she remained indifferent and unconcerned, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At some point, Lu Beichen took her hand. Ji Niandong looked at him and smiled, leaning on his shoulder with a hint of coquetry, "Little Uncle, why sign a long-term contract with him, still have to support a freeloader in the future!"
She spoke lightly, and Li Yi just felt... such a dismissive tone!
A subtle smile appeared on Lu Beichen’s face, "Makes sense. Although I’ve got plenty of money, there’s no need to support someone like that!"
"Exactly!" Li Yi chimed in timely, "But he still made some contribution. Now he’s getting roasted online. Netizens are all saying they want to see the movie ’Choked Love’ to see how scummy he is!"
Ji Niandong’s smile froze. No wonder this issue hasn’t been completely resolved for so long. Turns out, just because he played a scumbag, the more he’s reviled, the better it is for the movie’s effect! Anyway, it’s not like it caused public outrage because of drugs****!
Capitalists really are capitalists, Ji Niandong couldn’t help but think of Ning Zesheng’s indifferent face. Even Qiao Anlu was afraid of him, truly ruthless!
Yet, somehow, it feels so satisfying!
She leaned even closer into Lu Beichen’s embrace, feeling utterly content, "Little Uncle, shall we have a big meal? I’ve been in Switzerland so many days, I really miss home-cooked food!"
"Sure, whatever Mrs. Lu wants to eat, we will eat!"
They exchanged smiles, and the Little Bun nearby felt ignored, quickly nudging Ji Niandong, "Sister Tongtong, help me check my back, is there a mosquito in the car? It itches!"
Ji Niandong indeed got up from Lu Beichen, pulled up his thin little T-shirt, and took a look, "Where does it itch?"
She reached in to gently scratch, making the Little Bun giggle, "Ah, Sister Tongtong, not there, stop scratching!"
He shrank back and moved away, then hugged her hand and pressed against it again. Seeing him , Ji Niandong couldn’t help but hold him tightly, "Ticklish, huh! Actually, Sister Tongtong is ticklish too!"
In the front, Li Yi couldn’t help but say, "With the air conditioning so low in the car, can there still be mosquitoes?"
Lu Beichen smiled without saying a word, while Lu Sinian’s expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "Uncle Li Yi, can you just drive properly?"
I’m asking you, is my little gaze scary or not?!
Li Yi silently rolled his eyes, "Little Young Master and Madam really get along well, only polite and fond of Madam!"
"Because none of you are likable!" He grinned obsequiously at Ji Niandong, "Sister Tongtong, I like you the most!"
Lu Beichen laughed softly and sighed, "Perhaps, they are alike!"
"Of course, Uncle Zhu said we look like a married couple!" Little Bun boasted proudly.
Li Yi couldn’t help clicking his tongue, "Little Young Master, even kids need to be realistic, otherwise you’ll suffer when you grow up!"
Lu Sinian sat up with his hands on his waist and said, "Uncle Li Yi, don’t you know that after spending so much time with Mr. Lu, you’ve also become quite unlikable!"
