My Wealthy Ex-Girlfriend Knelt and Begged Me to Come Back [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 58
That night, Feng Yalan immediately became a hot topic on social media—
【Unbelievable! Can someone check who this female celebrity is? She’s messing around and got caught by someone’s wife, and now the wife and the original partner are tearing into each other! I wish I were there in person!!!!】
【Honestly, Feng Yalan doesn’t even look good in unfiltered photos, right? It’s so obvious now, low aesthetic sense, ribbed nose and hyaluronic acid chin are killing me… How did those fans take those supposedly unedited photos before?】
【Help! Those so-called “wild photos” must be fake, right? All taken by assistants in advance and heavily retouched…】
【A daughter from the Wang family in Jing City posted on Weibo. She arrived early that day and saw the Feng female celebrity acting extremely badly, making her assistant block the elevator to stage the “wild unedited shot,” leaving her stuck in the lobby tea room for a long time…】
【Ahhh… the girl in the bottom left of the third photo, her side profile is so beautiful! Even though it’s blurry, she truly looks like a beauty at first glance… Am I the only one noticing her?!】
【Haha, that’s the recently popular “Little Yu”~ Ji Jiayu, beautiful and with a sweet voice, no celebrity airs at all, often chatting with fans at events. Investing in such a pretty girl is definitely worthwhile!】
#RichSocialiteFengYalanSecretAffairExposed# began climbing the trending charts,
At the same time, another trending topic’s view count was also steadily rising—
#JiJiayuLinQiaoxuanHoldingHandsSuccessfully#
[/Photo]: Ji Jiayu wore a black strapless evening dress, showing her graceful contours, slim waist, and long legs; Lin Qiaoxuan wore a dark gray suit dress with a tight belt around her waist, highlighting her slender figure elegantly.
Although their outfits were a bit mature today, Lin Qiaoxuan now lowered her eyes and curved her lips in a gentle smile, walking over to Ji Jiayu and holding her fingers.
CP fans went wild—
【Ahhhhhhh, I’m dead from shipping! What kind of divine CP is this?! Rich heiress × rising young star! My “LinYu” ship is real!】
【They look so good together! Pretty girl with pretty girl, indeed! I feel like their eyebrows and eyes are slightly similar. Their aura is totally different, but… they’re so compatible! Is this what they call “wife-wife resemblance”?】
【Don’t just look at their faces. Since returning to Tongda Group, Lin Qiaoxuan has accomplished a lot~ Search for her online, she’s a young version of the “venture queen of South City,” no less than the elder Lin Wan at her prime~】
【Fans say she’s the top fox spirit in the entertainment industry. If you want a pure little white flower, just watch her sway her waist and attract attention everywhere, hehe…】
Fans were dumbfounded. Could their Little Yu really be a “traffic magnet”? Two trending topics, yet both prominently mentioned Ji Jiayu—
【Haha, thank you all for the love~ Please follow Ji Jiayu, our Little Yu, 20 years old, professionally trained, diligently improving herself! Hope everyone focuses more on her work rather than her personal life~】
Meanwhile, Ji Jiayu, holding her fingers, clearly sensed this was orchestrated by Lin Wan…
She didn’t know how her mother had learned that her daughter had been replaced or robbed of roles in the entertainment industry again, or that someone had bullied her.
Lin Wan felt furious but even more protective, only wishing she could be there in person.
No matter what others thought,
Even if Ji Jiayu didn’t want to reveal her identity, she was actually the Lin family’s youngest daughter who went missing fifteen years ago…
But being low-key didn’t mean anyone could bully Lin Wan’s daughter!!
Lin Wan immediately had Lin Qiaoxuan fly from South City to Beijing on a private jet, aggressively investing in the film.
Leverage?
The Lin family never needed to ride on others’ influence…
They were the richest in South City, a top-tier family!
…
This was her mother’s mindset.
Yet spending tens of millions at once for her, without considering the so-called risk-reward ratio, unlike other rational top investors,
This was a mother… a belated but fierce maternal love.
Never mind millions, as long as her daughter could succeed, she would give everything she had!
Ji Jiayu’s heart tightened, a tingling sensation spreading to her nose, even her eyes becoming slightly moist,
Like a child who had never tasted sugar, suddenly given a huge, exquisite piece of sweet cream cake—the bittersweetness came from being deeply moved…
This was her first time acting in a movie; she must not disappoint her mother’s expectations…
While Ji Jiayu was lost in thought, Lin Qiaoxuan held her fingers and guided her to the upper level’s open-air terrace of the banquet hall.
“Sis, I had someone clear this area earlier,” Lin Qiaoxuan lightly caressed her slender fingers, the tips coated with glossy red nail polish, smooth to the touch, soft like the pads of a girl’s hand.
She curved her eyes slightly, her dark, glossy pupils sparkling, like a little dog seeking attention, murmuring softly,
“Now it’s just the two of us here…”
On the terrace near the railing, there were plaster columns, an ice bucket chilling wine, and two spotless wine glasses.
It turned out Lin Qiaoxuan was inviting her… to enjoy the night together.
“I haven’t had wine in a while,” Lin Qiaoxuan smiled, asking, “How about we enjoy the evening breeze together, and have a few drinks… okay?”
She remembered clearly, that time at the Japanese restaurant, Ji Jiayu had gotten tipsy, looking like a little drunk kitten, her fingers soft and enticing…
“Mm,” Ji Jiayu nodded, “I can drink a little.”
Clap clap—Lin Qiaoxuan lightly clapped her hands.
Footsteps on the stairs drew closer.
A sharply dressed waiter walked in to open the wine, letting it flow slowly into the decanter.
“Please enjoy…”
“You may leave now. Make sure no one disturbs us,” Lin Qiaoxuan instructed calmly.
“Yes.” The waiter bowed slightly and withdrew.
“This is a 1855 Bordeaux, Château Margaux.”
“Mm…” Ji Jiayu held the delicate glass stem, swirling the wine, lips brushing the rim lightly, taking a sip.
A faint red lip imprint remained on the glass, giving a slightly intimate feel.
“I can’t really taste it… such fine wine, drinking it with someone like me who doesn’t know wine,”
Her lips curled into a charming smile, the rosy cheeks showing small dimples, “what a waste.”
“Wine is meant to be shared. If you drink it with me, how could it be a waste?” Lin Qiaoxuan smiled,
“It’s the wine’s honor,”
“And sharing the evening breeze with you is my honor as well.”
Ji Jiayu tilted her head slightly, gazing at the sky, “There’s no moon tonight…”
“Mm, but there are stars,” Lin Qiaoxuan also looked up, glass at her lips, wine trickling down her throat.
She smiled softly, whispering,
“You will surely be the brightest star.”
An unintentional murmur, seemingly heartfelt.
Lin Qiaoxuan cupped her own face with one hand, looking back at Ji Jiayu, wind tousling her hair, eyes glistening slightly with moisture, her gaze somewhat dreamy.
This look made Ji Jiayu’s heart flutter,
Feeling that Lin Qiaoxuan sincerely wished her well, wanting her to shine brighter in her career, to become more excellent…
Both were like ancient fox spirits, with dual faces,
Ji Jiayu instinctively sensed a bit of danger from Lin Qiaoxuan—
Could she have misjudged this sister?
Lin Qiaoxuan hadn’t tried to compete with her… instead, she was quite nice…
But why was she being so good to her?
“Thank you, and same to you. I wish you a bright future…” Ji Jiayu paused, her crimson fingertips lightly covering her lips, her light brown eyes smiling, then corrected herself,
“No… you are talented at a young age. I saw your recent projects online, very successful.”
“But the business world is just like the entertainment industry, an invisible battlefield. Don’t get too conceited…”
Lin Qiaoxuan was deeply moved. Since being brought into the Lin family by Lin Wan, she had seen so many fake faces, countless people flattering her.
No one had ever been as clear-headed and yet so… mesmerizing as Ji Jiayu.
They clinked glasses, clang, a crisp sound.
After a few drinks, Ji Jiayu’s hand holding the glass trembled slightly. She cupped her face with one hand, cheeks flushed, eyes slightly squinting, gaze becoming somewhat hazy.
She felt lightheaded, lips slightly pouted, letting out a long breath,
“Why do I feel… a little dizzy?”
Her voice had a soft, childish nasal tone, not complaining, more like teasing.
Ji Jiayu had a low alcohol tolerance, so her slight tipsiness was normal.
“Drunk?” Lin Qiaoxuan lowered her eyes, lashes fluttering, moving her long legs closer to Ji Jiayu.
“Not drunk, just a bit dizzy…” Ji Jiayu shook her head slightly, trying to prove she wasn’t drunk…
Really, she wasn’t.
So cute, like a sleepy little kitten…
Lin Qiaoxuan’s lips curved into a subtle smile, leaning closer.
Seeing Ji Jiayu did not resist, Lin Qiaoxuan pressed closer, tossing the glass casually onto the plaster surface,
“Mm… you’re not drunk~”
“Lean on me for a bit…”
She giggled, her hand slowly wrapping around Ji Jiayu’s slender waist.
Ah… that delicate waist,
Just as soft as imagined.
Ji Jiayu’s eyes were hazy, vision blurred. Before she realized it, she was embraced, fingers pressing her exposed fair shoulder, warm to the touch, fingertips tracing slowly in circles,
Like gently stroking a nearly sleeping cat.
Tonight, the breeze was soft too.
Ji Jiayu leaned on her shoulder, hair lifted by the wind, strands brushing her jaw…
Her jaw tingled…
Her chest tingled,
Lin Qiaoxuan lowered her head, lips brushing the soft strands.
At this moment, someone’s footsteps entered silently, bypassing the door, stepping onto the terrace.
She lowered her head to kiss Ji Jiayu’s hair.
A third woman happened to walk in, standing between them, witnessing this scene through the air.
