Chapter 3

She squeezed her knuckles tightly, trying to suppress the sourness, and glanced at the comments on Weibo.

[y is Feifei's English name. They are a good match]

[Feifei posted on Weibo to explain that she cut her hands while cooking for her friends, and the shitty marketing account also wrote about splashing her wrists.]

[Cooking late at night? only friends? Anyway, these two are also open secrets in the entertainment industry.]

[According to a friend who graduated from A university, Feifei and the man were in love with vigor and vitality back then. When they broke up, the man was decadent for a long time and finally went abroad.]

[Wow, after all, all the straight men were obsessed with her.]

Lin Qingfei entered the entertainment industry after graduation and is now a hot enough female star.

There is an entertainment company under the Qin family, and the general manager is Jiang Anzheng, a childhood friend of Qin Jue, who has a good relationship with Lin Qingfei. Lin Qingfei terminated the contract with the previous company at the beginning of the year, and then directly signed a ten-year brokerage contract with Qin.

The Ruan and Qin families are long-term friends, and the entertainment industry is complicated. It seems that there is nothing wrong with Lin Qingfei asking Qin Jue to take care of her. At least Qin Jue and his group of friends think so.

After signing the contract, Lin Qingfei often crossed Jiang Anzheng for various reasons and called Qin Jue for help.

For example, during the audition, the director was freshed with her. The crew had dinner and the investor suggested her to sleep with him. And the seniors deliberately suppressed her during the filming.

Reasons emerged one after another, but as a result, Lin Qingfei rose to the top because of Qin Jue's escort, not only you could not find any negative news, but her ambiguous relationship with Qin Jue also became a "secret" open to the entertainment industry.

And now, the two are on the trending again.

Most of the reasons were done on purpose by Lin Qingfei, but the most unresolved conflict between them was not Qin Jue, but that the Lin family didn't want Ruan Zhiyin to marry into the Qin family.

The Qin Ruan family got married, but the groom escaped marriage for his ex-girlfriend on the wedding day. Even if the wedding is postponed, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a "submission" under pressure.

Ruan Zhiyin could imagine what kind of rumors the Ruan family would face after today.

She couldn't help but watch the Ruan family's reputation discredited, and her grandfather's body couldn't stand such stimulation!

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Kang Yu, the director of the wedding, "The wedding will not be postponed. Please continue to prepare."

She has a good temper and rarely gets angry over the years. But grandpa's health was getting worse and worse. The Lin family did not care about grandpa's body at all, which did offend her.

Ruan Zhiyin's voice was calm. Kang Yu got the words, quickly reacted, nodded and left.

On the other hand, Zhao He, who followed, looked at Ruan Zhiyin before she left, and her eyes were no longer deliberately pleasing, but mixed with a bit of disdain like watching a interesting drama.

"Lin Qingfei went to the hospital last night, and Qin Jue rushed to Beiyao overnight. I just received these photos, so they should have been released by Lin Qingfei."

Ruan Zhiyin explained the photo to her friend.

Hearing this, Gu Linlang touched her chest with anger, "She is crazy! She and Qin Jue have broken up like for 1000 years. What's the point of arranging this before your wedding?"

"Lin Cheng didn't want me to marry into the Qin family. My grandfather gave me the shares, and Lin Jingfei had a grudge since then. She did this, and maybe Lin Cheng had instructed her, or maybe she just wanted to discredit me and make others laugh at me."

Although Ruan Zhiyin and Lin Qingfei are related by blood, they are not affectionate cousins.

In Lin Jingfei's mind, Ruan Zhiyin was an intruder in her life. In Ruan Zhiyin's view, what the Lin family and Lin Jingfei did doomed their estrangement.

She couldn't repay her grievances with virtue, and the Lin family was not worthy of letting her forgive them lightly.

Gu Linlang looked up at her, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry?” Ruan Zhiyin was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Before you rushed in, I just told Qin Jue to cancel the engagement."

Gu Linlang was instantly dumbfounded, and her face was full of astonishment.

Gu Linlang knew Ruan Zhiyin's feelings for Qin Jue better than anyone else. But she also understands that Ruan Zhiyin's decision is almost impossible to change.

After a long time, she sighed, shook her head and said, "Qin Jue is really self-inflicted this time."

As a friend for more than 20 years, she still felt sorry for Ruan Zhiyin's dedication to Qin Jue.

Lin Qingfei had a relationship with Qin Jue back then, but they broke up after not long, and it was Lin Jingfei who decided to break up.

Later, Qin Jue, who was hurt in feelings, sadly went abroad to the school which Ruan Zhiyin applied for.

Ruan Zhiyin accepted Qin Jue's pursuit in her second year abroad. Gu Linlang knew that they had a good relationship when they were abroad. Even if Qin Jue and the Qin family broke up in the middle, Ruan Zhiyin would not hesitate to accompany him.

From the establishment of Qin Jue's company abroad to the listing, Ruan Zhiyin can’t tell how much effort she put into it.

She rejected her mentor's recommendation for further studies, and did not choose to return to China, but gave all her savings to Qin Jue and accompany him through the most difficult days.

The former pride of heaven, when he first looked for investors, he can’t tell how many rejections he received. Qin Jue couldn't lower his head and couldn't let go of his pride, all of which were due to Ruan Zhiyin's hard-working mediation behind his back.

During this period, the company suffered a blow and fell to the bottom. Everyone felt that Qin Jue had failed in the bet with the Qin family, and only Ruan Zhiyin had been supporting and accompanying him.

Gu Linlang also thought that the two would go on. She still remembers Ruan Zhiyin's bright eyes during the New Year's Day video——

"Linlang, Qin Jue proposed to me. He said, we will get married when we return home."

Gu Linlang understood why Ruan Zhiyin was happy.

Qin Jue proposed not because of their engagement, but because he really loved her and wanted to marry her. For Ruan Zhiyin, it was like a long-awaited home.

But things are unpredictable. Ever since the two returned to China at the beginning of this year, Lin Qingfei began to act like a drama queen again and again based on their childhood sweetheart, and even Gu Linlang couldn't stand Qin Jue's actions.

On the other hand, Ruan Zhiyin just watched quietly.

It seems she has a considerate and tolerant good temper. But once such a person gives up, she will never look back.

"Linlang, no one's heart died suddenly. You don't have to worry about me. Although you can't say that your heart is like still water, but it's really not as sad as you imagined."

Ruan Zhiyin gave Gu Linlang a reassuring smile.

She did not regret making this decision. Abandoning this feeling, in addition to being disappointed, she was more like relieved.

Gu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief, "Since your heart was dead, why did you just say..."

She did not doubt that Ruan Zhiyin decided to cancel the engagement, but Ruan Zhiyin just said that the wedding would not be postponed.

"It is true that the wedding cannot be postponed, and Grandpa's body cannot be stimulated. At first, I wanted to cancel, but since Lin Qingfei made up her mind to make me lose face—"

Ruan Zhiyin froze suddenly, with her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Then I can only change the groom."
