Chapter 13: I Shouldn’t Have Taken You Back!
Shen Congjun and Linda are now almost at their wit's end, with Shen Congjun holding a phone with the speaker on. The two are sitting in the nanny van, and upon hearing Ji Niandong say this, Linda shakes her head in disbelief.
Shen Congjun quickly replies, "How could he just be playing tricks on people? He said he wants to marry you."
"Saying he wants to marry me is the trick itself. How could a man like Lu Beichen possibly marry me?" Ji Niandong sneers at herself. "Besides, aren't you clear about the kind of people I associate with?"
Shen Congjun and Linda exchange glances for a few seconds, feeling that Ji Niandong's words are not without reason. However, since Lu Beichen is willing to play such tricks with Ji Niandong, then Ji Niandong still has a chance to speak.
"Tongtong, these rich people can cut off our ways of living with just a wave of their hand. Since you can still speak to him, you must help me talk to him. Uncle is still waiting for the medical fees, and once this role is secured, my current pay is much more than before. Uncle's medical fees definitely won't be a problem." Shen Congjun persuades earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Niandong hurriedly asks, "The web series you filmed made quite a bit of money, right? Ah Jun, please help me cover the surgery fees first. Given a chance, I will certainly plead with Mr. Lu for you! I will pay you back once I earn some money."
Shen Congjun hesitates a bit, "Tongtong, the web series might have become popular, but how much money can I earn? When it was filmed, I was still a minor actor, and my pay was so little, only enough to keep myself dressed up regularly. But now my status has risen, and it's different when I take on roles. Director Zhang's films are always well-received and feature big stars. Once this role is secured, do you still worry I won't have money for you later?"
Ji Niandong's heart completely cools, and she responds indifferently, "If I had such ability, I would have gone to take high paying roles myself. Maybe I look so easy to bully that everyone comes to bully me! Ultimately, you're still not willing to lend me the money, so at least return the money that I won from the New Star Award back then!"
