Chapter 388: What Right Do You Have to Mention Divorce?
Li Siru happened to be carrying tea water and almost bumped into Tu Yingying, but didn’t make things difficult for her. Li Siru remained unfazed and walked in slowly, placing the tea water in front of Tu Meijiao’s desk.
Tu Meijiao frowned as she glanced at her, "It’s already this late, and you’re still looking like this. You’re not that striking to begin with, and you don’t even bother to dress up properly. Are you planning to embarrass Beiyao at the banquet later?"
Li Siru remained indifferent and silent, just nodded, then said, "I’ll head out first!"
"So unlucky!" Tu Meijiao couldn’t help but snort.
Li Siru suddenly stood still, slowly turned around to look at Tu Meijiao. Tu Meijiao asked irritably, "Why are you still standing here? Are you trying to annoy me?"
"Mom, do you really dislike me?" Li Siru’s voice was calm and serene, but unlike her usual dull silence, there was a hint of confrontation.
Tu Meijiao was somewhat surprised, but still incredibly disdainful, "You only realized this now?"
"It’s good that you dislike me!" Li Siru’s lips curved into a faint smile, making Tu Meijiao quite uncomfortable, "Since mom dislikes me so much, surely you wouldn’t want me to be your daughter-in-law. In that case, may I boldly request that you let Beiyao divorce me?"
She used a negotiating tone, speaking so much to her for the first time, yet calmly and indifferently asking her to have her son divorce her.
Though it placed the initiative with them, why, no matter how you think about it, does it seem like this woman has issues? She wants to divorce Beiyao?!
She, on what grounds?!
Tu Meijiao snorted coldly, "I do dislike you, but whether or not there’s a divorce is not up to you. Go get ready; while you are still Mrs. Lu for today, fulfill your duty well!"
Li Siru’s expression turned icy, and quickly reverted to her previous lifelessness!
...
Ji Niandong returned to the film set that same day, and after resting, she woke up to explosive news while filming the next day.
"Lu Beichen attends a banquet with former Jade Girl Leader An Lin. Is An Lin intended to be Mrs. Lu?!"
Several websites also paired these words with Tu Yingying’s lonely and desolate expression, subtly mocking!
Lu Beichen’s marriage was once again abuzz with rumors, and now, nearly everyone believes that An Lin is indeed Mrs. Lu. Furthermore, over two years, An Lin has given birth to a son and daughter for Lu Beichen, only now allowed to enter high society!
Ji Niandong’s mood was completely affected by this news, which, according to the revelations, strongly suggests An Lin indeed took a break from the entertainment industry during those two years, presumably to have her children!
The news became more and more credible, causing her to NG several scenes!
Eventually, even the director couldn’t bear it and instructed, "Take a five-minute break!"
Ji Niandong frowned as she sat to one side. Lazy Cat handed her water to drink, while Shen Congling seriously helped her touch up her makeup.
Chi Yue came over and asked, "Didn’t sleep well last night? You’ve been off all day."
"No, I’m fine!" Ji Niandong hastily pulled out the script to continue reciting her lines, but she found she couldn’t concentrate.
Chi Yue stared at her for half a minute before saying, "It’s just news meant to grab attention, is it affecting your judgment?"
Ji Niandong suddenly looked at him, and Shen Congling was also taken aback.
Chi Yue chuckled, "Think about the essence of the matter, whether it benefits you or not. Many things aren’t as distressing as they seem on the surface."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Shen Congling crouched down and whispered, "Sister Tongtong, what did he mean by that? Why bring up the news all of a sudden? Could it be he..."
"Shh!" Ji Niandong glanced around, "Don’t mention this matter!"
