Chapter 134 The devil is in the world!
He simply stood there, picked up a bamboo skewer, stuck a takoyaki on it, and slowly savored it.
"Why aren't you sitting down?" The assistant director asked instinctively when he saw him eating standing up. Then, realizing it might be inappropriate, he was about to ask him to go down and get a stool when he suddenly remembered that the man was still injured...
He put down what he was holding, walked off the stage, brought back a stool and placed it next to Jiang Xing: "Sit down."
Jiang Xinghe thanked him before sitting down to eat.
Director Liu looked at Jiang Xinghe, a hint of concern in his eyes: "What happened to your foot? Do you need surgery?"
Jiang Xing hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded honestly: "I have a torn meniscus and need to have a minor surgery."
"Okay, then contact me after your surgery." Director Liu took off one glove and threw it into an empty bag: "Waiting for you to film."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing was first stunned, then incredulous. After a long while, he seemed to understand what Director Liu had just said, and his expression gradually became excited, and he was overjoyed.
"Director Liu, do you mean I can play the male lead, Xie Wenjing?"
His tone carried a hint of trepidation and uncertainty.
Seeing his reaction, Director Liu couldn't help but become a little mischievous: "You don't want it? If you don't want to play this role, then I'll give it to someone else."
Fearing that Director Liu might actually give the role to someone else, Jiang Xinghe quickly and decisively said, "Yes! Director Liu, I want to play this role."
Director Liu smiled, a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said gently, "Okay, contact me when you're fully recovered."
Watching Director Liu tease Jiang Xinghe like he was playing with a cat, Lu Yining felt a bit disdainful: [Director Liu's current expression and behavior are like that of a wicked uncle who's kidnapping children...]
Director Liu, who was laughing, said: "..."
What the heck!
How did he end up looking like that?!
Director Liu glared at Lu Yining: Explain yourself clearly!
He was met with an innocent look.
……
That night, another trending topic exploded, and Weibo crashed again.
Guo Yunpan outwardly dotes on his wife, but secretly imprisons and abuses her! Evil exists among us!
Since its release, this trending topic has been climbing steadily, eventually settling at number one. Countless people have discussed it in the post, but all of them are condemning Guo Yunpan.
— Damn it, I used to like Guo Yunpan so much, but I never imagined he would be that kind of person! I've realized I have terrible judgment when it comes to people. My ex-boyfriend was abusive, my ex-boyfriend cheated on me, the first male celebrity I liked was caught soliciting prostitutes, the second male celebrity I liked was a drug addict, and now I like Guo Yunpan, and he's fallen from grace... He's actually a ruthless and twisted monster!
— Sis, who's your next crush? I want to avoid any potential pitfalls.
— Sis, why don't you keep updating your Weibo? I want to see who's next to have their reputation collapse.
— How ironic! Guo Yunpan used to frequently promote respect for women, but he himself didn't abide by it. Instead, he imprisoned his wife. It's utterly disgusting!
— I saw a news article that said because he was afraid his wife would need to use the toilet if she ate or drank too much, he only gave Huang Qingyu one meal and one bottle of water a day, just to keep her alive.
Lu Yining lay on the bed, occasionally swinging her two jade-like legs. She held a mobile phone in her hand, staring at the content on the screen with a strange smile. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she was looking at Weibo news related to Guo Yunpan.
After a pause, Lu Yining moved her fingers, switched from her main account to her alternate account, found the post she had just read, and started typing a comment.
— Listen up, this is what the gossip queen has revealed. If you believe it, keep reading. If you don't, just scroll away and stop talking nonsense.
— Huang Qingyu suffered a lot of inhuman abuse in the basement. When Guo Yunpan was in a good mood, he would throw her two steamed buns to eat. When he was in a bad mood, he would beat her with a feather duster. Her body, hands and legs were covered with bruises.
— Once, Guo Yunpan almost beat Huang Qingyu to death. Guo Yunpan originally didn't intend to pay attention to her, but he was afraid that if Huang Qingyu died, the police would find out what he had done before. So he invited a private doctor to come to her house overnight. After a day and a night of rescue, she finally survived and is still alive today.
Lu Yining typed out a long paragraph of text and sent it out one by one before stopping, putting down her phone, and picking up a novel to read carefully.
However, she hadn't even read a few pages when her phone kept ringing incessantly, preventing her from fully immersing herself in the novel.
She had no choice but to put the novel aside and pick up her phone again, only to find that the comments she had posted not long ago had already received hundreds of likes and dozens of replies in less than ten minutes.
Most of the questions were whether what she said was true, or how she knew. Others were criticizing Guo Yunpan's character.
Lu Yining was too lazy to reply anymore, so she simply put her phone on silent. Just as she was about to put the phone down, she saw that Director Liu had sent her a message.
She clicked on it, and the line of text read: Lu Yining, congratulations on landing the role of Shen Zhuxin, the second female lead in "Treading Through the Stars and Moon". The filming start date for "Treading Through the Stars and Moon" is currently undetermined. We will notify you of your joining the crew once it is confirmed.
After reading it, Lu Yining's eyes lit up. Remembering that not only she had gone to the audition today, but Lu Yunjie had also gone, Lu Yining got up and walked towards Lu Yunjie's room.
She had a premonition that it was no coincidence that Director Liu had chosen her third brother to play the role of Shen Tianling today!
On her way to Lu Yunjie's room, Lu Yunjie also received a message. He first skimmed through it, then read it again from the beginning. On the second read, his reading speed slowed down significantly, and he read it almost word by word.
After a moment, a smile curved his lips, his eyes full of laughter. However, this smile didn't last long before it vanished again. Lu Yunjie suddenly remembered something: his fifth sister... had she been selected?
Judging from Director Liu's expression today, he seems quite satisfied, so he must have... been selected...?
"Knock Knock Knock-"
The knocking had barely begun when Lu Yining's voice came through: "Third Brother, are you asleep? If not, let's talk about something."
Lu Yunjie walked over, opened the door, and saw Lu Yining wearing a light yellow coral fleece pajama and a bear hat. He found it cute and couldn't help but reach out and tug at her bear ears.
