“No, I’m not mistaken…”
Wang Lu froze for a moment when she saw Lin Yi on the sofa.
She was planning to sneak over and give her sister an unexpected surprise.
She didn’t expect to end up surprising herself first.
“Sis, is this little brother the new brother-in-law you found for me?”!!
Wang Lu’s eyes lit up. The new brother-in-law was so handsome.
Lin Yi had known about Wang Lu since a long time ago.
Wang Ying had told him about her family when she was working at Chaoyang Group.
She knew that she had a sister who was in her third year of high school.
However, she didn’t expect to meet her in such a way.
It was pretty awkward.
“What new brother-in-law? Don’t talk nonsense,” Wang Ying lectured. “His name is Lin Yi. He’s my colleague.”
“Sis, you’re trying to trick me.” Wang Lu obviously didn’t believe her, “If he really was your colleague, would you have brought him here? And your clothes are too revealing, sob sob sob… The two of you are obviously up to no good.”
Lin Yi rubbed his hands helplessly. were all third-year students this open these days?
“Enough, stop talking nonsense.”
Wang Ying knew that there was no way she could explain herself in their current state.
To put it bluntly, her sister didn’t believe that they were innocent, so she decided not to try to proclaim her innocence.
“Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? There’s still a lot of food left. Let’s eat something first.”
“I ate a lot in the car. I’m not hungry anymore, so don’t trouble yourself.”
After ushering Wang Lu to the sofa, Wang Ying asked,
“Didn’t you just finish your exams? Why are you here instead of studying at home?”
“I want to enter the Zhonghai Drama Academy. My score should be good enough, but there are also physical exams. I don’t have confidence in this aspect, so I found a professional training institution in Zhonghai and came here to train with my classmates.”
“Will you really cut it in this field?” Wang Ying said with disdain.
“Your score is not considered low. It would be better to look for a 211 university than to try to be an actressin a Drama Academy.”
“Why not? Sister, don’t always insult me.” Wang Lu retorted.
“My looks are not bad, and my legs are long enough. Even you are not my match. It would be a pity if I don’t become an actress.”
“Do you know how chaotic the entertainment industry is? Be careful of the unspoken rules.”
Wang Ying’s worry was not without reason.
The current entertainment industry no longer relied on real ability.
If no capitalist was willing to support you, no matter how good your acting skills were, it would be useless.
Furthermore, whether or not someone was willing to support you depended not on acting skills, but on another set of skills.
Only someone like Ji Qingyan, whose looks and figure were heaven-defying, would have any hope of being successful.
Although Wang Lu’s qualifications weren’t bad, they weren’t exactly heaven-defying.
In the entertainment industry, where there were countless beauties, if one didn’t have the favor of the heavens, one could very well disappear in the vast sea of people.
However, when a youth was atthe innocent and romantic age, it was only natural to have unrealistic dreams.
Lin Yi felt a little sad at the thought of this.
Apart from being handsome and rich, he had nothing else.
“Sis, don’t insult me. Let me try.” Wang Lu looked at Lin Yi. “Brother-in-law, hurry up and persuade my sister. It’s the 21st century now, and she still thinks in such a dated fashion.”
“I think it’s good that she has her own ideas. Don’t interfere too much.”
“You’re smart. You know how to ask for backup.”
“I can’t help it. Good-looking people have a gravitational pull to them.”
Lin Yi nodded. “You have good taste. If you really gain a foothold in the industry, you should be able to make it in the entertainment industry in the future.”
“Sis, look, my brother-in-law had already said this. You’re a woman. You can’t go against him.”
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Wang Lu.
“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t worry about you anymore. You’re already so old. There are some things you have to learn to decide for yourself.”
Wang Ying also knew that her sister had grown up. There were some things that she couldn’t interfere with anymore.
No one could predict the future. Moreover, every step of a person’s life was probably pre-destined anyway.
Just like herself. If it wasn’t for Lin Yi, she might not have been able to stay in Zhonghai anymore.
“Hehehe, that’s right.” Wang Lu said as she held Lin Yi’s arm.
“Sis, when I went upstairs, I saw a red supercar beside your car. It looked very handsome and cool. Did brother-in-law drive it? Can you let me sit in it? I’ve never seen such a coolcar in my life.”
“It’s not his. Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Wang Ying said.
“Although you’ll be going to college soon, you still have to study hard. Don’t be so vain.”
Lin Yi suddenly understood Wang Ying.
The current third-year students let themselves go after taking the college entrance exam. They were like unbridled wild horses, untamable by anyone.
The way Wang Ying was lecturing Wang Lu was also a form of education.
Acting cool was only for adults. Children should not join in the fun.
“You’re right. Brother-in-law is your colleague. He shouldn’t be able to afford such a good car,” Wang Lu said.
“But sister, you’re doing very good. You just got promoted and already got brother-in-law. Not bad, not bad.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? We’ve known each other since I was still a regular office worker,” Wang Ying said embarrassedly.
“You don’t have to explain. I understand.”
Wang Ying was speechless. She didn’t know what her sister had understood.
Ring, ring, ring…
Just as the three of them were talking, Wang Lu’s phone rang.
Looking at the number, Wang Lu’s expression suddenly dropped. She took the phone and went to the bathroom.
Wang Ying glanced at Lin Yi. “Who is she talkin to? Why is she being so mysterious?”
“Don’t be so surprised.” Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “She’s already 18 years old. She’s about to go to college. Can’t you let her live her life?”
“That won’t do. What if she’s seeing a bad person?” Wang Ying said seriously. “She’s been a troublemaker ever since she was a kid.”
Ten minutes later, Wang Lu came out of the bathroom.
“Sis, I have something to do. I have to go to my classmate’s house. I’ll be back later.”
“Stop right there!” Wang Ying said. “It’s so late. Which classmate are you going to meet? Besides, do you have any classmates from Zhong Hai?”
“Yeah, I do…”
“Your sister has been in Zhonghai for so many years. I have seen all kinds of people. You want to lie to me with this little trick of yours?” Wang Ying said with a straight face.
“You will stay here tonight. You can’t go over!”
“Sister, don’t be like this. I have an appointment with my classmates. They are waiting for me downstairs,” said Wang Lu.
“How can you set an appointment for the middle of the night? You’re not allowed to go anywhere. If you want to go out and hang out, you can do it tomorrow.”
“But I can’t do this kind of thing during the day.”
Lin Yi, “???”
Something that could only be done at night?
That was too much information!
“I don’t know what kind of things you can’t do during the day,” Wang Ying said. “It’s obviously not a good thing! I’ll say it again, just stay here, you can’t leave!”
“Sister, several of my classmates have already agreed to our plans tonight. We want to experience going to a nightclub in Zhonghai. If you don’t let me go, I’ll be so embarrassed.”
