111 Sowing Discord
It was not easy for her to finally avoid this situation after she grew taller. Yet, Ji Jun came along and touched her head again. Yu Han was a little angry, so she stuffed the piece of garlic pork belly into his bowl.
Seeing that Ji Jun really ate that piece of meat without batting an eyelid, everyone at the table was stunned. He Yu had clearly prepared his favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for him, but he rejected her on the grounds that he wanted to maintain his figure. However, he turned around and ate a large piece of pork belly without blinking. Most importantly, this piece of meat was plucked out of Yu Han’s bowl.
He Yu gripped her chopsticks tightly. Her face was red as she bit her lip and did not speak.
Sun Li sized up the two of them a few times. “The two of you are quite close. It doesn’t look like you’re just repaying a favor.”
These words sounded a little off. The radar above Yu Han’s head sounded. “The elders of our families happen to know each other, so it’s inevitable that we’re closer.”
Bai Chao was enlightened. “No wonder you were at his house the day before yesterday, Little Yu.” At that time, he found it strange that Yu Han had pulled in investments from Ji Jun. He had forgotten about this because he had been tortured by Ji Jun for the past two days.
Yu Han choked. Old Bai, you can choose to keep quiet if you don’t know how to speak. Wouldn’t that make her relationship with Ji Jun even more suspicious once he said that?
“I happen to have something to ask of Teacher Ji!” Yu Han gave Bai Chao a look, telling him to stop talking.
Ji Jun had already mentioned previously that they should not tell anyone about his investment in this movie. Hence, when Bai Chao saw Yu Han’s signal, he immediately understood. He thought that she was reminding him not to let it slip, so he sensibly shut his mouth.
However, it was actually not very useful for him to shut up after he said that.
He Yu glared at Yu Han, then threw her chopsticks aside and stood up. “I’m sorry, I have to excuse myself.”
Yu Han only realized what was going on after He Yu glared at her. She glared at Ji Jun unhappily. “You’re using me as a shield!”
Ji Jun looked innocent. “What shield? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yu Han was so angry that she placed her hand under the table and punched him twice. “Hmph, you’re the one who attracted all the trouble. You can settle them yourself.” Why was he dragging her into this?
Ji Jun pressed her head down. “You didn’t have such an attitude when you begged me to invest in you.”
Yu Han was like a deflated balloon when he said that. Half of the anger in her heart dissipated unwillingly. She muttered, “With your attitude, I think you’ll be single for 10,000 years.”
Ji Jun paused. “You’re just a child. Why are you so concerned? Go eat your food.”
Yu Han pursed her lips. What’s there to eat? I’m full of anger.
Yuan Fei, who was at the side, bit her chopsticks and did not dare to speak. Seeing that the awkward atmosphere had finally passed, she heaved a sigh of relief and whispered into Yu Han’s ear, “I’m going to the washroom.”
Yu Han waved her hand weakly. “Go, go.”
Yuan Fei came out of the washroom and was touching up her makeup in the mirror. When she looked up, she saw He Yu leaning against the door and looking at her.
She immediately turned around and called out obediently, “Teacher He.”
He Yu sized up her from head to toe. “You have long arms and legs, and your posture is smooth. You have a dancing background, right?”
He Yu’s attitude had been quite arrogant since she appeared. She did not care about small fries like them at all. Now that she suddenly came up to her, Yuan Fei did not know what she was up to. She could only answer honestly, “Yes, I’ve been learning folk dance since I was five years old.”
He Yu clapped her hands. “You’re just right.”
Yuan Fei was confused. “Right for what?”
“Don’t tell me you really think that Director Sun suddenly came to treat us to a meal?” He Yu sneered. “Something happened to the third female lead of our production team. He suddenly came over when he was just about to choose a new role. He must be thinking of choosing someone from your production team to replace her.”
Yuan Fei’s eyes lit up. Sun Li was a famous director in the country, so it was a rare opportunity to be the third female lead in his film, especially for an unknown actress like Yuan Fei.
“There are many fighting scenes for that role. It’s just right if you know how to dance.” He Yu changed the topic. “But seeing how familiar Yu Han and God Ji are, I’m afraid he will ask the director to let Yu Han act.”
She saw Yuan Fei’s eyes darken and continued, “After all, connections in this industry are much more important than ability.”
