Chapter 237

On the way back to Lingyu's house, He Lele flipped through the news on her phone. Du Wei was going to hold a press conference on November 25th, which was tomorrow, to clarify some recent rumors. Seeing this, He Lele couldn't help but be stunned.

Is it already the 25th? Sister Qingfeng said Qinya would be coming at the end of the month, so it should be soon, right?

In the entertainment industry, how much truth is there? Is what the reporters break the truth? Every time I see various gossip revelations, Jiangshan wonders, even my parents and best friends don't necessarily know my thoughts, my mood, or what I've actually done. How can those big shots who break the news be so sure who did what?

So, basically, I have no feeling for gossip now. It's more fun to hold it and watch it like a joke……

☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 259: I'll Go With You

"Lingyu, dinner's ready." He Lele pushed open the door and happened to see Ren Lingyu hurriedly closing her laptop. "What's wrong?"

"Cough cough……" Ren Lingyu paused slightly. "I thought it was my mom. You know."

He Lele chuckled. "Watching it before dinner isn't good for digestion, right? Let's go, let's eat first. After eating, I'll come and see what new anime is out."

"Hehe……"

After He Lele turned around, Ren Lingyu quickly opened the computer, staring at the screen with a grave expression, her fingers flying across the keyboard. It took a while before she finished the operation just before He Lele opened the door again.

"Coming, coming."

On the morning of the 25th, news reported that the legal representative and several senior executives of Hong X Yuan Real Estate in the city had been arrested yesterday for suspected financial fraud, and Hong X Yuan immediately applied for bankruptcy.

Because it was an expected event, neither Ren Lingyu nor He Lele had much of a reaction. He Lele made a call to Season, stating that she no longer needed bodyguards to follow her. She was now living at Lingyu's place, where community management was stricter, and having bodyguards waiting outside all the time easily aroused the neighbors' suspicions.

"That's fine too. You have work in the morning, right? Ruan Lin said he'd come to pick you up later."

"Ah? Season—"

"Hmm?"

"Ruan Lin, he… you…"

"……That guy is stubborn. If you don't accept him, he won't let us have any peace either. Let him be."

Let him be……

Turning her head to look at Ruan Lin, who was wearing a silicone mask in the driver's seat, He Lele kept thinking about Season's words, "Let him be." Let him be?

"No matter how long it takes, no matter how many years, I will never give up. Even so, are you still going to run away?"

"Even if I only ask you to look at me occasionally, are you still going to run away?"

Let… let him be.

She was too tired of running.

"What's wrong? Not used to looking at me?" Ruan Lin took a moment to glance at her and asked.

"No… Du Wei is holding a press conference today. You, what do you plan to do?"

"Me? I'm holding one too."

When Ruan Lin appeared at New X again, the way people looked at him was significantly different from the previous two times. The young movie star, whose image had once been so positive that no one could compare, had undergone a breathtaking image transformation in just ten days. From a gentle, approachable, clean-living perfect gentleman to an irritable, woman-hitting, classless man—this reversal was really a bit like the multiple-personality character he played back then. No wonder he could win the Best Actor award; it turned out he was playing himself!

Seeing Ruan Lin walk calmly through the various expressions of the crowd, He Lele couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart……

At noon, after Ruan Lin's dubbing task was finished, Wu Ming brought an assistant and a bodyguard to pick up Ruan Lin. He Lele stood in the corridor, blankly watching the group walk into the elevator.

What exactly was waiting for Ruan Lin?

Was it worth it? Was it worth it?

The moment the elevator door closed, He Lele rushed toward the stairs.

"Ruan Lin!"

Ruan Lin, who was just about to get into the nanny van, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and only confirmed it wasn't an auditory hallucination when he saw Wu Ming beside him turn his head.

He turned around slowly.

"I'll go with you."

After a while, the man's jewel-like, alluring eyes overflowed with cloying deep affection and a smile.

Peony Hotel, Xiang Hall.

"Du Wei, may I ask if Ruan Lin really used violence against you three days ago?"

"What is Qin Zhixiu's attitude toward this matter?"

"It is rumored that Ruan Lin's current girlfriend is the third party between you and Ruan Lin. Is this true?"

Major media outlets gathered at the press conference of a third-tier newcomer. Du Wei sneered in her heart at this treatment. She knew it! No one—not the company, not Qin Zhixiu, not her aunt—could be relied upon! To gain a foothold in this industry, she could only rely on herself! Rely on herself to seize every opportunity to become famous, even if it meant stepping on others to climb up!

"First of all, I want to clarify that Qin Zhixiu and I were just neighbors when we were children. My parents took good care of him, and he only came to my house to visit my sick father. As for three days ago—"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ruan Lin is upstairs!"

"Ah? Where, where?"

"In the Rui Hall! The press conference starts in ten minutes, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"What? Xiao Qiao, hurry, hurry!"

"Then over here……"

"Uh… Du Wei, we'll come back down later! Xiao Qiao, hurry! If we go late, there won't be any good spots!"

Thirty seconds later, the Xiang Hall was swept clean like a windstorm, and it was empty.

"Weiwei……" Du Mei called out cautiously.

"Ahhh—" Du Wei screamed in a frenzy halfway through, but a cameraman carrying a camera ran back into the entrance. Du Wei hurriedly changed her face and smiled again.

"Uh… sorry, sorry!" The cameraman picked up his gloves and ran out again.

"……" Du Wei took a deep breath. "Ahhhhhhhh!"

Rui Hall, almost the same conference hall layout, exactly the same major media reporters and photographers, but in just over ten minutes, the artist holding the press conference had changed as if by magic.

"Ruan Lin, may I ask what exactly happened at the C City TV station three days ago?"

"When did you and your girlfriend meet?"

"I heard that Liang Ge still hasn't been discharged from the hospital. How do you view this issue?"

"Is your girlfriend in the industry? Do you have any plans to get married?"

Wu Ming looked at Ruan Lin's calm expression and stood up to signal the reporters to sit down first.

When the whole hall finally quieted down, Ruan Lin slowly stood up.

"One, I hit the person, and if it happened again, I would still take action; two, relationship issues are my private business; three, I am indeed not a gentleman."

One sentence stunned the whole room. Seeing Ruan Lin preparing to leave the stage after speaking, the reporters' minds went blank! What, what is this situation!

"Clap clap clap!" Crisp applause rang out suddenly. "Brother, I really do like your arrogant look the best."

Two, two Ruan Lins?

Micro-theater:

L: "Hurry and let me appear."

Jiangshan: "There's no opportunity, look, even Shentu isn't in a hurry."

Shentu: "Oh? I'm 'not' in a hurry?"

Jiangshan: "Uh… put down the knife! Put down the brick too! Help!"

☆, (9 Fresh Coins) Chapter 260: Game Rules

Wu Ming was also stunned for a moment. He knew Ruan Lin had a younger brother named Ruan Ling, but he didn't know they were twins!

The reporters who had come to their senses frantically raised their cameras to press the shutter, and the cameramen switched back and forth to get close-ups.

"Ling? Why did you come over?"

"To settle accounts with you!" Ruan Ling's cold eyes swept over the media, and his sharp momentum made the excited reporters freeze immediately, and the cameramen taking close-ups shook their hands in unison.

"What?" Ruan Lin frowned.

Ruan Ling waved his hand, and two disheveled men were pushed out by men in black who looked like bodyguards.

Several gasps sounded in the reporter group, because almost all the entertainment reporters in the city knew these two people—the most famous paparazzi in the city! These two were the ones who had stolen the photos of Ruan Lin and his girlfriend!

"Does this country have no concept of privacy, or is the media in this country above the law?" Ruan Ling threw the newspaper in his hand onto the backs of the two paparazzi.

"I don't care what kind of game rules you have in the entertainment industry, but those who infringe on my rights had better have the strength to confront my legal team, as well as the financial resources to confront my Ruan family."

Peony Hotel, VIP room box.

Although He Lele followed Ruan Lin to the hotel, she didn't go to the Rui Hall venue. After all, being stalked at home was one thing, but appearing in front of the media herself would be asking for exposure.
