Lin Daiyu's Battle in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 45
In the end, Lin Daiyu still went to meet Xiao Zexi.
The car stopped at the school gate.
It was an inconspicuous van.
It was impossible to see inside from the outside.
Daiyu was not fully armed with sunglasses, a mask, or a hat.
In fact,
She felt that it would be more obvious. It was obvious that she had specially dressed up.
It was hard not to be suspicious.
She was just like an ordinary girl. When she went out, she held an umbrella.
Her hair, which she usually tied up, was down and draped naturally over her shoulders. She wore a thin mask and walked out of the school gate without any obstruction.
No one would suspect that such an ordinary outfit was Lin Daiyu.
After all, the weather was hot.
Not to mention girls, even many boys who liked to look good would bring an umbrella when they went out.
Out of the school gate.
There were many cars parked at the parking lot. Daiyu picked up Xiao Zexi's call and followed his instructions to find the ordinary van.
She was speechless.
She stood in front of it and the car door opened from the inside. Daiyu looked at Xiao Zexi's bright and smiling face and quietly got into the car.
Xiao Zexi revealed his big white teeth.
He was very happy.
"Let's go eat first, okay?"
Seeing Daiyu nod,
He drove away.
Daiyu looked at his familiar face.
She thought that cars were indeed a man's hobby. After all, in her impression, Xiao Zexi rarely drove. However, at this moment, he seemed extremely skilled.
Xiao Zexi parked the car in a residential area. Daiyu was puzzled. "Didn't you say we were going to eat?" This was clearly a residential area!
Xiao Zexi smiled. "You'll know when we get there."
As he spoke, he made a call. The gate in front opened. He drove the car in and parked it properly before opening the car door. Like a little eunuch, he reached out his hand to help Daiyu out of the car.
A middle-aged woman greeted them. She looked round and kind. She invited them into the house and brought them to a reserved private room.
However, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Zexi's hand that was supporting Daiyu.
She thought to herself that the rumors on the internet were indeed not credible. After all, apart from a small number of people who believed that Xiao Zexi was pursuing Sister Lin, the rest of the people on the internet were just looking at it as a conspiracy.
With Xiao Zexi's status and background, it would be a piece of cake for him to get a female celebrity!
Who would spend so much effort to pursue her?
What's more, he hadn't managed to woo her yet?
There were even some with dark thoughts. They felt that although they were courting each other on the surface, the two of them had already been secretly together. Didn't they see that Lin Daiyu's resources had improved by more than half?
However, looking at Xiao Zexi's courteous and timid manner and Sister Lin's calm and generous attitude, she wondered if what Xiao Zexi said was true. Was he pursuing Sister Lin and she hadn't accepted him yet?
Xiao Zexi didn't think that he was a coward at all. He was so happy that he wanted to bubble from being able to help the girl he liked. As for Daiyu, it was because she had always been like this in her previous life. She was always surrounded by maids and servants. It was only natural that someone would help her up when she got up.
However, Xiao Zexi was the only person in this world who was so careful.
This was a private restaurant that served authentic Beijing cuisine. They only served familiar and frequent customers. The chubby woman just now was the owner of this restaurant.
The two of them arrived at the private room and ordered their dishes. When there was no one around, Daiyu raised her eyebrows. "You asked me out. You can say what you wanted to say now."
Xiao Zexi frowned bitterly. "…" I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to see you.
"Say it!"
Daiyu didn't have the patience to deal with him. Especially here, the private room was decorated elegantly and the surroundings were quiet. Only the man in front of her could smell his breath. Daiyu suppressed her pounding heart. She could almost hear it echoing in her ears.
She had to end this quickly.
Xiao Zexi looked as if he had suffered a blow. "I … I just wanted to see you. I wanted to see if you were doing well."
Daiyu replied dryly, "I'm doing well."
"Are you still angry?" Xiao Zexi looked at her.
"Why would I be angry?"
Daiyu didn't know how to react. She saw Xiao Zexi's ears turn red. She was sharp-eyed and immediately thought of the soft kiss from the other day.
She took a sip of water but choked and coughed violently. Xiao Zexi was shocked. He quickly went to her side and tried to calm her down. "Drink slowly. I won't snatch it from you."
Daiyu finally stopped coughing. She glared at him. "I'm not angry. Why should I be angry?"
Xiao Zexi's eyes lit up. She added, "Just take it that you were bitten by a puppy. What's there to be angry about?"
After saying that, she looked at Xiao Zexi with a cold smile. Xiao Zexi looked at her and didn't say anything. Daiyu was embarrassed. Only then did she hear Xiao Zexi say softly, "Then can the puppy take another bite?" As long as he could kiss her, it didn't matter if it was a kitten or a puppy.
Didn't the great man say that no matter if it was a black cat or a white cat, it was a good cat as long as it could catch mice?
Daiyu was speechless. She was defeated by his shamelessness once again. "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
Xiao Zexi was speechless.
Of course, Xiao Zexi didn't get what he wanted. Daiyu didn't even talk to him after dinner because of his poor performance. Xiao Zexi was so anxious that he scratched his head. He couldn't understand what girls were thinking!
She was the one who said that the puppy had bitten her. Why would she be angry if he went along with what she said?
Seeing that Daiyu was about to go back to school, Xiao Zexi pulled her back. "When can we meet again?"
"… No!" Why should she meet him again?
Lecher!
Xiao Zexi could only try his best to please her. She didn't want to sentence him!
In the end, when Daiyu was about to go back to school, she finally snorted coldly to show that she was unhappy and that she would be lenient with him.
"Go back. Don't look for me if there's nothing!"
Xiao Zexi's eyes lit up. "So I can look for you if there's anything?"
Daiyu was speechless. Was that the point?
She waved her hand. "Go. It won't be good if someone sees you."
Xiao Zexi looked at her until she disappeared from his sight. There was still a silly smile on his face.
Love could change people. He wouldn't even think about doing something like this in the past. But now, he was doing it for a girl.
Daiyu returned to the dormitory. Her roommate asked her, "Where have you been?
Have you eaten? "
Daiyu's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "I did."
"I've put the book I borrowed on your bed. Read it yourself.
I'll return it when you're done. "Her roommate was a friendly person.
Daiyu nodded. "Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal next time!"
Her roommate's eyes lit up. She was a foodie, but she didn't have much money. If Daiyu treated her to a meal, it should be more expensive, right?!
She could eat her fill!
As they were talking, Daiyu's phone rang. She picked it up and was speechless. It was Xiao Zexi.
"What?" Daiyu's tone was disgusted, but she couldn't stop smiling.
"May I ask if you've arrived?"
"Yes, I'm here!"
"That's good!"
Xiao Zexi said a few more words before hanging up the phone. He drove back to the studio, picked up the schedule, and flipped through it. When was he free? He was thinking about where to go on the next date. Daiyu didn't seem to have eaten much today.
Although she had a small appetite, she would eat more if she liked something. Obviously, Daiyu wasn't like that.
The female celebrities in the industry had small appetites. They were those who purposely created a "foodie" persona. They would eat in front of the camera happily, and their methods of losing weight in private were extremely extreme.
Seeing Daiyu eat so little, his heart ached. Fortunately, Daiyu wouldn't lose weight so crazily. This was all thanks to her physique. She wouldn't gain weight no matter how much she ate, but her appetite was really small.
It seemed like he had to change places next time.
With that thought, Xiao Zexi took out a piece of paper and a pen. He crossed out the private restaurant he had marked on the paper. He would go to another restaurant next time.
The days passed quickly when one was studying hard. Soon, it was winter. It snowed for the first time, and it was so cold that one couldn't help but shiver. Daiyu put on a thick down jacket too.
Some time ago, she shot a magazine cover. It was one of the top four covers for Chinese New Year. The sales of the magazine were very good, and the magazine company even made an appointment to publish it for Chinese New Year.
It was almost the end of the semester. Daiyu felt that she had been quite serious in her studies this semester. It was just that she had become a homebody. In her previous life, she was trapped in the backyard. Other than Baoyu, she rarely saw other men. Daiyu felt that all the men she hadn't seen in her previous life might have been moved to this life!
She could meet people with ulterior motives anywhere, regardless of whether they were fans or suitors. Perhaps being famous also had its troubles. Anyway, Daiyu didn't want to go out casually.
At this moment, Daiyu received a call from Grandma Lin. Grandma Lin said that there was a guest at home and asked her to come back to meet them.
Daiyu frowned. Grandma's tone didn't sound right. What kind of guest was it that Grandma would personally ask her to meet them?
And she had to come back?
Grandma Lin was very hardworking in her studies.
Daiyu had a faint guess in her heart.
When she reached home, she opened the door with her key. Daiyu only opened the door a little. After listening for a long time, she didn't hear anything. She had to make some noise to signal that someone was coming.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
As she shouted, Daiyu changed into slippers and entered the house. Then, in an instant, she saw a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.
She had a pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes. In fact, she was as elegant as orchids and chrysanthemums. Her hair was tied up high. She looked about thirty years old, like a noble lady who had walked out of an ancient painting.
When she saw Daiyu, her sharp eyes swept over her like knives.
Seeing that Daiyu was frightened, the woman covered her mouth and laughed. "Yu Er, you've grown so big?"
Daiyu made a sound of agreement. She calmly looked at the woman in front of her. If she wasn't mistaken, she should be Lin Daiyu's mother in this life. Their faces were quite similar, but Lin Daiyu was a pure lily. This woman in front of her was a graceful and elegant camellia.
Grandma's eyes were red. Obviously, she had cried. She beckoned Daiyu over. Daiyu obediently went over. Grandma pointed to her. "Come, Yu Er. This is your mother, Lin Jia."
Daiyu: "…" It's my fault for being so smart. I already thought of it.
Was she supposed to cry and apologize? Daiyu couldn't do it!
She could only look at Lin Jia expressionlessly. Lin Jia was obviously the same. Her sharp eyes looked at Daiyu as if she was evaluating an item.
