Rong City’s Lu family, it was a super family inside the setting of Siyu’s original manhua.

Lu family history stretched over several hundred years and had a deep foundation. But, it was extremely low-profile to the public,  outsiders were hardly able to get a glimpse of the whole thing. Everyone only knew that the Lu family had an unshakable business kingdom but didn’t know that they also had extensive connections in the military and political circles. All of the Lu family’s children were wealthy and respectable people. It’s unknown how many people want to show their faces in front of the Lu family.

It’s just that in Siyu’s 《Superstar Pampered Marriage》, Ji Lin was the male protagonist. So, the story also revolved around Ji Lin’s journey in the entertainment circle. The matter about Lu family was merely something that she mentioned briefly and in the original work…. It was just background knowledge, nothing was developed in detail.

In recent years, the Lu family that was originally devoted towards business has started to quietly expand into the entertainment circle. The Xingfei Company that Ji Lin had signed with was bought by Huanyi, a new company backed by the Lu family.


Although Huanyi was a new company, it was being backed by the Lu family. At the very least, it didn’t need to worry about money or connections. This suggestion from Yu Ling, actually made Siyu begin to consider the idea.

Siyu remembered, at that time the original body was inexperienced and was cheated by an unlicensed model company to sign an unfair five-year contract. Want to terminate the contract? Either work for the full five years and let the company exploit her enough, or compensate 30 million! Not even a cent less!

30 million! Siyu clicked her tongue. Where could she obtain so much money in such a short period? Unless she sold her body—— However, with her listless and sick appearance, no one would take a fancy.

Thinking of this, Siyu looked at Yu Ling and said with a sincere tone: “Ling-jie, I know you’re doing it for my own good. Thank you, I will consider it. “

Yu Ling had thought that she would agree immediately. After all, this kind of good opportunity was not available every day. Jumping over to Huanyi was certainly better than staying with this small broken talent agency, right?

“ Then, the audition for the MV…..” Yu Ling asked.

 


“ I’ll think about it. “ Siyu answered ambiguously.

Siyu was honestly embarrassed to ask whether she was allowed to not go. In the original manhua, Ji Lin secretly arranged in this audition to give the female lead role to Zhou Siyu, knocking out several other strong competitors. One of the competitors was a member of a well-known female group. When the audition was over, this person posted several meaningful sentences on Weibo. All the fans were angry and continuously declaring that there was something shady about the audition.

Of course, this matter would not just die down like this if Zhou Siyu had done well in the shooting. However, she was an amateur and the shooting was a mess. Not only did it make people believe in the conjectures of “ if she could get this opportunity with that kind of skill, she definitely got through using the back door”, but also nearly ruining Ji Lin’s highly anticipated new album.

When Ji Lin’s fans saw that the MV for the cover song turned out to be like this, who would be fooled? The fans were naturally unwilling to blame their idol, so they unanimously pointed their finger at Zhou Siyu and cyber manhunt her. All the abuse fell on her alone.

In the end, it was Ji Lin who looked after his sister, proactively taking the blame. He suppressed the public opinion; thus, the disturbance was temporarily stopped. However, because Ji Lin’s movement to protect Zhou Siyu was too obvious, everyone began to imagine the relationship between the two and there were all kinds of outrageous speculations. As a result, although on the surface the matter about the MV had passed, Zhou Siyu was promptly blacklisted by Ji Lin’s fans. From then on, they didn’t take too kindly to her.

Zhou Siyu, who was originally sensitive and felt inferior. After this time, she started to resent Ji Lin, especially after knowing that Ji Lin was her half-brother; the huge difference between them drove her crazy….

Siyu sighed. She certainly couldn’t let Yu Ling know about these things. She also didn’t want to follow Zhou Siyu’s old path. You’ve got to know that Ji Lin’s female fans are crazy if you offended them….Don’t even think about living well.

After they finished discussing, Siyu left Yu Ling’s office and was thinking about taking the lift down. Who would have expected that as soon as the lift opened, she saw that there were already several people standing inside. Standing in the front of the group was a youth dressed in a punk outfit, wearing metal accessories, looking down at the phone he was playing on—— It was Ji Lin who had just finished filming an advertisement.

Sensing that the lift stopped, Ji Lin reluctantly took his eyes off the phone and looked up to the door. With this one glance, he was completely dumbstruck.

Siyu had looked Ji Lin up before and naturally recognized him. Seeing Ji Lin’s baffled expression, she proactively took a step back. She motioned for them to go first as she waited for the next one.

“I- It’s okay….” Ji Lin forestalled and raised his hand to press the ‘open’ button. As soon as he spoke, he realized that he was unexpectedly so anxious that he stammered a bit. He hurriedly coughed, his gaze fixed to the ground as he continued, “Come in, there’s not a lot of people here anyway. “

Assistant Xiao Ai, who was standing behind Ji Lin, immediately couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

Don’t think that she didn’t hear the excitement in Ji Lin’s voice,  isn’t it just meeting with a girl face to face? Does he really have to forget himself like this? Xiao Ai felt like she was an old mother worrying about her own son who was fascinated by a beauty.

Seeing that Ji Lin insisted, Siyu didn’t act pretentious. She calmly thanked him and stepped in.

Compared to Ji Lin’s secret glances, Siyu was much calmer.

After all, Ji Lin could be regarded as her own son that she (as author) had created. What’s wrong with seeing him?

However, Siyu didn’t know, at this moment Ji Lin’s inner heart had long become unsettled…..

This was his sister…. And it’s the sister who he never met before in his life, the sister who he wouldn’t have known even existed if it had not been for an unintentional leak from Ji family’s old housemaid, ah…..

At first, Ji Lin could still restrain himself, only stealthily looking at the person next to him. Then he became bolder and bolder, his view was nearly fixed on Siyu’s side profile. While looking at her, he wondered why Siyu looked so pale. Was she not eating well or not sleeping well? Is she still seriously ill? What kind of medicine should he buy for her later? If he wanted to send it, in what manner should it be sent?

Unwittingly, little young master Ji’s thoughts had already gone astray, jubilantly making plans for his elder sister’s health for the next five years.

It’s not strange that Ji Lin thought over it a lot. He was really frightened the last time Siyu vomited blood. In the past, he only read from the data that Siyu had poor health. That day was the first time he actually realized that Siyu’s physique was truly poor. On top of that, she was as fragile as a thin piece of paper,  shattering with just a little bit of force.

Ji Lin’s family financial circumstances were excellent. However, from childhood until now, he had never experienced any familial love. Father Fu was a successful businessman and was very busy. The time he spent at home in a year was less than one month; moreover, Ji Lin was intelligent and matured early. Since long ago, he knew that his father kept enough mistresses outside to form a football team. The reason why there hasn’t been any appearance of an illegitimate child who could shake his position was purely because Father Fu’s body had a physical defect. He was the only son his father would ever have in his life.
 

As for his mother…. Ji Lin smiled sarcastically. It should be said that his and Siyu’s mother was a qualified rich man’s wife, but not a qualified mother. It seemed like it was her life-long mission to marry into a rich and powerful family. To achieve this, she wouldn’t even hesitate to abandon her own biological daughter. When she had achieved what she wanted with the child in her belly, she also threw this “tool”, Ji Lin, to the back of her mind. She went to various kinds of get-togethers every day. She was hardly home, not to mention raising  Ji Lin up——that’s naturally the nanny’s job.

The so-called ‘family’ was nothing much.

Therefore, no one knew how happy Ji Lin was when he coincidentally discovered that he still had a blood-related elder sister. He dreamed of having an ordinary family member who could occasionally care for him. No need to be concerned too much, just don’t treat him as nothing. It’s such an easy request, yet his parents never fulfilled it.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin’s eyes dimmed. But, when his gaze fell upon Siyu, his eyes brightened again.

Ji Lin had already heard from Yu Ling about Siyu’s perseverance in doing the shooting in spite of her illness. He thought with pride that it was no wonder that they were siblings. Their attitude towards their work was exactly the same. So, Siyu would definitely accept him as her little brother!

Young Master Ji nodded in his heart with mysterious confidence.

And as the party receiving this scorching gaze, Siyu suddenly felt a chill down her back and shivered involuntarily.

This subtle movement was immediately caught by Ji Lin who had been keeping an eye on her.

In the next second, Siyu felt a shadow over her. Then a leather jacket carrying the owner’s body temperature was draped over her shoulders, enveloping her figure.

Siyu looked up in astonishment. However,  this “Fellow Lei Feng1” had already withdrawn his hand and pulled his gaze away, appearing very serious. 


Realizing that Siyu looked over, Young Master Ji couldn’t restrain the corner of his lips from rising. But his mouth still stubbornly assumed an indifferent manner: “If you’re cold, then you should wear more.  I’ll give you this coat, you don’t need to return it. “

Siyu: …..But it’s summer and she’s hot.

At this moment, the lift reached the ground floor .Once the door opened, Ji Lin acted as if he was trying to hide something, taking the first step out and waving his hand at Siyu without looking back.  The posture was very natural and unrestrained.

…….if you overlooked the fact that he was walking with the same hand and foot.

Siyu, who was left behind, suddenly felt a little bit worried: This kid… Couldn’t be a fool, right?

As soon as he left Siyu’s line of sight, Ji Lin couldn’t help smiling. Xiao Ai who witnessed the whole scene saw this and whispered: “Ji-ge, do you know what you look like right now? “

Ji Lin came to his senses and asked: “ Look like what? ”

Xiao Ai said: “ Like a male peacock that had opened wide its tail and still wants to force its wings into the face of others2. “

 

Ji Lin: “……” Ning Xiao Ai, you don’t want your six months’ salary anymore, do you? !

1: Lei Feng – a model of altruism and dedication to others. For those who don’t know, Altruism is the belief or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well being of others.

2: all in all, Xiao Ai was saying that Ji Lin was showing-off too much, too narcissistic, etc. My fellow translator said it’s like if a guy comes to the date in a fancy car to impress the girl, but then he starts pressing on the horn as well, which is just… too much.
 

Riel: Oh poor little Ji Lin, you try to act cool but people thought you’re a fool ( ^▽^)σ)~O~). But worry not! This humble person will support you!
P.S.  After all, you’ve made me laugh for the day!  ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Daed: Our dear little foolish siscon peacock super cool idol ML, everyone.
