Chapter 77: Can't go to jail

After filming this day, Lu Zhanyan didn't have time to go back to the company to change clothes, so he hurried to the meeting place. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

It was a small shop that they used to frequent, near the middle school where they studied together.

In the summer. Just eat ice there, and when it comes to winter, the sandwiches there are absolutely delicious.

Not only is it cheap and good, but the owner is friendly and welcoming, which is their favorite leisure place.

When Lu Zhanyan rushed to the shop. Xu Jing has arrived.

She was chatting with her boss, laughing and laughing happily.

"You're really amazing, you went abroad to study! No wonder I haven't seen you in a long time! The owner was smiling and complimenting while making the food.

Xu Jing stood at the counter, her little face bright and bright.

Ding dong----

The crisp bell rang, Xu Jing subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see a beautiful and dazzling figure.

Lu Zhanyan wore a dark purple coat. It was paired with a black irregular sweater, jeans, and knee-length black boots. Carrying a fashionable bag in patent leather. She gasped slightly, her long hair fell down, her face without makeup was plain and clear, the pair of glasses was withdrawn, and she was replaced with a purple streamlined shape, which was very quiet and temperamental. Her eyes were on her, and she pulled a smile at her, but the whole person was so bright.

Xu Jing was stunned, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

Xu Jing knew very early on that Lu Zhanyan was actually very beautiful, but in the past, she was dressed old-fashioned and did not have the slightest sense of beauty. And now. It's just been half a year away, and she has changed. It's no longer the lifeless girl she used to be, she's become so bright.

Lu Zhanyan waved at her, "It's me!" ”

"Show your face......" Xu Jing came back to her senses, but she hadn't adapted yet.

"Your friend is here?" The boss took the finished sandwich out of the microwave, looked back, and smiled in surprise, "Huh? Is this your friend? The one you've been coming with all along? ”

"Uncle, it's been a long time since I've been here." Lu Zhanyan approached to say hello.

"Ahh Your changes are so big, even bigger than Xiao Xu......"

The boss said a few words to her, Xu Jing just quietly served the plate, and the two came to the old position and sat down. It's winter vacation and the school is closed, so it's deserted.

But the sun shines brightly, shining through the glass. Warm.

Lu Zhanyan looked at Xu Jing opposite, and said with a smile, "Tell me about your life abroad." ”

Xu Jing held a fragrant hot drink and began to tell the scenery of another country.

Ottawa, Canada, where she went to college. It is one of the oldest universities in Canada. Ottawa's summers are wet and rainy, and winters are dry and cold, with a great seasonal contrast. The city is full of tulips and has the reputation of the City of Tulips......

Listening to her careful storytelling, Lu Zhanyan only felt very calm and peaceful.

Xu Jing touched the cup lightly and asked softly, "What about you?" What's the matter with you? ”

Her current outfit is not cheap!

Lu Zhanyan raised his eyes and smiled, and said in a softer voice, "Xu Jing, I'm making a movie now." ”

"Huh?" Xu Jing was stunned again.

"Some inconsistencies and relationships have entered this circle."

Xu Jing was a little dizzy, but it was only half a year, and it turned out that the person who had changed the most was not herself, but her......

"The film and television industry should be very chaotic, does Song Wencheng know? He agrees? ”

"He's abroad, I don't know. However, he didn't need to agree. ”

"Why?" Xu Jing was confused.

Lu Zhanyan was silent and said lightly, "He's engaged." ”

These days, Song Wencheng seems to have disappeared from her life. But it turns out that when he is mentioned, there will still be a trace of pain.

After Xu Jing learned that she was filming a movie, she couldn't help but be curious, so she begged Lu Zhanyan to take her to the set to have a look. Lu Zhanyan asked the agent, looked for a day, and brought her here. was about to start filming in a while, Lu Zhanyan turned around and said, "You just watch here, don't walk around, it's not good to bump into any machine." ”

Xu Jing said, "Don't worry, I'll stand here." ”

Lu Zhanyan nodded, heard the director shouting, and hurried over.

There was a sound from the clapperboard, and the scene was filmed.

The director, the screenwriter, the crew, and the camera machines that switch angles at any time. In that shot, it was the focus of attention, and Lu Zhanyan was acting. Xu Jing has never been to the set in person, nor has she watched it so closely, but at this moment, she feels that Lu Zhanyan is very far away.

That sense of remoteness, as if they were no longer on the same starting line.

"Miss Lu's acting skills are good." The assistant next to him praised.

"Very good." Xu Jing answered.

"Although Miss Lu has only just debuted, she is really powerful. The previous "Glass Slipper" was popular, and Yi Ran, who played later, also brought a trend, and the advertising film appointments continued. Now this play, after it is screened, it should be very good......"

The assistant's muttered female voice came, and Xu Jing said softly, "She has always been excellent." ”

At halftime, it was time for the break.

At lunchtime, the assistant opened the sushi he had bought, "Miss Lu is so kind to you, she specially asked me to buy it, saying that you like to eat it." ”

Xu Jing said with a smile, "We are good friends. ”

"Zhan Yan, can you eat some too?" Xu Jing turned her head to look at Lu Zhanyan.

Lu Zhanyan was busy touching up her makeup, "No, Xu Jing, you can eat first." ”

The assistant couldn't bear to complain, "It's all that Miss Jenny!" I deliberately delay time every time, obviously my acting skills are so bad......"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Lu Zhanyan stopped softly and interrupted her.

Xu Jing watched Lu Zhanyan get up and walk to the set, and the fox asked, "What's wrong with that Miss Zhenni?" ”

The assistant shouted for Lu Zhanyan, "Miss Lu used to be a stand-in for her, but now that Miss Lu is popular, of course she is unbalanced." Hey, don't blame her, Miss Lu is so good, it won't be long before she will become popular, maybe she can become an international superstar, don't you say? ”

Xu Jing nodded, "En." ”

The assistant was packing up her things, Xu Jing looked up, and saw her putting a watch into the storage box casually.

"This watch ......," Xu Jing shouted.

"Oh, this? Miss Lu shouldn't want it, I'll let it go first. ”

Xu Jing only looked at the box being covered and didn't speak again.

was busy until the evening, and when it was time to leave, the investor Xia Dong came.

Lu Zhanyan was about to leave, but Xia Dong stopped her, "Miss Lu, I don't know if I'm free tonight?" I'd like to treat you to a meal. ”

"I'm sorry, Xia Dong, my friend has come back from abroad, and I want to accompany her. Xia Dong, I'll go first. Lu Zhanyan refused with a smile, hurriedly pulled Xu Jing and got into the car. Every day off.

"Zhanyan, who was that person just now?" Xu Jing asked.

"Investors in this film."

"Huh? Is there really so many unspoken rules in this circle? ”

Lu Zhan smiled and glanced out the window.

Inexplicably, a handsome face suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, she lowered her eyes to avoid the blurry image, and frowned slightly.

Why think of him......

After that, Xia Dong invited several times, but Lu Zhanyan refused to reads every time.

Wang Xin said, "Zhanyan, you can't always refuse, after all, he is an investor." I think there are some entertainments, so I still have to cooperate. ”

Lu Zhanyan said, "Mr. Xin, it doesn't matter how tired you are at work, but in terms of entertainment, I really don't fit in." ”

Wang Xin also knew her temperament, although she was embarrassed, she was not reluctant.

In fact, Lu Zhanyan really doesn't have much time to spare, and he is already very busy filming. The occasional little time was all reserved for Xu Jing. On this day, they made an appointment to have dinner together, Lu Zhanyan changed into his usual simple clothes, took off his makeup and tied his ponytail, and put on his bulky black-framed glasses before to go to the appointment.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Xu Jing was quite confused when she saw that she had changed to the same way she used to be.

Lu Zhanyan hooked her wrist and said, "It's more convenient." ”

Xu Jing understands that she is now a star, but she is afraid that she will be recognized.

Lu Zhanyan said again, "And it's also more comfortable." ”

The two walked around the street for a while, but Xu Jing was a little absent-minded.

"Xu Jing, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhanyan noticed her strangeness and asked with concern.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry, invite me to dinner, big star." First of all, it's not a high-end restaurant. ”

"What big star? Even you're going to make fun of me! Lu Zhanyan pulled her and smiled, "Let's go, I know that there is a Jingfuxuan that is delicious, you will definitely like it." ”

The restaurant chosen by Lu Zhanyan is indeed very famous in Hong Kong City.

Xu Jing sat down, looked at the layout and layout of the restaurant, and looked at Lu Zhanyan's eyes a little fluttering, "Zhanyan, do you often come here?" ”

Lu Zhanyan ordered food for the two of them, and said softly, "No, I've been here twice." The egg fried rice here tastes good. ”

"You can order food and see what you like to eat." Lu Zhanyan handed her the menu, and Xu Jing took it and was even more surprised.

The price is ridiculously expensive, and they would never think about it before.

"Zhanyan, will it be too expensive?"

"Didn't you say you wanted a fine dining restaurant?"

"But ......"

"Do you want to leave now?"

There is also a waiter on the side, and it is really embarrassing to leave like this, so I can only break the bank.

The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The surprised male voice suddenly sounded, "Zhanyan, it's really you!" ”

Xu Jing's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

Lu Zhanyan turned around and saw only a man with handsome eyebrows, but he was Shen Yi.

Shen Yi's eyes were burning and he was looking at her in surprise.

"Shen Yi, long time no see." Lu Zhanyan was also very surprised that he would meet him here.

"It's been a long time, are you okay?" Shen Yi's eyes gradually deepened, and his gaze became more and more gentle.

The woman in front of her was still the same as before, she didn't seem to have changed at all, with a faint smile on her plain face and clean black eyes. His forbearance and deep feelings, when he saw her, he found that they were still so strong. didn't even pay attention to Xu Jing who was with her, as if he could only pretend to be her in his eyes.

"I'm fine, and you look good." Lu Zhanyan had a decent attitude, not too enthusiastic, just indifferent to the politeness of his old classmates.

Shen Yi still had too much to say, but his friends behind him were shouting. There was still a group of people waiting for him in the private room, and he hurriedly said, "Don't leave yet, I'll come over in a while." ”

Lu Zhanyan didn't respond, just smiled.

Shen Yi glanced at her again before leaving in a hurry.

Lu Zhanyan turned around, only to find that Xu Jing's face was very pale, "Xu Jing, your face is very bad, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Xu Jing slowly raised her eyes, a bleak smile on her lips, "My stomach suddenly hurts a little, and I want to go home and rest." ”

Seeing her like this, Lu Zhanyan hurriedly called the waiter to settle the bill, and helped the pale Xu Jing to leave.

Lu Zhanyan wanted to take Xu Jing to the hospital, but Xu Jing said, "It's nothing, when I am abroad, I have irregular meals, and I have stomach pain from time to time, so I just go back and take medicine." ”

"Then I'll send you back." Her schedule is very tight, and she finally found time to meet Xu Jing, but she didn't know when the next meeting would be.

Xu Jing is her only friend, and she really wants to spend more time with her.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi back by myself, you're also very tired, go back early to rest, let's make an appointment again when we have time!" Xu Jing said softly.

There happened to be an empty car coming, Xu Jing immediately stopped and got into the car, waved goodbye, and the car slowly moved away from Lu Zhanyan's sight.

Lu Zhanyan was on the street in the middle of winter, watching her go away.

followed by a dark busyness, and the crew was so busy that they didn't even have time for the New Year.

Xu Jing never contacted her again, but Shen Yi called a few times to ask her out to meet, first, she was really not available, and secondly, she felt that it was unnecessary, so she had to say sorry to Shen Yi.

As soon as the New Year passed, Lu Zhanyan received a call from Xu Jing.

"I have to rush the school papers, so I can't go back early."

"When? I'll send you! Lu Zhanyan walked to the side in a few steps, but his breath was unstable. She had just finished filming a scene, and there was another one next.

"I'm already at the airport, you're so busy, you don't have to rush to see me off. Be good by yourself, don't think too much about me. Xu Jing's voice was as gentle as water.

Lu Zhanyan was very reluctant, but he didn't say anything, just said softly, "Xu Jing, you too." ”

After this scene, the director gave the actors ten minutes to rest, and immediately moved on to the next filming.

Jenny's assistant hurried over to her to reads.

She held an envelope pocket in her hand, "Miss Jenny, please take a look at this." ”

Jenny said impatiently, "Another letter from a fan?" What's there to see! ”

The assistant whispered, "Miss Jenny, just look at it." ”

Jenny took it with some suspicion and opened it to take a look. There were a few photos poured out of it, and she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then slowly evoked a wry smile.

……

A few days later, the front page of a magazine reported a photo of a female star who had been in and out of a nightclub on the eve of becoming famous. The report described in detail how the actress came to the aid and how she was warned and punished by the school, which immediately caused an uproar.

The magazine sold out after just two hours, and it was quickly reprinted and soared.

And this female star is none other than Lu Zhanyan.

On this day, Lu Zhanyan was filming on the set as usual, but he noticed that something was wrong. That kind of look made her feel a sense of déjà vu.

Then, the assistant hurriedly handed her a magazine.

"Miss Lu, you better take a look at this."

Lu Zhanyan looked at the cover of the magazine, and what caught her eye was an indecent photo of her once drinking in a nightclub.

Her mind was empty in an instant, and her hands trembled slightly.

Who is it and who will do it?

That advice exploded in my head---- I hope you don't regret it.

Qin Shijin, why don't you just refuse to let me go?

After the indecent photos were exposed, Lu Zhanyan's life became a mess.

Media reporters began to besiege and pursue, and the agent Wang Xin was also affected, not only being chased but also questioned by the company.

Wang Xin said, "Zhanyan, what's going on?" ”

Newspaper and magazine headlines flew all over the sky, pushing her to the forefront.

Lu Zhanyan sat quietly in the office, just keeping his head down.

It's been a year, and it's been so long.

But all of a sudden, it was as if I was going through it all over again.

Lu Zhanyan found that he had never let go.

For that unbearable night, the self that made her hate.

"Zhanyan, is it true?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Xin hurriedly asked, "Now you have to find a way to save your image, otherwise you will be finished!" ”

Lu Zhanyan said softly, "Mr. Xin, I'm sorry, the matter of being punished by the school is true. ”

"So you're really going to accompany the drink? You still ......" Wang Xin was incredulous, and almost blurted out the words of shame.

Lu Zhanyan's hands were clenched, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Wang Xin retracted, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he sat on the senior chair irritably, "What should I do now?" ”

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door and the employee came in.

"What's the matter?" Wang Xin asked.

The man said, "Mr. Xin, the lawyer's letter from the advertiser has arrived. ”

"Lawyer's letter?"

"Miss Lu took over the advertisement before, and the advertiser demanded compensation for the loss of reputation, otherwise he would sue ......," the man said with embarrassment, "Moreover, Xia Dong's movie also called and asked Miss Lu to temporarily stop filming, saying that the impact was too bad." ”

Wang Xin was even more surprised, looked at Lu Zhanyan and said, "This time the matter is really big." ”

Lu Zhanyan felt a little empty, as if someone had slapped his head, so empty.

Wang Xin saw that she was helpless when she looked like she was not giving up. He hurriedly flipped through the address book and started talking. dialed over one by one and said all the good things for Lu Zhanyan, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and even more sternly refused, which was in strong contrast with the warm attitude in the past.

Wang Xin said in annoyance, "I will definitely think of a way for you, but you have to prepare for the worst." ”

"What's the worst-case scenario?" Lu Zhanyan muttered.

"Financial compensation, but not a small amount. If you can't pay compensation, then you may ......," Wang Xin paused, and then said again, "Go to jail." ”

Lu Zhanyan was stunned.

"You better go back and rest first, don't go out recently, I'll let you know if there's any situation. There are a lot of reporters out there, so you disguise yourself and walk from behind. ”

Lu Zhanyan stood up like a robot and left the company.

She dressed up as a cleaning employee, very sloppy, and came out with two bags of garbage. Although there were reporters behind her, no one recognized her.

Lu Zhanyan slowly walked towards the recycling bin, and suddenly stopped his pace and stopped moving forward.

Do time......

Lu Zhanyan's mind kept circling and occupying these two words, and the past of the sealed dust was also re-revealed in an instant, as if the dust had been wiped away, but it was so real.

The picture is chaotic, with the whistling of police cars.

There were a lot of people rushing in, and they were pulling at each other to take the man away. She wouldn't, she wouldn't let them take him, those cops were the bad guys.

No one can take him away.

No one can either.

She yelled and chased after him, but as soon as the car door closed, the police car took him away.

The final scene cuts to a cold room with a rusty iron fence.

……

A cold wind blew, making Lu Zhanyan a little sober.

This year's winter is much colder than usual.

The negative news still can't be solved, the advertisers are resolute, and Lu Zhanyan is faced with a dilemma, either lose money or go to jail.

Wang Xin is also anxious and is settling accounts for her.

Although the recent income is considerable, excluding many expenses, less than half of what actually goes to Lu Zhanyan's hands.

Wang Xin calculated the account, and said with a headache, "It's a lot worse." ”

These days, Lu Zhanyan hardly talked much, and he didn't go out. If it weren't for Wang Xin looking for her, she wouldn't have come out at all.

"Mr. Xin, I don't want to go to jail." Lu Zhanyan finally spoke.

"It's really hard to do it with such a tight schedule...... Wang Xin shook his head and sighed.

"I can't go to jail." Lu Zhanyan said lightly but resolutely.

The phone rang suddenly, and Wang Xin picked it up.

After hanging up the line, he said expectantly, "Zhanyan, maybe there will be a turnaround." That Xia Dong wants to meet you and talk about the movie. ”

Lu Zhanyan's heart perked, knowing that the other party was a jackal, but he still dressed up quietly and went to Xia Dong's company and came to his office.

"Xia Dong." Lu Zhanyan spoke softly.

"Miss Lu is here." Xia Dong stood up, walked towards her with a smile, and beckoned her to sit down.

Lu Zhanyan smiled, "I didn't bother Xia Dong to be busy." ”

"No, Miss Lu is willing to come, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time."

"Miss Lu have a drink?"

"Okay."

Xia Dong poured two glasses of wine and turned it back, he handed one of them to her, Lu Zhanyan took it firmly, and he also sat down beside her.

"Miss Lu, you've been in a little trouble lately."

Not to mention a small trouble, the entire port city has long been spread, Lu Zhanyan still smiled, "It's a little trouble, and I hope Xia Dong can help." ”

"How do you think I can help you?" Xia Dong drank wine, and there was greed in his eyes.

"That movie, I want to keep making it. There is also a reluctant request, can Xia Dong lend me a little money temporarily. Lu Zhanyan almost doesn't socialize, so he doesn't know those big names, and he only knows this one recently.

"Making movies, of course, is no problem, but borrowing money is also a small thing. However, I am so sincere to Miss Lu, should Miss Lu also give some expression? Xia Dong said, a fat face came over, and his big hand stroked her thigh.

Lu Zhanyan forcibly endured his disgust, "Xia Dong ......"

"Miss Lu, are you free tonight?"

Half-pushed, half-pushed, the other party's hand was about to touch it into her skirt, and Lu Zhanyan's hand gradually clenched into a fist. After a struggle of thoughts, she couldn't hold back anymore and pushed him away fiercely, "Xia Dong, please respect yourself!" ”

"What chicks? In college, I was doing aid--handover! I'm willing to buy you, that's to look up to you! "Xia Dong has turned his face, so he has to use force.

Lu Zhanyan picked up the wine glass on the coffee table, poured the wine on his face, and turned around resolutely.

Xia Dong was suddenly embarrassed, his face turned blue for a while, and he looked at her departing back and roared, "You are such a good, even if you give it to me again, I don't want it!" ”

Walking out of the building, Lu Zhanyan was very dazed.

She didn't know where else to go or what else to do.

If you don't have money, you can only go to jail.

She wants a lot of money, where can she get it?

Overhead, there was a white sky, and a name that she didn't want to think about jumped out, and Lu Zhanyan only felt dizzy.

Qin Shijin, you won.

You really win.
