There was no need for him to be so hostile towards Lu Chuanbai anymore.
Come to think of it, he had repeatedly ruined Lu Chuanbai's good deeds, yet Lu Chuanbai never laid a hand on him. Instead, he let him act recklessly and silently cleaned up the mess.
He did have the air of an older brother...
As he was thinking, Lu Fenglin suddenly realized that he was actually thinking well of Lu Chuanbai. He jolted up from the sofa and shook his head in panic.
He and Lu Chuanbai had only temporarily reconciled. He wasn't going to acknowledge Lu Chuanbai as his older brother just like that!
That would be too embarrassing!
Just as Lu Fenglin was trying to convince himself, the doorbell rang.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Lu Fenglin's train of thought was instantly disrupted. He frowned his long and narrow eyebrows and stared at the black wooden door.
He had no friends, and his relatives wouldn't come to see him. Who could be ringing the doorbell?
Lu Fenglin walked up to the door and opened it with his left hand. To his surprise, standing outside was Father Lu, looking amiable and carrying a full load of things in both hands.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Fenglin's face instantly darkened. He stared at Father Lu expressionlessly.
Father Lu didn't mind his expression. He simply pushed past Lu Fenglin, sidestepped, and walked straight into the kitchen with the things in his hands. He placed them on the table.
"I'm so tired after buying all these things."
"Who asked you to buy them?"
Lu Fenglin stood at the door ungratefully. He felt annoyed and didn't know how to get along with Father Lu.
Father Lu had never brought anything to his house before. What had gotten into him today?
Father Lu smiled as he surveyed the kitchen. He opened the fridge and found only two bottles of mineral water. The rest of it was empty.
Thank goodness he had come. Otherwise, this kid would have been living on takeout.
"Your brother was worried that you couldn't take care of yourself, so he asked me to come and cook for you."
Father Lu deliberately brought up Lu Chuanbai's concern for Lu Fenglin.
This made Lu Fenglin even more embarrassed. The tips of his ears turned red, and he tried his best to keep a fierce look on his face.
Had these two both gone crazy?
He didn't need anyone to take care of him!
"I don't need it. I can order takeout. You should leave quickly."
As Lu Fenglin said this, he stepped aside menacingly, trying to get Father Lu to leave. But Father Lu saw through his insincerity and started to tidy up the kitchen on his own.
Lu Fenglin stood outside for a long time, but Father Lu ignored him. He had no choice but to enter the house dejectedly and close the door.
To his dismay, Father Lu even reminded him.
"I'll stay at your place and take care of you until you're better."
Hearing this, Lu Fenglin couldn't force a smile anymore. He pursed his lips.
Why had he said that Father Lu didn't care about him? It was so awkward to be in the same room as Father Lu.
On the other hand, the situation on the set was a bit better. Amy gave Xu Qingqing a thumbs up, once again in awe of Xu Qingqing's immense wealth.
"Qingqing, you're so rich. You might as well open an entertainment company for Yi Yi and let the company create scripts with Yi Yi as the male lead."
Xu Qingqing gave Amy a cool sidelong glance and looked at Xu Yiyi, who was receiving instructions from the director.
"Actoring is just Yi Yi's hobby. There's no need to take it so far."
Whether Xu Yiyi would inherit her business or go into business with Lu Chuanbai in the future was still undecided. There was no need to restrict Xu Yiyi now.
Amy nodded repeatedly, looking a bit disappointed.
Xu Yiyi's acting skills were so superb, and his background was so prominent.
Amy had originally hoped to help Xu Yiyi make a name for himself in the entertainment industry and win an actor award.
He might even rise to become the number one agent in the entertainment industry.
However, Amy respected Xu Yiyi's future choices. If necessary, he could sign other artists.
After Meng Lingyao stormed out of the crew angrily.
The agent, who was playing with her phone in the nanny car, saw Meng Lingyao running back crying. She quickly turned off her phone and asked with concern.
"Baby, who made you cry?"
Meng Lingyao turned around and sat inside the nanny car. She rested her head against the window, looking like the tragic heroine in a sad drama who shed tears on a rainy day after being struck by a blow.
Seeing that Meng Lingyao remained silent, her agent became even more worried. She hovered around Meng Lingyao, offering her a thermos and a light salad, showing all kinds of concern.
"Baby, did the director scold you? I'll go and scold him back right now!"
"Leave me alone!"
Meng Lingyao sobbed even louder, and her nose was about to run.
The agent was very observant and took out some tissues and handed them to Meng Lingyao.
Meng Lingyao grabbed several tissues and wiped her nose forcefully. She cried so pitifully that she was very endearing.
The agent saw that Meng Lingyao was wronged and assumed it was Director Wang's fault. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to go to the set to confront Director Wang.
"How dare Director Wang bully you? I'll go and reason with him right now!"
"Don't go. It wasn't Director Wang!"
Meng Lingyao reached out and grabbed her agent. She sobbed and told the whole story.
Of course, the story from Meng Lingyao's mouth was definitely biased towards herself.
She portrayed Xu Qingqing as a nouveau riche who forced her to shave her head and used money to suppress her when she refused.
The agent, who didn't know the whole truth, got angrier and angrier as she listened. She looked around and saw no one else, then started swearing.
"Just because she's rich doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants! Who does she think she is, bullying others like this? You're the leading actress. How could Director Wang replace you because of a minor supporting role!"
"I'll go and talk to her right now!"
"Don't."
Meng Lingyao grabbed her agent again. She stopped crying, shook her head, and a flash of venomous hatred passed through her eyes. She looked like she was doing it for her agent's good.
"It's okay for me to suffer a bit. If you offend her, it'll be hard for us to make a living in the future. Just let them replace me. It's my fault for not having a powerful background."
With that, Meng Lingyao closed the car door and told the driver to drive away.
The agent was just saying it in the heat of the moment. Even if she wanted to scold someone, she could only scold Director Wang to vent her anger. She didn't have the guts to go and confront Xu Qingqing.
The agent lovingly patted Meng Lingyao's hand and promised her.
"Go back and post a Weibo about leaving the crew. I'll contact the public relations team to make this a big deal."
"You have so many fans. Even if we can't affect Xu Qingqing and the others, we'll still ruin their reputation!"
This was exactly what Meng Lingyao had in mind, so she nodded.
Meng Lingyao had once starred in a popular idol drama and had a huge number of fans. She had 10 million fans on Weibo, which was quite a significant influence.
With her fans' strong combativeness, she didn't believe she couldn't smear Xu Qingqing's reputation.
Even if Xu Qingqing wanted to hold someone accountable in the end, it would be her fans' responsibility, not hers.
Meng Lingyao immediately took out her phone and posted a selfie in the car with the caption: I'm leaving the crew. Let's part on good terms, everyone.
In the photo, Meng Lingyao's eyes were red, and there were even faint traces of tears. It was obvious that she had just been crying.
Meng Lingyao's fans saw the photo and the caption.
