"Um."
"Has the God of Wealth approved of you?"
"Should?"
"Then if I stand next to you now, I can also share in your good fortune, right?"
Ying An reminded him, "I haven't even started acting yet."
"They're the same."
Lin Tingyue tugged at Ying An's sleeve; even without direct contact, Ying An's heart skipped a beat.
Ying An was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Hey, isn't this Little Ying? What are you doing here... Did you two make plans together?"
Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong suddenly appeared. Bai Yaxin looked at Ying An and then at Lin Tingyue.
"Mom, we bumped into each other by chance."
"What a coincidence! Where did you bump into each other?" Lin Rusong asked.
Lin Tingyue pointed behind her, "It's right there at the entrance of the God of Wealth Temple."
Lin Rusong and Bai Yaxin exchanged a glance. Had their daughters stumbled upon their own predestined marriages while worshipping the God of Wealth?
Chapter 92
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"
Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Rusong and Bai Yaxin. Why had the two of them suddenly stopped talking?
Lin Rusong coughed lightly, "It's nothing."
Bai Yaxin chimed in, "Yes, it's nothing. Little Ying is here to pray to the God of Wealth too?"
The Ying Family is so wealthy and powerful, yet they still remember to pray to the God of Wealth. No wonder they've always been able to thrive and prosper. Lin Rusong wondered if he should also go and pray to the God of Wealth.
Ying An explained what had happened to them. It turned out that she was about to play the God of Wealth and had come to seek his approval. Bai Yaxin to herself, "There aren't many actors as dedicated as you these days."
"Auntie, you don't need to praise me like that. I'm just doing my job."
[Some actors these days don't even do their job properly.]
Ying An paused, then chuckled softly. Could this be considered a compliment from Lin Tingyue?
"Let's go then, is it on our way, Little Ying?"
"I have to go to the film studio. Auntie and Uncle, did you drive here? If not, I can take you home first."
Assistant: Tsk tsk tsk.
With such a tight schedule, she still had to take the Lin Family home; her intentions are obvious.
"We drove here, thank you, Little Ying."
As the group exited the gate, Ying An's car and Lin Rusong's car were nearby. Ying An had just said goodbye to the Lin Family when he heard someone calling his name.
" Brother Ying, why didn't you wait for me?"
Ying An turned around and, sure enough, saw Chi Yu crossing the threshold and walking towards him.
He wouldn't say he disliked him, but he didn't want to have much contact with Chi Yu either.
Ying An said calmly, "I remember you said you didn't need to wait for me."
"I did say that, but I didn't expect that Brother Ying would really not wait for me. Well, Brother Ying is an award-winning actor after all, there's no need for him to wait for someone like me, an unknown actor, even if we're in the same film crew."
Anyone with a modicum of sense could tell there was something implied in his words; wasn't Minghan Ying An weight around?
What are they even doing here?!
Assistant: That was awesome!
She said, "Brother Chi Yu, since everyone's already bumped into each other at the main gate, what difference does it make whether we wait or not?"
The implication is that you shouldn't mess with their artists.
Chi Yu, however, seemed not to understand at all. He suddenly realized and said, "So, after becoming a movie star, even the people around you can be like this."
"You..."
Ying An looked at his assistant and said, "Ignore him."
Ying An understood that Chi Yu was simply feeling resentful.
Chi Yu has a powerful backer, but even that backer couldn't secure him the male lead role in this drama. Because Ying An is in the crew, as long as he's there, no one can challenge his position as the male lead.
However, if Chi Yu continues to act recklessly relying on his sugar daddy and things get out of hand, even his sugar daddy might not be able to protect him. After all, there are always people more powerful than you.
Who knows what happened next?
Lin Rusong Bai Yaxin listened for a long time and were both surprised. Even Ying An was being targeted?
Lin Tingyue sighed, "[I even miss my second brother's venomous little mouth.]"
Indeed, if Lin Shengyan were here, given his fiery temper, Chi Yu would definitely be in deep trouble.
"Uncle, Aunt, Miss Lin, please get in the car first. See you another day."
"Okay," Bai Yaxin nodded, " Little Ying, please be careful too."
"Okay, Auntie."
Bai Yaxin to Lin Tingyue, only to find Lin Tingyue staring at her phone.
Although no one knew exactly how Lin Tingyue's phone differed from theirs, every time Lin Tingyue finished looking at her phone, she would start revealing juicy gossip.
Now... is it no exception?
As expected--
[So it turns out it's because he has a sugar daddy, but that sugar daddy seems to be getting tired of him and is planning to replace Chi Yu.]
[But then again, did he come to worship the gods and ask for their approval? He's really bold.]
Is he brave?
Ying An seized upon this crucial point: Had Chi Yu done something wrong that prevented him from coming to worship the gods?
[He keeps ghosts in his own home, isn't he afraid of the gods directly intervening?]
Raising a ghost child?
The assistant was dumbfounded.
She's been in the industry for a few years now, so she's naturally heard a lot of inside stories about the entertainment circle. The more famous someone is in this circle, the more superstitious they tend to be.
But Chi Yu... could it be that he's trying to make a comeback?
Chi Yu used to be very popular, but because he had a very messy falling out with his company, he was effectively blacklisted. When he came back, his era had long passed, and he wasn't young anymore, so he could only...
The assistant felt a mixture of satisfaction and regret, thinking that Ying An had just gotten his comeuppance for his sarcastic remarks.
This industry is so cutthroat; you can easily fall if you're not careful.
Everyone got into the car, leaving only Chi Yu and his assistant standing there.
His assistant said, "Brother Chi Yu, President Tan told you not to offend anyone outside."
Chi Yu said impatiently, "Who have I offended? Do you think President Tan would replace me over such a trivial matter?"
How could that be? President Tan just gave him a lot of resources last week.
But Chi Yu didn't expect that people in this circle could turn on you faster than flipping through a book.
Three days later.
Ying An's assistant pushed open the door and sat down opposite Ying An Ying An, showing him the trending topics.
Ying An asked, "What happened?"
The assistant said, " Chi Yu's affairs have been exposed, including his sugar daddy and his keeping of ghost children."
Ying An clicked on the trending topics, and saw a constant stream of people posting revelations on social media. Ying An frowned, and his assistant said, " Brother Ying, what's going on...?"
Ying An said, "Fortunately, filming hasn't started yet, so there's still time to replace the actor."
assistant. "?"
Is this all Ying An is worried about in such a big matter?
That's true. Someone like Ying An probably doesn't even consider Chi Yu a threat.
However... Ying An is truly a ruthless person. The assistant thought about it and realized she couldn't be so decisive; she'd at least have to sigh for a few seconds, right?
No wonder she's still working.
Seeing his assistant staring at him, Ying An asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Brother Ying. I just feel like you don't have many emotional fluctuations in your daily life."
"Is it too little?"
The assistant nodded. "Perhaps he's channeling all his emotions into his acting? But there are exceptions..."
Ying An pressed further, "In what exceptional circumstances?"
The assistant tentatively asked, "May I say?"
"Do you think I'd kill someone to cover it up?"
What is this, dry humor?
If this statement were to be leaked, it would be enough to Ying An ten trending topics.
The assistant said, "You were quite something in front of Miss Lin..."
Ying An had just begun to recall when he cut himself off. He knew that Lin Tingyue was special to him, but he hadn't realized just how special she was.
He said calmly, "I'm like this in front of my family too."
The assistant, undeterred, continued to ask, "Including Miss Lin's family?"
Ying An looked at her, her gaze calm and collected, yet it sent a chill down the assistant's spine. The assistant muttered repeatedly, "She's getting into character, she's getting into character."
Then they quickly fled the scene.
After the assistant left, Ying An opened Lin Tingyue's chat window and glanced at it.
The conversation ended three days ago when Lin Tingyue asked him if he wanted more aromatherapy, and she bought quite a few more.
Ying An no longer suffers from insomnia, but he still wants Lin Tingyue's aromatherapy.
But... can't Lin Tingyue sleep either? Otherwise, why buy so much aromatherapy?
The answer to this question came from Lin Shengyan.
" Lin Tingyue, your sleep quality is amazing, just like before... I don't know what's wrong with you, you suddenly developed insomnia..."
Before Lin Shengyan, the line went dead. Seriously, they all think he's just a tool.
When Lin Shengyan irritable, Zhu Cheng walked up to Lin Shengyan and said, "Brother Shengyan, your sister is here."
" Lin Tingyue?"
Zhu Cheng nodded.
Well, here comes another person who's using him as a tool.
As soon as Lin Tingyue saw Lin Shengyan, she blurted out, "Second Brother, why do you look so grumpy?"
Lin Shengyan: "..."
He snorted and said, "How can you not feel bad after being played?"
Lin Tingyue looked at him with clear eyes, "Second Brother, you can still be fooled?"
Lin Shengyan: "Hehe."
He gritted his teeth and said, "There's more than one person."
[I hope I'm not in this one?]
Listening to Lin Tingyue's inner thoughts, Lin Shengyan wondered if he should congratulate Lin Tingyue on guessing correctly.
Lin Shengyan took the bag from Lin Tingyue's hand; it was quite heavy. He asked, "What did you bring me this time?"
"Mom bought you warm clothes, some delicious homemade food, cold medicine, and a 'scumbag warding off' charm."
