Chapter 20: Deliberate Targeting and Suppression

When Ying Ruxing returned to the banquet hall, Old Lady Lin was chatting happily with a noble lady, and Lin Jiao was also having a pleasant conversation with a well-mannered young man.

Ying Ruxing knew that he was probably chosen.

While the old lady and the woman were drinking tea, she said goodbye to the old lady and planned to leave first.

The Lin family's banquet was well arranged. Considering that the guests would drink after arriving, they also arranged for designated drivers and chauffeurs to wait at the door, but most of the guests brought their own drivers.

Unfortunately, the driver had not returned yet after seeing off a group of guests.

The old lady was worried about the little girl going back alone.

"Wait a moment, I'll find someone to take you there."

Without giving her a chance to refuse, the old lady patted the back of her hand, looked around, and finally set her sights on Shi Jinyuan.

"Ayuan, could you please help me send Xing girl back, please?"

Shi Jinyuan glanced at Ying Ruxing and nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely send her home safely."

"You two know each other, and you are steady people, so I feel most at ease with you."

The old lady waved at Ying Ruxing and pushed her to Shi Jinyuan's side.

The old lady escorted the two out of the main hall, and Ying Ruxing said, "You should go back first. Jiaojiao can't handle it alone."

The old lady didn't see him off. She gave Shi Jinyuan a few instructions and turned away with the help of the housekeeper.

The two walked out side by side.

Not far away, Bai Yuanzhou witnessed this scene and clenched his hands into fists.

He said, why did Ying Ruxing go to so much trouble to break off the engagement with him, it turned out that she had already found another partner!

Bitch!

How dare you seduce Shi Jinyuan!

As soon as Ying Ruxing and Shi Jinyuan left the house, the assistant drove over.

He stepped aside to let her go first, with a reserved look on his face, as if he wanted to keep a distance from her as vast as an indestructible chasm, fearing that she would get close to him.

Ying Ruxing felt a slight pain in her heart. Perhaps just like Shi Jinyuan said, she didn't need to be too afraid of Bai Yuanzhou.

Maybe there are other ways to go, such as becoming famous overnight, standing out, and standing on her own.

So, for the first time, Ying Ruxing did not seize the opportunity to stick to him. Instead, she kept her distance, raised her head, and smiled at him politely.

"You don't have to send me off. I just agreed to let you come just to reassure the old lady."

"I've already called a taxi. No need to bother Mr. Shi."

She changed the address from uncle to Mr. Shi, and acted very properly.

Shi Jinyuan frowned slightly and was about to say something when a white Jetta stopped in front of him.

Ying Ruxing smiled and got into the car, told the last digit of her cell phone number, and the car disappeared into the night.

She moved in one go, not giving Shi Jinyuan a chance to react.

Shi Jinyuan got in the car only after it had gone far away.

Leaning back in his chair, he rubbed his brows. For some reason, he still felt depressed.

"Sir, the thing you asked me to check has come out."

The assistant handed over a document with the words "Ying Sheng Sheng" written on it.

The copies inside were of her life story and some past events of the Ying family.

"According to investigation, Ying Shengsheng has never taken any courses in restoration, nor does he have any hobbies in this area."

Shi Jinyuan raised his eyebrows, which was almost the same as what he thought.

When Shi Jinyuan received the jade hairpin that Ying Shengsheng had repaired, he began to suspect

The jade hairpin was restored using Master Jing's unique technique, and as far as he knew, Master Jing had not accepted any disciples in recent years.

She said that she had the honor of meeting Mr. Jing a few years ago, but she didn't know that the person living next door to her was Mr. Jing.

Contradictory.

Shi Jinyuan put away the documents, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

So, who exactly repaired the jade hairpin for Ying Shengsheng, and what is the relationship between this person and Mr. Jing?

...

Ying Ruxing left home early because she was rushing to audition for a web drama.

"Phoenix Order" is the first web drama of the well-known director Shu Jiaheng. The web drama market has been booming in recent years, and it is cheaper to produce an SSS film than an ordinary drama.

She was auditioning for the role of female No. 4, a vicious female supporting role who followed the vicious female No. 2 and bullied the female lead as well. She was a tragic character under the oppression of the powerful.

Because it is a masterpiece shot by a well-known director, many popular actresses also came to audition, and the competition was very fierce.

The audition corridor was packed with people, and all kinds of flowers were blooming, vying for beauty.

Ying Ruxing is a professional actor with good looks, strong lines and excellent acting skills.

During the audition, the director and producer praised her for her understanding of the character, and how she played an originally vicious person and showed her helplessness and misery under the oppression of the powerful, and finally redeemed her conscience when her tribe was destroyed.

The director likes her very much and claims that she is the female No. 4 'Sheng Fang' that he has in mind.

Ying Ruxing had auditioned many times, but only this time did she receive praise from the director, and she could not hide her excitement.

If she can successfully get this role, she will have taken the first step into the entertainment industry. After becoming a little famous, she naturally won't have to worry about food and clothing anymore.

A bright future is right before our eyes, and the scorching sun above our heads makes the road ahead even brighter.

After finishing his part-time job, Ying Ruxing just arrived at the doorstep when he received a strange phone call.

She said with anticipation and a cheerful tone, "Hello."

"I'm Shu Jiaheng."

Hearing the other party introduce himself, Ying Ruxing's heart was lifted, and she guessed that the audition had come to an end.

"Ying Ruxing, your audition performance yesterday was very good, but..."

"I'm sorry, there's already someone else chosen for this role."

The smile on Ying Ruxing's face froze instantly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

The burning joy was suddenly replaced by a feeling of disappointment, which caught her off guard.

"Director Shu, I..."

"I know you are disappointed, and I am sorry too. Ying Ruxing, you are a good talent, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you."

Ying Ruxing was silent for a few seconds and then forced a smile.

"Please, thank you for calling me."

On the phone, Shu Jiaheng's breathing was a little rapid, as if he was nervous and conflicted.

After a long while, he said, "Ying Ruxing, someone is actually putting pressure on me."

The call was suddenly hung up.

Ying Ruxing was stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The phone vibrated, and it was that unfamiliar number again.

"Think carefully about whether you have offended anyone recently."

Ying Ruxing's eyes moved slightly and she suddenly smiled.

So that's how it is.

No wonder she kept getting rejected at auditions. It wasn’t because she was not good enough, but because someone was deliberately targeting and suppressing her.

Do you want to force her to surrender in this way?

dream!

Ying Ruxing gritted her teeth.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Ying Ruxing pushed the door and went home.

I was still thinking about the dirty things Bai Yuanzhou had done, and I didn't come to my senses until I heard Ying's father's questioning words.

"Ying Ruxing, you have really grown up. You actually secretly made friends with the rich without telling your family!"

"Tell me, when did you get close to the Lin family?"

As his voice fell, a glass was broken. It was obvious that Ying's father was extremely angry.
