Qin Xiaoyue swung the door open and saw his son sitting on the couch, smoking a cigarette. The whole room was filled with a strong cigarette smell.
She fanned herself with her hand as the strong cigarette smell was unpleasant.
She got angry when she saw Lu Qin like this. Immediately, she took a card out of her bag and threw it on the table.
“Lu Qin, what kind of card did you give me? Why is there no money in it?”
Lu Qin answered after letting out a puff of smoke, “Isn’t there 100,000 yuan in it?”
“100,000 yuan?” Qin Xiaoyue raised her voice and said, “What can I do with 100,000 yuan? You are now making money as an actor right? Look at Yan Huan, she got a diamond ring by just being an endorser.”
“Since you are filming everyday, you have more shots than her right? How can you just give me 100,000 yuan?”
Lu Qin smoked another cigarette. The smoke entered his throat and passed through his lungs, numbing him for a brief moment. Then, he blew it out through his nose, completing what could be said as a wonderful cycle.
He continued smoking, not willing to stop.
At first, Qin Xiaoyue still wanted to complain. However, she stopped after seeing her son’s gloomy face. She then quickly took the card from the table and ran back to her bedroom.
Even though she was the one who gave birth to Lu Qin, she could not understand him. As he grew older, he became more difficult to grasp. Especially now, Lu Qin appeared as if he wanted to eat someone. Coldness seeped through his bones into the surroundings.
No, not just coldness, it was gruesome coldness. It was something like hell, so terrifying and scary.
At the outside, Lu Qin was smoking. Taking a drag after a drag.
He closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. Then, a puff of smoke was blown out of his mouth. His lips were very thin but it was in no way sexy. Instead, it gave a feeling that he was a fickle person.
In fact, that was his heart. Since young, he knew that he needed to fight for what he wanted. By all means and no matter what it took.
Holding onto his own hands, he suddenly gritted his teeth. So forceful that it emitted a cracking sound, as if he was gnawing at someone’s bones or drinking someone’s blood.
He had a dream. A very real dream, as if he had experienced it in his past life. Perhaps, it was his past life.
In his past life, Yan Huan was his. Everything belonged to Yan Huan was also his. With Yan Huan’s money, he got everything. He became the best actor and had the Lu family in his hands. He could do whatever he wanted and he was also a person who could affect the entertainment industry.
However, when he opened his eyes, everything in his dream shattered. Everything in his dream was false. He had nothing but the name Lu Qin.
In order to survive, Lu Qin had to rely on Lu Yi. Yes, Qin Xiaoyue was right. Yan Huan was an actress. He had also took part in a lot of dramas. Perhaps, even more than Yan Huan. But he got all the roles by using Lu Yi’s name.
Even if he took part in it, so what. He was still in an awkward state, just like a frog being cooked in warm water.
Who’s Yan Huan? She’s the national goddess, the panacea of the box office. Almost every drama she took a part in was popular, a huge box office success. She was the ambassador for international brands including jewelries and perfumes. Her endorsement fees were all over millions.
What about him, a C-List actor? What was he then?
He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Then, he took out another cigarette and ignited it. He took one puff after another. Right at that moment, his eyes were actually beaming with ferocious green light, just like a wolf.
Even if she did not belong to him, he would steal her over. It did not matter whether she was dead or alive, he would not let others have her, especially Lu Yi.
Lu Qin did not know why he would have such a feeling. It was almost torturing him like a real maddening dream.
Without even realizing it, he had already considered the dream as reality.
Because someone took his things, because someone stole his things.
He pressed the cigarette hard against the surface of the table. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain similar to that of being burned on his fingertip. However, he became more insane because of this pain.
He licked his finger once. The smile on his face was deranged.
Yan Huan had no idea that at this moment, there were people whose destinies were changed because of her rebirth. They had a feeling of discontent because their destinies were taken away, just like Fang Zhu.
She was clutching to Lu Yi’s waist, watching him play games on her phone. The bell rang as the game reached its climax.
“I’ll go get the door.” Lu Yi put down the phone and stood up to open the door.
“No.” Yan Huan shook her head, unwilling to let him go.
“Ms. Yan, are you sure? Your father-in-law is here to get his painting.”
Yan Huan sat up abruptly and fixed her clothes. She must maintain her image in front of her father and mother-in-law. She was actually cold and elegant in front of her fans.
On the other hand, she had to be cute, spoiled and fun in front of her husband.
“How do you know it’s dad?” Yan Huan fixed her hair and sat upright on the couch. In order to show that she was a cultured person, she placed a book in front of her and pretended to flip a page.
Lu Yi was already at the entrance. He looked back with a faint smile.
“The house has just been renovated. He is here to get his Wu Daozi’s painting. Otherwise, he cannot sleep at night.”
His hand was already on the door handle. Then, he opened the door.
“Dad, you are here.” Without looking at his father, he made way for him. Then, he went to the shelf and took out Wu Daozi’s painting.
“Yeah, I am here for my Wu Daozi. I cannot be at ease and will not be able to sleep if it is not within my sight.” Lu Jin entered and stared at the box in Lu Yi’s hands.
He seemed to realize that he was too impatient so he faked a cough. He turned around and smiled at Yan Huan, “Huanhuan, are you studying?”
“Yeah, I read when I’m bored to gain some knowledge.” Yan Huan would not laugh at her father-in-law’s impatience. She pretended to flip the book in her hands but nothing was actually going into her mind.
“Oh, studying is good. It is very good to gain more knowledge. For us humans, we ought to learn for as long as we live.” Lu Jin nodded continuously. He had nothing much to say because his mind was occupied with his Wu Daozi.
“Huanhuan, can you understand what is written on the book?”
“Yep, I can.”
“That’s great,” said Lu Jin but his eyes were staring at Lu Yi’s movements as if he was afraid that his son would damage his beloved painting. If that happens, he would feel very distressed.
