Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Chapter 228: The Scheming Father and Daughter (1)

The gift was really too expensive. She couldn’t bear to accept it.

The place where the bookshop was located would be worth a large amount of money in 10 years.

“Mother, I am not being courteous. I just think that the gift is really too expensive.”

Du Juan laughed softly. “Silly girl. I have given it to you, so it’s yours. Just take it. When you go to college, you can’t possibly leave your grandmother in the town of Jiameng alone. Bring her to the capital to live with you, so you don’t have to worry as well.”

Tears welled in Ye Tianxin’s eyes.

“Don’t cry. Today is a good day. All of us on set are very happy for you.”

In the end, Ye Tianxin could not refuse the gift, so she kept the document in her luggage.

That night, everyone on set gathered in the hotel’s Chinese restaurant for dinner. Director Jin said that with the national top-scorer Ye Tianxin on their team, his new movie “Red Cherry” would definitely become a hit. This was a good sign.

Ye Tianxin was also very happy during dinner.

Since Jin Xin and Du Juan were both there during dinner, the others did not dare to force Ye Tianxin to drink.

Ye Tianxin also did not drink.

She did not dare to drink.

When she got drunk in her previous life, it led her down a path that she could never turn back from.

...

...

In Shenhai City...

Lu Jijun sat on a sofa in the living room. All he could see was Ye Tianxin’s beautiful smile.

He thought that she really looked like her.

She really looked like Ye Linlang.

It was a pity that Lu Jijun had not even managed to hold Ye Linlang’s hand in his life.

He had almost succeeded.

He was just that a step away from success.

Lu Jijun poured himself a glass of liquor and leaned against the bar top. Images flashed through his mind.

She should be dead.

Lu Qingxin had just returned home when she saw Ye Tianxin’s face on the television.

Ye Tianxin was singing a nursery rhyme. Her voice sounded happy and pleasing to the ears.

However, Lu Qingxin felt that Ye Tianxin’s voice was unbearable. Her expression was cold, and she was about to walk upstairs when Lu Jijun stopped her. “What’s the matter? Don’t you know how to greet your father?”

Lu Qingxin turned around in shock and looked at Lu Jijun. “Dad, were you in the living room?” she replied, acting surprised. “I didn’t see you when I entered just now. I thought that the helper had forgotten to switch off the television.”

Lu Qingxin walked up to Lu Jijun and took the glass from his hand. She smiled at him sweetly.

“Dad, please stop drinking. I already lost a mom. I don’t want to lose my dad, too.”

Lu Jijun looked at Lu Qingxin’s face. “Qingxin, do you want to go to Capital University earlier and get used to the place?”

“Dad, I won’t go. If I go, you will drink all day like what you are doing now. I know that you loved Mom deeply. You can’t accept that she’s gone. But, Dad... You...you still have me. Let’s live well together, shall we?”

“You are just a kid. Why are you worried? I have already prepared a place for you near Capital University. It’s that condo opposite Gu Yancheng’s. Qingxin, let me remind you, Gu Yancheng is a decent man. If you really like him, then settle down with him.”

“Dad, Elder Brother Yancheng is my older brother,” Lu Qingxin emphasized. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you are saying.”

Lu Jijun smiled and asked, “Do you really not understand?”

“Dad, I am still young and I have no intentions being in a relationship at this point.”

Lu Qingxin’s words kept Lu Jijun from pursuing the topic. He looked at his daughter silently.
