Jiang's mother: "Mom knows that your father's management company can provide you with very good resources."
"Mom, you're a director. Would you want the leading lady in your film crew to be someone with connections?"
Jiang Lai's words made them both swallow back what they had prepared to say.
Jiang Wanqiu placed a piece of spare rib on her brother's and sister-in-law's plates: "Brother, sister-in-law, Lai Lai has grown up and can make her own decisions. If she wants to go out on her own, let her go!"
Jiang's father remained silent for a while, then finally put down his chopsticks and sighed heavily several times: "If you want to do it, then do it. Dad supports you, but Dad thinks..."
Jiang Lai: "Stop! Dad, I don't feel like you've wronged me. Don't think too much about it."
Despite this, Jiang's father still felt guilty and didn't smile again until the two left.
At night, Jiang Wanqiu knocked on Jiang Lai's door. After a response came from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.
Jiang Wanqiu placed the hot milk on the bedside table and sat down next to Jiang Lai's bed: "Lai Lai, if you really want to be an actress, you know that the tolerance for actors in China is very low. Someone like you... Actually, you could be a director, like your mother."
Jiang Lai put down her phone: "Auntie, being an actress is my dream. I don't think it conflicts with my liking for girls. It's just that my abilities are limited and I need to hide myself. What if I come out when I become like my dad?"
"I can't argue with you, fine, drink the milk and go to sleep."
"Okay, goodnight."

Author's Note:
Pre-order novel:
My domineering husband is a god.
Li Lu is a film queen with millions of fans. In an interview, she said without hesitation that her ideal type is Feng Xuanshen.
Weibo crashed instantly as news of Li Lu's crush on Feng Xuanshen flooded the screen.
Who is Feng Xuan Shen? Feng Xuan Shen is a legend in Beicheng. At a young age, she owns an entire business empire. She is unpredictable and easily angered. Although she is beautiful, many people keep their distance from her.
As expected, Feng Xuanshen's Weibo post caused the software to crash again.
[@Feng Xuanshen: What is Lilu? I've never heard of it.]
Normal people would get angry if they were humiliated, but Li Lu not only didn't get angry, she also attended Feng Xuanshen's birthday party.
That night, Li Lu unexpectedly received an invitation from her goddess. She was both nervous and excited, but when she opened the door and saw the scene in front of her, she fainted and foamed at the mouth.
She saw the goddess twist a man's head off with her bare hands...
The next day, Li Lu woke up at the Civil Affairs Bureau. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the goddess's exquisite face. The goddess parted her red lips slightly and calmly uttered four words: "Marry me."
Li Lu: ? ? ?
Later, Li Lu discovered that the goddess possessed magic, could kill ghosts and make deals with them, but she was a god. As for what kind of god she was, and how she fell to earth, she had no idea.
Feng Xuanshen also couldn't escape the "true fragrance" law, completely forgetting his initial disdain for Li Lu. He not only became jealous, but also became more irritable because of Li Lu.
Someone accidentally touched Li Lu's hand on a variety show.
Feng Xuanshen: I'm going to twist his hand off!
Li Lu: Are you crazy?
Feng Xuanshen: What kind of lunatic are you? I am a god!

Chapter 2
June 10, 2016, summer. City A was as hot as ever this year.
"Get out of here..."
The woman pointed at the man and the naked woman beside him. Tears welled in her eyes, but she wasn't overly angry; instead, she felt only helplessness and disgust.
The underwear scattered carelessly on the floor, the messy sheets and blankets, stung Lin Zhi's eyes and made her feel nauseous.
With red eyes, Lin Zhi questioned the man who was putting on his pants, "Cheng Anan, this is our home! How could you do such a thing in our home?"
Today is Cheng Anan's birthday, and also their seven-year anniversary. Lin Zhi specially canceled her work to come home and celebrate with him. But as soon as she opened the door, the strong perfume made her feel nauseous. The rhinestones on the pair of high heels in the entryway were still sparkling. She trembled uncontrollably as she slowly walked to the bedroom and pushed open the door...
Cheng Anan naturally didn't expect Lin Zhi to come back today. Ever since Lin Zhi and her friends started the agency five years ago, this woman has valued the artists under her management more than her boyfriends.
Cheng Anan lowered his head and casually buttoned his shirt: "Lin Zhi, since you've caught us, I won't hide it from you anymore. Shanshan and I have been dating for three years, and you've never found out. I've given you hints, but you didn't care at all."
Lin Zhi gritted her teeth and squeezed out four words: "You're disgusting."
Cheng An rubbed his forehead and sneered: "Disgusting? You're the disgusting one. Seven years, and you haven't even let me kiss you once. I don't think you're frigid; you're gay."
Lin Zhi bent down, picked up the lace lingerie from the ground, threw it at Cheng Anan's face, and said with disgust, "Get out of my house."
Cheng Anan picked up Shanshan's clothes and handed them to her, then pushed Lin Zhi aside and went to the outdoor balcony to smoke a cigarette.
After finishing a cigarette, Shanshan got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, stretching as she did so. She wasn't ashamed of being caught cheating. She leaned against Cheng Anan's chest and said sweetly, "Brother Nan, I don't like it here. Let's go."
Cheng Anan pinched Shanshan's cheek and stubbed out his cigarette: "Let's go."
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Zhi came out of the second bedroom and pushed her suitcase in front of Cheng Anan: "Take your things away, I find them disgusting."
"Tch." Cheng Anan picked up his suitcase and left without looking back, the only response being the "bang" of the door closing.
For a long time after Cheng Anan left, Lin Zhi stood motionless in the living room. After a while, she suddenly came to her senses, felt nauseous, rushed to the bathroom, and vomited into the toilet.
She was disgusted by Cheng Anan's behavior, disgusted by her own seven years of youth, and even more disgusted by what she had just witnessed. She wished she could gouge out her own eyes.
Her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. She tidied herself up and took out her phone to answer the call.
"Little Zhizhi! Where did you go for the company dinner today?!"
It was very noisy on the other end of the phone, and Kevin's voice was especially loud, so loud that Lin Zhi unconsciously moved the phone away.
She walked out of the bathroom and turned on speakerphone: "Company dinner, how come I didn't know?"
Kevin: "Oh~ You don't trust your little Chuan Chuan? He's been busy with other people for so many days, not even going back to the company. How would you know we were having a get-together?"
Lin Zhi frowned: "Li Mingjun, can you speak properly? If you keep this up, I'm really going to call you 'sister'. Besides, his name is Qi Chuan. I only took him out for a few days for business, he didn't disappear."
Kevin disliked his Chinese name and rolled his eyes dramatically: "Little Zhizhi, it's the newlyweds' birthday, are you coming or not?"
Lin Zhi broke up with her boyfriend and no longer needed to celebrate any ridiculous anniversaries with anyone. However, she still had to attend the newlyweds' birthday parties. The atmosphere in their company had always been very good, with no hierarchy. When Lin Zhi first graduated from university, she was always running around for the company, acting as an agent and a talent scout, and she also had to build connections from time to time. She understood the hardships involved, so she had a good relationship with the artists under her management and the company's employees.
"Go ahead, send me the address."
"Okay~"
Not long after the phone call ended, a WeChat message popped up from "Mother 0". Lin Zhi checked the location, touched up her makeup, and went out.
She is as beautiful as ever today. Compared to when she first graduated from university, she is now more mature. She is beautiful and successful in her career. Generally speaking, such a woman is perfect and no one would cheat on her. But this perfect woman is actually sexually frigid.
She hadn't seen a doctor, she was too busy, but she was very resistant to Cheng Anan's touch. Even a kiss on the cheek would make her feel uncomfortable for a while, let alone a kiss. The two of them slept in separate rooms, so she could almost be certain that she was indeed frigid. As for Cheng Anan's claim of being a lesbian... ha, nonsense.
On the other side, after Kevin finished sending out the locations, he went over to the birthday boy who had been looking sullen.
"Little birthday girl, why are you so gloomy?"
Although Jiang Lai had just signed a contract, she knew that the man in front of her... ah, no, the man in front of her was her boss. She was in a very bad mood today, but she still gave her boss a token smile, after all, today's birthday party was held for her.
"Kevin, I'm fine."
"Tsk tsk tsk, trying to fool me? You little girl, do you think you can fool my sharp eyes? Your eyes are red, have you been crying secretly? Did you break up with your boyfriend?"
No wonder they work in entertainment; their emotional intelligence is so high, you can tell at a glance.
That's right, Jiang Lai did break up. This morning, she and her college friend You Yi saw Lin Xi while shopping. Next to Lin Xi was a man in a suit, and the two of them were sweetly picking out wedding rings.
Jiang Lai confronted her, but Lin Xi pretended not to know her. The man made a phone call, and then Jiang Lai was dragged out of the mall like a clown.
Jiang Lai couldn't understand it, but she knew that the man was very rich.
Lin Xi sent her a message, clarifying her relationship with that man and that the two were about to get engaged. Jiang Lai was stunned, feeling numb all over. However, what disgusted Jiang Lai the most was that Lin Xi actually said she still loved her and wanted to use that man's money to support her. Jiang Lai was so angry that she blocked all of Lin Xi's contact methods.
Consider it a five-year waste.
Just as she was lost in thought, applause and noise suddenly erupted in the private room, instantly making the entire room bustle with excitement. Jiang Lai looked up at the door and saw a woman with long, flowing hair. The woman was beautiful with delicate features and was dressed in formal attire, as if she had just finished a social engagement.
The first thing Jiang Lai noticed was the mole on the corner of her lip. It looked familiar, and when she looked at the person's face, it felt even more familiar, giving her a sense of warmth. Perhaps it was because the person's smile was so comforting.
Kevin, who was sitting next to her, waved for Lin Zhi to sit down. She immediately spotted Kevin's spot and came over to sit down.
Lin Zhi smiled politely and gracefully: "Have fun."
Today's dinner party included actors and singers, some of whom are already somewhat famous, while others are still newcomers, but everyone was relaxed and got along very well.
Kevin naturally took Lin Zhi's arm and introduced her to Jiang Lai with a smile: "This is Lin Zhi, and she's also your boss~ Isn't our little Zhi Zhi very pretty?"
Lin Zhi extended her hand: "Hello, I'm Lin Zhi."
Jiang Lai stood up and shook hands with her fingertips: "Jiang Lai. Seeing is believing. Teacher Lin is just as beautiful as the rumors say."
"Thank you. No need to call me teacher, just call me sister."
"Okay, Sister Lin."
Jiang Lai met Lin Zhi's eyes, and saw that they were a little red. Jiang Lai could tell that this person was very sad, but she was trying her best to control herself. Even though she did it very well, Jiang Lai could still tell that she was acting.
His smile was even more fake than his own.
Kevin naturally noticed that his friend's mood was off. He leaned close to Lin Zhi's ear and whispered something. The surrounding noise made Jiang Lai unable to hear what they were saying. She didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's whispers, so she simply picked up the juice on the table and drank it.
Jiang Lai had just joined the company and didn't have any particularly good friends, but she got along quite well with the girl sitting next to her who had debuted half a year earlier.
The girl knew it was her birthday and specially gave her a crystal ball as a birthday gift. It wasn't expensive, but it was very beautiful.
The girl's name was Amina. She was from an ethnic minority group and had striking features. However, Jiang Lai was more attracted to the beauty of Lin Zhi, a woman from the Central Plains.
Lin Zhi... that's a similar name to that person.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Zhi; her eyes were even redder. Kevin said something to her, and she actually got up and left.
"Brother Kevin, what's wrong with Teacher Lin?" Jiang Lai asked curiously.
Kevin sighed, "Heartbroken, just like you. Sigh...you two poor souls."
