After Lin Xiaowan returned home, Aunt Wu told Lin Xiaowan that Lu Yingxin had come looking for her in the afternoon. Aunt Wu said, “I told you weren’t around, but it seemed like she thought that you refused to see her. She tried to call you, but the call didn’t go through. When she left, her expression was not very good.”

Lin Xiaowan had left her phone in the room yesterday since they were in a rush to go to the hospital. Naturally, she could not answer any calls. When she saw the two missed calls on her phone, she felt very resistant about returning the calls. She felt that she would only be looking for trouble if she returned the calls. At the same time, she also felt that it would be rude to ignore the calls.

When Huo Zheng came out of the bathroom, he saw Lin Xiaowan looking at her phone with a troubled expression on her face. He asked, “What are you looking at?”

“It’s Lu Yingxin. Do you remember her? She called me, and 1 don’t know if 1 should return her calls.”

“Who?” Huo Zheng asked.

Lin Xiaowan tilted her head and said, “Lu Yingxin. She’s that beautiful woman who visited when we moved in.”

Lin Xiaowan told Huo Zheng about how Lu Yingxin had visited again and how she had run into Lu Yingxin at the dessert shop.

Huo Zheng shook his head and said, “1 don’t remember her.”

Lin Xiaowan also found out that the man who came with Lu Yingxin that day was staying in Xilin Imperial Garden. After finding out that Huo Zheng had moved to Xilin Imperial Garden, the other party visited, hoping that Huo Zheng would invest in his project. She also found out that Huo Zheng had refused the other party and did not have any interaction with the other party since then. Huo Zheng did not even remember the man’s name.

“Then why did Lu Yingxin look for me so often?” Lin Xiaowan asked, puzzled.

Although Lin Xiaowan was clueless, Huo Zheng naturally knew that Lu Yingxin had ulterior motives. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he said, “If you don’t want to speak to her, then just ignore her. There’s no need to force yourself to cater to others.”

“Alright, 1 understand,” Lin Xiaowan replied.

In the end, Lin Xiaowan did not return the calls, and Lu Yingxin did not take the initiative to look for or call Lin Xiaowan again.

Lin Xiaowan assumed the matter would end like this, but after half a month, when Gu Yuwu brought her to the western suburbs, she ran into Lu Yingxin again.

When Lu Yingxin saw Lin Xiaowan, she did not bring up the matter before. Her beautiful face was exquisitely made up, and her smile was bright as she said, “What a coincidence. We meet again.”

Lin Xiaowan felt that the world was very small at this moment. She smiled and asked, “Are you filming here? So you’re an actress?”

Lu Yingxin wore a pink dress. Lin Xiaowan did not know if it was the makeup or something else, but she felt that Lu Yingxin looked much more pleasing to the eye than before. To be precise, she did not feel a sense of aversion toward the other party anymore. She said sincerely, “This style suits you a lot. You look very beautiful.”

Lu Yingxin’s smile widened. “Thank you for your compliment.”

Gu Yuwu had just returned from getting the staff member’s pass when she saw Lin Xiaowan talking to Lu Yingxin. She asked, slightly surprised, “You know her?”

Lin Xiaowan wanted to say no, but Lu Yingxin was faster. She said with a smile, “Yes. I just met Miss Lin not too long ago. 1 didn’t expect to meet her here.”

Gu Yuwu did not want to talk to Lu Yingxin anymore so she said, “I think they’re looking for you. You should go over first.”

After Lu Yingxin left, Gu Yuwu hung the staff’s pass around Lin Xiaowan’s neck. Then, she looked in the direction where Lu Yingxin had gone and asked with a hint of disdain, “How did you meet her?”

Lin Xiaowan could not wait to explore the filming set. She held Gu Yuwu’s hand as they walked. She said, “I think she lives in Xilin Imperial Garden with her boyfriend. When I moved there, she and her boyfriend came to look for Huo Zheng.”

Gu Yuwu rolled her eyes. It was obvious that she did not like Lu Yingxin very much. She said, “How could she possibly live there?”

Lu Yingxin was just a small celebrity who had participated in a talent show a while ago. However, she was eliminated quite early. Her company did not seem to have any intention of supporting her, and she very quickly found a sugar daddy for herself.

Gu Yuwu did not say any unpleasant words to Lin Xiaowan. She only said, “I don’t think that’s her boyfriend. He’s just an… investor. She probably found a ‘way’ for herself…”

Although Gu Yuwu’s words were vague, Lin Xiaowan understood them. She was not a fool after all. She was slightly shocked. “Oh, so that’s the case…”

Then, Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “You don’t seem to like her very much. What’s wrong? Is her acting bad?”

Gu Yuwu had a headache when she heard this. “How should I put it? Although she used her connections to get this role, her acting skills are not bad. 1 heard that she took acting classes before this so her skills barely passed. She’s just a supporting actress so she doesn’t have many scenes. Moreover, to be honest, she’s quite hardworking. She’s not a burden to the team. She’s also very good with her words and knows how to do things…”

“However, after observing her for a few days, I feel that she’s a little…”

Gu Yuwu thought about it for a moment before she said, “I feel she’s a little too fake…”

Lin Xiaowan’s ears perked up immediately. “What do you mean?”

“It’s like she’s wearing a mask. Although she smiles at everyone, it doesn’t feel real…”

Lin Xiaowan nodded vigorously in agreement and said in a low voice, “I feel the same way! When I first met her, I was actually a little repulsed by her. I felt that what she said was different from what she thought… It’s really strange. It’s not like I know what she’s thinking, but 1 just have this gut feeling…”

Lin Xiaowan sighed and continued to say, “I saw a video two days ago. It said that people have magnetic fields, and sometimes they repel each other. Perhaps our magnetic fields repel each other so 1 feel a sense of repulsion toward her.”

“Perhaps that’s the case…”

Gu Yuwu did not say anything more. Lu Yingxin’s performance was actually quite good. She did not act ostentatiously, and she was also hardworking. Although she did not have many scenes, she would sit and watch others act when she had the time, learning from others.

‘Perhaps our magnetic fields just repel each other…’

“Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. When you’re done looking around, 1’11 bring you to look at the costumes. The quality of the costumes this time is very good. The designer we found is very skilled. The clothes are all exquisite. You’ll definitely like them.”

“Okay. This place is perfect for painting. The scenery is so good. I’ll bring my sketch pad tomorrow and paint something for you, okay?”

Recently, she did not have any lessons with Hong Minhua. However, when she encountered problems, she would still ask Hong Minhua for advice. When Hong Minhua was free, Hong Minhua would also look at her paintings..
