Chapter 426: Inexperienced in the Ways of the World

Jiang Rou followed closely behind Xiao Yufan, drawing countless envious glances from passersby. Though she looked as ordinary as any girl next door, her breathtaking beauty and stunning figure were enough to make any man fall head over heels. Especially in this moment, there was a gentle charm about her.

“Thank you, Fan Ge…”

A beautiful smile curved her lips as she smiled sweetly. Her beauty could indeed captivate a city. Xiao Yufan believed that, with some polishing from the Reincarnation Entertainment Company, Jiang Rou could become a woman who could rival Lin Jiayao.

“Isn’t it only natural for me to protect my girl?”

He casually wrapped an arm around her delicate waist. Jiang Rou’s body quivered slightly but she didn’t resist. After all, she had told others that Xiao Yufan was her boyfriend, so she thought he should act like one.

“So where do we go next? I don’t really want to go back yet…”

“Let’s eat first. Then I’ll take you to watch an interesting show!”

Thinking about what he was about to do, Xiao Yufan’s smile carried a hint of menace. Since someone had set their eyes on Jiang Rou, he would bring her along and see if that person had the fortune to even think about her…

“Mm!” She nodded softly, saying nothing further. This time she had come to Linjiang with great hope, but had returned disappointed. She didn’t want her mother to worry too much, so she wanted to stay in Linjiang for a while to clear her mind.

In the hotel lobby, they chose a seat near the window and sat down…

“What do you want to eat?”

Looking at the quiet and graceful Jiang Rou, Xiao Yufan felt a ripple in his heart. If not for her family circumstances, this girl could definitely be a proud princess. Now, she seemed more like a fallen fairy.

“I’m fine with anything, as long as Fan Ge is here…”

She replied softly, her voice trailing off at the end, yet Xiao Yufan heard every word clearly. It seemed this girl was truly serious about him. Xiao Yufan never turned down a beautiful woman.

“Then we’ll just order randomly!”

He called over a waiter, gave a few simple instructions, and the waiter left. This Hundred Family Hotel was actually part of the Qiao Group’s business empire. Even if he dined and dashed, no one would dare to stop him.

“How did they get in touch with you? How could someone like that be trustworthy?”

Thinking about those two scoundrels, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but feel concerned. If he hadn’t been in Linjiang, this girl might really have been taken advantage of. The entertainment industry was too murky, and Jiang Rou was still inexperienced.

“They said a famous director took a liking to me, so they wanted to sign me. I didn’t think much of it…”

Jiang Rou herself felt some fear. If Xiao Yufan hadn’t been here, no one could predict what might have happened. Fortunately, this man was by her side. This incident made her realize a lesson: there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

“A famous director?” Xiao Yufan snorted coldly. Tonight, he would make sure that so-called famous director lost all interest in women forever…

“Do you really enjoy being on stage so much?”

In Jiang Rou, Xiao Yufan saw the shadow of Lin Jiayao from the past. That girl had also pursued her dreams relentlessly. However, there was a big difference, because the Lin family had sufficient financial resources.

“I really love that feeling. It’s been my dream all along. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to film school. And since my family has already sacrificed so much for me, I really don’t want to disappoint them!”

Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a bit of moisture as she felt both hopeful and disappointed. Her dreams were rich and full, but reality was harsh.

“Don’t worry. With your qualities, you can definitely go much further. I have a few friends at Reincarnation Entertainment. If you go there, they’ll definitely give you opportunities. But I won’t help you much. Only real talent is true capital!”

With just one word from Xiao Yufan, Jiang Rou could become an overnight sensation. But he didn’t want this girl to feel anything strange, so he spoke rather subtly.

He didn’t want her to think he was doing her a favor, so letting her climb to the top step by step seemed like a good method.

“Fan Ge, do you really know people at Reincarnation Entertainment?”

Jiang Rou seemed very excited. But when she thought about the relationship between Lin Jiayao and Xiao Yufan, her voice immediately became subdued. Obviously, she knew that Reincarnation Entertainment was owned by that woman who stood on the pinnacle.

“I do know them, but I can’t help you much. Everything still depends on yourself!”

This girl was sensitive, so Xiao Yufan naturally couldn’t say too much. As for her choices, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t force her too much either, after all, she had her own life to live.

“I believe in Fan Ge, and I believe in my own ability to go much further…”

Jiang Rou said softly, which somewhat surprised Xiao Yufan. He hadn’t expected this girl to agree so readily.

Xiao Yufan felt somewhat reassured. He not only helped Jiang Rou but also found a promising new talent for Reincarnation Entertainment. He believed Jiayao would be very satisfied.

Jiang Rou’s thoughts were very simple. She just wanted to know more about Xiao Yufan. At least from what she knew, there were already three women, including Lin Jiayao, who were his.

The dinner passed in a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Jiang Rou really enjoyed this feeling. Unconsciously, Xiao Yufan had already planted a seed of affection in her heart. Or perhaps from the very beginning, she had been very curious about this man.

“Come with me and watch an interesting show. I’m sure that famous director is waiting for you…”

After finishing their meal, Xiao Yufan recalled the information Xiao Dao had brought him. From those two men, he had already learned that the so-called famous director was also in Linjiang. It looked like tonight would be fun.

“Why should I meet him? From those two, we can already tell that this famous director isn’t a good person either. It’s precisely because of scoundrels like him that the entertainment industry has become so dirty…”

At the mention of the director, Jiang Rou immediately showed her dislike. Previously, this director had even visited their college, and at that time, Jiang Rou had greatly admired him. But now, he seemed no different from those shady directors.

“Exactly. So I want to rid the entertainment industry of trash like him, to prevent more girls from being harmed by this guy!”

Xiao Yufan said with a smile, though his smile carried a cold, menacing edge. It wasn’t just that the director had ill intentions toward Jiang Rou; Xiao Dao had also found out that the people who had attacked Guan Tiansuo before were also hired by this man…
