Novel Drama Chapter 29 Banquet Situation (3)
Chapter 29 Banquet Situation (3)
“You don’t have the right to blame me. We want to know how you seduce the president. Everyone
knows the news of these two days. We are all a company, why should you hide it?”
Jessica’s voice trembles. Obviously, she is a little bit shameful and angry, so she doesn’t think before
speaking.
Jenny glances at Jessica’s belly. At this moment, she thinks Jessica gets insane, “Don’t you know
exactly why I got reported and became the trending topic? Wait a minute. Are you going to frame Mr.
Lu as well? You’d better not do that.”
Jessica should give up her idea to fame Jenny got pregnant before marriage because Luke is reported
to be the father. Jessica should be the only one who dares to mention that in the company.
“How would I know?” Jessica gets panic and continues to argue irrationally, “It’s nothing to do with me.
Everyone survives in the company depending on capability instead of background.”
Jessica mentions capability again.
Mimi busts into laughter and can’t help mocking her, “Speaking of capability, Jenny was awarded
Golden Bear, the most valuable award in movies, when she was only 17. Even 10 Golden Lily awards
are not as valuable as half a Golden Bear award, are they?”
Recalling this, Jenny frowns.
Jenny becomes famous after that award. But now, she can’t tell if she was to blame for what happened
to her family after she became famous.
Jessica notices Jenny’s panic immediately. Here’s a chance for her to rake up Jenny’s faults like she
always does. It looks if she has got something on Jenny. The tone is mild, but the words are more
sinister, “Mimi, you shouldn’t have mentioned this. If she hadn’t become too famous since then, her
family wouldn’t have been investigated...”
“What are you guys talking about?” A voice interrupts Jessica through the crowd.
Jenny abruptly raises her head and looks at the person with gratitude.
She is never willing to talk about her family issue publicly because it is a pain in her heart. Not many
people know that apart from Jessica. Now she uses it as a weapon.
Luke, being the tallest one, looks outstanding among all male stars from Jade Picture. Now, he is
walking to Jenny calmly.
An idea suddenly occurs to Jessica as she looks at Luke. She says in a soft voice, “Mr. Lu, we were
talking about why Jenny faded out in the entertainment circle after the Golden Bear award. It was such
a good chance.”
“Oh?” Luke glances over Jessica.
He seems to know her.
Jenny is still holding a plate of cake tightly, as if she was about to break it.
She knows exactly what Jessica is going to say. Some people know what happened to her family and
they understand Jessica mentions that to humiliate Jenny in front of Luke.
“Just because something happened to my family. Work is important but I can’t ignore my family. So I
didn’t have shooting jobs during that time.” She says slowly as she grits her teeth.
“Really? What’s so important for you to give up such a good chance?”
Jessica forces Jenny to confess the truth.
Jenny doesn’t mind mentioning what happened.
But it hurts Jenny that her previous best friend uses her secret to humiliate her without caring for her
feelings. Should a friend do such a thing like that?
“What? Isn’t it a rule in Jade Picture that one shouldn’t talk more about stars’ family issues?”
Luke’s words break the weird atmosphere. People around feel nervous to hear such a criticizing tone
from a leader.
Jessica is in shock. Obviously, she doesn’t get used to Luke’s status as a new top leader of Jade
Picture.
She carefully says, “Mr. Lu, we don’t have such a rule indeed...”
“You do now.”
Luke stops Jessica’s conversation and directly speaks out his decision, “You got it?”
Everyone is overwhelmed and says yes successively.
But Luke keeps eye contact with Jessica, as cold as a knife.
It gives Jessica a tremble instantly. She says hurriedly, “Yes, I got it.”
Jenny remains confused why Luke helps her. Perhaps he does that for his grandma.
People scatter one by one. Mimi points at herself to remind Jenny to say something nice for her, before
leaving with her girlfriends.
Jenny responds a reluctant smile as she’s thinking about something.
“Do you know her well?” Luke asks as he gets a glimpse of the enchanting girl.
“No. I didn’t know her well.” Jenny says. When recalled Mimi helped her just now, she adds, “Perhaps
we will know each other well.”
Luke slightly frowns.
“Nobody pleases people with no reason. Be careful with her.”
Jenny mumbles in a low voice, “It all started because of your necklace.”
However, Luke hears every single word of her mumble. He slightly frowns and wonders why giving her
the endorsement would offend her.
“You should be busy. Just leave me alone.” Jenny feels embarrassed for people stare at her when
being with Luke.
“Grandma called and told you not to wear high heels.”
Jenny subconsciously looks down at her high heels but feels helpless, “I’m not really...”
“Then pretend to be. There’s a balcony on the second floor. Go and sit there. Don’t make any trouble.
I’ll look for you when I finish my business.”
Jenny has no idea why his demanding tone gives her some unprecedented secure feeling. She nods
slowly and watches Luke leave her, with some warmth existing in her heart for a long time.
The balcony is enclosed by glass, located at the end of the corridor. In this nice weather, Jenny can see novelbin
many stars in the sky as she looks up. It’s like a warm house. She has no idea of the material of the
glass, which isn’t liable to mist with different temperatures on the inside and outside.
Jenny sits down on a sofa. Soon, a cup of hot milk and a piece of cake are served to her.
“Mr. Lu ordered me to serve you. Please let me know if you need anything. I’ll be out there.”
Luke doesn’t look like such a considerate person.
