Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Lu Xingzhi scoffed, "She won't be able to show off anymore. She has already been banned. All her advertisements and performances have been suspended. Her roles have all been changed. Many of her endorsements have also been terminated, even those high-paying ones."

"Sister told me that she had already terminated her contract with Zhou Hailan. She has signed Zhou Hailan's junior sister, a new hot actress who is much more sensible than Zhou Hailan. At least she is a little more likable than Zhou Hailan."

Zhou Hailan's company did not have a falling out with Lu Yuqing because she had signed another of their actresses. It was all about money. The company would still make a lot of money.

Furthermore, Zhou Hailan's reputation had worsened. The management company would freeze her activities even if the government did not ban her. Things would be harder for her when her management company gave up on her.

"She must have come here because she was desperate. She must have some connections, too, if she could find her way here." Jiang Yao praised her efforts. She must have some skills to be able to find them.

Lu Xingzhi smiled and did not tell Jiang Yao that Zhou Hailan could find her way there because her previous financier knew him. Zhou Hailan knew he was there, so that person must have told her.

He stopped the car in front of their house. Jiang Yao took her things and got out of the car. Even though she knew that Zhou Hailan was waiting for her, Jiang Yao was not prepared to let Lu Xingzhi go out to see her.

She still remembered how Zhou Hailan had bullied Lu Xiaoxiao. After that day's incident, she and Lu Xingzhi did not have time to do anything, but he had asked someone to ban Lu Xiaoxiao. Therefore, they had gone back and forth with that issue. Zhou Hailan dared to go so far, so she must be prepared to face the consequences.

Jindo City had always been a place full of hidden talents. There were many families with officials and wealthy members. Zhou Hailan had merely relied on a man to mingle in the circle. She was arrogant when she became famous. She became conceited and self-righteous.

No one would care how she flaunted her power if she had not bullied Lu Xiaoxiao. However, she had done just that.

Neither Jiang Yao nor Lu Xingzhi cared about Zhou Hailan. The first thing Jiang Yao did when she entered the house was open the refrigerator. However, just as her hand reached in, Lu Xingzhi grabbed her and dragged her backward. He did not let go until he pulled her out of the kitchen and sat her on the sofa.

"You're not allowed to eat ice."

Jiang Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead and showed it to Lu Xingzhi. "I just want a soda. I'm not eating any ice cream. It's okay. The weather is so hot. I can't stand it if I don't have a cold drink."

"Calm your heart, and your body will cool down. I'll go and cook dinner." Lu Xingzhi tapped Jiang Yao's nose. "You won't be able to stop once you take a sip."

Jiang Yao almost broke down when she heard that. When Lu Xingzhi was about to enter the kitchen, she tugged at his shirt and said, "Just a small cup?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her pitiful expression and tapped her head again.

Jiang Yao liked to eat ice cream in the summer. She would not be able to control herself. She would always complain about it. Jiang Yao had once eaten three popsicles a day, but it was a one-time thing. After eating it, her stomach suffered that night. However, she did not tell him, so he did not know.
