Chapter 12:
At the end of the month, I saw Lin Bailu and Lu Huanzhou again at the audition for "Ten Dreams and Nine Safeties."
Lin Bailu looked at me with disgust.
Lu Huanzhou grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the staircase at the end of the corridor.
"Lu Shuyin, I'll give you one last chance."
He looked down at me, "Publicly apologize to Lulu, give up this audition, and go to repent in front of the Buddha.
Otherwise, don't blame me for not mentioning our sibling relationship."
He didn't hold back at all, and my wrist ached.
But I still looked up at him and smiled, "Lu Huanzhou, what sibling relationship do you and I have?"
"Are you finally aware that your cheongsam girlfriend is just a vase? In terms of fair competition, she can never surpass me, right?"
Lu Huanzhou's expression darkened, "You think too highly of yourself."
I stared at him, "Then let's give it a try."
"Ten Dreams and Nine Safeties" is a movie with a female protagonist.
The story is about how the female protagonist, who was a dying little beggar in a dilapidated temple, climbed her way to become the Empress step by step.
In my previous life, during the days before I died, this movie was playing on the TV in the hospital room.
Lin Bailu played the Empress, and no matter what situation she was in, she always had a cold and stubborn temperament.
She refused to lose, show weakness, or bow down.
But she shouldn't have been like this.
She should have lowered her head, pretended to be pitiful, and used all the resources around her.
One person's success is built on the suffering and exhaustion of countless others.
That position was already extremely difficult to obtain.
She should not have walked up there with a straight back.
She should have crawled up there, covered in blood.
I have always been confident in my professional level.
This is also my greatest reliance.
