Ling Sheng turned around and saw Lu Yubai opening the car window, revealing a smiling handsome face. He even waved at her as she shouted in surprise, “Fifth Uncle!”
Before Lu Yubai could speak, the girl had already called him Fifth Uncle. This made him momentarily stunned. He smiled and said, “Young lady, it’s not safe to be alone on the road at this hour!”
Tsk tsk, there were many people who called him brother, but this little beauty in front of him was the first to call him uncle!
“I’m going to the Pine Tree filming studio. Can you send me there?” Ling Sheng asked him with a smile.
Lu Yubai nodded and got her into the car. “It’s my honor to be able to serve a beautiful lady like you.”
Ling Sheng hurriedly got into the car and sat in the front passenger seat. She looked at him gratefully. “Fifth Uncle, you’re the best.”
Lu Yubai found it strange when he saw the girl beside him acting so familiar. When she called him ‘Uncle’ for the first time, she was a little far away from him. Now, he could hear her clearly. She was calling him ‘Fifth Uncle’ and he was indeed ranked fifth at home. Could it be that this girl was interested in him and deliberately waited here to bait him? “Why are you calling me ‘Fifth Uncle’?”
“My name is Nangong Sheng. My mother is Nangong Lengyu.” Ling Sheng did not intend to hide it from anyone, so she revealed her identity directly. “I’ve seen the photos you took together. You’re Lu Yubai.”
After Lu Yubai heard what she said, he could not catch his breath. He lost his balance and the car almost hit a tree. He turned to look at the girl beside him and his voice changed. “Young lady, you can’t joke about such things.”
Ling Sheng flashed her identification card and showed it to him. “Nan! Gong! Sheng! That’s my name. My mother is Nangong Lengyu, my grandfather is Nangong Lun, my uncle is Nangong Lenghan, and my mother used to be on good terms with you. I know.”
Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she even took out her phone and showed him her family photo with her mother, grandfather, and uncle.
When Lu Yubai heard what she said and saw her identification documents, he’d still have some doubts. However, after seeing the concrete evidence on her phone, he was certain that she wasn’t lying. He felt a little confused and calmed himself down. “How old are you this year?”
The girl beside him looked exactly the same as Sister Yu when she was younger. If not, he would not have been attracted to her and stopped the car.
Ever since that incident, they hadn’t contacted each other for more than 20 years. Sister Yu had taken the initiative to cut off all contact with them.
Ling Sheng said, “22.”
Lu Yubai coughed violently. After calculating the time in his heart, he asked her with a complicated expression, “Where’s your dad?”
He turned around and sized her up seriously. 22 years ago, Sister Yu had only been with Sixth Brother. So this girl was their daughter?
Other than this possibility, he didn’t think about it. Besides, her facial features looked more and more like Sixth Brother.
“My mother said that my father is dead.” Ling Sheng looked innocent as she looked at him and asked, “Do you know who my father is?”
Lu Yubai hurriedly shook his head and shifted his gaze away. He was so guilty that he did not dare to look at her. He said in a low voice, “I don’t know. How would I know?”
Dead? Was the Sixth Brother already a dead man in her heart?
He knew it. She was stubborn but soft-hearted, so she wouldn’t lay her hands on an innocent child.
Ling Sheng sighed deeply and said dejectedly, “I always thought that my mother was lying to me.”
“Your mom is back too?” Lu Yubai did not answer and changed the topic.
“Our family was supposed to attend the wedding yesterday.” Ling Sheng told him about Song Yiyan’s wedding.
“I heard about what happened to the Song family as well. That younger daughter of the Song family is very obedient. It must be that Dongfang Fan, that brat, who is not a good person. He angered her and she broke off the engagement.” Lu Yubai scoffed. “It’s good that she didn’t marry him. That little bastard Dongfang Fan might have many illegitimate children outside. If she marries him, she will be the one suffering.”
He had seen Song Yiyan before. She was an honest and introverted girl who he had helped with styling once before.
When he saw her for the first time, he felt that this girl was not suited to be in the entertainment industry. If not for the Song family backing her up, she would have been eaten up.
However, this lady’s acting skills were quite good. She was very pretty and had a good temperament. She was especially suitable for historical styles and was extremely beautiful.
“That’s not all. He has violent tendencies. When he gets married in the future, he will definitely be a violent spouse,” Ling Sheng added.
She thought about what that bastard Dongfang Fan had done and felt that Song Yiyan wouldn’t let him off so easily.
“It’s true that he beat someone up, but I’ve never heard of him hitting a woman before.” Lu Yubai nodded and said, “The Dongfang family didn’t cause much trouble this time. I guess that Dongfang Fan did something shameful and didn’t dare to blow things up.”
Logically speaking, if one party broke off the engagement between these two great China families, the Song family and the Dongfang family, the other party would definitely not let it go.
The Dongfang family was quiet this time, so they must be in the wrong. That young master of the Dongfang family must have done something wrong!
Lu Yubai sent Ling Sheng to the place. When he saw her get out of the car, he stuck his head out to call her. “Do you have a place to stay?”
Ling Sheng looked at her Fifth Uncle’s handsome face, which was filled with concern. She was so touched that her eyes welled up with tears. Then, she thought about the heartless stinker from the Gu family and instantly felt that Fifth Uncle was better. She nodded. “Yes, I’ll stay with Yanyan.”
“If you don’t have a place to stay, call me. I’ll come and pick you up.” Lu Yubai reminded her again. After all, she was a child from his own family, if he didn’t care then no one would care.
He felt a sense of familiarity from this child. She is a sweet-talker as well and knew how to talk. It made him like her from the bottom of his heart and want to dote on her.
“Okay.” Ling Sheng smiled and made an OK gesture. “Fifth Uncle, drive slowly. Call me when you get home.”
Lu Yubai acknowledged her and felt warm in his heart. He watched as she disappeared from his view before starting the car and driving away slowly.
The Pine Tree was a film studio located near Beijing. The set was a little messy. After the scene where the carriage was stuck on the road ended, the carriage could not be pulled out.
In order to pursue the authenticity of the plot, the director dug a deep hole in the road. More than half of the carriage wheels were stuck, and it was made of solid wood. Dozens of staff members came to push it, but they still could not get it out.
Song Yiyan couldn’t stand it anymore. She put down the script in her hand and walked over. She patted the shoulder of the staff member and said, “Move aside, I’ll do it myself.”
The staff looked at her with a questioning look.. Was she planning to do it herself and pull the carriage out? She’s so skinny and small, any one of the staff here is twice her size. What nonsense is she spouting!
