Inside the film and television city, the crew Ji Zeqiu cameoed in was filming in an ancient-style courtyard. The staff had set up isolation lines outside, so fans could only wait at the entrance and were not allowed inside.
A few girls arrived at the entrance and deftly took out their support fans from their bags, excitedly waiting for Ji Zeqiu to come out and meet them.
Lin Xu had prepared nothing and stood in place empty-handed, feeling a bit awkward for a moment.
She had not heard that she needed to prepare these things.
Fortunately, one of the girls had a spare one and lent Lin Xu a fan inscribed with "I love Ji Zeqiu."
Lin Xu thanked her and also started waiting with the fan in hand.
At the filming base, in a deserted alley somewhere.
Ji Zeqiu was pressing Shen Qingtang against the wall, one hand gripping her chin, forcing her to look at him.
His expression was exceptionally ugly, "Just now, where did he touch you?"
Shen Qingtang's face was pale as she explained, "Calm down, that was just a scene for the film!"
In the scene, she had to tangle with the male lead, and the kiss was just for positioning.
Knowing well Ji Zeqiu's possessiveness, she had hoped to finish this take quickly while he was not on set.
Yet when she finished, she discovered that Ji Zeqiu had already arrived at the set, watching her with a dark countenance, and she didn't know how much he had seen.
She had just finished her scene when he furiously dragged her here.
"Filming?" Ji Zeqiu said icily, "Who allowed you to film such scenes?!"
The grip on Shen Qingtang's chin tightened.
Shen Qingtang whimpered in pain, her clear, sparkling eyes showing a hint of mockery, "Not allowing me to film intimate scenes... Ji Zeqiu, could it be that you've fallen for me?"
"Fallen for you?" Ji Zeqiu laughed as if hearing a joke, "Shen Qingtang, don't forget that you're just a substitute. I could never like you!"
From the day she accepted Ji Zeqiu's money, she was clear that she was nothing more than a substitute.
A flicker of pain crossed Shen Qingtang's face, but she quickly said seriously, "If I am just a substitute, what does it matter to you whom I kiss?"
Ji Zeqiu sneered venomously, "You like kissing others that much? Then I'll grant your wish."
With that, he bent down to kiss her red lips.
Shen Qingtang struggled ceaselessly, trying to break free, "Let me go! Let go!"
She raised her hand, intending to slap him, but before she could, a bag beat her to it, smacking Ji Zeqiu on the head.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
The person pulled Shen Qingtang out and kept swinging the bag in hand, mercilessly hitting Ji Zeqiu.
While hitting, she cursed, "You damn hooligan, disgusting pervert! I'll beat you to death!"
Ji Zeqiu's face turned ashen, his eyes wide with rage as he grabbed the bag, "Enough!"
"You?" He saw the person clearly and immediately gritted his teeth.
Lin Xu: "..."
So the hooligan was her own son.
Lin Xu's guilt was fleeting, and she quickly stepped forward righteously and twisted Ji Zeqiu's ear.
"Who taught you to bully girls? Haven't I told you before not to bully others, and to be a kind and good child?"
Even if he was her son, when it was time to discipline, she wouldn't hesitate. She absolutely couldn't let him grow up crooked and become a villain.
Despite being 182 cm tall, Ji Zeqiu was made to bend down by Lin Xu grabbing his ear, his presence noticeably diminished.
He held Lin Xu's wrist, protecting his ear, his cheeks flushed red, and it was unclear if he was flushed with anger as he loudly clamored for her to let go.
Shen Qingtang watched this scene, her mouth agape in shock.
Ji Zeqiu, a strong and healthy man, actually couldn't withstand a woman.
What she didn't know was that Ji Zeqiu's ear was a sensitive spot.
Whenever Xiao Zeqiu misbehaved in the past, Lin Xu would grab his ear and make him apologize.
Xiao Zeqiu could never resist and could only obediently accept Lin Xu's punishment.
Twenty years had passed, and many things had become blurred.
Ji Zeqiu didn't have a strong memory of it, but Lin Xu still remembered.
After all, for her, it was only about a month ago. Although her son had grown up, he was always her son, and it was easy for her to handle him.
The commotion here was getting louder, and the agent who hadn't gone far hurriedly came back, only to go dark upon seeing the scene of Ji Zeqiu's ear being pulled.
He quickly stepped forward to separate the two, recognizing the woman after recalling for a moment.
Isn't this Ji Zeqiu's mom fan?!
"How come you are here?" the agent exclaimed in shock.
Lin Xu: "Uh... just passing by."
She had just gone to use the restroom, not expecting the film studio to be so large, and then she got lost on the way back.
While randomly running around looking for the way back, she heard someone yelling for help, so she immediately ran over to play the part of the hero.
The agent, hearing her response, was skeptical.
Last time it was a coincidence she barged into their VIP room, and now she coincidentally showed up here again.
"You aren't a sasaeng fan, are you?" the agent asked suspiciously.
Lin Xu immediately shook her head: "No, no, no! Absolutely not!"
Although she had only recently started following the entertainment industry, she knew all too well that both artists and fans despised sasaeng fans.
Ji Zeqiu finally caught his breath, covering his ear, furious: "I've only had my ear pulled by my mom in all my life! How dare you pull my ear!"
"That proves it, I am your mom," Lin Xu said seriously.
"You dare to take advantage of me?!" Ji Zeqiu was completely enraged, "I'm going to sue her, sue her for intentional injury!"
"Don't be like that, we're family. How about I let your brother explain to you?" Lin Xu actually meant for Ji Tingyang to tell him that she was indeed his mother.
But Ji Zeqiu misunderstood, thinking Lin Xu was deliberately bringing up Ji Tingyang to press him down.
He knew Lin Xu was Ji Tingyang's person, and if he sued her, who knew what means Ji Tingyang would use against him.
"You're ruthless," he gritted his teeth.
"Don't be so hot-tempered, it's bad for your health, cool down a bit," Lin Xu said, pulling out a fan from her bag and considerately fanning him.
"I don't need your fake kindness." Ji Zeqiu pushed away the fan, but then paused when he saw the words on it.
After sizing up Lin Xu, his expression was one of disdain: "Are you still my fan?"
Lin Xu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! The number-one kind!"
Ji Zeqiu suddenly thought of something, the corners of his mouth lifting into his professional sweet smile. It had to be said, that face really was handsome and charming; it was no wonder so many female fans were crazy about him.
He leaned close to Lin Xu, his hand resting on her slender waist, his husky voice enchanting in her ear: "How about you leave Ji Tingyang and be with me?"
If Ji Tingyang took Wen Li from him, then as retribution, why couldn't he take Lin Xu?
Thinking this, a hint of malice also spread across Ji Zeqiu's smile.
Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat, and sweat poured down her back.
Is this heading towards an incestuous affair?!
