Sister Ren saw the gift box in his hands, took it with a smile, and said warmly, "Then I'll thank Sister Wen for you first. But she's busy now, so I'll give it to her later and let her know you came."

She looked at Lu He's sharp face and almost lost her smile.

Though the Lu family was wealthy, having two kids in the entertainment industry made it tough for entertainment reporters to dig dirt.

Back when Yu Yuan just entered the industry, her bare face went viral for looking about eighty or ninety percent like Lu He. Netizens joked about it a lot back then. But later, Yu Yuan took the wrong path, started heavy makeup, looking like a ghost every day. Meanwhile, Lu He shifted from the pretty boy image toward a tough guy, and the two looked less and less alike.

Now that Yu Yuan had taken off her makeup and Lu He's face had whitened a bit for a role, at a glance Sister Ren almost thought Master Yu had come out of the lounge.

Lu He silently glanced at the tightly closed lounge door. His smile faded a bit, and his usually bold, free-spirited eyes seemed a little listless. He opened his mouth, his expression a mix of hesitation and expectation.

Looking around to make sure no one was there, he brightened his eyes and asked Sister Ren, "Sister Ren, I saw Sister Wen bring someone in just now—was it Yu Yuan?"

Sister Ren knew the crew was full of curious eyes, and the bigger the star, the more people watching, so no need to hide it. She nodded decisively, "Yes, Sister Wen and Miss Yu have some things to discuss."

"Is that so?"

Miss Yu... which rich patron had Yu Yuan hooked up with now, for Sister Ren to even call her "Miss Yu"?

Lu He's disgust was deeply hidden, especially when his long lashes drooped, making his rebellious face look unusually gentle because of those eyes. "I thought I might get to see her..."

His lips were a little pale, and the smile on his mouth was tinged with bitterness.

"Last time, my mom and sister had a falling out with Yu Yuan, and since then we haven't been able to reach her. Today, I finally saw her, and I wanted to ask her to talk..."

Sister Ren had heard about what happened at the Lu family. After all, that incident made quite a scene in the circle, and a lot of people were watching for the drama.

Apparently, Yu Yuan suddenly claimed she was the real biological daughter of the Lu family, and Lu Jingxi was just an imposter who took her place. She demanded the Lu family kick Lu Jingxi out before she would come back.

But who didn't know the Lu family only had one daughter among four sons, who was cherished like a treasure since childhood? Even if she wasn't biological, years of affection couldn't be fake.

At the time, the eldest brother of the Lu family said there was no need to kick Lu Jingxi out because the Lu family didn't welcome Yu Yuan at all. Security was then ordered to throw her out.

The Lu family kept the matter tightly under wraps, but everyone who attended the banquet saw it. The shame was out in the open, just not publicized to society.

Regarding Lu He's request, Sister Ren just smiled without replying.

If Yu Yuan was still the easily manipulated, unsupported controversial actress she once was, a promising actor like Lu He coming to talk to her like this would earn some favors. But things were different now. Yu Yuan was no longer "Miss Yu" of the entertainment circle but "Master Yu" of the metaphysical world.

They were still asking her for help, but she wouldn't do something to make things worse.

That day, she was thrown out recklessly; now, suddenly being all sweet was just making things worse!

Everyone was smart; no need to say it too bluntly. Seeing Sister Ren smile without a word, Lu He knew this path wouldn't work.

He stood there for a while. Sister Ren kept smiling, neither pushing him away nor speaking. Many people in the crew had noticed by now, and his sister was waiting for him too. After a polite greeting, Lu He strode away.

Once in a quiet spot, he handed his umbrella to the assistant and told him to go back first. He took out his phone and called his sister.

The person who answered wasn't Lu Jingxi or her assistant, but a man's voice.

"Lu He?" The familiar deep voice came through. Lu He was stunned at first, then made a face like he swallowed a fly. "Qin Yide?"

"Yeah, it's me." The voice on the other end spoke slowly, "What do you want with Jingxi? She's filming right now. I'll have her call you back later."

Lu He's eyes widened, chest rising and falling with anger. "You... what business is it of yours that I'm looking for my sister? Why do you have my sister's phone?"

It hit him late, "You're on my sister's set?!"

A light laugh came through, "As an investor, it's normal to come check on the set, isn't it?"

Normal my ass! Lu He despised the guy.

Which investor just sat in an office waiting for money to grow? Who would bother to come all the way to the set?!

He furrowed his brow, even angrier than when he ran into Yu Yuan at the set earlier. "Qin Yide! You better behave! I know what kind of person you are! If you dare touch my sister, I'll drag you down with me!"

The other side still laughed lightly, the easy confidence making Lu He's teeth itch with rage. "Oh yeah?"

Lu He's anger stalled. "What do you mean?"

"I'm having lunch today with Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, with Jingxi. It's almost time, so I won't bother you."

"Qin Yide?!" Lu He heard the beeping on the other side and felt like he was about to explode.

He hesitated, caught between his sister with their parents and the scheming Yu Yuan.

He chose Yu Yuan.

Probably if he waited a little longer, he'd be able to crash Qin Yide's lunch... right?

In Wen He's lounge, Zhou Yu watched as his master pasted several talismans around the mirror in the makeup room, tying the mirror up like a rope. Then, rolling up his sleeves, his hand passed right through the mirror.

The half-height mirror in the makeup room rippled like the surface of a lake stirred by wind. Suddenly, the sunlight by the bed was blocked by dark clouds, and the room's light dimmed. Zhou Yu seemed to hear wailing coming from inside the mirror.

He nervously stared at his master's expressionless face, then secretly took out a talisman from his pocket—given by either his grandmaster or granduncle—and held it steadily against his chest, hoping a single glance from his master would send him to help.

But he still overestimated his role in this.
