The Liao and Lin families were not just separated by a wall; their parents were also long-time friends.
Although there was a significant wealth gap between the two families, when the fathers of both families took off their shirts, rolled up their sleeves, and chewed betel nuts with their legs crossed, they completely disregarded material possessions and instantly became good brothers.
On a rainy day, the two young men became in-laws, hand in hand. The twenty-year-old refined gentleman from the Liao family was set to marry the eighteen-year-old fierce girl from the Lin family overnight.
On one side, Lin Xinyue was overjoyed, her heart racing with excitement, her happiness evident on her face.
She had secretly admired Liao Tiru for a long time and had pursued him both openly and subtly for many years… Truly a blessing from the heavens, she thought with a giggle.
On the other side, Liao Tiru reacted to this news as if struck by lightning; his previously fair complexion turned a shade of dark liver.
He recalled the boisterous girl next door—her loud voice, rough manners, and fiery temper. He even remembered how fierce she looked when stepping on cockroaches… He trembled all over and without a second thought packed his bags and fled into the night.
Liao Tiru's runaway marriage shocked both families into silence. The Liao family hurried to apologize and placate, while the Lin family shook their heads dismissively, laughing it off as a joke, completely ignoring the wounded heart of the eighteen-year-old girl.
Lin Xinyue felt deeply hurt; she was in so much pain that she even contemplated death… But ultimately lacked the courage to act on it.
She thought about running away from home… but without money, she couldn’t take action. She considered revenge… Yes, that’s what she should do! So she resolved to work hard and earn money.
From that day on, she threw herself into her studies, burying her feelings for Liao Tiru under her textbooks.
Remembering how he once said she was rough and unladylike, she decided to learn some skills. However, when she sought out a teacher to train under, they criticized her for starting too late. After much effort, she finally achieved her childhood dream of becoming a Flight Attendant.
As she reached her home and was about to push open the iron gate at the front yard, a luxury car pulled up next door.
She stopped in her tracks. When she saw that it was Liao Tiru who got out of the car, her eyes lit up. “Oh look, isn’t that Producer Liao? Good evening! How’s that dog food treating you?”
Indeed, she came to mock him.
Liao Tiru seemed to ignore her words entirely as he hummed a tune and walked into the house, treating her as if she were invisible.
Lin Xinyue hesitated for a moment but eventually stepped into the luxurious mansion worth millions.
"Hey, Liao Tiru, how rude can you be? Didn't you hear me calling you?" She angrily turned him around.
Liao Tiru suddenly made a funny face at Lin Xinyue, startling her quite a bit.
"Your skin is much fairer now, and your hair has grown long; you've changed a lot since before."
He spoke as if they were good friends, "Tsk tsk, really..."
Seeing his features scrunch up as if he was about to mock her again, Lin Xinyue reached out and playfully slapped his chest, saying, "Well, you've gotten darker and bulkier. No wonder you make such a loud noise when you fall, haha." If he wanted to tease, they might as well do it together.
"Miss Lin," Liao Tiru suddenly said with a serious tone, causing her to instinctively straighten up.
"What is it?"
"I heard you've been doing quite well these past few years, with an eye for investment and making quite a bit in the stock market?"
Lin Xinyue keenly sensed his ulterior motives and instinctively guarded her wallet with both hands. "I wouldn't invest my money in you; we have a deep grudge."
Though the matter was small in terms of face, it was significant regarding reputation. Even though not many knew about his elopement eight years ago, it had left an embarrassing shadow in her heart.
Countless sleepless nights had her throwing darts at his picture until it was shattered beyond recognition before she could finally sleep.
Liao Tiru raised an eyebrow, surprised that she saw through him. He quickly changed the subject. "Lin Xinyue, you're not chasing after me like you did eight years ago."
"Tsk, those were foolish youthful days. Looking back now, I realize how uncouth I was."
With a wave of her hand, she instantly transformed back into her carefree self, but this action startled Liao Tiru into stillness.
Looking at her now and recalling her demeanor on the plane, a bold idea suddenly crossed Liao Tiru's mind. He grinned widely, revealing a flattering smile, and said, "Miss Lin, would you be interested in becoming a star? The money just rolls in."
Liao Tiru gestured with his palm up, indicating that money comes easily.
Lin Xinyue raised her chin and replied haughtily, "I have no interest."
Liao Tiru leaned closer to her, tempting her further, "You can set your own pay."
"Suddenly, I feel like the weather is quite hot..." Lin Xinyue seemed to be swayed and began looking for excuses.
"I'll go get some water," Liao Tiru immediately responded.
"Things without flavor are really hard to swallow..."
"I'll make coffee."
"Too bitter..."
"How about juice?"
"Tsk, it's sweet and sour..."
"I'll go get something else..."
"This is really good!"
Liao Tiru realized he had been played and wore a mournful expression. " sister Lin..."
"How disgusting."
“Miss Lin, your temperament really suits the supporting role I have in mind. You can come and try out for the part first. If you’re not used to the camera, we can adjust...”
“This weather really makes me want to sleep. Mama Liao has made this room so cozy...” Lin Xinyue deliberately changed the subject.
“If you like it, you can come here every day. I wouldn’t mind giving up my room for you to sleep in,” Liao Tiru said enthusiastically.
Lin Xinyue turned around and suddenly bumped into Liao Tiru, their faces almost touching, and the air instantly became a bit heated.
In the next moment, both of them stepped back simultaneously, saying in unison, “Don’t take advantage of me—”
Lin Xinyue glared at Liao Tiru. “That’s something a girl shouldn’t say.”
Liao Tiru crossed her arms. “I’m the one being coveted here.”
“Liao Tiru.”
“What about it?”
“I’m telling you, if I’m acting, you’re just a pig.”
“Do I care?! If I want you to act, you’re just a turtle.”
Their second encounter was still filled with sparks, while serious matters drifted away like clouds on the horizon.
