Chapter 146 The Simp Stand-in Quits (20)
As the saying goes, it's not the formidable opponent you should fear, but the incompetent teammate.
Xia Mingwei never expected that before she could even make a move, Lu Ming would be rushing headlong down the path of courting death!
That speed, that posture, you couldn't hold him back even if you tried!
Perhaps Lu Ming had lost his mind, because he actually thought that Li Nianyun ignoring him was some kind of tactic. In order to gain the upper hand in this relationship, he decided to provoke Li Nianyun.
And what is this stimulating method? It's to keep finding a substitute.
I don't know if it's because Xia Mingwei changed the direction of the plot, but he actually found this substitute.
This stand-in is not unfamiliar; she is Luo Jingjing, one of the stand-ins that Lu Ming, the scumbag, found after Xia Mingwei's death in the original plot, using her name.
Upon learning of this news, Xia Mingwei immediately wanted to share it with Li Nianyun.
But she quickly dismissed the idea, because she felt that such a thing would be more exciting if she saw it with her own eyes!
In Lu Ming's circle, everyone's actions are no secret.
The news that Lu Ming had found a body double again and that he and this body double, Luo Jingjing, were inseparable quickly spread throughout the entire industry.
Upon learning the news, Li Nianyun dialed Xia Mingwei's number as fast as she could ever have.
"Did you know that Lu Ming has found a body double again?"
Perhaps this news had a great impact on Li Nianyun, because she stopped using the affectionate term "Brother Ming" and started calling him by his given name.
"I'm not quite sure yet. Why don't you take me to see it? Then I'll give you some advice!"
Xia Mingwei continued to act as if it had nothing to do with me, appearing entirely concerned for Li Nianyun.
After thinking about it, Li Nianyun agreed.
To meet this stand-in, Li Nianyun organized a party and invited some friends to attend. Of course, Lu Ming was among those invited.
Upon receiving the invitation, Lu Ming became even more certain of his guess.
It seems that Li Nianyun still has her own principles; her previous actions were just a young girl throwing a tantrum!
Look at him, with just a little trick, she obediently clung to him again.
To prove his "devotion" and to give Li Nianyun a warning, Lu Ming decided to bring Luo Jingjing along to the party!
On the way here, Lu Ming's lips never left his mouth.
But when Lu Ming arrived at the party hall, he found that he couldn't smile anymore!
To Lu Ming's surprise, not only did he bring an uninvited guest, but Li Nianyun also invited Xia Mingwei to the party!
Now his white moonlight, his ex-student stand-in, and his current stand-in are all gathered together!
"long time no see!"
Xia Mingwei greeted Lu Ming politely.
Lu Ming looked at the two people in front of him and forced a smile, "Long time no see!"
"I'm not particularly curious about you today, but I'm very interested in the woman you brought! May I ask who she is?"
Xia Mingwei did not intend to let Lu Ming off so easily, but continued to press for answers.
In the brief moment of Lu Ming's silence, Luo Jingjing could no longer hold back and replied, "My name is Luo Jingjing. I'm Lu Ming's date tonight, and also his girlfriend!"
After saying this, Luo Jingjing lowered her head shyly.
Lu Ming glared fiercely at Luo Jingjing. Who gave her the audacity to talk nonsense outside? How dare she even dream of being his girlfriend? Does she deserve it?
"Oh, I see!"
Xia Mingwei deliberately drew out her tone, but anyone who heard her could understand the implied meaning in her words.
Lu Ming knew that Xia Mingwei was trying to cause trouble, but with so many people present, he couldn't vent his anger and could only suppress it.
He stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said fiercely to Xia Mingwei, "I don't want to dwell on the past, but if you cause any more trouble today, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei did not suppress the smile on her face, but instead replied with a cheeky remark.
"Oh dear, are you going to be so polite? I'm so scared! I'm so scared my heart is going to fall out!"
That was incredibly infuriating. Lu Ming pointed at her nose, "You..."
But seeing the crowd gradually gathering around him, Lu Ming, who prided himself on his good manners and didn't want to become the subject of gossip, pulled Luo Jingjing away!
After getting rid of the two annoying people, Xia Mingwei met Li Nianyun.
Li Nianyun had witnessed what just happened from the attic. Seeing Xia Mingwei again now, Li Nianyun felt a mix of emotions.
She didn't know what to say to prove that Lu Ming loved her!
All that could be left was a dry, curt "You've come?"
Xia Mingwei pretended not to hear the embarrassment in her words, and instead affectionately put her arm around Li Nianyun's arm.
"Do you have time? Let's talk!"
Xia Mingwei leaned close to Li Nianyun's ear and spoke in a very soft voice.
Faced with Xia Mingwei's sudden approach, Li Nianyun's body was extremely stiff, but she still agreed to Xia Mingwei's suggestion! Then the two went upstairs together.
Everyone who witnessed this was stunned. Weren't they rivals for love? When did they become so close?
The two went upstairs and found a secluded room. They entered the room one after the other and closed the door.
"What do you seem to think of your Ming-gege now?"
Xia Mingwei knew that Li Nianyun definitely disliked Lu Ming at this moment, but she insisted on pointing it out. Why did Li Nianyun always call him "Brother Ming" back then, making her feel uncomfortable?
Upon hearing Xia Mingwei's words, Li Nianyun's face immediately fell, and she said irritably, "He already has a new love, what opinion can I possibly have?"
"So what are you thinking right now?"
“I used to think that you were an obstacle in my relationship with Lu Ming, and that getting rid of you would put everything back on track! But when I saw that stand-in today, I realized that I was wrong!”
Li Nianyun sat in the chair, her eyes vacant, and murmured.
"He doesn't love you at all, nor does he love me, and he certainly doesn't love the stand-in he's with now! He only loves the novelty that the so-called 'stand-in' brings him! He takes advantage of our affection for him and does whatever he wants! He uses the guise of liking someone to play with another girl's feelings. Lu Ming is really disgusting!"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei nodded in satisfaction. She had certainly had a lot of encouragement from Li Nianyun to bring her back to reality, this love-struck girl.
She opened her arms to Li Nianyun, "Congratulations, sister! You've escaped the sea of love-struck fools!"
After saying this, Xia Mingwei paused, "So what are you planning to do next?"
