Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 231 - 231 231 Ji Xinghangs Previous Life Side Story

?Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Ji Xinghang’s Previous Life Side Story One Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Ji Xinghang’s Previous Life Side Story One Ji Xinghang had a dream.

The dream started from his childhood, when he and his mother visited Aunt Jiang’s house next door.

Then he saw a soft, small sister.

He liked the little sister very much, so he visited her every day.

The little sister also liked him a lot, always showing a sweet smile whenever she saw him.

As they grew older day by day, the little sister started calling him “Brother Xing” as soon as she could talk.

After finishing kindergarten, the little girl went to the same elementary school as him.

Then, every day on the way to and from school, he had this little tail following him.

The little tail was delicate and soft and liked to act coquettishly, asking him to carry her backpack and bring snacks every day.

She even skipped grades and was only one grade behind him.

He first went on to middle school and seeing the little girl’s dim eyes, he felt distressed.

And he wasn’t used to being without his little tail, so he encouraged the little girl to skip grades and join him.

The little girl was exceptionally intelligent and skipped a grade to join middle school the following year.

She continued to be his little tail, and they would stick together from morning till night without getting tired of each other.

When he was in high school, his father took him and his mother back to the Imperial Capital.

So he and the little girl were temporarily separated.

However, his attention to her never ceased, and he even demanded that she video call him every day and send him her homework for review.

When he learned that a guy named Shi Ji was constantly following his little girl as an attendant, he was very annoyed.

So he encouraged the little girl to skip grades again and join him.

She didn’t disappoint him and indeed managed to skip grades to be admitted to the university he attended.

He was the male heartthrob of his cohort at Imperial University.

She was a junior and the campus beauty.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for over a year, they didn’t feel estranged at all and continued to stick together.

He joined the student council and became the president.

She didn’t join, but she would go every day to accompany him.

She learned culinary skills for him, rented a house next to Imperial University, and unless there was something else keeping her, she prepared dinner for him every day.

Later, the student council became very busy, and he often worked until seven or eight in the evening.

She would cook dinner and bring it to him.

Students in the student council were extremely envious of him, and some would jokingly say whenever they saw Luo Ning, “Your little wife has come.”

He would pretend to disdain the comment on the surface, but deep down he was pleased and tacitly agreed.

After graduation, his grandparents wanted him to work at Ji Group and even wish for him to have an arranged marriage.

Especially his grandma, knowing that he and Luo Ning were childhood sweethearts from a young age, was afraid that he would marry her.

After all, in their eyes, Luo Ning’s family had no significant background to aid in inheriting the Ji Family fortune.

Back in the day, his grandma did the same thing—despite his dad having married his mom, she still stuck with that other woman, causing many misunderstandings between his parents and ultimately driving his mother away.

All because his mother’s branch didn’t inherit from the Qi Family, Grandma wanted his dad to marry the eldest daughter of the Qi Family, who also liked his dad.

She even deliberately credited his mom’s numerous secret contributions to his dad to that other woman.

She made his dad misjudge people, and although he loved his mother mentally, he always felt he couldn’t disappoint his mother’s cousin, who had shown affection towards him for many years.

“Thus, although he married his mother, he found himself torn between two women.

Of course, his father hadn’t cheated, but he felt indebted to his mother’s cousin, and so he would help her whenever she needed it.

Knowing this, his mother was definitely heartbroken, and with Grandma often making things difficult for her, after an accident, his mother, pregnant with him, secretly left the Imperial Capital.

For the next decade and a half, his father was in anguish, especially after learning that the person he had always felt guilty about was actually an impersonator; the one he kept in his heart and the one he fell in love with were the same.

Because of this, he had a fallout with Grandma and was always searching for him and his mother, never pursuing other women.

After their return, Grandpa and Grandma were fairly nice to him, since he was the only grandson of the Ji Family.

But they were very cold towards his mother.

Of course, his mother was even colder. Since returning to the Imperial Capital, she never visited the old house or paid any attention to the couple.

Because of this, he was also quite distant from the two elderly people.

Now, using his placement in the company as an excuse, they wanted him to marry a woman of a so-called ‘suitable match,’ which he was bound to refuse.

Moreover, because of their attitude, he began intentionally to contradict them.

Even though his father now had full control of the Ji Family, allowing him not to follow Grandma’s arrangement and choose his own marriage partner, he still rebelled deliberately and even entered the entertainment circle.

Indeed, he greatly upset the two elders and felt a gleeful satisfaction.

His little girl had also grown up and even took the initiative to confess her feelings and pursue him.

He felt secretly delighted, but habitually pretended to disdain and then reluctantly accepted her confession; they became a couple.

After Luo Ning graduated, against his wishes, she followed him into the entertainment circle.

He was the kind who, once he decided to do something, would work hard to do it well.

Thus, learning to sing, dance, and act took up most of his time, leaving little to spend with Luo Ning.

She took the initiative to study with him, and during filming, she would prepare lovingly crafted meals for him morning and evening.

He got used to her kindness and the sacrifices she made for him.

Once in this circle, he realized how easily people could change, and he feared his girl might go astray, so he did not want her to stay in the circle.

But she was the same, wanting to excel at whatever she did, and it was very hard to change her mind.

Thus, they disagreed, and he, heartbroken, stood by coldly and let her face setbacks, not helping her.

He hoped she would realize she was not cut out for this circle and then quit by herself.

But Luo Ning never gave up and finally, with his tacit approval, signed with the same company and the same agent as him.

It couldn’t be helped; even if he steeled his heart not to help her, he still wanted to keep her where he could see her.

He was good-looking, learned quickly, and had a talent for the industry, and with his background, he quickly became a top star.

His father also passed off much of the company’s work to him discreetly, under the guise of letting him get familiar with the company’s operations early, so that he could take over the company after he had enough of the entertainment circle.

Apart from the movies he had to act in, the commercials he had to shoot, and the events he had to attend, he spent the rest of his time dealing with the company’s affairs.

Because of this, he again neglected Luo Ning, still hoping she would give up.

But little did he expect his agent to be two-faced.

Telling him that he would take care of Luo Ning but secretly bullying her, suppressing her resources, among other things.

They even crafted a ‘vase’ persona for her.

He was especially busy at that time, so he did not pay much attention to the happenings in the entertainment circle, nor did he follow hot searches or browse social media, so he was unaware of these matters.

Then, at an event, he was suddenly attacked by a hater who threw sulfuric acid, and it was a girl who jumped in to shield him.

Having grown up, he had never before been protected by someone like that.

Looking at the delicate girl, whose clothes were damaged by the sulfuric acid and whose face turned pale from fear, yet who still took the initiative to comfort him, he felt touched at that moment.

He voluntarily took the girl to the hospital and learned her name was Bo Xiangxiang, also a star in the entertainment circle.”
