“Happy birthday, Zenan.”

“Thank you.”

Xiao Qinghe held the flowers in her hands and stood in front of Ying Zenan, surrounded by everyone to celebrate his birthday.

Many people came to Ying Zenan’s birthday celebration.

Ying Jing sat in the corner, and someone took the opportunity to talk to her.

“Why is Baby Jing sitting here? There’s delicious food over there. Do you want to go over?”

“Brother Zenan is so popular. Even Xiao Qinghe is here.”

“Don’t tell me Xiao Qinghe likes your brother!”

… .

Ying Jing leaned against the sofa absent-mindedly. Others only thought that she was staring straight ahead. In fact, her thoughts had long flown somewhere.

This was really creepy.

Why was Xiao Qinghe blushing at her brother’s birthday party? Anyone could tell that she had a good impression of Ying Zenan.

Wake up, heroine!

Your hero isn’t here.

Let go of my brother now.

This had not happened in her previous life.

Anyone could be her sister-in-law, but not Xiao Qinghe.

She knew how stubborn Lu Zishu was for Xiao Qinghe later on.

No. She never wanted their family to walk the same path again.

Her brother was an excellent man. He deserved to shine in the business world.

She had clearly tried her best to avoid contact with the original male and female leads.

Why had she still circled back to the plot?

Ying Jing was a little frustrated.

Suddenly something tugged at her hand and she stood up from the sofa.

All eyes were on her.

What happened?

She had no idea.

Ying Zenan pulled her wrist and walked to the cake. Ying Jing had personally bought this cake. Although she had used Ying Zenan’s money to do so. This caused Ying Zenan to complain about her all the way because of this cake.

He said that she was an ungrateful person who could forget to prepare a gift for her brother’s birthday.

Ying Jing was in such a hurry that she forgot to bring money! She did not bring her phone out. In the end, she blamed her brother for dragging her outside.

Among the people who came, not only did Ying Jing buy a cake, but there was also a corner at the side of the room where there were all kinds of gifts piled up. Without thinking, she knew that they must be relatively expensive.

In the past, these gifts had all fallen into Ying Jing’s hands and could be opened for hours.

When it was time to cut the cake, Ying Zenan took out the cake that Ying Jing had bought.

Ying Jing could clearly feel the disappointed gazes of many women in the crowd.

She deliberately glanced at Xiao Qinghe, who was quite calm.

She stood quietly in the crowd beside Ying Zenan.

Ying Zenan did not have a girlfriend, so he pulled his disappointing sister Ying Jing along to cut the cake.

Everyone present knew that Ying Zenan usually had a loose tongue but actually cared a lot about his sister.

There was nothing she could do about the envy.

Ying Zenan cut the largest and most delicious-looking piece of fruit on the cake for Ying Jing and kept a piece for himself. He left the rest to them to distribute. The other cakes were also brought up and quickly divided up.

Ying Jing had eaten a lot at home and had no appetite now.

Her brother was again surrounded by people talking at once. The room was a little noisy.

Ying Jing quietly ran outside.

From time to time, she would scoop a spoonful of cake into her mouth.

“Why are you here alone? You used to love crowds.”

Ye Qingyu walked to her side and saw that she had the cream beside her mouth. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it off for her. Ying Jing was very vigilant and tilted to the side almost at the same time.

The hand that landed in midair was in an awkward position.

“Why are you hiding? I’m just trying to wipe the cream off the side of your mouth.” He made a show of speaking casually as if this were a small thing.

Ying Jing wiped it with the back of her hand. Indeed, there was a small bit in the corner of her mouth.

“It’s not clean yet.”

Seeing that Ye Qingyu was about to reach out again, Ying Jing decisively placed the cake onto the man’s hand. “Then please help me hold this. I’ll go to the washroom.”

He watched her as she fled and lowered his head.

Ying Jing only realized that she had run in the wrong direction when she reached the end. She simply went downstairs and walked out of the clubhouse to sit on a bench by the roadside to enjoy the cool breeze.

Knowing how Ye Qingyu felt about her, she had tried her best to avoid contact with him.

In the past, Ye Qingyu had restrained himself a little. Now, his eyes could barely hide his feelings for the situation.

But she was long past being the real deal. The person he liked no longer existed.

Ying Jing tilted her head back and hung upside down on the back of the chair to look at the dark sky.

She let out a long sigh.

“Miss Ying, Zenan was just asking where you’d been. Why are you sitting here alone!”

Xiao Qinghe still had to rush back to the set and leave early. She did not expect to see a dejected Ying Jing here.

The pretty girl sat there, her posture wide. It was as if she could not realize how much attention her beauty had attracted.

A familiar voice sounded. Ying Jing was so excited that she almost fell off her chair.

Xiao Qinghe.

As soon as she met this person, she felt goosebumps all over her body. The trauma of her previous life was too great.

Xiao Qinghe’s family background was not good. Because of financial difficulties, she almost could not even go to university. Later, Ying Jing heard that a mysterious person had sponsored her studies. At present, Xiao Qinghe was still a nobody in the entertainment industry. She accumulated some popularity by acting in an online drama adapted from a popular novel.

Acting was Xiao Qinghe’s dream.

She had been working hard in the entertainment industry, but her path had not been so smooth in the beginning. Because she refused to be exposed to the unspoken rules, she had been frozen by her management company for more than a year.

It was only when she met Lu Zishu that she slowly became popular.

“Are you and my brother close?”

At the mention of Ying Zenan, Xiao Qinghe became much gentler.

“Not really. Director Ying has helped me before. I’m grateful to him.”

Ying Jing did not know that there was such a thing. How many changes were there in this life that she did not understand?

She suddenly realized something. If she was no longer under the control of the plot, it would also mean that she would not be able to predict how it would go.

The plot might change. It might not. It might fall apart.

“I didn’t expect my brother to help someone.” Ying Jing tried her best to calm down and get Xiao Qinghe to speak.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not intend to hide it from her at all.

“I almost couldn’t study back then because of financial difficulties. It was President Ying who sponsored my education.”

Ying Jing was stunned. Ten thousand thoughts raced through her mind. She never expected that the mysterious person was actually her brother.

Wait a minute, she seemed to have remembered that when she was reading novels back then, she felt that some content was really a waste of time. She chose to skip it.

By the time she transmigrated, she was already following the latter half of the plot. This also led to her being a little unfamiliar with the previous plot.

The novel seemed to outline a few lines about the identity of that mysterious person. Xiao Qinghe later fell in love with the mysterious person who helped her. After confessing to the other party, she was mercilessly rejected and was even disappointed for a long time.
