Adler Lu and the Facade of Fame Chapter 4

"Brother... Cheng Er, what's going on?"

Flynn Chen carefully poked his head out from behind Victor He and looked in the direction where Adler Lu and the others disappeared.

Victor He's smile did not reach his eyes: "Why, do you really think he has changed his ways?"

Flynn Chen was puzzled: "We are already married, and we are no longer involved in the situation. Isn't this a sign of relief?"

Victor He raised his hand, carelessly toyed with a string of sandalwood beads on his wrist, and chuckled, "Marrying a male celebrity could be true love."

"Then he is..."

"On a whim, on a whim, on a whim... You don't know whether a dandy needs a reason to do something?" He glanced at Flynn Chen, who cleared his throat and nodded in agreement.

After adjusting his cuffs, Victor He took off his glasses and hung them gently on his collar. Without the lenses, his eyes were even darker. Although he was smiling, he gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

"Then... can Brother Cheng feel relieved now?" Flynn Chen asked tentatively.

Victor He shrugged: "How do I know about other people's family affairs?"

"How do you plan to act?"

Dexter Cheng was sitting on the sink, with a messy collar and a sense of laziness.

Adler Lu was in a good mood after getting his reward, and the aggressive energy in his body was reduced a lot. He stood next to Dexter Cheng and fixed his hair in the mirror.

"Play the role of being strong on me."

"Fine. Like something I would do."

"But let's discuss it, boss." Adler Lu held the table and turned to look at Dexter Cheng. He was talking about deliberation, but his attitude was extremely tough, "You can touch me as little as possible."

He is naturally sensitive, and his conditioned reflex reaction is much more intense than that of ordinary people. He almost missed and trapped him just now when he faced Victor He.

The intention was to give Dexter Cheng a warning, but unexpectedly, the man said without thinking: "It can't be done."

Adler Lu raised his eyes, expressionless.

Dexter Cheng sneered and said, "Don't look at me like that, you think I think so."

"Would you like to think about the contradiction yourself? Let me use force, but don't let me touch you. Don't say this. I haven't done it ten times or a hundred times. I have never seen such a strong method."

Adler Lu felt baffled.

It was clear that Dexter Cheng was speaking frivolously, but his mind was filled with the condescending attitude of the man he had seen before, speaking in the same flirtatious tone, threatening life and death.

Even though Adler Lu was used to seeing men and women with incredible acting skills in the entertainment industry, he had to say that Dexter Cheng was extremely good at pretense and disguise. Ridiculous and horrifying.

Thinking about it, Adler Lu frowned and replied casually: "Don't touch some places, and you can do whatever you want with the rest." Just treat it as if you were acting opposite disgusting people, and your professionalism must be on the line.

"For example?" Dexter Cheng asked.

"ear."

I had just been blown by someone, and now I was still feeling faintly hot.

The latter glanced at the reddish tip of his ears, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay, I got it."

Adler Lu felt that he had nothing to explain, and consciously leaned forward to make way for the sponsor's father, signaling Dexter Cheng to go out first.

The latter didn't feel inappropriate at all. He stood up straight, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the door.

Adler Lu heard footsteps ringing in his ears, but suddenly stopped.

He glanced towards the door with his peripheral vision, and saw Dexter Cheng stopped at some point, half-turned to look at him, thoughtfully.

"Don't touch your waist anymore."

This was the first time that Tessa Tong  attended the banquet as the third young lady of the Tong family.

When she was a teenager, she was obsessed with chasing stars and dreamed of becoming a big star. So she cried and argued with her family about her intention to debut, but the Tong family returned without even trying to persuade her.

She was the youngest and the only girl in the family. The elders of the Tong family doted on her. Seeing her persistence, they eventually followed her. They kept saying that she should be responsible for herself. But in the end, she had nothing to show for after so many years. They didn’t get out of it either, they were fed with good resources either overtly or covertly.

I brought her to this banquet in the hope that she could gain some popularity and make connections that would be useful to her career.

But Tessa Tong  couldn't understand the good intentions of the Tong family. She remained at this breathless party for an hour or two. I just feel bored, depressed and restricted.

She didn't know anyone at the party and was afraid of them. As soon as her brother left, she stayed in a corner, smiling awkwardly to anyone who came to talk to her, and drove away countless young ladies from aristocratic families who wanted to make friends.

After another hour, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She patted her clothes, got up and prepared to leave the venue, but the next moment she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Her eyes widened and she rubbed again and again to make sure she saw it right.

Adler Lu? Brother Lu?

Why is he here?

Not only did Tessa Tong  know Adler Lu, but she also thought she was quite familiar with him.

Although she is confused, she has been recruited into many good drama groups by her family. Among them, there are many plays in which Adler Lu is in charge.

Everyone in the crew agreed that she was a resource person who had gone through the backdoor, and they gave her a lot of looks and treated her differently, both secretly and overtly. Only Adler Lu didn't roll his eyes at her and was willing to play with her. That is to say, Tessa Tong  survived the devilish time on that crew by repeatedly saying "Brother Lu" and "Brother Lu" short. She sincerely regarded Adler Lu as a friend and provided help in times of need.

She wanted to go up and say hello to Adler Lu, but there were too many people of all kinds at the banquet, and the interest relationships were too complicated. The reason why Adler Lu appeared here was not clear. After all, Tessa Tong  grew up in a wealthy family. As a person who later entered the entertainment industry and worked hard, he still thought clearly about the pros and cons.

She stood still, planning to wait until the time was right before stepping forward to say hello, but the next moment she saw a man walking out of the crowd. He held Adler Lu in his arms from back to front, with his chin still on Adler Lu's shoulder. Adler Lu was obviously frightened by him, and the expression on his face could not be said to be pretty. It looked like resistance or pure embarrassment.

When she saw the face of the man holding Adler Lu clearly, Tessa Tong 's hair exploded.

She remembers this person! The second son who got married became Xiao.

She still remembered her brother's contemptuous look when he mentioned this person, saying that the family's reputation was ruined by people like him and Flynn Chen.

Dexter Cheng is an out-and-out B@st@ard and second-generation ancestor, even if she doesn't often interact with the aristocratic family, she knows it.

She didn't care about human relations or the right timing at the moment. She subconsciously wanted to save Adler Lu from the predicament.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"

She quickly stood up from her seat, held up her skirt and rushed into the crowd. She pushed through the crowd and stood next to Adler Lu.

Ignoring the "pendant" on Adler Lu's body, Tessa Tong  grabbed his hand and said, "Why are you here! What a coincidence!"

Unexpectedly, a girl would bump into him. Adler Lu subconsciously ducked back and bumped into Dexter Cheng's chest, stepping on him along the way.

Dexter Cheng groaned in pain and almost lost control of his expression.

After calming down, he put Adler Lu's shoulder on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Niannian, who is this?"

Adler Lu smiled awkwardly, tilted his head and replied, "Ah, my friend."

If the previous embarrassment was staged by Adler Lu, then the one now is the real deal.

There is no other reason.

He didn't recognize the girl who rushed up to him.

He just thought she looked familiar, maybe he had seen her somewhere, and from this he could tell that she might also be from the entertainment industry, or maybe they had met and been colleagues before. Other than that, there aren't many details.

If I forget where it is. It is said that there are certain types of people that cannot be deeply friends with.

One is a person with a refutational personality, and the other is a person who gets embarrassed easily after getting acquainted with them. The last type is a person who is nice to everyone and is familiar with everyone.

If you ask anyone in the circle who do you think is the most popular actor, no surprise, no one's answer will avoid the words "Adler Lu".

It is a recognized fact that Adler Lu has many friends. Basically anyone can tell a touching friendship story about him. Too many people say that the best buddy in their circle is Adler Lu, but they have never seen Adler Lu say who is their close friend.

When asked by others, he always laughed and said, "Anyone who talks about it will offend other people." In fact, he knew deep down that he had never regarded anyone as a true friend.

Everyone likes him for his sunny, funny and high emotional intelligence, and his friends belong to that "Adler Lu". As for himself, Fan, he doesn’t need such a thing.

There are countless "iron men" around him, and the only ones who can clearly see his true nature after walking around are Zhao Xiaowan and Zhou Shiqing.

One of them doesn't deal with him, the other is his love rival, and neither of them are friends.

So it's unrealistic to try to make such a person remember the little girl who once sought refuge on the set. Recalling that he might be a colleague was Adler Lu's limit.

But fortunately this embarrassment did not last long.

A slightly surprised voice came out from the crowd.

"Xiaoya? What are you doing here?"

Adler Lu heard the sound and looked over, only to see a man in white standing on the edge of the crowd, looking towards him with a frown.

Tessa Tong  caught a glimpse of this man and muttered guiltily: "Brother..."

Marshall Tong took two steps in, bowed to everyone and explained, "Everyone, this is my sister, Tessa Tong . She doesn't often come out with the family, and she doesn't know much about etiquette. Please forgive me."

Adler Lu silently recited the word "Tessa Tong " and searched in his memory for a long time before he remembered that there was such a person. They once acted together on the set of "Famous Family". This girl went out the back door and everyone in the set didn't like her.

Adler Lu did not reject her, but to be honest, he had no sympathy for the cold reception she received. However, the director couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he wanted him, a popular person, to deal with it and be the good person who helped.

If it was a young lady from the Tong family, it would explain why she had such good resources.

But in his impression, they were just colleagues who were superficial. What is this girl doing now...?

Tessa Tong  was not stupid, and her brother was obviously here to rescue him, so she walked down the steps smoothly.

"Brother, please scold me gently. I'm so excited to see Brother Lu..." She shook Adler Lu's arm and showed a harmless smile.

Marshall Tong was stunned and said, "You know Cheng Husband..."

"Xiaoya and I have acted together." Adler Lu suddenly interrupted.

Tessa Tong  heard Adler Lu mentioning the movie they had worked with together, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, "Famous Family", brother, you also said you have seen it!"

Hearing this, Marshall Tong smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, celebrities are high and glamorous, but in the eyes of people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they are not considered to be high-class people. In the eyes of these people, actors and stars are just people who have fun, conversational material and playthings, while the entertainment industry is a playground for dandy young men. They invest a little in this one today and play in that one tomorrow.

A prince like Marshall Tong, who is waiting to inherit the throne, doesn't bother to watch a shoddy popular TV series. Saying that he has watched it is just to entertain his younger sister.

But at this moment, he was among people with the same class status as him. He had a younger sister who wanted to become a starlet even if she didn't inherit the company, which made him a little embarrassed. Not to mention that this younger sister was dragging the second son into a family. husband.

"My sister is also an actress?"

A voice in the corner brought Marshall Tong back from his thoughts. He almost immediately recognized the owner of the voice and hurriedly replied, "Yes. My sister is not sensible and likes to make mischief."

"You can't say that."

The person in the corner who was sitting originally stood up when he said this. He had a face that was 60 or 70% similar to Dexter Cheng's. When he stood up, the crowd consciously parted ways.

"It's a good thing to be young and have dreams. Actors are also serious professions, isn't Adler Lu the same? What nonsense is this?"

Only then did Marshall Tong realize that he had made a mistake. Seeing Adler Lu enter the Cheng family, isn't he trying to criticize the new second wife of the Cheng family by saying that she is a nonsense actor?

He waved his hands hurriedly: "How can she compare with Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu is really accomplished. This girl is just a little girl playing house, and she has to rely on support from her family."

Benedict Cheng turned around and chuckled, picking up the wine glass on the table: "I'll have someone pass you some directors' business cards later. She's still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Marshall Tong was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it on his lips. He said respectfully: "Her qualifications are here. It will be difficult for her to compare with Mr. Lu in many years. But I still want to thank Mr. Cheng."

The rather embarrassing situation was resolved by her brother and Mr. Cheng in a matter of seconds. Tessa Tong  secretly smacked her tongue at the horror of human semen. But before she could rejoice for long, someone's words made the scene ugly again.

"Has he still achieved something? So powerful?" Perhaps due to the pressure from his brother, Dexter Cheng didn't know when he loosened his grip on Adler Lu, straightened up, and leaned on the wine table without formality, thinking. He looked at the figure standing in front of him.

"What's the most awesome award for acting? Oscar? Have you won it?"

For a moment, Adler Lu's face turned ugly. It seemed that due to the occasion, he just forced a smile, shook his head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Tessa Tong  became a little angry.

Dexter Cheng clearly didn't take Adler Lu seriously. Whether his words were unintentional or intentional, they were ridiculing and disrespecting an actor. As someone who also debuted in acting, Tessa Tong  couldn't help but refute.

"Mr. Cheng doesn't understand the film and television industry. Looking at China, which actor can confidently say that he can win an Oscar?"

Dexter Cheng fiddled with the tablecloth on the wine table for a while, and said casually: "I think the one named Zhou Shiqing is pretty good. Cast a movie another day and let me see who of you two is better. "

Adler Lu sneered.

He was really feeling a little unhappy now.

How on earth did this person manage to excel in everything except his looks?
