CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 377: IDEALISM_2

Insiders all know that Lew Qingqing has never been married.

This reduced the public opinion risk for Lew Qingqing to a minimum, no longer making her a ticking time bomb. Those production companies that had abandoned her due to the public opinion crisis, should have been seeking her out continuously by now.

Lew Qingqing is not just any replaceable celebrity; after all, she is top-tier, possessing both fame and audience affinity, with strong capabilities to support viewership and attract investments.

Faced with Zhou Yun’s skepticism, Lew Qingqing revealed a bitter smile and said, "Who would dare to hire a pregnant actress?"

Zhou Yun harbored doubts about Lew Qingqing’s words.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with the current market. For an actress of Lew Qingqing’s caliber, let alone being pregnant, even if she were physically incapacitated and unable to move, as long as she was willing, production companies would find a body double to digitally insert her throughout the production.

Lew Qingqing definitely wasn’t lacking in acting opportunities.

"Are you planning to have this child on your own?" Zhou Yun decided to switch the topic and asked.

"Yes." Lew Qingqing nodded.

"What about Li Ci?"

"He currently does not want to marry me." Lew Qingqing shrugged indifferently, "I guessed as much. He’s not even twenty yet, how could he be willing to commit his entire life so soon?"

Zhou Yun asked, "What about you two now?"

"We broke up." Lew Qingqing said, "I dumped him. Since he doesn’t want to take responsibility, I didn’t want to keep him tied to me."

"I saw news saying that you and he had broken up a while ago, just not announced officially, did your side arrange this?" Zhou Yun asked.

This kind of press release wasn’t officially issued, possessing no official significance, but it frequently appeared whenever people questioned, "Doesn’t Lew Qingqing have a boyfriend who is still in college?"

— Lew Qingqing had already broken up with that boyfriend who was still in college.

Zhou Yun looked at Lew Qingqing and asked, "Was it worth it to do so?"

"There’s nothing about it being worth it or not. Although it was an accident, he brought me a child, and I want to keep this child." Lew Qingqing said, "Zhou Yun, I know we’ve had some unpleasant things happen between us before, but we don’t really have fundamental disagreements. Let’s make peace."

She looked earnestly at Zhou Yun as she spoke.

Zhou Yun couldn’t help but sigh.

"We’ve never actually had any real conflicts, nor talk about making peace. In fact, there was a time when I really thought we could become good friends, but perhaps because of Su Yan meddling between us, or maybe it was just our lack of fate, in the end, we maintained this kind of relationship."

"It’s actually quite alright. Not everyone can become friends, at least you’re not like Su Yan."

Lew Qingqing sneered derisively, "You’ve seen the kind of person she is from what happened to me this time."

This time when Lew Qingqing faced troubles, Su Yan took advantage by snatching away two of Lew Qingqing’s endorsements, which quite shocked the circle.

One, for Su Yan’s resoluteness, and two, for Su Yan’s complete lack of morality.

Of course, the story between Su Yan and Lew Qingqing was old news by now. The grudges between these two could almost make for seven or eight seasons of a drama called "Arch-Enemy."

"So are you not going to act anymore?"

"Of course not." Lew Qingqing said, "I have a child to raise, how could I possibly retire from acting? After I give birth to this child, I’ll come back."

"What about right now?"

"I’ve taken up a role as a mentor on a show." Lew Qingqing said, "For now, I just need to maintain my public exposure."

"What did your company say about that?"

"The whole nation knows I’m pregnant, what else can they say? Even if they are unsatisfied, they can only hold it in for now." Lew Qingqing smiled, "I’m happy to have run into you today and to chat for a while. I don’t have many others to talk about these things with."

Meeting Lew Qingqing by chance left Zhou Yun in deep thought.

On her flight to Beijing, she kept thinking, the encounters in life are truly magical. Two years ago, Lew Qingqing was at her peak, matching Su Yan in influence and not yielding before Wei Ruxue. Two years later, Wei Ruxue became incredibly popular with "Spring Cold," securing a super top-tier status, Su Yan’s position stabilized steadily, but Lew Qingqing unexpectedly started to lag behind, and her popularity declined.

Zhou Yun couldn’t have imagined that in just two years, Lew Qingqing would become pregnant.

After the plane landed, Zhou Yun wrapped her scarf again, ready to repeat her tricks.

"Zhou Yun?"

A familiar voice called out.

Zhou Yun looked up in surprise and saw Wei Heyun.

Having not seen him for a long time, Zhou Yun noticed Wei Heyun had become much leaner.

"What... What happened to you recently? Were you abused?" Zhou Yun looked at him in astonishment.

Wei Heyun rolled his eyes, "Go away, it’s you who has been abused."

The two of them walked out of the cabin one after another, Zheng Xiaojue and Cao Jun caught up and were also surprised to see Wei Heyun.

Wei Heyun asked, "Are you here for work?"

"Otherwise why would I come here to be in this cold wind?" Zhou Yun pursed her lips, "And you, instead of staying snug in bed, why did you catch an early flight?"

"Isn’t it what you said? Saying that I usually just dawdle and never do anything proper. I’m doing proper work now, working on a project. I’m flying around, meeting people and talking so much that my lips are almost worn out," Wei Heyun talked about his work, his face full of regret, "If it weren’t for their money already hitting my account, I would have ditched this shitty job long ago. I never thought making a terrible movie would involve so much hassle; there are plenty of shameless people thinking I’m an idiot and trying to scam money from me."

Zhou Yun looked at him, speechless.

Seeing Zhou Yun’s expression, Wei Heyun said, "Don’t look at me like that, you can’t imagine, I just pulled together a bad movie, and it’s also full of twists and twists. Many shameless people think I’m brain-dead, thinking they can scam money from me, scam my ass."

Zhou Yun couldn’t stand Wei Heyun’s swearing every sentence.

"Enough, keep it clean in public places," Zhou Yun said disdainfully. "It tarnishes my image."

Wei Heyun laughed in irritation.

"You really don’t appreciate kindness."

"How am I not appreciating kindness now?" Zhou Yun looked at him sideways.

Wei Heyun shrugged: "Forget it, I can’t be bothered to explain, you wouldn’t believe it even if I did."

"So are you going to say it or not?"

"I’m not."

"Fine, don’t ever say it then, after all, you’re the one who will be frustrated."
