Before Director Zhang could reply, Liu Ruyan interjected, “If you feel inconvenienced, then let it go. After all, I regard you as the guiding star of the film industry. A single tip from you would surely benefit this girl for a lifetime.” Director Zhang frowned, his tone deep and serious, “Ruyan, we are old friends. For your sake, I will take her in. Coincidentally, there is still an open role for a female character. However, it all depends on the child’s talent and effort.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was overjoyed, “Weiwei, quick, thank Director Zhang.”
Xia Weiwei couldn’t contain her happiness and raised another toast.
Liu Ruyan laughingly said, “Both my daughters are now in your hands.”
Xia Yangyang’s expression remained unchanged throughout the exchange.
Her mood was quite calm.
It was understandable that Liu Ruyan was helping Xia Weiwei get a role.
Liu Ruyan and Xia Weiwei casually sat down at the table together.
When the dinner concluded and it was time to leave,
Liu Ruyan approached Xia Yangyang, “Yangyang, why don’t you stay at our place tonight? You and Weiwei will both join the crew tomorrow. It’d be great if you two could go together, and it would set my mind at ease.”
The film, “Future,” required dozens of different sets.
But the most frequent location was the bustling Sea city.
They were departing for Sea city to join the crew tomorrow.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to go back, but blatantly refusing would equate to slapping her stepmother in the face.
A lot of people outside were also curious about her status in the Xia family and her relationship with Liu Ruyan.
Gu Qichen surprisingly showed up.
Gu Qichen said, “Yangyang will not be going back tonight. She starts filming tomorrow and Aunt Liu, as you’d know, I don’t like being away from Yangyang.”
It was unusual for Young Master Gu to speak so candidly.
A group of people around them hooted and jeered.
But with Gu Qichen’s single word “Aunt Liu,” everyone seemed to understand a bit more.
Todays, Liu Ruyan was soliciting a role for her own daughter; On the surface, it seemed she was leveraging her relationship with Director Zhang, but in reality, it was because Xia Yangyang had a significant part in this movie, and Director Zhang was somewhat considering Xia Yangyang’s image.
Liu Ruyan vigorously referred to her “daughters” in front of others, pretending their relationship was no different from biological.
Yet Gu Qichen’s term of “Aunt Liu” instantly laid bare the facade.
Presumably, Young Master Gu was following Xia Yangyang’s lead in addressing her.
Liu Ruyan had been in the Xia family for over a decade, yet Xia Yangyang never once called her “mother”
This made it seem as though their relationship wasn’t good and that Ruyan’s prior affection at the dinner table was merely a one-sided performance.
Liu Ruyan’s smile stiffened a bit on her face.
However, she still managed to say smilingly, “Youth always have this sort of enthusiasm. If this is the case, then we should be on our way.”
Xia Weiwei glared furiously at Xia Yangyang.
After getting in the car, Xia Yangyang curiously asked, “How come you suddenly showed up?”
Xia Yangyang hadn’t informed Gu Qichen about tonight’s dinner, how did he know she was here?
Gu Qichen looked a bit dejected, “Tomorrow, I won’t be able to see my lovely wife. Of course, I wanted to soak up as much of you as I could tonight.”
Xia Yangyang felt a sweetness in her heart, “The crew will have some days off, don’t worry. I’ll come to see you whenever I find the time.”
“By the time you get a break, even the daylilies will have wilted.”
Xia Yangyang helplessly responded, “There’s not much I can do. You need to work, and I need to work. Just bear with it.”
Gu Qichen raised an eyebrow, “No problem, I’ll visit you then.
