Ye Yixing smiled and said, "Can I come along to watch?"
The two little ones: "Of course! Uncle Ye, we’ve also got some scenes to shoot later."
Ye Yixing: I caught it at the right time.
He had never seen these three little buns acting before.
He wondered if his cousin was busy today, and if he should come over to watch his nieces and nephews act.
Su Xingwan had just received a notice from Director Chen to play a corpse in the "Emperor" crew. It’s the kind of role without any lines, just lying there.
But playing a corpse doesn’t seem that auspicious, so the red packet they gave was quite generous.
Director Chen knew she was short on money, which is why he offered her this supporting role.
In the company, Lu Yun had just finished reviewing a batch of documents and was about to rest when he received a call from Ye Yixing.
"Cousin! Do you have time today? Wanna come to the set to see your nieces and nephews?"
Lu Yun asked, "What are they doing there?"
"It’s amazing, Su Xingwan brought them to the set to play extras."
Initially, Ye Yixing thought the three little ones would play some minor or supporting roles, and they would at least have some lines.
It turned out they were mostly extras without any lines, and they couldn’t even show their faces on camera, earning just some hard-done money.
They were originally the young masters and young miss of the Lu Family. They should have been living luxurious lives, but now they were working for others at such a young age, earning money through hard work.
"Extras?" Lu Yun frowned slightly.
"Yeah, you won’t believe it. True to form as your nieces and nephews, they’re quite lively for their age."
Actually, he hadn’t seen anything yet. He just wanted to brag a bit and make his cousin proud, urging him to come over.
"Alright, send me the address."
Ye Yixing: There’s a scene?
"Great! Cousin, I’ll send you the address right away. Hurry and come over! It’s a limited-time offer."
Half an hour later, Lu Yun, dressed in black clothes and wearing a black hat, sat in a corner of the set.
Ye Yixing glanced at his outfit and was puzzled.
"Cousin, you didn’t have to dress , did you?"
Lu Yun’s lips curved slightly: "My identity attracts attention."
Didn’t need to show off like that.
At this moment, on the set, Su Xingwan had put on a very pale makeup and was lying on a wooden board.
The two little ones stared blankly at this unfamiliar auntie, momentarily unable to recognize her. This kind of auntie looked a bit scary.
"...Auntie." They softly spoke, seemingly wanting to confirm if this was really their aunt.
"What’s up?" Su Xingwan, who hadn’t started filming yet, poked her head out from under the white cloth.
"...Nothing." The two little ones shook their heads.
Zhang Qiaoqiao needed to shoot this scene, and she was standing by, watching Su Xingwan lying on the board, exposing a bit of her head, with a mischievous smile towards the three kids.
She seemed to be struck by something.
Still... pretty cute.
"Zhang Qiaoqiao! What are you looking at? It’s time for your lines. Why are you just standing there?"
"...Oh, oh, oh." Zhang Qiaoqiao quickly gathered her thoughts and got into the scene.
Over at Su Xingwan’s side, the camera didn’t need to be on her all the time.
So when she was free, she could move a bit. At this time, the two little ones lay not far from their aunt, watching her lift a bit of the white cloth over her head, and make a ghost face at them. The two little ones chuckled behind their hands.
Lu Yun saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.
He looked at Su Xingwan’s face, which couldn’t be made out, but her eyes still shone with a gentle brightness.
After Zhang Qiaoqiao finished her lines, Director Chen shouted, "You two little ones, you can lie on those two small wooden boards now."
"Got it, we’re coming!"
The two little ones, already made up as pale as their aunt, quickly lay on the boards, obediently covering themselves with white cloth and lying next to their aunt.
Ye Yixing spoke: "Cousin, I thought Su Xingwan could go to dinner at the hotel with Ye Zhiliang. What a big role she must have, but she ends up playing a corpse here."
Lu Yun: "Did you settle the matter caused by Ye Zhiliang and his son?"
With that, Ye Yixing reacted and scratched his head.
"You already know about Ye Hai?"
Ye Yixing felt a bit embarrassed and turned his gaze back to the set: "Cousin, with our Ye Family’s financial power, we could easily launch her as a lead actress. Should I ask one of Ye Family’s entertainment companies to directly..."
Lu Yun suddenly spoke, "She won’t accept."
"Because she’s Su Xingwan."
What a useless bit of literature.
On set, after they’d finished playing corpses, the camera had already moved on. The two little ones crawled into the white cloth, arching their little behinds and moving like caterpillars to their auntie’s side.
Suddenly, Su Xingwan lifted their white cloth, showing a creepy smile: "Hehe, I found you."
The two little ones wore instantly frightened little faces, evidently spooked by their auntie.
Little Su Yan squatted by and, upon seeing his ghostly pale brother and sister, couldn’t help but laugh.
The two little ones waved to him: "Big brother, come over!"
Little Su Yan hesitated for a moment, then crawled over to join his siblings in the caterpillar game.
While the adults were seriously, passionately acting, the three little ones who were off-camera, under the white cloth, joyfully played and moved around, occasionally stifling giggles.
The filming crew, props team, even the director’s group couldn’t help but look toward the scene of the three kids playing with their auntie.
Ye Yixing watched this scene.
"They’re really having fun!"
Lu Yun gazed deeply at them.
The face and demeanor most similar to Lu Zhichen’s, Little Su Yan, was acting like a carefree child, playing under the white cloth with his brother and sister.
Lu Zhichen, do you see this?
Your son’s childhood is much happier than yours.
Ye Yixing suddenly asked, "Cousin, when will we take them back?"
Lu Yun lowered his eyes, "I don’t know."
And added, "Maybe it’s better not to."
Lu Yun: "They seem happier here than they would be with the Lu Family."
Ye Yixing was puzzled.
How could the Lu Family, with all its resources and wealth, not be better than drifting outside?
Lu Yun’s gaze remained fixed on the set, as did Ye Yixing’s, following his cousin’s line of sight.
The three little ones’ faces were full of joy, their faces flushed with excitement.
He roughly understood what his cousin meant.
