“Let me take a look.”
If there was anyone who knew the entertainment industry best, it would be Xia Rao.
Mother Tang quickly passed the phone to Xia Rao. Since it was her specialty, Xia Rao’s expression became serious.
The living room fell silent.
There weren’t many scenes related to Tang Xinrou, but Xia Rao watched them back and forth two or three times before she let out a breath and smiled.
“She does have a little bit of talent.”
After receiving the affirmation from her family, Tang Xinrou instantly became excited. “Auntie, do you think I can do it too?”
“I only said you had a little bit of talent,” Xia Rao’s tone was lazy. “The main reason why you did so well was because of this character. Sis, don’t you think this character’s personality is similar to Rourou’s?”
The Tangs gathered together to watch it again.
“Yeah, it’s really similar.”
“What is this called? Acting as herself?”
“Well, I don’t have any objections. As long as Rourou likes it,” Tang Xinrou’s older brother said calmly. “We don’t need to rely on her to earn money anyway. With our family’s status, why would we be afraid that she would enter the entertainment industry and not be able to protect her?”
Mother Tang was helpless. She glared at him. “You’re the one who’s always spoiling her! If your father, your second brother and third brother find out, they…”
“They are even less opinionated than me.”
Eldest Young Master Tang replied matter-of-factly, “I support you.”
Tang Xinrou grinned and rushed into her brother’s arms. “Big Brother treats me the best!”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to be happy.” Xia Rao snorted. “As my niece, you can’t embarrass me too much. Tell me, how did you get in touch with Director Kang? His taste has always been high. Although I admit that your acting is not bad, it is not irreplaceable.”
Eldest Young Master Tang frowned. “Auntie.”
“Yes, I’m here…” Xia Rao looked at him sideways. “Now, shut up.”
Tang Xinrou quickly sat up straight. “Auntie, how can I compare to you! But, I want to be like you in the past, fighting with my own strength. I don’t want to rely on my family.”
“How is my past anything like yours?”
Back then, her family didn’t agree, but Xia Rao insisted on doing things her own way. She went to the film academy alone with her luggage, and didn’t return home for two whole years. By the time her family found out, she had already made some achievements.
In the entertainment circle, she had suffered for a period of time.
She had no background, but she kept standing out in the crowd, so it was easy for her to experience suppression from the people around her. She had gone through a long period of time where she couldn’t make ends meet because she had nothing to shoot and no schedule to follow.
After she became famous, she never mentioned her past so her family never knew about her difficult past.
It was also at that time that she was pestered by the playboy, Mu Jing.
In a calm voice, Xia Rao casually recalled her past experiences.
“You… What do you want me to say about you?! Even if Mom and Dad refused to help you, why didn’t you ask for my help when things were that difficult?” Mother Tang was heartbroken.
She was already married by the time this younger sister was born, so she practically watched her grow up like a daughter.
Moreover, she was the youngest child in the family, and she had always been doted on. If she wanted something, what could she not get? Yet she put herself through so much suffering because of that darned entertainment circle!
Seeing Tang Xinrou fall into silence, Xia Rao curled her lips. “After listening to what I said, what do you think? Do you still insist on persisting on your own?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
Before Tang Xinrou could speak, Eldest Young Master Tang shook his head resolutely.
“If those people dare to suppress Rourou, I will blacklist them!”
“Then you’re going to be very busy.” Xia Rao sneered. “I’m not asking you, I’m asking Rourou. Do you know what I mean?”
