“Hmm…you don’t seem like it!” Sang Qing answered directly and earnestly, “Uncle, the necklace is a very, very beautiful thing!”

"What, you're saying I'm not handsome?" Nie Xin was very unconvinced. Although it was a bit inappropriate to describe him as "handsome," he was indeed a recognized handsome man in the industry, and the title of "Nation's First Love" was not given for nothing.

"No, no!" Sang Qing hurriedly said.

"Then what do you mean? Didn't you say necklaces are beautiful things?"

“You’re not ugly,” Sang Qing smiled, “you’re not a ‘thing’!”

"Sang Qing!!"

This mixed-race kid is misusing Chinese!

...

The new movie is already in the preparation stage, but Tang Yilan can't be happy at all.

When Jiang Can saw her with dark circles under her eyes and a look of despair in the coffee shop, he felt deeply guilty.

"Can Can, let's change the actress!" Tang Yilan was on the verge of tears. "What kind of monster is this Fu Qingyan? It's one thing if she can't even deliver her lines properly, but she can't even express emotions properly! I don't want the title of genius director anymore, okay? I'm not a genius! I can't guide her!"

Jiang Can couldn't help but purse her lips and smile slightly.

Even Cheng Xuerou couldn't push Tang Yilan to this extent back then.

"Yilan, just bear with it a little longer." Jiang Can ordered her favorite sea salt cheesecake, along with a cup of black coffee. "Fu Qingyan isn't a monster; she wants to be a proper actress!"

"ah?"

Tang Yilan showed her the photos.

It's a four-panel collage, all featuring Fu Qingyan's face.

Jiang Can frowned: "Why did you show me four identical photos?"

"Ha, these aren't the same!" Tang Yilan sneered. "They are four different scenes in the movie that the female lead needs to portray!"

Jiang Can's eyes widened in disbelief. It was clearly an expression!

"If it were Wenwen, she could not only make these four different expressions, but also make four more based on subtle differences, so I could choose!"

Tang Yilan was furious.

Jiang Can blinked and remained silent. She knew that someone like Tang Yilan, who pursued perfection in art, wasn't afraid of demanding conditions, but rather of talking to a brick wall!

"Don't worry," she said softly after a while, "Fu Qingyan won't be the female lead."

"real?"

Tang Yilan's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt fully revitalized.

But she quickly became suspicious again: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Given our relationship, do you think I would lie to you?"

Tang Yilan smiled with relief.

"Can Can, Fu Qingyan joined the cast with her own investment; she was chosen by the company as the female lead. Why..."

"You don't need to worry about that!" Jiang Can said confidently. "If I say she's not, then she's definitely not! Just wait, that Meiwei Entertainment will withdraw its investment soon!"

...

Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing secretly investigated Sun Meifen.

Meiwei Brokerage Company was truly an empty shell. Moreover, when they submitted the application, they deliberately concealed the fact that Fu Chengwei had mental retardation and bribed the person reviewing the company's documents, thus making Fu Chengwei the company's legal representative.

If something happens to the company, the responsibility will fall on Fu Chengwei's shoulders, and the Fu family will be the ones to bail him out!

"Sun Meifen's plan is really clever!" Jiang Can bit her lip. "Honey, we have to tell Mom about this. We can't let her off so easily!"

"Don't worry," Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder, "We'll hold back for now, and when the time is right, she'll definitely come to a bad end."

"Then what else can I do?"

"You..." Huo Zhixing touched her belly and said softly with a smile, "You just need to focus on giving birth to our son properly!"

“Yes,” Jiang Can smiled, “I hope that by the time our baby is born, all these worries will be over.”

"It definitely will. Honey, don't show anything on the surface, and tell Tang Yilan to be patient for now and not to give Fu Qingyan the cold shoulder!"

"I know everything!" Jiang Can then remembered something, "Oh right, honey, you also need to find out the accounts Sun Meifen used to communicate with that man. That's the most crucial evidence!"

Huo Zhixing's gaze softened as he gently kissed her forehead. "Understood, my dear wife!"

...

Sun Meifen's right eyelid has been twitching non-stop for the past few days, making her restless and anxious.

She asked Fu Qingyan, "Daughter, what does it mean when your eyelid twitches? What about the left side, and what about the right side?"

Fu Qingyan was busy applying a face mask and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

Sun Meifen snapped, "I'm asking you a question, and you're acting all indifferent! What, you're not even a big star yet, and you're already throwing your weight around? Don't you think about who gave you your success today?!"

"Hey, stop reading! It's all your doing, okay!" Fu Qingyan shouted impatiently, "A twitching left eye means good fortune, a twitching right eye means bad luck! Your right eye has been twitching all day, you're in big trouble!"

"roll!"

Sun Meifen was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made her even angrier. She grabbed a slipper and threw it at Fu Qingyan, almost hitting her in the face.

Fu Qingyan screamed and cried, saying that her mother was being unreasonable. After yelling for a while, she ran back to her room.

Sun Meifen plopped down on the sofa, panting heavily, her chest heaving.

She tried to recall exactly when she started experiencing these symptoms.

I feel short of breath, have chest tightness, feel unwell, and occasionally feel nauseous...

Oh, right!

That was after I went to Jiang Can's house that day!

Sun Meifen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly the image of Sang Qing's chestnut-brown curly hair flashed through her mind! That maid was unbelievably beautiful, and Jiang Can was currently pregnant. Wouldn't keeping someone like that around be just asking for trouble? What if Huo Zhixing was seduced by that little vixen...?
