The country bumpkin was brought back to get married for good luck. Jiang Nian agreed and immediately severed ties and kicked out her scummy father. She didn't expect the dead man she was suppos...
The girl in the photo only showed her profile.
He was focused on holding the ice cubes, as if he were applying an ice pack to another girl's face.
But even though he had only seen this profile once before, Ji Yubai recognized it at a glance.
Indeed, it is a constant thought.
His sister.
"You mean Niannian is on Director Li Mu's film set?" Ji Yubai asked, his voice cold and unapproachable.
"So it really is your sister," Yu Xiao, the agent, couldn't help but be surprised.
“I heard that she came with her deskmate. Her deskmate was brought in to be Mingxin’s stand-in for several scenes where she was bullied and beaten.”
"However, it is said that after watching a scene performed by your sister, Director Li Mu wanted to change the script at the last minute. Originally, Ji Yuwei was to play the lead female role, but he said he wanted to change it to a dual female lead role."
"I never expected that your sister, at such a young age, would have such a talent for acting, just like you. It's true that blood relatives are different."
Yu Xiao has been Ji Yubai's manager since he entered the entertainment industry, and she knows everything about him.
He knew that Ji Yubai came from the Ji family, and he also knew that Ji Yuwei was nominally the daughter of the Ji family, but in fact she had no blood relation to the Ji family.
As for Ji Yuwei, Yu Xiao had dealt with her a few times before and did not like her.
She's not exactly stunning in appearance, and her acting skills are only so-so, yet she secretly secured many good resources thanks to the Ji family's background. Her marketing and hype abilities outweigh her professional skills, which is why she's cultivated a group of fanatical, brainwashed fans.
That's why he directly calls Ji Yuwei by her name, but when he mentions Jiang Nian, he always calls her "little sister."
Although I've never met her, she's so beautiful just from her profile, and her temperament is very similar to Ji Yubai's.
"I understand." Ji Yubai nodded and took out his phone from his pocket.
I dialed a number.
Jiang Nian had just finished applying an ice pack to Lin Ruru's face when her phone rang.
Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that it was a number saved as "Fourth Brother".
This was the phone number her brothers had saved in her phone the day they picked her up from school.
After that day, my fourth brother was too busy with work to go home and only spoke to me a few times in the WeChat group.
Jiang Nian answered the phone and called out, "Fourth Brother?"
"Yes, it's me."
The man on the other end of the phone spoke in a calm tone, just like the impression Jiang Nian had of their first meeting.
"My agent said that you are currently on director Li Mu's film set."
Jiang Nian said, "Yes, I came with my deskmate."
"When will you finish over there?" Ji Yubai asked.
Around 7 p.m.
“Hmm,” Ji Yubai said in a cool voice, “Wait for me after this is over. I’ll come pick you up and take you out for dinner.”
"Isn't Fourth Brother very busy? If he were, he wouldn't have come to see me."
Jiang Nian remembered what her eldest brother had said before: her fourth brother was currently rushing to finish filming a movie and had been working overtime for several nights in a row, so he must be very tired.
If Fourth Brother has time to rest, he should go back and get some rest.
“It’s alright,” Ji Yubai paused, his tone still indifferent, “Other things can be postponed.”
"Okay." Since her fourth brother said so, Jiang Nian agreed.
Yu Xiao's feeling was correct; Ji Yubai was indeed very similar to Jiang Nian in some ways.
For example, neither of them talks much.
So after I finished saying what I needed to say, the phone went silent for a few seconds.
Just as Jiang Nian was about to tell Ji Yubai to go ahead with his work, someone on the other end said, "Want some milk tea?"
Jiang Nian didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"I ordered some for you and will deliver it to the film set."
"...Okay, thank you, Fourth Brother."
"You're welcome."
In fact, Ji Yubai didn't know why he suddenly suggested giving Jiang Nian some milk tea.
He never drinks milk tea.
But thinking about my sister's age, I figured she probably liked this kind of sweet drink.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiao looked on with a look of utter disbelief.
Ji Yubai had already regained his usual indifference, and glanced at him, asking, "What's wrong?"
"This is the first time I've seen you call someone and talk so much, and even ask for milk tea. It seems you really like your little sister."
Yu Xiao looked doubtful. "But do you know how to order milk tea? Do you know which milk tea brands are available, and what brands and flavors young girls like to drink these days?"
Ji Yubai remained silent for two seconds.
So there are many different brands and flavors of milk tea?
He always thought that milk tea was simply brewed tea, strained, and then mixed with milk and sugar.
“Never mind, I’ll order,” Yu Xiao shrugged. “But since your sister is on set with her classmate, why don’t we order for them too? They’ll take care of your sister and her friend out of respect for you.”
"Um."
She added, "I'll pick the ones that Niannian wants."
Yu Xiao was already used to Ji Yubai speaking a hundred words a day, and fifty of them were just "hmm".
He picked up his phone and skillfully opened the food delivery app.
Meanwhile, on Jiang Nian's film set, it was lunchtime and time for a break.
Lin Ruru, who was also considered a staff member today, went to get two boxed lunches and sat down to eat them.
Other people eating nearby were chatting, and their excited voices drifted over.
"Did you guys see the trailer for Ji Yubai's new movie yesterday? The actor's profile is absolutely stunning, it's so handsome it makes my heart flutter."
"Of course I watched it. I watched the trailer over and over again twenty times. I was so tired of it."
"Ji Yu has worked with an internationally renowned director, so I feel this film is a shoo-in for a Golden Phoenix Award nomination. Could it be that China's second triple crown Best Actor is about to be born? The last one was Chen Feng, who is already sixty years old this year."
