Yan Keyi and Jiang Ning met on a rainy night. Abandoned and disdained by her parents in the first half of her life, after meeting Jiang Ning, she became the top star in the entertainment industry u...
Yan Keyi didn't think as much as Jiang Ning did. She couldn't figure out the reason for Li Ying's change in attitude, but for her, it was always better to make friends than to make enemies, so she accepted Li Ying's overtures.
"Xiao Yan? Why are you here today? Shouldn't you rest for a couple more days?"
Qin Yiran had just finished filming and was about to go rest when she saw Yan Keyi standing to the side.
After what happened yesterday, and seeing how scared Yan Keyi was, she thought Yan Keyi would stay home and rest for a couple more days. She never expected her to come today.
"Hello, Teacher Qin, I have adjusted myself."
Although yesterday's events were indeed quite upsetting for Yan Keyi, Jiang Ning was there to comfort her.
Yan Keyi's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Jiang Ning; with her there, she felt much more at ease.
Following Yan Keyi's gaze, Qin Yiran also saw Jiang Ning, and felt a little strange. Shouldn't Jiang Ning be at work at this time? Why is he accompanying Yan Keyi to the film set?
Although she knew that she probably wouldn't have let Yan Keyi come if Jiang Ning hadn't been there, she still found it strange that Jiang Ning was here.
"Miss Jiang, you're here too?"
In front of Yan Keyi, she had to act as if she wasn't familiar with Jiang Ning, but given Jiang Ning's status, she still had to be polite to him.
"Yes, I came with Yiyi."
Although Jiang Ning didn't explicitly state that she came along because she was worried about Yan Keyi after what happened yesterday, Qin Yiran knew exactly why.
"Xiao Yan, Miss Jiang, you're both here."
Just as Hu Yiming finished explaining the scene to a few actors and was about to call for the next take, he saw Yan Keyi, Jiang Ning, Qin Yiran, and a few others gathered there.
Although Yan Keyi was discovered in time yesterday and did not suffer any substantial harm, she encountered such a thing on her own set, and now Jiang Ning has appeared on her set. Hu Yiming thought that Jiang Ning had come to settle scores with him, and he suddenly became nervous.
"Yiyi said she didn't want to delay the crew's schedule, but I was really worried, so I came along. Director Hu, you don't need to worry about me. Just do what you need to do. I won't disturb your filming."
Seeing Hu Yiming's nervous look, Jiang Ning didn't actually intend to settle scores with him.
This wasn't something Hu Yiming wanted to happen. Besides, it was precisely because he paid enough attention to Yan Keyi that he was able to discover that Yan Keyi had a problem in the first place.
Otherwise, the consequences will likely be even more difficult to manage.
Therefore, Jiang Ning wouldn't actually make things difficult for Hu Yiming.
However, Jiang Ning heard that because of yesterday's incident, Hu Yiming had a conflict with the investor from yesterday, and the investor withdrew his investment in a fit of anger.
When Jiang Ning asked him about this, Hu Yiming's face turned somewhat unpleasant.
That is indeed the case, but he doesn't regret it at all. If he couldn't even protect the actors in his own crew, then he would have failed as a director.
He wasn't short of money anyway, so he used some of his own assets to cover the costs. Although it still couldn't compare to the original investment, it would at least be enough to last for a while.
"Director Hu, I'd like to add a little more investment to the production team in my own name. It's not as much as what those big shots have done, but it's better than nothing."
This is Yan Keyi's first film, and Jiang Ning hopes it will be a success.
She could compromise herself, but she didn't want to compromise Yan Keyi's.
When Hu Yiming heard Jiang Ning say those words, his face lit up with joy.
Although the production team is not short of funds at present, there will still be things that require money to manage in post-production, and he certainly won't complain about investing too much.
However, he had to admit that he had always felt that Jiang Ning had an extraordinary presence. The fact that she could so easily say that she would invest in the production team showed that she must have some confidence.
However, of course, these things were all said by Jiang Ning and Hu Yiming in private. Although they were upright and had nothing to hide, if someone with ulterior motives overheard them, they would really be accused of bringing their own funding to the production.
Jiang Ning went to talk to her about these things, and she didn't hide it from her; Yan Keyi knew everything.
She truly felt that Jiang Ning was like the pillar of her entire world.
Because today's scenes had been rehearsed in advance, and Yan Keyi wanted to learn more by watching others act, she spent the rest of the time on set observing other people filming.
Yan Keyi didn't leave, so Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't either. Yan Keyi moved a small stool and sat outside the film set to observe and learn, while Jiang Ning found a spot to handle his work.
However, she could guarantee that if she looked up or Yan Keyi turned around, they would be within each other's line of sight.
The actors today, perhaps due to a lack of acting experience or an inability to keep up with Qin Yiran's performance, had to do several takes before finally managing to finish their scenes. By the time the crew dispersed, the moon was already high in the sky.
The hotel booked by the production crew was near the film set. Yan Keyi was in high spirits, probably because she had learned something new today.
Therefore, Jiang Ning accompanied Yan Keyi all the way back to the hotel.
Along the way, Jiang Ning watched Yan Keyi skipping and jumping in front of him, telling him what she had seen and learned, as well as her thoughts and understanding.
Seeing her so vibrant, Jiang Ning was genuinely happy for her.
"careful!"
They were taking a normal walk when a passing electric scooter nearly grazed Yan Keyi. Jiang Ning reacted quickly and pulled Yan Keyi into his arms, preventing her from getting hurt.
From the moment Yan Keyi met Jiang Ning until now, she has always felt that Jiang Ning is a very calm and emotionally stable person.
But she always seems to have many exceptions when it comes to herself.
The dim streetlights shone on Jiang Ning's profile, revealing a look of worry about herself.
For a moment, Yan Keyi froze and looked up at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thought Yan Keyi was scared because she was almost hit, which was why she didn't make a sound. In fact, Yan Keyi could hear her own heart pounding like a drum.
Yan Keyi thought that although she had a less than pleasant past, she had found her own glimmer of starlight in the darkest part of her life.
"Yiyi, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Yan Keyi hadn't responded, Jiang Ning was getting worried sick.
She was now extremely fearful, afraid that Yan Keyi would suffer even the slightest harm.
"It's alright, sister, let's go back."
Yan Keyi snapped out of her daze, grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, and started walking back.
