"Ouch, big sister, don't hit me! There are so many of you here, how could you just raise your hand and hit me on the head? If you hit me with that much force, I'd definitely spit out my brains!" Lin Xiaoxue quickly dodged Lin Xiazhu's slap.
Of course, Lin Xiazhu didn't use much force, nor did she necessarily have to hit her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape. However, Lin Xiazhu was really angry. After so many years of discipline, her third sister still went astray.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiazhu said firmly, "Then you can switch to 'Sunny Day Entertainment'. That way you won't have to beg anyone. Sunny Day is your brother-in-law's company now. Your brother-in-law will discuss it with Song Yuheng. You don't need to worry about breaching the contract."
Lin Xiaoxue: "..." Would she be worried about that? She just didn't want to go to her brother-in-law's company, okay? If she were controlled by her sister in everything, how could she possibly make any good films?
"What's with that expression? You don't want to?" Lin Xiazhu saw right through her thoughts.
Lin Xiaoxue didn't hide anything and admitted it directly, "Big sister, I want to develop on my own and don't want to rely on anyone. I know what I'm doing in this situation, so please don't try to persuade me. I won't change my mind."
That's similar to what Peach said, but Peach is really naive. When she heard that Xiao An had acquired Qingtian, she had no objections and even breathed a sigh of relief, clearly liking to have someone protect her.
"That sounds nice, but you're not relying on anyone. You've managed to get involved with Song Yuheng and have held on until now, isn't that because of the Bai family?" Lin Xiazhu emphasized again mercilessly.
"...So I want to walk my own path from now on. In short, I don't want to go to Sunny Entertainment. Big sister, the entertainment company I'm signed with now is under Song Yuheng's name. I promise you, I won't date any other boyfriends before I break into the top tier. If you don't believe me, I can swear a solemn oath to you."
Seeing Lin Xiaoxue's resolute attitude, Lin Xiazhu knew she couldn't stop her and could only let her go. "You better remember this: don't plan to find a boyfriend for the next few years. If I find out you're messing around for resources, I'll really slap you to death."
That evening, when Lin Xiazhu returned home, she found Lin Chacha and the others watching a period drama set in the Republican era. The drama was about a warlord who had nine concubines. The ninth concubine was the most favored, the youngest and most beautiful, and also the most scheming and wicked of all the concubines.
The Ninth Concubine, dressed in a bright red cheongsam and embroidered cloth shoes, swayed as she walked to a well in the backyard garden. Kneeling by the well was a delicate-looking girl, only fourteen or fifteen years old. The Ninth Concubine grabbed the girl's hair and, with a ferocious expression, shoved her into the well. In no time, she had the girl inside.
The sound of splashing water came from the well, but it quickly returned to silence. Ninth Concubine sneered, "You filthy hussy, you dare to seduce the Marshal and compete with me for his favor? You're tired of living."
The night was dark and gloomy, and Ninth Concubine's face flickered between light and shadow, which was quite eerie.
Lin Chacha hugged her son tightly, frowning as she asked, "This person looks so much like Third Sister, what role does he play?"
Her acting was quite good, but unfortunately she was a vicious villain, destined to have a bad ending. Lin Xiazhu walked to Lin Chacha's side, took the little one from Song Cheng's arms, and held her gently.
“What do you mean, ‘looks like her’? That’s Third Sister. She’s an actress now, and Taozi is an actress too. I was busy dealing with these things before and forgot to tell you.” Lin Xiazhu lowered her voice so as not to scare the two little ones.
"You've become an actress?" Lin Chacha was a little surprised. In her eyes, an actress was a celebrity. She used to think that celebrities were far away from her, but now that her two younger sisters had become celebrities, it was too surreal.
"Which TV show is Peach in? I want to watch it. I want to watch all the TV shows that the two of them are in from now on. Wow, they're actually stars now."
Lin Xiazhu: "..." It seems that the second sister really likes her younger sisters to act.
Actually, it's good to be a talented actress and focus on acting, but Xiaoxue took the wrong first step. She was aiming to become an idol star, and she ran headlong down that path, unable to turn back.
However, Peach can be taught well. If she doesn't rely on scandals for hype and keeps a low profile, she may not become a big star, but she can live a stable life. She can act when she has roles to play, and when she doesn't, she can help look after the coffee shop. Oh, and she can still open a dance training class.
After switching channels dozens of times without finding any dramas starring Lin Taozi, Lin Chacha couldn't sit still and immediately called Lin Taozi on her phone to ask her how many dramas she had filmed.
Lin Taozi was at school at the moment. She was very happy to receive the call from her second sister. "Ah... the drama I acted in? I just debuted and played a small role. I only filmed two dramas in total, both of which were extras. One of them was an anti-Japanese war drama. I played a 'flower girl' who was almost raped and committed suicide by jumping into a well."
The only line is, "Even if I die, I will not let you ruin me."
Another one is a period drama, in which I played a courtesan who always sold her art but not her body. Suddenly, a rich man took a liking to her and forced her to lose her virginity. The madam sold her, but the courtesan was too proud and hanged herself.
The courtesan died without even a single line; they were all extras. Nevertheless, Lin Chacha still watched it. Unfortunately, Lin Taozi's role was too small, appearing and disappearing for only one minute. Moreover, this part of the show had already finished airing, so it could only be watched during reruns.
"Taozi is almost as pretty as Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is so clever, getting such an important role so quickly. She has so many scenes, and it looks like she's playing herself. Even without acting skills, she can still make people feel her sincerity." Lin Chacha wasn't being sarcastic; she genuinely thought so.
Lin Xiazhu felt the same way. Lin Xiaoxue was born for this kind of role, so she couldn't win the Best Actress award; she could only be the Best Supporting Actress.
Lin Xiazhu was quite pleased that Lin Taozi started from the bottom, as this would hone her acting skills. If she became famous in the future, it would be entirely due to her own hard work, and she would have confidence in her future career.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxue is someone who has confidence at any time and in any situation because she is thick-skinned and doesn't care what others think.
To be honest, Lin Xiazhu almost wanted to sever ties with Lin Xiaoxue and pretend she didn't know her. However, she managed to hold back and not say anything heartless. Although she had always been prejudiced against her, they had known each other for so many years and were connected by blood.
Lin Xiaoxue did it; she didn't hurt her family. In her life, apart from harming Lin Chacha back in her hometown, she never did anything wrong again. Lin Xiazhu was ultimately soft-hearted; after all, she was her own sister, and she couldn't just sever ties with her.
However, it's best for Taozi to see Xiaoxue less often in the future, lest she be led astray. Lin Xiazhu has already instructed Lin Xiaoxue not to approach Taozi alone for the next few years unless other people are present, and Xiaoxue has also promised her that she will not see Taozi alone.
Two weeks later, it was Lin Xiazhu and Bai Ruan's wedding banquet. The banquet was held at the Bai family's old house. No outsiders were invited; only relatives and friends were present. The event was very low-key.
Even publishing a notice in the newspaper was secondary; it was just to inform the outside world that the eldest grandson of the Bai family had gotten married.
