Wen Wan sighed silently, then tried to lower her voice and patiently coaxed, "You didn't come to such an important day as my engagement today, so I came to see you in person. Don't you even intend to let me see you?"
The person in the quilt didn't move for a long time, but the crying was obviously much quieter. Just when Wen Wan thought that she would not come out on her own initiative and was carefully considering whether to lift the quilt, Lin Yu unexpectedly crawled out from under the quilt.
There were obvious traces of tears on her face, and her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts. It was obvious that she must have been crying for a long time. Her face and lips were pale and bloodless. Her overall condition was visibly worse, in stark contrast to her previous appearance.
Wen Wan saw this and quickly pulled out several tissues from the bedside. She then reached out and gently wiped her tears, coaxing her softly, "Oh, my sister, you finally came out. Look at your eyes, they're swollen like walnuts. Why did you cry like this?"
"Do you have any ice packs at home? I'll get some for your eyes."
Wen Wan stood up as she spoke, but before she could even walk out, Lin Yu grabbed her sleeve and pulled her tightly. She subconsciously turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Don't go." Lin Yu's voice was still a little choked, and her mood was very low.
Seeing her like this, Wen Wan couldn't help but feel helpless. She had to take out her cell phone and silently sent a WeChat message to Xu Siye, asking him to send some ice packs later, and then sat down obediently again.
She held Lin Yu's hand and said softly, "Sister Yu, do you have anything to say to me? If you want to say it, just say it directly. Tell me everything that's been in your heart. I will definitely listen carefully!"
Lin Yu had stopped crying and her emotions had almost calmed down, but after hearing what she said, she lowered her head and began to cry silently again.
Wen Wan sighed silently, then reached out and held her in her arms, gently stroking her back, and persuaded her: "Tell me, tell me all the depression in your heart, and all the words you can't say to your brother-in-law, just say it out."
Lin Yu leaned on her shoulder and cried non-stop. After a long while, she choked up and said, "I lost a character I loved so much..."
Wen Wan couldn't help but frown when she heard this. What does "lost" mean? Was the role taken away by someone else?
But... this shouldn't be the case. Lin Yu's acting is already very strong. After all, she's an actress who can win the Best Actress award. She can't be a good-for-nothing. Directors usually scramble to use her. Why would they take the initiative to replace her role? It's really puzzling!
She was completely confused and continued to ask, "Lost it? What happened?"
Lin Yu came out of her arms, wiped the tears from her face, and said with a tone of deep grievance: "Last year when I was pregnant, a play once approached me."
"The director of that play knew me very well, so he took the initiative to invite me to audition. Although I really liked the role, I was worried that it would delay the start of filming because it would take at least a year to recover from pregnancy and childbirth, so I told the director the truth."
"But he said it didn't matter. The crew hadn't even finalized the investment or anything like that yet. He just wanted to prepare in advance. It would be perfect to start filming after I gave birth. That's when I auditioned and got the role."
"I originally thought that I could make a comeback with this drama, but unexpectedly something went wrong a few days ago." When she said this, she seemed to remember something sad and covered her face and cried again.
Wen Wan couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She had some idea in mind, so she asked tentatively, "Were you replaced by the director at the last minute?"
"Yeah..." Lin Yu nodded while crying.
After receiving her affirmative answer, Wen Wan couldn't help but feel angry. "Are you sick? I really didn't want to wait for you, so I shouldn't have delayed you in the first place! I made an appointment and then changed the person at the last minute. Is this what a human being would do? What kind of idiot director dares to be so arrogant? Tell me your name, and I'll send a ghost to scare him tonight!"
Lin Yu tilted her head back and blinked repeatedly, trying to hold back the tears. Then she explained carefully, "At the time, he said he would wait until everything was ready and before filming started before signing the contract. Since we had worked together many times before, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect him to trick me like this in the end."
"Wanwan, it's not that I can't accept being replaced so suddenly. I was also a rookie when I was squeezed out by people who brought in money. If it was really just a simple replacement, I wouldn't be so sad. I just can't accept the reasons he gave me."
"What's the reason?" Wen Wan asked somewhat displeasedly. She was really curious about what kind of weird reason could make Lin Yu so angry.
Lin Yu, tears welling in her eyes, recalled the scene that day and said, "He said I was no longer suitable for the role. He said I looked like a mother after giving birth, and my figure and physical fitness were not as good as before. The child had just been born and needed my care. So he decided to replace me after careful consideration."
Wen Wan's mind was full of questions. She just wanted to grab the director and ask, "Are you okay? Are you okay? If you're okay, go eat some more Liuliumei!"
She looked down at Lin Yu's figure, which was exactly the same as before, and couldn't help but curse: "...Is he blind? Or is there something seriously wrong with his brain?"
Lin Yu gave a wry smile and expressed her true thoughts, "Since I left the confinement period, I've returned to my previous state and started working hard to manage my figure. I think my figure now is no different from before."
"Besides, Si Ye also agreed to take care of the child at home. He also told me that if I was worried that he couldn't take care of the child well, I could hire a nanny to help. He told me to focus on filming and not worry about the family. Don't be distracted."
"I told the director everything I said. I even told him that if he was still not satisfied with my figure, I could continue to lose weight. But he said it wasn't just because of my figure, it was mainly because of having children and my age."
"He told me that after Nv Yanyan passed away and she gave birth to a child, I should quickly consider a career change, saying that actors my age basically all play mothers. I was very, very angry at the time, and I couldn't help but have a big argument with him."
"Bah!" Wen Wan spat angrily, cursing furiously, "Is there something seriously wrong with his brain? Why can a man in his forties or fifties still play the leading man in idol dramas, while a woman has to play the mother role after giving birth?"
"Tell me who this idiot is! This unscrupulous director needs to be exposed. He looks down on mothers. Did he just come out of nowhere?"
Wen Wan was so angry that sparks were about to burst from her head. How could such a rubbish person be allowed to be a director? Was he worthy? He was not worthy!
