"Madam, Miss Xiangxiang says she doesn't want to eat."
At dinner time, Su Shaoyang pushed Yan Can downstairs and heard the housekeeper say this.
You can't eat anymore?
Or is she deliberately throwing a tantrum, waiting for someone to come and coax her?
Su Shaoyang sneered, "If you don't want to eat, fine. You won't starve if you skip a meal. Wang Ma, hurry up and serve the dishes, I'm starving!"
Yan Can: "..."
Su's mother: "..."
After a brief silence, Su's mother said, "Let's eat."
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Su Shaoyang laughed again, "Dad and my two older brothers aren't coming back, and Su Xiangxiang isn't eating, so now no one will be competing with me for my sister."
Just then, the butler's voice came from the entrance hall.
"The second young master is back?"
Su Shaoyang: "..."
Am I hallucinating?
He asked Su's mother and Yan Can if they had heard anything. Su's mother ignored him, but Yan Can said, "It sounds like Second Brother is back."
Su Shaoyang: "..."
Then it's not a hallucination.
Less than a minute later, Su Shaoze, dressed in trousers and a shirt, walked into the restaurant.
"Mom, Can Can."
After saying hello, he went to wash his hands.
Su Shaoyang protested angrily, "You only greeted Mom and Can Can? What about me! Can't you see how handsome I am?"
There was no response.
After Su Shaoze finished washing his hands, the dishes were served.
He walked slowly to the dining table, giving Su Shaoyang a critical look. Just when Su Shaoyang thought he was going to ask him to move, he sat down in the seat directly opposite Yan Can.
Do you like the room?
Su Shaoze asked.
Yan Can said she liked it.
She had already answered the same question twice.
So much so that she knew what Su Shaoze was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The mattress, pillows, and chair are all very comfortable. Thank you, Second Brother."
Su Shaoze nodded, his voice gentle, "If you like it, that's good. If you want something, just tell us. Don't keep quiet."
Yan Can: "Mm."
Seeing that he was about to say something more, Su Shaoyang became displeased, "Second Brother, you're not on the night shift tonight, why are you back for dinner at this time?"
Su Shaoze: "I came back whenever I wanted."
Su Shaoyang said in a condescending tone, "You're an expert, a backbone of the hospital, and the hope of the patients. You need to have a proper understanding of your own identity and skills..."
"Then what?"
Su Shaoze looked up at him.
His eyes were calm and expressionless, yet they sent a shiver down Su Shaoyang's spine.
Under Su Shaoze's gaze, he stammered out what was on his mind, "Then, then you should stay in the hospital, that way you can maximize your value!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su's mother said to him, "Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?"
Yan Can also said, "Third Brother, are you treating Second Brother like an enemy?"
Su Shaoyang: "..."
So, he went too far?
That shouldn't be the case.
Second Brother didn't say anything!
He glanced at Su Shaoze's expression and, seeing no change, immediately felt relieved.
It wasn't until after dinner, when Su Shaoze made a phone call, that Su Shaoyang almost knelt down before him.
"Brother, I was wrong!"
"I shouldn't have been so generous with your money. Just because you have excellent medical skills and a strong sense of morality doesn't mean I could try to morally blackmail you. I apologize to you, brother!"
"Please stop calling Director Wang. I can't act in his dark and obscure art films, and I can't stand the trash talk from his sharp and sarcastic mouth. Even if you put me in his film crew, I still won't become the leading man he wants."
Su Shaoyang had been talking until his lips were almost worn out, but Su Shaoze just smiled.
"The male lead?"
Do you have a correct understanding of your own acting skills?
Su Shaoyang: "..."
Well.
He himself said he can no longer play the male lead, so how can that not be a correct understanding?
Su Shaoze: "Stop daydreaming. You won't even get the lead role. At best, you'll be a background actor, your scene will be over in three seconds, and you might not even get a shot in the movie."
Hearing this, Su Shaoyang felt a chill in his heart.
His face was ashen. "What grudge do you hold against me? I'm your own brother!"
Su Shaoze: What do you think?
Su Shaoyang: "..."
Is retribution coming so quickly?
Seeing his miserable and sorrowful expression, Yan Can couldn't help but laugh.
Su Shaoyang then poured out his troubles to her.
"You have no idea how foul Director Wang's mouth is when he swears."
"There are many things you wouldn't expect, and there's nothing he wouldn't say in a curse."
“Even those real movie stars can be driven to despair by his criticism. If I, a traffic star with no acting skills, go there, I’ll only get criticized. I don’t want to invite criticism to myself.”
Yan Can nodded as she listened. "I know him."
[That director, Wang, certainly has a terrible temper, but he's very capable. I remember his later film, *Forgotten Mountain*, was very well-received, but it was pulled from theaters shortly after its release because the male lead, He Xu, was caught using drugs. The investors and actors all suffered huge losses.]
What's the matter?
Su Shaoyang was taken aback.
Su Shaoze looked at him, wondering if there was such a person in the entertainment industry.
"Um."
Su Shaoyang nodded.
This was both a response to Yan Can and an answer to Su Shaoze.
He Xu only recently entered the entertainment industry. As a wealthy young man, he studied abroad from a young age and was influenced by foreign culture, resulting in a very bold and open-minded personality.
Just before Yan Can was injured, He Xu had visited their program crew privately.
It was ostensibly a visit to the set, but in reality, it was a hookup.
His casual sex partner was an actress known for her aloofness, but in reality, she was the illegitimate daughter of an entertainment tycoon.
Su Shaoze indicated that he understood.
