Chapter 18 Damn It!
"I'm not familiar with Mr. Jiang. I've only met him a few times before, in... in my cousin's company."
Cousin? Duanrao immediately stood up after recognizing the key words.
[Yes, Li Yuesheng is Mr. Xi's cousin, so Mr. Xi's cousin is Li Yuesheng's brother? I remember that it was explained in the plot that the fourth sister's cousin runs an agency, and that company is quite famous in the circle, called...]
"My cousin's name is Li Zhaoyang. Mr. Du may not know him, but he should have heard of his company, Xisheng Entertainment."
【Xisheng Entertainment. 】
Du Anrao and Xi Jingyue's voices completely overlapped because of the last few words.
The car fell into an eerie silence, and only a moment later the sound of someone shouting was heard again.
【Right! 】
Xi Jingyue's mouth corners lifted slightly uncontrollably: "Boss Jiang's company has cooperation intentions with my cousin's company. When I went to see my cousin, I happened to run into her and talked to her for a few words, but we didn't become close friends."
Du Hexuan looked at him and said, "You say we are not familiar with each other? I don't believe it." Du Anrao's focus was a bit off.
[She doesn’t intend to cooperate with your cousin’s company, she is interested in the handsome men and beautiful women in your cousin’s company! Ah, I remember, the supporting actor who looks a bit like my second brother seems to be signed by Xisheng Entertainment. ]
[So the old witch has already chosen a replacement for my second brother? My goodness, this is the first time I see Bai Yueguang still in such a hurry to find a replacement. I suspect you are playing a new kind of Bai Yueguang replacement literature. ]
In the back seat of the car, Du Hexuan and Xi Jingyue frowned at the same time.
Du Hexuan was simply disgusted, but Xi Jingyue thought more deeply about it.
A guy who could coax a person like Jiang Huaiying into using countless resources to transform him from a supporting actor into an international superstar, and who could finally step on Jiang Huaiying to gain power, is obviously not a simple character.
Would such a person be willing to be inferior to others? Li Zhaoyang didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to sign such a person.
Du Anrao was unaware of the inner struggle between the two, and began to think about how to bring her fourth sister, who was far away in S City, to Li Zhaoyang's company to meet him.
[Xisheng Xisheng, Li Qianxi and Li Yuesheng, the cousin really loves his two sisters. It's a pity that Li Qianxi is not worthy of his love. After she knew her true identity, she began to show the same selfishness and greed as her biological parents. ]
[She gradually became dissatisfied with the property she stole and began to covet the assets of the eldest wife. In order to obtain these assets, she even teamed up with her several backups to set up traps for her cousins and steal company secrets.]
[No, they are my blood relatives after all. I can’t just watch them suffer. We need to recognize them as relatives as soon as possible.]
Xi Jingyue's face darkened. He didn't care who the orphan girl from the Li family was, but if this person dared to hurt his relatives...
Du Hexuan was also shocked by Li Qianxi's shamelessness. He and Du Yuxi had lived under the same roof for more than ten years and their relationship had always been good.
Out of love for her family, it is difficult to just stand by and watch her family being harmed.
At this moment, everyone in the car had their own thoughts, but their final thoughts were unexpectedly the same.
Surprisingly, Xi Jingyue was the quickest among the three.
In order to subtly improve Duanrao's favor towards him, Xi Jingyue had someone send a batch of afternoon tea to the crew the next afternoon, under the pretext of apologizing for what happened the night before.
The most amazing thing is that this afternoon tea is not just for Duanrao and a few others, but for the entire crew, making it difficult for Du Hexuan and others to refuse.
Du Hexuan looked at Du Anrao, who was gossiping with several actresses in the crew about how handsome, rich, gentle, considerate, polite and generous Xi Jingyue was, and he felt like his heart was soaked in lemon juice, so sour that people inside and outside the crew could smell it.
As soon as the actresses left, Du Hexuan couldn't wait to pull his sister aside and said sternly, "An An, you are not yet an adult."
Duan Rao was full of questions: "I know."
"You have lived in the mountains for the past ten years or so, and you have met very few people. You don't know that many people in this world say one thing to your face and another behind your back. They say one thing with their mouths and another in their hearts. They are like chameleons, and what you see is not necessarily what it is."
"Just like... just like some people who look handsome and rich, but are actually stingy and poor."
Duan Rao:?
"He looks gentle and caring, but he is actually irritable and easily angered."
Duan Rao: ? ?
"Looks polite and generous, but actually arrogant and mercenary."
Duan Rao: ???
"Brother, what on earth do you want to say?"
"…You are still young, don't rush into a relationship."
"In love? With whom? Mr. Xi?"
Du Hexuan was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "An An!"
"Brother, don't worry, there's no way I'd fall in love with him."
Du Hexuan calmed down a little: "Why?"
"Why should I ask? Of course it's because I don't want to be in a relationship yet."
[Of course, it’s because I still want to be a Taoist priest and inherit the temple. Falling in love will only slow down my ability to deceive believers.]
Du Hexuan: “…” Ah, that’s not necessary.
Compared to Du Hexuan's awkwardness and wariness in accepting this afternoon tea, Director Gao was the happiest and least psychologically burdened one.
Holding a cup of milk tea, she ran up to Du Hexuan with a smile and tried to kidnap him: "An An, don't you really plan to play a cameo role in my drama? With your talent, we can even save on the wire effects."
Du Hexuan had not forgotten how unreliable these two useless people were last night. He sneered and said rudely, "Did Mr. Xi withdraw his investment? You even want to save this little money."
Director Gao was immediately frightened and said, "Pah, pah, pah, no taboos, no taboos, stop cursing at me."
"Oh……"
"Uncle, I'm really just here to be my brother's assistant. I have no intention of developing in the entertainment industry for the time being. You should find someone else."
Director Gao looked Duanrao up and down and found that she was determined. He could only sigh and left with regret on his face.
After being reminded by Director Gao, Du Hexuan finally remembered to ask about what happened last night.
"Your strength..."
Du Anrao didn't seem to expect Du Hexuan to ask this, and there was a hint of melancholy and emotion between his slightly furrowed brows.
"There are few people in the mountains, so I have to do a lot of things by myself, such as fetching water, chopping wood, washing clothes and cooking. At first, I was not very used to it, but as I grew older, I gradually got better. I did more things and my strength gradually increased."
For example, you can now carry four buckets of water instead of three, and chop down a tree in ten steps instead of seven or eight. It's very simple.
Du Hexuan, who heard his sister mention life in the mountains for the first time and had no idea of the inside story, was instantly overwhelmed by guilt and heartache.
Why am I asking this? Ahhhh, damn!
