121. During the skit rehearsal
Guan Miao didn’t know whether he could have a good retirement, but his current work was real anyway. The three of them gathered together and chatted for a while before going to bed early.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Guan Miao only took An Jing to the rehearsal venue.
When I pushed the door open, I found someone was already inside. "Jiang Qi?"
Jiang Qi, who was concentrating on memorizing the script, immediately turned around and looked over. When she saw that it was Guan Miao, her face was filled with joy. She immediately put down the script and ran towards her.
"Sister Guan Miao, I didn't have time to greet you properly yesterday, so let's just officially meet you today!"
Looking at Jiang Qi's smiling face, Guan Miao's mood also improved. "Well, it's been a long time since we last met. You haven't changed much."
"But Sister Guan Miao has a feeling of seeing through the world."
Hearing this, Guan Miao was very helpless, "You said it as if I was going to become a monk, but in fact I just have a deeper understanding of human nature."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Qi nodded, not quite understanding.
Guan Miao didn't want to dwell on this matter any further. She turned to talking about Yang Huai and asked, "Now that Yang Huai is gone, who will take over his role?"
"I don't know. Director Yang didn't tell me. She just said she would find another suitable actor as soon as possible."
Jiang Qi glanced around and made sure there were no outsiders around before moving closer to her and saying, "Sister Guan Miao, did you know that Yang Huai is actually Director Yang's son? No wonder he's so unscrupulous. He must think his biological mother is the director and no one can touch him."
Guan Miao took over her words, "But I didn't expect to encounter such an accident as mine."
"Hehe, but it's okay. My agent privately investigated and found out that Yang Huai has poor acting skills and a bad attitude. She was worried that I would be bullied, but now she can rest assured."
"Bad acting, bad attitude?" She was a little confused. "So, I did a good thing?"
Jiang Qi nodded seriously, "Indeed."
After the two talked for a while, several other actors pushed the door open one after another. When they saw Guan Miao, they all had kind smiles on their faces, and Guan Miao also smiled back.
No matter how ugly the fight may be in private, you must make an effort to save your face.
Director Yang was the last one to come in, and with her came a handsome young man who seemed to be about the same age as Jiang Qi. He was clean and even a little shy.
"Director Yang."
"Miaomiao is here. How did you handle yesterday's incident?"
"We've almost finished the treatment. The rest depends on the doctors' ability."
Upon hearing this, Director Yang said thoughtfully, "Were your family members involved in yesterday's car accident?"
She thought about it and nodded heavily, "Someone I know."
She had met Shang Ju several times, and Shang Ju's family members were at least people she knew, so what she said should not be false.
After Guan Miao said this, the remaining dissatisfaction in the hearts of the leading actors disappeared.
If they had family members, they would probably not be able to help but go and see such a big car accident.
At this moment, no matter how many words he said, they seemed pale. Director Yang reluctantly comforted her, "Miaomiao, don't worry too much. You will be fine."
"It's okay. We'll be prepared once we get the news."
As they were talking, there was another knock on the door. Everyone looked and saw Deng Ling and Zhao Qi coming in with several bags of coffee.
"Good morning, everyone! Were we not disturbing you? Miaomiao said that the rehearsal is early today, and she was worried that everyone would be tired, so she asked us to go buy some coffee. Come and have some."
With the help of coffee, the veteran actors were not so hostile to Guan Miao during the subsequent rehearsals, and their attitude towards the play also improved a lot.
Director Yang said that the newcomer Ye Ji is here to replace Yang Huai’s role, and hopes that everyone can work well together in the future.
After a day of rehearsal, Guan Miao returned home and asked who Ye Ji was.
"Ye Ji, Director Yang's son."
"Ah?" Guan Miao was shocked. "Another son? Then Yang Huai, Yang Huai is the eldest son? That's not right, these two surnames are completely different."
Could it be that one has the mother's surname and the other has the father's surname?
Chai Yue, who was eating spicy strips, was so reluctant to interrupt her fantasy when she saw the changes in her facial expression that they were so exciting.
"Okay, put away your wild imagination and stop overthinking. The story is simple. After Director Yang divorced Yang Huai's father, Yang Huai followed his father. She remarried and gave birth to a son named Ye Ji. Got it?"
"Ah, it's crystal clear at a glance. So that's how it is."
After eating the melon, Guan Miao contentedly opened the skit collection and continued to ponder how his predecessors controlled the rhythm.
While Guan Miao was concentrating on rehearsing, several things happened in the outside world.
First, Wen Yuning donated 500,000 yuan to each family affected by the car accident in the name of the foundation. After deducting the medical expenses, each family will still have some money left.
Secondly, the daughter-in-law of the business bureau died of illness in the ICU, and the youngest son's legs were disabled. Guan Miao and others went to take a look, but through the thick glass, they could only see a person with various tubes inserted into his body, unconscious on the hospital bed.
They wanted to comfort her but couldn't say anything. However, Shang Ju seemed to be in good spirits and even suggested that after his youngest son was discharged from the hospital, he would retire and spend time with his children.
"But don't worry, I will take care of everything before I leave, including the medicine Miaomiao gave me earlier that can relieve heavy bleeding in the human body."
Having said that, Shang Ju bowed deeply to Guan Miao. His figure, which was originally hunched due to the children's illness, now looked even thinner.
"Miaomiao, I should thank you. Without your help, my daughter-in-law might not have been able to hold on until the birth of the child. When the news of Xu'er's death came, she once wanted to follow him, but in the end she stayed for the sake of the child in her belly.
I don’t know whether to call the current situation fate or coincidence; and my little son, if it weren’t for you, he might have died long ago.
So please accept my bow. You have saved our family's lives."
Guan Miao took a deep breath, suppressed the soreness in his throat and said, "Shang Ju, you don't have to be like this. I just did what I should do. You don't have to thank me.
As for you, please take care of yourself. This family will depend on you in the future."
"I know." Shang Xiaobo completely understood what they meant. They were just afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the support to survive, and he would die without thinking.
But he won't, there are people he can't let go of, he will definitely not leave now.
Seeing that the business bureau had not lost its faith in survival, everyone felt relieved.
After returning home, Guan Miao continued to rehearse the skit, Chi Yi and Deng Ling were busy screening the script, and everyone else was doing their own job. For a while, there was a sense of peace and tranquility.
