Chapter 97 The Box Office Cancer
Lin Qiao knew her father had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "No, Dad, that's not what I meant. I was saying, after all these years, how could such a coincidence happen?"
This is something even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray, right?
His dad found out as soon as the camera panned across the screen.
"Whether you saw it right or not, help your dad find out about her family situation and ask if she has several older brothers. Or you can say your dad is Han Xi, but never mind, you'd better not say anything yet. If it really is, I'm afraid it will scare your aunt away again."
Lin Qiao was so worried listening to this that she could tell her father was really anxious. Otherwise, how could such a composed CEO be speaking incoherently like this?
But it's understandable, considering that my aunt has been away from home for twenty years.
After having lunch with her mother, she received a call from her agent, Sister Yu.
Lu Wanxing never expected that her agent would call her at this time.
"Sister Yu? What's wrong?"
"Your luck is about to change. There's a movie that Director Zhang has specifically invited you to audition. If you pass, you'll be the second female lead."
Lu Wanxing's eyes flickered when she heard those words.
She never expected that even though she was about to retire from the entertainment industry, she would still receive scripts.
The point isn't that, but rather, the second female lead?
"You mean Director Zhang's drama? The one that was rumored before, 'Dawn'?" Lu Wanxing thought for a moment and remembered which role Director Zhang had.
But at the same time, I also found it very incredible.
They actually chose me to play the second female lead?
Will the company agree?
She then thought of another question.
Given the company's track record, it's unlikely they'll let me get this role so quickly.
"What can I do if you disagree? They're trying to trick you into signing the contract. I'm just making a call to see what you really think."
Sister Yu didn't try to hide anything.
Just say what you have to say, but this is pretty much what Lu Wanxing was thinking.
The company could never be that kind.
So it's highly likely they're plotting something behind the scenes.
As expected, they still wanted her to renew her contract, so Lu Wanxing asked directly.
"What if I don't agree to renew the contract?"
"Then I reckon Fan Gang will try to find someone else to replace you."
Sister Yu didn't hide it from her either.
Lu Wanxing roughly understood, but this role seemed to involve martial arts scenes, and she was indeed not suitable for it in her current state.
"Sister Yu, you know I said before that I planned to retire from the entertainment industry when my contract expired, and I probably won't act in this movie either."
Are you serious?
Sister Yu looked surprised. She had thought Lu Wanxing was just joking, but now it seemed that he might be serious.
She couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Yes, I've already thought it through."
"Okay, I understand. Just give me a perfunctory answer during the audition."
Sister Yu didn't try to persuade her any further.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wanxing was also thinking about this matter.
This opportunity is undoubtedly a good one. In the past few years, even though I have amnesia, I have honed my acting skills a lot, but my previous movies have not been released for various reasons.
This is why, in the eyes of many, he doesn't seem to have many works.
Lu Wanxing was starting to wonder if she was a box office cancer.
None of the shows she was involved in were broadcast. Who would believe that?
Lu Wanxing stopped thinking about it because she couldn't figure it out. Sister Yu had also sent out the audition time, which was in ten days.
By then, the dating reality show had finished airing, and I could finally take a break.
There are only a little over two months left before I retire from the entertainment industry.
She was currently in Han Ximan's room with Lin Qiao.
There are no live broadcast cameras this time, but Lin Qiao is here with a mission from her own father.
Just now, her father kept calling to ask about the situation here. Now that she saw Han Ximan, she recognized her face.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qiao?"
Noticing that her gaze was fixed on her, Han Ximan couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Auntie, I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to ask, but I'd like to ask, do you have three older brothers?"
When Lin Qiao asked that question, Han Ximan's expression stiffened for a moment. Others didn't notice, but Lu Wanxing did.
"No, I'm the only one here."
After Han Ximan realized what was happening, she answered naturally, without revealing any flaws.
Hearing this, Lin Qiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Oh, is that so? I thought you would be my aunt."
She spoke her last sentence softly, but Lu Wanxing, who was sitting next to her, heard it clearly.
I've forgotten how to react, especially considering Ms. Han's reaction just now.
Is there something you really don't know about?
Han Ximan left the two of them alone and made an excuse to sit on the sofa on the other side.
Seeing that Han Ximan was not her aunt, Lin Qiao didn't want to keep bothering her with questions, so she immediately changed the subject to Lu Wanxing.
"Xingxing, is she really pregnant?"
Lu Wanxing couldn't help but find it amusing to see her still not believing even though she clearly already knew.
"Didn't you already know that?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at her with a half-smile.
Lin Qiao was a little embarrassed, and looked at Lu Wanxing with a tentative expression.
"I understand. You wouldn't kill me to cover it up, would you?"
"What do you think? You know too much!"
As Lu Wanxing spoke, she looked at Han Ximan.
Han Ximan immediately saw what she was going to do and cooperated by saying, "Yes, you know too much. We can't keep you here."
Then Lu Wanxing pinned Lin Qiao down on the bed and started tickling her.
A series of maniacal laughs echoed from inside the room.
"Hahaha, I, I won't do it again, I was wrong, I hahaha, I won't tell anyone."
Lin Qiao immediately begged for mercy.
When Lu Wanxing got off her, she was already quite tired and simply collapsed onto the bed.
Han Ximan looked at the two bickering together with a doting expression.
However, Lin Qiao's words from earlier still disturbed her mind.
Twenty years have passed without me even realizing it.
She had countless opportunities to go back, but she didn't know how to face her family.
The two lay together in bed. It was only after Lin Qiao learned that she was pregnant that she finally understood the things she hadn't been able to figure out before.
It turns out that Lu Wanxing's claim that she came to the show to find a father for her child was actually true.
Netizens all thought it was a joke, but they didn't expect that the person was using a joke to tell the truth.
I wonder how furious netizens will be when they find out?
And there was the bleeding incident at the amusement park last time...
And what about Lu Wanxing saying she was going to retire from the entertainment industry last time?
So spending time with my mother is just an excuse; having a baby is the real purpose.
"So, this child is Mr. Bo's?"
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Wanxing's stomach again.
