Chapter 160 The Real Heiress Kicked Out of Her Home—The Female Protagonist
Upon arriving at her new address, Yao Yao still stayed in the side bedroom, but this time, the space in the side bedroom was about the same as that in the master bedroom.
The new house is in a great location and the two of them like it very much.
The web series was scheduled to start filming a week later, and Qin Qing planned to take Yao Yao to the opening ceremony. Although it was just a minor role in the background, the two of them wanted to broaden their horizons.
Aside from that, the two of them don't have much to do for the time being. Their roles as background characters don't involve many scenes, so they just need to stay home and wait for the director's instructions.
However, during this time, Yaoyao did not stop to rest, but instead found a performance teacher and began to systematically learn performance.
Qin Qing has resigned from the company, and when she has nothing to do during the day, she goes to see her father.
Especially when there are parties, Qin Qing would eagerly follow her father to attend in order to make connections.
The day before filming began, Qin Qing and Yao Yao went to the mall to buy clothes in preparation for the opening ceremony the next day.
Even when faced with a situation where no one cares, Qin Qing and Yao Yao both wanted to dress themselves up nicely, as their first drama was always worth commemorating.
"You look absolutely stunning in this red dress! I'll buy it! You'll definitely wow everyone tomorrow!"
As soon as Yaoyao came out of the dressing room, Qin Qing, who was waiting by the door, praised her excitedly.
This was the first time Qin Qing had seen Yao Yao wearing red. The bright and vibrant color made her skin look as white as snow, her eyes as black as ink, and her hair as black as a waterfall.
The person before me was like a blooming poppy, exuding both allure and danger.
The red dress perfectly accentuated her slender figure, and the hem was adorned with exquisite embroidery, swaying gently with her movements like a burning flame.
The sales clerk next to her was also full of amazement, praising her repeatedly: "This young lady looks absolutely stunning in this dress!"
All eyes in the store were drawn to Yaoyao, as if she were the only person left in the world.
Yao Yao stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and slowly turned her body to examine herself from different angles.
Yaoyao's lips gradually turned up, forming a satisfied and confident smile.
"I think it looks good too, so I'll buy this one."
Yao Yao smiled and said to Qin Qing and the sales clerk.
Carrying the packaged dresses, Yaoyao and Qin Qing walked out of the store hand in hand.
The sun was already setting in the west, its afterglow bathing the street in a warm and peaceful light. They walked and chatted, their laughter ringing out.
"Sister Qing, let's shop around some more. I won't wear this dress tomorrow."
Yao Yao said calmly.
Qin Qing immediately understood Yao Yao's concerns. In her excitement, Yao Yao forgot to keep a low profile. If Yao Yao outshone everyone else tomorrow, it would definitely make the main character uncomfortable.
Qin Qing immediately said, "Okay, let's shop around some more. I'll also buy a business suit. I'm not going to be a sweet girl anymore; I want to be a mature and sophisticated woman!"
Yao Yao quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I wish my sister Qing will become a strong woman soon!"
Qin Qing chimed in, "Haha, I wish my dear sister will soon become a top female celebrity!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, then burst into laughter. Luckily, there were no other people on the street, otherwise passersby would have thought the two were crazy.
The two continued shopping, and just as they turned the corner, there was a women's clothing store. Coincidentally, Qin Qing's phone rang.
It was Director Xu's call.
Qin Qing answered quickly, her voice cheerful: "Uncle Xu, good afternoon!"
Xu Baisong, who had been feeling gloomy, was taken aback by the loud greeting. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Good afternoon, Xiao Qin."
Xu Baisong's voice was a little low: "Xiao Qin, do you and Xiao Ning have time to come to the film set today?"
Qin Qing and Yao Yao exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss. She immediately replied, "I'm free! Uncle Xu, we'll head over now."
Xu Baisong nodded over the phone, his voice slightly lower, and said, "Okay, the same place as the last interview."
Qin Qing told Yao Yao about the phone call, and the two immediately hailed a taxi and headed to the film set.

"What! Yao Yao is going to be the female lead?!" Qin Qing's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Xu Baisong's words.
Sitting to the side, Yaoyao's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. Her bright eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing her inner pleasure and satisfaction.
Xu Baisong nodded and explained, "Yes, the female lead we had previously cast went to act in a big-budget drama, so naturally she wouldn't be interested in my little web series. That's why I thought of Xiao Ning."
After saying that, Yao Yao repeatedly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Director Xu. Don't worry, I will do my best!"
Xu Baisong waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, you're just lucky. Let me make this clear from the start, Xiao Qin, your dad and I are old acquaintances. If Xiao Ning runs away halfway through, I will definitely hold her accountable. Although this is a web series, I don't want it to be ruined!"
Qin Qing quickly said, "Uncle Xu, don't worry! Yao Mei and I will stay in the film crew obediently and will not cause you any trouble!"
Yao Yao assured him, "Director Xu, don't worry, you are my mentor. Without your appreciation and support, how could I have played the female lead in my very first drama! I am not an ungrateful person. You and Sister Qing have helped me a lot, how could I possibly turn around and bite you!"
Xu Baisong was completely relieved, and his gloomy expression softened slightly. He continued, "Okay, let's sign the contract today and attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. We can't miss this auspicious day!"
Qin Qing and Yao Yao were overjoyed and repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Xu Baisong.
"My lovely lady! My lovely lady! We made the right choice with the red dress! We'll wear it tomorrow! Red is simply our lucky color!"
Stepping out of the film set, Qin Qing danced with joy.
Yao Yao nodded firmly. Her acting career had started off smoothly, something she hadn't anticipated.
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Qing! I'll wear a red dress tomorrow!"
"Ahhhhh, I'm so happy! I never thought my first role would be as the female lead! Sister Qing, it's all thanks to you!"
Yaoyao jumped up and down happily, smiling as she spoke to Qin Qing.
Qin Qing chuckled: "It's also because our Yaomei is so capable!"
The two sisters walked along, praising each other as they went, and were in a very good mood.

On the second day of the opening ceremony, Yao Yao and Qin Qing met the male lead, Zhang Qixuan, who was also a newcomer. He was handsome and had a clean-cut demeanor.
Before the opening ceremony, Yao Yao and Zhang Qixuan got to know each other through Director Xu's introduction.
Overall, the crew members were quite nice, and Yao Yao and Qin Qing seemed to be enjoying their time there.
On the first day of filming, Yao Yao adapted quickly. She seemed to be born for this job, unafraid of any camera or the crowd around her, and performed in front of the camera with ease.
Xu Baisong was very satisfied with Yaoyao's condition on the first day. The smile on his lips never faded, and he wore a smile all day.
Zhang Qixuan is a graduate of a well-known performing arts school, and her performance is also quite remarkable. The interaction between the two is full of sweet romance.
Qin Qing waited dutifully on the sidelines, and immediately offered Yao Yao water and food after she finished filming, which was very thoughtful.
"Yao Mei! You're amazing! Your first acting role is so good! Did you even see Director Xu's expression? He looked like he'd struck gold!"
While handing Yaoyao a bottle of mineral water, Qin Qing praised her artist to her heart's content.
Yao Yao was quite satisfied with herself just now. After taking a few small sips of water, she said with a smile, "Hehe~ Sister Qing, I also think I have talent!"
Qin Qing said proudly, "That's right! I also think I have a great eye! The future number one agent in the entertainment industry!"
"Hahahaha..." The two of them burst into laughter, their laughter filled with anticipation for the future.

Life went on at a leisurely pace, with Yaoyao and Qin Qing going back and forth between home and the film set every day.
Their lives were simple; they went to the film set happily every day. The crew was also quite diverse, and everyone was easy to get along with.
This drama is adapted from a novel and is titled "The Most Beautiful Youth".
This drama tells the story of a boy and a girl who secretly love each other in high school. They encourage each other in their studies, accompany each other in life, and eventually get into a prestigious university together. After graduating from university, the two hold a romantic wedding.
Because the actors in the production crew were all newcomers or unknown actors.
Therefore, during filming, the web series made almost no splash, and even its official announcement on social media platforms went unnoticed.
But this did not affect Xu Baisong's mindset at all. After the previous female lead decided to stand him up, he had already thought of this situation when he decided to let Ning Yao play the female lead.
Even though some investors were not optimistic and withdrew their investment, Xu Baisong remained confident!
At least there are some insightful people, like Chairman Qin, who invested more, which ensured the smooth progress of the drama.
Xu Baisong received special instructions from Chairman Qin, who said that there was enough money, so there was no need to be stingy and to film the best possible result.
This gave Director Xu a strong sense of reassurance.

Having gotten rid of her disliked sister-in-law and with her wedding just around the corner, Shui Xiaoxiao is beaming with joy lately.
Recently, Shui Xiaoxiao has been dominating the trending topics, from paparazzi photos of her and Ning Yun trying on wedding dresses, to having dinner with her future mother-in-law, shopping with her future sister-in-law, and even starring in her future brother-in-law's music video.
A new trending topic appears every day, remaining at the top of the search rankings. Opening the topic reveals a flood of comments from Shui Xiaoxiao's fans and casual observers expressing envy for her relationship with her future in-laws.
[So touching! Everyone loves Xiaoxiao! She's won over the entire Ning family!]
Looking at these paparazzi photos, it's clear that Xiaoxiao gets along very naturally with Ning Yun's family. The fact that she gets along so well with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law shows that Xiaoxiao is a very good girl!
[Upstairs, don't forget that our Xiaoxiao also comes from a wealthy family; this is a love story between a prince and a princess!]
[The entire Ning family is so good-looking! Why does my sister-in-law seem a bit unlike a member of the Ning family?]
[Is the person upstairs blind? They don't look alike at all! Xiaoxiao's sister-in-law and mother-in-law look very alike!]
[Ahhhh, I really want to see Xiaoxiao in her wedding dress! I want to witness Xiaoxiao's wedding ceremony. I'm willing to be a vegetarian for a month and ask for a live stream of the wedding!]
[I'm begging you too! Xiaoxiao, look at this, can't we have a live-streamed wedding? It would be amazing!]
More and more people are asking for a live stream of the wedding, and the trending search term "Shui Xiaoxiao's wedding live stream" once jumped to the top of the trending search list.
Shui Xiaoxiao was sitting and chatting in the Ning family's living room at the moment.
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You're trending again!" Ning Xun, Ning Yun's second brother, said with a smile.
Shui Xiaoxiao said modestly, "I didn't want to be on it either. These days, even the slightest thing I do makes me trend on social media, which makes me afraid to go out!"
Ning Jiaojiao peeled a grape and put it in her mouth, flattering, "It's mainly because sister-in-law is so popular. Her fans are definitely eager to see your wedding with brother!"
Ning Xun: "Jiaojiao was right. The fans are all clamoring to watch the live broadcast of the wedding."
"Live broadcast? That sounds great, it would be so much fun! Mom and Dad, what do you think?"
Ning Jiaojiao got excited as soon as she heard there was a live stream.
Ning Jianli and Chen Shuyan were whispering in a corner of the sofa. When they heard their daughter call them, they looked over in confusion. Clearly, they hadn't heard Ning Jiaojiao's words.
"Jiaojiao, what did you just say?" Chen Shuyan asked in confusion.
Ning Jiaojiao said coquettishly, "My sister-in-law's fans all want to watch the live broadcast of her wedding. I want to ask my parents if they agree?"
Chen Shuyan had heard about live streaming before, but for a family like theirs, a wedding live stream was a bit of a publicity stunt.
Before Chen Shuyan could speak, Ning Jianli spoke up first: "Don't worry about our opinions, just let your older brother decide."
Ning Yun had been reading a financial magazine. After hearing his father's words, he pondered for a few seconds, then looked up and met his fiancée's expectant gaze.
“Weddings are not suitable for live streaming,” Ning Yun said calmly.
Shui Xiaoxiao's face stiffened for a moment, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly fell silent. Ning Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed, after all, she was the one who started the topic.
After seeing his older brother leave with a comment and immediately start reading the magazine, Ning Xun could only try to salvage the situation by saying:
“What my brother said makes sense. We will be inviting a lot of political figures, and it’s not appropriate for them to show their faces.”
Ning Jiaojiao chimed in, "Yes, yes, A-Xun is right."
"Dad, Mom, what were you whispering about just now? Can't you tell us?"
Seeing that Shui Xiaoxiao's complexion had not improved, Ning Jiaojiao had no choice but to change the subject.
Hearing her daughter's question, Chen Shuyan looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at her eldest son and future daughter-in-law, unsure of how to respond.
Ning Jianli did not speak.
Seeing her father's unusually hesitant manner, Ning Jiaojiao became even more curious and pressed him for an answer: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Ning Jianli noticed that all five children opposite him were staring at him. He sighed and could only say:
"Your mother and I would like Yaoyao to attend the wedding."
