However, Miao Tianxiang was somewhat stubborn and the older he got, the less he liked to hear sarcastic remarks, so he couldn't object at first, and he also wanted to see Ye Qingqing's reaction.
If Ye Qingqing wanted to participate, he would certainly support her and use his connections in the entertainment industry to pave the way for his granddaughter. With Ye Qingqing's talent and looks, even if she had no acting skills, she could still become a sensation in that circle.
Her face alone is enough to carry a whole movie.
But now it seems that Ye Qingqing has no interest in the entertainment industry, which suits Ye Xunmei's wishes just the way he does. He also doesn't want his granddaughter to get involved in that messy circle.
Ye Qingqing doesn't have Miao Tianxiang's shrewdness and methods; even if she gets stuck in the mud, she can still escape unscathed.
Miao Tianxiang was flattered by Ye Xunmei's compliments and beamed with joy. She said coquettishly, "You're right. It's very simple for Qingqing to become famous. At worst, I'll pay for a movie and name her as the lead. There's no need to compete with others. I misunderstood."
"Thank you, Aunt Xiang, but let's not waste your money. I really don't want to become famous. I'm fine as I am now, as long as I can make money."
Ye Qingqing felt she should make things clear beforehand, lest Miao Tianxiang act on a whim again and actually pay for the movie, which she would then have to refuse.
Miao Tianxiang chuckled, gently tapped her forehead, and said reproachfully, "I've never seen anyone as pure and detached as you. You have the face of a leading man, but you only want to be a supporting character."
Ye Qingqing said seriously, "No, I just want to be the protagonist in real life, not in a movie."
If it were her past life, she would never have been so calm. In her past life, she was also a vain girl who wanted to become famous and a star. But after experiencing imprisonment and betrayal by her lover and relatives, she didn't necessarily understand the true meaning of life, but she did become more open-minded.
So what if you're world-famous?
Throughout history, how many of those legendary women who made a name for themselves ultimately had a good ending?
Leaving aside distant examples, just look at those popular female celebrities in the entertainment industry. When they are popular, they are surrounded by flowers and horses, partying every night, with everyone around them. They stand on high clouds, admired by thousands.
But once they grow old and lose their beauty, they fall from grace. Those with a good mindset and financial planning can enjoy a smooth retirement, but those with a bad mindset and no financial planning live a life worse than ordinary people.
That kind of life is not what Ye Qingqing wants now.
Miao Tianxiang's expression changed slightly as she looked at Ye Qingqing in surprise. After a few seconds, she sighed and smiled slightly.
"You're right. I've lived most of my life, and I'm not as open-minded as you, a little girl."
Ye Qingqing was a little embarrassed. "You flatter me. I just know my own limitations and that I'm not suited for that kind of life."
Ye Xunmei quickly said, "Everyone has a different personality, and of course, their ideal life is different too. Darling, this soup tastes really good!"
Before long, Miao Tianxiang's attention was completely focused on the soup. She chatted and laughed with Ye Xunmei from time to time, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Ye Qingqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After eating for a while longer, it was almost eight o'clock, and Ye Qingqing said goodbye.
Miao Tianxiang said to Miao Tianxiong, "Have the hotel send a car to take Qingqing back to school and to her dormitory."
"yes!"
Miao Tianxiong immediately put down his chopsticks, even though she still had an abalone on her chopsticks. She only took one bite and immediately went to make arrangements, acting swiftly and decisively.
