Two weeks later, Li Mu's movie had just finished filming, and he was already promoting it to various media outlets.
In addition to showing sweet behind-the-scenes footage of the male and female leads, they also edited in scenes featuring Wen Jiaojiao.
As a result, Wen Jiaojiao's quiet and independent temperament became widely known, successfully gaining her a group of fans.
Inside the villa, the three sat in front of the television. Zhou Jinyan joked, "The more outstanding she is, the further you are from her."
Zhou Jin then offered his advice:
"That's right, you're not getting any younger. You can find another woman you like and get married in no time. Why hang yourself on one tree?"
Wen Zhaoye didn't know what he meant:
"She hasn't fallen for anyone else either, so I still have a chance."
Zhou Jin sighed:
"That makes sense. Sunrise is now all over the country in major high-end cities. You're not bad either. When you go to meet your father-in-law, he shouldn't be so averse to it."
Zhou Jinyan had recently figured out the general relationship between the two, and he said cryptically:
"Are you sure that's his father-in-law, and not... a direct relative?"
Zhou Jin: "No, what's going on here? You've got me all confused."
Wen Zhaoye lowered his gaze and no longer concealed anything, saying:
"He is my biological father."
Although Zhou Jinyan had a vague guess in her heart, she was still extremely surprised when she received the answer, while Zhou Jin was so shocked that her pupils dilated.
Wen Zhaoye: "He has always been the one helping me, but he has a wife and a daughter."
“I know, the key is that he doesn’t have a son, and you are his son.” Zhou Jin said in shock, “Then wouldn’t he leave all his property to you?”
Wen Zhaoye: "I won't take him. He made his fortune entirely through his wife. He has no conscience, but I can't live without her."
Even if he gives it to me, I will give it all to her daughter. I've been keeping track of all the help he's given me during this time, and I'll repay him sooner or later.
Zhou Jin couldn't help but advise:
"You're his son, what more could you possibly want? He relies on his wife's family, but if he doesn't have the ability, he can't rely on them anymore."
So you have to take a share, right? He's a shipping magnate from Hong Kong. Even a little bit of his money could fill your garment factories all over the country. If you inherit the company, it will be renowned overseas.
Wen Zhaoye said firmly:
“My mind is made up. I will not ask for a single penny. Besides, I have hands and feet. If I want to gain international renown, I can do it myself.”
The two were silent for a few seconds, then Wen Zhaoye brought Li Zhu back to the film set.
He walked up to the second floor through the small door and immediately saw Wen Jiaojiao surrounded by a group of photographers.
After filming the scene where she sells tofu pudding, Wen Jiaojiao lay back down on the recliner. During this time, under Li Suo's painstaking explanations...
Her acting skills have barely stopped declining, mainly because there's no room for them to decline any further.
Li Xue stepped forward with a bottle of mineral water and said:
"Miss, the next scene is still an hour away, why don't you go back and rest for a bit?"
Wen Jiaojiao took a small sip and was about to get up when Qi Ying walked over with her arms crossed.
She glanced at it dismissively and scoffed, "She really thinks she's some kind of rich girl."
Wen Jiaojiao didn't take her seriously at all and said:
"I'm telling you, it might not have been like that before, but now that my mom's around, it really is."
Qi Ying used to have a very good relationship with Qi Meijing and Jiang Ci, but recently, for some reason...
Any attempt to send Wen Jiaojiao away would invariably displease the two of them. Later, they learned that she wasn't their biological daughter, but there were certain reasons behind it.
This angered her even more, because even she, as a relative, had little to do with the Jiang family's wealth.
As a result, Wen Jiaojiao, who has no blood relation to the family, came along and was showered with resources. She was also highly sought after as the daughter of the Jiang family, which made people envious.
She scoffed, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. My aunt is just confused for a moment, but she'll find out your true colors sooner or later."
Wen Jiaojiao, away from the film crew, glanced at her sideways and said, "What true face do I have?"
Qi Ying glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she boldly said:
"Isn't she just a woman kept by Jiang Peitian? Since she couldn't be his wife, she moved into his house under the guise of being his daughter, so that she could be his partner?"
With a "smack," Wen Jiaojiao's eyes blazed with fire, and she slapped her across the cheek. As the girl covered her face in disbelief, she warned:
"Watch your mouth, or you're asking for a beating."
Qi Ying, having been pampered by her family since childhood, was furious and raised her hand to slap Wen Jiaojiao.
"You bitch, what's with all your arrogance all day long?"
Wen Jiaojiao grabbed her wrist and said in a cold voice:
"If you want to embarrass yourself, I don't want to play along. This is just a warning to you. Remember this."
Qi Ying was furious and decisively raised her other hand to slap him.
Before Wen Jiaojiao could dodge, suddenly, a large hand reached out from behind and grabbed Qi Ying's wrist tightly.
She followed her arm, turned around, and saw it was Li Zhu. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Assistant Li, thank goodness you came, otherwise this woman would have sent me to the hospital."
Li Zhu shook off Qi Ying, not daring to mention that she had witnessed Qi Ying slap her hard from upstairs.
He didn't know Wen Jiaojiao, nor could he hear what the two were saying, but knowing that she had struck first, he was somewhat biased towards Qi Ying.
But Wen Zhaoye didn't hesitate and told him to come down and help Wen Jiaojiao beat up Qi Ying.
He looked at Qi Ying, who had been thrown to the ground, and walked over to her, saying, "I'm sorry, I have to do as I'm told."
Qi Ying was completely bewildered, still reeling from the shock of being left behind.
The next second, Li Zhu raised his hand and slapped her across the face again.
