Although Ji Ping's film is not a key project in the studio, there are still many people who covet the position of the protagonist.
People from all walks of life showed their talents for this opportunity, and it was not easy for Zheng Wenjing to become the heroine.
Although Chen Nian is a very nice person, Zheng Wenjing does not want to gamble on people's hearts.
She forced a smile and said, "Sister Nian, I'm fine. This little injury won't cause any trouble. It will definitely not affect the filming."
Ji Ping also said, "Thank you Sister Nian for your concern. The filming will start some time soon. Wen Jing's head injury is a minor one, but it won't be healed by then."
Chen Nian nodded and said, "That's good. You two are united in purpose and can definitely achieve great things. We neighbors are all looking forward to seeing Director Ji Ping's movie become a big hit."
"This way, I can tell people later that Ji Ping, a famous director in Beijing, is my neighbor. It will be so impressive."
Ji Ping pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Then I'll borrow your good wishes."
After chatting for a while, Chen Nian returned home.
Ji Ping continued to clean up the debris of the basin on the ground. After he finished, he helped Zheng Wenjing into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, Zheng Wenjing couldn't wait to ask Ji Ping to get some warm water so that she could wipe her body.
It was hot in the summer, and she went to the hospital and had an emergency last night without even bringing a change of clothes.
So, last night when she was staying in the hospital, she not only didn't wipe her body before going to bed, but also didn't change her clothes when she got up early. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Zheng Wenjing felt that she smelled.
Ji Ping responded and hurried to get some warm water for Zheng Wenjing, gently reminding her, "Wenjing, be careful when you wash the wound. Don't get it wet. It's hot in the summer, and getting the wound wet can easily cause inflammation."
Zheng Wenjing hummed, "I know. I'll be careful. You should get out now."
The couple's house is not big, and the bedroom is a small space separated by a wardrobe, so it is not very private.
Ji Ping came out with a thermos and didn't stay at home for long.
There was no water in the thermos, so while Zheng Wenjing was washing herself, she went to the bathroom to fill the thermos.
Ji Ping carried the thermos to the water room. When he was filling the thermos with water, he happened to meet his neighbor aunt who lived in the same building.
When the neighbor saw Ji Ping, she asked him, "Ji Ping, I heard your daughter Wen Jing was injured and hospitalized. How is she now? Is she seriously ill?"
Ji Ping smiled and replied, "Aunt, Wen Jing is fine. She just fell and scraped her head. She'll be fine in a few days."
This aunt's daughter is about the same age as Zheng Wenjing and is also an actress at a film studio. During a recent film casting call, she was the loudest voice opposing Zheng Wenjing's role as the female lead.
Everyone understands why we oppose it.
She simply wanted to get rid of Zheng Wenjing to make room for her own daughter.
But she didn't even open her eyes to see what Zheng Wenjing looked like, or what her daughter looked like.
The heroine in Ji Ping's movie is a stunning beauty. Even if Zheng Wenjing couldn't play the role, her daughter would not be chosen.
Because they were once competitors, Ji Ping was worried that she would make trouble for Zheng Wenjing behind her back, so he avoided the issue and did not dare to tell her the truth about Zheng Wenjing.
When the neighbor auntie heard the answer she wanted to hear, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She laughed dryly twice and said reluctantly, "I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad Wenjing is okay."
As he spoke, the thermos was already filled with hot water.
Ji Ping said goodbye to her politely and walked home with the thermos.
As soon as they turned the corner, they saw a familiar figure in the distance walking towards the door of their unit.
Ji Ping called out, "Mom?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ping's mother immediately turned around, stopped, and asked him, "Ji Ping, where have you been?"
Ji Ping quickened his pace and walked towards his mother, answering as he walked, "There's no hot water at home. I'll go to the water room to get some hot water."
"Why are you going?" Ji Ping's mother said dissatisfiedly, "The film is about to start shooting. You are the director and should focus on the production instead of being bogged down by household chores. Let Zheng Wenjing do these chores."
Ji Ping said, "Mom, your idea is wrong. I'm a director, and Wen Jing is an actress. We both have to work. After work, we have to share the housework. How can we let one person do it all the time?"
"That's different." Ji Ping's mother said, "You are much busier than her."
Ji Ping said, "My dad is busier than you. You still order him to wash dishes and mop the floor when you are at home."
Ji Ping's mother was speechless after hearing his words. After a long silence, she muttered, "If you ask me, I shouldn't have let Zheng Wenjing act in movies in the first place! It would have been better if she had just been an honest waiter. Maybe you two would have had a child by now. Now, after acting for a few months, she still hasn't had a child, and instead, her heart has gone wild, and she's obsessed with becoming famous."
"You're almost thirty, what are you still doing?"
"Hurry up and think of a way. The important thing is to have a baby as soon as possible."
