Chapter 122: Ulterior Motives
Liao Jiake has been out of the spotlight for as long as she has been married. In fact, it has only been more than a year, and she already wants to make a comeback.
When the program crew just happened to contact her agent, Liao Jiake agreed to participate without a second thought. She put a lot of thought into getting the chance to record this variety show.
She wanted to use this opportunity to make a comeback, and Liao Jiayan just wanted some exposure.
So Liao Jiake found her that day and asked her to record a show together, and Liao Jiayan agreed easily.
Liao Jiayan saw that she looked embarrassed and couldn't utter a word.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, a cold light in her eyes, and spoke in a slightly cold tone: "You have always been reluctant to let me get close to this circle. Are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
Because Liao Jiake has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she has never told anyone that she has a twin sister.
Faced with the photos taken by paparazzi based on hearsay, Liao Jiake always remained silent.
Who hasn’t been criticized when debuting in the early years?
Liao Jiake thought that it might not be her who was photographed anyway, so it didn’t matter what the keyboard warriors said, and she and her public relations team would not do anything about it.
Therefore, fans who have been with her all the way will say that she had a very good attitude in the past, did not care about villains, and focused on her career. That is why Liao Jiake is known as the national goddess today.
If she wasn't in a hurry to make a comeback and couldn't think of any other way, she probably wouldn't have asked Liao Jiayan for help.
Liao Jiake took a long time to calm down after her sister's sudden change of attitude, and then she spoke: "Yanyan, I think you may have misunderstood. The entertainment industry is not as good as you think."
"You think I'm after the entertainment industry?" Liao Jiayan suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, "I just can't understand why you always push me to the forefront and never explain to your audience."
Liao Jiake: "You don't like the entertainment industry, so it's good for everyone to misunderstand me, right?"
After all, the two have similar faces, and when they put on makeup and go out, they can really be mistaken for each other.
"Are you really doing this for my own good, or are you afraid that I might debut?"
Liao Jiake has always been very thoughtful and does not allow anyone around her to surpass her.
After all, Liao Jiayan and she are twin sisters, which poses a greater threat to her than anyone else.
…
At the same time, the director and two other female staff members came to the house where Qi Yan lived. He wanted to see Qi Yan move back with his own eyes, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well tonight.
The director sat in the courtyard outside with the old lady who was still awake. The old lady even made a pot of tea as a treat for him in the middle of the night.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry to have troubled you this day."
The old lady poured him a cup of tea and sat opposite the director, her eyes looking towards the room where Qi Yan lived. The lights were still on in the room, and shadows could be seen swaying in the room through the window.
The director was just about to take a sip of hot tea when he suddenly heard the old lady's voice reach his ears: "That's your daughter?"
The next second, his hand suddenly shook, and the tea in the cup burned his palm.
The director's expression froze, he put down the teacup in his hand, and replied awkwardly and quietly: "She is not my daughter."
He is only in his early forties and may look older, but he really cannot have a daughter that old.
But he does have a son who is in the second grade of elementary school.
The old lady looked up at the director, staring at his forehead and said, "Look at your gray hair. I thought she was your daughter."
The director subconsciously touched his hair and explained, "My gray hair has nothing to do with whether she is my daughter or not. She can't make me angry."
Qi Yan didn't bring much with her, mostly just clothes for changing, so with the help of the staff, she quickly folded her clothes and packed them into the suitcase.
Seeing Qi Yan coming out of the house with a suitcase, the director also stood up.
Before leaving, Qi Yan walked up to the old lady and said sincerely, "Sorry, grandma, I have to leave."
The old lady said with an open mind: "It's okay, you can go back."
Director: "Grandma, we'll be leaving now. I'm so sorry to bother you today. Please go to bed early."
After leaving the old lady's house, the director sent Qi Yan to Meng Chuyuan.
It took less than five minutes to walk this distance, but Qi Yan was crawling like an ant, always lagging behind them.
The director was originally walking behind them, shining a flashlight on them, but as he walked, he suddenly moved to the front.
He stopped and turned around, only to find that Qi Yan was walking so slowly.
The director held up a flashlight, waved it around Qi Yan's feet twice, and said, "Hurry up, there are only a few steps left."
"The suitcase wheels are stuck in the cracks, bro."
In order to send Qi Yan back home earlier so that they could finish work and go back to rest, the director handed the flashlight to the staff next to him, then walked over and carried Qi Yan's suitcase directly on his shoulders.
The director looked back at her and said helplessly, "Can you walk faster now?"
Without the suitcase as an excuse, Qi Yan returned to her normal pace, followed them, and soon arrived.
Seeing that the door was not locked, the staff pushed it open.
The director and the others had no intention of going in, so they put down their suitcases and said to Qi Yan, "You go in by yourself."
After a busy day, they are tired and need a rest.
Only after seeing the director and the others leave did Qi Yan come to her senses, walk in and bolt the door.
Meng Chuyuan had just finished taking a shower and was looking for a place to blow dry her hair when she saw a figure in the yard and walked out curiously.
Qi Yan walked towards the main hall with her suitcase. Before she entered the house, she saw Meng Chuyuan coming out of the side courtyard.
"Are you back?"
Qi Yan hummed softly and asked coldly, "Where do I live?"
Meng Chuyuan looked at the house to her side and gestured, "There are two rooms left on your left. You can take your pick."
Seeing that the room on her left was exactly symmetrical with Meng Chuyuan's, and separated by such a large yard, no one could be afraid of disturbing each other when coming in and out, which was pretty good.
Qi Yan decisively pulled her suitcase to the left and chose one of the two remaining rooms.
Meng Chuyuan found the hair dryer in the main hall and went back to the room to blow dry her hair. Qi Yan also took this opportunity to tidy up briefly and then took a shower.
next day
Meng Chuyuan got up before the live broadcast started.
The wind was a little strong last night, and there were a lot of fallen leaves on the ground. After Meng Chuyuan finished washing, he felt a little dirty, so he took a broom and swept it.
Qi Yan also got up at this time because she had to put on makeup. If she wanted to finish her makeup and appear on camera, she had to do it before the live broadcast.
She came out of the room in her pajamas and a coat. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Meng Chuyuan sweeping fallen leaves in the yard.
