Chapter 44: Rivalry
Yang Huayue smiled at Liu Lan, but the next second, her smile turned into a sad plea.
"Sister, you have good grades, good looks, and you play the piano well. You are so outstanding and you have everything. Can you give your brother to me?"
Yang Huayue was indeed a professional actor, she was instantly immersed in the role. Liu Lan was slow to react for half a second. She recalled the contents of the script she had just read in her mind and poured them into Ji Ning's memory.
Just as she tried hard to play the role of "Liu Man", she now sees herself as Ji Ning.
"Gu Qing is a person, not an object. He has his own thoughts, which are not something I can control," Liu Lan said in a cold tone, looking at Yang Huayue with an arrogant gaze, as if she was looking at a naughty child.
Yang Huayue sneered, "Oh, he listens to whatever you say. He's like a dog in front of you."
Liu Man angrily scolded, "Nonsense."
"Don't pretend. I know you look down on us, dad, and me. Yes, that woman took you to America to live a rich life and raised you to be a lady from a wealthy family. Compared to you, I am just a child from the slums. I don't understand how a woman can be so partial. Am I not her daughter? Haha, God has eyes and let her die. She deserves it."
Yang Huayue's eyes were red as she stared at Liu Lan, feeling anger, jealousy, and a bit of sadness.
...
...
Ji Ning and Ji An's parents divorced when their two daughters were young. Ji Ning followed her mother to the United States, while Ji An and her father Ji Liguo stayed in China.
The two girls originally started from the same point, but their mother was very inspiring after arriving in the United States. She started out by washing dishes in a restaurant and later opened her own restaurant with millions of assets. Ji Ning's life became better and better. She learned piano, dance, and received elite education.
However, Ji Liguo still had no ambition to make progress. Later, his company went bankrupt and he was laid off. He lived in poverty with Ji An.
"How outrageous! How arrogant and disrespectful! How lawless!"
Liu Lan, who had been speaking softly, suddenly raised her voice. The severity of her voice surprised Qiu Jing, Ye Zian and others, because this sentence was not in the original script.
Yang Huayue was also shocked by Liu Lan's aura and subconsciously took a small step back.
"Mom gave birth to us and suffered so much. You know the reason why our parents divorced. She had no choice. You don't understand her, but you have no right to blame her. You should blame Dad. He forced Mom to choose between you and me. He didn't allow her to take both of us away. He brought you all the hard times."
Liu Lan's tone became heavier and heavier, and she became more and more excited. At the end, even her breathing became rapid, and the only sound in the whole room was her heavy breathing.
Liu Lan stared at Yang Huayue, and Yang Huayue also stared at her. Her eyes were angry, but Yang Huayue's were cold. At this moment, Yang Huayue's eyes suddenly jumped behind Liu Lan, revealing a strange smile, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Perfect."
Ye Zian stood up and applauded.
Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong also stood up and applauded.
Liu Lan saw the satisfied smile on Qiu Jing's face.
Ye Zian was looking at Liu Lan. He was looking forward to the girl's performance in the movie.
When Liu Lan walked out of the Galaxy Building with her acting contract, she still felt like it was a dream because the interview went so smoothly.
After she and Yang Huayue finished their performance, Professor Qiu and Director Ye seemed very happy. Professor Qiu asked Zhou Qian to draft the contract directly and told her some things to pay attention to after the filming started.
The plot of the movie takes place in Shanghai, and the main filming location is also in Shanghai. The day after tomorrow, Liu Man will go to Shanghai. Now she has become a temporary worker under Xinghe Film and Television Co., Ltd. Professor Qiu said that in addition to the 50,000 yuan salary, she can also enjoy reimbursement of transportation and accommodation expenses, as well as a travel allowance of 400 yuan per day.
When they reached the company gate, the security guard saw the special document bag in Liu Lan's hand and was very surprised. "Beautiful lady, have you signed a contract with our company?"
The security guard's gaze was too exaggerated, as if he had seen a big shot. Liu Lan was a little embarrassed, "No, no, it's just a temporary part-time contract."
