Chapter 70: A Trap
"OK, it's over," Ye Zian called out.
Liu Lan and Yang Huayue learned a lot from the acting style of the two veteran actors, especially Cheng Fenglan, who portrayed Gu Juan's sarcastic face vividly.
Liu Lan admired her from the bottom of her heart.
Next, it was Liu Lan's turn to act opposite the veteran actors. She felt a lot of pressure. She read the lines of this scene again. This was the scene with the most lines among all her roles.
Lu Yi knew that she was a newcomer among newcomers, so he explained the play to her.
"Ji Ning lives a comfortable and affluent life, so she is much simpler than Ji An. She is just too simple and doesn't have any scheming, so she foolishly said what she was thinking and let Ji Liguo hear it. She was persuaded to buy a villa because she foolishly believed what Ji Liguo and Gu Juan said. There is no need for you to deliberately act this kind of 'stupid', it is better to be more natural."
The word "silly" in Lü Yi's words is not a derogatory word, it usually refers to the innocence of a girl who has not experienced the world. In today's materialistic society, this innocence is precious. Lü Yi thinks that Liu Lan does have a bit of Ji Ning's "silliness", and it is no wonder that Ye Zian chose this college student to play Ji Ning.
Ye Zian clapped his hands and said to Liu Lan, "Now it's your turn to appear on camera. Act as you did just now and try to pass it in one take."
Liu Lan nodded and took a deep breath as if she was shouldering a heavy responsibility.

"Action!"
Because of the quarrel between Ji Ning and Ji An before, the two girls could not live in the same bedroom. Ji An rushed into her room, slammed the door loudly, and locked the door.
Ji Ning was sitting in Gu Qing's bed in the living room sulking. Gu Qing wanted to comfort her, but this was at home, and the walls were thin. Ji An and his parents in the room would hear what he said. Gu Qing didn't know when they would come out of the bedroom. He stood in the narrow space, at a loss, feeling trapped.
At this time, Gu Juan opened the door of the couple's room. She looked outside and saw Ji Ning and Gu Qing standing very close to each other. She frowned slightly, then walked over and said to Ji Ning, "Hey, your father just said those words in anger. Besides, no matter how angry he is, he can't hit the child. I have already scolded him severely. He knows he was wrong and is willing to apologize to you."
After saying that, Gu Juan turned around and rebuked Ji Liguo who was standing at the door of the room, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Didn't you just say you wanted to apologize? Why are you embarrassed at the last minute? Why should you be embarrassed in front of your own children? If you said or did something wrong, you should apologize. Come here quickly."
Gu Juan sang very well with a red face. Ji Ning, who was originally angry, raised his head after hearing her words and met the eyes of his father Ji Liguo who was still waiting at the door.
Ji Liguo didn't know whether he felt guilty or was afraid of his lie being exposed. He lowered his head under the gaze of his eldest daughter's clear eyes, not daring to look at her as he walked in front of her.
"It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have scolded you, let alone hit you. Daddy apologizes to you now," he whispered.
Seeing her elders bowing to her, Ji Ning couldn't stand it. She immediately stood up from the bed and supported Ji Liguo. "I was also wrong just now. Everyone has their own difficulties. I shouldn't blame you."
Gu Juan quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes. When we quarrel, everyone is angry and speaks unpleasantly. We are all family, father and daughter, so there is no overnight hatred. Once the anger has subsided, we should each take a step back. Our family of five will live in harmony in the future."
Gu Juan put her hands on Ji Liguo and Ji Ning and said, "Just listen to my advice and let this matter go."
She gave Ji Liguo a look, and Ji Liguo hesitated for a while before saying:
"You and An'an were separated when you were five or six years old. It's normal for two sisters to have a weak relationship. We let you sleep in the same bedroom. If this goes on for a long time, you might quarrel every day. You are all grown-up girls and should have your own privacy. We want to move to a bigger house, but I haven't found a stable job since I was laid off. Your aunt Gu has never worked. She occasionally works part-time and it's very hard but she doesn't make much money. The two of us have only saved about 50,000 yuan in all these years. If we sell this shabby house, we can't buy a good house with an additional 50,000 yuan, unless we buy one in the suburbs, but then you and your sisters and Qingqing's schooling will become a problem."
"Qingqing is also pitiful. He has slept in the living room for three years. Since he came to our home, he has never had his own independent space. Such an excellent child is wronged in our family."
