Chapter 233, Part 233 (Updated)
233:
Ye Qingxi quickly came up with a solution.
Since it's a movie about father-son relationships, it can't just have a father and no son. Therefore, this TV series will inevitably need a young actor to play the son.
That makes things much easier.
He especially remembered that the young actor who played the son in the original book ended up with a bad ending because of this movie.
If he were to act in it, he might be able to help the other person change their fate.
So... how did he meet Feng Que and become this little actor?
Ye Qingxi rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
First of all, his father must not know about this.
Otherwise, his father would definitely not agree.
Ye Qingxi felt that he understood his father too well. His father thought it was his duty to do anything for him, but if he were to do something for his father, his father would definitely think it was unnecessary.
Moreover, if he lets Mu Shaowu take him there, and then negotiates with Feng Que that his condition for participating is that Mu Shaowu also participates, and must be the male lead, Mu Shaowu would be incredibly embarrassed in that situation.
Therefore, it's best to keep this a secret from Mu Shaowu until it succeeds.
This way, we can also give Mu Shaowu a surprise.
Secondly, the person he was looking for had to know where Feng Que was and be able to meet him.
Finally, this person must be someone he knows well, someone his family can fully trust, someone who allows them to go out alone, and someone who doesn't find it strange for them to go out alone.
There's only one suitable one then!
She is his aunt, who is smart, cute, beautiful, kind, gentle, generous, and has a reliable male friend!
After Mu Shaoting returned to her room that night, Ye Qingxi went to her room and discussed it with her.
"Who do you want to see?" Mu Shaoting asked, puzzled. "Feng Que?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Auntie, can you take me there?"
Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?
Mu Shaoting didn't quite understand, "Who is this Feng Que?"
"He is a director."
Mu Shaoting: !!!
Mu Shaoting: "You want to act?!"
Ye Qingxi shook her head. "No, it was my dad who wanted to film it, but he didn't want my dad, so I wanted to see him and ask him to give my dad another chance."
Mu Shaoting: ...That must be difficult!
Although their baby is indeed very cute, this kind of thing can't be solved by being cute, can it?
"Forget it," Mu Shaoting advised him gently. "This kind of thing can't be changed just by you going to see him, so it won't do you any good."
"Maybe?" Ye Qingxi blinked.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely talk to him nicely, without crying, making a fuss, or arguing."
Mu Shaoting: ...That's impossible.
Mu Shaoting looked at his adorable little nephew, "Do you really have to see him?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "My dad always helps me solve whatever I encounter and makes me wish for it, so I want to make him wish for this too."
You're such a good baby!
Does your father know?
Ye Qingxi shook her head.
“If Dad finds out, he probably won’t let me go,” he whispered.
Mu Shaoting: "...You even know that?!"
Ye Qingxi smiled and took her hand. "That's why I came to find you, Auntie~"
He shook Mu Shaoting's hand and pleaded, "Auntie~ Auntie~ Auntie, please say yes~"
Mu Shaoting was completely at a loss with him. "Fine, fine."
"Let me think of a way."
"Then Auntie, you can't tell my dad about this! You can't let him know what I'm going to do."
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting nodded helplessly.
Ye Qingxi extended her little finger, "Let's pinky swear. If Auntie secretly tells Daddy, I'll get last place in the final exam."
Mu Shaoting: !!!
"How could this be?!"
Ye Qingxi looked at her, "It's okay, Auntie, even if you didn't say anything, I could still get first place!"
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting thought he was almost too smart!
So clever!
She extended her little finger and made a pinky promise with her nephew. After Ye Qingxi left, she called Li Jing and asked, "Do you know Feng Que?"
"Of course I know, don't you know?"
"Of course I don't know," Mu Shaoting said matter-of-factly. "I'm a singer, not an actor."
Li Jing: ...
"You don't know about the Feng family and the overseas Phoenix Group?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoting sat up straight immediately. "He's connected to the Phoenix Group?!"
“Of course,” Li Jing said. “When Feng Que’s grandfather was studying abroad, he fell in love with a local girl. The girl didn’t want to leave her family to marry far away, and the Feng family wanted to expand into overseas markets, so Feng Que’s grandfather stayed abroad. After that, the two worked hard together, and by the time Feng Que’s father took over the family business, the Feng family’s influence overseas was stronger than that in China. Feng Que’s father also changed the group’s name to Phoenix, hoping that it would last a long time.”
"Then why did Feng Que become a director?"
"Just like you," Li Jing laughed. "Hobbies and interests. But he'll definitely go back to inherit the family business. He's his parents' only child; they can't really let him be a director for the rest of his life, can they?"
Mu Shaoting: ...Why does this sound so much like it's talking about her?
"Why are you suddenly asking me about Feng Que?" Li Jing asked, puzzled. "You want to cooperate with him?"
Mu Shaoting shook his head, "I didn't, it was my brother."
“My brother wanted to work with him, so he auditioned for his new drama. He didn’t pass the audition, and he was probably not happy. Xiao Xi found out, so Xiao Xi wanted to see Feng Que and ask him to give his father another chance.”
Li Jing: ? ? ?
Li Jing thought this was simply impossible.
"Xiao Xi is still young, and sometimes her thinking is inevitably naive."
“He’s just a kid, it’s normal.” Mu Shaoting’s tone was clearly affectionate. “So do you know where he is right now?”
Li Jing: !!!
"You're really planning to take him?!"
“I’ve already agreed to him,” Mu Shaoting said.
Li Jing: ...
Well, now it's not just the nephew who's involved, but also the aunt.
"You don't really think that Xiaoxi going will change the outcome of this matter, do you?"
"Of course I don't think so, but if Xiao Xi wants to go and I have the ability to let him go, then naturally I can let him go."
Mu Shaoting said generously, "Anyway, it's just that after meeting Feng Que, Xiao Xi will tell him how good his father is and hope that he will give his father another chance."
"Feng Que might not accept it, but his drama is about the relationship between father and son, so he should be able to understand Xiao Xi's good intentions and won't laugh at him. He might even praise him as a good baby who cares about his father."
"As for Xiao Xi, he did what he wanted to do, so he won't regret that he wanted to help his father but no one supported him or helped him."
“I don’t want Xiaoxi to be unhappy. When I participated in the competition, he was the one who supported me and stayed with me. So no matter what he wants to do, I will support him and stay with him. Maybe things won’t end well, but at least he did what he wanted to do. He won’t have any regrets, and he won’t be sad about it right now.”
Li Jing listened quietly and then slowly smiled.
Mu Shaoting is like that; he has a spoiled and domineering personality, but sometimes he is surprisingly gentle and soft-hearted.
"Then I'll take you there," he said.
That way, he can talk to Feng Que and see if he can help Mu Shaowu get his movie again.
"Sure," Mu Shaoting agreed.
"Then I'll go talk to Xiaoxi and see when he wants to go."
"Um."
Mu Shaoting hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi answered without hesitation: "Tomorrow!"
Mu Shaoting: ...You really can't wait!
Ye Qingxi was naturally eager to meet him. The sooner the better, and the sooner Feng Que would agree to his proposal, the sooner his father would be happy.
So of course it has to be tomorrow!
And it has to be in the morning!
We set off very early this morning!
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting had no choice but to ask her dear brother for leave again.
Mu Zheng: ...
Mu Zheng: [This is the third time you've taken leave this month.]
Mu Shaoting: [I'll be back soon. Xiao Xi wanted to go to the comic convention, so I'll take him.]
Mu Zheng: ? ? ? Xiao Xi?
Mu Zheng: [Then you guys have fun, no rush, let him enjoy himself.]
Mu Shaoting: [Mmm.]
On the other side, Mu Shaowu also asked in surprise, "You're going to the comic convention?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "A classmate of mine went before and said it was a lot of fun."
"Then I'll go with you."
Ye Qingxi quickly shook her head: "Dad, you're too famous!"
He said, "I'm already very famous now. If we act together, it'll be too obvious. My aunt took me there."
Mu Shaowu: "...So your aunt isn't famous?"
“Auntie can put on makeup and transform herself into someone else,” Ye Qingxi said. “I’ve already talked to Auntie about it, and she said she’s willing.”
“Of course she’d love to, she couldn’t be happier,” Mu Shaowu said. “Alright, you two have fun.”
"Mm," Ye Qingxi said with a smile.
The next morning, Mu Shaoting took Ye Qingxi and prepared to go out.
Looking at her looking exactly as she had come, Mu Shaowu asked in confusion, "Where's your makeup?"
Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?
"I don't cosplay."
"Didn't Xiaoxi say that you wanted to transform yourself into something other than yourself?"
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting could only agree with her nephew, saying, "I'll get my makeup done when I get there."
She quickly pulled Ye Qingxi out the door, met up with Li Jing at the airport, and flew together to S City, where Fengque was located.
When Feng Que woke up from his nap, he received an invitation from his cousin to have dinner.
Feng Que: "Didn't we already eat that?"
"So you're going to eat today too, aren't you?" my cousin said with a smile.
Feng Que: ...That makes sense.
So, Feng Que took a bath, changed his clothes, and went out.
When he arrived at the agreed-upon private room, he discovered that there were three other people inside besides his cousin.
A very handsome man—of course, in his personal opinion, not as good as Mu Shaowu, whom he had met before.
Feng Que felt a pang of regret as he thought about this.
Mu Shaowu was the actor he had met since returning to China who best matched his aesthetic standards, but unfortunately his acting skills were not worthy of his face.
So much so that after watching Mu Shaowu's audition performance for the first time, he surprisingly gave him a second chance to perform, which was quite hard for him to accept.
You should know that before this, he had never given anyone a second chance.
After all, opportunities are only for those who are prepared; if you're not prepared, then you're not the right fit.
However, it was clear that Mu Shaowu was not unprepared; rather, his strength was simply what it was.
Feng Que had no choice but to regretfully give him up.
Perhaps it was because he was thinking of Mu Shaowu, but when Feng Que looked at the woman in the private room who was an unfamiliar woman but was excessively beautiful, he vaguely felt that she looked somewhat like Mu Shaowu.
But that's not the point. The point is...
Feng Que looked at the child sitting among the handsome man and beautiful woman. The child was young but very beautiful, with fair skin and bright, clear eyes. He didn't flinch or avoid Feng Que's gaze; instead, he smiled with his eyes crinkling.
So cute.
Feng Que thought that it was only because the young actors for his new play had been cast that he wanted to ask them if they wanted to act.
"Xiao Que, let me introduce you," Feng Que's cousin said.
"This is Mr. Li, the CEO of Xingli Entertainment."
Li Jing nodded and smiled at him.
Feng Que smiled as well.
"This is Shao Ting, a popular idol singer."
Mu Shaoting smiled politely.
Feng Que politely returned her a smile.
Shao Ting not only looks like him, but his name is also somewhat similar to Mu Shaowu's.
"this……"
Feng Que's cousin was about to introduce her when Ye Qingxi spoke first: "The waters of the Al River flow over your ankles, carrying my longing into my very bones. Autumn leaves fall on your shoulders, turning into withered leaf butterflies that fly through my heart. You should know that I came here today to see you."
Feng Que was surprised; this was a line from his first movie.
"Have you seen my movies?"
Ye Qingxi smiled and stood up. "Uncle Feng Que, let's talk in private."
interesting.
Feng Que smiled slowly, "Alright."
