Gu Chenming thought to himself that if he really couldn't persuade them, he might as well just add fuel to the fire.
“An Ling,” Gu Chenming’s voice turned serious, “I’ve said it before, you need to change your spoiled princess attitude. In the end, you’re just afraid that she will steal the An family’s affection for you.”
"Qiu Nian has only recently been recognized by the An family, so it's normal for her uncle and aunt to take extra care of her. After all, she is their biological daughter. Why do you have to compare yourself to her in everything?"
[Fine, fine, I've acted this far and you're still not satisfied, huh? You want to add fuel to the fire?]
"Who's afraid of her!" Although she thought to herself, An Ling pretended to be angry. "I'm afraid of her? Don't be ridiculous."
"And you and Qiu Nian have only known each other for a short time, yet you're already speaking up for her? Tell me! Did you two develop feelings for each other while filming?"
“Don’t be so unreasonable,” Gu Chenming said, deliberately sounding tired. “It was just normal contact during filming. I’ve found that Qiu Nian’s personality is much better than yours, and she’s much more sensible. She didn’t want to compete with you at all, so don’t deliberately make things difficult for her.”
[I think you really want me to make things difficult for her. Only a fool would fall for such a cheap trick.]
"I deliberately went against her? Are you kidding me? Who does she think she is?" An Ling tried her best to convey her exasperation through her tone. "What gives you the right to say that about me? And what gives you the right to side with her like this!"
[And don't act like you're really close to Qiu Nian. Qiu Nian reports to me every day that she absolutely hasn't spoken a single word to you outside of work. I don't know what kind of image I have in her eyes...]
After thinking it over, it's all Gu Chenming's fault!
"I'm just telling the truth."
Gu Chenming felt that the method of using provocation should be taken slowly, and today's approach was about right.
"Xiaoling, you're too agitated right now. Let's talk again when you've calmed down."
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
[Pah! How dare they hang up on me!]
[Hehe, luckily I memorized some lines from the villainous female supporting character beforehand, and also crammed on the TV series "The Real and Fake Heiresses," so there wasn't a single scene I couldn't handle.]
An Ling put her phone away, very satisfied with her acting skills, and even hummed a little tune, until she met An Luo's dumbfounded gaze.
Anling: ...
How embarrassing...
Is it too late to tell Anluo that I have a split personality?
While inwardly complaining, An Ling pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you looking at me? Let's eat."
"Oh, oh." Anluo quickly buried his head in his food, afraid that he would burst out laughing if he ate even a moment later.
They started filming on their second day in Hecheng, at the beach. The whole filming process went smoothly, and they even finished early and returned to the hotel.
But at the hotel, An Ling saw an unexpected person—Zhuang Yi.
As soon as An Ling and the others entered the hotel, they saw Zhuang Yi walking towards the entrance, presumably preparing to leave. However, the expression on his face looked very cold, quite different from what An Ling had seen before.
There were many people on An Ling's side, so Zhuang Yi didn't notice her. It was An Ling who saw her first.
But if you see them, you should at least say hello.
"Uncle Zhuang?" An Ling called out to him in surprise.
Zhuang Yi turned around sharply upon hearing the sound, and his expression immediately changed upon seeing An Ling.
From his cold demeanor just moments before to the sudden appearance of a gentle smile, one might almost think that the cold face they had just seen was an illusion.
"Xiao Ling?" Zhuang Yi was also surprised. "Xiao Luo is here too?"
"Hello, Uncle Zhuang," Anluo greeted politely.
"Hello, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. Judging from your appearance, are you here for work?"
“Yes, where’s Uncle Zhuang? Weren’t you in Beijing just a few days ago?” An Ling asked.
"Oh, I'm in the same boat as you, I also have some work to take care of right now," Zhuang Yi said regretfully with an apologetic expression. "Really, it's so rare to run into you. If I had time, I should have treated you to a meal, but I'm just too busy today. How many days are you staying in Hecheng? If you're still here tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal."
“It’s alright, Uncle Zhuang, we’re leaving tomorrow,” An Ling replied. “Don’t worry about us, go ahead and do your work. We’re going to rest too.”
"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. You must be tired after you just finished work." Zhuang Yi didn't insist any further, said goodbye to An Ling and An Luo, and turned to leave.
An Ling watched Zhuang Yi's retreating figure, feeling that something was amiss.
If she wasn't mistaken, Zhuang Yi's first reaction upon seeing her after she called out "Uncle Zhuang" was panic. Even if encountering her and An Luo here was indeed unexpected, it shouldn't have caused him to panic.
Although the initial panic was quickly replaced by a smile, An Ling, having been an actress for so many years, knew that observing people's expressions was a skill she was proficient in. She felt that her judgment was probably correct; Zhuang Yi had indeed panicked because he saw them.
"Sister, let's go." Anluo didn't know why Anling was standing still, so she could only remind her.
"Okay." An Ling snapped out of her daze and decided to investigate further while continuing forward.
Uncle Zhuang's expression just now was definitely off.
[Anyway, even if I find out some of his little secrets, it won't matter, I just won't tell anyone, right?]
Anluo:......
He's listening.
Anluo and Zhuang Yi had only met once in Beijing. He didn't know what kind of person Zhuang Yi was at all, so he wasn't as perceptive as Anling and didn't know how Anling could tell that something was wrong.
But you might as well listen to these little secrets.
He was waiting for An Ling to speak when he noticed that An Ling suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"sister?"
An Ling turned around abruptly and saw Zhuang Yi just exiting through the hotel's revolving door.
She took off running towards the gate, but stopped abruptly after running for a while.
Anluo, puzzled, rushed over and found Anling staring in the direction of the gate with a look of horror on her face. Following her gaze, Anluo could only see Zhuang Yi getting into a car.
He asked with great concern:
"Sis, what's wrong? What did you see? Or do you have something to say to Uncle Zhuang?"
An Ling acted as if she hadn't heard him, still staring in the direction of the gate, watching the car drive away.
No, even if I catch up now, there's nothing I can do. Zhuang Yi definitely won't admit it.
I need to tell my aunt quickly that Zhuang Yi has actually found Uncle Wei!
No! It's not already!
[It was ten years ago! He found the person ten years ago!]
