“Okay.”
Song Ci had no objections.
Chu Yi felt really happy. He also invited his managers over.
“I still have to thank Brother Yang. He was the one who informed Brother Chen about this role. Then, Brother Chen told me the details. I’m glad to have this opportunity.”
Chu Yi talked a lot because of the rush of dopamine.
“It’s all thanks to your own capabilities. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen you,” said Yang Haoran while waving his hand.
Brother Chen was a man in his thirties. He wore a pair of glasses.
“Brother Yang is right. Believe in yourself. I have confidence in you too.”
Those words made Chu Yi a little embarrassed.
“Thank you for giving me a chance.”
Song Ci smiled, feeling relieved. Chu Yi was talented and hardworking. He just lacked opportunities. Hence, she understood his excitement.
“Song Ci, let’s toast. Everything was possible because of you.”
Song Ci did not decline and they clinked glasses together.
“Brother Chu, don’t forget me once you’ve become famous. Haha!”
Chu Yi was amused by Song Ci’s words.
“I’m only the fourth female lead.”
Song Ci put down her cup.
“Who knows how things will turn out.”
The group chatted and laughed while eating hot pot.
After the meal, Song Ci left. However, the three men continued to drink.
A few days later, another trailer pertaining to “Rushing For Ten Years” was released. The scenes were beautiful and well-edited. It boosted the cast members’ popularity.
The fans were pleased and Song Ci was in a good mood.
…
Lu Suo sat on the edge of his bed while holding his phone. He had just finished a call from Lu Hongyong. Like before, Lu Hongyong told Lu Suo to be careful of Lu Gan and Song Ci. It was important to protect his parents’ inheritance.
The phone call ruined Lu Suo’s mood. He wanted to glue Lu Hongyong’s mouth up.
Song Yujin was beside him, sitting crossed-legged.
“You still won’t tell your uncle?”
Lu Suo immediately shook his head.
Song Yujin was very worried, but he did not continue to persuade Lu Suo. Instead, he tried to think of another solution.
“If he drinks glue, it’ll shut his mouth, right?”
“Stop those thoughts.”
Lu Suo snorted.
“He wants me to hate you as well. Why are you defending him?”
Song Yujin replied calmly, “An old man like him won’t live for much longer. Moreover, he’s still your grandfather.”
Lu Suo said in a soft voice, “That doesn’t matter. I only care about my uncle.”
Song Yujin stopped talking.
When Lu Suo was taking his afternoon nap, Song Yujin headed to Lu Gan’s room. After struggling for a while, he finally knocked on the door and entered.
Lu Gan smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I want to borrow a book.”
“Which book?”
“Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.”
“Your sister bought that book for you, didn’t she?”
Lu Gan was confused.
“Yes, but I can’t find it. Brother-in-law, do you have that book?”
Lu Gan shook his head.
“I’ll buy another one. It’ll arrive tomorrow.”
Lu Gan was an adult. He did not read fairy tales anymore.
Song Yujin thought for a moment before asking, “Have you heard of ‘The Ugly Duckling’?”
Lu Gan nodded.
Song Yujin asked again, “Have you read the story?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’re aware that Mother Duck doesn’t like the Ugly Duckling, right?”
“Really?”
Lu Gan smiled.
Song Yujin continued, “Mother Duck also drove the Ugly Duckling away. In other words, not all parents would treat their children well. However, it’s not the Ugly Duckling’s fault. In the end, it even turned into a beautiful swan!”
