“But I’m not your daughter. If your wife finds out that I’m a fake, it will definitely worsen her condition. I don’t think I can do this.”
Jiang Leyi felt sympathy, but she still retained her rationality.
Although the starting point was good, what if his wife realized that she wasn’t their daughter and became even more desperate?
Giving hope to someone was a difficult task for Jiang Leyi.
“You’re an actor. You’ll definitely be able to keep it a secret from her with your acting skills. Just keep her stable through this period. I’ll tell her the truth then. Don’t worry about it. Just pretend until you leave Hong Kong.” Zhou Zhenghui continued.
Jiang Leyi: “…”
She was a little torn.
She had seen that middle-aged woman before. After being pushed and falling by Zhou Yanbai, she was rushed to the hospital by the man before her.
Moreover, Zhou Zhenghui didn’t seem to be short of money. He appeared to be a well-known businessman in the local area, something that could be easily found out with a little inquiry. Jiang Leyi didn’t think that there was anything about her that was worth deceiving.
But now she was going to deceive another person with the man in front of her. She felt a little hesitant.
“I will bear all the consequences. If my wife unfortunately passes away, it’s not your fault. I can only say that her fate has come. I will pay you…” Zhou Zhenghui continued.
“I don’t need your answer right now. How about you go back and think about it for a night?”
He said, pushing the business card in his hand to Jiang Leyi again with a kind smile: “Whether you agree or not, I’ll wait for your reply.”
Jiang Leyi didn’t say anything, but still took the card.
The middle-aged man turned and left.
Jiang Leyi paused at the door for a moment.
“Leyi? Who was that person just now?”
Jiang Leyi was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Su Ran’s voice.
She lowered her hand and subconsciously hid the business card behind her.
“Nothing, just a stranger asking for directions.”
Su Ran had already seen the business card out of the corner of her eye, but was pretending not to know that she was lying. She didn’t expose her, giving her a faint smile, “Okay.”
Then, feeling guilty, she said, “I was a little nervous today and a bit afraid of the action scenes, so I’ve been delayed. How about I come to your room later and we go over our lines? I’ll be prepared tomorrow, so this won’t happen again.”
Jiang Leyi: “…”
She was somewhat speechless. Today’s scenes had pushed back all of Su Ran’s scenes, so they simply let her finish her scenes first. Due to time constraints, not many scenes were actually filmed.
Seeing Su Ran’s confident expression again, she couldn’t bear to dampen her spirits, so she said perfunctorily, “Come over after dinner. We’ll spend two hours together first.”
Su Ran’s beautiful face shone with excitement: “Thank you, Leyi.”
Jiang Leyi didn’t want to say anything more and strode inside.
The assistant was waiting for her at the elevator entrance. Seeing that she was late, the assistant asked with concern, “Yi Yi, why are you so late? Your sister has been resting in her room for a long time.”
“Something delayed me.”
She entered the elevator.
When they reached her floor, Jiang Leyi walked toward Jiang Nanshu’s room and instructed her assistant, “Go to my room and wait. Put the takeout in there later. I’ll come back to eat in a bit. Also, if Su Ran comes, tell her to wait a little while.”
“Oh, okay.” The assistant nodded.
Hearing Jiang Leyi mention Su Ran, she twitched her lips and whispered, “Yi Yi, don’t get too close to that Su Ran. I’m afraid your acting skills will be affected.”
Jiang Leyi chuckled and patted her shoulder, saying, “No, wait for me when we get back.”
