Su Ran clutched her phone tightly.
Even if she came back, the entire crew would distance themselves from her. Even her agent felt embarrassed and abandoned her here, leaving her alone. Her assistant was busy dealing with the public opinion surrounding her ‘love affair’ and had no time to spend with her.
How ironic.
Such a big incident occurred, and the company didn’t even engage in public relations; they just let the news spread.
“Niao Niao, eat a little more. I made some sweet and sour pork. Try it.”
“Mom… I really can’t eat anymore. Stop feeding me.”
“Is it not tasty? Let me try.”
The sound of Jiang Leyi and Mrs. Zhou’s conversation could be heard from a distance.
Jiang Leyi looked helpless, but not impatient.
Mrs. Zhou savoured the food with a frown, devouring it completely before relaxing her brow and replying, “I think it’s fine. Are you coming home for dinner tonight, Niao Niao? Your father and I are home.”
“Okay.”
The two people exchanged warm, calm words.
Su Ran felt a pang of emptiness within her.
She and her biological mother had endured a period of starvation and cold. Later, her mother earned a small fortune and raised her in a small town, but the little money she earned was barely enough to get by. Her life was always about struggling for money, and she never had a good day.
Her mother died of illness without ever mentioning anything about her family. She didn’t even know that her maternal grandmother and uncle existed.
And now, because her grandmother’s family had gone to her biological father to extort money, her existence had been exposed, and even now her nominal father was still looking for her.
Would she marry into an arranged marriage to fill that hole?
Or would she marry a man over fifty as his second wife?
She didn’t want to…
She thought of Zhou Yanbo’s words.
What dignity could someone like her have?
They would only bully her even more.
She closed her eyes briefly, then finally messaged Zhou Yanbai, agreeing to his proposal on the condition that he remove the trending topic about her and shut the paparazzi up.
Within half an hour, all the discussion about the matter had vanished without a trace.
And the time Yuan Feng had given her was almost up.
After Mrs. Zhou left, Su Ran approached and said, “Leyi, are you free tonight? Let’s go over the script.”
Jiang Leyi looked her up and down, asking suspiciously, “Are you sure you can manage in this state?”
“It’s okay… What’s a little hardship for an actor?”
“Now you understand the hardship. I’ve never seen an actor use a stunt even for a fall scene.”
Director Wen interjected sarcastically from the side.
Su Ran pursed her lips and remained silent.
Director Wen felt that it was bad luck.
Anyway, after he finishes filming this movie, he will definitely never work with an unprofessional actress like Su Ran again!
He also had to tell his friends in the industry to avoid the problem, and to advise as many as he could!
“We’re all colleagues, so helping isn’t a big deal. Everyone has their downturns. Yi Yi, just help her rehearse her lines.” Song Shizhao’s voice suddenly boomed from the side.
Jiang Leyi didn’t particularly like her older cousin.
Seeing his gentle smile, she pursed her lips and said helplessly, “Alright, but I also have my own things to do, so I’m afraid I won’t have much time for you. Let’s try to get it done in one take, okay?”
Su Ran looked at Jiang Leyi gratefully, “Thank you, Leyi.”
Then she looked at Song Shizhao, who had inexplicably come to her aid, and gave him a gentle smile, “I also want to thank Actor Song.”
“You’re too polite.” Song Shizhao smiled.
“You need to keep up the good work and not fall too far behind in the schedule. Director Wen is getting a little unhappy.”
