18. Chapter 18: 1/3 Supporting Role
On a rainy afternoon, Yang Qinglan met her eldest grandson, Chengyao.
Although the two brothers look very similar, unlike his brother Changsun Chengying, who is sharp from time to time, the eldest grandson Chengying looks much gentler, even if he doesn't smile, he gives people a feeling of a humble gentleman, which makes people involuntarily let go of their defenses.
If it weren't for the empty progress bar on his head, she would have been happy to make such a friend.
In the morning, she just played the role of a female general who went into battle to kill the enemy, and she didn't have a good rest, and even her lunch was eaten in the nanny's car, and Yang Qinglan, who was sitting opposite the eldest grandson Chengyao, was full of evil spirits, which was in obvious contrast with him.
"So, what do you think about the marriage contract?" Because she was anxious to rest, Yang Qinglan didn't plan to go around the bend and balabala with him too much, so she hit a straight ball as soon as she sat down.
Looking at this capable woman who was not similar to the arrogant and pampered appearance in his impression, the eldest grandson Chengyao felt for a moment that the person in front of him might be a stand-in for the Qiu family.
Or was that the one used to be a stand-in?
"My opinion...... I don't think there is any contradiction between the two of us, it is in the interests of both families to be together, and engagement is not marriage, so you might as well give it a try. β
"Give it a try?" Yang Qinglan sneered, reached out and picked up the black tea on the table and poured it, her movements were bold enough to scare the real ladies to death, "I have limited time, please be honest and don't waste everyone's time." β
The eldest grandson Cheng Yao smiled, looking like a harmless little fox, and even the action of reaching out and touching the back of his neck became cute.
"I'm very honest." He smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Compared with my eldest brother, I have been the neglected one since I was a child, obviously I am a brother, but I am like an adopted child, for which I also deliberately found someone to do a paternity test, of course, this is what I did when I was in junior high school, and I was still naΓ―ve at that time." β
"So?" Yang Qinglan leaned back and found a comfortable position to nest in the soft single sofa, which looked much more lazy than just now.
"So I like to find my brother unpleasant whenever I have the opportunity, don't you know, in fact, I put forward the idea of getting engaged to you instead of my brother, and my dad agreed without even thinking about it."
The corners of Yang Qinglan's mouth hooked: "Then?" Do you want to say that this is a good chance for me to get revenge on your brother? β
"Isn't it?"
"Hehe, in the end, it is the young master of the eldest grandson's family, and his style of doing things is the same as your brother." Yang Qinglan's face was full of ridicule, "Why do you think I will want to take revenge on your brother?" β
"......" The eldest grandson Cheng Yao showed a look of confusion on his face.
"I, Qiu Xuyao, am the eldest lady of the Qiu family, the first heir in line of righteousness, although the eldest grandson Chengying is the eldest son of the eldest grandson family, but the heir is ranked third, even if I want to do something, the target will only be your two uncles who are in the front line, the eldest grandson Chengying? Heh, which onion is he? β
"But he ......"
"He was my fiancΓ© before?" Yang Qinglan spread her hands, "That's right, this is a fact, it was indeed me who insisted on marrying him at the beginning, who made him look good, but I am such a superficial person." β
"......" The eldest grandson Cheng Yao didn't know what to say, so he just sat there and listened, and the smile that was full of confidence just now had faded a lot.
"Now I still like his face, but it's a pity that he is too scumbag, no matter how good-looking he is, it is useless, why bother hanging on him? It is enough to do the self-lowering thing once. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So you see, not only will I not get anything from being engaged to you, but I will also have to meet people who don't want to cross paths again, and I will lose money in business, and I will do it for you?"
The eldest grandson Chengyao was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You and Qiu Xuyao, whom I knew before, are simply two people."
Yang Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "Have we ever met?" β
What she said was true, because Qiu Xuyao did not have much contact with the eldest grandson Cheng Yao in the past, although they had known each other since childhood, they were limited to knowing that there was such a person as the other party, and the number of meetings was only a handful, and there was not even a slightly in-depth conversation.
Qiu Xuyao's impression of the eldest grandson Cheng Ying is only "the younger brother of the eldest grandson Cheng Ying, the same year as me", and the impression of the eldest grandson Cheng Ying on Qiu Xuyao comes from the relay of the eldest grandson Cheng Ying and the people around her.
Sure enough, hearing her ask, the eldest grandson Chengyao thought about it carefully, and shook his head with a strange face: "Indeed...... I didn't know it. β
Seeing that the progress bar above the eldest grandson Chengyu's head slowly climbed to the 70% position as the conversation progressed, Yang Qinglan's mood improved a lot, and even the tone of his voice softened a lot: "So don't make any decisions about me, I have nothing to say to someone who has no friendship, let alone help, please go back." β
After saying that, Yang Qinglan stood up and prepared to leave.
She still has a night scene on the crew's side in the evening, and since she has no time to rest, the sooner she goes back, the more time she has to prepare.
Recently, the whole crew has been like a chicken blood, not only her acting skills often break out like a movie queen, but all the leading actors are playing at a super level, which makes Director Luo excitedly come up with more ideas to toss them, and even the aunt who sweeps the floor of the crew feels as if she is in hell.
The current "Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" basically has nothing to do with the original script, and all the plots have been changed beyond recognition, but Yang Qinglan knows very well that such a change is good, maybe this movie can shock the world.
The first script can shock the world, and her screenwriting level is really high, hahaha.
Just as she was thinking about the movie and walked out of the cafΓ© and was about to get into the nanny car, the voice of the eldest grandson Cheng Yao came from behind her.
"Wait a minute!"
Turning around, a bright 100% attracted all of Yang Qinglan's attention.
Ho, so fast? Looks like I'm pretty good at my business.
"Anything else?"
"I still insist on making a marriage contract, but the purpose is not to make my brother unhappy, but to really fall in love with you, don't you think about it?"
Yang Qinglan used "Are you kidding me?" He looked at him and didn't reply.
The eldest grandson Cheng Ying deliberately showed a business-style smile, and for a moment he looked the same as the eldest grandson Cheng Ying: "Actually, my face is also very good-looking, isn't it, it conforms to your aesthetics, right?" β
"......" was dizzy by this smile, and Yang Qinglan's face control attribute immediately occupied the high ground of her mind, and she almost relented and agreed, but in the end, she was stopped by reason in her throat and avoided losing face.
keenly caught her vacillation, and the eldest grandson Cheng Yao felt funny in his heart.
He also thought that it was just an excuse for her to say that she liked the big brother's face before, who knew it was true, he just imitated the usual expression of the eldest brother a little, and the woman who was like a kaolin flower just now actually showed a demeanor, this contrast, really hit his cuteness.
What if you want to get your hands on her more and more?
But the identity gap is indeed a defect that cannot be ignored, otherwise he would try to mention his heir in order? Or it's not bad to directly use some means to pull the uncle down from the position of the first heir.
Just as he began to diverge his mind and fantasize about the future, "Qiu Xuyao" spoke: "Let's talk about it when you can bring me enough benefits, I won't be stupid for the second time because of a face." β
With that, she got into the nanny car and closed the door, cutting off his view.
The car drove away quickly, and the eldest grandson Chengyu stayed in place with a thoughtful expression, and the progress bar, which only Yang Qinglan could see, quietly broke through 100% at the moment and became 113%.
When Yang Qinglan returned to the set, she happened to catch up with the crew for dinner, and Qing Mengli, who had just finished the scene in the afternoon, was familiar with the newly changed script while nibbling an apple for dinner, and when she saw her coming, she beckoned to her.
"Xu Yao, Director Luo has changed the script again, and your night scene has changed significantly, so let's hurry up and take a look."
Changed the script again!
Yang Qinglan, who thought she could take time to rest for two minutes, could only wail to express her dissatisfaction, but she still had to obediently run to get the new script.
In the script preparation room, she met Director Luo.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Robert!"
"Xu Yao is here, we just happened to talk about your play, there are new changes just now, you see if you can act, if you can't act, we will change it."
ββ¦β¦β
"Hahaha, don't wrinkle your nose, it's going to be ugly."
"Humph!"
picked up the newly printed and still hot script, Yang Qinglan probably flipped through it, and found that the changes were indeed very big, but it was not impossible to challenge, so she nodded and took it, and was about to go out to familiarize herself with the script, when she was stopped by Director Luo.
"I heard that you have been writing a new script recently, preparing to hit next year's actress?"
Yang Qinglan's movements froze: "Where did Uncle Rob hear about it?" β
"Yun Zhuo told me, he asked me to take the time to guide you."
ββ¦β¦ Hehe...... It's the idea. β
"I've read the scripts you've written recently, and they're all good!"
it! I obviously kept them secret, where did Qiu Yunzhuo get them?!
ββ¦β¦ Hehe. Yang Qinglan could only laugh dryly.
Director Luo didn't seem to notice her embarrassment at all, so he took out a script that he didn't know when it was printed out and there were a lot of annotations on it, and handed it over.
"If you don't have a new work for the time being, I'm most optimistic about this one, if you want to shoot, I want to be a director, can you?"
Director Luo is actually recommending himself?! What kind of script is this?
The faces of the people present suddenly changed, and they looked at the script as if a flower had grown on it.
Under everyone's gaze, Yang Qinglan took the script and looked at it, and was immediately scorched by the thunder.
The title of the play is "Princess Γ 2".
Synopsis: During the multinational scuffle, the princesses of two neighboring countries fell in love with each other and then had various grievances.
Yang Qinglan swore that this script was just something she wrote out of her brain at that time, and by looking at the name, you can know how perfunctory she was at that time, and after writing it, she didn't even change it and threw it into the corner of the computer, but she didn't expect it to be turned out by Qiu Yunzhuo and sent it to Director Luo!
Can she say that she is worthy of being a big director who has won awards and has a soft hand, and her vision for selecting scripts is so unique......
Oh no, the top priority is to get back this field, Qiu Yunzhuo has gone too far this time, even if it is his own daughter, she has hidden/private rights, what's the matter if she turns over her computer and passes things to others without saying a word?!
