“The look that she gave me… it wouldn’t go wrong.”
It was a look of deep-felt hatred toward her.
The protagonist hastily verified with a member from the production team, “Is Ji Yan originally Yan Bingqing?”
“Yan Bingqing? That’s impossible.” The staff opened his eyes wide and shook his head vigorously.
Yun Shishi was surprised to hear that. “She’s not?”
“Even though I also find the two of them looking alike, Ji Yan really isn’t Yan Bingqing. The latter was banned, remember? I think this Ji Yan went under the knife to make herself look like Yan Bingqing, but this is only a guess. Look, even her stage name has the word ‘Yan’ in it.” After saying this, the staff inched closer to the actress and whispered, “My guess is,that Ji Yan had reconstructive surgery to look like the former star and then managed to hook a rich man thereafter. I was told that she didn’t even need to go for an audition to snag this supporting role! The newbies in this age are really something else!”
Even Hua Jin was surprised to hear that the newbie was not the former actress. “Isn’t that girl Yan Bingqing?”
The staff nodded and commented offhandedly, “Yes. If she’s really the star, then she must be crazy to undergo cosmetic surgery with her pretty face!”
“Why isn’t that possible?” The actor was unconvinced. “Their profiles are very alike.”
The staff merely laughed and then gave a soft sigh. “Don’t underestimate the power of cosmetic surgery!” After saying that, he quickly excused himself to continue with his work.
Both artists exchanged glances.
…
After the kickoff ceremony, Hua Jin pestered Yun Shishi to play mahjong.
“Let’s go, Shishi! We’ll have a game of mahjong!”
The actress was puzzled. “Why are you so energetic today?”
“Don’t you like mahjong?”
“Nope.” She formed a big ‘X’ with her forearms. “I refuse to gamble.”
“We won’t play with real bets.”
“Then, who else can you find besides the two of us?”
Her question stumped the idol for good this time.
“Qin Zhou!”
“I’m not playing!”
When the idol called the agent and expressed his intention, the rejection was short and swift. “I have no interest in mahjong.”
“Qin Zhou, Your Royal Highness…”
Du du du du…
What greeted the actor was the tone of a hung-up call.
The man frowned, looking crestfallen, as he clenched the phone in his hand.
The actress patted his back sympathetically. “Let’s go home.”
“Don’t want to!” exclaimed the man. “Let’s go to your place to play mahjong, instead.”
This was when something struck him hard as he asked with a horrified look on his face, “Erm… Is the great demon king at your place?”
“What great demon king?”
“I-I’m referring to… your brother…” stammered the idol nervously.
Yun Shishi tried to suppress her laughter as she recalled how the two men had received awkward punishment after losing a card game on the eve of the Chinese New Year.
It seemed that the actor had acquired an inherent fear toward her brother at this point.
She reckoned that Hua Jin was a true demon king before she saw the true colors of her biological brother. As it turned out, the idol was completely subdued by her sibling.
Gong Jie was indeed the real demon king around.
Finally, the actress conceded after relentless pestering from the actor. When the two of them reached Xiangti Walk, they found the two kiddos at home without their father. He had yet to reach home.
The woman questioned her two sons with a brow raised. “Has school started yet?”
“Stupid mommy, didn’t we already inform you that school will reopen next Monday?”
“That’s right. This means that we’re four days away from school reopening.”
“Yeah.”
Youyou looked at the figure behind his mother, and upon seeing that the person was the actor, he greeted the man with a cheery beam, “Brother Hua Jin, are you here to play as well?”
