Without further ado, Liang Yin turned around and returned to her seat. At that point, Qin Zhou had already arrived. Liang Yin sat down slowly. When she saw Qin Zhou, she put aside her unhappiness and asked him, “Why are you so late?”
“You dare criticize Qin Zhou!” Hua Jin grumbled, “I thought you went to the restroom? What took you so long?”
As he spoke, Hua Jin saw from the corner of his eye that Li Jing had also returned to her seat nearby with a gloomy expression. He couldn’t help feeling a little suspicious. Seeing that Li Jing had also walked over from the restroom, he asked Liang Yin, “Was she in the restroom too just then?”
“Uh huh.”
“She… didn’t make things difficult for you or anything, did she?” the actor probed, concerned.
Liang Yin immediately smiled. “She knows that I’m Qin Zhou’s artiste and didn’t dare to make things too difficult for me.”
“Well, well, well, well,” the actor replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Zhou figured out what had gone on. Li Jing happened to run into Liang Yin here. She knew about Liang Yin and also knew that Liang Yin had replaced her for the Kokakuchō role.
Having already lost such an important role was enough for Li Jing to feel depressed. It was inevitable that she would suspect the methods Liang Yin had used in order to secure this role.
Qin Zhou made a mental note to deal with this stumbling block later. Although Li Jing was not an important figure, she simply had to push her weight a little.
Liang Yin had yet to officially debut. These thorns in the flesh had to be thoroughly dealt with.
“Let’s eat!” Qin Zhou said.
Liang Yin and Hua Jin exchanged a glance and dug in.
As he ate, Qin Zhou asked, “The little princess’ birthday is just around the corner. Have you decided what to give her?”
Hua Jin slapped his forehead, saying, “I haven’t bought anything. I don’t know what to buy!”
Soon, it would be Yueyao’s third birthday. It was the hardest thing to think of a present for this child.
Giving her jewelry was too tacky. After all, she was a three-year-old child. Gold, silver, and jewelry were more commonly gifts from the older generation. Children liked childish items for sure, but this was the hardest thing to think of.
Building blocks?
The Mu family’s nursery room was filled with the most popular toys. One would only have to remember the position held by Yueyao’s elder brother. He was the chairman of Lezhi Holdings. It could be said that all of Yueyao’s childhood toys were contracted by Youyou. One couldn’t possibly give her toys.
“Well then…” Hua Jin probed his agent, “what are you planning to send?”
“I’ve already ordered a BJD doll a year in advance. It’s custom-made according to Yueyao’s image.”
The actor was speechless.
“But it must be expensive, right?”
“Not really. It’s only 300,000.”
“…”
And that was considered “inexpensive”? Hua Jin’s lips twitched.
This Qin Zhou was too cunning. He had actually started planning this year’s birthday gift a year in advance. Now Hua Jin started worrying. For a moment he had no idea what to give her. Liang Yin was even more flustered.
A few hundred thousand was considered inexpensive? Poverty limited her imagination.
The actor said, “Liang Yin, let me ask you something.”
“What?”
“What gifts did you hope to receive most when you were a child?”
When Liang Yin heard this, her expression became a little uncomfortable.
“I never celebrated my birthday as a child.”
“How so?”
“Because…” Liang Yin laughed dryly. “No one ever remembered my birthday. As time passed, I also felt that there was no need to celebrate my birthday.”
So she’d never received any birthday presents.
