Xiao Jingming followed behind Guan Xi and saw her hand the script to his uncle.
"Little Aunt, you're going to be an actress?" he asked in surprise.
Guan Xi nodded. "Yes, Young Master Xiao, acting is my dream. It's not easy to get an audition for this show so if I get the role, you have to support me more."
She sounded like a simple young, hard-working girl!
Xiao Jingming pursed her lips.
'An audition, huh?'
He wasn't worried that she's not going to make it through.
His aunt was a great actress and he had seen that first hand.
What surprised him was that his uncle agreed to it.
The entertainment industry was a big mess.
Sure, it was very luxurious. The celebrities are all beautiful, loved, wealthy, and lived a very glamorous life.
However, this circle was also as corrupt and dirty as it was bright and beautiful on the surface.
Orgies, drugs, gambling, and various other forms of promiscuity raged from behind the scenes.
Aristocratic families rarely go into this industry.
The entertainment circle was not befitting of their status.
Hell, for a playboy like Xiao Jingming, he could call a few small celebrity agencies and get some beautiful and popular starlets in minutes.
Why would his uncle allow his aunt to join this industry?
"Aunt, I don't think entering the entertainment industry is such a good idea," he told her, discreetly gesturing to Xiao Jiuyan.
Guan Xi understood what he was worried about and shook her head. "Young Master Xiao, I want to do this and Master Jiu has already agreed."
'Oh.'
Well, it turned out that he was worried for nothing.
He thought his uncle would be angry.
It didn't matter if the industry was chaotic. He knew that with his uncle protecting her, nothing would happen.
Xiao Jingming glanced at Guan Xi.
Besides, with his aunt's temper, she would never be at a disadvantage.
Xiao Jiuyan took Guan Xi's script and casually flipped through it. After a short while, he looked at her and asked lightly, "Do you want me to help with the audition?"
"No, no, no!"
Guan Xi quickly shook her head. She didn't want a handout like that. She had to rely on her talent. "I just wanted to tell you that the company has arranged an acting coach for me to help me prepare for the audition. I'm going over there tomorrow so I might get home a little late."
She paused and asked carefully, "Is that okay?"
"What time?"
"Uhm... around 10-12 PM?"
Xiao Jiuyan frowned slightly. "That is too late. I'll send someone to pick you up."
'Sh*t!'
She was not going to have lessons tomorrow! If her husband sends someone to pick her up, her lie would be exposed!
She bit her lips and said softly, "There's no need, Master Jiu. It's too troublesome. The company will arrange my transportation home."
"Either I send someone to pick you up, or I send that teacher to my house."
Xiao Jiuyan's voice booked no room for argument. "Your choice."
'D*mn it!'
Both of the choices were inconvenient for her!
Her eyes darted around and an idea formed in her head. She proposed, "Well, Master Jiu, can you just send Young Master Xiao to pick me up?"
Xiao Jiuyan's eyes narrowed and his sharp glance shifted to Xiao Jingming.
