Yuli knew what Yang Jie was worried about. Although she played a minor role as a third-tier actress last time, Yuli had beaten up the female lead on set and was always late for filming, which had offended everyone in the crew.
After the online criticism had finally died down, if she were to join another crew, all the efforts she had made so far would be in vain.
"If you come across a suitable script, you must show it to me first and not make any decisions on your own," Yuli knew very well what she had done before. She had no choice but to follow her character's personality. Originally, she had planned to wash away her past after divorcing Ren Jingchen. But now, she couldn't afford to wait any longer, as a good work of art would take at least half a year to film, and she didn't want to waste any more time.
[System: Ding--Warning! Warning! The host must follow the character's personality. A vicious supporting actress will not focus on work.]
"Hey! Are you kidding me? Can you tell me why Ren Jingchen suddenly changed his mind about the divorce? It must be a problem with your system," Yuli retorted.
[System: Currently under inspection. Please be patient, host.]
"You're wasting my time! How can I not be impatient?" Yuli complained.
[System: ...]
"By the way, I heard that Yumo is going to film a movie directed by Zhao Jiakui. She's really talented," Yang Jie said casually. "If everything goes well, she should win an award, and her position in the entertainment industry will only be more solidified."
"Hmm? What movie?" Yu Li raised an eyebrow. Since the vicious supporting actress didn't value her work, she might as well do what a vicious supporting actress should do and steal her role!
"Years."
"I want to try."
"Pfft—cough cough." Yang Jie sprayed a mouthful of water and started coughing violently. When the coughing subsided, she asked, "What are you doing? Are you interested in this script? Don't even think about it. I heard that Yu Mo'er has already been chosen!"
And with Yu Li's reputation in the industry, how could Director Zhao agree to let her be the female lead?
"Oh, come on. You just said it was a rumor. There's been no official announcement. Help me fight for it." Even if it was official, Yu Li had a way to push people out!
Yu, the great actress, was that confident!
Yang Jie nodded absentmindedly. "I'll see what I can do."For the next few days, there was no news. Yu Li focused on helping her grandfather pick out gifts. When Ren Jingchen came home, he saw Yu Li squatting in front of the safe, rummaging through something.
He didn't want to pay attention to her, but then he heard that familiar voice again.
"Hmm? This blue and white porcelain vase seems expensive. Even if I give it to that old man, he'll definitely turn around and give it to Yu Mo'er. Hmph, not giving it."
"A red jade Buddha amulet?... Hmm, seems to be on par with the vase. Not giving it."
"This jade Bodhisattva statue... too expensive. Not giving it."
"... "
Ren Jingchen's eerie gaze fell on Yu Li. When did this woman become so shabby-looking?
"Sigh, rich men are really stingy. They don't even want to give away a single item," she muttered."Honey, you're back," Yu Li turned around and greeted Ren Jingchen with a bright smile on her face.
Hypocrite! Ren Jingchen snorted coldly and turned his head away without saying a word. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
Yu Li ran up to Ren Jingchen and spoke in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandpa is turning seventy tomorrow. Will you come with me to celebrate?"
Ren Jingchen nodded, "Mm," of course he would go to celebrate Yu's grandfather's birthday.
"Hmph, I knew you would go. You just want to meet your white moonlight," the voice in his head sneered.
Ren Jingchen's face darkened.
"What gift should we prepare for him?" Yu Li asked, tugging at Ren Jingchen's arm with a joyful expression on her face.
"I have a blue and white porcelain vase in my study safe," Ren Jingchen said casually as he pulled his arm away from Yu Li's grasp and pushed her wheelchair into the room. The voice in his head spoke again.
"Pah! I bet you want to give away all the good things in your house to your white moonlight before the divorce and transfer your assets, don't you?"
"Clack," the wheelchair handle broke.
The next day, Yu Li was awakened by a series of urgent calls from Fang Jiu, reminding her to come early to the family banquet and not to be late, as it would be impolite to do so. Yu Li groggily agreed and as she got up from her bed, she received a notification from the system in her head.
"Thud--" Yu Li fell back onto the bed and continued sleeping.
Ren Jingchen, who was already dressed in the living room downstairs, looked at the clock on the wall and his eyes darkened.
By the time Yu Li came down, Ren Jingchen had been waiting for her for two hours."Good morning, hubby~" Yu Li yawned and was about to sit down at the dining table when Ren Jingchen had someone drag her into the car.
"Hey, hey, hey? Hubby, what are you doing?"
'What a despicable male lead. He's so rude to the female lead. He'll never find a wife in his lifetime!'
Ren Jingchen sneered, almost squeezing the words out of his teeth, "Madam, we're already late!"
Yu Li: "..."
'Oh no! The male lead is so scary. Is he going to kill me with a knife?'
Ren Jingchen: "...Drive."
The atmosphere in the living room of the Yu family's old mansion became completely tense with the arrival of Yu Li and Ren Jingchen. Sitting in the main seat, Yu Lao Ye's face was gloomy as he snorted from his nose, "It's not easy for Miss Yu to come and celebrate my seventieth birthday!"Yu Li's gaze swept around the living room. Apart from Yu Lao Ye, Fang Jiu and Yu Guanghua, as well as Yu Mo'er, had already arrived.
"Dad, there was traffic on the way, so A Li was late." Fang Jiu smiled apologetically, constantly making eye contact with Yu Li, indicating that she should apologize to Grandpa and let the matter pass.
"Traffic jam? Can you even use such a childish excuse?" Grandpa Yu pointed at Fang Jiu's nose and scolded him, "This is what they call the fish rots from the head down. As the wife of the Yu family, you can't even teach your own daughter properly. It's a shame for our Yu family."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Yu Guanghua naturally couldn't bear to see his wife being scolded and spoke up in defense, "A-Li shouldn't have been late today, but she's still a child. Can't you just teach her properly?"
"You bastard!" Grandpa Yu looked at his son defending Fang Jiu and her daughter everywhere, raised his hand and slammed the table, his chest heaving up and down violently,showing that he was definitely very angry.
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Yu Mo'er looked at Yu Li and then fixed her gaze on Ren Jingchen, pursed her lips, "Maybe Jingchen had some work to do, so they were delayed!"
Seeing his precious granddaughter pleading, Grandpa Yu's anger instantly subsided by half, and he snorted lightly, "Mo'er is still sensible, much better than you useless people who don't know how to fight!"
"Grandpa, A-Li..." Yu Li sighed helplessly in her heart, she wasn't afraid of being scolded, but she couldn't let Fang Jiu be scolded with her.
