Actually, Lu Qianling was not a bad person by nature. It was just that she lacked some care and warmth, and had no one to guide her right direction.

Unfortunately, their mother’s education was too casual and had no effect on their growth.

Lu Qingye said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

“Don’t worry. An Eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. As long as I’m on duty, I won’t sit back and do nothing.”

Lu Qingye did not expect her to take the initiative to worry about his family’s matters.

Lu Qingye had just returned to his residence. Meng Chuyuan could still hear the sound of the door opening through the phone.

After Lu Qingye came in and closed the door, he continued to ask, “Are you used to living there? Did my mother and the others make things difficult for you?”

“It’s quite good. It’s lively here.”

Meng Chuyuan did not feel any pressure when interacting with his family. At present, they were quite harmonious because they did not treat each other as outsiders.

Madam Lu was not someone who liked to cause trouble. Her personality was more casual, and Meng Chuyuan got along with her.

Other than not officially calling her sister-in-law, Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling did not offend her in any other way.

This way of getting along and the family atmosphere made Meng Chuyuan feel relaxed and comfortable. She really felt like she was living in her own home.

When the two of them realized that there was no other topic to talk about, Meng Chuyuan changed the topic. “I just told you about renting a house for Lu

Qianling. Have you thought about it?”

Lu Qingye felt that since she could persuade Lu Qianling to go to school, she must have planned this in advance.

He thought for a moment and said calmly, “I’ll listen to you.”

Meng Chuyuan was secretly delighted. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. She smiled and said, “Then I’ll take the time this week to show her the house.”

“Yeah.”

“Rest early. I’m hanging up.” After Meng Chuyuan hung up, she placed Madam Lu’s phone on the coffee table and went upstairs to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

Lu Jinsen had not been idle since the first day he returned. His manager had taken on a lot of work for him to do and was waiting for him to wrap it up.

In the afternoon, his manager brought him to see the director again, wanting Lu Jinsen to act in the next historical drama.

Lu Jinsen’s popularity had been recovering recently. Some directors and brands had taken the initiative to hold out an olive branch to him.

However, with Lu Jinsen’s current reputation, he could not take on any big roles for the time being. He could only act as the supporting actor in the drama.

Before meeting the director, the manager reminded Lu Jinsen again, “When you meet the director, talk nicely. Don’t be rash, do you hear me?”

Lu Jin replied coldly, “Got it.”

“Let’s fight for the third male lead in this drama. I think the persona of the third male lead is quite good. If this drama becomes popular, you can make a comeback.”

‘ Lu Jinsen had heard this many times.

Lu Jinsen had met many directors in the past. They had all gotten along well in the beginning. The director had also praised him in all sorts of ways, saying that his figure and face matched. However, when it came to the audition, they rejected him mercilessly.

He had not filmed for a long time. Recently, he had been working on that rural variety show. It was his only serious job.

Not long after, the director appeared.

When he saw Lu Jinsen, the director greeted him warmly. He did not let go of Lu Jinsen’s hand. “Lu Jinsen, right? I’ve heard a lot about you. I’ve seen your acting. I’ve wanted to work with you for a long time.”

Lu Jinsen said without changing his expression, “Hello, Director.”

After everyone sat down, Lu Jinsen’s manager began to discuss scripts and roles with the director. He tried his best to recommend his artist to the director.

The director was also very happy to hear that. He even revealed that he actually had the intention to work with Lu Jinsen.

The manager: “Director, I think Lu Jinsen is suitable to play the third male lead. Why don’t you give him a chance?”

The director agreed readily. “That’s not a problem. The seats for the third and fourth male lead are still empty. You can choose whatever you want.”

“That’s great. Thank you, Director.”

Just as they thought this would work, the director suddenly said, “Um… I have a presumptuous request.”

Upon hearing the director’s words, Lu Jinsen and his manager’s expressions changed slightly.

After a while, the manager broke the stalemate with a smile. “Why don’t you say it first?”

The director looked up at Lu Jinsen and said tactfully, “I’m still lacking a role in this drama. Can you see if you can get your sister-in-law to act in it?”

Lu Jinsen:

What was going on!

He had been wondering why the collaboration this time had gone so smoothly. It turned out that this trap was buried behind.

Meng Chuyuan had filmed two episodes of the variety show. Her looks and temperament were not inferior to female celebrities in the industry at all. Most importantly, she was now the most popular guest variety show.

Lu Jinsen looked at the director, who was full of anticipation. His voice did not fluctuate at all. “I’m sorry, I can’t give you an answer on this matter.”

Putting aside whether the ludicrosity of letting Meng Chuyuan act, just the director’s method of requesting this favor was wrong.

Since the director wanted Meng Chuyuan to film in his show, shouldn’t he have asked her instead of him?

Wasn’t this clearly giving him pressure?

“Then can you help me pass a message to her when you get back?” The director scratched his head awkwardly and smiled. “I have a role as a chef here. I want her to make a guest appearance.”

Lu Jinsen narrowed his eyes and did not respond.

Perhaps because he had been silent for too long, the manager beside him could not stand it anymore. He silently stretched out his leg and kicked him, indicating for him to speak.

Lu Jinsen came back to his senses and replied perfunctorily, “Okay.”

The director grabbed Lu Jinsen’s hand excitedly and shook it. He said with a smile, “Thank you. I wish us a happy cooperation.”

. ‘ This was a happy collaboration?

Meng Chuyuan had yet to provide any confirmation, and the director here was already putting pressure on him again.

After the dinner ended, the manager reminded Lu Jinsen, “Remember to pass the message to your sister-in-law when you get back. Whether she acts or not is one thing. Whether you say it or not is another. Do you understand?”

She knew Lu Jinsen’s personality too well.

He was stubborn and cared about his face. He might not be able to make such a request.

Lu Jinsen raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, “We’ll talk about it later. I haven’t thought about whether to accept your request or not.”

Especially when he knew that the director was using him, he was quite unhappy.

He was the one discussing the collaboration with the director, but the director had to mention Meng Chuyuan at the end. It was obvious that he was not the director’s target.

“What are you thinking about? You don’t have a choice.” The manager was so angry that he almost pinched him. He said to him in a helpless tone, “It’s others who are considering you for the role, not you. Do you understand? Please recognize your position.”

Lu Jinsen:

In the evening, Meng Chuyuan went to Lu Qianling’s school again.

She had prepared dinner at home in advance and specially brought it to Lu Qianling after her school ended.

After the bell rang, Meng Chuyuan immediately called Lu Qianling. Lu Qianling had just finished packing her textbooks. When she saw Meng Chuyuan calling, she was a little excited..
