Chapter 112: Please let me go, please!

Jiang Sui watched Lu Ye for a while and came to a profound understanding of a man’s charm when he was working.

Even with the same face, Lu Ye somehow looked far more pleasing to the eye at that moment.

Just then, her phone suddenly lit up with a message from Shi Heng.

She closed the webpage and glanced first at the chat window.

The message was an audition notice for a film role.

Shi Heng: “Once the storm dies down, ride the wave of attention and go audition. I read the script; it’s a good one. Maybe it can help you turn things around.”

Jiang Sui sent back an okay emoji.

She knew that her biggest black mark right now was not her conflict with Bai Xixue.

It was her embarrassing, appalling acting that seemed to ignore everyone else’s survival.

So Shi Heng was eager to help her make a breakthrough in that area.

After all, her real profession was acting.

Only skill and work could give a person the confidence to speak and stand tall.

At first, Shi Heng had even thought of finding her a few acting coaches, but she rejected him with a single line: “No need.”

Though Shi Heng did not understand, he respected her decision.

As long as he could find a script with a decent role that did not require extraordinary acting, he could still help Jiang Sui get back on her feet.

That was why he had sifted through countless options to choose this script, intending to let Jiang Sui try for it.

After replying to Shi Heng, Jiang Sui opened the website again.

But it would no longer load.

She frowned, took her phone and waved it near the car window. “Is the signal bad?”

She tried a few more times, but the site still would not respond, so she gave up.

She put the phone aside, fished a lipstick from her bag, and prepared to fix the makeup she had smudged while eating dessert.

Just then, she pulled out the very lipstick on which she had written a phone number, and even the pointed tip had been worn down.

Her brow creased slightly, and then she tossed the lipstick straight into the trash bin outside the car.

She found another lip gloss to touch up her lips, then drove off.

After dinner, Jiang Sui kept Xuanxuan company in the living room while they watched television.

Xuanxuan, who was really at the age for cartoons, was instead watching a series of melodramatic soap operas with great relish.

The pure-hearted heroine cried, “Please, let me go. I’m begging you, let me go!”

The domineering CEO said, “You belong to me for the rest of your life. You can never escape!”

The heroine cried, “Just because you have a little money doesn’t make you so great!”

The domineering CEO sneered. “Heh, little thing, you’re the first woman who has ever dared speak to me like that.”

...

Jiang Sui crunched through a bag of chips, watching with great interest.

Indeed, these over-the-top dramas were popular no matter the era.

Xuanxuan frowned the whole time, nibbling on a pouch of jelly.

The wealthy, beautiful rival said, “I’m warning you, stay away from him, or I won’t let you get away with it.”

The pure-hearted heroine said, “I know I’m not good enough for him... but he doesn’t like you either. Is what you’re doing really worth it?”

The wealthy beauty gave a cold laugh. “What do you know? Only he and I are truly meant for each other. He’ll fall for me sooner or later!”

At that moment, the domineering CEO rushed out, shoved the wealthy beauty aside, and slapped her across the face.

“I’m warning you, stay away from her! I could never like you in this lifetime! Stop deluding yourself!”

...

Little Lu Xuanxuan, still chewing on her jelly, was instantly stunned and stared wide-eyed at the television.

At just the right moment, Jiang Sui picked up the remote and switched the channel.

The TV that had been playing melodrama was now showing an anime for girls.

Xuanxuan frowned. “Mommy Jiang Sui, why does that rich and pretty姐姐 have to be with that rich uncle?”
