Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

8 month 25 day.

The box office performance of "The Unknown" remains stable, earning one or two million yuan per day, and it is only a few days away from reaching 100 million yuan in box office revenue.

The casting for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been finalized, with Liu Yifei, the "Fairy Sister," once again beating out all the other actresses to take the lead.

From that day on, Yifei would go to school to practice drama during the day and review the script at home in the evening.

This script isn't from The Return of the Condor Heroes, but rather from that scoundrel's play—"Roots."

On September 10, "The Unknown" ended its run at the box office with 110 million yuan. Ye Chongchong's talent began to shine, and the previous scandals and negative news were also greatly reduced.

At 11 p.m. that night, when Yifei returned home after attending the celebration banquet, Liu's mother was still awake. Not only was she awake, but she was also sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking like she was about to interrogate her.

"Mom?" Yifei walked to the sofa in a few steps and sure enough, she saw her mother's murderous eyes.

When Liu's mother saw her return, she didn't immediately make trouble. Instead, she leaned forward and carefully smelled her daughter's hair. After finding no smell of alcohol, she leaned back and scrutinized her closely.

A khaki trench coat, a striking red lipstick, slightly styled long, straight black hair, a face lightly made up, and—eyes that sparkle with longing.

From any perspective, she's the epitome of a young girl in the throes of first love!

"You and Ye Chong are together?"

Yifei stared wide-eyed at her mother in disbelief: "Mom, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'getting together'? Your daughter...!"

"Enough, enough!" Liu's mother interrupted her impatiently, "What's going on between you two? You're constantly revolving around Ye Chong, do you know that? What happened to your promise to be independent? What happened to your dream of becoming a top actress?"

"What does this have to do with Ye Chong?"

"It's related!" Liu's mother roared, startling her daughter.

"You don't even read the script for 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' you're reading 'Roots' all day! Don't say anything!"

Liu's mother interrupted her daughter again, pulling her to her side and softening her tone: "At first, I was against you two. You knew about the wrap party last time. I don't object to your friendships with your classmates."

"But you're going too far!"

"Mother……"

Upon hearing those two words, Liu's mother felt a sudden tremor in her heart, because Qianqian had uttered them with a trembling voice.

On the sofa, Yifei, with red eyes, held her mother's hand and revealed her true feelings for the first time: "I know your and Godfather's policy: it's better to guide than to block."

"What!" Liu's mother was shocked.

How did my daughter know about this? Well...

"I know that my godfather asked Hei Yechong to help him. Actually, the reporters at the airport that night weren't hired by Lu Chuan at all, right?"

"What did you say?"

Liu's mother opened her eyes wide again. Yifei saw Liu's mother's expression and felt a little relieved.

"Xixi, what do you mean by this?" Liu's mother was genuinely surprised!

Anyone who recalls what happened at the airport that night will first suspect Lu Chuan, and then Hua Yi.

That night, the crew's information was leaked, catching Ye Chong's crew off guard. Ye Chong was forced to give an awkward speech on the spot, resorting to bribery and sophistry to resolve the crisis. From that day on, Ye Chong and Lu Chuan started to clash!

Why do you think that way?

Yifei shook her head. The fairy-like young woman revealed a maturity and wisdom reminiscent of Xu Hongdou.

"You've all overlooked the simplest thing: Lu Chuan did hire reporters to harass Ye Chong, but since she'd already hired them, why drag herself into this mess?"

"..." Liu's mother frowned and carefully considered what he said.

Upon closer examination, there are indeed significant problems here: Firstly, Lu Chuan must have called someone, but why would she call someone to smear Ye Chong, and why does every sentence involve Lu Chuan herself? It's just that everyone naturally assumes it was Lu Chuan, after all, the two have a long-standing feud.

Secondly, why was the production crew's schedule leaked so quickly?

How obscure was Ye Chong's production team? At the press conference for the start of filming, apart from the reporters who were hired, there wasn't a single fan.

So what Sisi meant by that was...

Liu's mother frowned, and her eyes gradually reddened. She had thought of something...

"And also, Mom..." Yifei looked at her mother with a deep gaze, "Doesn't your moving also prove that you think the bad apple did the right thing?"

Liu's mother fell silent, then looked up at her daughter. The latter's eyes were no longer red, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if... she was overjoyed that her mother had discovered Ye Chong's good qualities?

"What bad apple? You wish! Ye Chong is even more wishful thinking!" Seeing that reasoning wouldn't work, Liu's mother simply resorted to playing the emotional card: "I only have one daughter. I don't care if he's Ye or Chong. If he wants to get past me, he'll have to put him through a few more years of testing!"

Liu's mother is intelligent and gentle, and she can't really pretend to be a shrew. At this moment, her proud and arrogant appearance is actually quite cute in Yifei's eyes.

But she dared not show it openly.

You scoundrel, you scoundrel, look how hard I try, did I owe you something in my past life? Why did you have to come and torment me like this?

Seeing that Liu's mother was still angry, Yifei thought for a moment and then put on a pitiful look again.

She blinked her big eyes, picked up her bag and placed it in front of her mother: "Mom, I also think bad people are bad. Look, he's never even given a gift to his... his classmates."

Liu's mother rolled her eyes at her. If she couldn't see that her daughter was showing off at this point, she shouldn't be a mother.

"Alright, alright, stop joking around. In short, you need to tell that rascal to watch his step these next few years. First, stop making enemies everywhere by talking nonsense. Second... don't you dare lay a hand on him!"

"That play..."

Liu's mother let out a long sigh and shoved her daughter away, saying, "Go away, fine, go ahead, but don't bother me!"

"Ah, thank you, Mom! Muah!" Yifei smacked her lips, leaving a spit in her mouth. Her mother, while disgusted, reminded her again, "Don't touch me!"

Yifei pouted and nodded slightly.

Yes, yes, yes, I said that I couldn't touch him, but what happened? He said he would only talk, but who knew he would talk like that?

Thinking of this, Yifei looked at the drool stains on her mother's face.

Ruined……

I wonder what will happen to Ye Chong and his dad's promise? They drove me away last time! (You're getting the wrong idea, aren't you?)

……

"dad!"

In Ye Chong's newly purchased apartment, Director Ye had already been thoroughly scolded!

"You son of a bitch, you said you'd call me? Are you kidding me?!"

"No, we really did date, but the woman is shy!"

Ye Chong made himself a cup of coffee while lying without thinking.

We'll be officially dating next year, or you could say we're in a relationship, right?

"Then why the hell did you make that phone call, you son of a bitch?"

"Plays! And movies!" Ye Chong lay on the sofa, picked up his coffee and blew on it, his eyes full of pride and narcissism.

"Your son's doing really well! He's about to have his own stage play, and a movie too. We invited you to come, but you wouldn't!"

"I……"

Before the old man could finish speaking, a cheerful middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came from the phone: "You old man, you've watched it five times! You even asked the construction workers to watch it. It's so outdated, people are joking that his son took the picture!"

"Shut up, you little bastard! I don't have a mouth!"

Ye Chong raised an eyebrow, wanting to laugh at the same time, but also curious to hear what profound words his father would utter.

"Ahem! Just kidding! (That's it)"

"Beep beep beep..."
