I saw an old man with sparse and gray hair and a fat face full of wrinkles. He was holding a cigar in his hand and wearing pajamas, not paying any attention to his image.
How could one tell that the actor was actually Silver Gray, the most handsome man in Shelag? The man lying on the bed looked like an unkempt, annoying old man!
"--puff."
However, such a huge contrast made Enya, who was ready to see her brother's face, laugh almost subconsciously, and then felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Brother... You don't look like a CEO or a handsome guy at all. Are you really here to play the emperor?
If this part was broadcast, everyone in Kjerag would see that the patriarch of the Shivaash family and the president of Kalan Trading actually looked like this...
"Ah... really... it's so embarrassing. I really don't want others to know that this kind of person is my brother."
Enya muttered to herself while trying to suppress her laughter. However, seeing her brother making a fool of himself, the resentment in her heart, which had originally intended to just put on a sour face, seemed to dissipate a little bit.
Chapter 83: Chuxue, Yaxin: Should my brother find a sister-in-law for us?
"To General Ismay, given the current situation, the time has come..."
"It's [Mature]! Not [Formed]! What are you doing, little girl?!"
However, what surprised Enya and Enxia was that when they were secretly delighted that their brother was playing the role of a mighty emperor this time, they found out that the image their brother was playing now had nothing to do with "majestic" and "emperor", but was just a lousy old man. The next scene made them even more suspicious.
The secretary played by Vina encountered some minor problems in her first job, but most of these minor problems were due to her first contact with the character played by Yinhui.
But these small mistakes made SilverAsh furious. His face, which looked a little fat and old due to Robilata's godly makeup skills, did not have the kindness and tolerance of an old man, but was full of harsh emotions.
"Single line spacing! You use single!" Silver Gray raised the paper he had torn off the typewriter in his hand, and shouted without caring that he was about to scare a little girl to tears:
"Didn't anyone tell you? Little girl? Single spacing?!"
"This is set to single line spacing, I..."
"Why don't you change it quickly?!" SilverAsh didn't give Vina's character any chance to explain. His furious look made him look like an unreasonable, mean, sarcastic and violent noble lord.
It can even be said that anyone who meets him for the first time will think that this old guy is crazy. Not only is he unkempt, he also has no aristocratic temperament at all, not to mention whether he looks like an emperor.
"…Is this person really our brother?"
However, Enxia looked at Yinhui, who had already scolded Vina away on the screen, with her mouth slightly open. She really couldn't imagine that this person was actually played by her brother.
Because they can't see any trace of their brother! Although Enya and Enxia, the two sisters, have very different feelings and experiences about their brother SilverGray, they still have a good understanding of what kind of person SilverGray is.
It can be said that in private life, Yinhui was a perfect and meticulous person, whether in his student days or when he was the president of Kalan Trading.
He can make his pajamas look like a suit at home. His back is always straight. He has no bad habits, does not drink, smoke, or show any interest in women. He is wholeheartedly focused on his career.
This also made him somewhat neglect the company of his family, or maybe it was because the shadow of his parents' early death was still affecting him, but his two sisters knew very well that their brother was a person who would never behave in an ugly manner or lose his temper.
But what did they see now? An old man who, if Frost Star hadn't pointed it out to them before, they wouldn't have guessed was their brother? He had a bad temper, smoked cigars and drank whiskey as soon as he got up. Was he related to their brother in the slightest?
"Maybe?" Enya was a little confused, however, looking at the silver-gray in the camera, she couldn't help but feel... she seemed to have seen her future brother.
Yes, it was a strange feeling, but Enya felt that if his brother was crushed by pressure one day, he could still handle the responsibility of the clan leader and president. But if he led Kjerag in his own way in the future, what would he become?
Maybe... is that the case? Enya imagined that scene. If her brother was overwhelmed by pressure and had to relieve stress through other channels again and again, then it would not be difficult to understand why he would smoke cigars, drink whiskey, and have a bad temper.
After all, now everyone in Kjerag, the other two families and Manzhuyuan can see the urgency that their brother has for Kjerag's reforms.
In fact, everyone could see that his brother's desire to control Kjerag had become stronger and stronger. He did not seem to intend to hide his ambition, but he always found ways to gain the support of the closed and conservative people of Kjerag with benefits or promises of future fulfillment.
And if the future is like this... perhaps my seemingly perfect brother, with the increasing pressure, will become... like this in his later years?
"... He will become like this sooner or later. One day, when the huge pressure crushes him, he may become an old man like this."
"No! I don't want my brother to become like this!"
However, Enya's mumbling scared Enxia. Before Enxia could imagine this future, another person suddenly walked into the camera. When the camera was turned to the other person, the two women saw that a woman with white hair, who was old but quite elegant, slowly approached Silver Gray.
"Dear?" When the white-haired woman spoke, Enya and Enxia were slightly stunned, but they quickly reacted.
"Is this the one who plays my brother's wife in the movie?" Enxia also guessed so. At that moment, Enxia nodded and replied:
"It looks like she does... Although she is acting older, she is still a very elegant woman."
However, listening to the words of the two sisters behind them, Chen Qi, Nian and Tallulah, who were supervising the filming in front, were trembling slightly and trying hard to hold back their laughter, but still did not distract themselves to answer the two girls' questions.
But, they really wanted to say that the elegant white-haired woman they were talking about was actually Huafalin!
During the filming, Warfarin also came to the room. Just as Kal'tsit said, Warfarin is quite reliable when she is serious. For example, now that Warfarin has entered the performance state, it is really hard to find fault with her.
"Honey, can I talk to you? I think you really need to hear this."
At this moment, Silver Gray was kneeling on the ground, his head constantly poking under the bed, trying to call out a Filinya beast that had crawled under the bed.
But after Huafalin came in, Yinhui, who had been furious at the new secretary a minute ago, suddenly became obedient. Without saying a word, he staggered to sit down on the bed.
After Silver Gray sat firmly, Hua Fa Lin continued to maintain her temperament without breaking down. She seriously accused Silver Gray... No, it should be said that she spoke in a gentle and reasonable tone:
"I noticed that your temper has worsened recently. You used to be very friendly, but now you have become irritable."
"Mean, forceful and rude."
"…Is it because of that little girl?" Yinhui immediately guessed what made his "wife" come to give these instructions specifically, but this time, facing his wife, his tone was undoubtedly much softer.
However, Huafalin was very emotionally intelligent and did not take up the topic, because it would make the little girl hate her, so she just continued:
"If His Majesty the Emperor really gives up the throne to you as the new Emperor."
“It’s hard to say yet.”
"——I don't want you to be hated by others." Facing Silver Gray who was about to speak, Hua Falin interrupted him in a gentle tone. Upon hearing this, Silver Gray lost his temper and said timidly:
"I think a lot of people already hate me..."
"Oh, dear, you are about to take power, above everyone else, and no one will be higher than you. With power in your hands, you should try to show your kind side."
"——It's best to keep calm. I hope others can respect and love you as much as I do."
Huafalin spoke to SilverAsh as if she were a teacher teaching kindergarten children to be kind to others, and Enya and Enxia had never seen anyone speak to their brother like this before.
And his brother... was so timid, like a Filene beast, and didn't even have the intention to refute.
Such a scene also made the sisters have strange thoughts... They looked at each other, and they could see what they meant to each other from their eyes.
Enxia: "Sister, sister, as I recall, it's not uncommon for people to fall in love on set, right?"
Enya: "That's true... When this part is over, let's ask for the actor's contact information, right?"
Soon, from the simple interaction between SilverAsh and Warfarin, the sisters came up with the idea of finding a wife for their brother - after all, although it was just a play, there were many cases of falling in love because of the play. Even Enya and Enshia, who were confined in Kjerag, had heard about it because of their gossipy nature.
It should be said that it was a good thing that Chen Qi had no way of hearing the telepathy of the two girls, otherwise he might have really made a fool of himself at that moment - these two little girls who didn't know the truth, if you chose such a sister-in-law for your brother, not to mention how your brother would react, the future alone would be enough for you two to suffer.
"Crack! We've passed this part! Mr. SilverAsh, Ms. HuaFaLin, you guys performed very well!"
"By the way, Mr. Silver Gray, your sisters are waiting for you in the screening room. Come over as soon as possible if it's convenient for you."
Chen Qi also immediately conveyed the arrival of Enya and Enxia to Yinhui through the microphone, and just as Chen Qi finished speaking, there was almost a burst of extremely fast footsteps, and the door of the screening room was suddenly pushed open by Yinhui.
"Enya, Enxia, you—"
When Yinhui saw his two sisters here, he almost instinctively wanted to go up and give them a hug. However, just as Yinhui took a step forward, he found that his two sisters looked pale and immediately took a step back.
"Wait - Brother, can you take off your makeup before coming over here!" Enxia looked at the silver-gray man with dilated pupils in front of him with a difficult expression, and said awkwardly:
"I don't even want to hug such an old man! I always feel like you have some old age odor on you..."
"...I agree with what Enxia said." Enya was equally unappreciative. Although there was no one else watching her at the moment, Enya still had resentment towards her brother in her heart, so she would never call him "brother".
However, she did not insist on Yinhui calling her "Lady Saint" at that moment.
Seeing that his two sisters had the same attitude, Yinhui was a little embarrassed. He straightened his back and regained his 1.9-meter-tall height. Facing his sisters who despised him, he had to pretend to be indifferent and said:
"……I see."
"Hey?! Mr. SilverGray! Is your sister here too? Where is she?"
However, a cheerful voice suddenly sounded, and the door of the screening room opened again. Huafalin, who had already removed her makeup and still had water stains on her face, walked in without paying any attention to her image.
Soon, Huafalin turned his gaze to Enya and Enxia who were still in a daze, and walked forward with shining eyes, saying with a smile on his face:
"You are President SilverAsh's sisters? I heard from Kal'tsit before that one of you has been coming to Rhodes Island for treatment, right?"
"When you come to Rhode Island, remember to ask me for a physical examination! I only need a small amount of blood to measure the concentration of your infection!"
"you are……"
"Oh! My name is Warfarin! I'm a doctor from Rhodes Island, and I'm here to act temporarily! You should have seen me in front of the camera just now, right?"
However, Huafalin's extremely familiar routine surprised Enya and Enxia. At this time, the two women also noticed that Huafalin's clothes were not changed, which were obviously the same as the "madam" they saw at that time.
And... the same white hair, the same height, but it seems that the colored contact lenses have been taken off, revealing the blood demon's blood-red eyes.
Of course, there was also the tone that lost all its elegance as soon as it opened its mouth, which instantly shattered the thoughts that the two girls had previously had.
It's a pity that Huafalin, who now brags about her blood tasting ability, has no idea that she has suddenly lost the possibility of becoming the wife of the president of Kalan Trading. I don't know how she would feel if she knew this.
Chapter 84: Chuxue: I don’t want a brother who smokes and drinks
The "visit" from the two sisters was also an encouragement to SilverAsh. After arranging Enshia's treatment process in Rhodes Island, SilverAsh also began to purchase a large number of televisions from Casimir, and planned to send them to Kjerag together with the ones purchased by Enya in the name of Manzhuyuan.
"Could it be that Mr. Enciodis (Silver Gray's name) wants to please Manzhuyuan?" After Silver Gray paid for the TV that Manzhuyuan wanted to purchase, Enya said to Silver Gray in an extremely indifferent tone:
"If that's the case, you may be disappointed. Manzhuyuan will not accept your bribe, nor will I thank you for it. As a saint, I cannot accept this unprovoked kindness."
"...You misunderstood, Saint Lady."
However, facing Enya's rigid attitude towards him, SilverAsh had obviously long been accustomed to it. Facing his sister's deliberately harsh words, he also responded in an orderly manner:
"It is my honor to pay for the gifts that Manzhuyuan and the Saint Lady will give to the believers of Kjerag. It is just a small respect from my family and company - respect for Yelagund."
"We are also trying to set up the local area network as much as possible. We may be able to start debugging within half a month. Now, let the residents of Kjerag see the outside world through TV. Isn't this a good thing for Kjerag?"
"...Since Mr. Enchiodis is so kind, I have no choice but to accept it."
"Also... please don't get too close to me. You smell like cigars, which I don't like."
"...Yes, Saint Lady."
Enya couldn't tell whether she felt sad or something else about SilverAsh's respectfulness... She was obviously used to this sense of distance. From the day she became a saint, her relationship with her brother ended.
Not far away, Chen Qi and Tallulah stood together, watching the awkward way the brother and sister got along. Tallulah couldn't help but say:
"What's going on with this brother and sister? Why are they so awkward with each other? Reminds me of Froststar and Bodracasti... but they should be siblings, right?"
"This is probably because every family has its own problems." Chen Qi, who knew why the relationship between SilverAsh and Enya was so awkward, couldn't help but sigh as he watched this scene:
"After all, Yinhui is first a patriarch, then a CEO, and only then a brother."
"Perhaps it was because of the experience of losing both his parents and his family not being able to gain a foothold in Kjerag that he knew too well that in order to protect his family, someone had to take on the part of responsibility that no one understood."
"What's more, his goal is even greater. He is actually doing something great for Kjerag. What he wants to do now is to protect Kjerag. Only by protecting Kjerag can he truly have the power to protect his family."
Chen Qi actually understood Yinhui's current nervousness, especially after joining the crew. Yinhui's usual workload was simply ridiculous. In addition to acting, he also had to negotiate cooperation with several Casimir companies as the president of Kalan Trade, and make plans for Kjerag's popular TV series. He even secretly negotiated with the people of the Commercial Federation about the purchase of supporting equipment for their competitive knights...
SilverAsh's nervousness actually came from the fact that after he arrived in Casimir and got informed, he immediately realized that the situation on the Terra continent was changing.
Whether it is the division of Victoria or the current offensive of Casimir, Ursus and Leithania against Victoria, it all indicates that the power situation on the Terra continent will change in the future.
Although Kjerag is remote, it is not too far from Victoria! And while Kjerag's environment is harsh, Silver Gray is well aware that there are a lot of mineral resources that can be used hidden under the mountains of Kjerag!
Yelagund can protect Kjerag's believers. Although the environment is harsh, natural disasters are rare. However, does Yelagund still have divine power to protect Kjerag when he may face an attack from an enemy army in the future?
SilverAsh believed in Yelagund, he was a Kjerag after all. But he preferred to trust his own judgment and his own strength, and believed that he could change Kjerag's weakness.
He also preferred to believe that only by having real power in his hands could he truly deter other enemies from spying on them, Kjerag.
That's why SilverAsh is anxious. He wants to keep Kjerag alive as long as possible in this turbulent era that is about to usher in great changes. However, his far-sightedness does not mean that most people in Kjerag can see far as well.
Just like now, Enya clearly understood everything her brother did, but there was still a gap in her heart. She knew that her brother's approach was right and it was the only solution at the time... but she just couldn't let it go.
"Forget it, why should we discuss other people's family affairs? Just don't cause trouble for them."
Chen Qi patted Tallulah's shoulder upon hearing this, but after a moment of silence, he spoke helplessly:
"Let's arrange some of SilverAsh's recent scenes, scenes where he can perform well. I think he also wants to show his handsome side to his sisters."
"I understand." Talulah smiled faintly when she heard that. She was of course well aware of Chen Qi's character of helping to the best of his ability.
What she liked was the kindness in Chen Qi, which was extremely hard to breed in this land. As long as you stood by his side, you didn't need to worry that he would harm you, because he wouldn't have such a crooked mind - even if you sat next to him with a big bag of money, he wouldn't try to reach out.
On the other side, Enya and SilverAsh's conversation had ended, and Enya soon noticed Chen Qi's figure beside her. For some reason, after Tallulah left, she walked straight towards Chen Qi.
"Ms. Enya." Facing Enya who suddenly came to see him, Chen Qi also bowed respectfully to the Saint Lady. He could feel that there was a bit of resentment in Enya's eyes, but he didn't know why.
