The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 287: Will He Come or Will He Not Come He Will Come
Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Will He Come or Will He Not Come He Will Come
Under the benevolent gaze of Director Ren Hongyu, Su Wan had no choice but to be forced into acting as Yu Zhishui’s good sister.
"...Okay, next time we’ll go together."
Yu Zhishui smiled with narrowed eyes, "Promise, okay~ Sister Su Wan~"
What a picture of deep sisterly love.
Yet, under the table, Su Wan’s hand was vigorously pinching the ticklish flesh on Lin Shuang’s waist.
Unable to take out her frustration on the little idol she had just met, she had to settle the score with Lin Dasha instead!
Lin Shuang suspected that Wanwan had been exchanging methods with Xiao Han on how to pinch him in the last few days!
This newly upgraded technique was so painful that Lin Shuang almost broke into a square dance right there and then.
The vast sky is my love~
Yu Zhishui didn’t notice the subtle movements under their table, her little head leaning slightly past Su Wan to whisper to Lin Shuang.
"My dear~"
With that word, Wanwan immediately increased the pressure of her hand.
Lin Shuang gasped and held Wanwan’s hand, "My dear Shuishui and my dear Wanwan, do we have any plans for this afternoon?"
"Ah~"
Yu Zhishui’s tone dropped like skiing, "Shhsh" sliding down instantly, her little face turning from cheery to pitiful.
"I was planning to go produce ’That Year in a Rush’ this afternoon, but there’s a mall event I have to attend abruptly—Do you want to come with me, Sister Su Wan?"
Finally, Su Wan released her grip on Lin Shuang, picking up a piece of honeydew to eat, "No, I have a piano lesson this afternoon."
Yu Zhishui blinked, "Um... what about you, my dear?"
Su Wan hummed with disdain, "I knew it!"
This little dummy’s sense of direction is so off.
She picked up another piece of honeydew and handed it to Yu Zhishui, "You can eat fruit, right?"
"Fruit is fine~"
Yu Zhishui took the honeydew, smiling and toasting with Su Wan, "Cheers to our sisterhood~"
Su Wan curled her lip, clinking her makeshift fruit cup with this bargain sister.
The two beauties sipped their fruits, looking over at Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang leaned on one hand, recalling the afternoon’s schedule.
It seems like it’s Secretary Xia and Little Ling Meng’s turn this afternoon, isn’t it?
They haven’t appeared for a while!
They need their fair share of attention!
"...I need to attend a meeting at the company this afternoon."
"Ah~"
Yu Zhishui’s tone started to slide down again, "Then come find me next time to hang out, my dear."
The dumb idol’s voice was really pleasant to hear, sweet without being cloying; her constant "my dear" didn’t annoy Lin Shuang but instead felt quite heart-fluttering and pleasant to the ears.
He wanted to hold her and savor the taste of the lips that produced such a sweet voice.
Ah, it would be best to hold Wanwan with the left hand and Shuishui with the right, switching back and forth...
Like tasting candy, experiencing a different flavor each time...
And then Lin Shuang was kicked under the table.
"Zhishui, did you see Lin Dasha’s expression? That look means he’s started thinking about some weird things again."
Yu Zhishui nodded blankly, "So that’s how it is, what kind of strange things are you thinking about, my dear?"
Lin Shuang also grabbed a piece of fruit to munch on, "I’m not! I don’t!"
Lin Shuang has always disliked such large, multi-attendee banquets.
However, Director Ren had requested everyone to only drink beverages, which spared Lin Shuang his most despised routine of toasting with alcohol at several tables.
"Pushing drinks is a bad custom.
Without the tedious toasting, it was just simple dining and chatting. Everyone was happy and the gathering ended quickly.
Just before the dinner ended, a female actress from another table came over with a glass of juice
—Lin Shuang guessed it was probably orange with pulp.
Su Wan whispered to him, ’This is Liu Xiaoxiao, Sister Xiao, who’s the third female lead in the movie and also a very capable actress who has debuted a long time ago.’
Liu Xiaoxiao wore her hair short and neat, striding with a breezy, brisk air.
They all thought she was coming over to toast Director Ren, but saw her holding up her orange with pulp, stopping in front of Su Wan.
’Hello, Su Wan, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration on this film. If you have any questions about acting, feel free to ask me.’
The lively dinner table seemed to freeze for a second.
Liu Xiaoxiao finished her orange with pulp in one go, Su Wan blanked out for a moment, then put down the melon she hadn’t finished and picked up a glass of tea to toast her back.
’Pleasure to work with you, Sister Xiao.’
Lin Shuang sat beside them, feeling puzzled: Was this coming to plant a flag and challenge the female lead? Not quite impressed that Su Wan, a newcomer, could play the leading role?
After Liu Xiaoxiao left, Director Ren quickly came over to soothe Su Wan.
’This girl, Liu Xiaoxiao... she’s just a bit too straightforward.’
Director Ren sighed, gently patted Su Wan’s shoulder, ’Don’t take it to heart, Student Su. She’s actually not a bad person at her core.’
Su Wan nodded, ’It’s alright, Teacher Ren... I will learn from Sister Xiao.’
Lin Shuang calmly took a bite of melon: He could tell from his childhood friend’s tone that she was determined to prove herself.
He was definitely confident in his dearest childhood friend.
Director Ren sat down beside Su Wan and Yu Zhishui, and started talking about Liu Xiaoxiao.
’Liu Xiaoxiao is an actress I discovered myself, and her acting is really good... But because of her personality, she hasn’t been well-received in the industry...’
Lin Shuang, Su Wan, and Yu Zhishui exchanged glances, recalling what Director Ren had said about the so-called ’rules of the industry.’
Every industry has its personal connections and worldly wisdom...
’Other directors are quite hesitant to hire her, but she’s my discovery after all, and there’s no doubt about her acting skills. She’s a good person, definitely not bad, so you don’t have to worry. She’s just too straightforward.’
While Director Ren was chatting with everyone, at the same time in the boss’s office of Xiao Lin Group.
Xia Yixin, Secretary Xia, was idly staring at the meeting notes on her computer.
She munched on chips, muttering to herself.
’He will come... he won’t come... he will come...’
After finishing the bag of chips, the last one landed on ’he won’t come’.
Secretary Xia paused, then leaned over to grab another bag of chips and opened it.
Starting the count over.
’He will come... he won’t come... he will come...’
With a few chips left, Secretary Xia’s phone suddenly rang.
It was the young miss’s call.
Xia Yubing’s voice fluttered like a dancing butterfly, ’Yixin, don’t you have a meeting about the MP4 plan this afternoon? I’ll come and support you, hmm~ Call your fiancé over too, I have a little surprise for him~’
’Okay, young miss.’
’You can call him over earlier for some private time beforehand, okay?’
’Young miss...’
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yixin zoned out for a moment, then resumed eating chips.
’He will come... he won’t come... he will come...’
This time, the last chip landed on.
’He will come.’
In the empty office, the somewhat lonely voice of Xia Yixin could be heard."
