CH 86

Zhou Ling Ling didn’t understand, she really didn’t.

How did Sang Wan Ci manage to bring “Xing Yi Group” and their funding into the crew??

She had never heard anybody mention Sang Wan Ci had any sort of backing before???

Lu Zhi Wei smiled slightly and said to Wen Yao: “Let’s go.”

She had watched Zhou Ling Ling get embarrassed and she was feeling light on her feet, it was time to continue working.

Wen Yao had such a rare opportunity to see Zhou Ling Ling be put on the spot, now she felt comfortable too.

She followed along Lu Zhi Wei, feeling more and more curious as she walked: “Did Sang Wan Ci really bring the funding to the crew? Did she come to help you specially?”

Lu Zhi Wei smiled gently: “Mm, our Teacher Sang is a particularly kind kid.”

Wen Yao: “It has to be because your relationship is so good, that’s why she would help out.”

Her face showed her surprise: “Speaking of which, I really never thought that her resources included the Xing Yi Group. How impressive…… Zhi Wei jie, do you know what her relationship is to the Xing Yi Group? How did she manage to convince Director Meng to invest?

“It couldn’t be that…… She’s the rich heiress of the Meng family?”

Everybody knew Meng Lang Cheng had a daughter, but his daughter had never shown her face in public before.

To protect his daughter’s privacy, Meng Lang Cheng also rarely revealed any information about her.

It was probably only people in his circle who knew what his daughter looked like and was called.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t confirm or deny it.

“Alright, stop guessing, let’s go.”

Since Sang Wan Ci dared to enter the crew with this funding, she probably had already come to terms with telling the world about her identity.

As for when, Lu Zhi Wei didn’t know.

Maybe she would announce it when the right time came by.

Truthfully, she had gotten a shock when she found out that Sang Wan Ci’s father was Meng Lang Cheng.

Although she had been prepared, but hearing Sang Wan Ci admit it with her own ears, it was like she had been blinded by the shining glare of money.

But compared to that, Lu Zhi Wei was more concerned about something else.

—— The agreement between Sang Wan Ci and her father.

Three film empress awards in two years.

It was Meng Lian Yu’s starting point, but it wasn’t an easy feat.

Lu Zhi Wei really couldn’t understand why Sang Wan Ci would accept these terms so easily.

Did this kid know she had the female protagonist halo, so she felt like she could do whatever she wanted?!

Of course, she was just complaining.

How could her Wan Ci know that she had the female protagonist halo?

Her innocent Wan Ci didn’t know anything, she just didn’t follow the script at all.

It was already very abnormal by agreeing to this.

Lu Zhi Wei didn’t agree with Meng Lang Cheng’s actions.

But she didn’t know what his point of view was, and why he had such thoughts.

Because his lover had died suddenly and couldn’t accomplish her dream, so he stubbornly wanted his child to do it?

But that wasn’t fair to the child…… Why didn’t he do it himself?

Until today, she still couldn’t understand what these fathers were thinking.

She only hoped her Wan Ci would get everything she wanted and be successful……

Lao Wu comforted her, asking her to believe in the power of the female protagonist halo.

【You should be more worried about how you’re going to climb to the top now.

【San Wan Ci has helped you to save this main lead role, you need to take this opportunity and act well.

【But don’t pressure yourself too much. If this time isn’t possible, there’s always the next movie.】

Lu Zhi Wei agreed.

She would definitely work hard, and she would work even harder not to disappoint Sang Wan Ci’s efforts.

She had to work even, even harder for Director Guo’s movie. If it was shot well, then that would be the thing that could propel Sang Wan Ci to winning the film empress award!

She definitely couldn’t hold her back!

After she came back to her senses, she took a look at the official Weibo page for 《Symphony of Dreams》.

The comments section was filled with anticipation.

[@I think you look like a hammer]: ? Baby Lu’s lumberjack sawing is for your show? Does that mean she’s actually going to play? Please broadcast the behind the scenes shots, I want to watch!

[@Wuwu I need the ability to brag]: Three times collaborating! My Baby Lu Lu is finally the female lead this time wuwu, thank you Director Liu for giving our baby a chance!

[@Tears, flow down]: Some people die of thirst while others are dying of water poisoning[1]. Other people’s CP has already collaborated thrice while my CP has never even posted a Weibo that tags the other person, I’m dying of laughter

[@I’m the audience in a talk show]: Director Liu, let’s go! Sang Sang, let’s go! Lu Lu, let’s go!

Lu Zhi Wei slowly scrolled down.

Actually, adding this time to the count, it should be their fourth time working together.

But the previous two times were accidents and not because they were trying to make it happen.

This time, Sang Wan Ci was the one saving the crew, so it was an accident too.

The only one that could really be considered the two of them collaborating was Guo Hui’s same-sex movie.

It was also a sort of blessing in her eyes, to have so many collaborations.

It was a common thing to fly about for work in their industry. They could see each other every day while working together, but if there was no collaboration, they could go a very long time without meeting.

They had a lot of collaborations these two years, but what about next year? Or the year after?

Besides, the audience wouldn’t start to not care about their acting skills or roles just because they had acted together a few times.

The biggest failure for an actor was to play the same role again and again, unable to adapt to different challenges.

As long as the audience acknowledged all their roles, then it wasn’t an issue to work together multiple times.

Because of Sang Wan Ci bringing funding into the production, Zhou Ling Ling was so angry she was throwing a tantrum at home.

Xing Yi Group…… Xing Yi Group!!!

How on earth did Sang Wan Ci manage to get such a big funding?!

There was be something up!

Maybe Sang Wan Ci and Meng Lian Yu really have some unspeakable relationship between them?

No, she can’t just let off Sang Wan Ci and Lu Zhi Wei like this!

Thinking about it, she picked up her phone and made a call: “Hello? I have some big breaking news here, do you want it?”



After signing with 《Symphony of Dreams》, Sang Wan Ci’s schedule for the year was utterly packed.

With one television drama and one movie, there was basically no room left in between.

On the car, Zhang Xian Rui thought about it and asked: “Wan Ci, have you made up with your father?”

Sang Wan Ci looked outside the window: “No.”

Zhang Xian Rui: “Then why did he agree to the funding?

Sang Wan Ci: “We came to terms.”

Zhang Xian Rui: “…… Ah?”

Sang Wan Ci looked back: “Zhang jie, help me keep a look out for movie scripts, I want to film more of them.”

Zhang Xian Rui: “?”

The workaholic Sang Wan Ci was back???

After she said that, Sang Wan Ci turned her head away again.

She lowered her head and her eyebrows knitted as she gently rubbed her temples.

Zhang Xian Rui asked in concern: “Your head’s hurting again?”

Sang Wan Ci smiled at her: “It’s okay.”

Then, she leaned back against her seat and closed her eyes, her eyebrows still tightly furrowed.

Zhang Xian Rui kept her words in her heart, wanting to say it but afraid it would make Sang Wan Ci’s head hurt even more.

So she waited and waited, until Sang Wan Ci’s eyebrows finally smoothed out.

Then Zhang Xian Rui opened her mouth, speaking carefully: “Wan Ci, I’ll keep an eye out for the scripts, but you really need to rest well. You don’t want to really collapse and go to the hospital one day……”

Sang Wan Ci’s inexplicable headaches were really worrying.

But she said she was fine, and aside from the occasional headaches, she really didn’t have anything else wrong……

Sang Wan Ci opened her mouth to speak, a hint of amusement in her voice: “Haven’t I been reducing my workload since last year and resting?

“Zhang jie, thank you for your concern, I’ll keep an eye on it.”

“You’re really okay?”

“Really okay.”

“You promise?”

Sang Wan Ci chuckled.

“Don’t worry, I know my body best.”

Seeing her so confident, Zhang Xian Rui could only temporarily set it aside and not keep asking.

《Questioning Deity Sect》 finally broadcasted the ending of the little junior sister.

Ever since the show started airing, many viewers had been attracted thanks to the thrilling story.

A lot of viewers really liked the little junior sister, and they cried terribly when her ending was shown.

The topic #little junior sister is gone# even got onto the hot search naturally.

Once one clicked in, it was a sea of crying.

[@This is a name]: The little junior sister walked to Qiao Jing to wipe away her tears, my eyes are going to go blind from crying! Wen Shuang, do you have a heart!!!

[@Will it end in my lifetime]: My little junior sister is too miserable in this life! Wuwuwuwuwu

[@Can it end this month]: Wuwuwu these martial sisters are too easy to ship, the little junior sister is too pitiful!!! Lu Zhi Wei, you’re incredible!!!

[@Depressed ecstasy palm]: ? Lu Zhi Wei, why did you die again! What kind of bad ending magnet are you! Can you live for mommy in the next show, live longer!!!

[@Super awesome]: It’s okay, her next show is a modern one, not only will she be able to live until the ending, she can even let us hear her wood sawing (no

And today was coincidentally the day that Lu Zhi Wei was going to enter the production crew.

She took a look at the comments section, then smiled and exited Weibo.

—— What sawing wood, her Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was already proficient!

Then, she received a call from Lu Si Jiao complaining.

“Wuwu why are you dead again……

“I still thought you were part of the main cast so you would be saved in the end and could live for a long time, but…… Wuwu my tears are free……

“Jie, pick a role that’s a little longer-lived next time, live a little longer, don’t be so pitiful……”

Lu Zhi Wei and Wen Yao went to the hotel to put down the luggage first before going to meet Director Liu.

As she walked, Lu Zhi Wei comforted the crying girl on the phone.

“It’s a small supporting role, it’s so common to die early. The extras I did before didn’t live long either.

“Okay okay okay, don’t cry, I’ll definitely live until the ending of the next show, okay?”

Lu Si Jiao slowly said: “Okay……”

Then she obediently hung up to go edit her thesis.

After school started, she was planning to find an internship and train herself.

If she absolutely couldn’t rely on her sister, then she could be like her senior, Sang Wan Ci’s assistant Xiao Qiu, and be an assistant!

After walking through the long corridor, she finally got to the door.

Lu Zhi Wei was texting Sang Wan Ci.

Sang Wan Ci had arrived early today, but Lu Zhi Wei didn’t know which room she was allocated to.

Wen Yao fished out the room card and opened the door.

Lu Zhi Wei lowered her head and looked at her phone, asking: “Xiao Yao, do you know who’s staying on our left and right?”

Wen Yao was just about to say she didn’t know, when the door beside opened.

The two of them looked over to see Xiao Qiu come out from inside.

“Hi! Zhi Wei jie, you guys are here.” Xiao Qiu greeted them enthusiastically.

Lu Zhi Wei paused and blinked, suddenly feeling excited.

——Beside her, her girlfriend was staying beside her! This arrangement was too good!

Hearing “Zhi Wei jie“, Sang Wan Ci immediately stood up and walked out of the room.

Although they had just met recently, that didn’t affect their happiness when they saw each other.

“You’re here.”

“Mm, I’m here.”

They looked at each other, warm happiness in their eyes.

Even if they didn’t say anything else, it was enough to let the other person feel the sweetness.

Wen Yao: “……?”

Xiao Qiu: “……?”

Odd, what was up with this smell of love!

Lu Zhi Wei was the first to snap out of it: “Have you seen Director Liu?”

Sang Wan Ci shook her head: “Not yet, I just reached a while ago. Was waiting for you.”

Lu Zhi Wei smiled: “Okay, then wait for me to put down my luggage, let’s go see him together.”

Sang Wan Ci nodded: “Okay.”

Xiao Qiu suddenly felt like she was an extra.

Wen Yao didn’t mind, she was happy the two of them got along well.

She was happy to see Lu Zhi Wei able to make more friends, it was even better if she could get along well with them.

Just like this investment, didn’t Sang Wan Ci rush over to save her?

After they met Liu Zhao, they met the other actors.

Lu Zhi Wei looked around, feeling relived that she didn’t notice any other halos.

It looks like the two of them could finally rest assured and film.

Sang Wan Ci saw her love rival, Jin Man Wen.

Of course, she was now an ex-love rival.

Jin Man Wen had already taken the initiative to back out of the race to woo Lu Zhi Wei after realising the other time.

At the same time, she had a very profound epiphany.

It was useless, nobody could match up to Sang Wan Ci in Lu Zhi Wei’s heart.

There was such a thing as first-come-first-served in relationships. If there was blame, she could only blame herself for meeting Lu Zhi Wei too late.

Sang Wan Ci looked at Jin Man Wen calmly.

She had confirmed that Jin Man Wen wouldn’t cause any trouble for them in the future, that was good.

The last actress to arrive was Meng Lian Yu.

Because she still had work outside, so she had been delayed.

She was a senior in the industry, and when she arrived, the actors had all taken the initiative to go over and greet her.

Lu Zhi Wei was also one of them.

But she had never been as nervous as she was now.

In the past, she was just a fan. This time, it was different. She was Meng Lian Yu’s niece’s girlfriend.

Suddenly meeting her girlfriend’s family member, anybody would be nervous in her shoes.

Meng Lian Yu and Liu Zhao had met for tea.

Liu Zhao had to leave first because of work, so Meng Lian Yu stayed in the room and waited for Sang Wan Ci to bring Lu Zhi Wei over.

Her fan had won her niece’s heart.

This was something she had never thought about.

Her brother had probably never expected it either.

The next second, a knock sounded on the door.

“Please enter.” Meng Lian Yu said.

Sang Wan Ci opened the door, holding hands with Lu Zhi Wei.

Lu Zhi Wei immediately bowed to Meng Lian Yu once she entered: “Hello, Teacher Meng!”

Meng Lian Yu leaned in slightly, lifting her hand to support her temple as she looked at Lu Zhi Wei with a slight smile.

—— This child was indeed good-looking.

Feeling her idol’s appraising gaze, Lu Zhi Wei didn’t dare to move, staying still as if she had been frozen.

Sang Wan Ci shut the door and called out: “Aunty.”

Meng Lian Yu came back to reality and nodded: “Mm, come sit.”

Sang Wan Ci pulled Lu Zhi Wei to a seat, not letting go of her hand the entire time.

Meng Lian Yu picked up her teacup with a bland expression.

Lu Zhi Wei carefully observed her actions, squeezing Sang Wan Ci’s hand.

The air was silent.

It was so quiet that Lu Zhi Wei could almost hear her own heart beating.

She felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest, and she couldn’t help but start to wonder.

What would Teacher Meng say next?

Could it be that she’s actually very unsatisfied with me?

Would she be like in the shows, slapping me with a check?

Ah, how nervous!

Meng Lian Yu gently put down the teacup and opened her mouth: “Miss Lu.”

“Yes!” Lu Zhi Wei immediately raised her hand and replied.

After she called out, she realised something was wrong, immediately feeling embarrassed: “Yes……”

Meng Lian Yu had been shocked by her sudden action, then she laughed.

Sang Wan Ci gently patted the back of Lu Zhi Wei’s hand, comforting her.

“You don’t need to be so nervous,” Meng Lian Yu said. “I have a good temper.”

Lu Zhi Wei wanted to say she had no way of not being nervous, but when the words reached her lips, it suddenly became: “Okay……”

Omg!

Was it the same for everybody who met their girlfriend’s family members?

It can’t be just me who’s so useless???

Meng Lian Yu’s posture was relaxed: “Miss Lu, I know about you and my niece. I have some questions to ask you, just answer me honestly, don’t be nervous.”

Lu Zhi Wei nodded obediently.

Meng Lian Yu asked directly: “How much do you like Wan Wan?”

Lu Zhi Wei felt this question was easy to answer, yet hard at the same time.

Because she didn’t know what an elder would want to hear.

So she thought about it, then said honestly: “Teacher Meng, I don’t know how to measure how much I like Wan Ci. I only know that after being with her, I’ve started looking forward to the future and planning for every moment to have her.

“Today, tomorrow, the day after, it’s all her.”

Meng Lian Yu raised an eyebrow lightly, asking again: “Then how well can you treat her?

“You have to know, I only have this one niece, her father only has this one daughter.”

Lu Zhi Wei understood what she was insinuating.

She turned to look at Sang Wan Ci, then looked at their intertwined hands.

They had already interlocked their fingers like this countless times.

How well?

Of course it was super, super, super well……

“I’ll cook for her when she’s hungry, I’ll knit gloves and scarfs for her when the weather turns cold, I won’t let her feel lonely when we’re together.

“As long as she needs it, I’ll always find a way to go to her side.

“That’s how well I’ll treat her.”

It was also their daily lives now.

Accompanying each other on the same boat through thick and thin, wasn’t that love?

Meng Lian Yu adjusted her posture, looking at Lu Zhi Wei with gleaming eyes.

“Can you give Wan Ci the life she wants?”

“I can.” Lu Zhi Wei answered without hesitation.

No matter what sort of life Sang Wan Ci wanted, Lu Zhi Wei could give it to her.

Even if she wanted a life like she had in the Meng family, Lu Zhi Wei would work hard to earn money to make it happen!

“Okay, remember your promise.”

After Meng Lian Yu said that, she turned to look at Sang Wan Ci.

“Wan Wan, aunty hopes that you can also guarantee your love for her in such a determined manner in front of her parents.”

Love was mutual.

She wouldn’t allow her niece to be selfish just because she was Sang Wan Ci’s aunt. A love where only one person was putting in the effort wouldn’t last long.

Sang Wan Ci said gently: “Don’t worry Aunty, I will.”

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Wei’s eyes widened slightly, both in surprise and disbelief.

Didn’t that mean she had passed!

Meng Lian Yu nodded, then looked at Lu Zhi Wei again, smiling: “I wish you two happiness.

“Niece-in-law.”

“……”

Lu Zhi Wei’s face immediately flushed red.

She covered her mouth, afraid she would make an embarrassing sound because she was so agitated.

Niece-in-law…… My idol just called me niece-in-law!!

God, was this real, it wasn’t a figment of my imagination?!

Ahhhhhhh —— I’m dead ——

Meng Lian Yu didn’t understand: “What’s wrong with her?”

Sang Wan Ci considerately explained: “Agitated, embarrassed, afraid she’ll embarrass herself in front of you.”

Meng Lian Yu waved a hand: “What’s the big deal, we’re all family.”

Lu Zhi Wei: “!”

Her agitated tears were almost out of control.

She turned towards Sang Wan Ci and said: “Your aunty said we’re a family, wu……”

She couldn’t hold back the sob.

In that moment, she suddenly felt like she had gotten too much.

She had a beautiful love, she had warm friendships and kinship, and she was even able to become a family with the idol she had always liked.

The transparency she endured for the last 26 years felt like it had been cured in this instant.

She was satisfied. Even if life ended at this moment, it was fine.

Sang Wan Ci smiled helplessly, stroking her cheek then pulling her into an embrace.

My Zhi Wei, you’ll get better and better in the future.

After entering the production crew, they had to attend script readings, rehearsals and do makeup.

Because it was a modern show, the process of getting ready was much easier.

After getting everything done, the filming would officially begin.

But on the day that filming was supposed to start, there was suddenly an account on Weibo that came out to malign Sang Wan Ci.

The marketing account vaguely accused her of having an improper relationship with the chairman of the Xing Yi Group, leading the fans to think in a dirty way with the evidence being her “bringing funding to the crew”.

The opponent came aggressively as if they were prepared and just waiting for this day.

#Sang Wan Ci’s financial backer[2]# immediately got on the hot search.

[@Ah Gan]: I was wondering why her resources were so good, turns out she has a financial backer tsk tsk

[@Impressed]: Then she really isn’t wasting her face at all [dog head]

[@Rat]: @Feng He Entertainment your artiste is being smeared, you’re not coming out to clarify???

[@Spell check]: Good fellow, it’s the first time I’ve seen a financial backer rushing onto the hot search. Sang Wan Ci can’t make it, the financial backer won’t even protect her?

[@What?]: Can I watch this show without paying?

Seeing the vicious comments, Zhou Ling Ling felt comfortable.

She couldn’t stand seeing Sang Wan Ci better off than her, couldn’t stand seeing Sang Wan Ci ruin her plans.

She wanted to let Sang Wan Ci suffer a bit too!

Heh, Sang Wan Ci, I’ve exposed you this time, wait and be scolded on the internet!

You saved Lu Zhi Wei, I’d like to see who can save you this time!



Another scene was filmed.

Liu Zhao gave everybody an hour off.

Xiao Qiu immediately ran over to Sang Wan Ci with her phone: “Xiao Sang, Zhang jie is looking for you, there’s a big problem!”

Sang Wan Ci looked at her then took the phone and walked away to answer it.

Lu Zhi Wei walked over and asked Xiao Qiu curiously: “What is it, what big problem?”

Xiao Qiu passed Lu Zhi Wei her own phone: “Look, someone’s slandering Xiao Sang!”

Lu Zhi Wei looked at it, her expression growing more and more speechless.

Sang Wan Ci’s financial backer?

Meng Lang Cheng?

There was nothing on this Earth that could save this marketing account right?

“Zhang jie, you can handle it how you want, I’m fine.”

After saying that, she hung up.

Sang Wan Ci took a bottle of water from Xiao Qiu, as if she wasn’t affected at all.

Lu Zhi Wei asked: “Is it settled?”

Sang Wan Ci: “Zhang jie said she’ll let Xing Yi come out and settle it.”

Lu Zhi Wei blinked: “Got it.”

Xiao Qiu: “?”

She didn’t understand.

When Sang Wan Ci and Zhang Xian Rui talked about Meng Lang Cheng, she wasn’t around.

So what exactly was the relationship between her artiste and Xing Yi???

Lu Zhi Wei calmly patted her shoulder: “There’s only one truth, and that is ——”

Xiao Qiu perked up attentively.

Lu Zhi Wei smiled slightly: “Go take a look at Xing Yi Group’s Weibo.”

Xiao Qiu: “???”



Zhou Ling Ling was eating an orange and revelling in others’ misfortune on the other end.

In the end, her happiness didn’t last for very long before the winds shifted.

Because Xing Yi Group had posted on Weibo.

[@Xing Yi Group]: This shouldn’t be hard to understand.

Then there were two photos attached.

One was of Sang Wan Ci answering a question in an interview: I took my mother’s surname.

One was of Meng Lang Cheng’s Wikipedia page and his spouse’s name: Sang Zhi Qing.

Nobody expected this simple explanation.

Zhou Ling Ling was stunned.

The netizens were stunned.

They knew Meng Lang Cheng, they knew the internationally renowned pianist Sang Zhi Qing.

But they had never thought that Sang Wan Ci was actually their goddamned daughter!!!

The orange in Zhou Ling Ling’s hand dropped onto the floor.

She seemed to have…… kicked an incredible iron plate?

She was frightened, completely frightened.

[1] 旱的旱死,涝的涝死 – This is a saying to depict two extremes. One being a hot place where everybody dies and the other being a flooded place where everybody dies. So in this case, the netizen is saying Sang Wan Ci and Lu Zhi Wei is the extreme where they have so many collaborations, but their own CP doesn’t do anything together at all. 

[2] 金主 – This refers to a financial backer, but there’s usually the insinuation that the person being supported is paying for it with their body, if you know what I mean.
