Chapter 40: Chapter 40 I Don’t Mind Giving You a Few More Slaps
Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Guo’an looked at Su Lianxi with a proud expression, “Lianxi’s audition was highly praised by both the director and the producer! This female lead role has already been secured by Lianxi!”
Su Zixi looked surprised.
So, there was such a good thing? No wonder Su Lianxi acted so magnanimous, saying she wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Su Lianxi was a second-year student in the drama department, always seeking opportunities to act. Now, landing the lead role in Director Chen Xuhua’s new film right upon debut was bound to make her an overnight sensation. No wonder she couldn’t help but feel smug.
Su Lianxi smiled modestly, looking sincerely at Su Zixi, “I have to thank you, sister. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Director Chen.”
Su Zixi sneered, “Really? I don’t mind giving you a few more slaps. No need to thank me.”
Lin Shuyue frowned, “Zixi, how can you talk like that? I knew you couldn’t stand seeing your sister doing well!”
Su Zixi picked up a glass of plain water and took a sip, completely ignoring her words, which made Lin Shuyue furious.
“Zixi, when your sister becomes successful in the future, you can bask in her glory too.” Su Guo’an rubbed his hands together.
“Yes.” Su Lianxi leaned on Ning Yichen’s shoulder, smiling sweetly, “When I enter the entertainment industry, I’ll surely meet many talented young men. I’ll definitely introduce one to you then.”
“No need, just take care of your own man.” Su Zixi said, suddenly feeling a twinge in her nose.
“Of course, I trust Yichen will love me forever.” Su Lianxi looked up at Ning Yichen, full of hope, and asked.
“That’s right.” Ning Yichen smiled faintly, gently hugging her shoulder, “When I was lying on the hospital bed, a vegetable, possibly never to wake up, you stayed by my side without leaving. So, even if I betray anyone, I would never betray you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent. A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Su Lianxi’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared, unnoticed by Ning Yichen.
Su Lianxi smiled tenderly, “Yichen, you’re so good.”
Su Zixi couldn’t help but let out a small snort of laughter.
Lin Shuyue was enraged, “Su Zixi, what are you laughing at?”
But no matter how hard she tried, her expression seemed fierce but lacking confidence, unable to hide the trace of nervousness in her eyes.
Of course, she was nervous. Although Ning Yichen now firmly believed that the person who cared for him was Lianxi, if Su Zixi recklessly exposed the truth, it would sow a seed of doubt in Ning Yichen’s heart.
And if that happened, the results would be disastrous.
Su Zixi smiled brightly, raising the glass in her hand, “The plain water tastes good. I laugh when I’m happy. What’s wrong, can’t I even laugh?”
Lin Shuyue choked for a moment, thinking about maintaining her image in front of her future son-in-law, she had to suppress her anger.
Su Guo’an broke the tension, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.”
Ning Yichen, however, instinctively cast his gaze towards Su Zixi.
Today, she had simply dressed up. Her long hair was tied diagonally, revealing her bright features. Paired with that sneering expression, she exuded a unique charm.
Ning Yichen’s gaze deepened slightly.
He found Su Zixi’s expression genuine and cute.
Even though Lianxi was also very beautiful, she always presented herself in the most suitable attire, hairstyle, and smile arc for her. She was like a delicate doll. Her tone was always gentle, always understanding. After a while, Ning Yichen felt something was missing.
He wanted to see the real her, but Su Lianxi, however, was unwilling to show any lapse in front of him.
