Chapter 452: Can’t Replace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liang Xun was stunned by Jing Yao’s question and didn’t know how to answer.
Looking at Jing Yao’s pitiful eyes, she looked like she was about to cry.
Liang Xun braced himself and said, “She probably thinks that the role today isn’t that good, so she sent you a better one.”
Jing Yao didn’t believe that. After all, she knew that Zhu Ling actually thought that the role of Xiaokui was very good.
The two of them were in a deadlock when Zhu Ling sent her next voice message.
Zhu Ling said, “1 just asked a friend I know. They stayed until the end. There’s still a chance of your audition succeeding today, but your compet.i.tors are very strong, especially Jiang Ying. She’s been in the limelight recently, and it’s publicly acknowledged by the netizens that her acting skills are good. It’s not easy to beat her, so we can’t wait fearlessly. We have to be prepared for failure. You have to prepare for this role seriously. If there’s no problem with the production team, this script won’t lose to Chen Xin’s.”
Jing Yao was speechless for a long time after hearing Zhu Ling’s words.
Seeing her dazed look, Liang Xun thought that she felt too pressured and comforted her. “This seamless acceptance of jobs is indeed quite tiring. I think we should forget it. Rest for a while. It won’t be too late to slowly prepare other things after you rest. We can also wait for the results of today’s audition.”
Jing Yao shook her head slightly, still looking a little dazed.
Liang Xun frowned slightly, worried about Jing Yao’s condition.
He had witnessed Shen Yu’s growth in the entertainment industry and knew that this path was not easy. It was not as glamorous as the netizens saw. Only those who had experienced it could feel the bitterness.
She was in the entertainment industry and had so many people watching her. There were also so many netizens and fans watching online. Nothing could go wrong.
It was actually quite difficult to achieve perfection in everything.
Liang Xun always said that he supported Jing Yao, but when he saw Jing Yao working hard on the script and even going out to look for similar scenes to comprehend the role in order to better experience the role, he had the urge to persuade Jing Yao to give up.
However, he suppressed it every time.
Loving someone was not to trip her up in the name of good, but to do her best to help her, both materially and spiritually.
Hence, Liang Xun had never said these words. At this moment, he had the urge to persuade Jing Yao to give up on this path, but he suppressed it.
Liang Xun was still thinking about how to persuade Jing Yao when Jing Yao muttered, “1 realize that I’m a failure. If it weren’t for Lingling, I probably wouldn’t have achieved anything.”
Liang Xun did not understand why she said that.
Jing Yao said to herself, “Actually, there are many times when I have the thought of giving up. There are a few times when I feel like I have nowhere to go. I actually want to tell Lingling to forget it, but every time I see Lingling, she’s like a perpetual motion machine that never gets tired. I can’t say those words. She’s been persevering for me. I don’t think 1 have a reason to give up.”
Jing Yao’s eyes turned red as she spoke.
Liang Xun had mixed feelings. He had always known that Zhu Ling was very important and special to Jing Yao.
He was also sincerely grateful for Zhu Ling’s help to Jing Yao in the past.
However, although he was grateful, he couldn’t help but feel jealous when he heard Jing Yao talk about Zhu Ling.
He even thought that if he had known Jing Yao a few years earlier, he would stand by Jing Yao’s side on behalf of Zhu Ling when Jing Yao needed help the most.
These thoughts were too absurd. He also knew that it was impossible. Zhu Ling was too special to Jing Yao, and he couldn’t replace her.
“Liang Xun, go to sleep first. 1’11 sort out this script.” Jing Yao took a deep breath and her mental state changed instantly.
She looked energetic.
Liang Xun even had the illusion that Jing Yao could easily complete a io-kilometer marathon now.
It was as if she had been injected with stimulants.
Thinking that these changes were because of Zhu Ling, Liang Xun almost felt jealous.
He glanced at the clock on the wall and deliberated over his words. He advised, “We’ll read it tomorrow. It’s too late today. 1 don’t think it’s efficient to read the script. We should pay attention to efficient work.”
He was right, but Jing Yao couldn’t listen to him at all. No matter how Liang Xun persuaded her, she stayed in the study and read the script for an hour.
If she did not sleep, Liang Xun naturally could not return to his room. He stayed in the study to read the script with her and occasionally discussed it with her..
