“Because… you’re no longer a three-year-old child. You don’t need Mommy to sleep with you anymore,” Su Zhuoqian said to him calmly. His tone was extremely serious.
Jingyun said, “But you’re not either.”
“But there’s no way for the two of you to share a room with Mommy.”
Xiao Bao glanced at Jingyun, snorted, and turned around.
Jingyun didn’t look at him either.
Since the two of them could not sleep with Mommy and were unwilling to let the other monopolize Mommy, they had no choice but to let Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian stay together.
…
After Qiao Weiyang returned to the country, she quickly returned to the production team and continued filming.
Lu Mingjue came over and handed her a doc.u.ment. “Sister-in-law, it’s the Golden Crown Film Awards. The award ceremony is in three days. This is the admission process. Take a look first.”
Qiao Weiyang took it and quickly scanned it. “I’ve seen many marketing accounts mention that Qiao Jierou has good chances of winning the Best Female Lead award. Is there any internal news?”
“It’s normal for Qiao Jierou to spend money to build momentum. I asked around and found out that she has indeed met the higher-ups.”
“If the higher-ups can be convinced by her, it means that this award is just so-so. There’s no need for us to do the same things as Qiao Jierou.”
Qiao Weiyang could think things through and was open-minded. Lu Mingjue stood up with a smile. “Okay, let’s go with the flow.”
Lu Mingjue felt relaxed and comfortable working with such an artiste.
In this industry, there were indeed compet.i.tions. There were only so many resources. No artiste would be spoon fed these resources.
Everyone more or less had their own thoughts. But Lu Mingjue’s bottom line was that it didn’t matter if they fought for resources or used tricks, as long as they didn’t step on other people.
Coincidentally, Qiao Weiyang had the same personality. Even if she wanted to fight, she would do it openly. It was much more pleasant to cooperate with people who had the same ideals.
After Lu Mingjue left, Qiao Weiyang received a call from Lu Wenhui.
She picked it up. “Aunt Wenhui.”
“Weiyang, you know about Celine’s arrival in S Country, right?”
“Yes, I do.”
Lu Wenhui’s voice was filled with joy. “You introduced such a big partner to me without saying anything. Tell me, what do you want? I’ll prepare it for you.”
“Aunt Hui, you think I did that because I wanted to get a gift from you?” Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “From your tone, you seem to have struck a good collaboration plan with Celine?”
“Yes, we’ve already discussed it. Celine is swift and decisive. She does have some standards. We even arranged to have a meal together. She even said to bring you along. When you have time, let’s meet up.”
“Alright, I’ll contact you after I confirm with my manager.” Qiao Weiyang put down her cell phone.
“Alright. Celine has already agreed to sponsor the Golden Crown Film Awards. When the time comes, the organizers will contact you. If there are no artistes endorsing jewelry brands, the organizers will provide them with Celine’s jewelry.When the time comes, I’ll get Celine to save you the best one.”
“Okay.” Qiao Weiyang agreed immediately. “You guys didn’t mention my name in front of the organizers, right?”
“No, you didn’t even personally introduce Celine to the organizers. How can I not understand what you want? Don’t worry, I know your plan. You won’t use the resources you already have to seek other things. You want to stand at the starting line fair and square. I understand. Don’t worry.”
After Lu Wenhui ended the call, Qiao Weiyang was about to put on her makeup again to film when another call came in.
Seeing that it was a call from her grandfather, Qiao Weiyang picked it up and said gently, “Grandpa.”
“I heard that you’re back in the country? Are you busy? Have you been eating your meals?”
“Yes, Grandpa. It’s just the usual workflow. I’m not particularly busy.”
“If you have time, come over and see me, alright?”
“Alright, then I’ll come over after work tonight.”
“Mhm.”
After a day of filming, Qiao Weiyang specially went to buy Old Master Qiao’s favorite walnut pastry before rus.h.i.+ng to the sanatorium.
Seeing that Old Master Qiao was in good spirits, Qiao Weiyang was in a good mood. She placed the things on the cabinet beside her and went forward to say, “Grandpa, are you alright?”
“I’m good.” Old Master Qiao was reading a book with his reading gla.s.ses. When he saw Qiao Weiyang, he put down the book and patted her hand. “Come, walk with me in the courtyard.”
Qiao Weiyang put on a jacket for him before walking out of the room.
In the back courtyard of the sanatorium, the air was fresh and pleasant. Walking here made one feel relaxed and happy.
Old Master Qiao was in a good mood. He smiled and asked, “I heard that there’s a film award coming up?”
“Yeah, just a few days from now.”
“It’s a rare award, isn’t it?”
“It’s alright, but the purity of the gold trophy is quite high. However, winning an award is up to fate,” Qiao Weiyang smiled and said.
Old Master Qiao admired her att.i.tude. She was very open-minded about everything, but at the same time, she was hardworking. When the opportunity came, she would be able to handle it.
“Weiyang, I called you here today because I have something important to tell you.”
Seeing that he was tired from walking, Qiao Weiyang helped him sit down on the bench. “Take your time.”
“I’m old. Everything in the family should belong to you. I also know that my body can’t be compared to before. Sooner or later, I’ll have to let you take over this family. It’s almost time to pa.s.s the family a.s.sets to you.”
Old Master Qiao said earnestly and lovingly to Qiao Weiyang.
“Grandpa, let’s do as you say,” Qiao Weiyang said.
“Then after the film festival, this matter will be settled,” Old Master Qiao said. “I’m telling you this so that you can be mentally prepared. I also want to tell you that the Qiao family still needs you. I know that Jierou has caused you a lot of trouble, but I don’t want the Qiao family to fall just like that. Although this is very unfair to you, but…”
He was full of guilt.
Qiao Weiyang understood his feelings. How could he hand over the family business that he had built single-handedly to someone he was worried about? Qiao Jierou was not fully mature and could not take over the family business and control the company.
He still needed someone to hold on to everything.
It was not completely unreasonable for her grandfather to place his hopes on her.
“Grandpa, let’s do as you wish. I can accept everything. I don’t like some people in the family, but I’m still your granddaughter and the elder sister of Qiao Dongliang.”
Old Master Qiao looked at her in relief. How could such a magnanimous and reasonable child suffer so much?
Qiao Weiyang accompanied Old Master Qiao for a while before leaving.
She had just left when Old Madam Qiao brought Qiao Jierou over.
