3505 Call Me Sister-in-Law
Right after Xie Jiling finished her meal, she received a friend request on WeChat.
She looked at it and found it was from Xiao Liang, so she accepted the request.
Xiao Liang: “Third Young Master’s Wife!”
“…” This form of address made Xie Jiling’s heart tremble along with her body. “Just call me ‘Xie Jiling.’”
!!
Xiao Liang: “Will do, Third Young Master’s Wife.”
Xie Jiling was speechless.
“Third Young Master’s Wife, I’m afraid of disturbing you while you’re in cla.s.s, so I won’t give you a call when I arrive at your school. I’ll send you a message via WeChat instead,” Xiao Liang said.
“Okay.” Xie Jiling gave up trying to correct Xiao Liang’s way of addressing her.
After their meal, they returned to the dormitory. Xie Jiling had a short nap before heading to cla.s.s.
The cla.s.s ended precisely at 3 p.m.
Xie Jiling hurriedly packed up her things and said goodbye to Ren Linna and the others. Then she rushed off campus.
She got into Xiao Liang’s car, and they drove off.
Xie Jiling had no idea that people at school were still having discussions about her.
“Is Xie Jiling in a relations.h.i.+p with someone who is the second generation of a wealthy family?”
“In the morning, I happened to overhear that man on the phone. It seemed like he was that family’s chauffeur who came here to pick up and drop off Xie Jiling,” someone said. “He even addressed her as ‘Third Young Master’s Wife’.”
“Is that true?”
“The car outside now doesn’t look the same as the one from this morning.”
“This car’s even bigger and more expensive.”
“It seems she really is dating someone wealthy.”
Xie Jiling had no idea about these discussions.
Right now, she was sitting comfortably in the car.
This time, Old Mrs. Han had Xiao Liang drive a bigger and more luxurious car.
It was s.p.a.cious, and a small fridge was embedded in between the back seats. There were even snacks on top of it.
Xiao Liang then said, “Old Mrs. Han had me change to this car before coming over. She said that since those people love gossiping so much, just let them look all they want.”
“Grandma knows about it?” Xie Jiling was surprised.
“Of course. I noticed there was something off about the gazes of those people. I didn’t know if you had noticed, so I didn’t mention it. However, I was afraid they would misunderstand, so when I called up Old Mrs. Han, I took the chance to clarify the situation to them loudly.”
“I noticed, but it didn’t bother me. You don’t need to feel bothered by their gazes either,” Xie Jiling said.
“I’m fine. I was just afraid that Third Young Master would get revenge on me later when he finds out,” Xiao Liang said with a chuckle.
The three Han brothers all had extremely jealous natures.
As such, Xiao Liang couldn’t say that the matter had nothing to do with him. He cherished his life after all.
Xie Jiling felt really embarra.s.sed when Xiao Liang made fun of the situation.
Xiao Liang then said, “There are drinks in the fridge. Take whatever you want. Additionally, the cabinet above it is filled with snacks. Old Mrs. Han had Auntie Sun put them all in there. She said the journey to the set is quite long and was afraid you’d get bored.”
“Ah, also, there’s a stand on the back of the front seats that you can use to place your tablet or phone on. It will make for a much more comfortable viewing experience when you watch videos,” he added.
To begin with, the car was s.p.a.cious, so it was extremely comfortable to sit in it.
Moreover, the ride was very smooth.
There wasn’t even much of a shock even when the car went over a speed hump.
Xie Jiling took out her tablet and Bluetooth earphones, then she placed the tablet onto the stand, fixing it in place. She was very comfortable throughout the whole journey as she ate and drank as she wished.
Sure enough, the journey was completed before she knew it.
In fact, when they arrived at the set, Xie Jiling was a bit reluctant to get out of the car.
She was still in the middle of watching an episode of a romance drama.
Nevertheless, she got out of the car, and Xiao Liang accompanied Xie Jiling to the set entrance.
Obviously, Han Zhuofeng had already informed the security guard in advance.
Additionally, Xie Jiling had been to the set before, so the security guard recognized her.
So, the moment he saw her, he didn’t stop her from entering the set.
The security guard exchanged greetings with her and let her in.
Xie Jiling was also pretty familiar with the set.
After all, when Han Zhuofeng was afraid there was something in the set previously, he had taken Xie Jiling to every part of the set, and they visited even the unremarkable corners.
So, Xie Jiling didn’t need someone to guide her, as she easily found the filming area on her own.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya usually sat under the shade of an umbrella.
Once the filming of a scene was completed, she would go touch up the cast’s makeup.
She didn’t have much to do while the cast members were filming.
It was actually pretty boring to watch the filming process.
It was different from watching the finished product that aired on television.
This was especially so when there were bad takes, and they had to film the same scene again. It was truly quite boring.
So, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya would normally be playing with her phone.
However, she couldn’t always keep staring at her phone; it was bad for her eyes.
From time to time, she would lift her gaze and look around her. Looking at greenery was good for the eyes.
It just so happened that when s.h.i.+ Xiaoya turned her head to look around this time, she saw Xie Jiling walking over.
Pleasantly surprised, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stood up and ran over to Xie Jiling.
“Are you here to see Zhuofeng?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya asked with a smile.
“Mmhm.” Xie Jiling nodded. “My cla.s.ses are done for the day, so I came over. I’ll go back to school tomorrow.”
“You just started dating him. Oh, how sweet,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to him.”
“He’s just over there. Do you see him?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya pointed at somewhere nearby to show Xie Jiling.
Xie Jiling saw him. Han Zhuofeng was sitting behind the monitor for the film camera, watching the cast members’ performance.
“Cut!” Han Zhuofeng yelled out. Then he said to the actor, “Pay attention to where you’re walking!”
After that, he went over to the actor and spoke to the latter again.
Han Zhuofeng wasn’t satisfied with the actor’s mood earlier either.
“All right, continue.” Han Zhuofeng clapped his hands. “Lift your spirits, cast. Just work hard for a bit more. We need to get through this scene!”
Han Zhuofeng then returned to the monitor.
He was so absorbed in his work that he didn’t notice Xie Jiling.
Xie Jiling didn’t disturb him. She stopped some distance away from him and said to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, “He’s still working, so I’ll wait for this scene to finish filming before going over.”
“Okay.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stayed there to accompany her. “Oh, right. Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat anything?”
Xie Jiling shook her head. “Grandma prepared a lot of food and drinks. My mouth never had time to rest the whole journey here.”
As such, the two people simply waited in silence.
Fortunately, the actor was feeling a lot of pressure.
It was particularly because there were many people present, and Yan Zhiqing had been with him through the many bad takes he had caused.
As such, they finally got through the scene.
“Good. Prepare for the next scene!” Han Zhuofeng said.
Yan Zhiqing went back to prepare and found that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya wasn’t there.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya immediately said to Xie Jiling, “I’ll go touch up Zhiqing’s makeup.”
“Go ahead,” Xie Jiling said.
Unexpectedly, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya didn’t leave in a hurry and instead stopped to look at Xie Jiling.
“Seems like you haven’t greeted me since you got here,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
“Ah, Miss Xiaoya.” Xie Jiling obediently made up for her mistake at once.
“Call me ‘Sister-in-Law’,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said immediately.
Xie Jiling was speechless.
“Are you too shy to call me that?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya asked with a mischievous grin.
Xie Jiling didn’t know what to say.
“You’ll have to change the way you address me sooner or later anyway,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said. “Start now, and you’ll get used to it sooner!”
Xie Jiling did not expect s.h.i.+ Xiaoya to be this mischievous.
“I’m going to look for Han Zhuofeng!” Xie Jiling said and rushed off.
She was really afraid that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya would chase after her and insist that she called her ‘Sister-in-Law’.
Fortunately, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya peacefully went over to patch Yan Zhiqing’s makeup.
