Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

s.h.i.+ Lu swallowed hard and prepared to sneak out when the two of them werent paying attention. Unexpectedly, s.h.i.+ Xiao stopped s.h.i.+ Lu just as he took a step back.

s.h.i.+ Xiao gave s.h.i.+ Lu a smile that he thought was kind, but to s.h.i.+ Lu, it looked very threatening. Come, sit down and eat.

s.h.i.+ Lu felt that his back was sweating and he wanted to scream for help! Someone, please save him!

Zhang Zhang was usually very talkative, so s.h.i.+ Lu prayed that she would call him immediately!

Perhaps his prayers had worked, but his phone really rang. He immediately took out his phone and answered it in excitement without even looking at who it was. h.e.l.lo!

s.h.i.+ Lu? Im w.a.n.g Shen. I want to inform you that you and Yuan Shu will come over to try out a scene tomorrow.

Are you auditioning tomorrow?

When he heard that it was w.a.n.g Shen, s.h.i.+ Lu felt dejected again. The director must have called to let him join the production team. He hadnt rested enough yet, so why did he have to start work again so soon?! When he heard that it was just an audition, he perked up again.

Fortunately, it was just an audition. s.h.i.+ Lu and w.a.n.g Shen discussed the time before hanging up.

As soon as he hung up, s.h.i.+ Lu immediately realized that he wanted Yuan Shu to audition! Her brother didnt like the entertainment industry to begin with, so now that he had even brought his sister-in-law into the entertainment industry, her brother definitely wouldnt let him off!

s.h.i.+ Lus forehead started to sweat.

At this moment, Yuan Shu also gave him a gentle smile. Come over quickly. I made your favorite dish, boiled meat slices.

Yuan Shu was the one who said this, so s.h.i.+ Lu didnt feel so stressed anymore.

s.h.i.+ Lu thought to himself, Its a blessing, not a curse. If its a curse, I cant avoid it. After mentally preparing himself, he sat down in the empty seat between the two of them.

When Yuan Shu heard that the call was about an audition, she knew that it was related to her, so she asked, Is it Director w.a.n.g?

s.h.i.+ Lu nodded stiffly and peeked at s.h.i.+ Xiao from the corner of his eye, but s.h.i.+ Xiao was focused on eating and ignored the two of them. Only then did s.h.i.+ Lu feel slightly relieved.

Director w.a.n.g said that theres a scene tomorrow afternoon and wants the two of us to go together.

Okay. Yuan Shu agreed.

s.h.i.+ Xiao suddenly asked, Why didnt I know that my wife had suddenly entered the entertainment industry and learned how to act?

He enunciated each word clearly in a very calm tone, but to s.h.i.+ Lu, it sounded like he was suppressing his anger.

However, Yuan Shu didnt care at all and said calmly, Im very interested in a script, so I think I can give it a try.

s.h.i.+ Xiao didnt ask Yuan Shu. Instead, he looked at s.h.i.+ Lu and asked, Did you recommend her?

s.h.i.+ Lu felt as if there was a gun pointed at her forehead. This was more thrilling than any other scene he had filmed! Would he be punished on the spot tonight?!

Yes s.h.i.+ Lu stammered.

s.h.i.+ Xiao repeated, Yes? What do you mean?

Perhaps Yuan Shu could tell that s.h.i.+ Lu was in a difficult position, so she answered for him, It was my own idea.

Then, Yuan Shu roughly explained what happened that night.

After listening to her explanation, s.h.i.+ Xiao said uncharacteristically, Then Ill go with you guys tomorrow.

Yuan Shu was stunned. Accompanying her to the audition wasnt within their agreement, was it?

However, s.h.i.+ Lu was right beside her, so Yuan Shu didnt ask and only nodded lightly.

s.h.i.+ Lu watched as the two of them communicated. The boiled meat slices in his mouth were no longer that tasty, so he put down his chopsticks after taking two bites. I accompanied Zhang Zhang out to eat in the afternoon, so Im already full. Ill go back to my room first. I wont disturb Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law anymore!

The two of them nodded. s.h.i.+ Lu didnt hear them speak anymore even until he entered the room.

s.h.i.+ Lu was puzzled.. What was going on? Didnt his brother dislike his sister-in-law? Not only did they move back together today, but he was even willing to accompany his sister-in-law to the audition tomorrow! Pigs must be flying!
