Una became speechless due to Jing Qian’s words. She didn’t know how to continue with that conversation, but she had no other choice.
“Qianqian, this is indeed Jing Lu’s fault. You are her elder sister but she seduced your boyfriend when you weren’t around. But you know Qin Yi well; he’s just someone who’s really soft-hearted. We should just let bygones be bygones. We’re humans, not god. We’re allowed to make mistakes in our lives, right?”
As Jing Qian listened to what she had to say, she looked at the street opposite of her, seeing a middle-aged man feeding ice-cream to a young girl who was at least 20 years younger than him.
They were feeding ice cream to one another, the looks in their eyes were filled with so much love.
As Una continued talking on the phone, the smile on Jing Qian’s face grew and she took a few pictures of the scene that she was seeing.
“You called me just to tell me all this?”
“There’s another issue,” Una said in a stern tone. “I’ve decided on the cast for ‘Mirror World.’ I just need you to sign some paperwork tomorrow at the office.”
Jing Qian’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes deviated upwards, forming a nice-looking curve. This time, it wasn’t because the words sounded funny.
She had no idea what the other party was saying…
“You’re just a manager, but you’re casting for the show? When did you become the producer and the director?”
Una fell into a deep silence for a while. Then, her voice suddenly rose an octave higher as she began screaming at her.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong with you?! Have you forgotten about our promise?!”
Upon hearing her reply, Jing Qian immediately understood what had happened. It must have been one of the things that the previous owner did for Qin Yi and his family.
“Oh… I fell from the stairs yesterday and suffered from a small concussion. I also lost part of my memory.”
Una became speechless, the words sounding like a joke to her.
“Have you forgotten about ‘Mirror World’?”
“Not everything about it. I still remember that it’s a drama that the Zhan family invested in for me. I’m the female lead.”
“No, but here’s what happened.” Una quickly explained, “Huanrui Entertainment has also invested in this drama. Therefore, in order for Qin Yi to be the first male lead, Yunxiao from Huanrui can only act as the second lead.
“However, Yunxiao is a well-known actor and he comes with a really strong background. In order for him to let go of the role of the first male lead, I negotiated with them and Huanrui finally gave their reply. If Zhongbo agrees to let go 20 pips and allow Yan Meiqi to be the first female lead, Yunxiao wouldn’t mind being the second lead.”
“Hold up!” Jing Qian felt that something wasn’t right, and she immediately questioned Una. “Why is Qin Yi acting as the first male lead in a drama that the Zhan family invested in for me? I was supposed to be the first female lead, so why do I have to give it up to Yan Meiqi?
“What you’re saying is that I have to be the second lead in a drama that the Zhan family invested in for me? Additionally, they have to give up on 20 pips? Is there something wrong with your brain?”
Una became extremely mad when she heard Jing Qian disagreeing with her suggestion, saying sternly “What on earth is wrong with you, Jing Qian? Did you break your head yesterday when you fell? You were the one who agreed to giving up everything that you have in order to help Qin Yi. I’ve gone out of my way to discuss this matter with all the producers, and now that they’ve agreed, the only thing left to do is for you to sign the documents. Zhongbo will be giving up on 20 pips and Qin Yi will be offered a role. If you’re asking questions now, all my precious effort before this will have gone the drain.”
Jing Qian laughed out of anger, as she was getting triggered by Una.
For her entire life, she was the only one who cheated others. She would always avenge towards those who tried cheating her, and make sure they regretted doing it.
