Chapter 222 - Let Her Go!
Qiao Qing asked again, “Do you enjoy acting?”
Lin Xiyan nodded aggressively, “Yes!”
Qiao Qing, “You have chosen this path?”
Lin Xiyan shook her head, “I’ve taken no art classes so I wasn’t even able to apply for an art major. I can go around being an extra during breaks, but to become an actual actor, that would be far too difficult.”
Qiao Qing, “Then why not take some acting classes first?”
“Acting classes are too costly,” Lin Xiyan said, “My family’s situation isn’t the greatest. Plus, my dad’s health requires him to go to the hospital a lot. I don’t want my mom to be too tired.”
Qiao Qing was stifled. Ever since she could remember, money to her has always been merely a number.
But she had forgotten just how much people suffer because of it.
Not everyone was lucky like her when it came to money.
She easily could just tell those two that she didn’t need the medical money back, but they have their own pride – enough to borrow money with such a high interest. It was unlikely that they’d agree to never pay her back.
Thinking about this, Qiao Qing changed the subject, “Have you read Feng Ci’s book?”
Lin Xiyan shook her head, “My school and study schedule was intense so I never had the time to read non-academic books. However, I do know about the author. She’s great! Many people are her fans!”
Qiao Qing smiled, “I’ll ask someone to give you her book. If you get the time, you can read it and really think about the female lead character, Lan Xi.
“Oh… Oh! Okay!”
Lin Xiyan had no idea why Qiao Qing wanted her to read and analyze the character. However, since she asked, she must have a good reason!
Qiao Qing patted her head, “Go back now. If Fu Siying tries to give you a hard time again, someone will protect you.”
“Qingqing, you’re the best!” Lin Xiyan smiled and pushed her head into Qiao Qing’s palm.
“Ehem, ehem…” A cough interrupted those two’s interaction. Yi Qinghan stood on the side with the gift box. He looked at Lin Xiyan, “The next scene needs you. The director has asked you to go prepare.”
“Ah? I’m on my way!” Lin Xiyan hurriedly waved her hand at Qiao Qing, “Qingqing, I’ll go back first.”
Qiao Qing nodded.
After Lin Xiyan left, Qiao Qing wanted to leave as well, but Yi Qinghan said, “Do you have time?”
Qiao Qing paused, “What is it?”
Yi Qinghan said, “You broke my glass. I need compensation.”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Speechless for a long while, Qiao Qing finally muttered, “That was a gift from me.”
“I know.” Yi Qinghan said, “You gifted it to me, so it’s mine. I got emotionally attached to it. So, now that you have broken it, you need to make up for it.”
“…” Qiao Qing took out her phone to transfer him some money. Before she could even press a button on her phone, Yi Qinghan had already grabbed onto her wrist, “Come with me and buy me a new one.”
Qiao Qing, “You’re done acting for the day?”
Yi Qinghan, “I just told director Shen. He pushed all my scenes to tomorrow.”
Qiao Qing’s lips were pursed into one straight line.
“Don’t tell me you don’t have the time.” Yi Qinghan said, “My number one scholar. The entrance exam is over. There’s no way you don’t have the time to do a little shopping with me. We haven’t seen each other in years. Plus, it’s rare for me to visit the City of Brisk…”
“Where are we going?” Qiao Qing was impatient by his words and interrupted him.
Yi Qinghan immediately smiled, “Just follow me.”
Then, he made a call, “Get my car here.”
Before long, a black Lamborghini arrived by the sidewalk.
“Qingqing, let’s go,” Yi Qinghan announced. He grabbed Qiao Qing’s wrist and tried to get into the car.
Just then, an extremely angry and magnetic voice pierced the sky, “Let her go!”
