Guan Meiyi obediently sat down and looked at Ling Tianya. She didn’t know when it had started, but she had stopped rejected her cousin and now admired her.
Human emotions are a mysterious thing. She had previously loathed Ling Tianya and constantly thought of ways to go against her. In the end, she was the one who always failed. However, now, after everything she had been through, she was able to calmly sit beside Ling Tianya, her heart devoid of jealousy and hate.
“Thank you for defending me just now,” Ling Tianya faintly said.
Guan Meiyi was shocked, and then she remembered how she had been unable to contain herself when the women were gossiping about Ling Tianya. It seems that at that time, Ling Tianya had already arrived.
Guan Meiyi smiled and hung her head. “I was only judging the matter as it stands. I know that you are not as they say online. You wouldn’t do anything like that. Grandmother has been cruel to you since you were young. If you wanted to do something to her, you would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now?”
Guan Meiyi lifted her head and looked at Ling Tianya. Seeing her rosy complexion and stable state of mind, it seemed as if she was not at all affected by the rumors online. “Sometimes, I really admire you. You are always cool and collected no matter what happens. I can never do that,” Guan Meiyi said.
“After many experiences, I have learned to do it.” Ling Tianya responded with indifference.
Guan Meiyi’s eyes changed and she nodded her head. “You have definitely been through a lot. Why are you looking for me?”
Ling Tianya held out a script and placed it in front of Guan Meiyi. “Look over it and inspect it carefully.”
Guan Meiyi relaxed and she opened the script. “Is this Wonderland?”
“Yes. This is my new collaboration with Zhiya Entertainment.”
Guan Meiyi was a little confused as she looked at the script. “I know that you want to take care of me and want me to have a role in a film. However, I don’t need your concern. It isn’t good for either of us. You will be talked about. I want to rely on my own ability, not my connections.”
Ling Tianya smiled, but her gaze was serious. “You have misunderstood. I am not taking care of you. You know that I always keep private and business matters separate.”
“Then…” Guan Meiyi didn’t understand.
“I just watched you act and I have discussed you with Director Li. I feel that you are very suited for this movie.”
“I…am very suited?” Hearing this, Guan Meiyi suddenly felt as if she was being pampered. In the past, Ling Tianya had scoffed at her acting. Now, she was saying that Guan Meiyi was suited to a part in her movie. Does that mean that her acting skills had been recognized? Thinking this, Guan Meiyi’s heart almost floated.
“Don’t be happy too early. You are skills are still very far below those with true strength.”
Guan Meiyi was speechless. She had just been given a wonderful gift and then it had been snatched away. She was in real pain.
“However, you put all of your heart into your role. That is good and is something that many skilled actors are deficient in. Many of them have perfected their ability to feign and have therefore mastered their acting skills. However, at the end of the day, they are still acting. I don’t want acting. I want someone who can fully devote themselves to their characters and display true emotions.”
Guan Meiyi looked at Ling Tianya in shock. Was she still being praised?
“Then what role do you want me to play?” Guan Meiyi saw that the role had yet to be revealed. She discounted the main lead and the second lead and started thinking of the supporting characters.
“I want you to play the main lead.”
Ling Tianya’s voice suddenly penetrated through Guan Meiyi’s ears and into her heart. Guan Meiyi was left in shock.
