Ye Qingwan reached out to take the bowl, but Yunxi stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist.
"Second sister-in-law is not a servant, why do you do these servants' jobs?"
Ye Qingwan smiled and compromised: "It's okay, I'm not tired."
"Qingwan!" Mr. Tang frowned and said, "Xiao Xi is right, you are the daughter-in-law of the Tang family, and you are not allowed to do these servant jobs in the future."
I don’t know how many times the elderly have said these words.
However, Ye Qingwan was soft-tempered and always kept silent about any grievances she had. Mr. Tang was also helpless sometimes.
After all, he couldn't protect her all the time.
When the old man spoke, Mu Xiaoyun couldn't say anything else, so she had to hand her soup bowl to the maid.
"Second sister-in-law!" Yun Xi smiled and handed the chopsticks to Ye Qingwan, "Eat it while it's hot."
"Thanks!"
Ye Qingwan took the chopsticks and smiled gratefully at her.
Because of Yunxi's presence, the three of them had a very boring meal, so they reluctantly finished the meal and left.
After Ye Qingwan finished eating, Yunxi immediately put down his soup bowl.
"Second sister-in-law, follow me to the small hall. I have something to tell you."
Ye Qingwan hurriedly untied her apron and followed Yun Xi to a small hall.
"Xiao Xi, what's going on?"
Pulling her to sit on the sofa, Yunxi smiled and said, "I have something I would like to ask my second sister-in-law for help with."
Ye Qingwan agreed: "Say it, as long as I can do it."
Ever since Yunxi came to the Tang family, Ye Qingwan has always cared for her, doting on her almost as if she were his own sister.
Ye Qingwan also always responded to Yunxi's requests.
"Then it's settled. My friend's company has a movie to start filming, and there is a role in it that you want to help me act."
"This won't work." Ye Qingwan waved her hands hurriedly, "I haven't been on stage for many years. Besides, singing and acting are not exactly the same thing."
"Second sister-in-law, please stop being modest." Yun Xi took out a copy of the novel "The Journey of Jin Yi Xing" from her bag and handed it to her, "This is the original novel. You can read it first and I will let you know when the audition is held."
When she originally wrote this novel, the character "Hua Qiniang" in the play was based on Ye Qingwan.
When the filming of the movie in the previous life was started and no suitable actors could be found, Yunxi once roped in Ye Qingwan.
At that time, Ye Qingwan won the Best Supporting Actress Award for this role.
From then on, he opened a new chapter in his career in the entertainment industry.
This time, the movie has restarted filming. How can it be done without Ye Qingwan?
Having known Ye Qingwan for two lifetimes, Yunxi understands her.
Although Ye Qingwan has not been on stage for many years, she has never let go of the stage in her heart.
All she needs is a chance.
In Yunxi's mind, Ye Qingwan is no different than a biological sister.
Such a pearl should not be gathering dust in the dark.
Ye Qingwan was startled when she saw the novel in her hand.
"That's what you're talking about. I've seen it. The author writes it very well. The characters are flesh and blood, especially the character of Hua Qiniang. Every time I watch it, it's like seeing myself. It's just... I'm not as good as her.
.”
"Who said that the second sister-in-law is better than Hua Qiniang?" Yunxi solemnly put the novel into her palm and said coquettishly, "Just...do me a favor."
Ye Qingwan stroked the cover of the novel with her fingers and was silent for a long time.
After a while, she raised her face and looked at Yun Xi with some unconfidence.
"Xiao Xi, am I really good?"
"You are a national first-class actor, why can't you do it?"
"That's how many years have passed. What's more, Zimo will be in his senior year of high school soon. I'm worried..."
"Let's do this!" Yun Xi patted his chest, "How about you act in this play and leave Zimo to me? I'm a talented student at Imperial University, so I'm more than enough to guide a high school student, right?"
"What kind of business is this? You are so busy, how can you have time?"
"Why, second sister-in-law looks down on me?"
"I did not mean that."
"Then it's decided!" Yunxi slapped the novel in her palm, "You go back and study the role of Hua Qiniang carefully, and I will let you know when the audition will be."
Ye Qingwan was so frustrated by her that she had no choice but to agree.
"Then I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee that I'll pass the audition."
Just as he was talking, the butler knocked on the door and came in.
"Miss Yun, Mr. Tang wants you to go to the backyard."
"Go quickly!" Ye Qingwan pushed her gently, "I'm going back too, so that Zimo won't see me anxious."
Reminding Ye Qingwan to drive carefully on the road, Yunxi got up and went to the backyard study.
"Uncle Tang, are you looking for me?"
Seeing her, the old man immediately smiled.
"Come on, Xiaoxi, come here quickly!"
Seeing Yunxi approaching, he took the box prepared on the table and handed it to her.
"This is something Tang Si's mother wore. She told her before she died that if Tang Si finds a girlfriend one day, she will ask me to give this thing to her. Today, I will give it to you."
Yunxi opened the lid of the box and found a transparent and warm mutton-fat jade bracelet lying quietly on the black silk cotton.
"so beautiful."
"As long as you like it."
Mr. Tang's eyes fell on the jade bracelet in her hand. He hesitated for a moment and finally raised his face.
"Since you and Tang Si have come this far, Uncle Tang doesn't want to hide some things from you. Tang Si..."
At this point, the old man frowned and stopped.
The old man was a bit unable to talk about his son's secret.
But if he didn't say it out loud, the old man would feel guilty.
In his heart, Yunxi is also equivalent to his own daughter.
Yunxi guessed what he wanted to say: "You don't need to say anything, I know about Third Brother's illness."
"You know?" Mr. Tang looked surprised, "That little bastard told you?"
Yunxi nodded.
"Then..." Mr. Tang frowned, "You don't mind?"
"Who doesn't get sick if he eats whole grains?" Yunxi smiled back at the old man, "Third brother, he is already cooperating with Shang Li in his treatment, and the progress has been pretty good recently."
"That's good, that's good!" Mr. Tang raised his hand to support her shoulders, "Xiao Xi, you are really a great benefactor to our Tang family!"
Because of Tang Si's illness, Mr. Tang didn't know how many nights he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Even someone as strong as Mr. Tang would still be cautious in front of Tang Si, just for fear of stimulating his emotions.
Tang Si was willing to accept treatment, and he knew without asking that it must be Yunxi's credit.
The old man was both pleased and grateful.
"Back then, if you and Third Brother hadn't taken me in, I would have died outside." Yun Xi smiled and helped the old man sit down on a chair. "You and Third Brother are my benefactors, right?"
"Xixi!" Tang Si's voice came from outside the door, "We should go."
"I know!" Yun Xi agreed and smiled back at Mr. Tang, "Uncle Tang, don't be angry with him, he is just arrogant."
Mr. Tang smiled and waved to her: "I know, go back and rest quickly."
Yunxi agreed and walked out of the yard.
Seeing her come out, Tang Si turned to leave.
Yunxi took two quick steps, grabbed his arm, and licked his lips in the direction of the door, signaling him to say goodbye to Mr. Tang.
Since Mr. Tang "drove" Yunxi away last time, Tang Si has not spoken to the old man.
Even though he was sitting at the same table to eat today, he never communicated with the elderly.
Tang Si turned around and saw his father holding a cane at the door and looking in his direction.
Meeting his gaze, the old man curled his lips with an expression that said, "What are you looking at? I'm not giving it to you."
"Xiao Xi, please be safe on the road."
Tang Si raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked down the steps.
Yunxi:......
As expected of father and son, one is more arrogant than the other!
Helpless, she could only say goodbye to Mr. Tang and chase him to Tang Si's side.
Standing inside the door, watching the two of them go away.
Mr. Tang turned around and walked to the study.
Staring at his wife's face in the photo frame, the old man curled his lips.
"Did you see that that little bastard also has a girlfriend? Xiaoxi is a good boy. With her by that little bastard's side, I can rest assured and go underground to accompany you."
The old man raised his palm and wiped the corners of his eyes.
In the photo, Tang's mother curled her lips and smiled softly.
