Chapter 572: Dad Is Doing This for Your Good
Li Beinian shifted and quickly found a comfortable position from which she looked up at him.
Mu Xichen pointed at her phone. Li Beinian understood and immediately turned on the speaker.
After a bout of noisy interruption coming from Li Haoran’s end, the middle-aged man’s voice could be heard, “Nian Nian.”
The greeting seemed to carry with it all sorts of emotions.
There seemed to be reminiscence, at the same time, it seemed very emotional. Then, she heard a subtle sigh. It was all very complicated.
Li Beinian was much more direct and asked, “What’s the matter?”
As she spoke, she felt uncomfortable in her position again.
She shifted from leaning on his shoulder to lying on his arm.
Even while holding the cell phone, her eyes never left the tablet for long.
A horrific scene was playing.
The street was full of zombies. They surrounded the male and female leads who were at a crossroad junction.
Liu Wei’s single mother character was so terrified that she broke down in tears.
However, she bit her lip and refused to let go. Her face was covered in blood and tears as she stood back-to-back with the male lead, Johnson, but she refused to cave.
At once, the camera zoomed in.
The dense crowd of zombies slowly closed in on them, making the two figures in the center appear isolated and helpless.
The entire scene was tragic.
Li Beinian was stunned.
The person on the other end of the line seemed to be talking, but Li Beinian waited until the scene changed before she snapped back to focus on what the person on the other end was saying, “… Dad is doing this for your own good. ”
Li Beinian did not hear what he had said before this and asked, “What?”
After saying this, she realized that there was something not quite right with Mu Xichen’s expression.
He had been rather relaxed prior to this, but now, his eyes had clouded over.
In terms of demeanor and expression, he looked exactly the same as before.
However, having been with him for some time now, she could tell from the subtlety of his expression that something was wrong.
She raised an eyebrow.
Without a doubt, it had something to do with Li Haoran.
Li Haoran did not expect Li Beinian to be so distracted while talking to him. He choked and asked, sounded a little annoyed, “What are you doing?”
“I’m watching TV.” Li Beinian didn’t try to hide it at all. “What did you just say? The TV program was so good, I didn’t hear what you were saying.”
Li Haoran was exasperated and repeated, “I said, Donglin is getting closer to that girl from the Lin Family. He was your fiancé!”
“Oh?” Li Beinian laughed. “I thought you were looking for me because of the ‘Stinging Vine’ incident. I guess I’ve wronged you.”
Although she was laughing, Li Haoran could hear the sarcasm in her words.
He flew into a rage and hollered, “The casting of this movie is all about fate and opportunity. They’re the ones who selected Xueqing. You did something so atrocious during the audition, you can’t blame them for not choosing you!”
Li Beinian was surprised by his words.
At the same time, she noticed Mu Xichen’s equally surprised expression.
Li Beinian asked, “Li Xueqing was selected? For which role?”
Hearing the surprise in Li Beinian’s voice, Li Haoran’s anger dissipated.
He softened his tone and said, “Although it’s not an important role, the movie’s a collaboration with Hollywood. Once you’ve had this experience, your future will be much smoother.”
“Oh.” Li Beinian chuckled. “Congratulations, then.”
Li Haoran was a smart man and would be able to tell what was true or otherwise.
Rather than skipping over this topic, he reminded her, “Donglin is sincere towards you. I can tell. I met him a few days ago and he even asked about you.”
