Sweetest Top Actress in My Home

Chapter 393: Is He…Married?

After the awards ceremony, Jiang Yuning returned to T City to continue filming <Nameless Orphan>. As there was not much time left before they concluded filming, Director Mong instructed all the cast and crew members that no one would be allowed to apply for leave during this final period as everyone was to concentrate on the filming process.

At this time, Jiang Yuning and Xiao Chennan had also placed all of their attention and effort to finish filming the drama. Sometimes, they would have to give up on their sleep and stay up all night to shoot a certain scene, and there were also times where they only had three to four hours of sleep before they had to continue filming the next scene. Sometimes, they could only sit down for a short while before they had to wash up and apply different makeup to continue filming the next scene.

Even though Jiang Yuning was busy filming throughout this period, Hou Da would appear at the filming set occasionally to harass her. “Yuning, I have already gone through the second round of auditions for the first male lead and I have not found anyone who is suitable for the role at all. Do you have anyone in mind who would be suitable for the role?”

“Look at where I am stuck at right now. How would I be able to find anyone who is suitable for the role for you?” Jiang Yuning replied Hou Da as she was taking a break from filming.

“You have already read my novel three times. Just think about it. Do you know of anyone who gives you a good impression and is suited for the role?”

At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of the young boy who was hit and pushed aside by Lin Kaiyan during the awards ceremony a few days ago.

“I actually have someone in mind right now but I don’t know if he would meet your conditions,” Jiang Yuning replied in a casual manner.

“Alright then. Just give me a name and I will test him.”

“I don’t know his name, but I can show you a picture of him,” Jiang Yuning replied as she told Hou Da the story of what happened that night at the awards ceremony. “I just feel that he is a very ambitious person and he will work hard to achieve what he wants.” After that, Jiang Yuning showed Hou Da a picture of that young boy from her cell phone.

Hou Da was shocked when she saw the picture that Jiang Yuning showed her. “Wow, he looks really clean and handsome.” At this time, Hou Da suddenly realized that she had actually checked out some information on this young actor before.

Hou Da had simply brushed him aside because of his lack of experience in the acting industry.

However, according to Jiang Yuning, this young boy was humiliated by Lin Kaiyan at the awards ceremony. If the young boy felt some sort of vengeance and hostility or even hatred towards Lin Kaiyan, then she felt that this young actor…might be worth a try after all.

Therefore, Hou Da contacted her assistant immediately to arrange for that young boy named Su Jinhang to come for an audition with her.

In fact, Hou Da could make all the big decisions with regards to the actors and actresses who would be casted in the drama because she was also the producer of <Yan Huasu>.

The only issue was that Su Jinhang had a rather complicated background.

Although the young boy was very handsome and looked like a versatile actor, his agency refused to focus their attention or resources on him because his aunt had a bad reputation as an artiste. It was a taboo to the agency whenever anyone mentioned his aunt. This led to the young actor being discriminated and given the cold treatment. Even though he had better skills and talents in comparison to his fellow artistes, the agency would never allocate any good resources to him.

This young boy was only twenty-three years old and even though life was unfair to him, he was constantly looking for a way to have a breakthrough in his career.

Hou Da could only assume that he had applied for the audition of the role of the first male lead in <Yan Huasu> all by himself.

Moreover, regardless of whether his aunt had a bad reputation or not, this had nothing to do with his own personality or character. What generation was this anyway?

Therefore, Hou Da decided to give the young boy a chance, especially after seeing the photograph that Jiang Yuning showed her earlier.

However, Hou Da preferred Su Jinhang’s previous name, Su She, which meant that as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing that you cannot achieve in this life.

…

Jiang Yuning was the last person to finish filming her scenes to end the filming process of <Nameless Orphan>. On the last night of filming, Jiang Yuning was dressed in a beautiful traditional cheongsam as she shot the last scene of Li Zhimong.

As soon as Director Mong yelled ‘cut’, the production crew rushed forward to hand Jiang Yuning a bouquet of flowers as this marked the end of the filming production.

“Congratulations, Sister Yuning!”

“Congratulations for completing the process of filming all the scenes for the drama, Sister Yuning!”

“We are finally done with the filming!”

At this time, the young paparazzo rushed forward as he quickly wrapped a warm jacket around Jiang Yuning. This was because Jiang Yuning was wearing a short cheongsam that was usually worn during summer.

Jiang Yuning shivered because of the cold as she held the bouquet of flowers in her hand. “Wow. I feel like I am almost frozen like a popsicle now!”

“Sister Yuning, let’s take a picture together.”

“Sister Yuning, come and take a group photo with us!”

The production crew were all clamouring to take a picture with Jiang Yuning because they had a feeling that if they did not take a photo with Jiang Yuning now for keepsake, then they would no longer have the chance to take a picture with Jiang Yuning when she wins an award next year. After all, they were all very optimistic about the quality of the production and filming progression of <Nameless Orphan>.

Jiang Yuning quickly went over to the production crew to take a photo with them as they had already worked together for so many months and the members of the production crew were already like her own family.

But…

At this time, there was a mysterious and powerful person who was walking into the filming set under the guidance of Xiao Guo.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and they were all in shock as soon as they saw him entering the set.

“This…this…who is this? He is so handsome!”

“Is he an insider in the entertainment industry? He looks like an immortal!”

“He…this…isn’t this the heir of the Lu family, Lu Jingzhi?”

“He…is he here to visit Sister Yuning?”

Lu Jingzhi was wearing a brown coat with a gray shirt underneath and he was dressed up in a smart manner even though this was a casual occasion.

“Is he…married? I think he is wearing a wedding ring.”

“It seems like it. However, it is not surprising for a member of a prestigious family to be married at a younger age.”

“Why is he here anyway?”

Everyone had their eyes set on Lu Jingzhi because everyone was curious and no one could comprehend why someone so powerful would come here in the first place.

At this time, Jiang Yuning was still busy taking pictures on set and she did not know what was happening until she noticed that the young paparazzo was beckoning for her to come over to him in an excited manner.

When Jiang Yuning walked over to the young paparazzo with the bouquet of flowers in her hand, she was shocked to see the man who had arrived at the set.

She would never have expected him to actually show up at the filming set so blatantly to pick her up.

Wasn’t he being too arrogant?

“Second Brother, you…why are you here?”

“I was attending a meeting in T City so I decided to drop by to visit you. Can we go now?”

Jiang Yuning stole a glance at Director Mong before she said, “Second Brother, I have an appointment with Director Mong and the rest of the cast and crew tonight. We already planned to have dinner together. You came so suddenly and you did not tell me in advance!”

“We can eat together.” Lu Jingzhi did not seem to mind the fact that he would be having dinner with so many people tonight.

“Are you crazy?” Jiang Yuning whispered to Lu Jingzhi.

However, this was in fact a small issue.

This was because everyone knew that both of them were childhood friends who grew up together. As long as Lu Jingzhi were to say that Grandpa Lu was the one who had asked him to visit Jiang Yuning, then no one would be able to spread any gossip.

In fact, this was what Secretary Ho had told the production crew.

However, the production crew could not stop gossiping amongst themselves. “I think that Mr. Lu is wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger. Is he…married?”

Secretary Ho froze for a moment before he nodded. “Yes.”

“Wow, Mr. Lu’s wife must be a very incredible person?”

Hasn’t she been in front of you for the past few months already? Shouldn’t you already know if she was an excellent person or not?

“Unexpectedly, we actually have the privilege of meeting such a powerful person because of Sister Yuning! I heard that Mr. Lu will also be treating us to dinner tonight. I really envy Sister Yuning for having such a nice godbrother.”

Godbrother?

He…did not mention that at all? Well, Secretary Ho did imply that both of them were as close as siblings…

But could the principal really do this?

Would he really be able to share a meal with…so many people?
