566 Live-In Son-in-Law
“Xi Xi is my sister. I won’t just stand by and watch her get upset,” Shi Chen said seriously.
“If you don’t have the potential to develop in the future, I’ll introduce her to outstanding young and handsome men.”
It wasn’t like no one wanted his precious little sister!
“Alright,” Xie Yunzhou said.

That night, Shi Chen and Shi Xi had dinner together.
Shi Chen fried a steak and a soft-boiled egg for Shi Xi.
Shi Xi picked up a fork and poked at the steak before asking, “What were you and Xie Yunzhou talking about during the day? Do you want to cooperate?”
Shi Chen raised an eyebrow. “You’re that concerned about him?”
“I was just asking.” Shi Xi lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
Shi Chen said half-truthfully, “The condition for the Mitchell family’s cooperation was for him to be a live-in son-in-law. He’s not willing to do so. He wants to work with me.”
“You’re going to work with him?” Shi Xi asked.
“No, I advised him to go to the door and live off a woman.” Shi Chen started to spout nonsense. “He’s too tired from all the work. Wouldn’t it be much happier to be a son-in-law?”
Shi Xi clutched her fork and stabbed it down, cracking the plate.
Shi Chen was speechless.

“What’s wrong with you?” Shi Chen felt that he had gone too far with his joke.
“I’m fine. This plate is too weak.” Shi Xi smiled. “I’ll go get another plate.”
Shi Chen’s heart ached as he looked at his plate.
There were four plates in his set, and now one was broken, so there were only three left.
Not in pairs.
It didn’t look good.
Moreover, the plates were a set, and they couldn’t be bought separately.
Shi Xi changed her plate and ate her dinner in silence, not mentioning anything about Xie Yunzhou.
She did not care about Xie Yunzhou’s life or death.
What did it matter to her whether Xie Yunzhou was living off a woman or a man?
The two of them didn’t speak again until they finished eating.
Shi Chen: It’s better to shorten the pain.
When he was clearing the plates, Shi Chen looked at the plate in his hands and felt conflicted.
Should he keep three plates? Or should he throw one away to make a pair of plates?
…
When Shi Xi returned to her room, she received the final list of the leading roles from Han Chuan.
Female lead: Shi Xi
Male lead: Pei Jie
Second male lead: Lou Ruicong
Second female lead: Tang Xue’er
Shi Xi swept her gaze across the room and fixed her eyes on the candidate for the male lead.
“The male lead is Pei Jie? He can act?” Shi Xi asked in surprise.
“He was very smart during the audition,” Han Chuan said.
Shi Xi was a little hesitant. “But he’s not a professional and he doesn’t have any acting experience. How can he be the male lead of a movie? Can he?”
“You’re not a professional, and you don’t have any acting experience before you started acting,” Han Chuan said.
“I’m the one who invested in the movie!”
“What can I do for you, Boss? Or do you want to appoint someone to act in the movie?” asked Han Chuan.
“Chu Yuan,” Shi Xi said weakly.
Han Chuan couldn’t help but say, “First, the male lead in your movie is a college student, and Chu Yuan is already 25 years old.”
“Second, we can’t afford to hire him.”
“Life isn’t easy.” Shi Xi sighed.
“Are there no other candidates?” Shi Xi asked.
“After a comprehensive selection, he’s the most cost-effective. I’ll send you a few auditions, you can take a look,” Han Chuan said.
After watching it, Shi Xi realized that although Pei Jie’s acting skills were not the best, as a new actor, his lines and expressions were very natural and he had the youthful vitality of a college student.
On this point, the others appeared to be slightly pretentious.
It was hard for Pei Jie, an introvert and a man of few words, to be able to perform so smoothly.
