Chapter 698: Starting to Hate Someone's Life_1

The film crew sought extras that could endure hardship and heavy labor.

Those who were picky had long been kicked out.

Feixue, being a professional media company, has very high standards, even for extras.

The so-called extras are in fact “versatile” actors.

What is a versatile actor?

Naturally, it means they can play any role.

Speaking seriously, they aren’t temporary workers at all, but rather formal employees.

Baili Xia could only bow her head and endure his scolding.

She figured he would calm down after venting and hoped that he would agree not to mention anything about what happened today to her uncle.

How could Mu Lingchuan not see through her thoughts?

He had no intention of telling her uncle about the incident.

If the matter escalated, it wouldn’t benefit her at all.

She would inevitably be blamed by many people afterwards.

Looking at the resolute and persistent look in her eyes, he understood that she was truly eager to earn money.

However, he was unsure what she was in such a hurry to use the money for.

Every month, their grandfather would give her and Ziying, who had no earning abilities, pocket money.

From his generous grandfather’s perspective, this money should certainly be enough for her frivolous spending.

Just what was she trying to use the money for?

Baili Xia didn’t know how to explain herself and could only closely watch his facial expressions.

Neither of them broke the silence.

It was eerily quiet inside the office, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door.

Her clothes had been delivered by the secretary.

Mu Lingchuan cast a glance at her, looking somewhat helpless.

“It’s time. Let’s eat first.”

…

On this end, Baili Xia had not yet figured out how to deal with Mr.

Xiaojiu when she got home, to prevent him from discovering the hardships she had experienced that day.

On the other end, Mr.

Xiaojiu had already become impatient at Sihai Residence.

Unaccustomed to eating alone, he suddenly deeply regretted his long-formed habit.

Though he had Ye Hua, Nangong Xu, and Leng Yu, often times they would have a small table for themselves and he would end up dining alone at the larger one.

In the past, he was used to such lonesomeness.

He didn’t like lively atmospheres, in fact, he despised them.

But now, facing an empty table, why did he suddenly feel like he had no appetite?

“Mr. Xiaojiu, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with today’s food?”

Ye Hua, who just arrived, immediately became anxious upon seeing his face.

Mr.

Xiaojiu waved his hand, indicating that Ye Hua and Leng Yu could go eat hotpot without him.

Even though it was an honor to dine with Mr.

Xiaojiu, dining with him could be very stressful.

As a person of his status, he truly was a lonely person, high above the others—it was probably something along those lines.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to get close to him, but they just didn’t know how to do so.

Mr.

Xiaojiu suddenly let go of his chopsticks, placing them back onto the plate.

He looked at Ye Hua: “Did that girl have dinner yet?

Ask her to come over and have dinner together.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…”

Ye Hua was quite surprised, Mr.

Xiaojiu never liked to get close to strangers, let alone share a meal with them.

Did that girl really mean that much to him?

But what Mr.

Xiaojiu said next immediately made Ye Hua realize his intentions.

“Go invite that missy over here, tell her that her classmate is feeling uncomfortable here and wants her to come and have dinner together.”

“…Understood.” Ye Hua rubbed his nose, immediately turned around and left with big strides.
