Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Are You Seeing Someone?
Yu Sui had a vigilant look on her face: "It wasn’t you, was it?"
"..." Tang Li tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"Forget I said anything." Tang Li took the hair dryer to the desk, plugged it in, preparing to blow-dry her hair, when Yu Sui rushed over and snatched the hair dryer from her hands: "You definitely wouldn’t remind me for no reason. Did you really see my dad keeping a mistress?"
Saying this, Yu Sui furrowed her brows: "That’s not right, it seems like you’ve never met my dad. Or is it that you heard something about my dad from someone else?"
"I just spoke my mind." Seeing Yu Sui’s extreme nervousness, Tang Li could only explain: "I just sent a text to my dad because he thought of marital infidelity and mentioned it to you offhand. I just feel that your dad is a decent man, and it would be a shame if someone snatched him away."
Yu Sui relaxed upon hearing this: "I was really worried something had happened to my dad. If he really had an affair, my mom would probably chop him up with a kitchen knife."
"As long as your mom plays less mahjong and spends more time with your dad, I’m sure your dad would be happy."
"I’m going back tomorrow. I’ll tell her to stop playing cards day and night."
After speaking, Yu Sui picked up the cellphone on the desk and called Mother Yu. Hearing the sound of shuffling cards, she walked towards the bathroom while raising her voice: "Why are you playing cards again? Can’t you go home and keep Dad company?"
Seeing this, Tang Li didn’t know what else to say.
After blow-drying her hair halfway, she went downstairs to throw out the trash.
As soon as Tang Li dropped the trash bag into the bin, a sedan parked nearby, its taillights flashing.
In the early hours, there was no one else on the road but her.
Before reaching the entrance of the apartment building, Tang Li recognized the girl getting out of the car - it was Wu Xuehan.
Under the streetlight, Wu Xuehan’s cheeks were rosy. She closed the passenger door, stood by the roadside and waved at the sedan, then the car drove away, leaving through the west gate.
Turning around, Wu Xuehan was startled the moment she saw Tang Li.
Her eyes seemed shifty, as if she was guilty of something.
After Tang Li approached, she noticed that Wu Xuehan had put on makeup, and everything from her clothes to the small purse was new, while around her neck hung a piece of red coral ’Heart’ necklace by Ahkah. If Tang Li remembered correctly, that necklace cost two thousand yuan and was something that Wu Xuehan used to hesitate to buy. She had obviously splurged now.
"Ah Li, you’re back?"
Tang Li eyed Wu Xuehan from head to toe, then her gaze settled back onto Wu Xuehan’s face: "Have you found a boyfriend?"
"...Not yet."
Wu Xuehan’s face reddened even more, her words somewhat evasive.
On their way up, Tang Li reminded her: "The waters of show business are murky. You’ve just started acting, and many people can’t be judged by their appearance. Be more cautious."
"Don’t worry, Ah Li." Wu Xuehan immediately assured: "I don’t associate with messy people. I went out today for dinner with Sister Yang, the director in charge of artist management at Jiahua Film and Television."
"You want to sign with Jiahua Film and Television?"
Wu Xuehan nodded.
Back in the dormitory, she shared her analysis with Tang Li: "When I was on the set, I heard other actors discuss domestic talent agencies. IMG rarely trains newcomers themselves; they want to sign established celebrities for agency contracts. If I sign with Jiahua Film and Television, Sister Yang said they’d offer me roles as the second female lead in two productions in the second half of the year. I want to give it a try."
Tang Li had worked on ’Original Sin’ produced by Jiahua Film and Television and had a good impression of the company, so she did not stop Wu Xuehan from making such a decision.
After discussing the agency contract, Wu Xuehan suddenly asked: "Ah Li, how has your elder sister been doing recently?"
