Chapter 622
622 side story 7: shi yan’s visit and birthday
in the middle of july, shi yan’s summer vacation had not ended. after the engagement party, she and jiang che stayed in the capital for a few days. after that, they went on a trip according to jiang che’s plan.
This time, their destination was a place called Peace City.
This was a relatively remote small town. The Laocheng District of ning city had a more modern atmosphere. A new drama of the Republic of China, which Shi boxiao was acting as a guest, was recently shot here.
After Shi Yan and Jiang che settled down, they played around for a day and decided to visit Shi boxiang at work.
The two of them rented a car nearby, found a good dessert shop, and bought a lot of afternoon tea before heading directly to the set.
shi yan was wearing a modified peach blossom cheongsam today, and her hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. Jiang che was dressed in his favorite outfit, a white shirt with black trousers.
with their looks and bearing, and their appearance outside the set in such a way, even if there were many big-name stars on the set, they still attracted attention.
So when the two appeared outside the set, the staff didn’t chase them away immediately. They even came up to them and asked, ” “may i ask if the two of you are here to guest star?”
it wasn’t strange for her to ask this question. their looks and temperament were too outstanding, and their makeup matched the background of their drama.
“no.” Shi Yan replied with a smile.
His smile stunned the staff.
The female lead of their drama was a lady from a wealthy family during the Republic of China. The actress was a very famous female star. It was said that her family background was very good, and she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. however, when the staff saw shi yan at this moment, they felt that she was more like a real daughter of a rich family in the republic of china than the female lead.
we’re here to visit Best Actor qu at work. We were just about to call him.
While Shi Yan was speaking, Jiang che had already taken out his phone and was about to make a call.
“You’re here to visit Best Actor qu? you guys are friends with best actor qu?” the staff member’s eyes lit up, probably because he liked qu poling.
Seeing Shi Yan smile and nod, the staff became even more excited.”as expected, good-looking people hang out with good-looking people!”
he’s currently filming Best Actor Qu’s scenes. I don’t think he’ll be able to pick up your calls. How about this? I’ll bring you in!
Shi Yan was about to say that it wasn’t appropriate to call Shi Bozhen’s assistant when she heard someone call her. “young lady yan!”
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw a man wearing a hat and a mask, holding a few skewers of snacks in his hand and walking along the wall like a thief.
shi yan recognized her at a glance even though she had dressed up so well.”Tang Fu.”
Tang Fu quickly took the snacks with one hand and took off his mask with the other. “young lady yan, fifth lord jiang, why are you here?”
without waiting for shi yan to ask, she said,”oh, i just arrived yesterday. there’s a lack of a third female lead in the show. best actor qu felt that i was suitable and recommended me.” Best Actor qu only recommended me because of you. I’m only doing this because of you.”
as she said that, tang fu laughed foolishly. she did not feel that there was anything wrong with getting the role because of shi yan. instead, she was extremely proud.
” second brother isn’t someone who can’t distinguish between private and private matters. you were able to get the role because you were competent enough. ”
that’s true, but I’m not the only actress in the entertainment industry who can take on this role. I only got this role in the end because of Best Actor Qu’s recommendation.
” you and fifth lord jiang talked about this. you said that you were going on a trip, so you’re here to visit best actor qu? ”
“Yes, I also brought some afternoon tea for everyone.”
tang fu looked at the car behind them.
“Then I’ll lead you in. You can drive the car in.”
The staff members were stunned at the beginning, then they were surprised, and now they were pleasantly surprised.
this beauty had just called him second brother, so she must be his sister! his idol’s younger sister had come to visit him! For fans like them who knew nothing about Best Actor Qu’s background, they were more or less curious.
I’ll go with you. It’ll be easier for you to get to the set if I lead the way. She took out her work pass.
after all, tang fu had just arrived yesterday. the people on the set should not be familiar with her. it was more convenient to have a staff member lead the way, so shi yan did not refuse.
“i’ll have to trouble you then,” shi yan said with a smile.
the four of them got into the car, with jiang che still driving.
Tang Fu felt very guilty about sitting in the back seat of the fifth master’s car.
“Miss Tang, are you feeling cold? Why do I feel like your legs are shaking?” The staff member who was sitting in the back seat asked.
tang fu: ” yingluo is not cold. my legs are a little cold. ”
Tang Fu smiled awkwardly when he saw Shi Yan looking over.
old cold legs? tang fu felt that he was really a talent!
The clueless staff member said sympathetically, ” “old cold legs? you’re so young and you already have old cold legs? miss tang, you have to take care of your health. you may not feel it when you’re young, but you’ll suffer when you’re old.”
Tang Fu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Qianqian, thank you for your concern. I will be careful.
soon, they arrived at the set.
shi bozhen was indeed still filming. after the car stopped, the staff went to report to the person in charge. soon, someone came to help move the afternoon tea that shi yan had prepared for everyone out of the car.
When the director heard that Best Actor Qu’s sister was here, he got the Assistant Director to keep an eye on the scene and personally came to greet her.
the director’s eyes lit up when he saw them.
” i heard that the two of you are here to visit best actor qu. i wonder if you are best actor qu’s sisters-in-law? ”
he was filming a period drama, and now that he saw how the two of them matched his drama so well, how could his eyes not light up?
” hello, director. sorry to disturb you, but i’m qu boyan’s younger sister. this is my fiancé. ”
the director followed shi yan’s introduction and turned his gaze to jiang che. he only took one look before looking away, not daring to size him up.
he couldn’t find the reason, and he didn’t know jiang che. it was just a subconscious action.
so it’s best Actor Qu’s sister. Wanwan, should I call him over? ”
Shi Yan smiled. no need. We’ll just wait for him here. Let’s not waste everyone’s time.
At this moment, Shi Bozhen’s assistant had already rushed over.
“Young, young miss! fifth lord jiang!”
“Yes.” shi yan smiled and nodded. ” we’re traveling here. we heard that second brother is filming here, so we came to visit him. ” I brought some afternoon tea for everyone, so please share some with everyone.”
“young, young miss, don’t say that, you’re making me feel bad! i’ll lead you and fifth lord jiang to second young master’s rest area first.”
Shi Bozhen’s resting area wasn’t far away and could be seen from the set. Shi Yan and Jiang che were so conspicuous that they attracted the attention of others. It was hard for Shi boxiang not to notice them.
The moment he saw Shi Yan, Shi boxiang was first surprised, then pleasantly surprised.
She had to finish her scenes as quickly as possible.
“Yanyan, what are you doing here?”
shi bozhen was still wearing his costume. it was a black long-sleeved shirt.
it really did seem like it.
There were a total of four chairs in Shi Bozhen’s resting area, and Shi Yan, Jiang che, Tang Fu, and the director were seated on them. When Shi Bocheng came over, Tang Fu stood up and gave up his seat.
I happened to be here. I heard you were filming here, so I came to visit you.
Even though he already knew she was here to visit him at work, he couldn’t help but be happy to hear her say it.
his grin was so wide that it reached his ears.
when he turned to jiang che, he nodded seriously, ” “fifth lord jiang,”
” yanyan and i are already engaged. you can just call me by my name, second brother. ”
jiang che?
The corners of Shi pochen’s mouth twitched, but he still couldn’t bring himself to call her that.
“forget it, i’m not used to it. i’ll wait until you and yanyan get married before i call you brother-in-law.”
“as you wish, second brother.” Jiang che didn’t care.
They had bought a lot of afternoon tea, but they also had a share. After Jiang che finished speaking, he focused on opening the cake for Shi Yan and did not say anything more.
as for the staff member who was standing to the side and the director who was sitting down, only they could understand how they were feeling.
she was the eldest miss and the fifth lord’s sister-in-law.
they all knew that best actor qu’s family background was not simple, but now it seemed that it was far more complicated than they had imagined.
When he first saw Shi Yan and Huo yunshen, the director had wanted to ask them to come along as guests. But now, he completely gave up on this idea.
“Director, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my sister.”
” movie king qu, you’re too polite. i didn’t do anything. ”
Best Actor qu wasn’t just a super-popular actor. He also had an entertainment company with a high status in the entertainment industry. He had invested in many dramas and was a real investor father. when the director heard him say this, he was a little fearful.
He wanted to leave, but the director didn’t do so in the end.
it was a rare opportunity to build a good relationship with movie king qu, so he had to hold on.
no one knew what the director was thinking, or even if they did, no one would care.
Shi boxiang saw how attentive Jiang che was to Shi Yan and nodded in satisfaction. He asked Shi Yan, ” “How long do you plan to stay here? I’m just a guest. I’ll be done with my scenes tomorrow. If you’re not in a hurry to go back, I can take you around tomorrow after filming.”
“No need,” shi yan smiled faintly. ” we only planned to stay here for three days. today is the second day and we’ll leave tomorrow afternoon. second brother, you can focus on your work. ”
“Alright,” Shi Bozhen said, a little disappointed.
however, it was only a two-second loss. he quickly recovered and said,”then you have to come and visit me often in the future. You don’t know how happy I was when I learned that you were here to visit.”
he could tell that he was very happy.
“I’ll visit you more often when I have the chance.”
“keep your word, you’re a dog if you go back on your word!”
Best Actor qu was too lively, and he was a completely different person from his usual self. The director and the staff were stunned.
“second brother,” shi yan said helplessly.
shi bozhen also realized that what he did just now was a little damaging to his image, so he immediately changed the topic. ” “By the way, it’s your birthday in a few days. I’ve been very busy recently and don’t have time to pick a gift for you. It’s not sincere enough to ask someone else to prepare it for you. How about this, I’ll give you the card, and you can buy whatever you want.”
as he spoke, he took out his wallet from his personal belongings and took out a black card to pass to shi yan.
Shi Yan’s and Jiang Che’s gazes fell on the black card at the same time, and then they turned to look at Shi boxiang at the same time. Their expressions were a little complicated.
especially jiang che.
Other than being speechless, he was also a little unhappy.
“zhenzhen, second young master shi, allow me to say this. i can still afford to support miss shi. i will buy her whatever she needs. if you don’t have the time to pick a birthday gift for miss shi and you really want to give it to her, you can make up for it when you have time in the future. miss shi won’t mind.”
of course I know that fifth Lord Jiang is rich enough to support my sister. Not only is he rich, but my sister is also rich. But how can you give her the same amount of money as I do? ”
“yanyan, i don’t think i’ve ever given you any pocket money since you were born.” she looked at shi yan.
“Second brother, you know that I don’t lack money. It’s not just you. Ever since I started earning money with fourth grandma when I was six, I’ve never asked anyone in the family for pocket money.”
she had definitely given it to them, but she didn’t touch it.
The director and staff were already numb.
He offered a black card, and the key was that he didn’t accept it!
you don’t lack money?
what kind of speech was this that made people jealous?
also, earning money at the age of six? seriously?
Are all rich people like this?
you can take the card back. Jiang che is right. If you want to give me a birthday present, you can pick another one for me after you’re done with your work.
seeing that she really didn’t accept it, shi bozhen put the card back into his wallet dejectedly. ” “Alright, I’ll go pick out a nice gift for you after I’m done with this.”
at this moment, the producer was looking for the director.
When he walked over and was about to greet her, he saw Shi Yan. He immediately put aside the matter of looking for the director and said excitedly,”This … This young lady is Zhenzhen.”
“director, didn’t the scriptwriter say that best actor qu’s guest character actually has a sister? there weren’t many scenes, but it was very important. because he couldn’t find a suitable person to play it, the scriptwriter deleted the role. This young lady’s temperament is very suitable for that role!”
without waiting for shi yan to express her opinion, shi boxiang said, ” “i’m sorry, my sister doesn’t film.”
Jiang che didn’t say anything, even though he didn’t want Shi Yan to show her face in public.
previously, shi yan had only appeared in one or two scenes on a variety show. after the incident, the shi family and shi poxun had suppressed the news, and shi yan’s popularity had slowly died down.
if they were to really film a drama, even if there weren’t many scenes, the impact would probably be quite big.
although the popularity could be suppressed after the incident, if the tv series continued to exist, there would be a second time if the popularity was suppressed, unless her scenes were deleted. in the previous variety show, after shi yan returned to the shi family, shi bozhen had asked someone to delete all her scenes.
it was fine to show her face in public, provided that shi yan liked it.
but it was obvious that shi yan, who liked to be quiet and kept a low profile, did not like these things.
“Ah? Is this young lady the sister of Best Actor qu?” the producer said in surprise.
“No wonder she has such a good temperament. She’s the sister of Best Actor qu. this is wanwan’s situation. if this lady agrees to guest star as best actor qu’s sister, it won’t be too difficult and won’t take up much of her time. it’ll be done in two hours.”
Shi Yan had taken in both Shi Bozhen and Jiang Che’s reactions, even though Jiang che didn’t show it. They didn’t like her showing her face in public, and she didn’t like it either.
” thank you for your kind offer, ” she said to the producer with a smile. ” but i’m sorry, i’m afraid i can’t help. ”
The producer really hoped that Shi Yan would agree, but she couldn’t force her if she didn’t. the key was that she was the younger sister of best actor qu and was not someone who lacked money. perhaps her family would not allow a rich young lady like her to show her face in public.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m being too forceful.”
The disappointment on the producer’s face was obvious.
If this role could be shot, it would definitely be the finishing touch of the entire drama. She had finally met a suitable person, but the other party had rejected her invitation. How could she not be disappointed?
“ahem, what’s the matter, producer wang of the beard?” the director coughed twice and said.
“Oh, oh, oh. I have something to discuss with you, director.”
let’s go over there and talk. Let’s let Best Actor qu catch up with my sister.
*
After visiting Shi boxiang at work, Shi Yan and Jiang che played around for another day before moving on to the next stop.
however, on the 22nd of july, jiang che had someone book plane tickets back to haicheng, and the two of them returned to haicheng on the same day.
shi yan’s birthday was on july 23rd.
when she found out that jiang che was going to book a flight back to haicheng, shi yan thought that he was going to take her back to haicheng for her birthday. hence, she told jiang che that there was no need to go back specially. it didn’t matter where she celebrated her birthday.
“it’s different,” jiang che replied.
Why was it different? on the day of her birthday, Jiang che woke Shi Yan up early in the morning to clean up. He then asked her where her household register was and got the answer.
she recalled how she had used her household register to seduce jiang che before the two of them had gotten together.
She didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly. She was so focused on waiting for their wedding that she had forgotten about this. She didn’t expect Jiang che to still remember.
they took out their household registration books and drove to the civil affairs bureau.
fortunately, after shi yan had been admitted to a university in haicheng, su chen had proposed to move her household register to haicheng. The same household register, along with Shi Yan’s, was in Sea city.
The two of them didn’t spend much effort. Like ordinary couples who went to get their marriage certificate, they lined up, took photos, and signed their names.
after leaving the civil affairs bureau, jiang che stared at the two marriage certificates in a daze for a long time. then, he leaned over and hugged shi yan tightly.
She didn’t do anything else, just hugged him.
He hugged her for a long, long time.
