Chapter 2216: Chapter 2216 - 2216 Twins

2216 Twins

Qiao Jierou flicked her sleeve and left.

After Qiao Weiyang let Tao Huan leave, she walked to the parking lot.

As expected, the car in the designated space was a familiar one.

She walked over slowly. Under the dim streetlights, she could see the side of the man’s face through the car window.

These proud eyebrows and distinct lines were definitely Su Zhuoqian’s.

Seeing Qiao Weiyang walking over, Xiao Bao opened the car door first. “Mommy!”

“What do you have to call her in public?” Su Zhuoqian asked with a frown.

“Oh, right. I can’t call Mommy ‘Mommy.’ Then I won’t say anything in public. I know that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. There are many uncontrollable factors. I can’t bring unnecessary trouble to Mommy.”

Xiao Bao obediently admitted his mistake and waited for Qiao Weiyang to walk over before throwing herself into her arms.

“Mommy, did the fireworks just now look beautiful?” Xiao Bao asked happily.

“They were very beautiful! I liked them very much.”

“Guess who made it happen?”

Qiao Weiyang glanced at Jingyun, who had been silent all this while, and understood. She said, “The three of you must have prepared the show together, right?”

“Yes, Jingyun solved the technical problem, Daddy provided the drones, and I designed the patterns and colors!” Xiao Bao patted Jingyun’s shoulder. “Alright, I’ve decided to admire you for tonight.”

Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian looked at each other and smiled. It was rare to see Xiao Bao give in.

Sure enough, the technology aspect tonight convinced him.

Jingyun smiled. “Did you like it?”

“Very much.” Qiao Weiyang reached out and hugged him too.

Jingyun wasn’t used to such intimate contact, but he felt that there was really magic in her arms. He didn’t want to leave.

He stiffened and leaned toward Qiao Weiyang. When he thought of the word ‘Mommy,’ his heart softened.

Xiao Bao raised his fist. “Forget it. Since you handled the technical part of the show just now, I don’t mind letting Mommy hug you for a while.”

“You make it sound like Mommy wouldn’t hug me if I hadn’t handled the technical side of things.” Jingyun shrugged.

“Don’t push your luck, Su Jingyun!”

“What can you do to me?”

Xiao Bao waved his fists, but when he remembered that his mommy did not like children being rough, he could only silently retract his fists and scratch his head.

Qiao Weiyang had participated in an event tonight, and she was the most relaxed at this moment. Even when she saw the two little guys arguing, the smile on her lips never faded.

Su Zhuoqian held her hand that was also being held by Xiao Bao.

The two little guys fell asleep as they made their way back.

Su Zhuoqian carried them back and placed them on their beds.

Qiao Weiyang looked at this scene. She had never looked forward to it before, but now, she felt that such a peaceful life was really good.

Su Zhuoqian turned around, hugged her, and kissed her gently. “Do you want to drink with me?”

“Okay.” Qiao Weiyang tilted her head and smiled even wider.

…

After Love Under the Starry Sky was released, the box office sales did not increase from the third day onward. Instead, they fell.

After all, romantic movies did not have the widest audience, and it just so happened that this movie was up against White Fox. Even if one did not consider White Fox a romance movie, the storyline was satisfying enough. The special effects were also very good, enough to make more people enter the movie theater.

Tian Guang was extremely anxious. The investors and producers were constantly putting pressure on him.

He also kept looking for the movie theater managers to increase the screenings.

“30% is the most I can do. I’ve really tried my best.” The movie theater managers were in a dilemma. “With your results, our movie theater should have reduced the number of screenings. It’s only because I’m on good terms with you that we managed to keep 30%.”

Tian Guang knew that there was no hope of increasing the number of screenings this way.

His only hope was indeed as Tian Jingyao had said, the Eagle Film Awards.

As long as he won an award for his previous work, it would drive the release of this movie.

On Qiao Weiyang’s side, she visited Director Cheng again.

Madam Cheng was very grateful. “Weiyang, you’ve been busy enough recently, but you come over often. I really don’t know what to say.”

“No matter how busy I am, I can still spare some time. Yijia is busier than me, so I’ll take the chance to visit Director Cheng on her behalf.” Qiao Weiyang took out the silver needles from Director Cheng’s body and put them aside.

“By the way, Aunt, how’s Director Cheng’s health recently?”

“He’s indeed much better now. He doesn’t lose his temper and act unreasonably anymore. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I keep feeling that he seems to be able to control his mind.”

“Okay, that’s good. If anything happens, let me know and I’ll come over anytime.”

Madam Cheng grabbed her hand. “Weiyang, can this illness really be cured?”

“It’s actually very difficult to completely recover. After all, there’s no precedent for recovery in Alzheimer’s. However, Director Cheng’s illness only occurred four to five years ago. In the past few years, you’ve been taking very good care of him. I hope he can at least recover to the point of being able to take care of himself.”

“Ah! This is great! Actually, I’m not tired of taking care of him. It’s just that it’s really sad to see a talented and ambitious person like him suffer from Alzheimer’s. He’s just like a soulless person now. As long as he can take care of himself, I’ll be satisfied even if he can’t direct any scenes in the future.”

“I’ll try my best,” Qiao Weiyang said softly.

“Don’t feel pressured. It’s best if he can be cured, but you don’t have to bear any burden,” Madam Cheng said gently.

These words made Qiao Weiyang feel that all her efforts were worth it.

Mutual respect was key in making things last.

After Qiao Weiyang left the Cheng family’s residence, she went to the studio.

Li Liangting and Tao Huan were looking at clothes. When they saw her coming, they quickly said, “Weiyang, come and take a look at your new dress.”

“Is it for the Eagle Film Awards?” Qiao Weiyang asked. She already knew that she had been invited to participate.

Although White Fox had just been released and had not been nominated, it had already received the recognition of the mainstream. This time, she was invited to the event location as a guest.

“That’s right. Mr. Lu said that you have to look more dignified and not be old-fashioned, so we’re choosing dresses from a few brands.” Tao Huan sighed. “It’s good to be famous. We didn’t even do anything yet, but these brands already sent clothes over. The representatives even said that they can change the clothes at your request. These brands are famous for not letting people make requests.”

Qiao Weiyang looked at these clothes. They indeed met Lu Mingjue’s requirements.

“Liangting, which one do you think is suitable?”

Li Liangting pointed at one of the sets. “I think this dress made from silk is very good. Do you want to try it?”
