“Really!” Li Beinian’s eyes lit up in delight. “That’s such good news, Xueqing. What role do you intend for me to take up?”

Li Xueqing smiled awkwardly and turned to Li Haoran. “You’ll have to ask Dad about this.”

Li Beinian turned to Li Haoran too. “Dad, you’ve got to give me a good role!”

Li Haoran did not seem the least bit excited.

He looked at Li Beinian who was all smiles.

A pretty smile on a youthful face.

The way she called him Dad caught him by surprise.

His wish had been fulfilled at that moment.

Li Haoran’s heart warmed.

He smiled at this daughter of his. “Alright. Dad will arrange for a good role.”

“Thank you, Dad!”

Li Beinian was beyond excited.

She seemed so pure and simple, so easily satisfied.

Li Haoran nodded contentedly. “In that case, you can follow Xueqing to meet the production crew once your exams are over.”

Li Xueqing did all she could to conceal her anger.

–

Li Beinian did not have that many parts in “Nine Spies”.

She’d told the Director earlier about her exams, and he’d agreed to accommodate her schedule by shortening her stint.

As such, however, the intensity was a lot higher. Li Beinian had to work long hours each day.

She would be wrapping up her scenes soon.

The production crew decided to give everyone a dinner treat in celebration of her work completion.

It wasn’t a very large scale event, but this was enough to reflect how highly they esteemed Li Beinian.

It happened that the car Li Haoran had bought for her had arrived at the Li Family.

She got her license and test-drove it for a while. She loved it.

Li Beinian was in a good mood when she left early in the morning.

Seeing how happy she looked, Li Xueqing clenched her jaw.

She couldn’t deal with it any longer. Li Xueqing stormed to her mother.

Fang Zhili was trimming the flowers gracefully. Seeing her enter, she asked slowly, “What’s it this time?”

“Mom!” Li Beinian’s eyes had gone bloodshot from her anger. “What do I do, Dad is letting Li Beinian join our production crew. That wretched girl is so good at acting, if she really comes, it’ll be terrible!”

Fang Zhili looked calm and almost nonchalant. “If we’re afraid that one flower would grow better and become more beautiful than the other, then we’ve got to do something about the threatening flower...”

Snip.

A beautiful white flower landed limply on the table.

“Cut it off.”

Li Xueqing was shocked. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t worry.” Fang Zhili placed her hand on Li Xueqing’s shoulder gently. “You’re the rich Miss of the Li Family, and you’re the only one here who can go into acting.”

Upon hearing those words, Li Xueqing felt a mix of emotions—mainly fear and excitement.

That’s right.

Everyone else only knew of her. She was the only one!

As for Li Beinian...

Hmph.
