The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

Chapter 49: The alcoholic father, the runaway mother, and the poor him

Jiang Ruoli invested in a small movie at the beginning of the year, not because she was interested in the entertainment industry, but because the director was her friend.

The film was about to start shooting but the funds were not in place, and the male lead even quit and went to a variety show that was more profitable and easier. Seeing that the project was about to be cut, there was no choice but to cry and ask Jiang Ruoli for help.

The two of them had some friendship after all, and Jiang Ruoli thought he might as well do a good deed since he had nothing to do, so he simply invested tens of millions.

So, the premiere invited the sponsor Jiang Ruoli to come and watch the movie.

However, Jiang Ruoli had no interest in showing up in public and walking the red carpet. He got out of the car and went straight into the theater with Xu Mengan.

Xu Mengan sighed: "I didn't expect that this movie was actually made by Yu Pingguo."

Yu Pingguo is the director of this movie. Actually, her name is not Yu Pingguo, but since I met her, she eats an apple every day, saying: "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away."

Over time, he got the nickname "Yu Apple".

"I heard that the actor who was chosen for this drama was filming a movie for the first time. He's a young and handsome guy. Did you see that just now?"

The heating in the theater was turned up very high. Jiang Ruoli admired her newly done nails for a while and felt a little uncomfortable with the heat.

She shook her head. "No. You know, I've never been interested in younger brothers."

Xu Mengan raised her arm and bumped into him gently, saying maliciously, "Brother, you are in good health. But your husband should be good too."

His playful gaze fell on the collar that was pulled down by Jiang Ruoli.

The movie hadn't started yet, the lights were as bright as day, and the red mark on the neck was very obvious.

Jiang Ruoli glared at him angrily, "Pour out the dirty crap in your head, the main cast is coming in."

Apple allocated the best seats in the first row to the sponsors, so they were very close to the stage and could easily see a row of creative staff who were introducing themselves one by one.

"I'm very happy that you all can come to the premiere of our movie. I am the leading actor of this movie, Yan Shu. This is my first time shooting a movie. I hope you can give me some suggestions after watching it."

The male protagonist was holding the microphone. He looked young and his expression was a little shy, like a rookie.

Xu Mengan tilted his head and whispered, "I heard that although this male lead is making a movie for the first time, he was already a well-known idol. Did you see the banners behind him? They are all fans. I think the box office of Yu Pingguo's movie will not be low."

Jiang Ruoli chuckled when he heard this, followed her gaze, and jokingly said, "So, does that mean I can get my investment back?"

Unexpectedly, this casual glance happened to lead to a look at the male lead on the stage.

I have to say, the little idol’s eyes are quite charming. He is born with peach blossom eyes and looks affectionately at everyone he sees.

Jiang Ruoli had no expression on his face. He withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but think of Pei Zigui's eyes.

Most of the time, his eyes were cold and deep, but at certain moments, when he was emotional, Jiang Ruoli had also seen those eyes filled with desire.

That is the highest level of seduction.

The lights in the venue went out, the iconic music of the Dragon Logo sounded, and the movie officially began.

This movie is mainly about the memories of youth, and it mainly tells the story of the young love between the male and female protagonists in high school. However, due to some bloody misunderstandings, the two are separated on opposite ends of the earth.

After many years, they met again. The hero had become a young talent, but the heroine had encountered misfortune. Both of them still had feelings for each other, so they became entangled again.

Jiang Ruoli has always sneered at this kind of plot. Why does the heroine always have to become a Cinderella waiting for the hero to save her? Can't it be that the heroine gets rich and goes to the club to have fun, and then meets the hero who has become a male model?

An alcoholic father, a runaway mother, a sister who is studying, and a down-and-out him.

How exciting!

But then again, I have to say that the face of the substitute male lead that Yu Pingguo found was quite suitable when acting in the campus scenes.

The combination of light and shadow makes him look very youthful, just like a real campus male god.

But when it comes to the scene a few years later, I don’t know if it’s because this baby face is too immature, I always feel that it is not suitable for wearing a suit. It looks like a child who secretly wears adult clothes and has no aura.

A true young talent should be like Pei Zigui. He is a natural clothes hanger, and when he puts on a suit, he has an aura that looks down on everyone, which is unmatched.

Damn it, why did I think of Pei Zigui again?

In the darkness, Jiang Ruoli made a "tut" sound, which caught Xu Mengan's attention.

"What's the matter? Can't bear to watch it anymore? Just bear with it. Every frame is your money."

"…Just shut up, and consider it a good deed."

The two-hour movie finally ended, the lights in the theater came on again, and the creators took to the stage again to answer questions from the audience and media interviews.

Jiang Ruoli was not interested in these and simply left early.

As soon as she walked out of the theater, Xu Mengan stuffed her bag into Jiang Ruoli's hands and rushed to the bathroom without looking back: "Quick, quick, help me get it, I'm going to the toilet, I've been holding it in all the way."

"Hey!" She wants to go too...

Forget it, wait.

I don't know if Xu Mengan had a stomachache, but twenty minutes passed by. Jiang Ruoli had things in both hands, including half a bucket of popcorn left from the movie.

Just at this moment, the phone rang.

She took her cell phone out of her pocket in a weird posture, fearing that she would fall down accidentally.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Pei Zigui on the other end of the phone heard the impatience in the eldest lady's tone, paused, and said softly: "What's wrong, is the movie not good?"

Jiang Ruoli's eyes were filled with anger, and he subconsciously complained to Pei Zigui, "It's so ugly. It wasted two precious hours of my life."

"More importantly, I wasted my investment. I don't know if I can make back my money."

Pei Zigui lowered his head and chuckled, holding the phone in one hand and signing the document smoothly with the other.

"If you don't look good, go home early and I'll send someone to pick you up?"

"Let's talk about it later. Yu Pingguo said she wants to treat me and An An to dinner."

Jiang Ruoli's hands were sore from carrying two bags and holding some popcorn.

She subconsciously turned her wrist, but her hand lost its strength and the popcorn bucket was about to tip over.

"what--"

On the other end of the phone, Pei Zigui heard a low cry, followed by a man's voice: "Miss Jiang, let me help you."

Jiang Ruoli looked up and found that it was the male lead of the movie.

what do you say that is?

The other person quickly helped her catch the popcorn bucket and the two bags that were about to fall.

Jiang Ruoli thanked him out of consideration and reason, "Thank you, give it to me."

"Miss Jiang, you're welcome. You're Director Yu's friend. I'll just hold it for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoli frowned unconsciously. He must have asked around to know the relationship between him and Yu Pingguo.

It seems that there is a reason for appearing here.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Pei Zigui's cold voice came again, mixed with temptation and displeasure: "Is there someone next to you?"

Jiang Ruoli's gaze shifted away from Yan Shu, and her voice changed from official to cute: "Well, the male lead of the movie, come over and give me a hand."

Pei Zigui asked casually, "Well, where is Xu Mengan?"

"I've been in the bathroom for a long time and I haven't come back yet. I wonder if I fell down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruoli saw Xu Mengan walking from the other end of the corridor.

"By the way, remember to buy me a strawberry cake when you go home tonight. I want it from Mingbao Hotel. An An is back. I won't talk to you anymore. Bye."

Jiang Ruoli hung up the phone decisively.

"You're finally back. If you don't come out, I'll call the police!"

Xu Mengan looked helpless: "Stop talking, the toilet is full of people. Huh? This is not..."

Jiang Ruoli ignored the second half of Xu Mengan's words, as well as the person still standing beside him, and trotted straight to the bathroom.

"I'll go then. You just go wait for me outside and grab our things."

But when Jiang Ruoli walked outside the cinema, he found that the outgoing male lead had not left yet.
