Husband, please let me go, you are the male protagonist in the sad novel!

The two packed up and went to the production company to attend the script reading.

At nine o'clock in the morning, all the actors, the film's screenwriter, director, production team, art director and other staff gathered in the conference room to prepare for the script reading.

Su Yuan also arrived at the scene as a producer.

Ever since everyone knew that Su Lian was the eldest daughter of the Su family, their attitude towards her became very respectful.

I was afraid of making her unhappy and losing my job.

Everyone who was going to attend the script reading was present, except the second female lead who was late, and everyone was waiting for her.

Su Lian asked Su Yuan who was sitting opposite her, "Second brother, who is the second female lead? You're acting like a big shot before the filming even starts?"

Su Yuan avoided Su Lian's gaze and spoke hesitantly, "You'll know when you get here."

Seeing Su Yuan looking guilty, Su Lian frowned slightly.

I guess this is another woman that his second brother wants to hook up with.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The voice came in before anyone arrived.

"Sorry everyone! I'm late!"

Su Lian looked towards the door. She was very familiar with that voice.

Just as she was trying to recall who the owner of the voice was, Luan Xixi trotted in from outside the door.

She stood at the door and bowed to the people in the room, "My car had an accident and was rear-ended. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

Su Lian's eyes widened, Luan Xixi!

She glared at Su Yuan and knew why he felt guilty.

Lu Jinghuan was also stunned when he saw Luan Xixi. When he saw the look in Su Lian's eyes when she looked at Su Yuan, he understood everything.

Luan Xixi probably came in through Su Yuan's relationship.

Su Yuan helped Luan Xixi out of the siege and said, "It's okay. Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Luan Xixi shook her head embarrassedly, "I'm fine, Mr. Su."

"I'm glad you're okay. Come in and sit down."

Luan Xixi walked into the room and didn't show any surprise when she saw Su Lian and Lu Jinghuan. She nodded to them.

Su Lian was a little confused.

[Luan Xixi knows that Lu Jinghuan and I are here.]

[If you know this, why did you come to participate? Wouldn't you feel embarrassed facing a scheming man? ]

There were empty seats next to Su Lian and Lu Jinghuan, so Luan Xixi chose to sit next to Lu Jinghuan.

She smiled sweetly at Lu Jinghuan and said hello: "Brother, I'm so happy to finally be able to work with you."

Su Lian raised the end of her eyebrows.

[Oh, this is getting interesting.]

[Luan Xixi, are you here for Lu Jinghuan? ]

Lu Jinghuan's brows twitched slightly and he nodded slightly as a response to Luan Xixi.

Su Lian stared at Su Yuan, glaring at him.

Su Yuan held up the script to cover his face, blocking Su Lian's cold eyes.

After two hours of script reading, there was a short break.

Su Lian called Su Yuan outside and confronted him about the crime.

"What's going on? Tell me."

"say what?"

Su Lian punched Su Yuan in the chest, "Play dumb again!"

Su Yuan covered his chest, "Jiang Xue'er was driven away, so we have to find a suitable person to replace the second female lead!"

"Then tell me, where does Luan Xixi fit in?"

Su Yuan said seriously: "She has good acting skills and traffic, and most importantly, she is willing to reduce her salary to get this role."

Su Lian was suspicious, "Reduce the pay?"

"Yes! It's so cheap that I'd feel like I'm losing out if I don't use it!"

Su Lian didn't believe it, "Su Lao Er, you are lying to me, right? In fact, you haven't given up on her and want to seduce her, right!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit Su Yuan again.

Su Yuan dodged Su Lian's fist and said, "No, no, she came to me and begged me!"

Su Lian paused, "What did you say?"

"Luan Xixi came to me on her own initiative. I don't know how she found out that our movie was short of a second female lead, so she came to the company in person and said she wanted to play the role."

Su Lian had a hunch that it shouldn't be that simple for Luan Xixi to be willing to reduce her pay to play the second female lead whose character is not very likable.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about Luan Xixi. Let her see you and your brother-in-law being so affectionate during the filming. That will help her give up sooner, right?"

When Su Lian heard this, she put her hands on her hips and said, "You knew that Luan Xixi liked Lu Jinghuan, but instead of stopping the two of them from getting to know each other, you arranged for them to be together.

Aren't you afraid that Lu Jinghuan will change his mind? And abandon your sister?"

"Hehehe." Su Yuan smiled in a flattering manner.

"If Lu Jinghuan can't even resist this little temptation, he's not worthy of being my brother-in-law.

If he really dares to have evil thoughts, my second brother will never let him off easily!"

Su Lian slowly approached Su Yuan, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Su Yuan, tell me the truth, are you still thinking about Luan Xixi?"

"No, no." Su Yuan avoided her gaze, not daring to look Su Lian in the eye.

Su Lian grabbed his collar and threatened: "I warn you, if you dare to touch Luan Xixi, you will no longer have me as your sister."

Su Yuan didn't dare to say anything, he just pursed his lips and nodded.

Back in the conference room, Luan Xixi was discussing the script with Lu Jinghuan.

Her body leaned towards Lu Jinghuan, very close to him.

As soon as Su Lian sat down, Lu Jinghuan pulled her hand away.

Lu Jinghuan held Su Lian's hand while reading the script and listening to Luan Xixi's understanding of the role.

Su Lian pulled her hand back, but Lu Jinghuan held her tightly.

Luan Xixi saw this scene. She glanced at the two hands clasped together, and a flash of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

She was in no mood to study the script anymore. After saying a few simple words, she straightened her body, lowered her head and looked at the script with a droopy face.

After the break, Lu Jinghuan reluctantly let go of Su Lian's hand.

The script reading didn't end until seven in the evening.

When Su Lian and Lu Jinghuan walked out of the meeting room, they happened to see Luan Xixi making a phone call at the elevator entrance.

She said anxiously to the other end of the phone:

"You're telling me now that you can't come to pick me up, do you want me to take a taxi back by myself?"

"I was in a script meeting, my phone was on silent, so I didn't see your message."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything more. I don't want to hear any explanations. That's it."

She hung up the phone, took a long breath, and looked speechless.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi?" Su Yuan walked up to her and asked.

Luan Xixi said in embarrassment: "It's my assistant. She said something happened at home and she can't come to pick me up."

Su Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I can take you back, it's just on the way."

Before Luan Xixi could reply, Su Lian interrupted and said, "Do you know where they live? It's just on the way."

Su Yuan scratched his head, "It's just a matter of stepping on the oil."

Luan Xixi glanced at Lu Jinghuan and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse Su Yuan, "No need, Mr. Su, I'll call my agent and he will come to pick me up right away."

As she spoke, she dialed a number, but after a long time, no one answered the call.

Su Yuan said: "I'll take you there."

Su Lian kept winking at Su Yuan, signaling him not to care, but Su Yuan pretended not to see it.

Luan Xixi hesitated for a while and said to Lu Jinghuan: "Brother, our two families are not far away. Can I take your car?"
