Seeing Zhang Nuannuan’s agreement, Old Mrs. Zhang sighed in relief.
Zhang Nuannuan had been spoiled since she was young and had never suffered such grievances.
Thus, it’d be difficult for her to give the man she liked to someone else.
“It’s almost 5 o’clock, and your father will be back soon,” said Old Mrs. Zhang. “I told him to arrange something for you. It’s easy to overthink things if you’re always at home, so the more you think, the easier it is to lose your mind.”
Zhang Nuannuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll listen to Grandma’s arrangements.”
Old Mrs. Zhang thought for a bit and said, “There’s one more thing. Zhang Huanhuan will be back soon, so control your emotions.”
Zhang Nuannuan replied, “Grandma, you must be joking.”
Old Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, “That woman died. Your father felt guilty, so he brought her daughter back to live with us.”
“My brother still doesn’t know about this, right?” Zhang Nuannuan asked.
If her brother found out, he’d definitely object to this.
Old Mrs. Zhang replied, “Everyone knows, including your mother,”
Zhang Nuannuan asked after some thought, “If people find out about this, aren’t you afraid Uncle’s reputation would be affected?”
“That’s why she can only come here as my goddaughter. Otherwise, I won’t agree to it,” said Old Mrs. Zhang.
What? Zhang Huanhuan would become her goddaughter? How ironic.
Zhang Nuannuan asked, “Grandma, that woman isn’t a child anymore. Why do we have to bring her back?”
Old Mrs. Zhang sighed, “Your father feels like he hasn’t accomplished his role as a father, and that he has let that child down.”
Zhang Nuannuan mocked, “He should be feeling guilty toward my mother and us siblings. That woman is so despicable, and she even threw her daughter to us. She’s vicious!”
Old Mrs. Zhang said impatiently, “That’s enough. I know you’re upset, but this is your father’s decision. Your brother and mother didn’t object either, so calm down, okay? Anyway, I’m tired. I need to go back and rest.”
“Grandma,” Zhang Nuannuan choked, “Zhang Huanhuan is an adult now; she’s 20! We can give her a house, so don’t let her move in here, okay? I’m begging you.”
Old Mrs. Zhang lightly sighed, ignoring Zhang Nuannuan’s plea. She agreed because she wanted to make it easier to manage and prevent that girl from causing trouble outside.

On the shooting site.
Jiang Ling’er had just finished filming and had yet to remove her makeup. Suddenly, she was called to the director’s office.
“Director Yan, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?” she asked as soon as she entered.
After some hesitation, Yan Jin, “I’d like to broadcast a few episodes of this drama on various platforms to see how it goes. Do you have any suggestions?” “Director Yan, aren’t you in charge of this?” Jiang Ling’er was confused. “Even if there’s any discussion, it’d be strange to ask me about this. You should discuss this with the boss instead.”
“Boss said you have to agree,” said Yan Jin with a smile.
Jiang Ling’er asked in shock, “Huh? What do you mean?”
Yan Jin nodded.
Jiang Ling’er thought for a while and replied, “It’s going to be released sooner or later anyway, so why not? I just hope the response won’t be so bad.”
Seeing she had agreed, Yan Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
He said, “There should be no issues. We’ll know when it’s released on all the major platforms in three days.”
“Alright, Director Yan. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and remove my makeup,” said Jiang Ling’er with a smile.
Yan Jin hesitantly asked, “Um, Ling’er, do you have any other plans after filming?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I do have plans with my manager. Is there a problem?”
He said seriously, “With just him, right?”
Yan Jun was a little stifled. He had told Li Yu that Jiang Ling’er should continue being the female lead in the next Xianxia movie.
However, Li Yu directly refused.
This was because in the script, there were too many men around the female lead. It wasn’t good for the female lead to be so fickle and possessive. Li Yu didn’t want his girlfriend being so ambiguous with other male actors.
Jiang Ling’er was very disappointed when she saw Yan Jin’s look. She smiled and said, “Then, why don’t I change my manager?”
Yan Jin raised his head and said, “You’d really do that?”
“Ehem…” Jiang Ling’er cleared her throat and said, “Well, I’m not entirely capable of that yet.”
When she said that, the hope in Yan Jin’s eyes disappeared, his face filled with disdain.
He thought she was very powerful, but she only amounted to this much.
Jiang Ling’er smiled awkwardly. It wasn’t that she couldn’t talk about some things, but it’d be useless even if she did.
Yan Jin helplessly said, “Just hurry up and leave.. Don’t annoy me here!”
