Chapter 135: Chapter 135: My Uncle-in-law Doesn’t Like Me~

For Mu Ran, finding a producer isn’t urgent right now. When she shot her first film, the producer betrayed her, so she’s learned how to manage the crew over the years.

This is why she doesn’t need Jiao Yuyao to stay longer.

Once a new producer comes in, she can directly tell them what needs to be done.

As for the male lead…

Mu Ran originally planned to hold auditions at various colleges, but she ran out of time and discovered someone who pleasantly surprised her.

—Li Shusen.

Previously, she mentioned that his double eyelids weren’t right, his eyes were too big, losing their appeal, causing everyone to focus on those overly dramatic double eyelids instead.

But after an experienced makeup artist worked on him.

He looked pure and cool, with the charm still intact.

Just very youthful.

But for Mu Ran, training newcomers has never been a problem; she gets more frustrated with older actors who don’t listen to her.

Moreover…

Senior actors are famous in the entertainment industry, have been around for a long time, and are often troublesome, like Lin Wen Yu, who suddenly quit from a perfectly good role.

At least he didn’t break any laws.

To prevent the male lead from betraying her this time, Mu Ran conducted thorough background checks on all the actors!

If trouble arises early, she can change the actor.

If problems occur later, Mu Ran would feel like killing the person.

Once Mu Ran came to terms with her thoughts, she planned to go home and sleep. She’d barely slept last night, worked intensively today, and really needed rest.

As she arrived home.

Xiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief!

Fortunately, he spotted Aunt outside the neighborhood running up the stairs; otherwise, if he returned home after ten, Aunt would definitely be upset.

But he didn’t regret it.

Today, he managed to find a suitable match for Uncle.

It was even introduced by his Uncle’s half-brother. Although the introducer wasn’t great, Xiao Jin thought the person introduced was good; the family’s background wasn’t stellar, but the personality seemed like something Uncle would appreciate. At the very least, they shared common interests.

Both enjoy horseback riding, archery, diving, and various exciting activities. Even if they don’t end up marrying, they would become friends.

Chu Xijin even asked Xiao Baocang to introduce someone to Aunt so that both would have matches, making it easier to break them apart.

Xiao Baocang agreed and went searching based on Chu Xijin’s idea.

When Xiao Baocang found him this afternoon, he said, “Kiddo, I’m your Aunt’s boyfriend’s brother. If you want your Aunt to be happy, come hear my thoughts.”

Xiao Jin’s eyes flickered, and he arranged to meet him at a nearby milk tea shop by the kindergarten.

The driver waited quietly not far away.

Xiao Baocang ordered milk tea for him, endlessly badmouthing Xiao Yu’an.

Chu Xijin cooperated fully, even expressing jealousy, saying, “Since he appeared, Aunt pays less attention to me!”

“See, I told you he’s no good!” Xiao Baocang felt he truly found the right person.

Chu Xijin smiled and nodded.

Internally he snarked: You’re the one who’s no good. My Uncle is the third-best person in the world.

But it doesn’t matter. This person has value for now; once he’s used up, he’ll be tossed aside.

Following Xiao Baocang, Chu Xijin inspected many women, carefully selecting one he thought Uncle would like.

By the time he returned home, it was past ten.

He hadn’t even showered yet.

Hoping Aunt would fall asleep soon so he could wash up.

During this time, he sent a message inviting his friends to his new house tomorrow: “My Aunt bought a new house for me to play in, you can come over tomorrow.”

His friends were all asleep, so Chu Xijin didn’t expect a reply, and focused on completing tasks assigned by Uncle. By midnight, he changed into pajamas, pretending to use the restroom, opening the door to see darkness, finally feeling at ease to shower.

Early the next morning, he ran to his new house.

The first floor of Aunt’s apartment was excellent, very spacious, a full 260 square meters, with a bonus large courtyard. Chu Xijin felt it was really suitable for setting up areas for practice, study, and play.

Skipping sleeping and dining areas.

To avoid getting accustomed to staying here and unable to return home.

The house was originally simply decorated; he only needed to fill it with necessary furniture and items.

Today, Xiao Jin bought a bunch of balloons, snacks, and moved over all the toys he wasn’t playing with from home, just waiting for the kids to arrive.

At ten in the morning.

Mu Ran finally woke up, feeling great after a good sleep, planning to say goodbye to Xiao Jin after breakfast, and then head to the police station to check the situation before going to the small town for filming.

“Where’s Xiao Jin? Isn’t today Saturday?”

“Xiao Jin went to the new house, invited some friends over.” Aunt Zhang said with a laugh, “I made some pastries to take over, will send lunch over too. A bunch of kids having a great time there.”

“Really, I’ll go check it out too.” Mu Ran said.

“Alright, the password there is the same as here.” Aunt Zhang reminded.

Feeling delighted, she returned to the kitchen to message Xiao Jin: “You said Aunt wouldn’t come, but today when I mentioned staying at the new house, she said she was coming to find you.”

Upon seeing the message, Chu Xijin raised an eyebrow, thanked Aunt Zhang.

Started chatting with his friends in the living room, playing music, while sitting closest to the entrance, ensuring he could hear anyone coming in.

Mu Ran walked a short distance, arriving at the new house she bought.

Typed in the password and entered; upon entry, she saw many balloons, cautiously avoiding them while closing the door.

Just as she was about to walk further in, she overheard Xiao Jin discussing her boyfriend with other kids, causing her steps to pause.

“My Aunt must love Aunt very much, but afterward I won’t live with Aunt anymore.” Chu Xijin said, feeling down.

Sister curiously asked, “Why?”

“I feel Aunt’s husband doesn’t really like me, maybe because I don’t have parents, always following Aunt as a burden. When Aunty’s husband first saw me at home, he frowned and said I wasn’t working hard enough, easy to hold Aunt back.” Chu Xijin’s eyelashes dropped, eyes shimmering with tears, quickly pretending to be strong and said, “It’s alright, I’ll work hard to support myself, make Aunt proud, and if Aunty’s husband bullies Aunt, I’ll take revenge for Aunt.”

The friends were stunned.

Someone actually disliked Xiao Jin, even saying he wasn’t working hard!!!

Too much!!!

Each of them passionately condemned Aunt’s husband.

Listening to the children’s discussion, Mu Ran’s face turned dark, Xiao Yu’an dared to dislike Xiao Jin, courting death!

Mu Ran avoided the balloons, going out again, messaging Aunt Zhang: “What was the password you told me?”

Instantly sending another message, “Forget it, I’ll call Xiao Jin.”

Aunt Zhang, writing on her phone, paused, deeply furrowing her brows. Xiao Jin was right, Director Mu had too much pressure lately.

Her memory wasn’t very good.

Clearly Xiao Jin instructed her to tell Director Mu the password, yet Mu couldn’t remember.
