Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Did Not Add as a Friend

"So you can solve it like this, An’an, you’re really impressive. My cousin always calls me a study slacker; he should compete with you, An’an."

Xu Ling’an capped her pen and waved her hand quickly, "I’ve seen similar problems before. If it were a different type, I’d be stumped too."

Wei Minmin didn’t spare a thought for her cousin, "Even if he had seen it, he might not be able to solve it. But this solution process is really complicated!"

"Actually, there’s a more straightforward method, but it involves college-level math. With high school knowledge, you can only solve it this way."

Jiang Lingxi patted Xu Ling’an’s head and handed over a drink that Lu Zhengzheng had just brought, "You’ve worked hard, have something to drink."

"What are you guys talking about?"

All three looked up to see Wei Xiao holding a cup of fruit tea identical to the one in Xu Ling’an’s hand, his other hand behind his back. No one knew when he had strolled over.

Jiang Lingxi noticed An’an’s slight nervousness, passed her a straw, and stood up, "Director Wei, how come you’re here?"

"Oh, just wandering around," Wei Xiao said, taking a sip of the fruit tea, "This fruit tea is quite good."

Wei Minmin glanced at her uncle and then at Xu Ling’an, who seemed a bit uneasy, "Director Wei, this is sister Lingxi’s younger sister, along with her grandma. They came to visit Lingxi today."

"I wondered why there was suddenly fruit tea from Xiao Xi today." Wei Xiao’s gaze lingered on Xu Ling’an’s face, seemingly unintentionally, "How old is the young lady?"

Xu Ling’an wasn’t sure why this person was suddenly asking her this, so she answered honestly, "Eighteen."

"Just an adult, yet you look younger than your actual age."

Wei Minmin added from the side, "An’an just finished her college entrance exams; she’ll be a university student in a few months."

"Is that so? Not bad, not bad!" Wei Xiao smiled and nodded. As he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly exclaimed, "A few days ago, I saw an interview video on my phone about the college entrance exam. At the end, there was a girl looking for her mom. That was you, right?"

Xu Ling’an looked up sharply.

The nervousness she felt was lessened considerably by this question.

She was nervous because the person in front of her was a director, and even her sister had to be supervised by him. She was afraid that if she didn’t perform well, she might cause trouble for her sister.

She never expected such a big shot would watch videos on their phone, so she suddenly felt much more grounded.

"Yes, that was me, sorry to have amused you, Director Wei."

"Not at all, you’re a brave and filial girl," Wei Xiao praised, then turned to the thin old lady sitting beside, "You must be An’an’s grandma?"

"Yes, sorry for the inconvenience to the crew."

Wei Xiao quickly waved his hand, "No inconvenience at all. You’ve raised a very outstanding granddaughter, and I hope you’ll reunite with your daughter soon."

"Thank you, thank you."

It wasn’t until Wei Xiao walked far away that Jiang Lingxi and Wei Minmin withdrew their gazes.

"What’s up with my uncle? When other families of crew members visit, I’ve never seen him go out of his way to greet them."

"Maybe he’s bored."

Wei Minmin raised her eyebrows high; she didn’t believe that.

As long as the role of Princess Jin’an wasn’t finalized, she felt her uncle couldn’t be so bored as to wander around aimlessly.

The break seemed to pass quickly, especially today.

Jiang Lingxi felt like she had barely sat down when the next scene started.

Xu Ling’an watched her sister put on makeup and continue filming, sitting quietly, flipping through a well-thumbed textbook in her hands.

The handwriting on it was clearly male; she turned to the title page, where a somewhat scrawled name was written: Lin Zhuoyuan.

It must be a book her sister borrowed from someone.

If she had known her sister needed it, she wouldn’t have lent her books to classmates preparing to retake the exams in the neighboring class.

Between classmates and her sister, of course, her sister was more important.

The filming of this scene dragged on until the midday break, and as they waited for their ordered food to arrive at the set, Jiang Lingxi noticed her math textbook now had many neatly written notes, "Did you write this?"

"Yeah, it’s some important key points, sister can focus on reviewing these."

Jiang Lingxi touched the already dried writing, pondered for a moment, and then met a pair of eyes seeking praise, "An’an, would you be willing to come to the set to help me with my studies? I’ll pay you a tutoring fee."

"Huh?" Xu Ling’an was stunned, then nodded and shook her head, "I can, but I don’t want a tutoring fee. Helping my sister is already great, how could I ask for payment."

"But I would be taking up your time. Didn’t you say in the interview that you wanted to earn money?"

"It’s not a conflict. Plus, I haven’t thought about how to make money yet, so I’ll help sister with her studies first."

Jiang Lingxi sighed internally.

It seemed this tutoring fee was destined not to be spent.

She caught a glimpse of Lu Zhengzheng carrying lunch back, "Let’s have lunch first. After eating, I’ll find a quiet place for you and grandma to rest."

In the afternoon, after a short nap, Lu Zhengzheng took the grandmother and granddaughter around nearby. The rest of the time, Xu Ling’an thoroughly went through that required math book 1 from start to finish.

By evening, as filming wrapped, Jiang Lingxi received a math book filled with important notes.

"If sister doesn’t understand anything, feel free to call me anytime."

"You were so busy with this, you didn’t have time to visit the film city with grandma," Jiang Lingxi looked at the grandmother and granddaughter ready to go home and invited, "I have no schedule tomorrow morning, why don’t you stay tonight and we can tour around together in the morning."

Xu Ling’an exchanged a glance with her grandma, "Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?"

"The room is already booked. If you don’t stay, they won’t refund the money. Besides, I’ve been busy filming and haven’t seen much myself. You can keep me company."

"Then, we’ll do as sister says."

"Wait for me to remove my makeup, and we’ll go eat together."

As Wei Xiao finished giving instructions, he turned, expecting to see the female lead nearby, but she was nowhere to be found, along with the visiting grandmother and granddaughter.

"Where did they go?"

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

"Xiao Xi, have you seen her?"

"We’re finished for the day, Sister Lingxi must have taken grandma and An’an for dinner." This time, Wei Minmin didn’t shamelessly tag along, mainly because with elders present, she was a bit reserved, not wanting to startle them, "Why are you looking for Sister Lingxi?"

Wei Xiao pulled out his phone, motioned her away with a hand, "It’s not your business, get on with your work."

Wei Minmin rolled her eyes and sauntered away with her hands clasped behind her back.

However, just as she was about to leave, she was called back by the very person who had waved her off.

"Minmin, wait a minute, come back!"

Wei Minmin took a deep breath and turned, staring back angrily, "It’s you telling me to leave and then come back, what do you want? Do you just enjoy picking on your niece? Do you want me to report you to granddad?"

Wei Xiao rubbed his nose, coughed awkwardly, "Well, do you have Xiao Xi’s contact? Recommend me."

Wei Minmin was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Did Sister Lingxi not even add you as a contact when she first joined? Haha, Director Wei, even you have such a day!"
