Chapter 387: Chapter 378: Su Yi Presents "Rainy Night," Attends Male Lead’s Wrap-up Banquet

While still resting in her chair, Wei Minmin glanced at two faces she wasn’t too familiar with but also not completely strange, and immediately jumped to her feet.

The sudden movement startled the assistant sitting next to her.

"Minmin Jie?"

"Uncle really did bring in two ancestors!" She muttered under her breath and quickly walked over to greet them.

"Grandpa Shi, Grandma Li!"

Shi Lao and Li Wanxuan initially thought the person approaching them in a guard’s costume was a boy, but upon hearing the voice, Li Wanxuan looked closely again, "Minya Tou?"

"It’s me." Wei Minmin touched her face, which was covered with dark foundation, a bit embarrassed, "I’m playing a character in disguise as a man in this role."

"No wonder, I almost didn’t recognize you. Minya Tou looks quite dashing in men’s attire!"

"Thank you, Grandma Li, for the compliment."

Wei Minmin’s assistant who followed them: "..."

This was the first time she’d seen Minmin Jie act so girlish, how eye-opening!

"Grandpa Shi and Grandma Li, why are you in Uncle’s film crew?"

Wei Minmin was genuinely surprised to see these two brought in by Uncle.

Li Wanxuan waved towards the siblings Su Yi and Su Cheng, "We just finished some work, and had nothing to do. They are my juniors, sister Su Yi and brother Su Cheng. This is their first time visiting Imperial City, so Grandpa Shi and I thought we’d take them around for a look."

As for why they’re here, there were naturally some other reasons.

But it wasn’t necessary to discuss that now.

Wei Minmin promptly waved at the siblings, "Hello to you both."

Su Yi quickly nodded and replied with a ’hello’, while Su Cheng’s eyes were incredibly bright, "You, you, you were in that period drama playing the little demoness, right? I’ve seen your series!"

Seeing him like this, Su Yi almost couldn’t resist giving him another slap.

Wei Minmin was first stunned, only realizing after two seconds which drama he referred to, then nodded with laughter: "Yes, I did play a little demoness role. You’re talking about ’Bright Moon Legend’, right? It was played many years ago; I didn’t expect anyone to still watch it now."

"Yes, yes, yes," Su Cheng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "The TV signal in our town is on and off, so I watched it on disc and have seen it several times."

Wei Minmin raised an eyebrow. Although she found it a bit strange that such a remote area had unstable TV signals, she didn’t ask more, "Well then, would you like an autograph?"

"Ah, can I? Yes, yes, yes! I didn’t bring a notebook, sis, I remember you brought one, let me borrow it."

Now he could show off to his friends when he returned!

Su Yi, who instantly understood what he was thinking: "..."

Truly, the happiness of simple-minded children.

Resigned, she pulled out a notebook and handed it over.

Jiang Lingxi was standing right next to her and casually glanced over, noticing a small scroll in her open bag.

"You carry a painting while you’re out? Just as well, I..."

"Sister Jiang, I intended to give this to you." Su Yi said as she took out the scroll and handed it to Jiang Lingxi with both hands, "I’ve been learning mounting from my master’s elder brother recently, and I mounted this myself. It’s not very good, but I hope you don’t mind."

Looking at the scroll that was indeed crudely mounted but filled with effort, Jiang Lingxi thought she knew what was happening.

She shook her head and accepted it, untied the black silk ribbon binding the scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

Sure enough, it was the painting "Rainy Night".

She originally wanted to keep it but hadn’t had the chance to ask if Su Yi was willing to sell it.

"Thank you, I really like this painting!"

"As long as Sister Jiang likes it."

"Wait, wait, wait a second!" Wei Minmin was still holding the pen, the signature in the notebook only halfway done when she turned her wide eyes toward Su Yi, "What did you just call Grandma Li? I might not have heard you clearly just now!"

"Master Uncle," Su Yi explained good-naturedly, "Mr. Li is my master’s senior sister, so based on seniority, I’m supposed to call her Master Uncle."

Wei Minmin froze, looking down at the notebook, where she had just written ’TO Su Cheng little brother’.

And now she’s being told that the ’little brother’ she thought of was actually a whole generation above her!

Su Yi also addressed Lingxi as Sister Jiang.

It’s all a mess, a complete mess!

She was in a world where she was the only one wounded!

So, could the signature still continue?

In this crucial moment, Su Cheng unusually understood the collapse beneath Wei Minmin’s expression, "It’s fine, it’s fine, just write ’little brother’; I am not my sister’s master’s disciple, so you don’t need to follow her seniority for me."

Wei Minmin took a deep breath, "Good little brother!"

She felt greatly comforted!

After she finished signing, it was just the time when a staff member came to remind them that the break was over.

Before Wei Xiao could speak, Shi Lao waved his hand, "We just came to broaden our horizons and watch how TV is filmed. You go about your business, don’t mind us."

Wei Xiao certainly wouldn’t dare not to pay attention, so he called over a regular assistant to accompany the two elders before taking Jiang Lingxi and the others away.

She Man had two more scenes to film, and after that, she was done for the day, so she proceeded to the makeup room to remove her makeup.

Even though the incident of her being mistaken by Wei Xiao as leaving the set and getting scolded wasn’t seen by many people, it was indeed noticed by the people she least wanted to witness it.

Even though neither at the time nor afterward did Jiang Lingxi or the others say anything, and treated her as they always did, she still felt extremely embarrassed.

Just as She Man changed back into her casual clothes and was about to leave, her assistant encouraged her with courage: "Sister Man, tonight we have the wrap party for the male lead of our crew, you’re not planning on going?"

"Why go?" She Man rolled her eyes, "To make a fool of myself again?"

"But Director Wei only invited a few main creators of the crew; there aren’t many people. If you don’t go..."

It would be quite obvious!

She Man irritably slapped the table, "Just say I’m not feeling well and went back to the hotel room to rest."

"Well, okay then!"

She couldn’t forcefully drag her there.

It was when Wei Xiao was checking people after wrapping up when someone nearby reminded him that She Man was absent.

After all, she was the third female lead. He was about to call to ask her whereabouts when he opened his phone and saw the message she sent.

"Not feeling well, got it," from the message it was evident it was an excuse, and from the wording, it should have been sent by She Man’s assistant, "fine, don’t come then."

In fact, he was somewhat glad!

Putting down his phone, he looked at the two elders strolling over, "Shi Lao, Mr. Li, tonight is our crew’s wrap party for the male lead, would you both like to bring along your juniors for some fun?"

"But it’s your crew’s wrap party," the couple exchanged a glance, feeling a bit awkward, "Isn’t it inappropriate for us to go? Moreover, being there with all young people, wouldn’t you all be conscious eating and drinking with us there?"

Jiang Lingxi just returned after removing her makeup and changing clothes and heard Shi Lao’s comment, "Shi Lao, you also know the male lead, it’s Shen Yunqing."

"He’s the male lead?" Shi Lao initially thought Shen Yunqing was just making a cameo, hearing Jiang Lingxi’s words was caught off guard and surprised, then nodded after thinking for a moment, "If it’s him, I suppose attending the wrap party is fine."

He was mainly concerned his presence might inhibit others, but if it’s Shen Yunqing’s party, there’s no worry.

"But where is he? I’ve been around the set almost all afternoon and haven’t seen him!"

If he happened to encounter him, they could perhaps share a game of chess.

Wei Xiao met Shi Lao’s gaze, then silently looked in Jiang Lingxi’s direction.

Nowadays, asking about someone’s whereabouts when he’s the director is useless; one would have to ask the female lead of the crew!
