Chapter 390: Chapter 381: An’an’s Father, Hard to Find Actors

Back in the box, Wei Xiao downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Then he poured another glass, drinking while pondering deeply who else in the entertainment industry could take on the role of the Prince of Beiman.

Also had to consider the other party’s schedule...

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"Little Wei, Little Wei?" Old Shi was perplexed, "What’s this kid thinking about, he was fine just a moment ago."

The wine glass in his hand was taken away, and Wei Xiao came back to his senses, seeing his glass now in Old Shi’s hand.

"What were you so lost in thought about?"

"It’s nothing, just some issues with the crew."

Old Shi put the glass down, "Wanxuan and I are preparing to leave."

"Then I’ll see you off..."

Before Wei Xiao could finish, Old Shi patted him on the shoulder, "No need, I just wanted to let you know. Just as well, Wanxuan needs to discuss something with Jiang and An’an, we’re going outside for a cup of tea."

Jiang Lingxi and Xu Ling’an exchanged a glance and stood up together.

Along with the Su siblings, the six of them quietly left the box.

In the main hall, they found a quiet corner, ordered a pot of hangover tea, and Li Wanxuan looked at Xu Ling’an who was standing, pouring tea for everyone.

"An’an, this matter, we have to ask you to speak to your grandfather about it."

Xu Ling’an’s tea-pouring motion halted, "Mr. Li wants me to say what?"

Jiang Lingxi observed Li Wanxuan’s expression, turning her teacup half a circle in her palm.

"Yiyi, this girl is my junior’s disciple, which makes her your grandfather’s grand-disciple, but back then there were some issues between them. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these knots need to be untied."

"How to untie them?" Jiang Lingxi met Li Wanxuan’s eyes without dodging, "Mr. Li, it’s known that Su Yi’s master, Jian Sheng, is your junior, and you say this matter needs An’an to discuss it with Old Master Zhang, indicating it’s believed only An’an can possibly open up this past. So may I boldly assume, is your junior, Jian Sheng, deeply connected to An’an?"

After hearing her sister say this, Mr. Li’s face showed a sudden surprise, and Xu Ling’an’s hand holding the cup also trembled.

Jiang Lingxi quickly took her cup and patted her hand.

Li Wanxuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Miss Jiang is truly perceptive, I do indeed suspect that An’an is the daughter of Jian Sheng and An Yi."

"I don’t know very clearly about the matters of those years, so I dare not speak carelessly here. Perhaps the only ones who know best about the incident are the master and Jian Sheng himself."

Su Yi lightly shook her head, looking at Xu Ling’an, "When I first met Teacher Jian, I saw him sketching. The whole person looked shabby. I watched him finish a painting and, as I was leaving, he suddenly turned his head and asked if I wanted to learn painting. I just thought his paintings were beautiful, couldn’t really describe it, and instinctively nodded. From then on, he started teaching me calligraphy and painting."

"As we got more familiar, I got bolder and asked him why he came to our town. Our town is quite remote, with only people wanting to leave and no one wanting to come in, but he said nothing, and since then, I didn’t ask again. Later he said my paintings were good enough, just needed to keep practicing, and then he disappeared."

She had already told her senior brother this once.

For a moment, everyone sitting at the table looked towards Xu Ling’an.

Li Wanxuan smiled at her reassuringly, "It’s okay, An’an, if you..."

"Alright."

Li Wanxuan paused her speech.

The girl sitting across smiled gently at her, like a jasmine quietly blooming, "I’ll convey it to Grandpa. Besides, I’m also curious about my true origin."

Perhaps this would uncover Grandpa’s scar, but she didn’t want to recognize and interact with relatives in a muddle-headed way anymore.

Moreover, only by uncovering the scar could the accumulated pus inside be drained out.

Perhaps it would heal faster, who knows!

Even if the wound was too deep to heal, she felt it would still be better than letting it fester in her heart all these years.

"Good child, you are all good children."

After seeing off the two elders and the Su siblings at the door and watching them get into the car, Jiang Lingxi and Xu Ling’an turned back quietly.

"Sister, did you sense it early on?"

Jiang Lingxi hummed softly.

Observing everyone around her was her instinct.

When Li Wanxuan first looked at Xu Ling’an, she already sensed something odd in that gaze.

"Sister, did you know," Xu Ling’an’s tone sounded self-mocking yet self-consoling, "I never thought my lineage could be so incredible!"

Since finding out who her biological mother was, she was not without curiosity about who played the father figure.

But seeing that Grandpa never mentioned it, she dared not ask.

Now she had a likely candidate from Mr. Li’s words.

"Sister, doesn’t this feel a bit like opening a blind box?"

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She touched the girl’s head, "Everyone just hopes you’re well."

"Yes," Xu Ling’an nodded vigorously, holding back the bitterness in her nose, "I understand, Sister."

Back in the box, Jiang Lingxi saw Wei Xiao had taken her seat and was sitting beside Shen Yunqing.

Looking at Shen Yunqing’s face again, he appeared somewhat helpless.

Xu Ling’an followed her gaze, considerately saying, "Sister, I’ll go sit with Sister Zhengzheng."

"Go ahead."

As she watched the two young girls huddle together, Jiang Lingxi walked towards Shen Yunqing.

She watched as Wei Xiao, completely unaware of her arrival, tilted his head back and took another swig of vodka, "What’s the situation with him?"

Shen Yunqing moved the chair on the other side, waiting for Jiang Lingxi to sit down, "Director Wei just said, one of his actors had an incident."

Jiang Lingxi suddenly had a bad feeling, "Which actor?"

"The one playing the Prince of Beiman."

Jiang Lingxi: "... Then he really does need a drink."

Honestly, even the actor decided before who now had an issue was, in her opinion, not quite up to par with the real historical Prince of Beiman.

After all, in Beiman’s history books, he was described as a Heavenly God incarnate.

Finding even one suitable actor was exceptionally difficult, let alone someone more outstanding.

Now, even the only person barely fitting the role had an issue, and soon they were going to shoot the scenes involving the Prince of Beiman...

Jiang Lingxi sympathized with Director Wei, and silently sympathized with herself.

Not for anything else, but because she had the most scenes opposite the Prince of Beiman!

The actor not being in place for a day meant she had to wait together.

"Bring me my wine glass, I think I need a drink, to ease the sorrow and have a toast with Director Wei!"
