The director didn't dare to neglect the old lady and took good care of her.
Because it was the old lady's first day on set, Qi Chengzhi also came back to see her.
It was thanks to the old lady's support that his relationship with Song Yu went so smoothly.
Song Yu had to work overtime today, so Chang Lai went to pick her up after work. However, the old lady had already finished work, so Chang Lai had nothing to do during the day, so he came first.
The Range Rover stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Qi Chengzhi entered the house and Aunt Liu was in the kitchen preparing tea, a thermos full of hot water, snacks, and fruits for the old lady.
"Young Master!" Aunt Liu saw Qi Chengzhi come in. "Why are you here today?"
"Today is the old lady's first day on set, so I'm seeing her off." Qi Chengzhi walked in with his hands in his pockets and glanced at the things that almost filled the bar.
"Is this all for the old lady?" Qi Chengzhi asked.
"Yes!" Aunt Liu smiled. "The old lady was afraid that she would be bored and hungry while waiting for the show, so she brought some snacks. You Xuan also wanted to see her, so she brought his snacks with her. There is probably a bucket of water in the crew, but the old lady doesn't like to drink mineral water of unknown origin, so she boiled her own purified water to make tea. "
"Xiao Liu, are you ready?" The old lady was wearing the sunglasses that Song Yu had given her. It was not very comfortable to wear sunglasses in the house. The light was too dim and she almost bumped into a chair in the dining room.
The old lady also had a cashmere coat on her arm. She was afraid that she would get cold if she stayed on set for a long time. When she entered the kitchen, she found Qi Chengzhi was also there and immediately looked around. "Where is Song Yu?"
"She has to work overtime today and will come over after work," Qi Chengzhi said.
"Why are you here today?" the old lady asked happily.
"Isn't it your first day on set? I'll take you there and look around, "Qi Chengzhi said. Although there was no expression on his face, the old lady was very happy to be able to do such a thoughtful thing.
"You brat, when did you become so good at pleasing people? Isn't it because of Song Yu?" The old lady rolled her eyes at him.
Qi Chengzhi did not deny it and reached out to take the things prepared by Aunt Liu.
"There are a lot of things. Put them in the car. I'll drive you there," Qi Chengzhi said.
Qi Youxuan ran over with his school bag on his back and swept all the snacks that Aunt Liu had prepared for him into his bag. He also brought two bottles of freshly squeezed juice and stuffed them into the bags on both sides of his school bag.
It was only a ten-minute walk from the old house to the courtyard house rented by the crew. It was even closer than the small park where the old lady usually went for square dancing.
Qi Chengzhi started the car and felt that they had arrived just as soon as they started.
When they arrived, the crew had already finished one scene and were preparing for the next. The actors were either memorizing their lines, resting, or chatting.
The director watched the scene through the camera and heard a staff member yelling at the top of his voice, "The crew is filming, don't come in. If you want an autograph, wait outside!"
The staff looked at Qi Chengzhi and the other two. Among them was an old lady and a child. It looked like Qi Chengzhi had accompanied the old lady and the child to see celebrities.
In addition, the old lady was dressed no different from ordinary people. Her clothes were not very expensive. The clothes that the child was wearing seemed to be bought from a small foreign trade shop. Only the boy was dressed well. However, there were many young people who wanted to save face nowadays. It was not surprising for them to wear branded clothes.
At this moment, there were a lot of people gathered outside the courtyard house. They were all holding their cameras, hoping to take a picture of a celebrity.
When the old lady heard this person's attitude, she was unhappy. When filming modern dramas, people usually prepared their own clothes. The old lady directly wore the cheap clothes that she had bought at the mall before coming here.
As for Qi Youxuan, he was indeed not wearing any branded clothes. Although the old lady usually doted on him, she felt that children were always growing, and Qi Youxuan was not only growing vertically but also horizontally. After wearing his clothes for a few days, they had to buy new ones. If all his clothes were branded, the Qi family wouldn't care, but wouldn't it be too wasteful?
Even if he had money, he shouldn't spend it like this. What if he distorted Qi Youxuan's values?
The old lady took off her sunglasses and wanted to reason with this young man. She wanted to stop judging people by their appearances, but then she heard a call, "Young Master Cheng?"
Shu Rui couldn't believe her eyes. She had originally wanted to find the director, but halfway there, she heard the voices of the staff. It seemed like there were fans trying to sneak in.
There were many veteran actors in this drama, and there were also many capable actors. However, in terms of popularity, she was still the most popular.
She still had to maintain her image outside, so she wanted to put on a show and mediate. She wanted to raise her image in the hearts of the fans. Perhaps she could even get some publicity because of this matter and increase the topic.
However, she didn't expect to see Qi Chengzhi standing at the door.
She then looked at the old lady and the little fatty beside him. Her mind was racing as she walked over.
"Why is Young Master Cheng here?" Shu Rui couldn't hide her admiration. Seeing Qi Chengzhi standing tall and handsome, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Qi Chengzhi only nodded slightly. "He sent my old lady here to film."
"Film?" Shu Rui was also stunned. She looked at the old lady and guessed that it was the old lady from the Qi family.
"So it's Old Madam." Shu Rui smiled sweetly at the old lady, and there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Shu Rui's smile was very pleasing. She was born with a baby face. Although she became famous late, her face looked much younger than her actual age, so her acting career was quite wide.
The old lady remembered that she was the female lead of this drama, playing her own daughter.
She used to like her quite a bit, but now seeing the way she looked at Qi Chengzhi, the old lady didn't feel very good.
"Old Madam, are you going to film? You are in the drama — "Shu Rui thought for a moment. In the end, she remembered that in the cast list, only the female lead's mother's name wasn't written.
"Old Madam!" The director rushed over. "Young Master Cheng."
"He doesn't know you're here to film. Please don't argue with him," the director said, and then scolded the young man.
Of course, the old lady wouldn't argue with the young man. She just said, "It's not easy for everyone to come out. No matter who you are, it's better to respect each other."
"That's right, that's right," the director said. "Young people nowadays are not very sensible."
The director scolded the young man a few words and sent him away. "Old Madam, it'll be your turn in two more scenes. I'll take you to do your makeup first."
"Director, the next scene is about to be filmed. You go do your work, I'll take Old Madam there," Shu Rui said.
The director looked at the time, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Okay, Old Madam, Shu Rui will take you there. She is the female lead of this drama, and also plays your daughter. You two can practice more and cultivate a tacit understanding."
The old lady let the director go. The director said a few more words, and then ran to talk to the actors.
"Old Madam, this way." Although Shu Rui was leading the way for the old lady, she seemed to inadvertently turn to the position next to Qi Chengzhi.
Ever since the opening ceremony of Qi Lin Hotel, she hadn't been in contact with Qi Chengzhi. At the banquet that night, she tried to get closer to Qi Chengzhi, but Qi Chengzhi's attitude toward her was always lukewarm. In the end, she couldn't find Qi Chengzhi at all.
This time, she didn't expect Old Madam of the Qi family to come to film. Shu Rui didn't want to miss this opportunity.
After all, a man like Qi Chengzhi, who was so suitable from wealth to looks, was really hard to find. Now that she had met him, she wanted to make good use of him.
"Young Master Cheng, we haven't seen each other since the dinner at Qi Lin Hotel. I didn't expect we would be so fated this time. Moreover, it's Old Madam playing my mother. " Shu Rui raised her head and looked at Qi Chengzhi's handsome and somewhat stern side profile. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be his girlfriend. She didn't know if she would have the chance to see his other side.
Qi Chengzhi didn't say anything, but the old lady was very unhappy.
This Shu Rui insisted on coming to build a relationship. Her motive was too obvious.
The old lady didn't have any sectarian bias, but she really hated these celebrities today. Compared to the actors of her generation, whether it was in terms of character or anything else, they were far inferior.
Just like this one in front of her. She looked pure, but her motive was not pure.
"I think we are fated." The old lady chuckled. "According to our seniority in the show, you are our Chengzhi's elder. He even has to call you aunt."
Shu Rui's smile froze for a moment. She laughed dryly. "Old Madam, you really know how to joke. Aren't you taking advantage of Young Master Cheng? I wouldn't dare. "
"Old Madam, why did you think of acting?" Shu Rui felt that the old lady didn't like her very much.
They had only met for the first time today. Shu Rui was really a little confused, but she also believed in her own judgment. After all, if one wanted to do well in this industry, they had to have enough schemes. Otherwise, they would have long been dead.
"Hobbies," the old lady answered briefly.
This attitude wasn't very distant, but Shu Rui couldn't continue asking.
"Old Madam, this is the makeup room." Shu Rui brought the old lady into the room and introduced the old lady to her makeup artist. "Brother Jin, the old lady is playing the role of my mother. In the future, you can also help with her makeup."
Other than Shu Rui, the other actors in the crew all used makeup artists provided by the crew. Only Shu Rui brought her own makeup artist. At this moment, she wanted to please the old lady.
Of course, the old lady wouldn't refuse. She took Brother Jin's hand and sat down in front of the mirror. "Young man, you have to make me look better. The main thing is to cover these wrinkles."
"Old Madam, don't worry. Brother Jin is a makeup artist that many stars ask for when they walk the red carpet. It wasn't easy for me to ask Brother Jin to come."
"Really? No wonder you look so good on TV. You look much better in person. " The old lady said with a smile. Seeing Shu Rui's smile became unnatural again, the old lady hurriedly covered her mouth in embarrassment. "Look at what I said. Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying that you don't look good in person. I'm saying that you look especially good on TV."
"Aiya!" The old lady waved her hand awkwardly. "The more I say, the worse I look. What I mean is that you look good in person. You look even better on TV."
"Haha!" Shu Rui didn't know how to reply. She could only laugh dryly.
"Speaking of which, my eldest granddaughter-in-law is also very beautiful. I think she looks better than those stars. It's just that she's too low-key. My eldest grandson is very protective of her and doesn't want her to enter the industry. When she's acting, she's taken advantage of by male actors."
Shu Rui was stunned. Wasn't Qi Chengzhi the eldest grandson of the Qi family?
Eldest granddaughter-in-law …
She didn't hear that Qi Chengzhi was married.
Previously, at a dinner party, she heard that Qi Chengzhi had a girlfriend. However, very few people had seen her, so she didn't think much of it.
At that time, there was a young master from one of the eight big families at the dinner party. He wasn't a core member, but because he was from one of the eight big families, the other bosses at the dinner party were very respectful to him.
The news that Qi Chengzhi had a girlfriend was also heard from that person. However, he didn't know anything else.
He only heard that Qi Chengzhi's girlfriend was just an ordinary person. She didn't seem to have any background. She was just an ordinary office worker.
Shu Rui thought that a person like Qi Chengzhi would find someone with that kind of status as his girlfriend. Perhaps it was because he wanted to try and see what it was like to date an ordinary woman.
Perhaps that woman was also scheming and knew how to pretend. She wanted to make Qi Chengzhi feel that she was different from others and didn't worship money so that she could stay by his side.
However, she didn't expect that even the old lady knew about the existence of that woman. It seemed that she liked her quite a lot. She kept calling her granddaughter-in-law. Was she preparing for the two of them to get married?
However, Shu Rui didn't care. With their status, people like Qi Chengzhi didn't expect Qi Chengzhi to marry her. Of course, if she could really marry him, she would naturally be happy. With this goal in mind, she would work hard. Even if she failed, she wouldn't lose out.
As for Qi Chengzhi's current girlfriend, Shu Rui really didn't put that ordinary office worker in her eyes.
In terms of appearance, even if she hadn't seen her before, she was confident that she could beat the other party.
In terms of status, it was better to bring her out than to bring an ordinary person out.
Especially with Qi Chengzhi's status, it would be much more convenient to have her around when he went out to discuss business.
And that ordinary woman couldn't help him at all. She believed that Qi Chengzhi would soon get tired of her.
Moreover, not to mention just a girlfriend, even if they really got married, so what?
There were many female celebrities in the industry who had forced their original partners away.
Hearing the old lady's words, Shu Rui knew what the old lady was thinking. She saw through her feelings for Qi Chengzhi and wanted her to retreat in the face of difficulties and protect that woman!
Shu Rui didn't believe that she couldn't compare to an ordinary woman. No matter how beautiful she was, she probably wouldn't have her temperament.
She immediately hid her thoughts and looked completely unaffected on the surface.
"Young Master Cheng is married?" Shu Rui still smiled sweetly and pretended to be indifferent. "Forgive me for not knowing. I didn't hear any rumors before, nor did I see any reports. I guess he handled it in a low-key manner? Then I have to quickly congratulate him. "
The old lady snorted in her heart. She really acted well. As expected of an actor!
"Not married yet, but I'm already engaged," Qi Chengzhi said. "If I marry her, I will definitely do it openly. I won't handle it in a low-key manner."
Shu Rui lowered her head and smiled.
"Speaking of my granddaughter-in-law, Chengzhi, where is my granddaughter-in-law?" The old lady asked even though she knew the answer.
Qi Chengzhi looked at the old lady mockingly. He had asked at home before, and he didn't believe that the old lady's memory was so bad.
She was clearly helping Song Yu chase away the vixen!
Seeing the old lady's action of protecting Song Yu, Qi Chengzhi's originally cold black eyes were tinged with a little smile.
Following the old lady's words, he cooperated and said, "She's working overtime today. She'll come over tonight."
"What overtime?! Ask Chang Lai to pick her up for lunch and ask her boss to give her less work. " The old lady directly put on a posture. She rarely used her status to get special privileges. Now that she said this, she actually felt a little guilty.
"I'll give her a call later. She doesn't like me interfering with her work," Qi Chengzhi said, the corner of his mouth also slightly curved.
Shu Rui saw it and thought that she really guessed it. It was probably because of this aloof appearance that Qi Chengzhi saw that woman in a different light.
"By the way, do you have a photo of my granddaughter-in-law on your phone?" The old lady asked. Actually, she wasn't sure, but young people nowadays would have a few photos on their phones when they were in love.
In fact, Qi Chengzhi didn't only have one. He also had a special folder filled with Song Yu's photos.
He found the photo and handed the phone to the old lady. The old lady directly showed it to Brother Jin. "Look, my granddaughter-in-law is pretty, and she has a good foundation. She looks good without makeup."
Shu Rui always felt that the old lady's every word was mocking her.
Brother Jin nodded at the side and said, "She's really beautiful. It's indeed rare in the circle. The key is that her temperament is particularly outstanding. That quiet temperament is really not something that can be faked."
Hearing Brother Jin's praise, the old lady was very happy.
"You go back first. Don't stand here. I'll stay here with Youxuan. When he's done playing, you can come back to pick him up," the old lady said, telling Qi Chengzhi to leave quickly so that he wouldn't be pestered by Shu Rui.
"Then, Young Master Cheng, is it convenient for you to leave your contact information? If Youxuan wants to go back later, I'll give you a call. "Shu Rui took the opportunity to say that she had wanted it before, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt and her purpose would be too obvious.
Now that there was such a natural opportunity, of course, she wouldn't let it go.
"I have a phone. When I want to leave, I can call Uncle myself." Qi Youxuan, who had been ignored, took out his chinchilla-shaped children's phone from his pocket. He held it in his chubby little hand and shook it at Shu Rui.
Such a great opportunity was ruined by this little fatty. Shu Rui was so angry that she wanted to drive this little fatty out.
However, this little fatty was Qi Chengzhi's nephew. She couldn't afford to offend him. She could only suppress her anger and didn't dare to show even a little unhappy expression.
"Auntie, don't think that this is a toy phone!" Qi Youxuan said.
"…" Shu Rui's heart sank. She really wanted to say that just now.
Then, Qi Youxuan looked around and suddenly ran to the dressing table. His chubby little hand grabbed the chair and dragged it over. Because he was too weak, he couldn't lift the chair. The chair's legs rubbed against the ground, making a particularly loud and ear-piercing noise.
Qi Chengzhi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What are you doing?"
He took the chair from the chubby little hand.
Qi Youxuan's chubby little hand pointed to the place beside Shu Rui. "Uncle, help me move the chair over there."
Qi Chengzhi frowned. He didn't know what this little fatty was planning, but he still moved the chair over.
Qi Youxuan used his chubby little hand to support himself on the chair and climbed up.
