Chapter 241: Ungrateful People
Hearing what Li Xing’er said, the host smiled mysteriously.
“I believe that your parents do love you deeply and support your acting journey, because… they are here.”
Li Xing’er glanced at the direction the host pointed in and sure enough, she found Zhou Meiqin and Li Jiacheng were seated among the audience.
Excited, she rushed off the stage and put on a family gathering show in front of the audience and the camera.
Li Xing’er cried so hard that the tears smudged her makeup, and she did not return to the stage until a long while later.
“Due to the tight schedule, I have been flying across the world and catching up with work after the filming. I have not been home for almost three months.”
The host passed her some tissues and consoled her.
“Mr. Li and Mrs. Li miss their daughter a great deal too, so they flew all the way here from the capital city just to see you and support you at the premiere.”
Li Xing’er looked at her parents down in the audience with tears in her eyes and said, between sobs, “I am really grateful to my parents. They have been so important for my career.”
Then, she said that Wei Ziting had been her childhood friend and told the story of how her parents, who had actually been having an affair when they were still married, loved each other deeply.
Sitting in the audience, Gu Weiwei did not even turn around to look at Li Jiacheng and Zhou Meiqin, when she heard their names.
Standing behind her, Jolin threw a look at Li Jiacheng and Zhou Meiqin whilst patting her shoulders worriedly.
“Weiwei?”
He understood clearly what that family had done to her, fearing that she would say something terrible out of anger.
Gu Weiwei glanced at him and showed him a bright smile.
“Don’t worry.”
She was not an impulsive girl. It would be stupid of her to reveal such dark secrets with Li Xing’er on the stage.
Jolin felt assured after hearing what she said.
It was not yet time for her to start a battle against Li Xing’er at this moment, but soon he was going to give her the opportunity to reveal the truth, of this ungrateful family.
After the host finished the conversation with Li Xing’er and Fu Shiyi, Yi An and Gu Weiwei were invited onto the stage.
Host: Every movie by Director Yi has received some awards, so are you confident about the Long Wind when it comes to the Gold Phoenix Awards at the end of this year?
Yi An: I am very glad that I have met such excellent actors and I am very confident that we can be at least nominated.
Host: As we all know, most actors who have been with Director Yi would win some awards. Who do you think will be able to get the award this year?
Yi An: Everyone has done a great job.
Host: If you can’t say anything now, maybe you can tell us if you expect an actor or an actress to win the award?
Yi An: Personally speaking, I do have hopes for the actresses, because Third Master only stands out because of his looks.
Fu Shiyi: You know me pretty well, Director Yi.
The host looked at Gu Weiwei and Li Xing’er and said, “Since Director Yi says so, I do look forward to seeing one of you standing out at the Gold Phoenix Awards.”
Zhou Meiqin smiled confidently. If the director thought so, then Xing’er was definitely going to br the Movie Queen of the Golden Phoenix.
Then her sacrifice would have been worth its while.
Gu Weiwei smiled without uttering a sound.
After finishing the questions with the director, the host turned to Gu Weiwei.
“Weiwei, you are still a freshman at university right? Do your parents support you when you don’t go to school but instead turn to acting?”
Gu Weiwei smiled meaningfully and said calmly, “My mother passed away last year and my father remarried, they have never interfered with my studies.”
Li Xing’er’s face stiffened. She threw a look at her nervously, fearing that she would reveal something unpleasant.
