Su Wan’s words were unintentional, but in Su Qin’s ears, they clearly sounded like flaunting her cohabitation with Li Yang.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and combined with her pitifully beautiful face, it made her seem even more pitiable.

“How can you say such things? She’s your sister!”

“I know she’s your daughter.”

Su Wan’s father was caught off guard again, his face turning red with anger, clearly furious.

Su Wan was too lazy to beat around the bush with them and openly stated, “I know what you want to say. Want to change the script? You want her to play the lead role?”

Suddenly exposed, both of them fell silent: “…”

Su Wan’s father straightforwardly admitted, “Your mother invested so much money in you; it’s just ridiculous! Look at you—you have no acting skills and a bad reputation. Why should you take on the role of the lead?”

“I thought about it. Let Qin Qin be the lead; you can play the second female lead. You’ll earn money and gain a good reputation. During interviews and promotions, let Qin Qin support you. For the next project, Dad will get you a better script. You’ll definitely become a big star.”

“Wan Wan, Li Yang is also investing; you wouldn’t want him to lose all his money, would you?”

He brought out his trump card.

Li Yang?

He was probably doing the same as Su Wan’s father, paving the way and investing in Su Qin.

Su Wan saw through it but didn’t call it out. She smiled and said candidly in response to their astonished looks, “Since she wants the lead role so much, then let’s give it to her.”

She had looked over the second female lead’s scenes.

It was either commanding others or being commanded. It was a comfortable role, and she walked around like royalty—Su Wan couldn’t even be envious enough.

Su Wan’s father stood there, unable to believe it as he asked, “You’re saying… all of this is true? You’re not going back on your word?”

“Not going back,” Su Wan said lightly. “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be leaving. Xiao Zheng is still waiting by the car.”

“…”

“…”

“Wan Wan, don’t joke around with your dad. I care about you and don’t want you to be burdened with such dirty and tiring roles. Let your sister take them; look at you—you’ve been spoiled and raised with care; how could you…”

“Oh, I understand.” Su Wan nodded. “Aside from this, is there anything else?”

“Uh, anything else…”

She was getting tired of this negotiation. “If there’s something else you need me to give up, just say it all at once to save me another trip.”

Su Wan’s father’s face turned somewhat ugly: “How can you speak like that!”

“Aren’t these all the things you want? Isn’t it better to be direct? If you want me to cry and beg, I can do that too.”

Su Wan smiled and said, “If one has already given this much, then giving up on other things isn’t a big deal.”

This sentence suddenly struck deeply at Su Wan’s father’s heart.

He thought she would throw a tantrum, create a scene, and call for her mother, turning the whole household upside down.

He never expected this time Su Wan would be particularly calm. No, it was more like she was at peace, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

She looked at him with eyes that seemed to see a stranger, completely indifferent to joy or sorrow.

Su Wan’s father’s heart trembled suddenly.

When did Su Wan start seeing herself this way? She had once cried and laughed, even when angry, she was hurt by his favoritism.

“…”

If Su Wan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes in disbelief.

He was not even her real father—just a heartless scoundrel. If he was gone, then so be it. What was there to regret?

“Wan Wan, I…”

“Since there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb your father-daughter reunion. Enjoy your meal.”
