Ji Xiangzhou and Ji Xiangyi didn’t know that the person Fang Ning was talking about was Ji Xiangchen.

　　The three of them sat at the food stall.

　　Ji Xiangyi actually disliked this place a little, because she had never been to such a noisy and open-air food stall before.

　　Although her parents died unexpectedly, the Ji family was wealthy and had never lost out in terms of food and drink.

　　Therefore, Ji Xiangyi developed the bad habit of being so particular since she was a child. When it comes to eating, she always goes to restaurants that cost thousands of dollars and have luxurious decoration and elegant environment. She never eats street snacks or takeout, saying that they are unhygienic and will make her sick.

　　So she just sat down, and with the noisy environment around her, her brows furrowed more and more.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was different. He usually climbed over the wall with Ye Yang and Zhao Fei to play games. When he was hungry at night, he often went to the food stalls to eat skewers.

　　So as soon as he came up, he washed the dishes with boiling water as if he was familiar with it.

　　In order to distract herself a little and not get entangled in the surrounding environment, Ji Xiangyi asked the question she wanted to ask just now.

　　She had learned from the information given by her assistant that Fang Ning had no other friends except a fake sister who spent her money every day.

　　So was the friend Fang Ning was talking about who came over for midnight snacks with her her fake sister? If so, how should she tell Fang Ning that the friend just wanted her money?

　　Fang Ning was hesitant about how to answer Ji Xiangyi’s question.

　　In fact, she just thought about what happened in the past few days. She always felt that it was not a good idea to let the siblings get together. Judging from the situation in which the three siblings disliked each other in the past few days, if she dared to say that it was Ji Xiangchen who came, she believed that Ji Xiangzhou and Ji Xiangyi would turn around and leave on the spot.

　　After a moment of silence, Fang Ning answered Ji Xiangyi’s question randomly: “He looks OK, quite good-looking.”

　　After all, Ji Xiangchen is a big star and he looks good, so this is not a lie.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was also a little curious about this issue. He was a little curious about what kind of person her friend was and whether he was as non-annoying as she was.

　　”Is he married?”

　　Looks good, good looking?

　　For a moment, Ji Xiangyi felt a little worried about Ji Xiangnian.

　　He abandoned his beautiful wife and ran away to a foreign country. Was he really not worried at all that Fang Ning would be kidnapped by another handsome guy?

　　But think about it, if it is really like this, it is good. The two people’s ages are not very compatible, so it is good to break up. At least a beautiful woman is not worthy of an old man, which makes people feel comfortable.

　　Worrying about Ji Xiangnian, no matter what he does, is not worth it.

　　Thinking of this, Ji Xiangyi’s worry instantly disappeared.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was very smart. Hearing Ji Xiangyi’s question, he knew what Ji Xiangyi meant. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does he have a girlfriend?”

　　Of course, Ji Xiangzhou was not worried about Ji Xiangnian because of him. That was impossible. He was just asking out of pure gossip.

　　After asking, Ji Xiangzhou slowly put down his chopsticks, and a hint of curiosity flashed across the boy’s cold face: “Does he play games?”

　　If he could play King of Glory, maybe I could have a lot to talk about with her friends.

　　Ji Xiangyi also moved slightly and asked, “Is he a rich second-generation? Does he manage the family business?”

　　If he is also managing the family business, then I should have topics to talk about with that person.

　　Fang Ning: “…………”

　　Excuse me, are you checking the household registration?

　　Since he is her friend, that person should not be too bad. Thinking of this, Ji Xiangyi and Ji Xiangzhou were both quite interested in Fang Ning’s friend.

　　The two of them thought of the same thing at the same time, and both wanted to meet Fang Ning’s enthusiastic friend, as soon as possible.

　　But when they saw a familiar and annoying face slowly walking towards them.

　　The slight bit of enthusiasm that had just appeared on Ji Xiangzhou and Ji Xiangyi’s faces disappeared without a trace in an instant.

　　Why is Ji Xiangchen here?

　　Ji Xiangchen was also confused. Wasn’t Fang Ning having supper with her friends?

　　Why is it with Ji Xiangzhou and Ji Xiangyi?

　　The table was a round table. Ji Xiangchen had not yet sat down. Ji Xiangzhou and Ji Xiangyi sat on both sides of Fang Ning, with Fang Ning just facing Ji Xiangchen.

　　The three people’s eyes fell on Fang Ning at the same time, and their eyes were saying: Why is it him (them)?

　　Ji Xiangyi asked, with a questioning tone: “Is that good-looking friend you mentioned him?”

　　The words “good-looking” are specially emphasized.

　　Ji Xiangzhou also asked Fang Ning for confirmation: “Is that good-looking friend you mentioned him?”

　　Fang Ning coughed lightly and explained while sighing, “I thought that you three siblings haven’t been together for such a long time, so I wanted to give you a surprise. I didn’t expect that you were only surprised, not happy.”

　　Ji Xiangyi glanced at Fang Ning: “Thank you, I don’t need it.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou sneered: “Thank you, I don’t need it either.”

　　Ji Xiangchen was very angry. He had come here happily, but who knew he would meet these two annoying faces.

　　He was already unhappy, and now when he heard this, his anger was ignited. He sneered coldly: “You talk as if I want to see you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me, I have many fans who like me.”

　　When it comes to arguing with him, Ji Xiangyi has never lost. She taunted softly, “Oh, so you have fans. How much did you pay for them?”

　　Ji Xiangchen’s mouth is not as sharp as Ji Xiangyi’s. After hearing what Ji Xiangyi said, Ji Xiangchen’s anger gradually increased: “Don’t be so excessive.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou didn’t want to say anything, because it was much more interesting to watch them quarrel than to quarrel with them.

　　But after a few seconds, Ji Xiangyi and Ji Xiangchen unexpectedly kept silent, and Ji Xiangchen took his seat.

　　Ji Xiangyi poured herself a cup of tea, and after talking to Ji Xiangchen, she saw Ji Xiangzhou’s expression of watching a good show, and turned her attack to Ji Xiangzhou: “I don’t know how someone can do this and spend all his time playing games over the firewall instead of studying every day. He was even asked to call his parent. He is really useless.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou’s face darkened. He hated it most when others acted superior. He taught her a lesson: “Don’t blame me. I^[1]you couldn’t handle the scumbag by myself^[2]yourself, and had to ask sister-in-law for help in the middle of the night. You are useful.”

　　If it weren’t for her, he might be having supper at home with Fang Ning right now, and wouldn’t have to face these two annoying people here.

　　When Ji Xiangchen heard Ji Xiangzhou’s words, he immediately remembered that his brothers had said that Ji Xiangyi was dumped. In order to get revenge, he began to taunt: “Oh, I thought strong women were good at everything? Tsk tsk tsk, you were actually dumped by someone. That’s right, it’s strange that someone as cold as you, an ugly girl, would be liked by others.”

　　Three people, you scold me and I scold him, the main attack is indiscriminate.

　　Fang Ning: “…………”

　　The three of you, stop swearing, stop swearing, please don’t swear anymore.

　　When her pain point was touched, Ji Xiangyi’s expression changed all of a sudden. She was not a fragile person.

　　But Ji Xiangchen’s words touched the most fragile nerve in her heart, and she tried hard not to get angry.

　　How dare you call her ugly?

　　If it were any other time, she would definitely put the blame on Ji Xiangchen’s head.

　　But now, Fang Ning is here, she has to hold back, hold back, and never damage her image in front of her.

　　Ji Xiangchen and Ji Xiangzhou could see Ji Xiangyi’s anger.

　　They clearly understood Ji Xiangyi’s character. In front of others, she might appear to be a gentle, aloof, and refined woman.

　　But in front of them, she is definitely the type who, once angry, will chase you for nine blocks with a cold face and beat you up.

　　Ji Xiangzhou might not have felt it very deeply, after all, he was young.

　　Ji Xiangchen indeed felt Ji Xiangyi’s anger very deeply.

　　Their relationship was not good to begin with, but they were in the same class at school. One time, he and Ji Xiangyi had an argument and couldn’t win. In order to get back at her, he hid Ji Xiangyi’s homework at home. When she found out later, she tore up her own homework.

　　She even chased him and beat him. At that time, I was a very fast runner and Ji Xiangyi couldn’t outrun him, but she still chased me for half an hour with a feather duster, and chased me for most of the villa park until she beat me.

　　So he knew from actual combat experience that this woman was a ruthless person, and now, he was a little scared.

　　Although Ji Xiangzhou was young, he often heard about Ji Xiangyi and Ji Xiangchen from the housekeeper and knew Ji Xiangyi’s personality.

　　He raised his eyes slightly and found that Ji Xiangyi showed signs of having an attack. The words of this idiot Ji Xiangchen really irritated Ji Xiangyi. The show was about to begin and he could watch it.

　　He fiddled with his position slightly, planning to watch the show.

　　But Ji Xiangzhou’s wish was not fulfilled because Fang Ning’s wish was not fulfilled.

　　Fang Ning didn’t know about Ji Xiangyi’s tough personality. In her eyes, the heroine looked like she was about to cry.

　　Is Ji Xiangchen thinking with his brain? Being cheated by a scumbag is a painful thing in itself, but Ji Xiangchen brought up this matter again. Fang Ning put herself in her shoes and felt suffocated just thinking about it.

　　She raised her head and looked at Ji Xiangchen:

　　”Ji Xiangchen, why are you speaking for the scumbag? It was the scumbag’s fault in the first place. He was the one who hurt Ji Xiangyi. You are in cahoots with the scumbag by saying this.”

　　After hearing what Fang Ning said, Ji Xiangchen felt a little aggrieved: Why should you blame him? It was obviously she who scolded me first! She only scolded him and not Ji Xiangyi! It’s not fair at all!!!

　　Seeing Fang Ning speaking for her, Ji Xiangyi looked at Ji Xiangchen, the corners of her mouth curled up, her eyebrows relaxed, and a look of pride flashed across her face.

　　This little episode was resolved by Fang Ning. After so many things happened late at night and she was very hungry, she had no interest in watching the three siblings quarreling.

　　”Alright, three young masters and young lady, you have grudges against each other, so just bear with it for now. Let’s eat first, and then you can fight after we’re done. We’re almost starving now.”

　　The three of them were at loggerheads at first, and no one was happy with the look on their faces. However, because of Fang Ning’s words, the three of them suppressed their displeasure.

　　Soon, they started ordering food, and half an hour later, the barbecues came up one after another.

　　This was Ji Xiangyi’s first time at a food stall, and she was skeptical about the food on the street and wondered whether it was hygienic or not.

　　The plate of roasted eggplant on the table was sprinkled with cumin and some garlic, and some of the garlic was roasted black.

　　Is this really delicious? Is this really hygienic?

　　Ji Xiangyi stared at the things on the table, but the dishes in her hands remained motionless.

　　Fang Ning really loves eating. The fragrant grilled eggplant and the delicious grilled skewers make her appetite grow just by smelling them.

　　Seeing that Ji Xiangyi didn’t make a move, Fang Ning thought about the heroine’s background and saw that she didn’t dare to make a move, so she quickly handed her her favorite barbecue skewers: “Here, this is for you, it’s delicious! Really, try it.”

　　Ji Xiangyi was slightly startled, and looked up. Fang Ning’s eyelashes were curved, and she was holding a barbecue skewer in her hand and passing it to her, as if she was sharing some great treasure.

　　Seeing Fang Ning so enthusiastic and determined look, Ji Xiangyi took the skewers from Fang Ning’s hand.

　　But I didn’t expect that once I ate it, I would find it surprisingly good. The aroma of cumin and the fatty texture of the meat melted on my tongue, and the slight spicy taste stimulated my taste buds, making me want to take another bite.

　　Ji Xiangyi’s face, which was frowned just now, slowly relaxed. The food was not bad and she quite liked the taste.

　　”Is it delicious?” Fang Ning’s tone contained some anticipation.

　　Ji Xiangyi nodded.

　　Hearing this, Fang Ning generously took a handful of her favorite skewers and placed them in front of Ji Xiangyi: “These are also very delicious, try them too!”

　　Ji Xiangzhou saw the interaction between Fang Ning and Ji Xiangyi, and slowly pushed the dishes and chopsticks towards Fang Ning. In order to let Fang Ning notice his movements, he even made a sound while pushing the dishes and chopsticks.

　　This successfully attracted Fang Ning, who looked at the dishes in front of her: “????”

　　Ji Xiangzhou is a man of deep thoughts. Compared to Ji Xiangchen’s straightforward personality, he is reserved.

　　Fang Ning didn’t understand what he meant. The cold young man pursed his lips, his face showing no emotion and a very cold expression. He slowly lowered his gaze to the skewers that Fang Ning had just recommended to Ji Xiangyi.

　　What I mean is, I also want what you give him.

　　Ji Xiangchen had just lowered his head and pouted, looking very disdainful of the two people’s behavior, but when he saw Fang Ning in front of Ji Xiangyi, his eyes changed.

　　He was so jealous that his eyes turned red. No, why did Fang Ning give Ji Xiangyi so much food? But she didn’t give him any!

　　Ji Xiangyi is Fang Ning’s sister-in-law! I am also her brother-in-law! How can she be so partial?

　　Ji Xiangchen couldn’t sit still any longer! Thinking about how Ji Xiangyi had just pretended to not like eating with Fang Ning, he also planned to use the same trick as her.

　　He is also an actor, his acting skills must be better than hers!

　　So Ji Xiangchen put down his bowl and chopsticks and shouted, “I don’t like barbecue either.”

　　Fang Ning was distributing barbecue to Ji Xiangzhou and didn’t have time to look at Ji Xiangchen at the moment: “Ah, if you don’t like it, then don’t eat it.”

　　Ji Xiangchen: “???”

　　Why? She had just said to Ji Xiangyi that this was not fair at all.

　　Ji Xiangzhou gave him a stupid look.

　　Ji Xiangyi also gave Ji Xiangchen a look: How stupid.

　　Ji Xiangchen: “…………”

　　———

　　The barbecue lasted until about one or two o’clock in the morning. Although the three siblings usually disliked everyone, they were able to enjoy the barbecue in peace in front of Fang Ning. After the meal, they went home.

　　Ji Xiangyi went back to her own place, as did Ji Xiangchen. Fang Ning and Ji Xiangzhou returned to the Ji family villa.

　　———

　　She got home around three o’clock, and after washing up it was already around three or four o’clock. Thinking that she had to go to Director Zhang for an audition at noon the next day, Fang Ning set the alarm for nine o’clock in the morning.

　　The next day, Fang Ning got up reluctantly at around ten o’clock.

　　After washing up, Fang Ning set off. Director Zhang is a talented and capable director in the entertainment industry, and his plays are highly valued by both actors and management companies.

　　If their own actors can get into Director Zhang’s plays, it will be a living golden signboard for the actors. They will have a lot of room for choice in future roles, and it can also create a lot of economic benefits for the company.

　　So when the company knew Fang Ning was going to audition today, they arranged a car to pick her up early in the morning, and even the agent who was often too busy to take time off came along.

　　Of course, Fang Ning didn’t believe it because it had nothing to do with what happened last night.

　　As soon as Fang Ning got in the car, the agent Qing, who was still reading documents, put down the documents in her hand and asked curiously: “Fang Ning, tell me, what happened last night?”

　　One reason why she came to accompany Fang Ning to the audition today was because her superiors asked her to, and another reason was because of what happened last night.

　　Last night, she went out for a while because of another artist’s matter. When she came back, she heard people say that something happened to her artist.

　　She asked what was going on, and those people had different opinions.

　　She didn’t know who to believe. The most confusing thing was that her boss asked her why she didn’t report Fang Ning’s marriage, but she had clearly told him.

　　When she retorted, the boss didn’t say anything and just asked her to accompany Fang Ning to the audition today.

　　Everyone is gossipy and curious. Of course, Fang Ning is the only one who knows the most about her affairs. Others spread rumors here and there, and no one knows how far they are from the correct version.

　　So today she came to Fang Ning to gossip.

　　Fang Ning didn’t want to tell the agent too many details, so she just said, “This is what happened.”

　　”Yu Qin and his gang spread rumors that the clothes I was wearing were fake, and they also spread rumors about other things, so I found some helpers and used verbal skills to defeat them. Of course, the boss couldn’t stand it and came to help me.”

　　”………”

　　She thought she could learn something from Fang Ning.

　　Who knew Fang Ning’s mouth was even more outrageous.

　　She knew what she was expecting and what kind of ivory would come out of Fang Ning’s mouth.

　　It’s impossible to think about what she said with her mouth.

　　Knowing that Fang Ning would not say anything good, the agent simply stopped dwelling on the matter and instead brought the topic to Director Zhang’s play: “Fang Ning, Director Zhang’s play is hard to come by, and now you have such a good opportunity, you must seize it for me.”

　　Fang Ning is not a fool, of course she knows that if she wants to continue developing in the entertainment industry in the future.

　　If she can get Director Zhang’s movie, it will be of great help to her future career development. Of course, it will also have a big impact on her future pay.

　　Whether it’s for money or career, she has to give it a try.

　　The audition took place in a hotel.

　　The other leading actors in Director Zhang’s “Homeward Journey” have basically been decided, with only the second female lead role yet to be confirmed.

　　Director Zhang had been waiting for Fang Ning for a long time, after all, she was introduced by his old friend Director Wang.

　　He had seen Fang Ning’s photo, and the moment he saw her for the first time, he felt that the role belonged to her.

　　Judging from her appearance, the second female lead in “Homeward Journey” is a college student who has just graduated, and Fang Ning’s eyes and eyebrows are clear and bright, and she is still childish, which is very consistent with the clear and silly feeling of a college student.

　　As for her acting skills, Lao Wang commented that she was very smart and took her work very seriously.

　　Of course, the first thing he looked for in an actor was their temperament and appearance; he didn’t make any specific requirements on their acting skills.

　　If the looks are right and the acting is good, who can resist it?

　　So he has basically decided on Fang Ning and the second female lead in “Homeward Journey”.

　　But in addition to Fang Ning, there is another actress who has also joined the competition for this role. When he had just entered the circle and encountered difficulties in his early years, a boss helped him.

　　A few days ago, the boss said, his friend’s daughter is also in the entertainment industry and happened to be attracted by this role.

　　The boss knew his principles for selecting actors, so he didn’t insist on the role, but just hoped to give her a chance to audition.

　　Of course he is willing to give this.

　　So besides Fang Ning, there are other people auditioning today.

　　————

　　After Fang Ning arrived at the designated location, she met the director, who was a man in his fifties. He wore glasses and was elegantly dressed. He looked refined and spoke in a gentle manner.

　　When he saw Fang Ning, he took the initiative to extend his hand: “Hello, Miss Fang.”

　　Fang Ning also extended her hand politely: “Hello, Director Zhang.”

　　The agent also stepped forward to shake hands with the director. The three of them exchanged pleasantries. Director Zhang and Fang Ning mentioned that there was another audition as well. “Of course, it’s just an audition. I can only make a decision after you guys have finished the audition together.”

　　If the other person’s conditions are more suitable than Fang Ning’s, he will of course choose the best one.

　　Fang Ning also expressed her understanding and had no other objections.

　　Whether one can play the role depends on one’s own ability. She can’t just go to an audition and insist others to choose her.

　　The director called other people in charge of the film to come and arrange for Fang Ning’s audition later.

　　After the director left, the agent leaned against the wall of the hotel conference room, saying slowly: “Don’t be too stressed, just do your best.”

　　In fact, she didn’t have much confidence in Fang Ning getting the role. She knew her own actors’ abilities well and she had seen Fang Ning’s acting skills. For some idols, Fang Ning was competitive.

　　But compared to others, she didn’t have much hope. Those who could come to Director Zhang for an audition must either have good acting skills or be valued by Director Zhang.

　　So Fang Ning is in danger.

　　Fang Ning just wanted to reply to the agent.

　　Then I heard a voice coming from behind: “Fang Ning, why is it you?”

　　The voice sounded doubtful and a bit unfriendly. Fang Ning turned her head and moved her gaze in the direction of the voice.

　　Seeing the woman’s face, she frowned.

　　Xia Qing.
