Chapter 123: Ulterior Motives

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It had only been a year since Liao Jiake got married. She had already wanted to make a comeback.

Coincidentally, when the production team found her manager, Liao Jiake agreed to participate without a second thought. In order to film this variety show, she had put in a lot of effort.

She wanted to use this opportunity to make a comeback, and Liao Jiayan just so happened to want to be exposed to public.

Hence, Liao Jiake found her that day and said that she wanted to record a variety show together with her. Liao Jiayan easily agreed.

Liao Jiayan saw the discontentment show on her face and watched as she became speechless.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with a cold glint. Her tone was slightly chilling. “You’ve always been unwilling to let me get close to this industry because you’re afraid that I’ll steal your limelight, right?”

This was because Liao Jiake had been in the industry for so many years, but she had never said that she had a twin sister.

Liao Jiake was always silent in the face of those photos taken by the paparazzi.

Who hadn’t been slandered when they debuted in their early years?

Liao Jiake thought that since she was not the one being photographed, it did not matter how the keyboard warriors criticized her. She and her public relations team would not deal with it.

Therefore, the fans who had accompanied her all the way here would say that she had a good mentality in the past. She did not argue with despicable people and focused on her career. That was why she was called the national goddess today, Liao Jiake.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was in a hurry to make a comeback and couldn’t think of any other way, she probably wouldn’t have asked Liao Jiayan for this favor.

Faced with her sister’s sudden change in attitude, Liao Jiake took a long time to calm down before saying, “Yan Yan, I think you might have misunderstood. The entertainment industry is not as good as you think.”

“You think I’m trying to make my way into the entertainment industry?” Liao Jiayan suddenly laughed and said sarcastically, “I just don’t understand why you can push me to the forefront of the storm every time and never explain it to your audience?”

Liao Jiake said, “You don’t like the entertainment industry. Isn’t it good for everyone to misunderstand that it’s me?”

After all, the two of them had similar faces. Usually, when they went out with makeup, they could easily pretend to be each other.

“Are you really doing this for my own good, or are you afraid that I’ll debut?”

Liao Jiake had been very careful since she was young and did not allow the people around her to surpass her.

Who asked Liao Jiayan to be her twin sister? To her, this was a bigger threat than others.

At the same time, the director and two other female staff members came to Qi Yan’s house. He wanted to see Qi Yan move back in with his own eyes. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

The director sat in the courtyard with the old lady who was still awake for a while. The old lady even made a pot of tea in the middle of the night to receive them.

“Grandma, I’m really sorry for troubling you today.”

The old lady poured him a cup of tea and sat opposite the director. She looked at the room Qi Yan was staying in. The lights were still on in the room, and the shadow in the window could be seen to be swaying.

The director was about to take a sip of hot tea when he suddenly heard the old lady’s voice reach his ears. “Is that your daughter?”

The next second, his hand suddenly trembled, and the tea in the cup scalded the space between his thumb and index finger.

The director’s expression froze. He put down the teacup in his hand and replied awkwardly and softly, “She’s not my daughter.”

He was only in his early forties. He might look old, but he really couldn’t give birth to such a big daughter.

However, he did have a son who was in the second year of primary school.

The old lady looked up at the director and stared at his forehead. “Look at your white hair. I thought she was your daughter.”

The director subconsciously touched his hair and explained, “My white hair has nothing to do with whether she’s my daughter or not. She’s not ina position where she can anger me.”

Qi Yan did not bring anything with her to begin with. Most of her belongings were a change of clothes, so with the help of the staff, she quickly folded the clothes and packed them into her suitcase.

The director stood up when he saw Qi Yan coming out of the house with her luggage.

Before Qi Yan left, she walked up to the old lady and said sincerely, “I’m sorry, Grandma. I’m leaving.”

The old granny was open-minded and said, “It’s fine. Go back quickly.”

The director said, “Grandma, we’ll be leaving first. I’m really sorry for disturbing you today. You should rest early.”

After leaving the old lady’s house, the director wanted to send Qi Yan to Meng Chuyuan.

They had walked for less than five minutes, but Qi Yan was like an ant crawling behind them.

The director was walking at the back, lighting up the road with a flashlight for them, but as he walked, he suddenly went to the front.

He stopped and turned around. He realized that Qi Yan was walking so slowly.

The director held the flashlight and waved it around Qi Yan’s feet twice. “Hurry up. There’s only a few steps left.”

“The wheels of the suitcase are stuck in the crack, big brother.”

In order to send Qi Yan back as soon as possible so that they could finish work and go back to rest, the director handed the flashlight to the staff beside him and walked over to carry Qi Yan’s suitcase on his shoulder.

The director looked back at her and said helplessly, “Can we walk faster now?”

Without the suitcase as an excuse, Qi Yan returned to her normal speed and followed them. They arrived very quickly.

Seeing that the door was not locked, the staff pushed it open.

The director and the rest had no intention of going in. They put down their luggage and said to Qi Yan, “Go in yourself.”

After a busy day, they were tired and needed to rest.

After the director and the others left, Qi Yan came back to her senses and walked in to lock the door.

Meng Chuyuan had just taken a shower and was about to find a place to blow dry her hair when she saw a figure in the courtyard, so she walked out curiously.

Qi Yan pulled her luggage and walked towards the main hall. Before she entered the house, she saw Meng Chuyuan coming out of the side courtyard.

“You’re back?”

Qi Yan nodded and asked coldly, “Where do I stay?”

Meng Chuyuan looked at the room beside her and gestured. “There are two rooms left on your left. You can choose whichever you want.”

The room on her left happened to be opposite of Meng Chuyuan’s. With such a big courtyard separating them, they didn’t have to be afraid of being disturbed when either one of them entered or left their rooms, which was not bad.

Qi Yan decisively pulled her suitcase to the left and chose one of the remaining two rooms.

Meng Chuyuan found a hairdryer from the main hall and returned to her room to dry her hair. Qi Yan took the opportunity to clean up and take a shower.

The next day

Meng Chuyuan was already up before the live-stream started.

The wind last night was a little strong, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground. After washing up, Meng Chuyuan found it a little dirty, so she took a broom and swept it.

Qi Yan also got up at this moment because she had to put on makeup. If she wanted to appear on camera with makeup, she could only do this before the live-stream.

She came out of the room in her pajamas with a coat on. Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she saw Meng Chuyuan sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard..
