Inside the Ling Family mansion, a few women were relaxing in the living room and drinking tea .
“Cousin, I heard the screenplay for the movie you're in was written by the prestigious foreign screenwriter T . Y . ” Ling Yuqing was smiling and trying to be close to Guan Meiyi . “It is said that the actors who take the T . Y scripts all have won awards . ”
Guan Meiyi sat elegantly with a gentle smile, “We're still negotiating, the contract has not been signed yet . As far as I know, the heroine is not necessarily me . ”
“It has to be you! Cousin, you are the hottest star right now . So many girls around me envy me for having you as a cousin!” Ling Yuqing tried to flatter her .
Guan Meiyi smiled and didn't speak . Her mother Ling Qi spoke up, “What prestigious screenwriter? I think it is just a gimmick . The script is only good if there are good actors . Meiyi is a newly crowned best actress, and she will not do the movie if the script is not good!”
“Auntie is right! Without cousin's superb acting, a good script is useless!” Ling Yuqing offered up exactly what Ling Qi wanted to hear, sparing no effort to praise Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi .
Hearing Ling Yuqing's flattering words, Guan Meiyi's mouth curved up with satisfaction . After all, who doesn't like compliments?
Qu Wan seemed displeased with her daughter's bootlicking of Ling Qi and Guan Meiyi . Everyone knew that snobby Madam Ling favored her granddaughter Guan Meiyi . After all, the Guan Family overshadowed the Ling Family financially, not to mention its close relationship with the Ruan Family .
Guan Meiyi's father, Guan Jianlin, was a close friend of Ruan Qishan, the chairman of Yuan Teng Corporation . Guan Meiyi and Ruan Zeyan were expected to get married . From a young age, Guan Meiyi was groomed by Ling Qi to be the future daughter-in-law of the Ruan Family . Within their entire social circle, it was difficult to find another person who was compatible to Guan Meiyi .
Qu Wan's own daughter, Ling Yuqing, changed her last name to Ling, but was still not blood of the Ling Family . If back in the day, she didn't miscarry her baby because of Ling Tianya, she and her daughter would have enjoyed a much better life in the Ling Family . At the very least, they would not be intimidated by Madam Ling and her sister-in-law Ling Qi .
Fortunately, Ling Tao was a decent man . He didn't cheat on her and he didn't bring home any bastard children . Her status as the first lady in the Ling Family was quite stable .
Ling Qi laughed happily and held the hand of Ling Yuqing with tenderness, “Yuqing, you are such a sensible kid . I love chatting with you, unlike that hapless Ling Tianya –”
“Why did you bring her up?” asked Madam Ling . If it was not for Ling Tianya's mother, the Ling Family would not have become a laughing stock . If it was not for Ling Tianya, the child in Qu Wan's belly would not have been lost . “That mother and daughter are both as bad as debt collectors, don't you mention them!”
Ling Qi did not want to mention Ling Tianya . She was the one who helped her with the engagement to Li Chenfeng, but the girl just disappeared out of thin air . Given her social status, Ling Qi didn't have to care too much about the feelings of the Li Family . She couldn't help but feel irked though .
Seeing that grandma was happy, Ling Yuqing quickly changed topics and turned to Guan Meiyi, “Cousin, I heard that the Ruan Family gave you a big present after you received the award . It's because you are their anticipated future daughter-in-law!”
When it came to the Ruan Family, Guan Meiyi naturally thought about the sly Ruan Zeyan . He was the guy she was set up with when they were kids by the two families as a joke . A touch of shyness climbed into her dignified and beautiful expression .
