Chapter 817: Passing By

In the end, Han Ruoxing still pulled a three-person game.

She had originally sent a text message to Gu Jingyan, but Gu Jingyan was too busy and had to squeeze in time to drink water.

However, this guy was not forgetting to be jealous, but when he heard that she had also pulled Yang Yuwei, he reluctantly swallowed his jealousy and just told her not to stay outside after dinner and to return to Yuyuan early, because he had something to tell her.

Han Ruoxing could probably guess what Gu Jingyan was going to do. The day after tomorrow was her birthday, and this guy might be giving her a birthday present.

On her birthday, Song Wanqian was originally planning to invite more people to help her celebrate, but was rejected by Han Ruoxing.

She didn't have many friends in the circle, and she couldn't enjoy such a big event. Moreover, the family recognition banquet had just passed, and another birthday banquet was held. Although Song Wanqian doted on his daughter, it was not a big birthday, and a big banquet was held. It was inevitable that people would think that the Song family was not good at eating, just for the gift money.

After much persuasion, Song Wanqian finally compromised and said to hold a small birthday party, just for the whole family, and invite a few friends to celebrate for her, after all, this was the first birthday he had celebrated for Han Ruoxing.

Han Ruoxing was so sad that she finally agreed.

No matter how small the birthday party was, she would have to deal with the guests, and she would naturally have little time to be alone with Gu Jingyan, so he would definitely spend more time with her in advance.

Thinking of this, Han Ruoxing couldn't help but speed up her eating.

Yang Yuwei looked at her eating speed and couldn't help but say, "Is it because you are treating me, so I have to eat more?"

"Puff——" Han Ruoxing choked and coughed, covering her lips.

She thought, Yang Yuwei might have switched with Gu Jingyan, her mouth was obviously from the same lineage as Gu Jingyan.

Mo Mingxuan handed over a tissue considerately, "Looking at your circle of friends, you passed the audition. When will you join the crew?"

Han Ruoxing became interested when she mentioned work, "After New Year's Day, it will probably be around the New Year."

The new movie "Wall House" is a script adapted from a novel.

Wall House is a unique Hakka building. The background of the novel is set in the old times. At that time, the society was feudal and closed, and the control and oppression of women were particularly cruel.

After the death of her husband, a woman is not allowed to remarry and must stay in the walled house with high walls to keep her chastity for her deceased husband.

Young or old, in this town, no matter what your status, once you become a widow, you must stay here. Once you want to escape, you will be lynched by the tribe, labeled as a slut, and despised.

If you have a son and the son is willing to raise him, you don't have to go to the walled house. If you don't want to, even if you can't take care of yourself, you will be abandoned here.

The story unfolds from the first-person perspective. The narrator is a posthumous child born by a widow living in the walled house. After her husband died, the clan wanted to embezzle her property and refused to recognize the child's identity.

The child's mother hanged herself to prove her innocence, and the child was left in the walled house to be raised by the women here.

He used his eyes to witness the struggle and resistance of every woman in the walled house.

The novel is very well written. When Han Ruoxing finished reading it for the first time, she couldn't sleep all night. The tragic fate of every character in the novel who was shackled by the times kept coming back to her mind.

Although the story revolves around the rich man's fourth concubine, everyone in the story is actually flesh and blood and has their own destiny. This drama is more like a group portrait of women in the old times.

She likes this script very much, but the copyright was bought by her brother and filmed specifically for her, so the director actually had some opinions about her. She was not even allowed to go to the scene for the audition, and she just read a few lines in the video.

In fact, it is understandable that the director invited by Song Tianjun also liked the script, but he was not as quick as Song Tianjun, so he found Song Tianjun again and discussed with him whether the copyright of the script could be transferred to him.

Song Tianjun was very generous and said that he could let him shoot and even give him a share of the box office profits, provided that the heroine had to be played by Han Ruoxing.

The director is quite famous in the industry. Famous directors hate capital to put people in the play the most, but he liked this script very much. In the end, after struggling for a long time, he still agreed.

In the director's view, it's up to you whether you audition or not, so is there any need to audition? So he didn't even think about trying her properly.

But Han Ruoxing really liked this script, so even if she didn't please the director, she still took it shamelessly.

Han Ruoxing said, "When the filming starts, I will try my best. If the director still thinks I am not suitable, I will withdraw. It will not delay the script and will not leave regrets for myself."

Mo Mingxuan said gently, "The director is prejudiced against you because you joined the group as the investor. It is normal. In fact, what people hate is not that the investors insert people, but that the people inserted by the investors are incompetent and have airs. The capable should promote the virtuous regardless of their relationship."

Han Ruoxing was immediately comforted and said with a smile, "You are right. I will try my best to get into the director's acting."

Yang Yuwei's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them. She suddenly felt that the look in Mo Mingxuan's eyes when he looked at Han Ruoxing was really not innocent.

Before finishing the meal, Han Ruoxing's phone rang.

The person who was still talking to Mo Mingxuan saw the caller ID, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stood up with his phone and said, "Sorry, I'm going out to answer a call."

After that, he took the phone and went out.

As soon as Han Ruoxing left, Mo Mingxuan's eyes became visibly disappointed.

She calmly picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, her heart was very confused. Could the person Mo Mingxuan liked be Han Ruoxing, who was already in love?

My brother's girlfriend is my secret crush... You are really wild.

Han Ruoxing walked all the way to the terrace before answering the phone.

"Why did you answer the phone just now?"

Someone was dissatisfied.

"It was too noisy inside, I just came out." Han Ruoxing asked in a low voice, "Are you done?"

"Well," Gu Jingyan said, "I'll pick you up now, it will be too late if I'm late."

"Ah?"

Gu Jingyan whispered mysteriously, "A surprise prepared for you."

Han Ruoxing asked with a smile, "What surprise?"

"It's not a surprise if you say so, I'll be there soon, you start walking out."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Han Ruoxing went to pay the bill first, and then went to say goodbye to the two.

When Mo Mingxuan heard that she was leaving, he said, "I'll take you home."

"No need, Lawyer Mo, please help me take Miss Yang home. It's late at night, it's not safe for her to be alone."

Mo Mingxuan pursed his lips, "Okay."

Han Ruoxing thanked her and ran downstairs.

As soon as she left, Yang Yuwei pointed to the side and said, "She didn't take her phone."

Mo Mingxuan turned around and saw the phone on the table. He took it and said, "I'll give it to her. You pack it up. I'll wait for you downstairs and take you home."

After that, without waiting for Yang Yuwei's response, he chased after her.

Han Ruoxing had already walked to the side of the road and was looking back and forth, searching for Gu Jingyan's car.

"Ruoxing," Mo Mingxuan called her name and chased after her, "You forgot to bring your phone."

Han Ruoxing looked back and immediately cursed herself for being reckless. She took it and thanked him, "Thank you very much. If I had found it after I left, I would have been so worried."

Mo Mingxuan smiled, "It was Miss Yang who found it. I didn't notice it either--"

Before he finished speaking, his face changed, and he suddenly grabbed Han Ruoxing's wrist and pulled her over.

Han Ruoxing hadn't reacted yet, she felt a gust of wind brushing past her ears, and something brushed past her back.

She turned her head and only had time to see the back of a car.

Mo Mingxuan's angry voice was in her ears, "How do you drive!"

Since she was close, Han Ruoxing could clearly see his hands trembling slightly. (End of this chapter)
