Chapter 1303: Auditioning for a New Role
She doesn’t need their pocket money now and still gets by just fine. Obviously, Father Song is a bit flustered, unsure whether he’s afraid of losing control over her or worried about outsiders making fun of him. In any case, Father Song won’t allow her to move out before graduation.
"But staying at school is the same for now, no real impact. I only need to go home occasionally during holidays."
Ever since the blind date incident, Yun Qiluo hasn’t had any good feelings towards her family.
She asked, "They haven’t forced you to go on any more blind dates, have they?"
"No, my dad probably knows I’m unhappy, so he hasn’t mentioned it for now. But that woman won’t give up."
That woman refers to Song Shijia’s stepmother, the woman who was originally the mistress and clawed her way up. She can’t wait for Song Shijia to get married soon to exchange benefits for the Song Family, while also keeping her from being an eyesore at home.
Yun Qiluo wrinkled her little nose and said, "If you tell Ji Ruofeng, he would definitely help you."
Song Shijia shook her head without a second thought, "I don’t want to bother him with all this trouble; he’s already busy enough."
Yun Qiluo couldn’t quite understand her persistence.
Anyway, she always went to the beautiful woman whenever she had problems.
But since Shijia didn’t want to talk about it, there wasn’t much she could do.
A couple of days later, Yun Qiluo received an invitation to audition from the production team. Since all the other actors had been selected, and only the third female lead hadn’t been decided, they were moving quite fast.
As soon as school ended, Yun Qiluo had her driver take her to the audition location.
When she got there, two other actors were also auditioning.
Those two had received invitations as well. Because of the role, both of them had sweet and cute looks.
The difference was that Yun Qiluo was recommended by Xue Fan, so the investors and producers were more attentive to her and especially arranged her audition for the last spot to make a decision.
When she arrived, someone else was still auditioning inside, so she went into the chat group to chat idly.
In the middle of the chat, she received a call from Yan Yan.
"Are you nervous?"
Yun Qiluo shook her head, "Not really."
Yan Yan was calm too: "If the audition doesn’t go well, it’s fine, I’ll just buy the script later."
Yan Yan felt no shame in opening doors for his woman.
To him, his little one deserved to be pampered without reservation.
Yun Qiluo quickly stopped him, "Don’t, I want to rely on my own effort. If it doesn’t work out, then so be it."
While she was chatting outside, the second-to-last actor also finished their audition. However, the producer and director inside weren’t in a good mood.
The main issue was that the third female lead in the drama, Xue Yao, was quite a complex character—ruthlessly cold and cruel in her methods, yet pure and innocent at heart, possessing both a murderous, remorseless side and a naïve, gentle side.
Finding someone to embody both traits was extremely rare.
It’s easy to find someone with innocent and pure eyes, but adding a hint of cruel malice was particularly difficult here.
Furthermore, there aren’t many cute type actresses in this circle to begin with. They had already been searching for a long time before settling on the two from earlier, but neither was satisfactory.
The one left was introduced by Xue Fan, and although Xue Fan assured them that the role was perfect for her, they didn’t hold much hope.
The producer sighed, "Alright, since she’s here, let’s just see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll use the earlier one, reluctantly."
The others nodded in agreement, "That’s all we can do."
