From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 398: Visit to the Set
Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Visit to the Set
Nan Qiao woke up, picked up her phone, and saw a message from Bai Jingrui.
"Little sister, I’m heading to the set. The scenes I’m shooting recently are all in Jing City. Can you visit me this afternoon?"
"Sure, Third Brother. I’ll come after school. My last class ends at 3:30. I should be there by 5."
"That’s fine. You can come anytime as long as you’re visiting," Bai Jingrui replied joyfully.
Bai Jingrui told his assistant Da Jin, "Da Jin, book dinner for everyone at 5. Make sure the entire crew gets a share and say it’s from my little sister. I’ll cover the cost, but you must say it’s my sister who came to visit and bought dinner for everyone. Got it?"
Fearing the assistant wouldn’t understand, Bai Jingrui explained it in great detail.
Surprised, Da Jin asked, "Your sister?"
"Yes, my biological sister, Qiaoqiao. Hurry up and arrange it; make sure nothing goes wrong."
Da Jin nodded and got up to handle it.
He was genuinely delighted.
The manager, Brother Fei, sat down beside him and asked, "Brother Rui, is your sister visiting?"
"Yes, my sister loves her Third Brother the most. She’s been wanting to visit the set. But since we were filming outside of Jing City earlier, I didn’t agree. I was worried that traveling would tire her out. Now that I’m filming in Jing City, there’s no reason not to let her visit."
Brother Fei: ??
Brother Fei noticed Bai Jingrui’s raised lips. Mentioning his sister brought out a proud and happy expression on his face, as if her visit to the set was some great honor.
Curious, Brother Fei wondered, just what kind of person is Bai Jingrui’s little sister? A fairy from the heavens?
Brother Fei mused further: Bai Jingrui is so handsome himself, so his sister must be stunning, right?
Eagerly, Brother Fei brightened up and asked with a smile, "Brother Rui, your sister must be very beautiful, right?"
Mentioning Nan Qiao, who was usually reserved, Bai Jingrui suddenly became uncharacteristically talkative. "Of course, my sister is beautiful. She’s the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen. Smart and capable, stunningly attractive, pure and kind, and modestly polite. You’ll know how amazing she is when you meet her."
Brother Fei said, "Brother Rui, why not let your sister debut in the industry? Sign her with me—I promise I’ll promote her and make her an overnight sensation."
Excited, Brother Fei couldn’t finish speaking after meeting Bai Jingrui’s icy gaze.
"Let my sister debut? Are you crazy? Do you think I’m not earning enough money myself? Why should my sister need to earn money?"
Brother Fei felt super awkward and quickly tried to backtrack. "Brother Rui, look at me running my mouth—I must have said the wrong thing."
"My sister doesn’t need to earn money. I earn enough for her to spend. Stop getting any ideas about her."
Brother Fei nodded with an ingratiating smile. "Alright, no more. I won’t think about your sister at all."
But deep down, Brother Fei still wondered—was Bai Jingrui’s sister really as perfect as he claimed?
...
After school.
Nan Qiao packed her things and was about to leave when she saw Lv Cancan pulling out a banner and a light stick from her bag. The stick had Bai Jingrui’s picture on it.
Nan Qiao asked, "Cancan, where are you taking those things?"
"I’m going to visit my husband’s set."
Nan Qiao: "..."
Bai Jingrui... was her husband?
Lv Cancan said excitedly, "Bai Jingrui is my idol. I really like him. He’s filming in Jing City today, and Qingqing and I are going to the set to show our support." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Nan Qiao’s face broke into a wide smile. "You like Bai Jingrui a lot?"
"Of course! My Brother Bai has been in the industry for five years with no scandals and no bad press. His photos don’t need retouching, and he’s diligent, hardworking, and talented in acting, singing, and dancing. Who wouldn’t like an idol like him?"
Listening to Lv Cancan’s words, Nan Qiao nodded in agreement. "He’s indeed pretty great."
"Qiaoqiao, do you want to join us to show support?"
Nan Qiao shook her head. "Sorry, I have plans later."
"Okay, we’ll go ahead then. Hopefully, I can get an autograph from Brother Bai."
Nan Qiao watched Lv Cancan leave and pondered. Should she get an autograph for her later?
...
Li Yehan, knowing Nan Qiao’s class schedule and that she’d finish early today, immediately called her.
"Qiaoqiao, I’m not too busy today. Let’s have dinner tonight."
"Can’t have dinner with you. I’m going to visit my Third Brother on set."
Li Yehan: "..."
He was already contemplating asking Secretary Zhao to find a director and send Bai Jingrui to film some scenes far away from Jing City, lest he keep ’luring’ Qiaoqiao away.
"Then I’ll go with you. I’ve never been to a film set before—I’ll use the chance to check it out."
"Li Yehan, what’s there to check? Do you even believe what you just said? You’re a CEO; you should focus on work right now."
"Qiaoqiao, I’m not busy today. I’ll come pick you up."
Li Yehan mentioned a location where they could meet and hung up.
...
Bai Jingrui told Nan Qiao she didn’t need to prepare or bring anything—all she had to do was show up.
He also mentioned that he’d already planned to treat the whole crew to dinner, so there was no need for her to buy anything.
Thinking about how much her Third Brother had done, Nan Qiao wanted to do something extra.
Nan Qiao bought lots of snacks and even got Bai Jingrui a watch. Then, along with Li Yehan, she headed to the set.
Da Jin went to pick up Nan Qiao and Li Yehan.
When he saw the two of them, he froze—they were both stunningly attractive.
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan followed Da Jin. Soon, they reached Bai Jingrui’s lounge and saw him waiting there.
Bai Jingrui, smiling brightly, was full of anticipation for Nan Qiao’s arrival. But his grin faded slightly when he saw Li Yehan too.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Yehan’s thin lips curled into a slight smile. "I came with Qiaoqiao. She went shopping and drove alone—it would’ve been too tiring for her."
Li Yehan handed the items he was carrying to Da Jin and Brother Fei. The two quickly accepted them and scurried out, as if afraid lingering would spell disaster.
...
Only the three of them remained in the lounge.
Nan Qiao walked up to Bai Jingrui and pulled him to sit down.
"Third Brother, this is the gift I got you."
A gift from his sister—the thought made Bai Jingrui ecstatic.
Bai Jingrui took the gift, opened it, and saw it was a luxury watch.
"Thank you, little sister. I love it."
Nan Qiao smiled sweetly. "I’m glad you like it, Third Brother. Li Yehan helped me pick it out. Men understand men better. As expected, the watch Li Yehan chose is something you’d love."
Bai Jingrui: "..."
Could he take back what he said about liking it?
A watch chosen by Li Yehan?
Bai Jingrui glanced at Li Yehan. Nan Qiao added with a grin, "Li Yehan knew this watch was for you, Third Brother, so he was very thoughtful in choosing it."
Li Yehan smiled silently, sitting next to Nan Qiao.
"If you smile, it’s hard to hold a grudge." Although Bai Jingrui wasn’t in the mood to deal with Li Yehan, he softened for his sister’s sake.
"Sister, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Da Jin ordered some food earlier. I’ll have him bring it in for you."
"Thank you, Third Brother." Nan Qiao then added, "Third Brother, could you give me a few autographed photos? My roommate is a big fan of yours and is planning to come to the set today to show her support."
Bai Jingrui immediately found some photos, signed them, and handed them to Nan Qiao.
Whatever his sister asked for, he’d do.
