Chapter 151: The Misunderstood Younger Brother
Yicheng happily handed this matter over to Mufeng to handle.

Jiang Yuexi also returned to the Jiang family in the afternoon.
During dinner, Yuexi found an opportunity to speak. “Dad, I went for an audition today, but I didn’t expect that the role I wanted to fight for would be given to someone else.”
Before Jiang Chengye could say anything, Jiang Jixuan said, “Then, go and try out other roles. There are many roles, and you cannot expect to get a role just because you take a fancy to any of them.”
Yuexi only wanted to be the female lead.
Yuexi looked at her innocent brother opposite her and couldn’t help but kick him under the table. “But I want to play just this role. You guys have no idea that although this role doesn’t have that many scenes, it’s very challenging. But I didn’t expect the director not even to give me a chance to audition and tell me that the role has been given to someone else.

“It’s fine if I don’t do it well, but he didn’t even see how I acted.” Yuexi noticed that Deng Xu was dispirited during the audition and didn’t even look at her, “I’m a newbie, so I didn’t pick any important roles. I wanted to start from a small role. I didn’t expect even small roles to be taken away by people with connections.
“Ieven small roles toertainment industry, having no connections and capital is not enough. I don’t even have the chance to fight for a small role.” Yuexi grabbed Chengye’s wrist and acted coquettishly. “Dad, can you think of a way to let me play Bi Yuewu? Since connections decide those roles, it’s not a big deal for me to get it. I don’t want to be loconnections decide those roles want to not be taken seriously.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”Yuexi was shaking his arm, so he agreed helplessly. “I’ll… ”
“Bi Yuewu?” Jiang Jixuan suddenly spoke.
“What’s wrong?” Yuexi looked at him angrily.
Did Jixuan want to say something again?!
“Isn’t that role set for Jiang Xun?” Jixuan doubtfully looked at Yuexi’s coquettish face.
Chengye frowned when he heard that. “Jiang Xun went to audition? Isn’t she an influencer?”
“Yes!” Feng Nianzhen blurted out. “Is it that easy to enter the entertainment industry? Our Yuexi is a professional in the acting department. It’s difficult for her even to get a small role. She, Jiang Xun, is an influencer and got into the entertainment industry just like that. Many influencers who want to enter the entertainment industry failed to do so. What about her? First, she went to participate in variety shows, and then she went to audition. Isn’t this all going too smoothly for her?”
Nianzhen saw Chengye’s dark expression, and her heart beat hard. She sighed and said earnestly, “I’m just worried that Jiang Xun will be at a disadvantage. For the sake of participating in variety shows and acting, maybe she sacrificed something.”

Jiang Xun was a young and beautiful girl. What could she offer in exchange?
Nianzhen was just hinting that Jiang Xun might be using her body in exchange for these things.
“Before she became a well-known influencer, the general manager of Shanpin Media acted as her manager personally. Back, there were rumors that she and the general manager of Shanpin Media…” Nianzhen wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Jiang Xun wouldn’t,” Jixuan blurted out without thinking.
Others might not know, but he knew her too well. Of course, Jiang Xun wouldn’t have anything to do with the general manager of Shanpin Media.
If he were to say it out loud, it would scare them to death. Her backer was Mufeng!
The shocking scene of Mufeng being locked outside the small hotel by Jiang Xun was still in his mind, and he couldn’t forget it.
It was a pity that he had such a big secret, but he couldn’t say it out loud.
They became extremely quiet.
Yuexi looked at Jixuan suspiciously.
What was with Jixuan tonight?
He was always defending Jiang Xun.
“If she won’t, then she won’t.” Nianzhen smiled. “We’re just afraid that she’ll take the wrong path. Besides, she’s not the only one whose reputation would be affected. Your father’s reputation would be affected too.”
“That’s enough,” Chengye said in a low voice. “Jiang Xun is so arrogant and unforgiving. Do you think she wouldn’t do such a thing?”
Chengye thought that if anyone dared to have bad intentions toward her, she would cripple them.
Nianzhen didn’t say anything.
Yuexi looked at Jixuan. “But, how did you know that Jiang Xun will play Bi Yuewu?”
“She told me.” Jixuan sat up straight and glanced at Chengye smugly.
He was the only one with the best relationship with Jiang Xun in this family.
No one else knew about Jiang Xun, but he did!
Chengye didn’t know what to say.
What was this brat being so smug about??!
“You have a good relationship with her?” Chengye asked in a low voice.
“I think she’s a nice person.” In fact, he had always been the one who took the initiative to contact Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun would quickly reply to him every time and never found him annoying.
Today, he was also the one who was chatting with Jiang Xun on WeChat. He learned from Jiang Xun that she had gone to Shanghai to participate in the audition.
Yuexi secretly glared at Jixuan. Why was he so against her tonight?!
“Dad, I want to play the role of Bi Yuewu.” Yuexi tugged on Jiang Chengye’s sleeve and shook it coquettishly, “The role of Bi Yuewu is very challenging. Although the role is given to Jiang Xun, she hasn’t learned how to act. So how can she play the role well? Why don’t you go and do something about it and get the role for me? Give a different role to her to compensate her. They are all just small roles anyway. It’s not that different. Give her a role that isn’t that difficult so that she won’t be scolded if she doesn’t perform well.”
Unexpectedly, Jixuan had something else to say. “Since Jiang Xun was chosen for this role based on her ability, the director approved her acting skills. So how could she not perform well?”
Yuexi didn’t know how to respond to that.
Yuexi gritted her teeth and kicked Jixuan hard under the table, wishing she could break his leg.
Jixuan let out an ‘ouch’ and hugged his leg as he shouted at Yuexi, “Why did you kick me!”
Chengye said sternly to Yuexi, “What are you doing?”
Jixuan ignored Yuexi’s grievance and asked Chengye with a straight face, “Dad, are you really going to snatch Bi Yuewu’s role away from Jiang Xun and give it to Yuexi?”
“Do you not agree?” Chengye asked with a frown.

Yuexi stared at Jixuan in disbelief. Who was his sister?!
Moreover, when did she become second to Jiang Xun to him?
Did Jixuan think Jiang Xun was his sister?
Nianzhen secretly squeezed Yuexi’s hand under the table to comfort her. She must not make a fuss in front of Chengye now.
If there was anything happening, she could ask Jixuan alone.
“As you said, Bi Yuewu is an insignificant character. Why do you want it so bad? With you here, you can even get Yuexi a better character than Bi Yuewu. Why do you have to snatch Jiang Xun’s?” Jixuan exhaled deeply. “Jiang Xun is no longer going home.”
