Chapter 157: 128 Visit Tongtong (1st Update)_1 Chapter 157: 128 Visit Tongtong (1st Update)_1 Shen Tian wanted to become famous, to succeed and make a name for herself in the film and television industry, but she really didn’t want to be infamous.

After all, her parents had a certain social status. Moreover, she genuinely wanted to rekindle her relationship with Ye Sichen.

As Xia Tao said, she liked Ye Sichen, and both of his parents were people who could easily obtain resources. If she truly became the daughter-in-law of the Ye Family, wouldn’t her in-laws protect her?

Of course, she could also accept the role of a supporting actress. If Bai Dingkai decreed it, the money would be substantial.

Furthermore, if the drama became a hit, even if she was cursed to the skies by fans, she could later take on roles with positive energy to redeem herself.

In any case, the calculations all seemed quite favorable.

The script for “First Love” was really quite good, encompassing young people from campus life to social debutants, as well as young adults who had been striving in society for many years.

Overall, the target audience was very broad. Moreover, with Bai Dingkai personally participating in the entire filming process, it would be a major highlight within the industry.

There had been so much promotion for the script in the early stage that it was popular even before its broadcast. Now, they were gaining popularity even before shooting began.

Many agents, in order to get their artists involved in the shooting of this drama, could be said to have displayed all their powers behind the scenes, using all means at their disposal.

Although she had missed out on the lead role, there was still a spot for her as a supporting character.

Besides, the role that Bai Dingkai said would allow her to act naturally was the first supporting female character in the drama, whose scenes were not much less than the leading lady.

Just this role alone had many actors and agents secretly competing fiercely.

All she needed to do now was to nod her head, and it would be okay.

It seemed quite a good deal, no matter how she thought about it.

Only…

Shen Tian didn’t know what she was hesitating about. If she really took on the role, and if her acting was sky-high, would she become too associated with the character and ruin her other ambitions?

“Shen Tian, think it over carefully. If you can’t clear your mind, let Xia Tao help you. I have other things to do, so I’ll be going. I’ve already paid for my coffee; you just pay for yours,” Bai Dingkai said before standing up to leave.

Shen Tian wanted to stop him but couldn’t. Seeing that he seemed to have some urgent matter, she sat down, taking large, hurried steps, and called Xia Tao to discuss the matter.

Before she could finish the phone call, Bai Dingkai, who had returned, came over again, “Shen Tian, you didn’t steal Tang Su’s boyfriend, did you?”

“Mr. Bai, I really didn’t. Ye Sichen is my ex-boyfriend. After we broke up, can’t we still be friends? It’s just normal social interaction. Truly, Tang Su misunderstood,” Shen Tian explained helplessly.

“Alright, I understand,” Bai Dingkai said.

Having said that, Bai Dingkai once again drifted away like the wind.

Shen Tian: “…”

**

After getting out of the elevator and into the car, Tang Su was still in a daze.

Lu Han moved closer, buckled her seatbelt for her, and she was as inert as a puppet.

“What’s wrong? Got scared?” Lu Han didn’t greet Tang Su nor scold Bai Dingkai on the phone because he knew this guy’s nature too well.

His relationship with Tang Su couldn’t be hidden for too long.

He had only meant to teach Shen Tian a small lesson, never expecting that Bai Dingkai would take his new drama so seriously.

Actually, the men of the Bai Family were quite career-driven.

Once they decided to get serious, they would treat their work earnestly.

Like Bai Dingxian, he was the same.

Therefore, in Beijing, even if the men of the Bai Family had a reputation for being playboys, once they got married, they would protect their marriage and their family.

They were the kind of prodigal sons whose return for good was worth more than gold.

The women in Beijing didn’t care about the Bai Family men’s premarital indiscretions; securing them meant a stable and solid life for the rest of their days.

Lu Han’s actions and words were indeed a bit deliberate—he wanted to slowly let Tang Su know about his family.

He wanted her to first understand that, regardless of anything else, the men of his maternal family were pretty quirky and a bit neurotic but relatively normal.

Then, he would let Tang Su know that his parents had a large age difference—almost an entire generation apart.

If it hadn’t been for his mother marrying his father and giving birth to him, he would’ve had to call Lu Maoyan “Grandpa Lu” in any other family, not “Dad.”

As a kid, faced with the same two old men—one he had to call “maternal grandfather” and the other “dad”—he took a long time to slowly accept the reality.
