During the movie, Song Qinian and Gu Zhiyan sat in the front row.
Shen Chiyan was pulled to the back row by Lin Qiutong.
Lin Qiutong still held the baby's breath bouquet, her face full of pride and happiness.
After so long, she had finally held her head high in front of Song Qinian.
However, as long as Song Qinian and Shen Chiyan were not completely divorced, she would never be at ease.
At this moment, although they were sitting together, Shen Chiyan kept his eyes on the screen and didn't interact with her, which still made her unhappy.
It was a rare opportunity, and she couldn't let it go to waste.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiutong deliberately leaned closer to Shen Chiyan and said in a low voice, "A'yan, how much do you think "Hello, Miss Tree" will gross?"
Every time Lin Qiutong approached Shen Chiyan, she wished she could cling to him. Shen Chiyan's appearance, physique, and aura held a fatal attraction for her.
Her lifelong goal was to have him!
Shen Chiyan disliked being disturbed while watching a movie, but with Lin Qiutong by his side, it was a different story.
"Director Nie directed it, and Ms. Gu is acting in it, so the box office won't be low."
Lin Qiutong moved even closer to Shen Chiyan. "Do you think I performed well?"
"Hmm, commendable."
Lin Qiutong pouted, not entirely satisfied with the assessment.
"I'm telling you, I suffered a lot when I was filming this movie. You know what I'm most afraid of..."
Before Lin Qiutong could finish, Gu Zhiyan, in the front row, turned and gave her a cold, warning look.
Lin Qiutong's heart pounded, and she dared not speak further.
Seeing Lin Qiutong's embarrassed and frightened appearance, Shen Chiyan said softly, "Let's watch the movie first."
Lin Qiutong nodded, her gaze fixed on Gu Zhiyan's back, her eyes full of anger and malice.
Song Qinian, as if she hadn't heard Lin Qiutong and Shen Chiyan, watched the screen obediently.
She had always known Gu Zhiyan's acting skills were superb, and she was still amazed by Miss Tree in the movie.
Whether it was the plot, the acting, or the director's filming techniques, it quickly drew the audience in, allowing them to experience the joys and sorrows of Miss Tree's life through her perspective.
She was too immersed in the role. When the ending showed Miss Tree sitting alone under a dead tree, smoking, Song Qinian felt a pang in her heart and tears welled up.
Gu Zhiyan took out a tissue and wiped Song Qinian's tears. "Why are you so prone to crying?"
Song Qinian fumbled for the tissue, quickly wiped away her tears, and gestured to Gu Zhiyan, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I didn't say crying is a bad thing. Why apologize? Besides, people who cry easily are emotional and empathetic. It's a good thing."
Song Qinian's tears turned into a smile. "You acted so well, the movie will definitely be a hit."
Gu Zhiyan smiled slightly. "Thank you for your kind words."
Lin Qiutong, in the back row, saw how close Gu Zhiyan and Song Qinian were and was consumed by jealousy. Why did this damned Song Qinian make Gu Zhiyan look at her with such high regard?
She turned to say something to Shen Chiyan and saw his dark eyes fixed on Song Qinian, lost in thought.
Her mind instantly sounded an alarm. Lin Qiutong grabbed Shen Chiyan's arm, "A'yan, let's take a photo together later."
Shen Chiyan finally turned to look at Lin Qiutong. "You know I don't like taking pictures."
"Oh, just one photo, to commemorate my first movie. When we show it to my brother, he'll be so happy."
As expected, when Lin Feichi was mentioned, Shen Chiyan no longer refused.
"Let's go, let's go, let's take a photo in front of the screen."
Lin Qiutong took Shen Chiyan to the screen for a photo. Song Qinian glanced at the two of them indifferently and quickly looked away.
How could Lin Qiutong's little tricks escape Gu Zhiyan's eyes? Gu Zhiyan snorted and smiled at Song Qinian, "Are you hungry? How about we go for a meal?"
Song Qinian stared blankly and gestured, "Aren't you going to a press conference later?"
"A press conference is not as important as you."
Gu Zhiyan's words were domineering yet warm, making Song Qinian a little shy.
Seeing Song Qinian blush, Gu Zhiyan smiled and pinched her chubby cheek. "I never realized before that you blush so easily."
Song Qinian: "..."
My ex-mother-in-law is too flirtatious, what should I do? Waiting online, urgent!
The two left together, completely ignoring Shen Chiyan.
Although Shen Chiyan cooperated with Lin Qiutong for photos, his handsome face darkened when he saw Song Qinian and Gu Zhiyan leaving together.
Lin Qiutong saw this and looked at Shen Chiyan with feigned grievance. "A'yan, Aunt Gu seems angry. Why don't you go find them? I'm fine."
"No need. What do you want to eat later? I'll have someone book a table."
Lin Qiutong's heart leaped with joy, but then she seemed to think of something and pretended to ponder for a moment. "I haven't decided what to eat yet. I'll tell you after the press conference."
"Okay."
Lin Qiutong wasn't actually undecided about what to eat; she wanted to know which restaurant Gu Zhiyan and Song Qinian were going to so she could follow.
This was a great opportunity to hit Song Qinian and let Gu Zhiyan see who Shen Chiyan truly loved, and she didn't want to miss it.
After the press conference, Lin Qiutong and Shen Chiyan went to a Thai restaurant.
As expected, they saw Gu Zhiyan and Song Qinian inside. The two were chatting, and the atmosphere seemed very pleasant.
Lin Qiutong gritted her teeth, then put on a smile and said to Shen Chiyan, "A'yan, it's Aunt Gu and the others! What a coincidence."
Saying that, Lin Qiutong walked ahead and greeted Gu Zhiyan, "Aunt Gu, I didn't expect you to be dining here too."
Gu Zhiyan glanced at Shen Chiyan indifferently, then her gaze fell on Lin Qiutong's hypocritical face. She curled her lips and sneered, "Whether it was a real surprise or deliberate, only you know."
Lin Qiutong immediately looked wronged. "I... I really didn't know. I'm sorry... Then we'll move..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Zhiyan acted as if she didn't exist and smiled at Song Qinian, "Nian Nian, are you full?"
Song Qinian nodded.
"Then let's go."
Song Qinian picked up her bag and coat and obediently followed Gu Zhiyan.
As Gu Zhiyan passed Shen Chiyan, she whispered in a voice only they could hear, "My only flaw is poor judgment. I never expected my only son to inherit none of my good qualities, only this flaw."
Shen Chiyan: "..."
Song Qinian didn't even look at Shen Chiyan as she left the restaurant, which only made Shen Chiyan more annoyed, having been ridiculed by his own mother.
