After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 119 Maybe it really is sunny outside?

After they explained, Ye Sanqing raised his hand and asked, "Can I join?"

Ye Wanyin, who was just wondering how to interject, was taken aback when she was beaten to it.

I never would have guessed, Ye Sanqing! I thought you wouldn't do something like this to gain fame and reputation, but I didn't expect you to be even more enthusiastic than me!

Ye Sanqing didn't think too much about it. He just felt that the happy feeling he had last night was novel, and that if he joined a foundation that helps others, he would be able to experience this feeling more.

“If Third Sister is interested, we can discuss it in detail later,” Gong Yao nodded and said.

In this kind of matter, many hands make light work, but one cannot act arbitrarily. If one does not have a firm resolve, it might be better to simply donate.

But in front of the camera, it's best not to be too specific.

"I want to join too!" Ye Wanyin hurriedly chimed in.

"Those who want to join, let's talk again after today's show," Gong Yao said, then waved his hand to indicate that the topic was over.

Tong Wuyu didn't speak. Of course, she knew this was a good opportunity, but she was about to go abroad, so who cared about such things?

What she didn't know was that Ye Wanyin became suspicious of her simply because she didn't follow Ye Wanyin's lead.

"Then I..." Deng Lingxuan wanted to say that she would join too, which sounded like a good thing, but then she remembered that she didn't have any money at all. Her work contract and financial control were all in her mother's hands... At least for now, she didn't have any money.

"Xuanxuan, let's talk about it tonight." Ji Wan knew what she was thinking just by looking at her like this, and comforted her.

"Wow, they really have too much money to burn. Why don't they share some with me?"

Gao Feibai is just that sarcastic.

He developed a high fever after going back yesterday... which is normal. In the dead of winter, there aren't many people with strong constitutions who can avoid getting sick after being trampled on the ground and showered with cold water.

Fortunately, the medical team was very helpful, and his fever had subsided by the morning. However, he did not listen to the doctor's advice to rest and insisted on going out to appear on camera.

Gao Feibai was simply unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to steal some of the spotlight from these people, which is why he ignored the doctor's advice.

His words were directed at Deng Lingxuan, but it was Gong Yao who responded to him.

"That's hilarious. I have a lot of money, so what? I'm not giving it to you, so what? You have a problem with that? Then go ahead and sue me."

Talking to this kind of person about conscience or the need for help from victims is pointless; they simply won't listen. They're the kind of people who think making money is easy with their legs spread wide open.

He might even think that the victims are getting a great deal by receiving financial assistance as a result. Trying to have a normal conversation with this kind of person will only make you feel disgusted.

So Gong Yao simply gave up.

“Yes, I have plenty of money too. What are you going to do about it? You don’t like it? If you don’t like it, come and rob me. Try it!” Ye Sanqing said.

"Let's ignore him, he's going to pull another stunt later." Ye Jin'er glanced at Gao Feibai and said with a grin, "Even if Dad laughs at you to death, you won't inherit his estate. Sigh~ Worried? Worrying won't help~"

Ye Jin'er doesn't publicly express her support because she never discloses such matters publicly.

He doesn't need these things to enhance his reputation; quietly donating money in private is enough.

Of course, he didn't object to Ye Sanqing openly saying she wanted to join; that's more in line with her personality!

Ye Siqing, who had no independent source of income, remained silent. Cheng Yanye didn't take the matter to heart at all, and Mu Zhihong didn't care either; he had plenty of ways to gain fame and reputation.

Mu Zimo hesitated, wanting to join, but Sheng Hanyu glanced at him casually, and he thought... it was better to remain silent.

Sheng Hanyu and Pei Canxing didn't need to say anything special at this time; of course, they would fully support their sister's affairs.

"Fine, you guys have a lot of money, you're great, okay?" Gao Feibai said irritably.

"You can't be that forgetful..." Ye Jin'er looked him up and down several times. "We just said yesterday that you wouldn't take a single penny from your sister, so what's the rush now?"

"Don't be too controlling of other people's wallets," Sheng Hanyu added.

Deng Lingxuan suddenly said, "Yes, from now on, all my money will belong to me."

During dinner last night, Deng Lingxuan noticed something while observing the casual interactions among everyone.

In fact, she had never experienced such a peaceful and warm family life in her memory.

As far back as she can remember, she felt like she was always rushing between different film crews. She would occasionally attend cultural classes, but not many. Almost all of her time was spent acting.

While most people are happily playing in elementary school, she was struggling to get a full night's sleep every day.

At that time, as a relatively rare child star, she had to attend a lot of events, and her schedule was ridiculously packed.

Mealtimes were always rushed, and all that could be seen were her mother's or father's serious faces. No one ever asked her what she liked or disliked to eat; they simply ordered her to finish whatever they considered nutritious, regardless of the portion size.

Her parents explained, "Xuanxuan is so popular that she gets so many jobs. Of course, everyone loves our Xuanxuan!"

As they get a little older, it becomes, "They're blind, that's why they didn't choose Xuanxuan for acting. Don't be afraid, Xuanxuan, it's not that you can't act. Acting classes? You don't need them. Aren't you talented enough? You can work hard on your own."

Finally, and most recently, "Xuanxuan has gained weight again, she should eat less... What? You don't want to take these roles? How can you be picky about roles as an actor? You need to know that there are only bad movies, not bad actors. If you think this movie is bad, it must be because you haven't worked hard enough."

Recalling the later part of the story, Deng Lingxuan found the scene of everyone laughing and chatting irritating and almost broke down in tears at the dinner table.

But she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so she maintained the atmosphere until dinner was over before preparing to find a place to cry.

Just as Deng Lingxuan was hesitating whether to go back to her room to cry—although she knew that Ye Wanyin would comfort her if she saw it, she inexplicably felt that she didn't want to reveal her inner thoughts in front of Ye Wanyin—Ye Sanqing called out to her.

Ye Sanqing, who had been at odds with her from the start, asked her, "Are you in a bad mood?"

As soon as she said that, tears streamed down her face.

why?

Even Ye Sanqing, who wasn't exactly a close friend, could notice her emotions, so why had her parents never noticed?

Or perhaps, they noticed it but chose to ignore it.

She didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

Ye Sanqing immediately took her back to the room and told everyone else to leave.

After that, Ye Sanqing left, and as he closed the door, he said to her, "I'm not good at comforting people, but I guess you need a quiet place right now. Don't worry, no one will bother you."

Deng Lingxuan also knew that if she broke down and cried on camera at this time, she was very sure that people would criticize her for stealing the limelight the next day, since Yin Xiangming had done such a thing.

She already knew the world wasn't what she used to think, but she didn't want to face the harsh reality so directly.

Deng Lingxuan had a good cry, and it didn't take long for her to get ready. When she went to open the door, she saw Ji Wan waiting outside.

Ji Wan sighed as soon as he saw her.

"Xuanxuan, you've worked so hard in the past."

"Where is Master Ye? I'm so sorry to have occupied her room for so long, I need to thank her." Deng Lingxuan felt like crying again when she heard Ji Wan's words. She sniffed and forced herself to hold back.

"Go down and warm yourself by the fire." Ji Wan's tone was full of pity, but even more so, helplessness. "Your uncle isn't very capable, and if we're talking about helping you, there's probably not much he can do. I only found out today that they were using your money. If you want to get out of this situation, maybe... you'll still have to rely on yourself."

"I'm fine," Deng Lingxuan said firmly.

Although it's not good to compare one's suffering with others, Yin Xiangming's situation is much better because she can bravely speak out in front of the camera despite such harm.

“I will consult a lawyer when I get back to see how to handle this matter,” Deng Lingxuan said. “Then I will move out of my house. If my uncle doesn’t think I’m a burden, I will go to your place and work as an extra with you.”

"Xuanxuan?" Ji Wan wanted to persuade her, but the days of being an extra and taking odd jobs were not so easy. He had suffered enough from being an extra and did not want his niece to suffer with him.

"Of course, I don't think I'll only be doing bit parts, right?" Deng Lingxuan smiled playfully. "If I can get the rest of my savings, I'll go to an acting training class and try to find some roles that can really hone my acting skills. I don't pick and choose roles, so I'll be able to get some."

"After all... I can't do anything but act, and this is the only path I can take."

Deng Lingxuan's words were filled with both despair and hope, leaving Ji Wan momentarily speechless.

“You might step out from under the umbrella and find that it’s not raining outside,” Ye Jin’er said as she walked over.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just saw you come out and wanted to go back to my room." There wasn't much apology in his words, but it was also rare that he was genuinely apologizing.

"Really? Maybe it really is a sunny day outside." Deng Lingxuan laughed, looking up at the starry sky.

Back to the present, after Deng Lingxuan finished speaking, Gao Feibai jumped up and shouted, "So you're saying we're using your money?"

"What I say is no longer important." Deng Lingxuan didn't want to explain to him anymore. Since none of them treated her as family, from now on, her only family would be her uncle.

Of course, there was no need to tell him on camera that he was going to find a lawyer when he got back.

“You…” Gao Feibai belatedly realized that something was wrong.

His obedient and well-behaved cousin seems to have picked up some terrible bad habit. Why does she speak like a young lady like Ye Sanqing or Gong Yao?

He felt things were going off track, but he couldn't figure out where they were going off track.
