Chapter 169: Guardianship

Qin Qiao'er added, "If possible, let Li Moli continue acting. I don't want her to lose this opportunity because of me. Maybe she sacrificed other things just to fulfill her dream."

Qin Qiao'er recalled what Brother Zhi had told her about his former companions. She thought it was not easy for anyone to make a living in the entertainment industry, so it was better to leave some chances for others.

Zhao Youting promised her and then said, "Just pursue your dream. I'll always be behind you, guarding it for you."

Hearing this, Qin Qiao'er's eyes welled up with tears again. Zhao Youting didn't expect her to cry again. He wiped her tears in a hurry and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No. I just want to thank you for respecting my dream and always thinking about me. It's really lucky for me to meet you," Qin Qiao'er said sincerely to Zhao Youting.

"I just hope the person I love can become better," Zhao Youting said seriously as he gently held Qin Qiao'er's face. "Then I'll feel happy, too."

Just then, there was a knock on Zhao Youting's door. He and Qin Qiao'er quickly separated.

"Come in."

A small figure poked in from outside. It was Qin Wanwan. She stood at the door, hesitating as she looked at Qin Qiao'er inside, but she didn't dare to come in.

Qin Qiao'er immediately burst into laughter through her tears. "What are you standing there for? Come in quickly."

Qin Wanwan rushed up to Qin Qiao'er and threw herself into her arms. She looked up worriedly and said, "Mom, why are you crying? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you just now. Did I make you unhappy?"

Qin Wanwan was a bit flustered. She thought it was her fault that made Qin Qiao'er sad. After Qin Qiao'er left, Qin Chenchen had already scolded her.

Qin Chenchen said Mom worked so hard outside to make money so that they could live a better life. They shouldn't have said such harsh words to Mom just because of a small mistake.

Qin Wanwan had reflected on it for a long time. She wanted to apologize to Qin Qiao'er when she came out. But she waited and waited, but Qin Qiao'er didn't come out. So she came to Zhao Youting's room.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Qin Qiao'er crying. She thought it was her who made Qin Qiao'er cry. She felt at a loss and thought she was really a bad girl.

Qin Qiao'er looked at Qin Wanwan and gently stroked her face. "It's okay, baby. Mom didn't cry because of that."

Hearing that Qin Qiao'er didn't cry because of her, Qin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. Then she hugged Qin Qiao'er tightly and said, "I won't make you angry again."

Qin Qiao'er felt the warm little body in her arms. Her heart softened instantly. Although she had suffered a lot of unfair treatment, there were always people by her side.

Suddenly, Qin Wanwan got up from Qin Qiao'er's arms, stood on the ground and pointed at Zhao Youting. "Did Uncle Youting make you angry?"

Zhao Youting, who was standing beside them, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was just standing there, but it seemed that he had been blamed by accident.

Qin Qiao'er also burst out laughing. "No. Uncle Youting was just comforting me. I'm okay now. Don't worry." Then Qin Qiao'er pinched Qin Wanwan's little nose.

At this time, Qin Chenchen quietly poked half of his body in from the door. He had planned to come in and stop Qin Qiao'er from being too angry with Qin Wanwan when she was angry.

But he eavesdropped at the door for a long time, and it seemed that nothing had happened. He also let out a sigh of relief. It was best that nothing happened.

Taking this opportunity, he came in and said to the people in the room, "It's time for dinner. The food is ready."

Qin Qiao'er stood up, wiped the tears on her face, picked up Qin Wanwan and followed Qin Chenchen downstairs.

Zhao Youting also lifted his feet and was about to follow them downstairs. But just as he took a step, he suddenly realized something.

Just now, Qin Qiao'er didn't refute when Qin Wanwan called him Uncle Youting. Before, Qin Qiao'er always called him Uncle Youting. This was the first time she had used this term.

Zhao Youting thought happily in his heart that Qin Qiao'er should have accepted him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Qin Wanwan call him Uncle Youting.

Such a simple thing made Zhao Youting happy from upstairs to downstairs. When having dinner, he still thought of this thing from time to time and showed a strange smile at the dinner table.

The next day, Zhao Youting began to investigate who had so much power that the whole crew would obey him.

After the investigation, Zhao Youting knew the difficulties the crew was facing and the director's hardships. It was because of the lack of investment.

It turned out that the person who threatened to withdraw the investment was the current competitor of their company. Zhao Youting sneered and thought to himself, "He not only offended me but also my woman."

He picked up the phone and asked his secretary to collect some information about this company and send it to his office as soon as possible.

While Zhao Youting was solving this problem for Qin Qiao'er, Qin Qiao'er was practicing in the theater. She received an unexpected call.

The call was actually from Li Fujin. They had left their phone numbers with each other before. Unexpectedly, Li Fujin really called her.

"Why did you suddenly call me?" Qin Qiao'er was a bit confused.

Because her role in the play had been greatly reduced, she believed that Li Fujin should have received the new script. Now the interaction between them had also become much less and more superficial, with nothing worth exploring.

Li Fujin said bluntly, "Don't be too sad. I've seen the changes in the script. To be honest, I don't even want to act in it anymore with the script like this."

Qin Qiao'er quickly dissuaded her. "Don't say that. Although my role has been changed a lot, overall it's still a good movie."

Li Fujin was silent for a while. "Is this your first movie?"

Qin Qiao'er didn't know why Li Fujin asked this, but she still told her the truth.

Li Fujin sighed. "I didn't expect you to encounter such a thing in your first movie."

Then Li Fujin told Qin Qiao'er about her early days in the entertainment industry. She had been working hard in the showbiz since she was very young. She had no power or influence, and all she could rely on was her own ability. She tried her best to survive in this industry.
