"Mrs. Rong, you certainly don't have to be so self-deprecating. We definitely chose you for various reasons. You are very good, and I like your performance very much, there is no doubt about that."
"Besides that, Mrs. Rong and Mr. Rong have a very close relationship, which is really enviable."
She seemed to have mentioned the last sentence casually, but Meng Yao figured out some different meanings from it.
Meng Yao lowered her eyes and said hesitantly, "So... Rong Yan helped me get this audition opportunity? He made some investment, right?"
Huang Yan's voice seemed a little surprised: "Didn't Mr. Rong tell you?" She smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Rong wanted to give you a surprise, but I was reckless. He always finds ways to help you realize your wishes. The relationship between you two is really enviable."
Meng Yao didn't answer for a moment, her eyes fluctuating.
"I've thought about working with Madam Rong before, and it finally came true on this day. I look forward to our next meeting."
Meng Yao was upset and responded briefly before hanging up the phone.
Guan Liang saw that Meng Yao was visibly depressed, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? How did you become like this after going out to make a phone call?"
It doesn't seem quite right to say that she was depressed. She looked a little careless. Even when facing her favorite food, she couldn't concentrate and her mind was often distracted.
"Nothing..." Meng Yao drank the tea in the cup again.
"Since you have nothing to do, eat more. I never knew you liked tea so much. What's the point of drinking tea? Eat more!"
Guan Liang's attitude could even be described as enthusiastic due to the joy of a successful audition.
Xiao Song raised his head and persuaded Meng Yao to eat more. He had just finished a dessert and there were some milk stains on the corners of his lips.
"Okay, you guys eat too."
Meng Yao picked up the chopsticks, but her heart was actually in turmoil and she had no intention of eating at all.
The food that used to be delicious now tasted like chewing wax. Meng Yao took two bites and put it down, then took out her cell phone and played some games for a while.
Guan Liang sent Meng Yao back home. Meng Yao had just taken a few steps when she heard Guan Liang calling her.
Meng Yao turned around.
Guan Liang rolled down the window: "Meng Yao, go back and have a good rest. You haven't been in good condition recently."
Meng Yao nodded: "Thank you, Brother Liang."

After Rong Yan returned home, he still subconsciously looked towards the living room. To his surprise, he saw Meng Yao.
She was curled up on the sofa, holding a bunch of grapes in her hand, and putting them into her mouth from time to time.
Her favorite comedy show was playing on the screen.
Inexplicably, Rong Wei suddenly felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Perhaps he had imagined this scene more than once, that after finishing a day's work, he would be able to see the person he most desired to see. She didn't need to deliberately cater to him or be virtuous and manage the household, as long as he could see her, it was enough.
Feeling the burning and focused gaze from behind, Meng Yao turned her head.
She glanced at the clock again. It was just past seven o'clock, which was unexpectedly early for a workaholic like Rong Yan. Rong Yan once said that he would come back earlier, but she didn't expect him to be serious.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Meng Yao slowly came back to her senses from his voice and shook her head: "No, I want to chat with you. I have something to ask you."
chat
She usually seemed to be nonchalant about what she did, but now it was rare to see her so serious. Rong Yan couldn't help but become interested, and he walked over slowly.
If you listen carefully, you will find that his voice has long lost its initial coldness. The low voice is entangled with a unique tenderness, which sounds quite bewitching.
Meng Yao moved to the side and Rong Yin sat next to her.
Rong Wei's eyes moved slightly and his gaze rested on her cheek.
"Didn't I go to the audition a few days ago? Today I received news that I had passed the audition. You helped me with this, right?"
While Meng Yao was looking at Rong Yin, Rong Yin's eyes also did not miss any expression on Meng Yao's face.
It was strange, why wasn't she as happy as she thought
Rong Wei remembered Meng Yao's persistence and hard work in the entertainment industry, but she was not very excited after getting the role, which made Rong Wei a little unsure.
"What happened?"
"No surprises, so you really helped me get the role of the heroine?"
Rong Yan nodded, his eyes still focused: "I just want to make you happy."
Meng Yao's eyes were filled with some complexity: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not a big deal."
"Rong Yan... Are you doing all this to please me on purpose? Just like what happened some time ago, you want me to be willing to give birth to your child?"
"Yes and no."
Rong Yun lowered his eyes, thinking about how to explain this matter, when he suddenly heard Meng Yao speak:
"I don't have a high IQ or EQ, and I'm not a virtuous housewife. You... shouldn't do this."
In the plot, they are going to get divorced, sooner or later, and everything Rong Yan does is useless.
Rong Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of anger: "I don't understand, what do you mean by not to the extent of that?"
Meng Yao scratched her head in distress: "Xia Yansen said that you like sensible and knowledgeable people."
She lowered her head slightly, her voice sounding somewhat frustrated: "Your view on choosing a partner is totally inconsistent with mine, and we won't be able to go far."
Of course she couldn't talk about issues related to the plot directly, so she could only ask in this tactful way. It was impossible for Rong Ying, such a rational person, not to understand.
Suddenly, she felt a force in her arm. Meng Yao looked up and met Rong Yan's eyes.
His chest rose and fell slightly, and it was obvious that he was very angry. His eyes were slightly red, but he barely maintained his sanity.
Meng Yao felt a chill in his voice.
"Meng Yao, have you ever thought about divorce?"
His gaze was full of inquiry, leaving no room for escape.
Meng Yao suddenly felt a little guilty, but she was thick-skinned enough so she didn't show it on her face.
"I... I'm actually afraid of delaying you..."
Her playful and frivolous attitude intertwined with the sense of crisis brought by Ling Xiao, and Rong Wei let out a long breath.
"Meng Yao, I will tell you the truth..."
He suddenly lowered his body and stared straight into her eyes.
Meng Yao felt a slight pain in her arm, and she couldn't help but reach out to push.
The strength on my hands loosened a lot in an instant, but the feeling of restraint still existed.
"Want a divorce? It's impossible in this life!"
