Xu Qingyao didn't want to continue listening to their ambiguous conversation and simply hung up the phone.

After a while, Gu Peiran called back.

She couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she pressed reject.

Gu Peiran's phone rang over and over again, as if he was sure that Xu Qingyao would answer his call.

In the end, Xu Qingyao couldn't bear to be cruel and gave in.

"Hello."

She kept her voice very low, not wanting Gu Peiran to hear the sound of crying.

"What do you want to say to me?" Gu Peiran did not notice that her mood was wrong.

"It's nothing. I'm calling to ask you when you are free. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures."

"You haven't finished making trouble yet?"

Xu Qingyao took a deep breath and asked, "Gu Peiran, you know why I want a divorce."

Perhaps Xu Qingyao's sarcastic words irritated Gu Peiran, and he spoke with a bit of anger.

"If you want to get a divorce, you can pay off all the debts of the Xu family first."

"Xu Qingyao, don't forget who is maintaining your family's company now."

Xu Qingyao clenched her palms tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, and she felt a sharp pain, as if this could weaken the heartache at this moment.

"Be your wife, Mrs. Gu, and don't challenge my bottom line again."

Gu Peiran's ruthless words tore through the last line of defense. She who used to be so dedicated now actually looked stupid.

Their marriage was a complete transaction. She exchanged her youth for the Xu family's wealth.

After a long time, Xu Qingyao said in a solemn voice, "I will pay off the debt, Gu Peiran, let's stop the loss in time and let's break up."

"Stop the loss in time? Lose it in one fell swoop?" Gu Peiran almost laughed at Xu Qingyao's innocence, "Okay, don't regret it."

The phone call stopped abruptly.

Xu Qingyao looked at the extinguished screen and silently wiped away her tears.

She had to go to an audition in the afternoon and she couldn't make her eyes red from crying.

This is an important life-changing opportunity.

The Star Hotel is not far from Qiao Xiaorui's home, so Xu Qingyao packed herself up and walked there.

The crew introduced by Brother Guo is filming a short drama about sweet pets. The plot is simple. It tells the story of the male protagonist Hao Jie and the female protagonist Xiao Ru falling in love on campus. However, they were instigated by the female partner Zhang Xue to break up. After many years, the two reunited and rekindled their love.

, the story of Haojie’s passionate pursuit of his wife.

Since the candidates for the male and female protagonists have already been finalized by the management, the only audition roles left are the supporting female characters who keep acting like monsters.

The waiting room was crowded with audition actors. As soon as Xu Qingyao opened the door, they were scanning her up and down.

Although Xu Qingyao tried her best to reduce her presence, her appearance was too eye-catching. Standing in the corner was like standing in the center of the room, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"She looks so familiar. Could it be that she is an A-list actor?"

"How is it possible? This is just a short play that top-tier actors can watch?"

"It's strange, I always feel like I've seen her somewhere..."

There were whispered conversations around, but Xu Qingyao didn't answer, pretending to be indifferent.

The most taboo thing in auditions is to talk too much. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and too much talk can lead to mistakes.

After a while, the actors began to enter the conference room one by one.

Xu Qingyao's nervous palms were sweating. She hadn't acted for too long and felt a little unsure.

"No. 121, Xu Qingyao!"

Xu Qingyao took a few deep breaths and then walked out of the waiting room.

The actor who was talking softly just now looked at her back, thought for a moment, and suddenly patted his head.

"I remembered! She is the 'Little Ya'er' who was written into the teaching materials of the Beijing Film and Television Acting Department!!!"

In the conference room, director Lin Mingxu and the actor director had serious expressions. From morning to now, they had interviewed nearly a hundred people, but none of them met expectations.

The scheming female supporting role usually chooses a queen-type actor to amplify the negative feeling of the character, so the actors who come to audition are all the same.

But Lin Mingxu always wants to try new genres to dazzle the audience.

"How about we just choose one." The actor-director scratched his bald head and felt a headache.

"She's just a supporting actress anyway, so there's no need to put in so much effort."

"no way!"

"I don't have the right to choose the male and female protagonists. Is it possible that I don't have the right to choose the supporting roles?!" Lin Mingxu threw a stack of actor cards on the table and said through gritted teeth, "When will you choose the right one, when will you turn it on again!"

"But there are no such innocent and scheming actors as you mentioned!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will fire you." Lin Mingxu threatened.

The actor-director quickly raised his hands in surrender, "You are the boss, I shut up."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Lin Mingxu turned around and saw an exquisite-looking girl walking in.

"Hello director, I am audition actor No. 121, Xu Qingyao!"

Xu Qingyao has a slender figure and elegant manners. She stands there slim and graceful, like an elegant white swan.

Lin Mingxu picked up the actor card again, glanced at it casually, and shook his head uninterested.

The Zhang Xue he wants is the kind of innocent and scheming girl, not this noble young lady.

"The script is next to you, page 18, scene 11, start after reading it."

Lin Mingxu secretly dismissed Xu Qingyao and randomly selected a difficult scene without any hope for her performance.

Xu Qingyao was not affected by his attitude and read the script seriously.

In this scene, Zhang Xue succeeded in provoking Xiao Ru to break up, and then went to find Hao Jie to continue provoking the relationship.

Zhang Xue has a lot of lines, and the contrast between internal and external emotions is huge, which is a great test of the actor's acting skills.

She read it carefully several times, roughly figured out her acting ideas, and closed the script.

Xu Qingyao closed her eyes and quickly ran through the scene in her mind.

"No. 121 Xu Qingyao, the audition begins."

When she opened her eyes, her whole aura changed instantly, and her original elegant temperament was gone.

Xu Qingyao's face was full of innocence, and her voice became clearer, "Haojie, the first time I saw you, your face was full of vigor, but since you were with Xiaoru, you gradually stopped laughing. You changed your original

You have lost it, and you only think about Xiaoru every day. But even so, she doesn't know how to cherish you. You just reconciled, and she broke up again. This is basically playing with your feelings!"

She skipped the male protagonist's lines and continued, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to be separated from you."

After saying that, Xu Qingyao raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Mingxu. Her face was full of regret, but her eyes revealed joy and expectation.

At this moment, innocence and scheming are intertwined.

Xu Qingyao played Zhao Xue vividly.

"Stop, let's stop here."

Lin Mingxu looked at Xu Qingyao with an unclear expression.

Xu Qingyao didn't care about Lin Mingxu's interruption. She cleared her throat and got out of the role.

She smiled slightly and returned to her original dignified and elegant appearance.
