Run, Best Actor!

Chapter 44 My Cousin

"Thanks, Ah Le, for thinking of your cousin when something good happens."

A tall young man with a strong Liaoning Province Andong City accent smiled at Liu Taile.

"On the contrary, you never tell me anything."

Liu Taile said irritably, "We're getting married soon, and you're only now bringing this up with my family!"

Liu Yuning, have you never considered us family?!

That's right, the person in front of Liu Taile is Liu Yuning, the future male artist from Liaoning Province who started as an internet celebrity.

And coincidentally, he is Liu Taile's cousin.

The other party's grandfather is Liu Taile's grandfather's older brother.

The kinship isn't that distant.

That's right, this young man's life is really quite tragic.

He lost his father when he was 4 years old. His mother remarried and left him to live with his grandparents.

When Liu Yuning was a teenager, his grandmother also passed away, leaving him and his grandfather to depend on each other.

An elderly person's pension certainly cannot cover their high school or even college tuition.

Moreover, he wasn't a very good student.

Therefore, after graduating from junior high school, he did not attend a regular high school, but instead went to a vocational school.

He later graduated from Andong City Culinary Technical School No. 2 and entered the workforce early to ease the family's financial burden.

Liu Taile's family moved to Heilongjiang Province in their early years, and his grandfather passed away early, so only his father, Liu Renxian, still had some kinship ties with them.

Liu Renxian attended the funerals of Liu Yuning's father and grandmother.

Especially when his grandmother passed away, Liu Renxian brought Liu Taile with him.

Therefore, Liu Taile and Liu Yuning knew each other when they were young.

At that time, Liu Renxian wanted to sponsor Liu Yuning, at least to let the child go to high school and then get into a junior college.

However, Liu Yuning's grandfather refused to do anything about it.

Back then, the two brothers, Grandpa Liu (Grandpa Liu Yuning) and Grandpa Liu Er (Grandpa Liu Taile), had separated their family property. Grandpa Liu already felt guilty about his younger brother's early death after going north, so naturally he had no face to use his nephew Liu Renxian's money.

Liu Yuning herself was also firm and refused Liu Renxian's financial assistance.

This made Liu Renxian quite unhappy at the time, as he felt that the grandfather and grandson were really unreasonable.

Later, Liu Renxian expanded his logistics business to Liaoning Province and wanted to recruit Liu Yuning into the company, offering him a job.

However, the young man refused again.

He had a dream: he wanted to be a singer, to become famous overnight and make a lot of money so that his grandfather could live a good life!

What Liu Renxian and his son Liu Taile didn't expect was that Liu Yuning would actually succeed later on, and achieve quite a lot.

After hearing what Liu Taile said, Liu Yuning was silent for a while before speaking, "My grandfather is getting old and wants to see his great-grandson as soon as possible, so I..."

"So you just randomly started dating someone?"

Liu Taile frowned and said, "We're brothers, so I'll be a bit blunt. Don't take offense."

I subtly inquired about that young woman; she's not your type. Even if you two get married, it probably won't last long.

"Yes, so the wedding is off now."

Liu Yuning gave a bitter smile. "Her family already looked down on me for being poor, unable to even afford the three gold pieces. Now that they know about my unrealistic ideas, they naturally don't want to continue being with me."

I really feel bad for Grandpa, making him worry about me again.

What Liu Yuning was referring to was his somewhat unrealistic "singer dream".

In the original timeline, Liu Yuning never mentioned when she got divorced.

But it was most likely before 14.

In 14, he formed the Modern Brothers band with two friends and started singing on online platforms.

No woman could stand it if her husband streamed live until late at night every day and was never home.

Therefore, it is highly likely that his first marriage lasted less than two years.

In this timeline, Liu Taile plans to cross over into acting. Remembering his cousin's future achievements, he decides to ask him for help.

Coincidentally, this guy was short of money for his wedding and, having nowhere else to turn, asked Liu Taile's family for money for the first time.

That's how Liu Taile's family found out he was getting married.

Liu Taile then remembered that there was such a thing.

I urgently contacted the other party and invited them to try their luck in the entertainment industry.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuning said on the phone, "I've waited almost 20 years for this opportunity! I want to prove myself, not to show off how amazing I am, but to tell others that I will definitely become incredibly famous!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Taile said, "..."

By the way, who taught you to combine the lines of Mark Gor and Iron Legs Sing into one?

Although it's a bit cringey, it does sound quite imposing.

So, Liu Yuning excitedly went back to tell his fiancée about this "good news," only to be met with a "big nose" response—choose between settling down and continuing the marriage, or breaking up and continuing to live with your unrealistic dream of becoming a star!

Oh, and here's something to mention: because he didn't want to cause trouble, Liu Yuning never told anyone that his cousin was Liu Taile.

That day, Liu Yuning didn't sleep a wink; she thought about it all night.

The next morning, he broke up with his fiancée in a hoarse voice.

He didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.

He also failed to provide a sufficient dowry, which is why they haven't registered their marriage yet.

Otherwise, you'll have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get another certificate.

This way of breaking up is convenient; everyone can separate their belongings and money, and then never see each other again.

"Alright, just consider it a breakup. At your age, I don't think this is the first time."

Seeing that Liu Yuning's mood wasn't actually as good as he appeared, Liu Taile couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "In the future, when we two brothers venture into the entertainment industry, I'll help you find a good girl to be my sister-in-law."

"Get lost!"

Liu Yuning laughed and scolded, "I don't need you to worry about me. You should think about your own things first."

You made such a big fuss about chasing after Yang Mi, but it turns out she didn't even like you. And please, stop mentioning you're from the Liu family; it's a disgrace to your ancestors!

The Liu family is historically famous, with many members being succubi.

Putting aside everything else, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei, these three men, were all possessors of "domineering charm," making them incredibly successful in attracting mates.

Unfortunately, the girls Liu Taile pursued before didn't seem to be of the Liu family line.

"You bastard!"

Liu Taile gritted his teeth and said, "That mouth of his is really vicious. I wonder which girl will be able to put up with it in the future."

"It doesn't matter, it's their loss if they don't like me."

After bantering with Liu Taile, Liu Yuning reverted to her usual self, "By the way, when are you going to be able to run and jump normally again?"

"We'll have to remove the steel plate at least once."

Liu Taile sighed helplessly, "So before that, I have to ask you to help me find a stand-in for Dangdang."

"I knew it, this kind of money must be hard to earn."

Liu Yuning nodded, then flashed a roguish smile. "But speaking of stunt doubles, you need someone with a similar build, right? You want me to be your stunt double? Are you sure?"

"What's wrong? Aren't we two brothers quite similar in build?"

Liu Taile blinked in confusion.

"Who said that?"

Liu Yuning grinned mischievously, "I'm almost three centimeters taller than you, the same height as you?"

"I xxxxxxx"

Liu Taile could no longer hold back and blurted out a string of "birds singing and flowers blooming".

Hahaha~~~
