Run, Best Actor!

Chapter 7 Civil and Military Surnames

"What are you 'huh' for?"

Yang Mi retorted playfully, "You don't want to?"

"Yes! Yes! I'm willing!!"

Liu Taile hurriedly replied.

Only a fool would refuse.

"It was just a bit too sudden."

Liu Taile asked with concern, "Sister Mimi, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized I misjudged the person before."

Yang Mi replied calmly.

The story goes back a few tens of minutes.

After leaving the house, Yang Mi first went to her assistant, Sun Ting, to find out what was going on.

Then I learned that it was indeed her visit to Liu Taile that had been photographed.

"Honey, Weibo is in an uproar right now!"

Holding her laptop, Sun Ting said to Yang Mi somewhat nervously, "There are a lot of negative comments."

"What did they say?"

Yang Mi asked calmly.

"Well……"

Sun Ting carefully organized her thoughts, "Most people still praise you, Sister Mi, saying that you and Xiao Le have a true friendship."

However, quite a few people were clearly deliberately stirring up trouble, saying that Honey, your immediate visit to Xiao Le seemed to go beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship.

Does that mean I'm two-timing?

Yang Mi raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat amused, and said, "Didn't everyone say I was blind before because I didn't choose Xiao Le? Has the rhetoric changed now?"

"Honey, what should we do?"

Sun Ting asked somewhat anxiously.

"What's the panic?"

Yang Mi firmly stated, "I have acted uprightly and walked the straight path. I haven't done any rotten things, so why should I be afraid of being slandered by others?"

Besides, that's how I've been doing it for over a year now, it seems like everything I do is wrong.

But I haven't done anything wrong, my conscience is clear, so why should I care what others say!

"Honey, aren't you going to talk to Jia-jie and hold a press conference to clarify things?"

Sun Ting knew Yang Mi had a strong heart and these minor troubles wouldn't hurt her, but she still suggested, "Since we're innocent, how can we let others slander us?"

"I came out of the ward to call Sister Jia."

Yang Mi explained, "Yes, you're right, we really need to discuss it with Sister Jia."

Just then, her phone rang.

Yang Mi thought it was Zeng Jia calling again, but when she picked it up, she found it was Liu Kaiwei calling.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Mi answered the call, "Hello, Kaiwei."

"You're really something, Yang Mi."

A cold, Cantonese-accented Mandarin voice came from the other end.

Yang Mi's face darkened. "Get to the point. Who are you talking to with such sarcasm?"

"Why did you turn off your phone? I couldn't reach you for almost a whole day!"

"I'm on a plane, and my phone is in airplane mode."

"Haha~~"

The person on the other end seemed to laugh in exasperation, "Fine, you fly straight to London whenever he has something to do. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's your boyfriend!"

"What did you say?!"

Yang Mi also became famous, saying, "I told you before we started dating that I would keep my distance from other male friends, but Xiao Le is my adopted younger brother. We used to be very close, and I will continue to take care of him in the future."

Besides, don't you know how much he helped me with that drama "Under the Zhengyang Gate"?

Now that he's in such a serious situation, shouldn't I come to see him, both morally and logically?

"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

The voice on the other end also rose in pitch, "Yang Mi, I'm your boyfriend, but you actually flew halfway around the world to see another man, and you didn't even tell me!"

I even learned about this from the news. Do you think this is true?

"That's not right."

Yang Mi actually admitted it, then sneered and asked, "But you, Ying'er, and Zhou Xiuna, didn't report to me when you filmed intimate scenes in the movie, did you?"

"When I even visited the set, they were actually filming that kind of scene. What do you take me for?"

There was a long silence on the other end.

Yang Mi was referring to the movie "HOLD LOVE".

She turned down that movie because she was going to film "Under the Zhengyang Gate".

It was a terrible movie to begin with, and if it weren't for the high viewership brought by the "Wei Mi" couple, it probably wouldn't have made much money at the box office.

Yang Mi was determined to film "Under the Zhengyang Gate," and the film "HOLD Love" couldn't be canceled after it was approved, otherwise Liu Kaiwei would have wasted his time as producer.

So Liu Kaiwei asked Ying'er, an actress he had previously worked with on the hit drama "Sealed with a Kiss," to fill in for him.

Since the "Weimi" couple can't be paired up, let's have the "Qianxue" couple reunite to make up for it.

Ying'er didn't have many good movie resources to begin with, but a movie script for a female lead fell from the sky, and she happily accepted it regardless of whether it was a bad movie or not.

In the original version of "HOLD住爱", Yang Mi, a top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry, was definitely cast as the lead actress for the sake of box office success.

Since Yang Mi withdrew from the show, Liu Kaiwei took over as the lead actor, and the main storyline was changed from a female perspective to a male perspective.

In order to generate buzz, Liu Kaiwei specifically asked the screenwriter to add a lot of erotic scenes.

If it were Yang Mi, she definitely wouldn't agree.

But Ying'er wasn't so assertive; she let Liu Kaiwei arrange things as he pleased.

And that sexy Hong Kong actress, Zhou Xiuna, doesn't shy away from erotic scenes.

Then Liu Kaiwei realized that it was actually quite good that Yang Mi didn't film this movie; he could have romanced two beautiful women in the film and enjoy the bliss of having two wives!

They were having so much fun that they forgot about the day Yang Mi visited them on set.

As a result, Yang Mi, who was filming "Under the Zhengyang Gate," took some time out to visit her boyfriend on set, only to find him filming an intimate scene with someone else...

Well, I went with Liu Jialing to visit my husband, Leung Chiu-wai, on the set of "Lust, Caution," and we happened to run into Leung Chiu-wai and Tang Wai filming a steamy scene that was quite something...

Yang Mi watched Liu Kaiwei film his intimate scene with two women with a blank expression, then left without saying another word to him, after distributing gifts to the other crew members.

Liu Kaiwei was initially nervous, but seeing that he couldn't appease Yang Mi in a short time, he gave up and later even became self-righteous again.

Even without you, Yang Mi, I can still make this movie, and I can even make it better. Why should I comfort you?

But that handsome man only lasted three days.

Because the two of them were going to collaborate on the film "Midsummer's Love," a project that had been agreed upon long ago, they couldn't break the contract.

Moreover, his current status is not as high as Yang Mi's, so he can only bow his head.

Yang Mi also felt that she shouldn't be too petty, after all, they had only been in a relationship for a few months, and it would be a bit frivolous to break it off over something like this.

The two reconciled while filming "The Summer of Love".

But a thorn is still stuck in my heart.

Now it has clearly erupted.

"It's been months, and you still can't get over it?"

Liu Kaiwei got angry again, "We are actors, isn't it normal to have those kinds of scenes when filming?"

Besides, you had kissing scenes in movies like "Love in the Buff" and "The Bullet Vanishes," did I say anything about that?

"I told you beforehand, I mentioned it when I received the script."

Yang Mi replied calmly, "And as far as I know, many of the intimate scenes in that movie were added at your own request."

Haha~~ Enjoying the bliss of having two wives in a movie, you've got quite the idea!

"Tch~~ How dare you say that now?"

The other end scoffed, "I might only experience it in a movie, but you're enjoying it in real life!"

"Hey, you surnamed Liu, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Mi is now infamous, with the caption, "Does this mean I'm two-timing?"

"Isn't that right?"

Liu Kaiwei retorted with a cold laugh, "I knew you had to take that role in 'Under the Zhengyang Gate,' it doesn't fit your current acting style at all."

So it was your "good younger brother" who found you the script. You must be overjoyed.

Now that your "good little brother" is in trouble, aren't you heartbroken?

Leaving everything behind in China, they flew there immediately to visit her; what deep affection and loyalty!

"Phew~~"

Yang Mi, her face flushed with anger, took two deep breaths.

Suddenly I felt a little funny.

How blind must she have been to find something like this?!

"The one surnamed Liu."

She said something, and then her voice suddenly rose eight octaves, "Go to hell! You Hong Kong scoundrel, you can't make it in Hong Kong, so you come to the mainland to make money, do you really think you're so valuable?"

He's almost forty years old, but his heart is as small as a pinhole!

What are you doing, being sarcastic and sarcastic with me?!

Let me tell you, I'm not going to put up with you anymore!

"Let's break up."

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.

After that, I blocked his phone number and WeChat account.

Sun Ting, standing beside her, didn't dare to breathe.

Seeing that Yang Mi's face wasn't so red after her actions, he asked in a low voice, "Sister Mi, are you really going to break up with Brother Kaiwei?"

"Now that I've said it this way, how can I take it back?"

Yang Mi retorted irritably, "When I started dating him, most of my family members disagreed, but I still chose him on my own."

Breaking up now is simply a way to cut losses in time.

If this drags on for too long, who knows how much more serious the losses might be later!

"Actually...actually, Brother Kaiwei was also angry."

Sun Ting said cautiously, "Actually, he can't live without you."

"I know."

Yang Mi nodded with a clear conscience, "That guy is long past his prime in Hong Kong. These past two years in the mainland, he's been relying on my resources!"

He's the one who lost more when we broke up.

However, Tingting, I'm really tired, and I don't have the energy to play house with a giant baby.

As she spoke, she rarely showed a hint of fatigue, "I chose him because he was mature and steady, and his surname was Liu, which means he's a full twelve years older than me."

Looking at it now, he's not as good as Xiao Le. Xiao Le can even help me find good scripts!

And that guy, all he does is try to control me emotionally and give me garbage scripts!

As she spoke, Yang Mi showed a look of disgust on her face.

People are afraid of comparisons.

If it were the original timeline, because he was affected by several different circles, he could only join the Hong Kong entertainment circle, where he met Liu Kaiwei, a handsome older man with a gentle and refined appearance.

Especially after being deeply hurt in mainland China, when her heart was full of wounds, she met a man who matched her ideal type, and Yang Mi's heart was naturally captured.

She and Hawick Lau have collaborated on many films and television dramas, and the two are inseparable.

In this timeline, although they fell in love after working together on "Ruyi," Liu Kaiwei's shortcomings were quickly exposed due to the presence of his younger brother, Liu Taile, as a comparison.

In addition, there was no continuous collaboration, with a TV series called "Under the Zhengyang Gate" inserted in between.

In that drama, the relationship between the male lead Han Chunming and the female lead Su Meng dragged on for nearly thirty years, breaking up and getting back together many times. It really explained the ins and outs of relationships very thoroughly.

This made Yang Mi, who had always longed for love, suddenly realize her true colors and objectively discover Liu Kaiwei's "true colors".

As a result, their feelings naturally faded.

These days, breaking up is practically inevitable.

Just then, Yang Mi's phone rang again. She looked closely and saw that it was Zeng Jia calling.

After the call was answered, Zeng Jia's very tired voice came from the other end, "Sister, what kind of crazy thing are you doing now?"

Why did you just break up with me like that?

"It's not exactly sudden."

Yang Mi replied slowly, "I was just about to tell you. This time I'm serious. I really don't want to have anything to do with that Hong Kong scoundrel anymore."

"No, just because of a few words said in the heat of the moment?"

Zeng Jia felt her head suddenly spin several sizes. "Honey, we're adults now, can you stop being so childish?"

"Sister Jia, only what you say when you're angry is the truth."

Yang Mi continued, "I think that guy has harbored resentment towards me for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have such great hostility towards Xiao Le."

"Mimi, as an outsider, let me say something fair."

Zeng Jia still wanted to help Yang Mi salvage the relationship. "No man can stand his girlfriend having feelings for another man, especially one who isn't even a relative. That would definitely create hostility. Plus..."

Zeng Jia paused for a moment, then continued, "You've been dragging your feet. It's been almost a year since we officially became a couple, and you still won't give it to him. It's just a nominal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Anyone would have questions about that."

"Tch~~"

Yang Mi was amused by her anger again. "If something is too easy to get, it won't be cherished, so what's wrong with me ignoring it?"

See, the fact that he has this grudge in his heart just shows that there is something wrong with him!

"You're not looking for me because of who I am, but because you're like other men, only thinking about dirty things!"

"What about Liu Taile?"

Zeng Jia retorted, "If he says he fell in love with you at first sight, doesn't that mean he has ulterior motives?"

"Xiao Le is different; he has always kept his feelings for me within the bounds of propriety."

Yang Mi argued confidently, "So, I've always felt that the White Dragon King of Siam miscalculated for me. Although my future partner does indeed have the surname Wenwu, he's not older than me."

Oh, that was in 2010, after Yang Mi left Rong Xinda and before joining Mei Ya, she made a special trip to Siam to see the White Dragon King, who was said to be very accurate in fortune telling.

That person is incredibly accurate. Many Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities have consulted him for fortune telling, and his predictions are always spot on. It's an amazing skill!

Yang Mi's family has always been Buddhists, so she has great respect for such people.

I was thinking of leaving my original company and went to a fortune teller to predict my future.

Oh, and there's also the matter of marriage. After all, you're already 25 years old (by Chinese reckoning), it's time to consider marriage.

As fate would have it, the White Dragon King received her and told her fortune.

As for her future, the other party didn't give a definite answer, only saying that she should follow her own heart and she would be able to turn bad luck into good.

As for marriage, I said a few more words about it—

"The patriarch said: You will marry a man with a surname that is both literary and martial in a few years. He will be older than you and will give you a sense of security like a father. But this sense of security will not last long and will disappear as he gets older. You will have a daughter, but you will not be able to stay by her side for long."

Oh, the White Dragon King doesn't speak Chinese; the attendant next to him translated for him.

Then Yang Mi and Zeng Jia, who went with her, did a lot of analysis:

First, the first point is the surnames Wen and Wu.

With both literary and martial skills, that must be Liu!

Wen Dao Liu, huh!

The two can be considered to represent the arts and the martial arts, respectively.

Secondly, he must be older than her and give her the same sense of security as a father.

That person definitely wouldn't be just a few years older than her; they would have to be at least ten years older or more, otherwise it would be impossible to feel the same sense of security as a father.

Finally, those concluding remarks imply that her marriage is likely to end badly, possibly resulting in divorce.

The couple will have a lovely daughter, but due to the nature of their work, he won't be able to be by her side all the time.

Sigh, it seems like my life is a bit tough!

Since the surname is Liu, Yang Mi's first thought was Liu Taile.

But Liu Taile is younger than her!

The two are within four years apart in age, so although they get along very well, Liu Taile does not provide Yang Mi with the same sense of security as a father.

So even though Yang Mi was extremely conflicted, she still passed on Liu Taile.

Later, he met Liu Kaiwei through filming, and Liu Kaiwei was able to match all the prophecies given by the White Dragon King!

Yang Mi accepted his advances because he seemed like a good match at the time.

But now it seems that Yang Mi doesn't want to abide by the prophecy given by the White Dragon King.

"That master might be like what my dad used to tell me, a truly skilled charlatan."

Yang Mi continued, "However, in order to avoid the five deficiencies and three lacks, the comments given to people are usually a mixture of truth and falsehood. Whether one can pick out the truth and avoid the falsehood depends on one's own understanding."

"Now I'm convinced that only the first part of the master's prediction was true. After all, Liu Kaiwei isn't the only person in the world with the surname Liu!"

Hearing her say that, Zeng Jia's mind went blank.
