The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 84: Do you like the role I play?

Tang Shu paused her eating, looked up, and met three pairs of surprised eyes around her.

Her expression unchanged, she replied politely, "Oh, does Miss Xu like the character I played?"

"...Not bad."

Xu Qianyu felt a moment of embarrassment. She hadn’t actually watched the idol drama and didn’t even know what it was about; she had only browsed a few news articles on Medical University’s forum.

But one thing she was clear about was that Tang Shu’s character seemed... not very likable?

Tang Shu’s expression tightened slightly, and she understood, "Thank you."

The character of Lin Yiyi, surely no sane person would like it.

"What idol drama, Shushu?"

Lin Yunlan, who had no idea about it, asked, and the other two family members also looked at her with curiosity, even Aunt Zhang, standing to the side, pricked up her ears.

Tang Shu put down her chopsticks and explained, "When I came to the capital in June, I happened to encounter a production team recruiting actors, and I was interested, so I joined in."

"I see, acting must take up a lot of time. Can you keep up with your courses?"

"No problem, I’m only working on one play right now, and it only takes up my weekends."

Lin Yunlan instantly remembered the place where they had bumped into each other; it seemed to be near a film and television base.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengfeng first wrinkled his brow as if he had some aversion to the profession of acting, but then his forehead relaxed.

"At your age, you should still prioritize schooling. If you like acting, you can do it in your spare time. If someone gives you trouble, don’t bear it alone; come back and tell your mother."

This was still a child, three years older than Qianyun, but looking very young.

Xu Chengfeng immediately categorized Tang Shu as one of those "kids who find everything new and exciting about becoming famous." Perhaps because Tang Shu bore a resemblance to his wife, the head of the family had a rather good impression of her.

Tang Shu didn’t expect to hear such a response and her eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but she quickly accepted this kindness.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu. I understand," she said.

Xu Qianyu stared at her thoughtfully for a moment, then withdrew her evaluative gaze and fell silent.

After dinner, Tang Shu used the excuse of having to go to the production team the next day and declined Lin Yunlan’s kind offer of letting her stay over for the night, opting to be driven back to East Lake Community by a driver.

Downstairs, Lin Yunlan, who had followed, held on to Tang Shu and wouldn’t let go, her beautiful eyes turning into a reluctant expression, as if tears would fall at any moment.

Tang Shu twitched the corners of her mouth and could only promise, "Mom, I will come to see you."

"Really? When!"

"...Next weekend?"

"Then I’ll wait for you. It’s so late; you should go inside and rest!"

Lin Yunlan immediately perked up, her tears vanishing in an instant, almost pushing her into the community’s gate.

Tang Shu was once again speechless at her mother’s quick change of face.

You didn’t seem to realize it was late just a moment ago.

Furthermore, they were released one by one, creating quite the buzz.
