Master Zhan, your daughter has gone out to catch ghosts again.

Chapter 262 Nephew Baonan

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle..."

Suddenly, Yoyo and the triplets ran into the dressing room, pulling Zhan Juzhou back to reality.

The triplets ran over and sat on the sofa.

Yoyo climbed into Zhan Juzhou's arms, sat on his lap, and looked at Zhan Juzhou in the mirror. "Third Uncle, your makeup is so heavy."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Juzhou panicked and hurriedly told the makeup artist, "Quickly, quickly, help me lighten this makeup."

“But Teacher Zhan, this is what the role requires.”

“I told you to draw it lighter, so draw it lighter. Stop talking nonsense. You can’t go wrong by listening to my little niece.”

The makeup artist curled her lip, thinking, "What a spoiled brat."

There's no way around it; her status is undeniable, and the makeup artist can't disobey her.

Does this look good?

After making the changes, Zhan Juzhou asked YoYo for her opinion.

"He looks good, but I think Uncle San looks even better without makeup."

The little guy was lying on the dressing table, looking down and doing something. When he heard Zhan Juzhou's question, he looked up and answered sincerely.

This answer made Zhan Juzhou's lips curl into a smile; he absolutely loved hearing that answer.

The makeup artist standing to the side couldn't refute it. Zhan Juzhou did indeed have a good foundation. Even without applying a single trace of makeup, he had his own filter. Whether it was his magnificent face, his tall stature, or his arrogant temperament, he looked like he had stepped out of a painting.

"Teacher Zhan, may I come in?"

Suddenly, a sweet voice rang out from outside the door.

Zhan Juzhou recognized Hua Qiaonan by her voice; she is the leader of the globally popular girl group White Black.

Since we started filming together in the same drama, I've basically been coming to see him every day during the time he's putting on and taking off his makeup.

He didn't know how she knew his schedule so well, but when he remembered that her cousin was the boss of her agency, he understood everything.

"No," Yoyo answered for Zhan Juzhou.

Zhan Juzhou was secretly pleased.

It's so good to have a mouth to take your place.

Even if rejected, Hua Qiaonan could pretend not to hear and still push the door open and enter.

Seeing four children inexplicably appear in the dressing room, I was momentarily stunned.

But they quickly realized that these children must be Zhan Juzhou's nephews and nieces.

Zhan Juzhou is constantly showing off his little niece on set; he's practically praising her to the point of deification.

"Teacher Zhan, are these your little nephew and niece? They're so cute!"

No one paid any attention to her.

The atmosphere froze, awkward.

"Hello, my darlings, my name is Hua Qiaonan, you can call me Sister Qiao, I'm your uncle's colleague."

Hua Qiaonan bent down, rested her hands on her knees, and greeted the four little ones with a sweet smile.

Zhan Jingyang looked at Hua Qiaonan and, for some reason, felt a bit disgusted, especially by her high-pitched, childlike manner of speaking, which felt very incongruous.

"Auntie, your voice is so unique, it sounds like you've got a whistle stuck in it," Zhan Jingyang couldn't help but complain.

"Forehead……"

Hua Qiaonan's face turned pale, her blush couldn't hide it, and her eyes unconsciously turned to Zhan Juzhou.

He was talking to the little one while holding cosmetics, not paying any attention to her at all.

Hua Qiaonan smiled bitterly. No matter how unique she tried to be, she could completely ignore him, even if she tried to attract his attention.

Sometimes she wondered if all she had done was meaningful, and if it could really make Zhan Juzhou fall for her.

The answer is no.

But she was unwilling to accept it. She was so outstanding, from a family of actors, why didn't Zhan Juzhou like her?

My cousin once told her that if you want something, you should fight for it with all your might, even if you get hurt. It's better than watching what you want slip through your fingers.

At least, I tried, didn't I?

Thinking of this, Hua Qiaonan regained her confidence and sat down in the chair next to Zhan Juzhou. "Teacher Zhan, there's a scene in this script that I don't quite understand. Could you help me take a look?"

“Teacher Hua, the screenwriter will be coming today. Perhaps you can ask her. After all, she wrote the script and understands it better than I do. If I interpret it wrong for you, I will be lowering the efficiency of the entire crew,” Zhan Juzhou said with a serious smile.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen Uncle Three so serious," Zhan Jingyang said.

“Yeah, don’t let Uncle San’s usual joking around fool you, he can be quite intimidating when he gets serious,” Zhan Jingxi said.

"Anyone would get impatient with being pestered," Zhan Jingwen said.

Zhan Jingyang and Zhan Jingxi nodded in agreement.

When Hua Qiaonan was rejected, her mind went blank, and she panicked, appearing helpless and hurt.

"Teacher Zhan, you can start filming now," a staff member called out as they came in.

"They're here." Zhan Juzhou picked up Youyou, called to the triplets, and strode out of the dressing room.

After catching her breath, Hua Qiaonan followed the others out of the dressing room and onto the filming set.

"Qiaoqiao, where did you go?"

Suddenly, four girls ran towards the distance.

"Where's Xiao Fanghao?" Hua Qiaonan asked, noticing that Xiao Fanghao was missing from the group of seven.

"Who knows where she goes? She always disappears without a trace, making us wait for her every time," Lu Nianyao said.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since this morning."

"Could it be that he took leave?" Jiang Hehe said.

"I haven't heard of it."

“She didn’t ask for leave, she went back to her hometown. Last night she asked Sister Ran to terminate her contract, and now there are only five of us left in the team,” Chang Wanqing said.

"What? We didn't know anything about something this big?"

"We all know Xiao Fanghao. She's always late and leaves early. She's not united with us at all. If it weren't for the fact that her popularity is second only to our captain, Sister Ran would have fired her long ago. What's the point of keeping her around? She's just dragging the team down."

Hua Qiaonan took her phone and went to the side to make a call.

"Hey, cousin, I heard Xiao Fanghao terminated his contract and went back to his hometown?"

She didn't believe it. How could it be possible? To achieve such success and then just give it up? Could she really do that? Would she willingly give up her first chance to step onto the central stage?

"Yes, that's right. She contacted me early yesterday morning, and I agreed."

"What's the reason?"

She said someone on the team was bullying her.

"What, bullying? Who is it?"

"I don't know. She won't say. Alright, this matter is over. Now the team consists of the five of you. I've already made an official announcement, but it didn't cause much of a stir. This shows that Xiao Fanghao is dispensable."

"It shouldn't be her who backs out, but the person who bullied her."

"Qiao Qiao and Xiao Fanghao come from ordinary families and have ordinary backgrounds. The entertainment industry is not a suitable place for them. She has entered a territory that does not belong to her, so it is normal for her to be slaughtered."

"But……"

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Let's not mention it again."

After Hua Qinran finished speaking, she slammed the phone down.

They grew up together, so why does she always side with an outsider?
