She definitely couldn’t bring a cat along when she was recording a program.

Song Qingyou could only temporarily hand Zhizhi over to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan carried the cat bag. “Quickly put it in.”

Song Qingyou poked the cat on the chair.

“Zhizhi might not be able to see me for a few days. Will he miss me?”

Chen Lan was speechless. “Don’t worry. Cats don’t have such thoughts. Do you think you’re raising a dog?”

“Zhizhi is different.” Song Qingyou snorted.

“Why? It has four legs and two eyes. Is it unique?”

Chen Lan pushed the cat carrier closer and urged, “Hurry up! Don’t waste time! Director Wei will rush you later.”

“Does Zhizhi not like to stay in the cat carrier?” Song Qingyou asked, stroking the cat’s ears.

“You’re thinking too much.” Chen Lan said, “You don’t usually hold it, but it’s fine in the cat bag.”

“Then he can’t bear to part with me. Look-”

Song Qingyou was halfway through her sentence when the warm and soft touch on her hand disappeared.

When she looked up again, her cat had already jumped into the cat bag of its own accord. It did not miss her at all.

At the same time, he gave her a condescending and cold look.

Song Qingyou was speechless.

“Heh.” Chen Lan sneered. “It seems like you’re too clingy with Zhizhi. It’s getting annoyed by you.”

“Can’t you just say that he’s obedient and sensible? He knows that he can’t interfere with my earning.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Whatever CEO Song says, it will be…”

Before Chen Lan could finish her sentence, an argument broke out not far away.

The two of them looked at each other.

Song Qingyou stood up. “1 think it’s Sister Yingnan. I’ll go take a look.”

Zhao Yingnan had just arrived at the filming location. She had probably encountered some trouble.

Two people and a cat approached quietly. The nanny van blocked their view and prevented them from being seen.

“Zhao Yingnan! What kind of attitude is this? You’re starting to put on airs in front of your mother now that you’re famous, aren’t you?”

A mean-looking middle-aged woman was pointing at Zhao Yingnan’s nose and shouting.

Zhao Yingnan took a step back. She was a little scared. “1 didn’t. Mom, lower your voice. Someone will hear you…”

“No? If not, why did you ask your assistant to chase me away just now? And keep my voice down? Are you disgusted that I’m embarrassing you as a mother?”

“Zhao Yingnan, I think you’ve grown wings!”

The woman cursed.

She even spoke in a dialect that they didn’t understand. Judging from her tone, it shouldn’t be anything good.

“It seems like it’s a family matter. It’s none of our business,” Chen Lan muttered softly.

Song Qingyou was about to say that she was right when she heard the woman shout, “Didn’t you film a movie recently? I don’t believe that you don’t have tens of millions in your pocket! Being a celebrity is so profitable, why are you so stingy?”

“We don’t want to take the money to eat and drink. We wanted to treat your brother!”

Zhao Yingnan whispered, “But I really don’t have that much money… Didn’t you ask me for money when I was filming the movie? I can’t just leave no money behind…”

Artistes usually needed money. Clothes, jewelry, makeup, and skincare all needed money.

The woman rolled her eyes and interrupted her.

“What’s there to keep? Look, aren’t you going to be on TV again? You must have money this time, right? Quickly transfer the money over, or 1 won’t leave!”

Zhao Yingnan bit her lip, looking like she was in a dilemma.

“How much did Director Wei pay her for her appearance?” Song Qingyou asked softly.

“Only 300,000.”

Usually, an artist who entered the top loo would have an appearance fee of at least a million.

“And she agreed?” Song Qingyou was surprised.

“I heard from Director Wei that Zhao Yingnan rejected the other jobs because of you.”

Chen Lan had a good impression of Zhao Yingnan.

At least the other party was someone who knew how to repay kindness.

Song Qingyou nodded and suddenly took two steps forward, appearing in the field of vision of Zhao Yingnan and the others.

“Sister Yingnan, the program is about to start recording.”

“The director said that if you don’t go over now, you don’t have to come anymore!”

Zhao Yingnan looked at her mother in front of her cautiously.

The latter glared at her angrily. “Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and go!

If you lose your job, you’ll be in trouble!”

“I’ll come and look for you after you finish filming the show!”

After the woman finished speaking, she snorted at Song Qingyou. Obviously, she was treating her as a staff member because of the “Sister Yingnan”!

Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes. When she looked up again, she smiled at Song Qingyou.

“Let’s go! Didn’t you say that you’re going to record a show?”

“It’s not even seven o’clock yet. There’s still half an hour.”

Zhao Yingnan was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, “You heard everything…”

Chen Lan took the cat bag and left early.

Zhao Yingnan’s assistant also followed.

Only the two of them were left there.

Song Qingyou pulled out a tissue from her pocket and handed it over.

Zhao Yingnan touched the corner of her eyes. “Thank you.”

“I became a celebrity because of my mother. My brother is sick and needs money…”

“You told me.” Song Qingyou still remembered their conversation on the island.

“She came to ask me for money just now.” Zhao Yingnan smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry. I made a fool out of myself.”

“You earned the money,” Song Qingyou shook her head. “You can choose to give it to her or not.”

“How can it be that simple? They are my family after all…”

Zhao Yingnan bit her lip. “You probably don’t know? Yingnan is ‘Ying Nan’, Ying as in Ying, and ‘Nan’ as in male.”

“Dad and Mom finally had my little brother, but in the end… Actually, I know that my parents are biased, but I can’t just leave them alone…”

Song Qingyou listened quietly and didn’t say anything.

Zhao Yingnan was willing to be imprisoned. Between their family, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. As an outsider, she really couldn’t say anything.

At this moment, Zhao Yingnan’s cell phone rang.

“Let me take this call first.”

Song Qingyou nodded.

Zhao Yingnan covered her phone and quickly walked away.

But Song Qingyou still heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

“Miss Zhao, when are you free this month? CEO Wu said that you’ve finished filming your movie and should come over to accompany him to a few cocktail parties. When the time comes, you must wear the set of clothes that CEO Wu bought for you last time.”

It sounded like CEO Wu’s assistant was contacting Zhao Yingnan.

Seeing the latter agree without hesitation, Song Qingyou had mixed feelings.

It was no wonder that Zhao Yingnan’s timid character could still rank among the A-list artistes this year…

Although she didn’t think that she would look down on her or forcefully dissuade her, she couldn’t just watch.

So when Zhao Yingnan came back, Song Qingyou said something else, “Once you fall into a quagmire, it will be difficult to get out again.”

Zhao Yingnan’s face turned pale. She clenched her fists nervously and then loosened them. “1 know.”

Song Qingyou didn’t look at her. “If you want to jump ship, you can come to my place.”

Job-hopping? Did she think that she was coerced by the company?

Zhao Yingnan looked at the person walking in front of her. The morning sun shone on the other person, as if she was shining.

She suddenly remembered that Song Qingyou was the same as her, entering the industry for the money to treat her family member’s illness.

They were the same, so Song Qingyou wouldn’t mind her.

“Thank you.” Zhao Yingnan’s clenched hand suddenly loosened.

Song Qingyou looked back at her and thought she had thought it through, so she smiled back..
