The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1767 - 1757: Hollywood (Part 2)

Xia Siyu was all smiles as she replied, "Thank you. Oh, by the way, you said your company is also planning to make a movie, right? It’s best to let me know in advance. I might not be free."

After hanging up the phone, everyone in the room was looking at her. Xia Siyu was very pleased, "What’s up? Why is everyone staring at me?"

She even pretended to be modest and said to Xia Sicai, "You’re right, I’m not a hundred percent sure I’ll get the role. But, they got wind of my name, and they’re trying everything to meet me before the audition. It’s just acting in a movie, nothing special. At most, I’ll be acting alongside the hotshot John Scott. I’m playing his girlfriend. But you know, it’s John Scott..."

A top-notch hunk, towering at 1.9 meters, he was once an official player on an American pro football team before switching to acting post-retirement. Handsome face, perfect build, and muscles to die for.

As for his acting, it’s not phenomenal, but his looks and muscles alone justify the ticket price. Besides, he doesn’t perform badly.

Xia Siyu is also a sucker for looks, or she wouldn’t have gone after Bo Yan initially. But now Bo Yan’s all high and mighty, which is fine, he might have no rivals in China, but worldwide? Surely there are some.

Not to mention playing his girlfriend, she’d even be happy to play his wife. A fiery female spy, she’s read the original work, full of cheeky banter, flirty yet elusive with the male lead, aside from bold dressing, she’s actually quite aloof with others. A very popular character in the original work. Isn’t that what modern people love? All sizzling and intense with the husband, icy to outsiders, though mission always comes first, she’ll definitely help the protagonist out of trouble.

As long as she sticks to the original plot and performs decently, the role will definitely boost her fame globally. It’s no wonder even Shang Feifei, who was never interested in Hollywood, is eyeing the audition. Indeed, it’s a great character design.

She’s not sure if her boasting got to Bo Yan, but Xia Sicai and Mrs. Tong were visibly uncomfortable. Mrs. Tong kept her head down and didn’t say a word, while Xia Sicai scoffed, "Talk to me when you actually get the part."

Xia Siyu wasn’t the least bit upset. Success or not, right now she’s confident enough to face these two. If there’s ever a marriage crisis, she wouldn’t go home crying to her parents; she’d solve it herself. If Bo Yan dared to mess with her, she’d fight back on the spot!

"Thanks for your kind words." Ah, how to put it, seeing others unhappy just made her day. They all kept things under wraps, but Xia Siyu wasn’t like that. She continued, "Dad, I’m leaving now. If I get the audition, you’ll be the first to know. Don’t worry about the money, you keep it."

As she turned to leave, she paused, "Oh, by the way."

She knew Xia Sicai cherished face and was quite calculating. Back then, she ditched Bo Yan for Bo Yi, helping him to deal with Bo Yan and herself, relishing in her glory for years. Who could’ve thought she’d end up like this?

To deal with such people, you must ruthlessly rip apart their carefully concealed facade right in front of them. So she feigned concern, "I just attended the Gold Oscar awards, and though it’s just a film industry thing, still, there’s no wall that doesn’t leak air. People know you’re my sister married to Bo Yan’s cousin, and some have said unsavory things in private. Though it’s common in the circle for the wealthy to maintain a few, Cousin has made such a spectacle even I heard, and it’s likely spread throughout the circle, right? The real trouble is not just a fling, but what if there’s an illegitimate child fighting for inheritance? Cousin must be aware but maybe a bit too indulgent lately. But I’m sure you’ve got it under control, Sister, right?"

She couldn’t hide the smile spreading across her face, "Alright then, it’s getting late, I’ll head home. Goodnight."

Xia Siyu stepped out, and after walking a few meters, she heard a crisp sound from the hospital room behind her, like something made of glass had been shattered on the floor.

She did it on purpose. She’s in the entertainment industry, and if word traveled through it, it wouldn’t be long before it reached the whole nation. Didn’t Xia Sicai care about face? Before, when Bo Yi cheated on her, she refrained from complaining because of the marriage alliance. In such matters, the tangible disgust is one thing, but ripping that cover off makes it all the more humiliating.

Besides, she wasn’t entirely out of line warning her, wasn’t Bo Qiliu’s illegitimate child also entitled to inherit from Bo Yi?

She was just doing Xia Sicai a favor, suggesting she keep an eye out. However, what happened when she got home to settle accounts with Bo Yi had nothing to do with her.

Xia Siyu was indeed in a good mood today, though she didn’t win an award—totally expected, but she got news of a Hollywood partnership and took a jab at Xia Sicai, which made her day. When stepping out, she noticed Bo Yan, and instinctively asked, "What do you think of this superhero gig, honestly?"

Bo Yan gave it a thought, then offered his opinion, "If they really stick to the original adaptation, I think it’s great."

In the book, this Asian character is mysterious and dangerous, passionate yet devoted, good and evil both. Even though their allegiance is opposed to the main team, they often help the protagonist. Cool and detached yet warm and loyal. As long as the character isn’t too diluted, and is well-acted, it’s bound to make waves.

Since they reached out to Xia Siyu through connections, it showed they were genuinely interested in her. If interested, she should have an edge in the audition; and if Xia Siyu performs well, she should have a good shot.

Xia Siyu replied, "Exactly, plus, I’m pairing with John Scott as his girlfriend."

Bo Yan commented, "In superhero movies, although sometimes they make the heroine dress a bit skimpily for audience pleasure, it’s usually not too over-the-top. If you’re worried I’d object to you playing the role for that reason, you needn’t be. I’d only be happy for such an opportunity, never holding you back."

Damn it, even though his words were "that of understanding," Xia Siyu couldn’t help but feel utterly uncomfortable hearing them.

Just at that moment, Wei Jingjing came over to pick her up, and her face instantly turned icy. Damn it, even though his words were "that of understanding," Xia Siyu couldn’t help but feel utterly uncomfortable hearing them.
