Chapter 496 reveals that the extra is the boss's brother.
"Lin Ping."
Lin Ping hurriedly put the money away and limped over to her, saying, "Sister, you're here."
"Um, what happened to you? Did you get into a fight?"
"How could that be? I got into a fight, how could I be injured like this? I was the one who got hit."
Lin Yuyao: "What exactly happened? Stop being so cheeky and tell me properly."
"It's nothing. You told me to listen to the director, right? He occasionally lets me do cameo roles, like being a stunt double for the male lead. This injury is from when I was a stunt double for the male lead. But the pay is pretty good. Look, I've earned over a hundred yuan in just half a month."
Lin Yuyao: "..." Seeing his smug look, she didn't know what to say to him for a moment.
Just then, the director shouted from the front, "Lin Ping, are you rested enough? If you are, you're on stage for the next circus scene."
"Hey, hey, I'm here."
Lin Yuyao was speechless. She had originally asked Lin Ping to come and do nothing, but he ended up acting instead.
He played many minor roles where his face was barely visible, and even acted as a stunt double, taking beatings for others.
Lin Yuyao watched him skillfully mount the horse and almost didn't recognize him.
"That mounting move was awesome. No wonder he came from a military academy, he's just different," the director praised.
Lin Yuyao said, "Don't arrange for him to film any more scenes where he gets beaten up. He has about ten days left before school starts. If he goes back with all these injuries, I won't be able to explain it to the school."
The director looked horrified. "President Lin, who is he...?"
“He’s my brother. He came here to work during the summer vacation because he had nothing else to do.”
What?
Is that kid the boss's brother?
The director broke out in a cold sweat.
“You mean… he didn’t say that either. If I had known he was your brother, I wouldn’t have arranged so many dangerous scenes for him.”
"It's okay, it's okay, he can take a beating. I just feel that it's not good for him to go to school with an injury since school is starting soon."
"Understand, understand."
The director didn't expect that one of the extras who came to do odd jobs was someone with connections.
Fortunately, he arranged for Lin Ping to film many dangerous stunt double scenes, including playing a dead person.
Fortunately, the boss didn't say anything.
Later, the director arranged for Lin Ping to play a relaxed background extra, but the pay was low, so he was unhappy.
The saying goes that you reap what you sow; how can someone who's just there to stand in the background get beaten up and paid more?
He even went to argue with the director.
The director simply said, "Take good care of your injury and try to recover before the start of the new semester."
……
After having an abortion, Fang Qing took leave from work and stayed home to recuperate.
Sister Zhao went to see her again and sighed, realizing how difficult it was to be a woman.
"Sigh! After being hit again and again, how can my body take it? Honestly, what era are we living in? They still have this old-fashioned preference for sons over daughters..."
"Shh." Fang Qing quickly stopped her, "Sister Zhao, keep your voice down, don't let my in-laws hear."
Sister Zhao gritted her teeth, glanced outside, and whispered, "I had no idea you were living this kind of life. You're afraid they'll hear you if you say anything. How are you supposed to live like this?"
"do not talk."
"Oh dear, everyone says you should reconcile rather than separate, but seeing you like this, I'm tempted to advise you to get a divorce. Lu Jiangting is young, successful, and earns a lot of money, but what good is that? He doesn't spend a single penny of his earnings on you, he's young and successful but doesn't care about you, he's not even worth having as a decoration at home."
Fang Qing was so annoyed that she could only sigh and say, "I don't want to talk about these things right now. I just want to get better as soon as possible."
"Yeah, never mind, I'll just take good care of myself and head back now."
"Ah."
No sooner had Sister Zhao left than Yang Guangzong arrived.
He was out of money, and Fang Qing was in confinement after giving birth and wouldn't go out, so he had no choice but to come to her home.
Lu Cong's face darkened as soon as he saw him.
"What are you here for?"
Yang Guangzong rubbed his hands together, looking like a rogue, and said, "I'll borrow some money from my parents."
"Pah! How dare you ask us for money? If you don't have any, get out!"
"Fine, you won't lend me the money, huh? Then I'll borrow it from your son."
"Ha, go find it if you dare."
Lu Jiangting hasn't been home for several days, and they can't find him at all, so they're not afraid.
Of course, Yang Guangzong also knew that Lu Jiangting would not return, and he would never be able to see Lu Jiangting.
So he said to the two elders, "Give him a call and tell him to come see me tonight. If he doesn't come, I'll tell everyone his secret tomorrow."
"Hey, you bastard, you're threatening me now. Get him out of here, old woman, grab a broom and throw him out."
Wang Cuilan listened to the old man and immediately picked up a broom and started hitting Yang Guangzong.
Yang Guangzong didn't care, since he had already delivered the message.
He said this to the elderly couple, and also to Fang Qing.
He knew Fang Qing must have heard him, and that was enough.
After Yang Guangzong left, the old couple continued to curse and grumble for a long time. After cursing Yang Guangzong for being shameless, they turned to the inner room and cursed Fang Qing.
"It's all your fault. You've brought this mess on me, and now you want to bring it on my son too? Humph, let me tell you, no way."
"Old woman, let's not call Jiang Ting or ask him to come back. Let's see how many more days that bastard Yang Guangzong can go hungry."
The two elders decided to stay out of it.
But Fang Qing couldn't just ignore it.
If Yang Guangzong were to reveal that she was pregnant with someone else's child and that Lu Jiangting had forced her to have an abortion, she wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.
Fang Qing grabbed a coat and wrapped herself up tightly before going outside to call Lu Jiangting.
Lu Jiangting initially thought it was his parents calling, but upon hearing it was Fang Qing, he became very unhappy. "Why are you calling me?"
"Yang Guangzong is here again asking for money."
Lu Jiangting sneered, "What does this have to do with me?"
"He went to his parents to ask for money, saying that if they didn't give it to him, he would expose the secret."
The secret, of course, was that Fang Qing was pregnant with an illegitimate child.
Lu Jiangting's face stiffened, and he was so angry that he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.
"Jiang Ting, if this gets out, I'll be too ashamed to live."
"Then go die." Lu Jiangting gritted his teeth and said angrily into the microphone.
Fang Qing's heart skipped a beat. She didn't think much of it, figuring he was still angry and it was understandable that he said a few hurtful things.
Fang Qing sobbed, "It doesn't matter if I die, I can just go find Jianjun. But what about Chenchen? He's so young and already without parents, what will people say about him? If I die, Chenchen won't be able to live either."
Even if I have to live on, I have to live until he comes of age. Jiang Ting, when Chenchen comes of age, you don't need to tell me, I'll go and kill myself, I'll go find Jianjun. But I can't die now, I can't bear to leave him."
She was very good at exploiting Lu Jiangting's weaknesses. If it weren't for Chenchen's sake, he would have really wanted to strangle Fang Qing.
"What do you want?"
"Yang Guangzong said he wants to see you and wants you to go to him after get off work tonight. If you don't see him, he'll expose that matter. Jiang Ting, it's not a big deal that I'm ashamed, but the key is that my parents can't take the shock. If Dad finds out, he'll probably be so angry he won't be able to breathe, and Chenchen will be ridiculed at school."
