Ruan Yiqian couldn't be bothered with so much fuss and said directly: "If you want to cry, go back to your place and cry. Mianmian is getting married tomorrow, don't cry here, it's bad luck."
Mother Cheng abruptly stopped crying, "Then help Xining out, even if she doesn't star in Director Lu's movie, starring in someone else's movie is fine too, but she has to be the lead. Our Xining has always been the lead, she's never been a supporting actor."
Even at this point, Mother Cheng didn't want Xining to endure any slight.
However, Xining knew that landing a leading role wasn't so easy. The main reason she had been able to play lead roles before was largely because her boyfriends were the investors of the movies, and she was brought into the cast with her resources. Ruan Yiqian was unlikely to spend that much money to let her be the lead.
So, Mother Cheng played the heavy, and she played the good cop.
