Rebirth Must Be Happy

"can!"

"cannot!"

"can!"

The three quickly responded, but only Chen Xingruo confidently said "no," while Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu answered "yes" without hesitation.

How could he possibly recognize him?

Chen Xingruo pouted and said, "It's not like I haven't pretended before, so he wouldn't recognize me."

Xie Wanqing looked at her with a mixture of reproach and amusement, and said, "Times have changed, don't you understand?"

Song Zhiyu, seemingly lost in thought, chuckled beside him. Despite being a pure, sweet, and stunningly beautiful girl, she somehow gave off a slightly lewd vibe. "I think by the time she realizes something's wrong, it'll be too late..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."

Xie Wanqing sensed something was amiss. Normally, Chen Xingzhu would stop people from saying such things beforehand, but today Chen Xingzhu didn't seem to have that intention. Not only did she not stop them beforehand, but she also didn't stop them after Song Zhiyu said it, so she had to dissuade her herself.

"It's only a matter of time..."

Song Zhiyu pouted, completely unaware that her words had two possible interpretations: Did "sooner or later" mean that Chen Xingruo would have to experience it sooner or later, or that she would have to experience it with a specific person sooner or later?
Xie Wanqing had thought of it, but naturally she couldn't say it aloud, so she changed the subject, saying, "Shouldn't Xu Jinhuan be back by now?"

Before she could finish speaking, they heard a noise outside. Little Huang jumped up and ran straight to the door. Halfway there, he realized that his mothers hadn't moved, so he stopped and looked back at Song Zhiyu, Xie Wanqing, and Chen Xingzhu.

Seeing that none of the three people reacted and that the door was already open, Xiao Huang no longer hesitated and wagged its tail to greet them.

"Ok?"

Xu Jinhuan was taken aback when she pushed open the door. She saw the four of them sitting and lying on the sofa in a haphazard manner. While she found it pleasing to the eye, she was also a little puzzled: "What are you all doing? Why didn't you reply to my messages?"

"We're drinking!"

Song Zhiyu proudly bent down, picked up an empty can, and held it up to Xu Jinhuan to show off, "Look, I've finished it all."

"I knew no one was replying to my messages."

Xu Jinhuan walked in and glanced at the two Chen Xingzhus sitting on a sofa. She was momentarily stunned, but quickly judged their identities based on their different reactions. She exchanged a glance with Chen Xingzhu, who gave off a somewhat melancholy feeling for some reason, and said, "Aren't you looking at your phones?"

"No, we're just chatting."

Song Zhiyu still spoke with pride, while Chen Xingzhu smiled faintly and said, "I saw it, but I didn't reply."

Before anyone else could speak, she kicked her sister away and said, "Let's go, you give us a ride, we won't call a driver."

Song Zhiyu said, "Or you can sleep here, there are plenty of beds anyway."

For some reason, Xie Wanqing felt that Song Zhiyu's words were strange. Although the sentence itself was normal, the phrase "many beds" combined with the previous conversation made her unable to help but make some connections.

"No way, I want to go home and sleep."

Chen Xingruo stood up and glanced at Xu Jinhuan, "I'm not sleeping here."

"I didn't say you could sleep here."

Xu Jinhuan found her strange, but she was used to it. "Let's go. We haven't even taken out the car keys yet. This will save us trouble."

"Let's go."

Chen Xingruo greeted Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu, but only glanced at Song Zhiyu to show that she had done her duty. Then she squatted down to say goodbye to Xiao Huang.

Chen Xingzhu turned her head to look, but didn't see Xiao Guai. She didn't call out to it, and said to Xie Wanqing, "Go to sleep early."

Xie Wanqing nodded, and Chen Xingruo came over and took her sister's arm, and they went out together. "Are you really drunk?"

Xu Jinhuan found it a bit outrageous. Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing were one thing, but Chen Xingruo and Song Zhiyu were clearly not right, especially Chen Xingruo. Xu Jinhuan didn't believe that she hadn't drunk alcohol before.

"It's alright, I'm not too drunk."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and turned to ask Chen Xingruo, "What about you?"

"I'm fine too."

Chen Xingruo let go of her sister's hand, seemingly indicating that she could walk independently. Her clear and beautiful eyes looked lucid as she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I won't go on a drunken rampage."

Xu Jinhuan didn't notice any difference between the two sisters. After the elevator arrived and she got in, she briefly told Chen Xingzhu what had happened that night. Chen Xingzhu nodded and said, "With such good reviews for this movie, as long as the quality of the second movie is consistent, the box office will definitely be even higher."

Although she said it would be higher, it would only be in the billion-dollar range, because that's already the ceiling. Before "Ne Zha," no one ever imagined that an animated film would have such a terrifying box office.

Of course, when "Ne Zha" came out, it was another subversion and a slap in the face. The general public proved with their actions and wallets that at least the overall environment of the domestic film industry was not a problem. They just didn't want to be fed shit.

Xu Jinhuan didn't have such grand ambitions, and his stage wasn't in this industry, but he wouldn't mind stirring things up a bit, especially since he still had his sister-in-law's career line to rely on.

"Xu Jinhuan,"

Upon arriving at the garage, Chen Xingruo opened the back door, but Chen Xingzhu, instead of sitting in the back with her sister as usual, opened the passenger door and got in, naturally fastening her seatbelt. Then, Chen Xingruo called out from behind, "My sister just asked if you could recognize me if I were to impersonate her."

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her and warned, "Don't cause trouble again!"

"I won't."

Chen Xingruo snorted, "I don't want to pretend to be my sister. I am Chen Xingruo, just as beautiful and cute as my sister. I will not become some strange substitute."

"Are you drunk?"

Xu Jinhuan turned to look at Chen Xingzhu, "What's wrong with her?"

Chen Xingzhu smiled and shook her head. For some reason, in the dim light inside the car in the parking lot, her smile gave people a bright and cheerful feeling, and she looked very happy.

After shaking his head, he turned back to Chen Xingruo and smiled, "I didn't ask you to be a substitute."

"whispering sound!"

Chen Xingruo rolled her eyes at her sister, then took out her phone. "I'm going to post a Weibo. So many fans are waiting for me to post photos... I've gained another 1 fans! Maybe next time I should just do voice acting; I feel like I'd gain even more."

"You might get even more people criticizing you."

Xu Jinhuan curled her lips, "There's a skill to riding the wave of popularity. If you do it well, you'll become popular; if you don't, you'll lose it."

Chen Xingzhu glanced at him sideways and said with a slight reproach, "Just drive carefully."

"I wasn't driving improperly to begin with."

Xu Jinhuan drove out of the community and headed towards the Honolulu villa, still worrying about Chen Xingruo. "But if you really have this idea, I can arrange a movie for you in the future. It's the kind of role with few scenes, low acting requirements, and a lot of fan appeal. As long as you're good-looking, that's fine. You're good at that."

"I don't want to be just a pretty face."

Chen Xingruo seemed a bit oblivious to her own limitations tonight, saying, "It's pointless for a vase to be used as a prop."

Xu Jinhuan almost slipped off the steering wheel, unsure of what to say.

Whether she meant it or not, what she said sounded very strange, especially in front of Chen Xingzhu… Well, it's fortunate it was in front of Chen Xingzhu, otherwise it would have been even worse. (End of Chapter)
