It was already evening when He Mengbing returned home.

Qin Xueli, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up to greet her, "Mom, you're back!"

"Ah."

He Mengbing sat down on the sofa tiredly and sighed softly.

Qin Xueli asked with concern: "Mom, are you very tired today?"

He Mengbing nodded. "Yeah, I stood for over half an hour for the announcement this afternoon. I was wearing eight or nine centimeters high heels, so my feet are a little sore."

"Then you take a rest first, I'll go get you a glass of water." Qin Xueli said as she turned around to pour water.

He Mengbing took the water cup and took a sip, "My daughter is so thoughtful."

Qin Xueli smiled and said, "Mom, you've worked hard. Are you hungry? Dad is in the study. If you're hungry, I'll go call him and we'll have dinner."

"I'm not hungry yet, wait a moment."

"Well, we'll just wait a moment then."

Just then, a middle-aged man walked down from the second floor. He was Qin Hui, Qin Xueli's father.

"Is my wife back?" Qin Hui walked closer and sat next to her.

Qin Xueli took two steps back, took out her cell phone and continued chatting with Ji Yulin.

He Mengbing looked at her husband. Even though he was already forty-five years old, he was still handsome.

"What are you doing in the study?" He Mengbing asked.

"Polish the script. The filming will start in two months. I read the script several times to see if there is anything unreasonable that I want to change." Qin Hui said while holding her hand.

He Mengbing said gently: "Don't tire yourself out. Work is important, and your health is important too."

Qin Hui smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing. But you, the announcements are so tiring. If you can't do it, then don't take so many."

At this time, Qin Xueli put down her phone, came over and said coquettishly: "Dad, Mom just said that she wore eight or nine centimeter high heels this afternoon and stood for half an hour. Her feet are very sore. Can you help her rub them?"

"Okay." Qin Hui lifted He Mengbing's feet, placed them on his legs, and gently rubbed her feet.

"What kind of notice makes you stand in high heels for so long? Don't go next time!" Qin Hui looked distressed.

He Mengbing smiled.

"Ah Hui, Director Zhang contacted me and said there's a TV show that wants me to play the heroine's mother. I was like, am I going to play the heroine's mother? Am I really that old?"

Qin Hui frowned. "My wife looks like she's only 27 or 28 years old. Director Zhang actually asked you to play the heroine's mother? Honey, don't go!"

Qin Xueli also agreed, "That's right, mom, you must not play the mother of the heroine. You are only... 40 years old this year, which is still very young. My mom doesn't look like she is 40 at all!"

He Mengbing thought for a moment and said, "Although it was a little hard for me to accept the news when I heard it, I am already 40 years old after all. I can try to play the mother of the heroine. People also need to accept themselves and the fact that they are getting older."

"Mom, you really don't look old at all." Qin Xueli took her arm.

"It's just that my wife is like a little girl."

He Mengbing looked at the two of them and smiled. "Thank you both for praising me so much, but after thinking about it, I decided to go for the role. It's just a guest appearance in three episodes, and I'll be the heroine's mother when she was a child."

Qin Hui thought for a moment and said, "Well, Director Zhang's films are all pretty good. So why don't you just act in three episodes? I support you."

"Well, I agreed to it. I'll sign the contract with him in two days. I'll join the crew in about a month. We can finish filming three episodes in a few days at the fastest. At the slowest, it'll take about twenty days."

"Okay, by the way, wife, who did you say you were going out to have lunch with at noon?" Qin Hui asked.

"Didn't I tell you? That girl's name is Li Yanyan, and she's the same age as our Shirley."

Qin Xueli immediately became alert, "Mom, did you go to eat with Li Yanyan at noon? Why?"

"I just felt a connection with her, a sense of familiarity with her. I liked that girl, so I wanted to have a meal and chat with her."

Qin Xueli's face changed. "But I don't like her, Mom. I won't let you have anything to do with her or eat with her in the future."

He Mengbing rubbed his head and asked, "Why are you so hostile to Yanyan?"

"I just don't like her!" Qin Xueli bit her lip.

Qin Hui: "Shirley, how could you hate someone for no reason?"

"Some people just don't like each other. I just don't like Li Yanyan. I don't want Mom to have dinner with her. Mom, please don't have anything to do with her in the future, okay?"

He Mengbing became serious. "Xueli, why do you hate Yanyan for no reason? She's beautiful, smart, and has such a good personality. What is it that you don't like about her? There must be a reason, right?"

"There's just no reason!" Qin Xueli turned her body to the side.

She actually noticed that Li Yanyan looked a bit like her mother, so she hated her.

She is her mother's daughter, not like her mother, but she is like her mother, so she doesn't like her!

"Don't be so petty. Talk to Mom. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"

Qin Xueli looked a little uneasy. After a pause, she slowly spoke, "There was indeed a slight misunderstanding. I can't remember the exact time, but it was probably around August or September last year. I ran into Li Yanyan and Jiang Qing at the shoe store. I had my eye on a pair of shoes, but in my haste, I picked them up and tried them on first. It just so happened that Jiang Qing had chosen those shoes first, and as a result, we had a verbal conflict, and things didn't go well."

He Mengbing patted her shoulder gently and said in a gentle tone, "I thought there was something wrong, but it turns out it's just a small matter. They won't take it to heart. Last time we attended Jiang Qing's wedding, didn't she even toast you? It shows that they don't take it to heart at all."

Qin Xueli bit her lip, frowned slightly, but couldn't help but said, "But, Mom, toasting is toasting, there were so many people at that time, who can be vague about etiquette?

Moreover, I am also afraid that if this matter is spread by Li Yanyan and Jiang Qing, I will be embarrassed when others mention it in the future, and they will say that I am a spoiled and domineering villain who stole other people's love."

He Mengbing shook his head slightly, took Qin Xueli's hand, and persuaded her: "Xueli, don't be too serious. Maybe you are thinking too much. Yanyan and Jiang Qing don't take this matter to heart at all. I don't think they are the kind of people who like to spread rumors.

If you really can't let it go, Mom will accompany you to find an opportunity to explain it to them calmly and thoroughly, how about that? "

Qin Xueli heard this and immediately shook her head, "I don't want it..."

Qin Hui said, "Shirley, you were definitely wrong in this matter. You were the one who stole the shoes first. Then you went to their wedding, and they toasted you respectfully. You should have apologized first."

Qin Xueli bit her lower lip and said, "I don't want to apologize..."
