After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Qiao Ran: "Sure, I'm just idling at home anyway, so I might as well go out and do some work to get back into the swing of things."

Zhao Mengmeng clapped her hands, "Oh my, tomorrow I'll have Dingding ask the producer if we can arrange a role for you, preferably one where you're with me, so we can play together."

Qiao Ran smiled and glanced at Zhao Mengmeng: "You're going to play a concubine, right? Then I'll play your maid."

Zhao Mengmeng frowned at Qiao Ran: "If you play my maid, I'll be cursed to death by the audience. How can a maid be prettier than a concubine? People will definitely say that I got the role through underhanded means."

Qiao Ran: "Then let the makeup artist make me look uglier."

Zhao Mengmeng: "How can that be? This is the first drama you've ever worked on."

At this moment, Qi Muci was sitting in his brother Qi Mu'an's office, watching the other party make a phone call.

Qi Mu'an hung up the phone and sighed with worry, "What do you suggest we do? Filming is about to start, but we can't find a suitable male lead. Either he's unavailable, or he doesn't want to act in period dramas because he thinks it's too tiring."

“You know, today’s actors are really not as hardworking as the older generation of veteran actors,” Qi Mu’an said, then suddenly paused, “Mu Ci, why don’t you go and act in it? You’re available, aren’t you?”

Qi Muci raised an eyebrow. "I don't want to be that tired either."

Qi Mu'an gritted his teeth and looked at Qi Muci, "You don't want to leave Qiao Ran, do you?"

Qi Muci smiled and said, "Since you already know, why ask?"

Qi Mu'an: "Didn't you say Qiao Ran is going to get a divorce tomorrow? Go with her tomorrow, and after she finishes the divorce, bring her back to the company to sign a contract. Then I'll arrange for her to get a role in that movie too. What do you think?"

Qi Muci thought for a moment and replied, "The female lead isn't her, so it's not interesting. I don't want to have a romantic relationship with another woman; I can't act like that."

Qi Mu'an laughed in exasperation, "Hey, you're talking to me about principles now."

Qi Muci: "That's right, times have changed. I want to pursue my wife now, and I don't want any complications."

Qi Mu'an: "Aren't you forcing me to be the bad guy? We already agreed on the female lead role. If you make me change her now, we won't have the chance to work with them again in the future."

Qi Muci: "There are plenty of actresses out there, why do you have to be fixated on one?"

Qi Mu'an: "No, Jiang Jingjing is a very popular young actress right now, a guarantee of high ratings. Although Qiao Ran debuted early, she has been retired for two years, and many viewers have forgotten her. I dare not gamble."

Qi Muci glanced at his brother, "Isn't there a good opportunity right now for Ranran to return to the public eye? Isn't she still trending on social media?"

Qi Mu paused for a few seconds, "You mean, use the divorce as an opportunity to promote Qiao Ran?"

Qi Muci stood up. "I believe our company's publicity department knows how to seize the opportunity. Brother, I'll leave it to you. If the female lead is changed to Ranran, then I'll help you put out the fire. Otherwise, you can keep making calls to find someone."

"You brat, how dare you threaten me!" Qi Mu'an grabbed a tissue from the table and threw it at his younger brother, but missed.

Qi Muci left the office with a smile, leaving behind the words, "Go home quickly, your sister-in-law is going to throw a tantrum again."

next morning.

Qiao Ran got up at seven o'clock and made her and Zhao Mengmeng a simple boiled egg and vegetable salad and brewed coffee.

After the two had breakfast, Zhao Mengmeng dragged Qiao Ran to choose clothes.

"Today is a good day, the day you are reborn, so you must choose a festive outfit."

After rummaging through the clothes for a while, Zhao Mengmeng took out a red retro-style dress and held it up against Qiao Ran.

"Take this one, it's retro style. I'll do your retro makeup later, I guarantee you'll shine."

Qiao Ran was speechless. "Mengmeng, I'm going to get a divorce, not a wedding. Do you think this color is appropriate?"

Zhao Mengmeng: "What's inappropriate about it? Who says you can't wear red when you're getting a divorce?"

Qiao Ran thought about it and realized that she actually quite liked the dress.

Zhao Mengmeng saw through Qiao Ran's thoughts, threw the dress on the bed, and said, "This one will do. Go do your makeup first, then change your clothes."

Qiao Ran couldn't resist Zhao Mengmeng's insistence, so she sat at the dressing table and let Zhao Mengmeng do whatever she wanted to her face.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mengmeng announced that the work was finished and stepped aside to let Qiao Ran see herself in the mirror.

Qiao Ran looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she had a more mature charm and a touch more allure than usual.

Zhao Mengmeng stared at Qiao Ran for a few seconds, "Hair, wait a minute, I'll give you a perm with big waves that will suit this makeup better."

After getting my hair done and changing clothes, Dingding arrived.

Upon entering the room and seeing Qiao Ran, Ding Ding's mouth dropped open. "Wow, where did this modern lady come from?"

Qiao Ran: "Isn't this too flashy? Dressed up like this for a divorce."

Ding Ding: "That's exactly the effect I wanted. Let me tell you, Ranran, that scumbag Lin Mengchuan is definitely regretting it to the core."

Qiao Ran: "No, what if he changes his mind at the last minute and regrets it and doesn't want to leave? What will I do then?"

Zhao Mengmeng nudged Dingding and whispered, "Isn't Brother Qi coming? Didn't you say he was going too?"

Qiao Ran: "Is Brother Qi going too?"

Ding Ding: "Hehe... Brother Qi was worried about you, so he brought a car full of bodyguards and is waiting for you to come down in the underground parking garage."

Zhao Mengmeng: "Why didn't you say so sooner? You guys go quickly. Remember to send me a message after you're done so I can be happy. We'll celebrate together tonight."

Dingding: "Okay, wait for my message. Ranran, let's go."

Zhao Mengmeng then gave Qiao Ran a pair of red high heels to change into before letting her go downstairs.

Qi Muci sat in the car, his eyes fixed on the elevator entrance.

Hearing the elevator ding, Ding Ding stepped out first, followed by a bright red figure. His throat tightened, and he quickly opened the door, got out of the car, and went to greet her.

Qiao Ran looked at the hand Qi Muci offered and shyly placed her hand in his palm, saying, "Good morning, Brother Qi."

Qi Muci: "You look beautiful today."

Qiao Ran: "Thank you."

They arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau in half an hour. Qiao Ran was a little nervous. "Brother Qi, why don't you wait for me in the car? I'm afraid you'll be recognized when you get out, and that would cause you trouble."

Qi Muci: "No need, I've arranged a special passage for you, go in."

Qiao Ran got out of the car with Qi Muci, and the bodyguards in the car behind them swarmed over to surround them and escort them inside.

As soon as they entered the lobby of the Civil Affairs Bureau, several men came up to greet Qi Muci and invited them to take the elevator to the fourth floor.

This was a private office, and Qiao Ran immediately spotted Lin Mengchuan in a black suit.

He came alone.

Hearing a noise behind him, Lin Mengchuan turned around and froze when he saw Qiao Ran dressed in red.

Her outfit today is a completely different style.

She is a powerful female lead, stunning and dazzling, even making Qi Muchi, who is beside her, seem like a supporting character.

The staff were stunned. One of them rushed to ask their supervisor, "Boss, are you sure this is for a divorce? Are they really not here to get married?"

The boss glared at his subordinate and said, "Didn't you see the news yesterday?"

The staff member then believed him and raised his voice with a smile, saying to Lin Mengchuan and Qiao Ran, "Gentlemen, please come this way and show us your identification documents: ID cards, marriage certificates, and divorce agreements."
