3508 Greetings to Sister-in-law As Well
Xie Jiling asked in shame, “You heard it all?”
Han Zhuofeng had spoken so loudly. Of course, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya heard it.
She had reasons to suspect that Han Zhuofeng had done it deliberately.
“Quickly come sit here.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya pulled Xie Jiling over. “Wait a moment.”
!!
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya then went to Yan Zhiqing’s camper van.
Her backpack was in Yan Zhiqing’s van as well.
After a while, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya emerged with a lot of snacks in her arms.
“We bought a lot of snacks. They’re all in Zhiqing’s van. Normally, we’ll just go back to the van to get more when we’re done eating whatever we had taken out,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
There was a folding table in front of them, which could be used to place the snacks on.
There was even a small pot of coffee on the table. It was currently on keep warm, so they could conveniently drink it whenever they wanted.
Yan Zhiqing and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had been the ones who brought all these things here.
They had been with the crew for a long time, so they had some experience now.
They were able to make their environment much more comfortable as much as possible within the confines of their circ.u.mstances.
It was only at this moment that Xie Jiling knew it was possible to do such things.
After that, Xie Jiling took out her tablet and placed it in standing mode on the table.
Then, the three people ate snacks and drank coffee while watching a TV series.
They were extremely content.
After watching for a while, Yan Zhiqing noticed that it was almost time. She said, “I should go prepare for my next scene.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya left to touch up someone else’s makeup.
Yan Zhiqing dragged Xie Jiling along to help her rehea.r.s.e her scene.
Xie Jiling didn’t know how to act, so she could only take read the script earnestly.
Fortunately, she was able to help Yan Zhiqing quite a lot due to her earnestness.
Yan Zhiqing went to film the scene. Xie Jiling watched Han Zhuofeng move about busily so much that he was sweating.
Seeing this, she thought he was having a much harder time than her whenever she was out exorcising spirits.
Since Han Zhuofeng had found himself a girlfriend…
The cast and crew were in great harmony.
They were working very efficiently today.
Since they completed today’s film schedule at around 6 pm…
Han Zhuofeng suggested that someone should make a reservation at a restaurant in the nearby business district.
While everyone else was packing up the equipment, Han Zhuofeng went to look for Xie Jiling.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya went to one side and called up Han Zhuoling and told him the restaurant’s location.
Seeing as there were so many people attending the dinner today, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya guessed that it wouldn’t end early. In fact, they might even still be at the restaurant by the time Han Zhuoling had made his way over.
“Zhuofeng got a girlfriend today, so he invited the whole cast and crew for dinner,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
Hearing that, Han Zhuoling laughed. “That rascal’s actually that happy.”
Han Zhuofeng hadn’t been single for that long, yet he was already that happy to find a girlfriend.
Had Wei Zhiqing said something about it yet?
“All right. I won’t bother you anymore. Take care when you drive over here this evening,” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said.
“Alright…”
They had to wake up early to film tomorrow, so everyone was very restrained.
Even when they drank alcohol, they only drank a little, and they also didn’t force Han Zhuofeng to drink.
Before long, Han Zhuoling eventually arrived.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhuoli and Lu Man had come along with him.
Han Zhuoli had wanted to continue staying on paternity leave, but he was dragged back to work by Han Zhuoling who had reached the limits of his patience.
Even if they were brothers, Han Zhuoling shouldn’t be pressuring Han Zhuoli so much, right?
When s.h.i.+ Xiaoya called Han Zhuoling earlier in the day, Han Zhuoling was still at the company.
So, Han Zhuoli overheard the conversation.
He immediately tossed his child over to the family home. He took Lu Man along with him as he followed Han Zhuoling to the restaurant.
They had dinner at the family home yesterday evening.
However, Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling had yet to become an official couple.
At that time, the two of them were still just friends.
So, Han Zhuoli and Lu Man rushed over this evening.
Today was Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling’s first day officially as a couple.
A few seats had been reserved for Han Zhuoling and the others at Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling’s table.
When they went over and sat down at the couple’s table, Lu Man said with a beaming smile, “Congratulations.”
“Before, Jiling kept addressing me as ‘Sister.’ I didn’t expect that after calling me Sister all this time, she would actually become my younger sister.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said as well, “However, she can no longer call you ‘Sister’ in the future. She’ll have to call you ‘Sister-in-Law’ instead.”
Xie Jiling looked around at the people seated at the table. Aside from her, everyone else belonged to the Han family.
If they weren’t of the surname ‘Han,’ they were a wife of a man with the surname Han.
Xie Jiling suddenly felt as if she were small, weak, pitiful, and helpless.
“Right, right.” Lu Man nodded and looked at Xie Jiling with an ardent gaze.
Delighted by Xie Jiling’s misery, Han Zhuoli said, “I’ll let you call me ‘Uncle’ one more time. You’ll have to address me as ‘Brother’ in the future, right?”
Xie Jiling was speechless.
Han Zhuoli raised his chin and said smugly, “Quickly. Let me hear you call me ‘Brother’.”
At this moment, not only did Han Zhuofeng not help Xie Jiling, but he even joined in on the fun. “That’s right. Just call him ‘Brother’ as I do. You’ll have to change how you address him sooner or later.”
With so many gazes on her, Xie Jiling almost shrank into the size of a quail.
Under all that pressure, she could only force herself to call out, “Greetings to Brother.”
“What about ‘Sister-in-Law’ then? Is there no greetings for the ‘Sister-in-Law’?” Lu Man said immediately afterward.
“…” Xie Jiling discovered for the first time that Lu Man was very mischievous as well. “Greetings to Sister-in-Law… as well.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya shook her phone. “I recorded it and sent it to Grandmother for her to listen.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had sent it straight to Old Mrs. Han.
Xie Jiling didn’t know what to say.
Han Zhuofeng immediately said to s.h.i.+ Xiaoya, “Eldest Sister-in-Law, hurry up and take a photo of Jiling and me.”
Han Zhuofeng reached out and grabbed Xie Jiling’s shoulder, pulling her toward him.
He had no confidence in the photography skills of straight men like Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli.
Lu Man was sitting in a position that wasn’t very convenient for taking photos.
Meanwhile, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had the best angle to take photos.
She Xiaoya took a photo for them and even edited it.
Afterward, she sent it over to Han Zhuofeng.
Han Zhuofeng immediately showed it to Xie Jiling.
Xie Jiling had never taken a photograph with Han Zhuofeng before, let alone stand in front of a mirror with him.
So, she never knew they looked so harmonious when they stood together.
However, she would be quite brazen if she said it herself.
Nevertheless, it was truly the case.
In any case, the more she looked at the photograph of the two of them, the more she liked it.
Xie Jiling nodded and commented, “Excellent harmony!”
Han Zhuofeng was extremely happy as well. “I think so, too.”
Han Zhuofeng saved the photo without delay and said, “We look very good together, but this background is no good. It can’t be used as a screensaver. What a pity.”
There were other tables behind them. The staff members of the production team were seated at those tables, and they were all having a big drinking party.
It made for a lively scene, but it didn’t look high-end enough for a screensaver.
Xie Jiling nodded. “Tomorrow morning, we’ll take one together at the set. I saw that there were many great backdrops on set. There was even a s.p.a.ce capsule. We don’t need anything else, though. We just need a white wall as our background. Just that will look really good.”
This way, they wouldn’t need to worry about leaking anything from the set.
Han Zhuofeng immediately nodded in approval. “Right, that works.”
After that, Han Zhuofeng posted the photo on his Weibo and Moments.
He posted the same line on both posts: “My girlfriend came to visit my workplace.”
This time, Han Zhuofeng didn’t block it from the view of Old Mrs. Han and the others on Moments.
Old Mrs. Han was the first to comment: “My grandson and granddaughter-in-law look so good together. Well-matched! [Thumbs up]”
Old Mrs. Qi: “Zhuofeng got a girlfriend so early. He has truly grown up!”
