Chapter 399: Are you angry?
Mu Yan continued shooting the second half after returning to the set.This is a small-budget movie, with her scenes making up most of it, and it was completed in less than a month.
When she left the small village, all the children came to see her off.
Although she was filming this past month, she had a great time with these kids.
Especially seeing their eager eyes for learning always brought tears to her eyes.
Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, but sometimes fate cruelly takes that right away.
On the day of completion, it was Song Cheng’an who came to pick her up personally. She was heading to Jiang City to audition for a role.
In the car, Mu Yan said to Song Cheng’an: "Brother Song, can we donate money to the children here in my name?"
Song Cheng’an glanced at her and nodded, "We can."
Mu Yan added, "Let’s make it an anonymous donation."
"Okay!"
Song Cheng’an asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
"I’m grateful to have an amazing mom who gave her all to fulfill my dreams, but not every mother can do the same, and I don’t want to see tragedies happen."
Mu Yan turned her head to look out of the window, feeling that the word "dream" sometimes carries too much weight, one that not everyone can bear alone.
Not long after arriving in Jiang City, Mu Yan received a call from Zhao Xiyue.
Zhao Xiyue asked her about the audition and reminded her not to forget attending her birthday party the day after.
She had mentioned it to her many times before.
Mu Yan reassured her repeatedly, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there."
"Okay, then I’ll be waiting for your birthday gift."
"Mm," Mu Yan responded.
She hung up the phone and started contemplating what to give Zhao Xiyue as a gift.
This time, Zhao Xiyue had recommended her to the director for the audition, which was another palace drama, but this time she was auditioning for the female lead.
Mu Yan was actually reluctant about auditioning for this role.
Palace dramas are currently very popular, but she had already acted in one before and wanted to challenge other genres.
However, she couldn’t let Zhao Xiyue’s kind recommendation go to waste.
Before the audition, Jiang Jingheng called her.
They hadn’t seen each other for almost a month. He had a critical acquisition case abroad, so he couldn’t make time to return to the country.
Nevertheless, he called almost every night.
"Today’s movie shooting is completed, I’m now in Jiang City auditioning for a role, and then I can return to Upper City," Mu Yan relayed her schedule.
Finally, she couldn’t help but ask: "When will you come back?"
She missed him dearly, whether she was busy or not.
That’s why she felt it was good to stay busy.
"I’ll be back soon," Jiang Jingheng said, "Or do you want to come to the United States?"
"I don’t have a passport," Mu Yan said softly.
Besides, she had many other things to do and needed to spend time with Chenchen.
"Mm," he replied, slightly cold.
Mu Yan sensed something was off about his mood and asked, "It’s not that I don’t want to be with you; it takes a long time to get a passport."
"I mentioned this to you last time."
"I..." Mu Yan couldn’t find the words, paused for a moment, and then said, "I’m sorry."
There was no response from the other end, prompting Mu Yan to anxiously ask, "Are you angry?"
"Mm."
Mu Yan, "..."
After a brief moment of silence, she said softly, "I miss you."
"Are you trying to pass it off with just that?" he asked.
"No, I’m serious," Mu Yan quickly replied.
"I’ll be back very soon," he said.
After chatting for a while, Mu Yan hung up the phone, as it was her turn to audition.
In the United States, Jiang Jingheng hung up the phone and asked his secretary to book a flight ticket.
He originally planned to tell her he’d be home the day after but decided to surprise her instead.
