Chapter 30 Normal Needs
here"Jo Ruo Xing gave him a cold glance and replied, her tone even more cutting than his, "What does it have to do with you"Gu Jingyan's eyelids twitched violently. If he continued, they were going t...Li Yan's expression grew grave, her lips pursed as she continued to read.
Qiao Ruo Xing's emotional processing is very detailed. With so many lines, in just two minutes she delivered them all smoothly, and her acting skills are impressive, not like someone with no experience at all.
Not a word was spoken in the entire hall until the performance ended.
Although Qiaojoxing was confident in her abilities, she couldn't possibly process every single emotional situation perfectly within such a short timeframe. She could only say that she had done her best.
Li Yan didn't say whether it was good or bad, but whispered something to the person beside him, then looked up at Qiao Ruoxing and said, "Try another segment."
Qiao's eyes lit up a bit, it seemed there was hope. Otherwise, just this one section would be enough to make her roll out.
Another script landed in her hands. Qiao Ruoxing lowered her head to read, and it wasn't the role she had just auditioned for, but instead the third female lead, the role of a noble concubine.
This character is different from the previously mentioned stereotypical female supporting role. She's a noblewoman who was born into a wealthy family, possessing captivating beauty and a haughty demeanor. She acts recklessly and tyrannically in the palace, taking advantage of the emperor's favor to the point where even the empress gives her some deference.
When dealing with the female lead, he is ruthless and evil, bad to the core. But in front of the Emperor, he becomes a charming and clingy little goblin, able to act cute and throw tantrums. The character's contrast is very strong, if you can grasp that balance, this character will be very likable.
But, wasn't number three already decided Why let Li Yan try this scene
Though I had doubts in my heart, I didn't open my mouth to ask further. After finishing the lines, I looked up and said, "We can begin now."
Li Yan nodded, indicating for her to begin.
Jo Ro Xing's emotions were brewing well. With a lift of her eyes, she effortlessly exuded an overwhelming aura of pride and arrogance.
She was stunningly beautiful, completely deserving of the phrase "nation's beauty, heaven's fragrance". It wouldn't be a surprise at all to say she outshone all the other women in the palace.
Her alluring expression, coupled with her coquettish tone, would leave anyone mesmerized, not just the Emperor.

After the performance, it fell silent again.

After trying two scenes, Qiao Ruoxing had a little more confidence now.
Privately, she preferred the role of the Noble Consort, as the character was more well-developed. However, for such an important role, it probably wouldn't be given easily. As long as she could secure the role of the fourth female lead, she would be satisfied.
"Why didn't you act after you graduated"
A few minutes later, Li Yan voiced his own doubts.
If you're going to sign a contract, you inevitably have to investigate the actor's background. After all, everyone is afraid that something might be exposed halfway through, and the project will be shelved before it airs.
Qiao Ruo Xing pondered for a few seconds before revealing the truth, "Because I got married."
Li Yan was taken aback. He never expected it to be because of marriage.
After another moment of silence, Li Yan said, "Leave me your contact information. I'll let you know if there are any updates."
Only when she walked out of the room did Qiao Ruoxing feel her heartbeat gradually return to normal.
The more composed and steady she appeared before Li Yan, the more nervous she was inside.
Tang Xiaoxiao had been waiting there the whole time. Seeing her come out, she immediately ran over and said, "How did you take so long to come out If you didn't come out any sooner, I was going to call the police!"
Qiao Ruoxing grasped her wrist and whispered, "Let's talk outside."
After she got on the bus and finished telling him what happened inside, Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Damn, damn, damn, Li Yan let you try the role of Concubine Gui Does he want you to play Concubine Gui"
qiao said, "I don't know. How could I possibly play such an important role Besides, wasn't the casting already decided"
Tang Xiaoxiao closed the car window, "Actually, it's all online rumors. No one really knows for sure whether it's been decided or not, and Li Yan doesn't rule out using newcomers."
Although she said so, Qiao Ruoxing still lacked confidence.
Tang Xiaoxiao was full of confidence, "Did you have anything to say after playing the role of Li Yan"
qiao-er shook her head. "Just leave a phone number, maybe he just had a whim to try me out."
Tang Xiaoxiao said, "It would be great if I could play the Noble Consort. However, getting the role of the fourth female lead wouldn't be bad either. Let's go have a nice meal to celebrate after this."
" Qiao Ruoxing laughed, "It's too early to celebrate before things are even settled!"
Then let's celebrate your imminent escape from this marital tomb, it's all good news anyway.
Tongren Road has opened a new barbecue restaurant recently, and business has been booming. People are checking in every day on social media, saying the taste is very good.
When they arrived, it was indeed crowded. There were no parking spaces left at the front door, so they had to park in the underground car park of the shopping centre across the street.
Tang Xiaoxiao got her driver's license three months ago and volunteered to show off her reverse parking skills. Qiao Ruoxing got out of the car and stood behind her to help watch for obstacles.
Just then, Qiao Ruoxing saw Qiao Xusheng and a young woman get out of a white Audi parked across the street.
The woman had long hair and was dressed very fashionably and young. Her entire outfit was worth a lot of money. As soon as she got out of the car, she walked up to Qiao Xisheng and put her arm around his, in a very intimate manner.
Qiao Xusheng had a smile on his face, an expression she hadn't seen on him many times in her whole life.
It seemed that her gaze was too intense, Qiao Xusheng suddenly looked in her direction, and when he saw Qiao Ruoxing, he frowned, then wiped the woman's hand from his arm and signaled for her to leave first.
Then he pursed his lips and walked toward Qiao Ruoxing, "A Xing, what are you doing here"
He held himself with an air of seniority, completely unfazed by his daughter's discovery of his illicit affair.
Qiao Ruo Xing glanced in the direction where the woman had disappeared, his face expressionless. "When did it begin"
What's with that tone
The tone of this question made Qiao Xusheng very uncomfortable, just like the taste of He Yurou back then. It was full of condescending attitudes, making people feel irritable and suffocated.
"So tell me, what tone should I use when I see my father being intimate with another woman You're too busy to visit my mom when she's critically ill, but you have time for private meetings with other women"
Qiao Xusheng was furious. "Watch your tone! If I hadn't spent money to keep your mother alive, she would have been dead long ago! She's been lying there for six years, half-dead and unable to move. Am I supposed to stay with this vegetable for the rest of my life"
Qiao Ruo Xing clenched her fingers, her heart turning to ice.
Perhaps feeling that his words were too harsh, Qiao Xusheng softened his tone and said again, "A Xing, your mother was in an accident when I was only in my forties, at the peak of my life. No man could stay by a wife's side like this for their entire lives. I promised you that I wouldn't divorce her, but I am a normal man with my own needs. Look at those big bosses in the business world, which one doesn't have several mistresses The ones I found were after your mother's accident, and they were only to satisfy my physical needs."Shu handed two boxes to the nanny at home, gave her a few instructions, and then drove away.After Lin Shu left, she ran home and took the thing from the nanny's hand. When she opened it, she frowned,...
