Chapter 67: 67 Palm (1)
He, holding his phone, walked straight to his own makeup room, closed the door tightly, and then spoke, “Dad, this is Bo Yan.”
“Bo Yan, how is Siyu doing?” A gentle voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.
Bo Yan cracked the door of the makeup room slightly and looked out. Xia Siyu appeared to have finished her apology and regained her composure, looking down at the script, “She’s doing quite well.”
The person on the other end was not moved by his formulaic “everything is fine” response, and after a pause, he said, “Actually, I’ve read some news recently…”
With an expressionless face, Bo Yan answered just as mechanically, “Just rumors, the reporters write nonsense.”
“Don’t worry about that, if there are any false reports, I’ll have someone suppress them,” Xia Youbiao replied casually before asking, “Actually, what I want to know is how she’s really doing lately.”
Bo Yan looked at Xia Siyu’s untroubled demeanor, “She should be doing not too bad.’
But having said that, the image of her recent cold gaze suddenly flashed across his mind. However, he couldn’t say anything negative about her in front of a parent, so he remained silent.
“As long as she’s fine, that’s good,” Xia Youbiao sighed several times, and was about to continue but then fell silent, “In three months, your grandfather will be celebrating his eightieth birthday. Will you both come together, or…”
He paused here and added, “Sorry, it’s because I argued with her last time, and she blocked me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable calling you about Bo Yan frowned, took a breath, and tried to sound calm, “That’s not a problem, Dad. I’ll have her come. We will definitely attend.”
“Good, good, good,” Xia Youbiao said three “good” in a row and then hesitated, not knowing what else to say. After a long silence, he asked again, “What about your relationship… after all, you’ve been married for three years. Of course, Dad knows that you both are actors and understands your pursuit of careers. You’re both adults, making your own considerations; 1 won’t rush you to have children or anything. 1 just hope that you can also consider your family.”
Bo Yan listened silently to his father’s words, and after a long while, he nodded, humming a soft “mm-hmm” through his nose.
“If she has done anything overboard, let me apologize to you on her behalf. If it wasn’t for the family situation, she wouldn’t have…”
“It’s not her fault,” Bo Yan said, seemingly defending her, but his tone was clearly a bit impatient. Xia Youbiao was taken aback, then nodded, “Understood.’
After saying that, Xia Youbiao hung up the phone, reverting to the decisive Xia in a second as he did so.
Bo Yan didn’t bother with too many details. His phone buzzed a few times, and when he checked, it was a message from his uncle. He ignored it, switched off the screen, and put the phone in his pocket.
The chaos outside had been sorted out, and he followed suit and walked out.
Outside, Xia Siyu knew nothing of all this. The bald actor came back after a rest and continued with the scene, which still had areas that were not passable, so they went on to reshoot.
After composing herself, everyone delved into the storyline in a second. This time, Xia Siyu managed to control her emotions well and earnestly immersed herself in the filming process..
