I Am Rich

18

Hua Hongxi said that, but under the eyes of Qi Mingsheng and Qi Chengyan, he still did not dare to do anything rash.

So after Guan Zhiyi went inside the house to find Qi Mingsheng, he also hurriedly followed her in.

"Xiao Wu, have you eaten anything?" Qi Mingsheng's attitude towards Guan Zhiyi was the same as that of his own granddaughter, he spoiled her very much.

Guan Zhiyi sat down next to him: "I ate a small cake and drank some juice."

"Tsk, it's not enough to eat just a little bit. Didn't Grandpa prepare a lot of food for you, why didn't you eat it." Qi Mingsheng looked at Hua Hongxi, "Don't you know how to take care of Xiao Wu."

Hua Hongxi was feeling wronged: "I did ask her to eat, but she did not want to."

Qi Mingsheng: "Xiao Wu, is it the food that doesn't suit your appetite?"

"No--"

"She's controlling her weight, ah." At this moment, Qi Chengyan came in.

Guan Zhiyi raised her eyes to look over, only to see that the Yang family lady also followed him in. She had only met this Miss Yang at a party many years ago and was not familiar with her, so this time she only nodded slightly to greet then turned her eyes away.

"Aren't you already very thin? Why did you still control your weight." Qi Mingsheng said, "Xiao Wu, health is important."

"I know, I will eat."

Qi Chengyan looked at Guan Zhiyi's good-natured response and laughed lightly, "You're so good at saying perfunctory words to grandpa."

Guan Zhiyi exploded: "I, I did not perfunctory grandpa!"

"Really, then I'll watch you eat later."

Guan Zhiyi stunned slightly: "I'm not a child."

Qi Chengyan calmly leaned back: "If you don't want to eat, then you don't eat, what's the difference with a child." 

Guan Zhiyi couldn't say anything to Qi Chengyan, so she turned to Qi Mingsheng: "Grandpa..."

Qi Mingsheng glanced at Qi Chengyan: "Ignore him, grandpa believes that you will definitely eat properly."

"Um!"

Qi Cheng Yan shook his head, obviously helpless to his own grandfather's biased vision.

"Mengjia, how are you today, did you eat well?"

Yang Mengjia, who had been sitting quietly, saw Qi Mingsheng ask, and quickly said, "Don't worry, grandpa, I ate well."

"Okay, that's good." Qi Mingsheng said to Qi Chengyan, "Cheng Yan, Mengjia is our distinguished guest. You have to take care of her."

Yang Mengjia: "Don't say that, and don't treat me as a guest. I can take care of myself."

"Oh yes yes yes, look at me." Qi Mingsheng glanced at Qi Chengyan meaningfully, "you are not a guest."

Qi Chengyan, however, didn't receive Qi Mingsheng's signal at all, picked up a cup of tea for himself and took a sip.

Yang Mengjia probably felt a little embarrassed, so she started another topic, "Are Hong Xi and Zhi Yi together? I was a little surprised when I heard someone say that outside."

Hua Hongxi: "Yes, we have been together for several months."

Shen Mengjia smiled: "That's nice, you two are a good match."

Qi Mingsheng: "Yes, Xiao Wu grew up under my nose, I can't let her marry someone else's family, if she can marry into our family in the future, then I'll be very happy."

"Grandpa, I will work hard." Hua Hongxi said with a smile and suddenly said,"Eh? It suddenly occurred to me, Zhiyi, you should call grandpa, wàigōng**!"

(**mother's father, maternal grandfather)

Guan Zhiyi was taken aback, "Huh?"

Hua Hongxi jokingly said, "You should call grandfather wàigōng with me, how could you follow brother and call grandpa Yéyé**, ah."

(**paternal grandfather)

Guan Zhiyi subconsciously glanced at Qi Chengyan after hearing this, just as she did that Qi Chengyan's gaze also turned over, her heart jumped: "I ...... I'm used to it."

Hua Hongxi: "This, you can't get used to it."

"......"

"Did you marry someone?" Qi Chengyan glanced at Hua Hongxi and helped Guan Zhiyi pick up the problem."So anxious to make people change their minds."

"I'm not." Hua Hongxi said cheerfully, "Isn't I just joking about it , right Zhiyi."

Guan Zhiyi: "...... Oh."

Guan Zhiyi has to rush back to the crew tonight, so she left after staying for another hour. Hua Hongxi was told by Qi Mingsheng to send her off. When the two went to the garage, it happened that Yang Mengjia and Qi Chengyan also came down.

"Can't you go back tomorrow?"Qi Chengyan asked.

Guan Zhiyi didn't want to see Qi Chengyan walking with another woman, she muttered: "I have to shoot in the morning."

"Then you pay attention to safety."

"I know."

Hua Hongxi peeked out from the driver's seat: "Brother, you worry too much, I'm here, I will send our Xiao Wu back to the hotel intact."

Qi Chengyan glanced at him, "Drive well."

"Yes, sir!"

Guan Zhiyi got on the passenger side and their car drove first. In those few seconds when the car was just moving, she couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.

That familiar figure helped Yang Mengjia open the car door, gentleman and polite.

She wondered, what will they talk on the way to send her back? Or, they actually won't go back right away, after all, those two people have good feelings for each other, maybe the two people were only changing places to date ......

Guan Zhiyi took a deep breath and forced herself to withdraw her gaze.

Forget about it, it's none of her business.

On the other side, Qi Chengyan also drove the car out of the garage.

"Thank you for taking me home." Yang Mengjia broke the silence in the car.

Qi Chengyan: "You're a guest, I should be."

He is really good at pulling away.

Yang Mengjia smiled, choosing another topic to talk, "I remember seeing Zhiyi before, she was still very young at that time."

"Is it."

"Well, she still looks young now, just taller. She has a baby face and is very cute."

Qi Chengyan's lips curved extremely lightly, "Yeah."

"Seeing the way grandpa and you treat her, you guys should be very familiar with each other."

"We live in the same block, naturally know each other well."

"How nice."

Qi Chengyan glanced at her and intentionally ended the conversation, "Miss Yang, thank you for coming to grandpa's birthday party today."

"You don't need to call me Miss Yang, you're too virtuous."

Qi Chengyan said, "We are not familiar with each other, do we?."

Yang Mengjia chuckled softly:"People are all becoming familiar from unfamiliar, so we might as well start by calling each other by names. I know that you may not be interested in me now, but you also know that we are suitable, we can try to get in touch with each other."

"This blind date was forced by my grandfather. After I went, he had a self-perception that I was interested in you." Qi Chengyan glanced at her sideways, smiling faintly, but his eyes were cold."However, I think I've made it quite clear to you.”

"I know, I also understand." Yang Mengjia said, "But I truly feel that we are quite suitable, It doesn't matter if you can't accept me now. Feelings are cultivated, Coming to Japan is long**."

(**the future is long (idiom); there will be ample time for that later / It means there is something to do or there is a chance in the future)

Qi Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then Miss Yang is going to be disappointed."

Yang Mengjia leaned her head and looked at him: "President Qi, can't you be more optimistic about our future?"

After returning to the set, Guan Zhiyi continued devoting herself to filming.

Half a month later, they will shoot a scene of them riding horse while playing Jī jū**.

(**Ancient polo. Two teams fight. Horse riding with the batting start, you have to hit the ball to score. more explanation)

Since this scene was the first plot in the script, today Guan Zhiyi, Xiao Ran and others are all dressed with makeup and hair as the youth version of their character.

"There's still a week left before I finish." Zhao Mingming lamented.

Guan Zhiyi has lost the sense of restraint from the early days when she filmed the drama,"I am almost done too."

Li Xuan: "I haven't, I still have one month left."

Guan Zhiyi smiled and said, "Teacher Li has worked hard."

Li Xuan: "By the time I'm finished, Let's remember to make an appointment for dinner in private."

Zhao Mingming joked: "That depends on whether Brother Ran has time."

Xiao Ran, who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, heard the words: "You all have time, I dare not have time."

"Everyone know that you're a frequent flyer**."

(**someone who often rides airplanes)

"I have to find time to squeeze ah." Xiao Ran said and looked at Guan Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, what are your plans after you finish?"

Guan Zhiyi: "Um...there is a potential travel variety show to participate in, and the drama is still being selected."

"Is Brother Ran's side ready." The crowd was still chatting when a staff member came in.

The makeup artist said, "Eh, it'll be ready right away."

"Then everyone, come out first and get ready."

Guan Zhiyi and others got up to walk outside. This scene was when the emperor was still a Crown Prince. A scene where the Crown Prince, Princess Zhaoyang, and Shen Sibo play Jī jū on the field together.

In this scene, the long-range riding and galloping movements are all done by stuntman, while the close-up must be done by the actor themself.

Guan Zhiyi actually used to ride a horse when she was a child, at that time because Guan Yuanbai and Qi Chengyan like horsemanship, she looked at them riding a horse and found it interesting, so she asked the two to bring her along. Eventually, she stopped playing after a few laps on the horse. She felt that riding horses was not as interesting as it looked.

Later, riding horse was part of the script, so for the past two weeks, several actors have received special training for it, except Xiao Ran, who can already do it by himself.

After Xiao Ran's makeup and hair were finished, everyone officially started filming.

Guan Zhiyi was helped by the staff to climb up the horse and began riding it.

Everything went well at first, the four of them moved to their respective positions and completed their designated expressions and movements.

But midway, there was a scene where Xiao Ran hit the ball and the ball went into the box. In this scene, in reality, Xiao Ran only needed to bend over to hit the ball on the ground.

Xiao Ran was very good at riding horses, he leaned sideways, then hit the ball, his posture was smooth, and the completed movements were very beautiful.

However, no one expected the ball that was hit to fly in the wrong direction and hit the horse Guan Zhiyi was riding. The ball was too fast, before anyone could react, the horse was frightened and let out a long cry!

The horse's front feet immediately vacated, the whole body leaned back!

"Ah..." Guan Zhiyi was caught off guard, she couldn't even pull the reins and instantly fell off the horse's back.

"Zhiyi!"

"Zhiyi!"

The incident was so sudden that the people in front of the camera were stunned. After reacting, the staff nearby immediately pulled the horse, while the other staff rushed over to check Guan Zhiyi's condition.

"How is it? Does it hurt anywhere?!" The staff asked anxiously.

Guan Zhiyi forced herself to endure the pain on her ankle and said, "Leg, my leg seems to be twisted."

"Doctor! Let a doctor from the crew come over first, and call an ambulance right away."

"Okay!"

Xiao Ran also immediately got down from the horse: "Are you okay? How are you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know the ball would hit your horse!"

"It's okay, it's not like you did it on purpose." Guan Zhiyi saw Xiao Ran's guilty face and waved her hand, "It's really okay, don't worry."

Xiao Ran turned pale when he saw Guan Zhiyi's painful face still trying to comfort him, all of a sudden he was almost killed by guilt: "Where is the doctor! Hurry up!"
