After breakfast, I went with Lucas to the Zhou family’s old house.
Old Chairman Zhou was seriously ill but didn’t like the atmosphere of hospitals, so he had always been recuperating at home.
When we arrived, besides the family doctor, there was also a girl.
She had appeared at the wedding yesterday. If I remember correctly, she was introduced to me as Chloe, Lucas’s cousin.
Seeing Lucas, Chloe immediately stood up and came over:
“Cousin Lucas, you’re here!”
She was visibly excited, pulling Lucas into the room as if she hadn’t seen me standing beside him.
Lucas moved unhurriedly, ignoring Chloe, and instead walked into the room slowly with me.
Pulling me to the bedside, Lucas spoke to Old Mr. Zhou on the bed, “Grandpa, we’ve come to see you.”
I also greeted him, “Grandpa, are you feeling better?”
Old Mr. Zhou seemed to be in good spirits, nodding continuously at me and Lucas, his eyes even becoming moist.
“Good, seeing you two married makes me feel better! All my illnesses are gone.”
“Lucas, Olivia lost her parents early. You must never bully her, understand!“
Lucas nodded without hesitation.

Q
Chloe, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, finally found an opportunity to interject:
“Grandpa, don’t worry. No one can bully Olivia. She has someone backing her up.”
As soon as she spoke, she successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Old Mr. Zhou asked puzzledly, “Chloe, what do you mean?”
Chloe rolled her eyes, her mouth pouting high:
“Grandpa, you don’t follow the entertainment industry, so you don’t know. Olivia is Director Johnson’s favorite. As long as it’s Director Johnson’s drama, she’s sure to play the second female lead. Everyone says, lead actresses come and go, but Olivia is always there!”
“With Director Johnson around, no one dares to bully her.”
Chloe’s words were too strong; even with my years of rhinitis, I could smell the strong sourness.
Lucas and Old Mr. Zhou both fell silent.
After a while, Old Mr. Zhou lifted his eyelids and slowly said, “Chloe, you’ve been busy here all morning too. Go home now.”
“Alright.”
Chloe nodded happily and excitedly left the room.
As she was leaving, her inner voice reached my ears: ‘You little bitch, just wait. How dare you think you’re worthy of marrying my Lucas! Only I am worthy of Lucas.
I was no longer surprised at being able to hear others‘ inner thoughts, but I couldn’t help glancing at Lucas.
Hmm… I wonder if Lucas knows about his cousin’s thoughts?
As soon as Chloe left, Old Mr. Zhou spoke to me:
“Olivia, is what Chloe just said true?”
Faced with Old Mr. Zhou’s concerned face, I didn’t hide anything and nodded directly.
I thought he would despise me, but unexpectedly, Old Mr. Zhou’s face was moved:
“You’ve suffered so much, only being able to play second female leads all these years. Don’t worry, I’ll tell Lucas to open a media company right away, guaranteeing you’ll be the lead actress!”
“???”
Ah, this…
No!
How come Old Mr. Zhou’s focus seems a bit different? Aren’t wealthy families supposed to be most wary of actresses like me who are involved in scandals?
I fell silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
It was Lucas who spoke up, resolving the awkward situation for me: “Grandpa, the Zhou family can afford to support a woman. She doesn’t need to go out and make a spectacle of herself”
“That’s right, that’s right. This old man is confused. Olivia, don’t take what I said seriously. You just need to marry into the family and enjoy life, you don’t need to do anything!”
