Chapter 1958: Still Sis-in-law Who Cares About Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though Ning Xi was quite famous, her popularity was still only confined within the country . In Hollywood, artistes like Ning Xi could merely get a supporting role .

It was the first time in history for a Chinese artiste to take on the role of a female lead in Hollywood .

The film crew was the world’s best too . Even some of the artistes who played insignificant roles were also quite famous in Hollywood .

Most importantly, the producer this time was the mysterious Jace . . .

Based on just the situation in China, many of the big shots’ managers used all sorts of methods to get a small role for their artistes . Even just being cannon fodder would be worth it . . .

Sadly, almost none of them succeeded .

Even if Lu Jingli was extremely confident in Ning Xi’s capabilities, there did not seem to be any logic in the matter .

Thus, to guard against the unexpected, he was not assured and still asked a few more questions .

“Sis-in-law, forget about how ‘Assassin’ is a remake of a mega-classic . Even if it was a normal Hollywood movie, have you seen any Chinese female star play the lead role? Even if it was just an important supporting role, there are very few . In fact, there’s almost none . . . Hmm, how old is Jace now?”

Lu Jingli suddenly thought of something and tried to change the topic without sounding stiff .

Ning Xi obviously knew what Lu Jingli was thinking about . She straightforwardly said, “At least 80 years old! Stop thinking about nonsense! Mr . Jace is a very nice person!”

“Then, could the old mister have lost his mind?” Lu Jingli muttered softly .

“Hmm?!” Ning Xi instantly squinted her eyes .

“Uhh . . . I must say, this time the producers of ‘Assassin’ are indeed quite skilled . They aren’t restricting themselves and dare to break through to try new things . It’s considered good fortune too that they actually discovered such a super artiste such as my sis-in-law . Even I’m a little envious!” Lu Jingli immediately made a thumbs-up and corrected himself quickly .

“Don’t lick my boots . ” Ning Xi immediately stuffed the apple that she had just peeled into Lu Jingli’s mouth .

As he caught a glimpse of the shiny fruit knife in Ning Xi’s hand, Lu Jingli smiled to flatter her . “Sis-in-law, what are you saying? What’s my status? How could I be licking your boots? I only lick dragon boots . . . Haha . . . “

Lu Jingli changed the topic . “Sis-in-law, for ‘Assassin’, I remember that there’s a male assassin character . I think that would suit me . “

Ning Xi could remember this character clearly too .

The old version of the male assassin was considered an important role too . Back then, Hollywood’s famous comedian, Marlow, had played the character .

Ning Xi still remembered some classic scenes of a man wearing a female disguise .

“Forget it! Mister Lu is handsome and confident . How could you possibly act as him? Don’t ruin the dreams of thousands of girls!” Ning Xi rolled her eyes at Lu Jingli .

“Only you are so considerate of me, Sis-in-law!” Lu Jingli looked touched .

At this moment, the door creaked open .

Lu Tingxiao put his keys away and there were bags of fresh vegetables and meat in his hands .

“Bro, have you resolved the company matter?” Lu Jingli promptly ran over to ask .

Lu Tingxiao walked into the kitchen, washed his hands and then returned to the living room . He simply said, “It’s no bother . “

“That’s good if it’s fine . That’s good! I won’t disturb you guys . I’ll leave now!” Lu Jingli was ready to slip away, reluctant to be force fed with their display of affection .

“You’re already here . Just stay for dinner!” Ning Xi said .

“Mmm, well . . . ” In between his fear of their intimate display of affection and the temptation of delicious food, Lu Jingli still chose to surrender to his appetite in the end .

“It’s still Sis-in-law who cares about me . Let’s just happily decide on that then!” Lu Jingli instantly retreated back and sat down on the sofa to begin watching a movie .

What a rare opportunity!
