A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 770: Movie Release!
Once Ning Ze and the others left, only Mu Yan, Jiang Jingheng, and Zhuang Yi remained.
With no one else around, Zhuang Yi directly said, "Grandpa asked me to bring you back, within the next couple of days."
"I have work," Mu Yan frowned and said.
"Cancel it."
Mu Yan glanced at him, her eyes full of displeasure.
Zhuang Yi said softly, "This is Grandpa’s wish. When he steps in, things get complicated."
Mu Yan was silent for a moment, realizing she couldn’t avoid it.
"Arrange it then."
Seeing her relent, Zhuang Yi showed a hint of joy on his face.
"Alright, let’s go back tomorrow. Grandpa and Grandma really miss you."
"Hmm." Mu Yan nodded, linking arms with Jiang Jingheng as they walked out.
After a few steps, she noticed Zhuang Yi following behind and frowned, saying, "Why are you following us?"
"To watch a movie, of course. I’ve already bought the tickets, it’d be a waste not to see it. Besides, I absolutely must support your movie premiere," Zhuang Yi said with a smile, then glanced provocatively at Jiang Jingheng, "Brother-in-law should have no objections, right?"
Some people were once very disdainful of being my brother-in-law, but now, after going in circles, aren’t they just that?
Jiang Jingheng, "..."
He couldn’t be bothered with Zhuang Yi, and wrapped his arm around Mu Yan as they moved forward.
Behind them, Zhuang Yi looked at Jiang Jingheng’s hand around Mu Yan’s waist, wishing he could chop it off like a salty pig’s paw.
Damn it, he tricked my sister without my consent; this grudge will be avenged sooner or later.
There were a lot of people at the cinema for the midnight showing, as it was summer break and a Friday, with no work or class the next day.
Dong Le bought tickets for the VIP hall, so it was relatively less crowded.
The movie opened with Leng Hao’s character Zhao Feng making his entrance. Zhao Feng’s unruliness angered his comrades, sparking internal strife.
No one expected that this scene would be witnessed by Captain Dai Qing, who then promoted Zhao Feng into the team against protocol.
Zhao Feng fell in love with Dai Qing at first sight and immediately asked her to be his girlfriend.
Mu Yan was wholly absorbed in watching the screen, not missing a single detail as she looked for her shortcomings and highlights.
However, Jiang Jingheng, sitting beside her, was not in a good mood, even though he knew she was just acting, he didn’t like anyone coveting her.
If it weren’t for holding onto his sanity, he would have given that actor playing Zhao Feng a good thrashing.
As the movie progressed to the later parts, when Zhao Feng and the others were burying their fallen comrade and taking vows, many in the theater cried.
Regardless of how people complain about their country on usual days, it doesn’t mean others are allowed to bully or humiliate it.
Everyone has a patriotic heart, just add a spark, and it will ignite.
As the movie ended, everyone seemed reluctant for it to be over.
As Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng were leaving, they heard people discussing the film.
"Didn’t waste my sleep time; it was quite good."
"How could it not be, with Leng Hao in it?"
"I think Mu Yan acted well too, full of presence."
...
After most people left the screening room, Mu Yan, Jiang Jingheng, and Zhuang Yi went out together.
"It was very good," Zhuang Yi suddenly said. "Even though some parts of the film were exaggerated, I saw the spirit of a soldier, which was truly impressive—a rare treat of a movie."
"Thank you." Mu Yan nodded slightly.
Zhuang Yi smiled, "What’s with the thanks? Once we get home, I’ll have Grandpa go watch this film."
Mu Yan suddenly felt a bit nervous; Mr. Zhuang was someone who had truly been to a battlefield and experienced life and death, his standards must be high. What if he doesn’t like it?
Seeming to notice Mu Yan’s concern, Zhuang Yi laughed and said, "Don’t worry, as long as it’s a movie you act in, Grandpa will like it."
Mu Yan inexplicably felt a tinge in her nose and an urge to cry.
