Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Mother is a God-Level Boss

Chapter 205 My Mother Was a Heartthrob in the 1980s

"Still sleeping? The situation is urgent."

Han Yiru felt angry when she saw Li Cheng sleeping like a log.

"Oh dear, what could possibly happen? The entire Li family will be ours soon, what's the rush?"

Li Cheng rolled over and said nonchalantly.

"The Li family isn't just yours alone. Even things that seem certain can change. You're so confident."

Upon seeing this, Han Yiru couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"What do you mean? You mean things have changed? Does it mean my dad has some illegitimate child?"

Li Cheng was startled and immediately sat up.

"It's not your dad, it's your older brother."

Han Yiru said irritably.

"What? Impossible, it's fake, it must be fake! You know my brother's situation, so where did you hear this from?"

Upon hearing that it was his elder brother, Li Cheng relaxed completely and leaned against the edge of the bed.

"Where did you hear that from? Of course, from your mother and your sister. Could they be lying?"

"What! It's them!"

Li Cheng was now fully awake and quickly got dressed.

"This is a problem. Mom already favors my older brother. If Dad finds out, I'm afraid there won't be anyone on our side in this family."

Li Cheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes rolled around.

"What are you afraid of? I woke you up because I wanted to ask you for some people. If something happens to Mom's beloved eldest grandson, do you think she would still favor your older brother?"

Han Yiru chuckled and said.

"My wife, you're the one who makes the best plans."

"That's right, thanks to you, the Li family has long belonged to your elder brother."

Han Yiru crossed her arms and gave a light sneer.

While Li Cheng and the other man were discussing how to deal with the situation, Si Qingzhou happened to run into Chen Cheng, the son of Editor Chen.

"Qingzhou, Si Qingzhou, wait a moment."

"you are?"

Si Qingzhou looked at the male classmate in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"I'm Chen Cheng, we're in the same major, we met before in the student union."

Chen Cheng spoke generously.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing, I have an uncle who is a director, and he wants to cast your mother in a movie."

Chen Cheng smiled sheepishly; this was indeed a bit outrageous.

"Acting? My mother is just an ordinary person. You've got the wrong person."

Si Qingzhou glanced at Chen Cheng with a puzzled look, and immediately prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hey, don't go! My uncle is preparing a legitimate film with generous pay. It's definitely a professional film."

Chen Cheng pulled Si Qingzhou and said urgently.

"I can't be sure about that. I'll ask when I get back."

Si Qingzhou originally intended to refuse, but when he thought of his mother's beauty, he felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave some images as a memento. However, everything still depended on his mother's wishes.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply. Here, this is my home phone number. If you're interested, just call this number; someone will answer anytime."

Although Si Qingzhou didn't agree directly, Chen Cheng thought that as long as she didn't refuse outright, there was still a chance.

As soon as Chen Cheng returned, he was stopped by Editor Chen, who was waiting for him.

"Son, how did it go? Did it work out?"

"Not yet, but he didn't refuse outright. He just said he'd go back and ask. I think there's still a chance. But I know about their recent situation, so Uncle Zhang will probably have to prepare more compensation."

Chen Cheng, considering Si Qingzhou's reputation at school and her family background, offered sincere advice.

"You don't need to tell me that. Your Uncle Zhang isn't short of money. Now it's just a matter of the other party agreeing."

However, what Editor Chen and his colleagues didn't know was that many people wanted the female lead role.

"Wang Chengyu, you're saying your uncle cast a middle-aged woman as the female lead? That's ridiculous."

Wang Chengyu's female classmate from the performing arts department asked incredulously.

"Yes, I'm wondering about that too, and I heard the other party hasn't agreed yet."

Wang Chengyu was also puzzled. Weren't there enough beautiful women at the film academy? He had no idea what his uncle's taste was.

"So you asked me to ask your cousin at University A because you want her to help you find someone?"

"Yes, Shanshan, do you think it'll work?"

“I do have a solution. I recently heard from my cousin that University A is going to hold an academic exchange conference, and students from several universities will be attending. I’ll try to get some tickets.”

Lin Shanshan was also very curious; she wanted to see just how beautiful that middle-aged woman was.

"Hey, Qingzhou, how's your sister doing lately?"

Xiao Yuan asked, his expression unnatural.

"What sister? Call me auntie."

Si Qingzhou paused for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Yuan indifferently.

"Okay, did the aunt mention me—no, did none of us mention it?"

Xiao Yuan looked embarrassed and somewhat at a loss.

"I mentioned it before, my mom asked me to treat you to another meal to thank you."

"Oh, really?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Si Qingzhou with a look of surprise, but soon he asked with a troubled expression.

"Did Auntie mention a time? I'm free anytime. Also, is it for dinner at your house?"

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, a hint of unease appeared on his face.

"We'll eat at my house, but the time hasn't been decided yet. Just wait for our notification, and you'll definitely get your share."

Si Qingzhou glanced at Xiao Yuan helplessly.

"That's good, that's good. You can let Auntie prepare whatever she wants. I'm not in a hurry or picky. I'm fine with whatever I eat."

Xiao Yuan chuckled awkwardly.

Seeing that his good brother Si Qingzhou didn't say anything, Xiao Yuan lowered his head and chuckled, wondering why he had suddenly become like a young lad.

However, remembering the news he had heard a few days ago, he asked again.

"Qingzhou, I heard that someone is asking you to make a movie?"

"Yes, you already know that? It's not even close to happening yet, but you're already well-informed."

Si Qingzhou raised an eyebrow and said teasingly.

"That's right, I'm a well-known tech whiz."

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Si Qingzhou's speechless expression, and could only chuckle before continuing.

"Okay, just kidding. Someone came to me for help, and it's the same person who asked Chen Cheng to find you before. Hmm, Auntie's charm is really something."

Xiao Yuan crossed his arms and sighed.

"It seems this director has a really wide network of connections."

Si Qingzhou was a little surprised. Was it really that the other person had to be her mother?

"That's right, that's Director Zhang, who has won numerous awards both domestically and internationally. He has a wide network of connections in City A, so it's not surprising that he contacted me."

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Si Qingzhou again.

"However, what surprised me was that he asked a lot of people for help; it seemed like he wouldn't give up until he got them."

Xiao Yuan's expression was subtle; he had a feeling that the director might be trying to woo Aunt Si Yan.

"You'll know what a person is like once you meet them. I asked my mom about it when I got home, and she said she was planning to give it a try. If the plot is normal as they say, and there are no intimate scenes, it's worth a try. It's a new experience in life."

Si Qingzhou thought of the enthusiasm in his mother's eyes when she talked about acting in movies, and he liked it. That's what made his mother feel alive.

"Auntie will definitely have no problem. I asked around, and the character in the drama is described as a stunningly beautiful woman. Isn't this a piece of cake for Auntie?"

Xiao Yuan paused when he thought of Si Yan's sparkling eyes; who wouldn't be mesmerized by those eyes?

"Alright, you can come along when we eat and give us your opinions."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Xiao Yuan happily agreed, delighted that he would have another chance to see Si Yan.

"Oh, by the way, Qingzhou, did you know that you were selected as the student representative for this academic exchange meeting?"

Xiao Yuangang was so happy that he almost forgot what he was supposed to say to Si Qingzhou.

"However, Zhao Yifan was also selected among us. You guys have to do your best. I heard that there are several campus beauties and department beauties among the students who came this time."

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow at Si Qingzhou, looking at her with ill intent.

"Get out of here, my studies are my top priority right now."

Si Qingzhou glanced at Xiao Yuan speechlessly.

"Hey, what's wrong with that? Aren't you good enough at your studies? Hey, Qingzhou, you're a young man. This is a new era. It's not illegal to find someone who shares your interests."

Xiao Yuan patted Si Qingzhou on the shoulder and said with an embarrassed smile.

"Female classmates are easy to find, but like-minded people are not."

Si Qingzhou didn't really know what kind of partner he liked. Over the years, he hadn't really understood what it felt like to have his heart racing.

However, he soon learned that a girl who appeared at this exchange made Si Qingzhou feel his heart flutter for the first time in his life.

Of course, he doesn't yet know that some things shouldn't be said lightly, because he'll soon be proven wrong.

"However, Qingzhou, An Xiaoyu has been pursuing you for so long, haven't you ever been tempted? She's the eldest daughter of the An family in City A. If you marry her, you'll never have to worry for the rest of your life."

Xiao Yuan thought of An Xiaoyu, who had been following Si Qingzhou, and looked at Si Qingzhou curiously.

After all, no one dislikes gossip, and men are no exception.

"I just don't like it, there's no special reason. I believe that with my own abilities, I will eventually make a name for myself."

Si pursed her lips and said softly.

"Okay, all I can say is, bro, you're this kind of guy."

Xiao Yuan gave Si Qingzhou a thumbs up, after all, there aren't many men like him.

At this time, Si Qingzhou was unaware that the Li family mother and daughter would also appear at this academic exchange meeting as sponsors.

“Mom, my second sister-in-law is going too far. I greeted her with a smile, but she turned around and left without even glancing at me.”

"Li Rui said angrily."

"Alright, you know your second sister-in-law's character, why bother with her?"

It's true that Li's mother dislikes Han Yiru, but it's also true that she's long been used to her behavior.

"Hmph, let's see how long she can be so smug. Once we find our eldest brother's child, she'll probably be so angry she won't be able to sleep."

Li Rui couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Han Yiru's possible expression at that time.

"Don't go too far. Although I don't want your second sister-in-law to be in charge, your second brother is also my own son."

Mrs. Li frowned slightly.

"I know, I just dislike my second sister-in-law. But Mom, I think my second brother has been acting strange lately. I feel like he's hiding something from us."

Li Rui recalled a scene she had inadvertently witnessed earlier and asked in confusion.

"What could possibly happen? You know your second brother's temperament; it's just a woman's business anyway."

Mother Li knew her second son well; he had no major mistakes, but he kept making small ones, which had caused her a lot of worry since he was a child.

"No, Mom, I saw my second brother holding hands with a woman who was dressed very elegantly that day. They were smiling quite happily, and I felt that the two of them didn't have that kind of relationship."

Li Rui felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Alright, stop paying attention to your second brother. He's a good-for-nothing who only makes things worse."

"Mother Li said impatiently."

"Okay, but Mom, you've really gone all out this time, sponsoring so much money. Aren't you worried about the cost?"

Li Rui asked curiously, this was not her mother's usual style.

“Your older brother’s son is going to be a student representative. If we sit in the front row, we’ll be able to see much better.”

As long as she can see her eldest grandson, Li's mother is willing to spend any amount of money.

"Yes, your son and grandson are treasures, and you are willing to spend money on them, but your daughter is like a weed that no one cares about."

Li Rui's tone was sour, and her little expression was incredibly aggrieved.

"Alright, don't be sad. Mom won't let you down. Go to your room and see. I brought you a pink diamond from America this time, which will match your new dress."

"Mother Li said reproachfully."

"Hehe, I knew Mom was the best, unlike Dad, who's only nice to my second brother."

“Your dad really spoils your second brother. I don’t know what your second brother did to please your dad. He’s always been exceptionally biased towards him since he was little. I’ve told him, but he won’t listen.”

Li's mother was also very puzzled, perhaps because her second son resembled Old Li more.

"Should we tell Dad about this?"

Li Rui hesitated for a moment before asking.

“We haven’t even met the person yet, let’s wait a bit longer. Your dad is so busy, let’s not tell him about this for now.”

"Alright, anyway, Dad loves Second Brother the most."

Li Rui pouted. The happiest person in this family must be her second brother, Li Cheng.

Time flies, and it's Saturday again. Si Yan got up early because she had arranged to meet with Director Zhang today.

"Mom, are you ready?"

"Alright, you can go now."

Si Qingzhou looked up upon hearing this, but what she saw made her freeze on the spot.

"Mom, you look so beautiful today, just like a girl in her early twenties."

"It's not that exaggerated. Mom is almost forty."

Si Yan covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"No, Mom, put on your mask. I bought you a cloth mask specially. It won't be uncomfortable for you."

Si Qingzhou casually handed the mask to Si Yan from the side.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Si Yan sighed softly, but still obediently put on the mask.

[Fake or real, host, do you think you can't tell if it's that exaggerated? I spent so many points to buy this "Most Popular Aura," how fun is it?]

"System Xiaoqi said through gritted teeth."
