Chapter 283: 283: Visiting Brother on Set
"Of course, I’m so handsome and smart. How could Auntie not like me?"
Mu Bai wasn’t sure what to say about her brother’s mysterious self-confidence and chuckled, "Yes, yes, indeed, you’re the most handsome in the world, everyone loves you!"
After talking for so long, Mu Bai still didn’t know why Murong called her, and she was about to ask when Lu Mingchen reminded her that break time was over and it was time to start filming. Just then, she heard Murong on the other end saying, "Sis, wait for me! I’ll visit you on set!"
"You’re coming to visit me on set?" Mu Bai was surprised, "Aren’t you supposed to be studying diligently with Auntie?"
However, she didn’t even get the chance to hear Murong’s answer because Lu Mingchen hung up the call, summoning her to shoot the scene.
Mu Bai felt a bit frustrated. This guy, really? Just one sentence and he wouldn’t let her finish!
But her frustration didn’t last long because Murong showed up quickly, just after the phone call, now standing packed at her hotel room door.
Besides him, there was his elder disciple brother, Zhan Jingshu.
Unlike Murong, who was dressed quite sweetly, Zhan Jingshu preferred wearing loose T-shirts, looking like a university student who hadn’t graduated yet. Well, the truth is, Zhan Jingshu is still a university student.
"Why did you bring so much luggage?"
When Mu Bai realized that the three or four pieces of luggage at the door all belonged to her brother, while Zhan Jingshu only had a backpack with a laptop in it, she was surprised.
She’s a star and has no choice but to carry lots of luggage due to her travels, but how come she didn’t know her brother was equally vain, needing three or four outfit changes a day?!
"Clothes!"
"I know they’re clothes, but do they really need to be so many?"
"Of course, sis, don’t you know how important clothes are to a person?" Murong babbled on with countless reasons, leaving Mu Bai amazed by his grasp of fashion and beauty.
Who really is the one mixed up in the entertainment industry?
"Why don’t you just join the entertainment circle?"
"Just by looking at you, I know how tiring filming is. I don’t want to stay up late till two or three in the morning for a shoot—that’s terrible for my skin. I want to be a handsome man, not a panda!"
Mu Bai was speechless: "If you don’t want to work and just want to play, just say it, don’t make so many excuses."
"Hehe, sis, you know me best. My biggest dream in life is to be rich like Uncle, wake up naturally without a care for money!"
"And pick up several more beauties along the way!" Mu Bai teased.
"Sis, you can’t slander me like that. I’m with Auntie now, aiming to become a model youth. Don’t believe me? Ask my senior, right, senior?" Murong asked the person who, upon entering, started fiddling with the computer on the sofa.
"Right!" Zhan Jingshu nodded, "All the way, he couldn’t stop looking at pretty girls!"
"I was purely appreciating; did you see me ask for their numbers?"
"I’m not a worm in your stomach."
"Hey, senior, how can you say that about me? Do you think the Master favors me a little more, and you’re jealous?"
Zhan Jingshu felt helpless and closed his laptop. "I have everything you have. Where do you think the Master is biased?"
"Biased in every way," Murong grinned smugly. "See, on the surface, Master treats everyone the same, but if my sis needs something, didn’t he send you out too?"
Zhan Jingshu was speechless. That’s because someone joined later, and the Master was worried they’d mess up, so he sent him to keep an eye on things, okay?
Mu Bai smacked her brother on the head: "When Auntie’s not around, you bully your senior like this? Ah Rong, I’m telling you, he’s your senior and will be your senior for life. You must treat him like an elder brother. If you dare not listen, I’ll tell Auntie or no, tell Grandpa, and let Grandpa deal with you."
Compared to the gentle Auntie, Mu Bai thought, that serious Grandpa was the most intimidating. Who’d dare cause trouble when he promised to discipline whoever needed it? Besides Auntie, not many could stop him.
Murong whined, "Sis, are you still my sister?" Being told to call someone younger his senior was already plenty aggrieving, okay?
"You don’t have to think of me as your sister either," Mu Bai retorted smugly.
Murong: "..."
Lu Mingchen had already anticipated the two brothers’ arrival and booked them a room with two bedrooms.
The wronged Murong really didn’t want to room with Zhan Jingshu, "Lu Bro, do you have to do this? I don’t want to share with this guy."
"The Master ordered it."
Murong: "..." I’ve come this far, and the Master is still remotely controlling!
Defeated, Murong entered the room, turning to Zhan Jingshu, "You’re not allowed in my room, got it?"
Zhan Jingshu completely ignored him, just taking his bag into the adjacent bedroom.
Lu Mingchen and Mu Bai helped drag the luggage trolley behind. "Ah Rong, do you still want your luggage?"
"Of course, these are my treasures, how could I not?" If his space ring weren’t full, he wouldn’t have brought so many cases. Not like that guy, Zhan Jingshu, who doesn’t know the first thing about fashion, only bringing a few clothes that don’t even need a space ring to pack.
Initially, he wanted Zhan Jingshu to help pack some clothes, but the kid wasn’t willing.
Murong now saw through the kid, realizing he always takes advantage of others but won’t let others take advantage of him (Han Bingye: Are you sure you’re not talking about yourself? Murong, embarrassed and angry: Get lost!).
As soon as everything got settled, Murong couldn’t wait to have his sister throw him a welcome dinner, craving a feast.
Mu Bai sighed, "Didn’t you say you wanted to sleep early for beauty sleep and take care of your skin? Now, don’t you fear staying up late?"
"Once in a while is fine, sis, don’t think about skipping my welcome dinner."
"Alright, alright, you can order whatever you want." Recently, Mu Bai took on several roles and actually earned a decent amount, becoming a ’rich lady’.
"Then I’ll have to think carefully and pick the most expensive dishes." Before heading out, Murong didn’t forget about Zhan Jingshu, "Should we bring that guy along?"
"What ’that guy’? That’s your senior, show some respect!" Mu Bai tapped him on the head.
"Sis, stop it, you’re the reason I’m turning dumb." Murong complained, rubbing his head.
"You were already dumb; hitting you won’t make you any dumber." After Mu Bai said this, she knocked on Zhan Jingshu’s room door to ask if he wanted to join them.
"I’m a bit tired and want to rest early; you guys go ahead." Zhan Jingshu opened the door and said.
"See, I knew this guy wouldn’t come!"
As soon as he said that, Mu Bai knocked him again.
"Sis!"
"Say no more!" Mu Bai glared.
Murong kept quiet obediently.
"Alright, then I’ll let the front desk know to send a dinner to your room later. After you eat, get some rest early; you can sleep in tomorrow. Lu Bro will take you both to the set. I have shooting in the morning, so I won’t wait for you," Mu Bai said.
