Ying Ruxing didn't have many scenes. She had been filming for a week before Jiang Yue came back. After she came back, she shot a few scenes opposite her male supporting actor and then she could take a break.

Jiang Yue will have to wait until she catches up on her previous progress before she can play the following scenes.

Ying Ruxing enjoyed it very much. She packed her things happily, told Ning Meigui not to disturb her, and then ran to Shi Mansion.

Shi Jinyuan was naturally in the company, and Shi Yin hadn't finished class either.

After Ying Ruxing made a small cake with her aunt, she went to the kindergarten to pick up Shi Yin.

She came several times and the kindergarten teachers also recognized her. They greeted her with a smile, and the two of them walked happily hand in hand.

Shi Yin held the grilled chicken wings in one hand and said, "Xingxing, uncle will be back very late tonight, can we go see the kitten?"

Ying Ruxing looked at the time and saw that it was still early. After telling her aunt that she and Shi Yin were going out for dinner, she drove to the old man's house.

Shi Yin ran to the door and knocked. The old man came out cursing. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the little guy looking up at him.

The words in his mouth stopped abruptly. He glared at Ying Ruxing and then put on a smiling face.

"Shi Yin is here, come in quickly, Grandpa just prepared some delicious sour plum soup to cool you down!"

Shi Yin carefully leaned forward and found something entangled under his feet.

"Meow, meow," a faint and weak sound was heard.

She lowered her head and saw that the kitten, which was thin and weak more than a week ago, had grown a lot bigger and was now furry and round.

A pair of dark eyes rolled around, and he stood up and pulled her.

Ying Ruxing was overjoyed, "Are you treating a cat like a pig?"

"Can you speak?" The old man glared at her unhappily.

The old man turned and went into the house to pour Shi Yin a glass of sour plum juice, and moved a small stool for her. The man and the cat played happily in the yard.

"Come in with me."

Ying Ruxing followed the old man into the room. He took out three envelopes from the drawer, each as thick as a finger.

"This is the previous payment. The buyer is very impressed with your craftsmanship."

Ying Ruxing roughly estimated the amount and was delighted.

The piano lessons paid by Shi Jinyuan were quite high, plus she now had a fixed income and share at Qingteng, but neither of these two sums of money could be obtained immediately.

The money given by the old man solved her living problems and tuition fees, and also gave her more sufficient capital.

"You are better than your teacher. You are now capable enough to be independent. Several buyers want to know your information. Are you willing to disclose it?"

The old man stared at her, "After you make it public, with your skills, you will definitely be able to stand out in the industry, and you won't have to worry about your life anymore."

Ying Ruxing pursed her lips, and after a moment, shook her head.

"You know I'm studying acting, and I just signed with Qingteng recently. Maybe you don't know, but Qingteng is the top media and entertainment company in the country. Although I'm not famous now, there are many people watching me."

Ying Ruxing smiled sarcastically.

"There are so many people smearing me online right now. If I make my information public, I'm afraid I'll get myself into trouble."

"The entertainment industry is too complicated, and our industry is dominated by capital. I don't want to become famous so early."

The old man nodded, thought about her situation, and sighed, "It's good this way. Hiding one's shortcomings may not be a bad thing."

"But you can't always contact you through me. Hiding yourself is one thing, but you can't be completely secretive. The deeper you hide, the more likely it is to arouse other people's curiosity."

The old man gave her a meaningful look and said, "How about this? You pick a name and announce to the public that you are my disciple."

Ying Ruxing rolled her eyes. "What do you mean by declaring it to the public? I am!"

"Shameless! I didn't agree to take you in as my apprentice. You haven't even had a sip of the apprentice tea, and you still want to be my apprentice?"

The old man muttered to himself, turned around, and looked proud.

Upon hearing this, Ying Ruxing picked up the tea on the table without hesitation, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

"Little bastard, this is my tea!"

"Can you be a little sincere? Buy it yourself?"

Ying Ruxing laughed out loud, and the old man cursed and took a sip of tea.

"Master, I have thought of a name for you. It's Wanxing."

...

Because Shi Yin couldn't bear to part with the kitten, she talked to the old man about future developments, which delayed time.

When we returned to Shi Mansion, it was almost ten o'clock.

Shi Yin was in high spirits, dancing and imitating a kitten all the way.

The dim light in the room was on, and the man's tall figure was elongated as he stood in front of the wine cabinet and opened a bottle of 35-year-old Turandot.

He glanced coldly at the two people, one big and one small, at the door, and said stiffly, "You still remember to come back?"

The big and the small lowered their heads in tacit understanding and dared not say a word.

“How many calls did I make?”

"My phone was on silent, so I didn't hear it." Ying Ruxing defended herself in a low voice.

The man said coldly, "Mute? Throw away the phone when you don't need it. Do you want me to replace it with a Little Genius watch so you can answer calls anytime, anywhere?"

Ying Ruxing curled her lips and dared not say a word.

"You're back so late, where did you go?"

"go..."

"Go see the kitten!"

Before Ying Ruxing had time to think of an excuse, Shi Yin blurted it out.

She hurriedly tried to cover Shi Yin's mouth, but Shi Yin stopped her and said sternly, "Xingxing, we can't hide it. Uncle will know sooner or later. We might as well tell him sooner!"

The young girl's face tensed up, her back straightened, and she said seriously, "Uncle, Xingxing and I picked up a kitten, but you don't like having pets at home, so we sent it to someone else's house."

"Today, we just went over to see the kittens and played a little late."

She thought about it and added, "I won't do that next time."

Shi Yin followed Ying Ruxing out. Shi Jinyuan was relieved, so he was not very angry. He was just angry that Ying Ruxing did not answer the phone and did not leak the news.

After Shi Yin finished explaining in a babyish voice, Shi Jinyuan calmed down, but still nodded with a stern face, "Well, I won't allow it next time."

He glanced at Ying Ruxing, who also nodded quickly.

"Come here and tell uncle, whose house did you leave the kitten with?"

He didn't trust Ying Ruxing at all, who was full of lies, and he thought the child was honest and reliable.

Ying Ruxing curled her lips and let Shi Yin sell them out completely.

Upon learning that the two of them had actually left the cat at Mr. Jing's house, Shi Jinyuan looked a little unnatural.

He knew that Mr. Jing lived next door to the Ying family, so it was not surprising that Ying Ruxing knew him, but Shi Yin...

He touched Shi Yin's head and said, "Uncle understands. You go back to sleep first."

Shi Yin nodded, took two steps and turned back, "Uncle, don't bully Xingxing."

Shi Jinyuan smiled, but after she left, his face darkened and he glanced at Ying Ruxing with a complicated expression.

"I know I was wrong. Don't look at me like that. I will definitely answer the phone next time!"
