The Jian couple, naturally biased towards their elder grandson, glared at Jian Fan as if their eyes were knives.
Jian Fan explained apologetically, but Jian's mother chided, "He's just a child, why are you arguing with him? How immature!"
Jian Zhou, who enjoyed stirring up trouble, smirked and asked with schadenfreude, "Brother, how does it feel to have a precious son? Are you especially happy?"
Jian Fan forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "Happy! I'm so damn happy I could die!"
Of course, that was all in the past.
If the current Jian Fan knew that having children was specifically designed to spite him, he would never have used public opinion to pressure Jiang Yushuang.
But there was no turning back time; he had dug his own grave.
Jiang Ling's transmigration indirectly changed the destinies of many, including the couple Jian Fan and Jiang Yushuang.
After becoming a platinum artist, Jiang Ling's life remained largely unchanged.
During this period, it was all about filming, and then more filming.
Because she knew exactly what she wanted.
Only by acting could she become strong and possess the capital to fear no scheme.
However, as the vast majority of netizens joked, Jiang Ling was the woman who owned the trending searches.
Even if she didn't cause trouble herself, she would inexplicably trend.
Wang Jianzhong hadn't received a good script in over a year since filming "The Empress of the Han Dynasty" last year.
One day, he received a call from a close friend in the industry.
This friend, also a director, told Wang Jianzhong that he had been too busy with work over the years to spend time with his parents.
Now that his mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, he wanted to return home to be with her for her final days, to make up for his regrets and omissions.
The problem was, he had recently started a film, hired all the actors, and halfway through filming, he couldn't just abandon it. Therefore, he hoped Wang Jianzhong could help him finish the film.
Wang Jianzhong had a very good relationship with this friend. Upon hearing this, and thinking of his own deceased mother and the regret of "the child is eager to support, but the parents are no longer there," he agreed without a second thought.
After completing the handover, his friend returned home to be with his mother as he wished, while Wang Jianzhong stayed with the crew to finish the remaining scenes.
Perhaps it was because of the previous filming of "The Empress of the Han Dynasty," where all the actors' performances were on point, especially Jiang Ling, who had given him too many surprises.
As Wang Jianzhong began filming, he immediately noticed the inexperience of the male and female leads in their acting.
It wasn't just their poor acting; their attitude towards filming was also problematic.
The actress playing the female lead was named Liu Tian'er, the hottest young star of Flying Star Media, one of the five major conglomerates, who had just been promoted to A-list this year.
Liu Tian'er had a smooth journey into the entertainment industry. Relying on her good looks and her parents' wealth, she easily became an A-list artist by flaunting her wealth and cultivating a "rich and beautiful" persona.
They say that when people become too successful, they tend to get arrogant, and Liu Tian'er was no exception.
With fame and fortune coming so quickly and easily, Liu Tian'er became self-important, believing she was the best little fairy in the entertainment industry.
She lacked acting skills yet was overly sentimental. She didn't film properly and her lines were terrible. When acting with other actors, her lines were simply "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."
Wang Jianzhong had a short temper. Seeing Liu Tian'er recite her lines like that, his anger flared, and he was about to unleash a torrent of criticism.
But he remembered that this drama was being filmed on behalf of his friend, and Liu Tian'er was an A-list artist. If a conflict arose, not only would he be in trouble, but his friend would also suffer.
