"Did Shen Laoer do something to upset you?"

The moment they stepped out of the banquet hall, Jiang Li asked cautiously.

Zhou Jiawen wanted to say no, but the thought of keeping it all bottled up felt worse, so she decided to just vent to Jiang Li about it.

She finally concluded, "I feel like he doesn’t like me anymore."

Jiang Li instinctively retorted, "Are you sure you’re not overthinking it?"

Although she hadn’t interacted with Shen Yuchu much, she could tell from their few encounters that he cared about Zhou Jiawen.

Before Zhou Jiawen could reply, Jiang Li spoke again. "But if you really think Shen Laoer doesn’t like you anymore, you can use the time you’re filming to give him the cold shoulder. See how he reacts."

Every relationship needs a bit of novelty to keep it fresh.

That goes for friendships and marriages alike.

Zhou Jiawen nodded in agreement. "In that case, I’m even more eager to start filming that short-form drama."

Speaking of filming, Zhou Jiawen asked worriedly, "But I’ve never studied acting before. Don’t I need some kind of training?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "You don’t. The acting requirements for short-form dramas aren’t that high. You can learn as you go."

Besides, it’s our own production, so the standards are even more relaxed.

As long as the actors are good-looking, the audience will forgive any flaws in the acting.

Because beauty conquers all.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiawen threw her arms around Jiang Li in a big bear hug. "Sister-in-law! I love you to death!"

If the circumstances had allowed, she would have planted a big SMOOCH right on Jiang Li’s cheek.

The two of them had just reached the elevator. Jiang Li asked, amused, "What kind of movie do you want to see?"

Zhou Jiawen thought for a moment, then tilted her head. "Let’s see a comedy."

The whole point of going to the movies was to lift her spirits, so of course they had to see something funny.

Jiang Li nodded, pulled out her phone, and sent a message to Liu Qian.

There was a large movie theater not far from Jinyuan. Instead of driving, the two of them decided to walk, figuring it would help them digest their food.

On the way, Zhou Jiawen linked arms with Jiang Li and they chatted about the short-form drama. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the mall.

As soon as they got to the mall, a message came in from Liu Qian. The movie started in a little over forty minutes.

Jiang Li put her phone back in her pocket, her eyes scanning their surroundings. They landed on a nearby arcade, and her interest was suddenly piqued. "Want to try the claw machines for a bit?"

Come to think of it, she hadn’t played the claw machine once since Shen Yanzhi went abroad.

Zhao Sinian thought it was childish, and Zhong Mufeng was always too busy.

Following Jiang Li’s gaze, Zhou Jiawen’s eyes were instantly captivated. "Yes!"

What girl could possibly refuse something so fluffy and adorable?

The two of them stepped into the arcade. Jiang Li glanced at the price list on the wall. "Let’s get 400 yuan worth to start."

Four hundred yuan for 600 tokens. That should be enough for at least half an hour of play.

Zhou Jiawen froze for a second, then immediately pulled out her phone and opened her payment QR code, ready to pay.

Jiang Li’s expression hardened as she stopped Zhou Jiawen’s hand. "You’re out with me. There’s no way you’re paying."

’Besides,’ she thought, ’I’m not short on cash. Jiang Manshu just transferred me five million. A mere 400 yuan is a drop in the bucket!’

Zhou Jiawen grinned. "I’ll let you handle the big expenses, but I can at least afford the small stuff."

Besides, it wouldn’t be right to have Jiang Li pay for everything all the time.

’Even if Jiang Li is rich, I’m her sister-in-law, not her daughter-in-law. My conscience wouldn’t be clear if I let her spend money on me all the time.’

Seeing that Jiang Li was still trying to stop her, Zhou Jiawen said, "If you don’t let me pay, then let’s not play at all."

Jiang Li sighed and dropped her hand, no longer insisting. "Fine, you pay."

’Anyway, a few hundred yuan isn’t much,’ Jiang Li thought. ’And Zhou Jiawen can afford it, having just received five million herself.’

After she paid, the clerk brought over two baskets of game tokens, one for each of them.

Once she had the tokens, Zhou Jiawen grabbed two small rolling carts and pushed one over to Jiang Li, raising an eyebrow. "Sister-in-law, let’s have a competition. See who can win more prizes."

Jiang Li’s competitive streak flared up. A slight smirk played on her lips. "All right, it’s a competition! Just don’t cry when you lose!"

’After all,’ she thought, ’Shen Yanzhi himself taught me how to master these machines. It’s been five years, but I’ve still got the touch.’

’I might not get one with every single token, but I can definitely snag a prize every three or four tries.’

’That’s how confident I am.’

Zhou Jiawen looked at Jiang Li in surprise. "Oh? Someone’s confident, are they?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "Naturally."

Zhou Jiawen handed one of the rolling carts to Jiang Li. "Then let’s begin. Time to see who the real claw machine master is!"

The first thing Jiang Li did after taking the cart wasn’t to immediately start playing. Instead, she took a walk around the arcade.

’The first rule of the claw is to scout the machines for easy targets. If you find a prize that’s already close to the chute, you can usually get it in just two or three tries.’
