The Best Actor’s Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me!

Murong Yunxi’s safe return was a piece of good news to the people who had accepted her death, but Murong Qingtian’s situation was undoubtedly a blow to everyone.

While everyone was worried, Murong Qingtian’s lawyer came.

The lawyer, whose surname was Fang, was around 50 years old and had been cooperating with Murong Qingtian for 20 years. During these years, they had been like good friends. He was also one of the few friends that Murong Qingtian could treat with sincerity.

Today, lawyer Fang came mainly for two purposes, one of which was to visit his old friend. Murong Qingtian’s situation worried him a lot. After being friends for so many years, he would be really upset if Murong Qingtian actually passed away. As he grew older, friends around him passed away one by one, so he had become increasingly sentimental and lonely.

His second purpose was to talk about Murong Qingtian’s last will and testament to Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi.

Murong Qingtian had already made his will early. He had never mentioned this to anyone, but he had arranged everything beforehand.

Murong Ye, who was somewhat shocked to see lawyer Fang, introduced him to Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu. “Xiao Xi, this is lawyer Fang, an old friend of our father.” Then, he introduced the two of them to Fang Yan. “Uncle Fang, this is my sister Murong Yunxi and my brother-in-law Gong Yu.”

Fang Yan looked at Murong Yunyu with an inquiring expression. He had heard his old friend mention the daughter he had just reunited with not long ago many times and praise her. However, this was the first time he was meeting her. Murong Qingtian’s affection and praise made Fang Yan curious about this girl.

Upon seeing Murong Yunyu now, he noticed her beauty and saw a trace of something beyond calmness on her young face. Her special temperament made the well-informed man feel shocked.

“I’ve heard Brother Murong mention you many times.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for your appreciation. I cannot hold a candle to my brother!”

Murong Ye smiled proudly. This was the first time he smiled in days. “Xiao Xi, you’re excellent. You should not look down upon yourself. I received a better education and different training and started earlier than you. You’re really talented and your gift surpasses most ordinary people, so you can improve quite a lot in a short time.”

Fang Yan quietly listened to Murong Ye praise Xiao Xi. Normally, people from rich families would always treat their brothers and sisters as competitors. As a lawyer, he had witnessed too many cases of striving for power and authority in rich families. Therefore, he found the good relationship between Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi somewhat unexpected.

Murong Ye had been groomed as an heir ever since a young age and would logically inherit everything from Murong Qingtian, yet he had accepted his changing future. Even though a competitor had suddenly showed up and he should have been alarmed, Fang Yan saw no such alertness between Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye.

This discovery made Fang Yan focus on Murong Yunxi more. There were only two possibilities why Murong Ye did not mind splitting a part of his family property with his sister. One was that Murong Yunxi had indeed deep scheming abilities and had gained Murong Ye’s trust and made him give up his share.

The other possibility was that Murong Ye did not care about this. He considered family property nothing, so it did not matter what he would get.

Of course, Fang Yan chose to believe the former possibility, because one would mind acquiring more wealth! In addition, Murong Ye was a rare genius. By owning everything, he would build a better future and make more brilliant achievements. He would not achieve less or more than Murong Qingtian.

This line of thought made Fang Yan misunderstand Murong Yunxi. As a result, he seemed to not truly like her.

“Xiao Ye and Xiao Xi, I should go see my brother Murong first. We can find another place to have a serious talk later.” Even though Fang Yan had some doubts about Murong Yunxi, he showed nothing on the surface. As a lawyer, he had already practiced the skill of not showing his true feelings. Thus, Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi did not detect his different opinion.

Fang Yan stepped towards Murong Qingtian’s ICU ward. The nurse disinfected him and put him in a protective suit before he was allowed to get in.

Fang Yan sat down on the chair next to Murong Qingtian’s bed. While he looked at Murong Qingtian, who was unconscious, he felt sorry. During the past 20 years, Murong Qingtian had always been in fine fettle. Except for the wide sky over his head, Murong Qingtian had been able to reach everything. He was a man of indomitable spirit, like a god that no one could surpass.

Now, this man of indomitable spirit had fallen, making Fang Yan think of towering trees falling down.

There was a trace of grief on his old face as he lightly covered Murong Qingtian’s cold hands with his rough hands. The cold touch made Fang Yan feel so sentimental that he was about to break down.

“Brother Murong, how could you fall down so easily? No matter how serious a wound you suffered or how heavily you were sick, you always recovered in the past. Why are you lying here now?”

Silence was the only response Fang Yan received. Murong Qingtian did not even move his eyelids. This situation made Fang Yan feel really worried.

“Brother Murong, you were always hoping to find your daughter. She has not been back for long, yet you have already had enough? Are you willing to leave them? Now, you have a son and a daughter, so you should enjoy the family affection that I envy the most! I just met your daughter, who is a really beautiful and smart girl. My brother, you were not bragging about this. With such a good son and daughter, your late years will be very pleasant. You should recover soon…”

Fang Yan said some words casually. He did not even know what he was talking about. He just thought Murong Qingtian might be able to hear him but might not be willing to talk about his boring topics.

Unconsciously, Fang Yan talked about the daily issues and his past with Murong Qingtian for nearly an hour. He felt a little bit thirsty but he still got no response from Murong Qingtian. He stopped and looked at Murong Qingtian with a sigh.

Fang Yan was a lawyer, yet he did not like talking too much, perhaps because he spoke too many words during his work or because he did not encounter some topics that were worth talking about. However, he was talkative that day and said much more to Murong Qingtian than usual.

Fang Yan took a final look at Murong Qingtian. Except for the continuously beating equipment, the room was deadly quiet.

Fang Yan got out of the ward and found Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye still standing guard outside. Due to the status of the Murong family, the hospital had actually arranged a lounge where they could rest, which was not far from Murong Qingtian’s ward. However, few of them stepped into the lounge. Instead, they had been guarding the door during the past few days.

Murong Ye stood up upon seeing that Fang Yan was out and looked at him with a trace of exhaustion in his deep eyes.

“Xiao Ye, let’s find a quiet place. I want to talk to you and Xiao Xi about something.”

Murong Ye nodded and turned to Gong Yu, who always stayed with Murong Yunxi. “Gong Yu, come with us! We are family, so there is nothing you can’t know.”

Murong Ye walked ahead, followed by Fang Yan, while Gong Yu held Murong Yunxi and walked behind them. The four of them reached the lounge together.

The lounge looked comfortable and included all the basic equipment. It looked like a suite with a living room and a bedroom.

They sat down on the sofa, and there was brewed tea on the coffee table. Murong Ye lifted the teapot and poured four cups of tea. Then, he said, “Uncle Fang, you can get straight to the point!”

Fang Yan picked up the teacup and drank all the tea. He felt a little bit thirsty and his throat hurt after speaking so long to Murong Qingtian. Drinking up a cup of tea made him feel better.

“Today, except for visiting my old brother, I came to talk about your father’s last will and testament.”

When Fang Yan finished his words, the other three were stunned while holding the teacups.

“Testament? Even if my father’s state is not good, this isn’t yet the moment to talk about this!” Murong Ye said with a hint of anger and utmost coldness.

Murong Yunxi, who was unfamiliar with Fang Yan, did not say anything directly, even though she also felt that Fang Yan should not be talking about this at the moment. She just looked at Fang Yan with a gloomy expression.

As a lawyer, Fang Yan had seen this kind of situation many times. Whether they were being sincere or hypocritical, this topic was no longer strange.

“Actually, I also find it inappropriate to talk about this at the moment, but this is your father’s wish. He asked me to give you this testament before he passed away if he did not wake up. I don’t agree with him either, but he insisted. Due to my professional nature, I still have to follow his personal will.”

“I don’t think it’s necessary. My father will wake up soon. It seems that you made this trip in vain, Uncle Fang!” Murong Yunxi resisted Fang Yan’s words and refused directly.

Fang Yan, who was somewhat surprised by Murong Yunxi’s refusal, turned to Murong Yunxi in hopes of figuring out whether she was being sincere.

Then, Murong Ye also said in denial, “Uncle Fang, I agree with my sister’s thoughts.”

Whether Murong Yunxi’s words were true or not, when Murong Ye agreed with her, he could not help grinning. “In that case, I should respect your wishes. I don’t have to stay here. Excuse me!”

As an old friend of Murong Qingtian’s, he’d certainly hoped to stand by his position. However, since his son and daughter said so, he chose to leave decisively.

Fang Yan stood up and walked to the door after saying goodbye to the three of them. They also politely got up to see off their guest. Upon opening the door, they were shocked to see the two people standing in front of it, who had been planning to knock at the door.
