Lu Gan was puzzled by Song Ci’s words.
“Based on his current condition, isn’t it a good thing for him to sign a contract with you? Since you have so much faith in him, you’ll be willing to provide him with various resources. Why would he reject this offer?”
Lu Gan’s point made sense, but he was oblivious to certain circumstances.
Song Ci explained, “Chu Yi may not want to stay in the entertainment industry. He needs time to think over such a big decision.”
In Lu Gan’s eyes, Song Ci was a very caring and considerate person. She never made others feel uncomfortable. Personally, Lu Gan would never think that far. As a businessman, all he valued was time.
Lu Gan sat in Song Ci’s resting area for a while. He noticed that people kept coming and requesting for her to practice with them.
Meng Jun was first in line today. He had a scene to film and rushed over once his makeup was done.
Of course, Song Ci did not refuse. After informing Lu Gan, she left with Meng Jun.
Lu Gan watched as they got into position. Afraid of falling asleep again, he quickly turned his head.
‘Wait… Didn’t I come here to see Song Ci? Why am I looking away?’
With that thought in mind, Lu Gan turned his head back.
Some time passed. Lu Gan’s eyelids felt heavier and heavier. Song Ci’s image was blurring.
In the end, Lu Gan still fell asleep.
Song Ci and Meng Jun had finished rehearsing. She was about to drink some water. At that moment, she saw Lu Gan sleeping soundly.
“…”
Song Ci was already used to it. She simply sighed and covered Lu Gan with a blanket.
Fu Wenze got out of his van and happened to see this scene. He did not manage to get a good look at Lu Gan’s face. Only his wheelchair stood out. However, he noticed that Song Ci’s eyes looked very gentle.
“Who is that man?”
His assistant replied, “I don’t know. I’ll go and ask.”
Fu Wenze nodded.
The assistant immediately approached Song Ci.
“Miss Song, are you busy?”
Song Ci was about to rehearse with Meng Jun again, so she nodded.
“I’m going to practice with Brother Meng. After that, I have a scene to film.”
“I see.”
The assistant looked at Lu Gan and asked, “Who is he? I’ve never seen him on set before.”
Song Ci replied with a smile, “My brother. He’s visiting me.”
“He’s…”
The assistant glanced at Lu Gan’s wheelchair.
Song Ci did not like it when others judged Lu Gan for his disability. Her smile faded.
“That’s none of your business.”
Song Ci’s tone was harsh.
The assistant thought to himself, ‘She probably doesn’t want others to pity her brother.’
Subsequently, he returned to Fu Wenze and relayed the information to him.
Fu Wenze was not convinced.
‘Brother? They’re both adults of the opposite gender. There are many other possibilities…’
Fu Wenze could not figure out the truth. Regardless, Lu Gan was disabled. He probably needed a lot of money for medical treatment. In other words, Fu Wenze should have no problem dealing with him and winning over Song Ci.
In fact, Fu Wenze had already asked someone to investigate Song Ci’s background. She came from a wealthy family but was chased out by her father and stepmother. Song Ci also had a stepsister, so her life was most likely miserable. Without any money or power, she entered the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, Song Ci’s acting skills were bad and she was only featured in two films so far. Hence, her company was unwilling to provide any support.
