“Uncle Lu, don’t be discouraged.” Gu Chu didn’t know how to comfort the poor director, so she gave him another red strawberry.
Jiang Cheng suggested, “do another audition.”
Jiang Cheng had been quite busy recently, but no matter how busy he was, he would find time to look for Lu Shanhe. Looking at Lu Shanhe who was becoming thinner and thinner, Jiang Cheng secretly frowned.
Jiang Cheng knew very well that Lu Shanhe was a picky person. It was too difficult to find a suitable actress in a short period of time.
However, the production team could not stop working. Once they stopped working, there would be a huge loss of money.
Cao Yuezhi’s move was really too ruthless! It almost destroyed Lu Shanhe’s future…
“The heavens want to destroy me.” Lu Shanhe’s face was gloomy and he could not recover, “The heavens heard my prayers and let Manxi return to my side, but they don’t want me to continue being a director. But I haven’t married Manxi yet. The wish I made at the temple was to marry Manxi…”
Gu Chu touched the bridge of her nose. With her father around, Uncle Lu’s wish was unlikely to come true in this lifetime.
Jiang Cheng’s expression was not too good.
Fortunately, Gu Manxi was still outside. Otherwise, he did not know how she would feel when she heard these words.
Lu Shanhe muttered, “This is fate… sigh. Forget it, I should stop work and slowly find the second female lead. If I lose money, so be it…”
Gu Chu stole a glance at Jiang Cheng. This best actor was constantly suppressing his emotions. Gu Chu shook her head secretly. Jiang Cheng was a pitiful person…
Gu Chu found an excuse to sneak out of the room and planned to look for Gu Manxi. Let Mommy comfort the pitiful Director Lu. At least let him drink less and take care of his health.
There were not many people in the film crew, which had always been lively.
The props team was checking the equipment, and the extras had slipped away. The staff was arranging the venue, and it looked bleak from afar.
Gu Chu strolled around, but she did not find Gu Manxi. Instead, she bumped into an unexpected person at the door of the film crew — Zhao Manshi.
Gu Chu stopped, narrowed her eyes, and was on guard.
What was this woman doing here?
Could it be that she had heard that the production team was going to stop, so she had come here to mock them?
This was in line with Zhao Manshi’s character in the original novel. In the original novel, Zhao Manshi was a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family. She was proud, stingy, sarcastic, and scheming. She had always looked down on her own sister, every time they met, she would mock her. She had even teamed up with her mother, Tang Chunxiu, to push Gu Manxi into the abyss of eternal damnation.
Gu Chu did not like this woman.
Zhao Manshi had dressed up meticulously today. She wore a beautiful and elegant beige cheongsam. Her long hair was tied up with a silver clip. She wore high heels and carried a limited-edition perfume bag. She stood in the crowd, her graceful figure immediately attracted the attention of many men.
“Oh, isn’t this my little niece, Chuchu?” Zhao Manshi’s lips curved slightly. “Where’s my sister? Where is she?”
Gu Chu replied coldly, “I don’t know.”
Zhao Manshi clicked her tongue. “What a rude child. I’ll go find her myself. I don’t need you to lead the way. The road is dangerous, so don’t get too close to it. You might get hit.”
Gu Chu put on a fake smile. “Okay.”
Zhao Manshi carried her purse and walked elegantly into the film crew in her high heels. There were not many people in the set, and they were scattered around. Zhao Manshi’s beautiful eyes scanned the studio, but she could not find Gu Manxi. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
Two workers carrying equipment passed by Zhao Manshi.
One of the men said, “Damn it, it’s all Gu Manxi’s fault. She went against that movie queen for no reason and she ran away, causing us to lose our jobs.”
