Chapter 169: Secret
After Yi An praised Gu Weiwei he said to Li Xing’er,
“You were in the right state just now and you were fully able to grasp how to portray Lin Qingxue.”
“Thank you, Director.” Li Xing’er smiled and bowed to him as she said to herself inwardly, “It must have been herself who had found the right moment so that Mu Weiwei then followed right?’
Otherwise how would it be possible for Mu Weiwei to bring her into the right moment.
Gu Weiwei, having finished the performance, walked up to Yi An and whispered, “Director Yi, please don’t make me play a male role with a woman alright? It is truly… terrifying.”
Yi An smiled as he patted her shoulder. “Alright, everything is fine now, you can go back and rest.”
Gu Weiwei went to remove her makeup, got into the car and returned to the hotel with Jolin and her a.s.sistant.
Jolin gave her a bottle of water and said with a smile, “That must have been hard for you.”
He was worried that she would have been disgusted at performing a romantic scene with Li Xing’er.
Gu Weiwei drank the water, after she took it from him, and said, “Brother Jolin, if myself and Third Master practise acting or scenes together, you will allow it right?”
After all, her future would be affected, if the male and female lead roles could not play their roles well and the film ended up getting a terrible box office review.
Jolin thought of how Fu s.h.i.+yi had helped her the night before and nodded unwillingly.
“Just practising and nothing more.”
He understood that she would like to teach Third Master how to perform well as the male lead.
With Gu Weiwei’s demonstration as a reference, Fu s.h.i.+yi after performing two takes finally completed the scene.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already one in the morning.
The moment he entered the room, he received Fu Hanzheng’s long-distance phone call.
“Where is Weiwei?”
“I am not here to constantly keep an eye on your girlfriend! You can call her yourself if you want to find her.” Fu s.h.i.+yi collapsed onto the bed, feeling feeble.
He had become extremely tired after failing so many takes.
“The calls aren’t going through.” Fu Hanzheng said coldly.
Hearing the words, Fu s.h.i.+yi flipped over and sat up as he smiled sinisterly.
“Then give me 500 million yuan and I will help you to find your girlfriend.”
Fu Hanzheng’s tone chilled on the other side of the phone.
“You can refuse to find her, but in turn you will never be allowed to return to the capital anyways.”
Although they were hundreds of miles apart, Fu s.h.i.+yi still could feel the chill in his brother’s voice attacking him. He got up and knocked on Gu Weiwei’s door with tears in his eyes.
“My brother is on the phone.”
Gu Weiwei was not very pleased to have been woken up, so she took over the phone and asked, “What is it?”
“Why is the call not going through?” Fu Hanzheng asked. He didn’t use the same tone as he did when he was talking to Fu s.h.i.+yi a minute ago.
“I was too busy and the phone ran out of battery.” Gu Weiwei said.
She would never say that she switched off her phone on purpose.
“How is everything going?”
“All is well, everyone is taking great care of me.” Gu Weiwei started dozing off and her eyes were half open.
Fu Hanzheng could tell that she was very tired, and he also understood that he should not have called her so late at night.
But he just missed her way too much, that was why he asked Fu s.h.i.+yi to find her so that he could hear her voice.
“Sleep now, I will call you tomorrow, and never switch off your phone.”
“Okay.” Gu Weiwei answered lazily.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Fu s.h.i.+yi grabbed back the phone and said, “Brother, what about the money? Brother?!”
He got so annoyed that he almost smashed the phone. Couldn’t he just give him some familial help?
“Mu Weiwei, I saved you last night, why are you not paying me back by asking my brother to loan me money.”
“If you don’t leave now, I will call your brother and say that you want to spend the night with me, here, in my bedroom.”
Gu Weiwei threw herself onto the bed and was too lazy to keep her eyes open for another second.
“You…” Fu s.h.i.+yi was so annoyed that he stood by her bed and said, “What about I tell you a secret of my brother’s in exchange for you asking him to send me some money?”
“Not interested.” Gu Weiwei snorted.
Fu s.h.i.+yi smiled mystically and said, “Are you not interested in why my brother is so interested in you?”
