Chapter 960: Must Not Come over
“Scram! Get lost! Don’t hang around in front of me.” Huo Xiao rolled his eyes at him in disdain. However, when he looked at Ling Sheng, he smiled extremely happily. “My dear granddaughter, come here.”
Huo Ci choked on a mouthful of blood. Look at the difference in treatment. Is he that unlikeable? Enough with the double standards!
When Ling Sheng ran out to the living room after hanging up the photos, she saw her father sitting on the sofa, reading a script. There were more than ten books on the sofa, and she was envious. She walked over with a beaming smile and ma.s.saged his shoulders and back. “Dad, do you have a good script?”
Huo Ci glanced at her in disdain. “The scripts in my hands are all good.”
“Let me take a look then.” Ling Sheng reached out to take a script, but her father slapped them away.
Huo Ci said, “Get lost. Who gave you permission to touch them? Hurry up and go do your questions. The college entrance examination is in less than four months. If you screw up, see how I’ll deal with you.”
Ling Sheng looked at the scripts bitterly, her face full of yearning. G.o.d knew that she should be a workaholic. She absolutely could not do without a job. During this period of time, she had been trapped at home every day. Other than studying, she had been studying. She had already done a thick stack of exam papers.
Besides, she realized that other than math being the most difficult subject for her, the questions for the rest of the subjects were really easy for her. She had originally underestimated her ability and even set aside two months to focus on the college entrance examination.
From the looks of it, one month was already enough. She couldn’t possibly stay at home without doing anything for the remaining three months!
Appeal to him with affection and make him understand with reason. She told her father everything she could say and tried to discuss with him, bearing an aggrieved expression. “Dad, I really can do it. It was just an accident at the gala previously. I’m not that unlucky either to end up in an accident every time, right?”
“I said, get lost!” Huo Ci glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He looked at her stomach and started wondering. “When you take the college entrance exam, will your stomach turn into a ball by then? Can pregnant women enter the exam hall?”
“There’s no rule against pregnant women entering the exam hall.” Ling Sheng felt a lump of blood in her throat. Pregnant, my a*s. Since there’s no other way out, can I come clean with the truth now?
Huo Ci nodded and clicked his tongue. “Hmm, that thing in your stomach will probably become the youngest examinee at that time.”
Ling Sheng coughed out another mouthful of blood. Dad, can you not ask this question so seriously?
She privately thought that she wouldn’t be able to wait until the college entrance examination at all. In another two months, if her stomach didn’t swell up, she would be exposed! She couldn’t possibly stuff something around her stomach like a palace drama!
Since Huo Ci wouldn’t let her read the scripts, Ling Sheng whined while dawdling at the side. Unable to chase her away, he threw her a script directly and even reminded her kindly, “I’ll let you have a look. It’s not yours.”
“Thank you, Dad.” When Ling Sheng took the script, her heart was already flying, and her eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears of excitement. After half a month, she had finally touched a script again. It felt even dearer than seeing her family members!
The movie’s t.i.tle was ‘Brilliant’, and it was an inspirational film adapted from real characters. The main character, Zhen Baozhu, was born in the 1980s and grew up as an ordinary handicapped girl in a village in the 1990s.
She liked to run and jump. She ran faster than anyone else, and jumped high and far. In the end, through hard work, she became a first-cla.s.s athlete in the country’s track and field and became the first Grand Slam athlete in the history of China. She also filled in the gaps in China’s international athletics compet.i.tions.
The script was very simple, but it was very pa.s.sionate and inspirational. It was a story about an ugly duckling who had eventually changed her fate and grown into a white swan through her own efforts.
It was obviously a very simple central theme of the story, a very ordinary plot. However, the more ordinary it was, the more relatable it felt, as though the story and characters were right by the audience’s side. It was easier for one to be moved.
Huo Ci glanced sideways at the brat, who was crying one moment and laughing at other times, as she read the script. He knew that she would definitely like this script very much. Actually, this script had been prepared for her. However, she would not be able to make it in time for the commencement of the casting this year.
If she did not use a subst.i.tute in this film, she would have to put in too much effort and sweat. She could not take the intensity of the training now either.
Even if she were to try jumping once now, that woman would be extremely worried, let alone doing sports. It was as though the child would disappear if she moved a little. Forget about asking her for permission to film a movie.
“Father, this Zhen Baozhu is Flying Woman He Sha. She’s my idol. No, I have to act in this film no matter what. I can’t let others ruin my idol’s lofty image.” Ling Sheng hugged the script and refused to let go.
He Sha had been the G.o.ddess of the nation when China had organized the first Olympic Games back then. The original host of this body had still been young at the time, but that year, the Olympics had been very popular. It could be said that the Olympics had been a national movement.
That year, the level of patriotism was also extremely high. The whole country was united and worked hard to organize the Olympics well. On the home ground, they had to win more gold medals and bring glory to the country.
China had always been weak in track and field compet.i.tions to begin with. Actually, it was not only the Chinese, but it was also related to the human race. This was something that couldn’t be changed. Ever since the Olympics had been held tens of times, the number of Asian athletes who had won the championships could be counted on one hand.
He Sha was a handicapped person. She had gotten electrocuted when she was three years old. Although she was saved, her hands were gone. Both hands had been amputated. She had been amputated from her elbow down on her left arm and above the elbow on her right side.
That year, she had been the representative of the national track and field team. She had entered the national team with a disabled body and partic.i.p.ated in a fitness race for able-bodied individuals. For her, she had to work a thousand times harder than able-bodied.
That year, she won the six grand slam running events and became a national hero. The whole of China was proud of her, and the entire world was cheering for her.
Anyone who had experienced that era would have a deep impression of this. As long as the actors were right, this movie would definitely explode in popularity. After all, back then, everyone had been shouting that they owed Teacher He Sha an Olympic ticket. Who would not want to witness that legend on the spot?
Huo Ci let out a disdainful snort. “In your dreams. This movie will start filming this year, and they’re already choosing the actors. Moreover, Teacher He Sha will personally guide and train them. You can’t make it.”
Ling Sheng wept, her heart aching terribly. Could she self-destruct right now? “Dad, I can do it. I definitely can. My body is very strong. Can you bear to see me let such a good script slip by and regret it for the rest of my life?”
“How dare you cry in front of me? Why didn’t you think about it when you were f*cking fooling around with Third Master Jun?” Huo Ci got annoyed. He pointed at her stomach and sneered. “Did I tell you to get pregnant? Scram!”
Ling Sheng felt bitter in her heart as she listened to her father’s irritable cursing. She was so close to self-destruction when her phone rang now of all timings. It was Song Yiyan.
“Sheng Sheng, can I go over to play with you?” Song Yiyan’s soft voice .
“No, don’t come and find me. You must not come over.” Ling Sheng had not filmed “Top Scholar” and had even gotten ‘pregnant’ because of her and Si Chengluo. She did not dare to come into contact with them at all.
“But I’m already downstairs!” Song Yiyan looked up at the condominium.
“I’m not at home now! Go home!” Ling Sheng said.
“But the Third Master said you’re at home now!” Song Yiyan took a look at the handsome man walking beside her and still asked, “Third Master, Sheng Sheng said she’s not at home now.”
Upon hearing Little White Bunny’s voice, Ling Sheng’s face turned black.
When Song Yiyan came over, she b.u.mped into Jun Shiyan downstairs and excitedly invited him to go up to find Ling Sheng.
Ling Sheng felt terrible. She had already imagined countless possibilities. She had a feeling that something would definitely go wrong if Little White Bunny came!
