Chapter 271 - I'll Stay Here to Accompany You
Lu Qi became anxious, “Director Sun, don’t waste time for my sister. She—”
“Isn’t she your older sister? Why is it that as soon as you came, you’ve not said a single good thing about her?” Sun Yiwu raised his eyebrows.
Lu Qi stiffened, then laughed dryly, “How… how can I say anything in defense of her? She’s done something wrong, it’s something that cannot be denied.”
“Miss Lu, just wait over at the side first, we still have a few scenes to film,” Sun Yiwu said coldly.
Then the assistant director instantly went to find the actors.
Lu Qi could only wait at the side, as there were no chairs there for her to sit she could only stand.
After standing there for more than an hour, when the actors finally started to take a break to practice their lines, Lu Qi instantly went to find Sun Yiwu, “Director Sun, my older sister hasn’t come yet, she really can’t make it.”
“Why exactly can’t she make it?” Sun Yiwu looked at her, seeming to be smiling, but yet not smiling.
However, Lu Qi could not tell at all and was just thinking of taking over Lu Man’s place. “It’s not that she can’t make it, it’s just that she regrets agreeing to film. She feels that filming this movie is too much hard work and that it’s too dangerous, she’s scared of getting injured. After all, she had never acted before, it was just that initially she felt that acting seems quite good, but when it came to the real thing, she backed out.”
“Who are you talking about?” Lu Man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Qi.
Lu Qi turned around abruptly as if she had just seen a ghost, and saw Lu Man standing right behind her.
Han Zhuoli was even by Lu Man’s side!
Lu Qi could no longer differentiate what she should be shocked about first.
Should she be shocked as to why Lu Man was here or should she be shocked about why Han Zhuoli would follow Lu Man here!
“Why did you come?” Lu Qi shouted in shock, not caring to hide her lie anymore.
Lu Man looked like she was smiling but at the same time, it was like she was not smiling at all. “I’m in the film. Of course, I have to come. On the other hand, why are you here? Just now, you were saying things like I’m not coming, I got scared, what’s the meaning of that?”
“I…” Lu Qi was indeed very thick-skinned and instantly changed her stunned expression into a smile. “I’m here to visit you at work. Older sister, I knew that you were coming to film, so I especially came over to see you. Furthermore, you don’t have any experience with acting while I’ve acted for so many years already, I can help to give you tips.”
Lu Qi tugged Lu Man’s hand. “If you have anything you don’t know, you can feel free to ask me, there’s no need to be polite and since you don’t have experience with acting, I’ll just stay here so that I can teach you properly.”
Lu Qi’s schemes were very good, she could stay here to accompany Lu Man, and if Sun Yiwu felt that Lu Man really could not make it, then with her acting experience, comparing the two, he would definitely feel that she was much better.
At that time, it was very possible that he would directly use her to replace Lu Man.
Lu Man pulled out her hand from Lu Qi’s hand, her face unreadable. “There’s no need, the director is here, if there’s some issue with my acting, of course, the director will teach me. Unless you think that you are more qualified compared to Director Sun to teach people? And you know even more about how to act for this movie?”
“Of course not!” Lu Qi’s face changed, and she vehemently denied it, “Older sister, don’t randomly say things, I’ve never said that before!”
“Since it’s not true, then what’s the use of you staying here?” Lu Man said sarcastically.
“I’m staying here to keep you company,” Lu Qi forced herself to smile.
Lu Man smiled back. “Instead of staying here to keep me company, why don’t you go back to see your father and mother.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Qi said, unhappy, “Older sister, how could you say that? Isn’t my dad your dad as well? You say it like you don’t have any relationship with him, that’s too unfilial isn’t it!”
“Then you should quickly go back, your dad and mom are in the police station right now, they’re going to be detained for quite a while.”
