Chapter 27
Explanation
When Director Chen saw the drenched Yuan Shu, he hurriedly asked someone to buy her two sets of clothes. He also asked his assistant to bring Yuan Shu a cup of tea and let her rest for a moment. He was afraid that Yuan Shu would catch a cold, so he asked someone to bring a small blanket for Yuan Shu as well.
When Shi Lu came out after changing her clothes, he saw Yuan Shu wrapped in a thick blanket. The teacup in her hand was still emitting steam and there were many inquisitive gazes on her.
For some reason, Shi Lu suddenly felt unhappy. He strode forward and pulled Chen Sheng, who was still talking to Yuan Shu, up.
“Are we still filming or not? If we’re not filming, I’m going back to the hotel.” Shi Lu played a warlord in this movie, so the crew spent quite a while putting on his makeup and doing his hairstyle. With a military uniform and a cloak on, he looked murderous.
Director Chen nodded repeatedly when he heard him say that. It was rare for this young master to have a good temper today, so he had to follow his instructions quickly.
Yuan Shu sat on the chair beside him and watched as the entire production team got busy. She asked the bodyguards who came with her to go to the police station and say that they had found Shi Lu, so they could remove the news from the official website.
Yuan Yuan watched Shi Lu, who was engrossed in his work, and sighed with emotion. Then, she walked over to thank Yuan Shu, but she heard Yuan Shu chatting with the bodyguard.
“Madam, I have a question that I don’t understand. Why did you call the police first instead of using the Shi family’s power?”
Hearing this question, Yuan Shu was a little surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “How long have you been working for the Shi family?”
“It’s been five years, Madam.”
“Five years…” Yuan Shu lowered her head and looked at the cup while thinking about it.
“You’ve been with the Shi family for five years. Every time there’s a problem, your first reaction is to use the Shi family’s own power? Have you ever considered calling the police? Calling the police is every citizen’s legal right when they’re in danger. Not only can it help us provide clues, but their equipment might be even more useful at the critical moment. Moreover, isn’t it something that even elementary school students know about?”
The bodyguard was stunned. That seemed to be the case.
However, what she didn’t say was that the existence of the police was also a form of deterrence and protection. After all, Shi Xiao had already made many people set their sights on the Shi family. They were only waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the Shi family. If the Shi family relied on themselves, who knew if someone would take advantage of the situation? However, with the police interfering, everything would be different…
Yuan Shu put the cup in her hand aside and yawned.
“Have you bought the clothes? Help me book another hotel. I want to take a shower. Wearing wet clothes is really uncomfortable.”
Yuan Shu felt that the Shi family was really strange.
Shi Bin was like a gunpowder barrel. He wanted to fight over small matters, but he didn’t resist discipline. He even became more obedient after being beaten.
Shi Lu was carefree and didn’t value life very much, so he always wanted to challenge his limits.
Even the first reaction of the bodyguards when they encountered trouble was to look for their own people first, even if they would be punished for their incompetence.
Was the Shi family full of masochists?
Shi Lu stood in front of the camera while holding back his anger.
Why did he come back with Yuan Shu so obediently? She wasn’t his guardian, so why did he listen to her? No, he had to regain his ego.
Ever since Shi Lu debuted, he had never acted in a scene so seriously. Even when the director shouted “Cut”, he was still in character.
There was thunderous applause, but Shi Lu didn’t care and looked around for someone.
Yuan Yuan jogged forward to wipe Shi Lu’s sweat and said excitedly, “Brother Lu! Your acting is too good! You’re simply the military officer himself!”
“Where is she?” Shi Lu asked Yuan Yuan. He remembered that Yuan Yuan and Yuan Shu were standing together before the filming started.
“Who?” Yuan Yuan didn’t react for a moment and was still looking at Shi Lu in a daze.
“Yuan Shu!” Shi Lu was enraged by Yuan Yuan’s slow reaction and couldn’t help but raise his voice. In the end, this shout attracted the attention of more than half of the production team.
Shi Lu had always used an alias in the entertainment industry. He took his mother’s surname and changed his name to Shen Lu. Therefore, other than the director and Yuan Yuan, no one in the production team knew that he was a member of the Shi family. Now that they heard him call Yuan Shu by her name and how serious Shi Lu was when he acted just now, the people in the production team couldn’t help but make associations.
God, could Brother Lu be Yuan Shu’s plaything?
The Shi family’s couple both had an affair?
