Chapter 108

“You’re back?” Yu Yue wasn’t surprised at all.

With Chu Tianhao here, it was normal for her to stay.

“Yeah, she went into a room with the director. No idea what they’re talking about.”

Meanwhile, Su Hua was on a spending spree.

“It went through,” Su Hua stood up.

“Now I’m the largest investor in ‘Power Over the World.'”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a random task and earning 2,000 points.]

Director Luo didn’t dare to say much, nervously asking, “Is there a particular role you fancy, Miss Gu? I’ll arrange it for you.”

With the total investment in “Power Over the World” being only 30 million and she suddenly investing 20 million, it’s clear that the production can afford much more refined and better props and locations.

Although Director Luo had no idea where she got the money from, since she handed it over to him, she was now the financial sponsor to be treated well.

“I’m not acting. I’m just bored and wanted to invest.”

“Huh?” He had thought she invested because she wanted a good role.

The next moment, Director Luo understood Su Hua’s motive.

Su Hua smiled brightly, clutching her chest, and said, “But that Han Yu is really an eyesore. She scared my fragile heart.”

“I’ll replace her immediately!” Director Luo promised.

“Miss Gu won’t be frightened again.”

Su Hua nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, there’s nothing else. You go ahead and shoot. I’ll just look around.”

“Sure, sure.”

When the two of them came out, everyone’s eyes were on them.

Just half an hour ago, Su Hua had adamantly refused to work with idiots, yet now she was back. It was clear she had gone to plead with Director Luo.

Everyone despised Su Hua’s behavior.

“Director Luo, why is she back?” Han Yu, holding an ice pack to her face, pointed at Su Hua angrily.

“If you don’t get rid of her, I won’t act anymore.”

Han Yu was a third-tier actress playing the third female lead, with a significant amount of screen time.

Compared to Su Hua, who wasn’t even an 18th-tier star, her importance was obvious.

Everyone expected Director Luo to humiliate Su Hua and send her away, but the reality was a slap in the face.

Instead, Director Luo glared at Han Yu and angrily said, “If you won’t act, then get out! Do you think you’re that important? How dare you threaten me?”

“D-Director Luo.” Han Yu was stunned.

“Are you talking to the wrong person?”

“I’m talking to you, Han Yu! Get out of the crew!”

“Director Luo?” Han Yu couldn’t believe what she was hearing, her eyes filling with tears.

Director Luo wasn’t about to show any mercy, especially with the financial sponsor standing right behind him.

“Hurry up and pack your things, and get out of the crew.”

“Why?” Han Yu demanded loudly.

“You still have the nerve to ask why? How long did it take to shoot your scene yesterday? And again today, how long did it take?!”

Director Luo, guilty, didn’t dare say too much.

“Get lost, now! Everyone else, stop watching and get back to work. Prepare to shoot.”

Although everyone wanted to keep watching the drama, they obediently returned to work. They didn’t want to be kicked out by Director Luo.

In an instant, only Han Yu and Su Hua were left.

Han Yu glared at Su Hua with hatred, as if she wanted to tear her apart.

“Gu Hua, well played!” Han Yu spat out before turning and leaving.

Han Yu assumed that Director Luo’s change in attitude was because Su Hua had offered herself.

Su Hua didn’t care what others thought.

Once everyone left, her calm demeanor disappeared.

She quickly went inside, took out a mirror, and saw that half of her face was swollen, with traces of blood seeping out.

“Damn, this hurts like hell!”

“…” The system noted that the host’s image was deteriorating more and more.

Su Hua didn’t bother with ice.

After taking a few selfies with her phone, she bought medicine from the system store.

Once she applied the ointment, the burning pain was replaced with a cool sensation.

Su Hua didn’t stay long in the crew. The female lead’s supposedly hidden, complex glances didn’t escape Su Hua’s notice. If she stayed longer, the female lead would definitely cause trouble.

She didn’t have time to play games with the female lead now. She’d deal with it after finding Lu Yunche back in the capital.

Anyway, there will always be green hats.

#What to do when the host keeps secretly wanting to put a green hat on the male and female leads?#

Before boarding the plane, Su Hua sent the selfies she just took to her mother and then turned off her phone.

On the other side, mother Gu, who received the photos, was so shocked that she was heartbroken. She immediately called Su Hua, but it went straight to voicemail.

“Honey, something terrible happened!”

Gu Mingquan was in a meeting at his company when he received his wife’s call. He was startled.

“What happened?”

“Come home quickly. I can’t explain over the phone.”

Without another word, Gu Mingquan ended the meeting and rushed home.

“What happened?”

Mother Gu showed him the photos on her phone. “Look, she just sent me these pictures. Look at her face. Who knows who hit her?”

“Calm down,” Gu Mingquan said as he saw his wife on the verge of tears.

“Have you called Ah Zhou?”

“I did, but both their phones are off.”

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Ah Zhou wouldn’t turn off his phone.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Mingquan said, “Don’t worry. I’ll have someone check.”

Soon, they got the news.

“They’re on a plane back to the capital. It’s normal for their phones to be off.”

“But her face…” Mother Gu was still worried about her precious daughter’s face.

That was her only daughter.

She had never even spanked her, and now someone had beaten her up like this. How could she not be heartbroken?

“I’ll handle this.”

A glint of determination flashed in Gu Mingquan’s eyes.

He wouldn’t let anyone who dared to hit his daughter go unpunished.

After comforting mother Gu for a while, she finally calmed down.

“Don’t get upset anymore. Let her like who she likes. She went abroad and wasn’t around before, but now she’s back. How can she not have a home to return to? Oh, why is my life so hard?”

Gu Mingquan wanted his daughter to come home too, but when he thought about what she had done, he felt she needed to be taught a lesson. But after what happened today, he realized that while he could teach her a lesson, no one else should.

With that thought, Gu Mingquan relaxed a little.

“It’s not like I’m not letting her come home.”

Hearing that, mother Gu quickly said, “Then when she comes home, don’t argue with her.”

“If she doesn’t argue with me, I won’t argue with her.”

Ignoring her husband’s tough words, Mother Gu quickly got up and told the maid to buy Su Hua’s favorite foods.

When Su Hua got off the plane, she received over a dozen messages from her mother, all asking her to come home for dinner.

“Miss, are you going back to the apartment or…?”

“Home!”
