Chapter 554: Chapter 554
The phone connected to the car’s Bluetooth, and the agent’s voice started playing through the luxurious sound system of the high-end car without any dead angles.
“Did you really say that to her? Gao Han, have you lost your mind? We finally got that investnt, don’t you know that the company’s higher-ups want to use this film to screw you over?”
“I know.”
“Don’t you know that there isn’t much ti left on your studio’s agreent with the company? If this film flops at the box office or can’t even be shot, they win, and you’ll have to sell yourself to the company for another five years!”
“I know.”
“Don’t you know that at that ti, all the comrcial films and variety shows you hate the most will be piled up waiting for you?”
“I know.”
“You know nothing! If you knew, you would understand how tily Bo Jingruo is for you right now! Her brother-in-law… Song Boyuan is her brother-in-law, right?”
“Yes.”
“Her brother-in-law doesn’t have any demands, aside from funding. He doesn’t plan to ddle with your film’s the, how you should shoot it, or where you want to shoot at all. He only has one request, to include his young sister-in-law. She is clean and clear of any scandals, has a positive public image, and her acting is passable.”
The agent, trembling with anger, said, “It’s like a giant pie falling from the sky when you’re starving, smacking you right on the forehead, Gao Han, and then… are you really complaining that the pie isn’t in your favorite flavor?!”
Gao Han was amused by his agent’s frantic yet vivid taphor, curling his lips slightly.
“Say sothing! You had the nerve to send her to audition, have the nerve to say sothing!” the agent shouted angrily. “Are you laughing?!”
Gao Han replied with a laugh in his voice, “Ah, yes.”
“You’re still laughing! What are you thinking! Why do you dislike Bo Jingruo so much?”
“I don’t dislike her.”
“You don’t dislike her and you send her to audition?”
“It’s fun,” Gao Han chuckled lowly. “She said she’s my fan, but she really has a bad temper.”
But after lashing out, she instantly backed down, like… a rabbit that bites when cornered. It bites, but it’s still just a rabbit at heart.
“Fun, my ass! If her brother-in-law pulls his investnt, I’ll hang myself at your front door!” the agent said nacingly.
“Don’t say it so creepily.” Gao Han pulled the car to a stop at a traffic light. “It’s not like you said, that I’m complaining about the pie falling from the sky not being in my favorite flavor. I just…”
“Just? Bored? Owing?”
Gao Han chuckled lowly, “… just want to try a different way to eat it.”
“He… pfft! Bo Jingruo really must be blind to have a crush on soone with such a bad taste like you.” Although the agent was spitting on him, the tone was much better than before, and knowing that Gao Han wasn’t deliberately sabotaging things, the agent was much relieved.
Su Lu and Jing Ruo returned to the hospital room, and Jing Qiao smiled at Jing Ruo, “Ruo Ruo, feeling a bit happier now?”
Jing Ruo knew it was all her sister and brother-in-law’s kindness, and she nodded imdiately, “Much happier.”
“That’s good.” Jing Qiao reached out and gently touched Jing Ruo’s face. “Put a cold compress on your eyes later, they are so swollen. It wouldn’t be good if your fans saw this.”
Seeing Jing Qiao’s smile due to Jing Ruo’s happiness, Song Boyuan felt good. “I’ll also make sure to keep an eye on the additional investnt.”
“Thank you, brother-in-law.” Jing Ruo thought about it and decided not to tell Jing Qiao and Song Boyuan that she had to audition again.
In fact, she decided not to talk about her own issues anymore, after all, today was their eldest brother’s discharge day.
The discharge procedure was all completed, and the group left the hospital.
Yang Accompanying naturally followed as well, since Song Boyuan had signed a one-year contract with him when he had initially paid, specifically to take care of Jing Su’s everyday life.
They left the hospital in a seven-seat business vehicle.
Song Boyuan had booked a private room in a restaurant. Although it was not quite appropriate to call it a welco party for Jing Su’s discharge, it still counted as… maybe dispelling so bad luck?
After all, getting discharged from the hospital was worth celebrating.
Since the restaurant was owned by Zhao Tong’s family, Zhao Tong and Zhao Xiaole conveniently ca together.
It was called bringing him along because he truly was squeezed in, with Zhao Xiaole giggling as his uncle carried him in, tucked under his armpit.
“You really know how to make a racket,” Su Lu said helplessly.
Zhao Tong’s face was all smiles, “I’m just playing with him!”
“You just love to pick on your little uncle,” Su Lu said to Zhao Xiaole.
Zhao Xiaole’s voice was crisp, “My little uncle loves !”
“Of course, of course,” Su Lu nodded repeatedly, “then you go with your little uncle, and it’ll just be Ah Shen and from now on.”
“No way! That won’t do,” Zhao Xiaole had quite the right mindset, “Playing with little uncle is fine, but living should still be with you and Ah Shen.”
Zhao Tong laughed so hard it hurt, “Look at this, Su Lu, look at this! What species of ‘sea king’ is your son? Listen to this rascal’s tone. What does it an, ‘Zhao Tong is fine for playing, but not good enough to live with’?”
Su Lu also laughed so hard her stomach hurt.
Everyone present couldn’t help but show a smile on their faces. Having a child at ho indeed ans more trouble and more worries, but the presence truly brings a different atmosphere.
It was as if all the gloom could lt away in his crisp laughter.
“Uncle!” Zhao Xiaole then noticed Jing Su, “You’re discharged!”
“Yes, I’m discharged,” Jing Su smiled.
Then there was the sound of footsteps pitter-pattering closer, followed by the feeling of a soft, little body climbing onto his leg.
Jing Su reached out to steady him, “What’s up, little monkey?”
Before Jing Su could react, Zhao Xiaole pulled down his sunglasses a few tis.
Jing Su was worried and couldn’t help but think to cover up, mainly afraid that his wounds, being fierce, might frighten the child.
But before he could cover up, he felt a gentle, soft breeze brush across his eyes and brows.
He heard the child exhaling a breath slling faintly of milk.
“Hoo… hoo…” As Zhao Xiaole breathed out, he said, “Uncle, I’m blowing on it for you, blowing on it will make it stop hurting, and it will heal quickly. Hoo… hoo…”
Since the incident, Jing Su had been very calm, so calm as if he could accept all the worst possibilities, and never felt particularly sad.
But at that mont, he was moved by the child’s milky breath… His eyes beca hot and he felt a surge of tears.
“Little Lebao, don’t bother your uncle too much, or he might start crying,” Jing Su whispered.
“No, Uncle, you’re being brave,” Zhao Xiaole leaned in and planted a kiss on Jing Su’s face.
