The insult from Gu Yusheng was too much for Qin Zhi’ai, and not only was she upset about it, it also meant more trouble for her.
Days before, she had fled to the States to avoid him and prevent their situation from worsening.
Now, all the coincidences after her return had worked against her, and all her previous efforts were in vain.
What if Grandpa really came over to stay for a few days?
Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t help but massage the center of her forehead. She dared not think any further.
No matter what, she would need to think of a way to stay out of this like she had before.
Qin Zhi’ai pondered for a moment, removed her quilt, and got out of bed. She hasted to a stack of scripts at her dressing table, carried them over, flipping through and reading every single script on her bed.
Qin Zhi’ai studied them for the entire night. Finally, she discovered the perfect script.
The team was made up of a top-notch director, scriptwriter, male lead, and investment companies… Most importantly, the film shooting was planned to commence on the day after the next. However, the plan was stalled because the female lead, who was cast in the film, was involved in drug scandal news a few days before. Hence, the shoot might be forced to delay to a later date until a new female lead was found.
“Might” was a possibility, but it was definitely not set in stone, so there was a chance for her.
Moreover, the film was getting attention due to the female lead, who was addicted to drugs. If Qin Zhi’ai had proposed to take on the script, Zhou Jing, known for being good with numbers, wouldn’t object to it.
As long as Qin Zhi’ai could participate in this shooting, the initial date for the film shooting would be able to continue as planned, and she could leave Beijing for a period of time in the name of work.
As she thought of it, her eyes were covered in a film of sadness.
She had used to dream of getting close to Gu Yusheng when she was in love with him, but she had every chance to be close to him now, and all she could think of were ways to stay away from him.
Perhaps they weren’t meant for each other, after all.
She sank into her thoughts for a moment, before she sent a few messages to Zhou Jing on her phone.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t sleep well the whole night. She was awakened by the buzzing sound of her handphone at seven o’clock.
It was a message from Zhou Jing.
Just like she thought, Zhou Jing agreed to her proposal.
She was always efficient in her work. At ten o’clock, Zhou Jing signed the contract with the filmmaker.
Two hours later, Qin Zhi’ai went to the Gu Mansion, then left for the airport at two in the afternoon.
After her trip to the states, Qin Zhi’ai stayed in Beijing for a day and a night, and now she was leaving Beijing again to avoid Gu Yusheng.
–
The show Qin Zhi’ai had signed on for took her two and a half months at the Hengdian World Studio to complete filming.
After the crew ended their wrap party, Qin Zhi’ai, Zhou Jing, and the rest of the staff took the afternoon flight back to Beijing at three.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t go home right after she landed. She got dinner outside before asking the driver to send her back to Gu Yusheng’s house in the minivan.
