Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Nightmare (2)
“Yuezhi, I don’t blame you for the box office results this time. It’s all the director and screenwriter’s fault,” Wang Tiancheng said with a smile. “It’s just that I can’t afford to offend Mr. Tang. You should go over and apologize to him personally.”
Cao Yuezhi felt sad in her heart.
Apologize?
She’d have to apologize with her body.
Wang Tiancheng’s meaning was very clear. The investors had suffered heavy losses, and someone had to extinguish their anger. What gift was more valuable than the best actress?
“The company’s next highlight will be ‘Tales of Yu Lu.’ The plot will not be changed. You will definitely be able to redeem your reputation.” Wang Tiancheng threw out an olive branch.
Cao Yuezhi ultimately nodded and silently agreed.
The so-called stars in the entertainment industry were just toys of capitalists. They looked high and mighty, but in fact, they were all rotten time the core.
—
In the early morning, Cao Yuezhi walked out of a five-star hotel with a big coat covering her face and body. She got into the van.
As soon as she got into the van, Cao Yuezhi could not help but vomit.
The assistant quickly handed her hot water.
Cao Yuezhi endured the nausea and kept rinsing her mouth. It took her a long time to recover.
The little assistant carefully reminded her, “Miss Yuezhi, we have to go to Hengdian for the opening ceremony at ten in the morning. You should rest for two hours before you put on your makeup.” The little assistant looked at the bruises on Cao Yuechi’s neck and sighed in her heart.
Cao Yuezhi closed her eyes and nodded lightly.
The van drove very slowly to Hengdian. Cao Yuezhi got off the van tiredly. First, she went to Hengdian’s hotel to take a shower and wipe off all the disgusting marks on her body. Then, she asked the makeup artist to put on her makeup. Today was the opening ceremony of “Tales of Yu Lu”, and she wanted to attend it in style.
…
In Hengdian, another film crew.
Gu Chu and Song Chen came to visit Gu Manxi again.
Gu Chu had already started school, and the teachers and students in the school took good care of her. Many of her classmates were shocked when they found out that Gu Chu had actually acted in “The Return of Spring Breeze” for more than ten seconds. They held Gu Chu’s hand and asked her what was going on.
Ma Ling’er, the class beauty, personally made chocolates for Gu Chu. Gu Chu couldn’t finish them all by herself, so she packed them up and sent them to Mama.
“Uncle Song, Mama seems to be resting. Let’s be quiet.” Gu Chu pushed open the door of the lounge. Gu Manxi had just finished five hours of shooting and was very tired. She was sleeping in the lounge.
She was covered with a blanket.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her entire body was covered in cold sweat. She was mumbling in fear.
Song Chen was shocked and quickly touched Gu Manxi’s forehead. The temperature was on the high side.
Song Chen quickly said, “Chuchu, you stay here and watch Mommy. I’ll call the doctor! What the hell is Lisa doing! This manager is too incompetent!”
Song Chen hurriedly ran out to look for the doctor.
Gu Chu held her mother’s hand and anxiously called out, “Mommy? Are you awake?”
Gu Manxi was having a nightmare —
In the dream, she had returned to more than half a year ago. She and Chuchu had been brought back to the capital by Tang Chunxiu. Tang Chunxiu had given her the cup of drugged water. She threatened her with Chuchu and forced her to marry the fat and big-eared President Li.
PresidentLi was ugly. His eyes were dirty and sloppy, like a lump of greasy fat.
After Gu Manxi and President Li got married, this ugly man often forced himself on top of her. He smiled maliciously and did all kinds of dirty things.
She was tortured until she was covered in wounds and had nowhere to escape. Poor Chuchu also died in a kindergarten in the suburbs.
Later, when President Li found out that she actually had a five-year-old daughter, he immediately felt that her body was dirty and that he had been cuckolded. President Li tried every means to beat Gu Manxi. He tortured and humiliated her even more. Gu Manxi had new and old wounds on her body, her entire person looked withered and dispirited.
