Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Drugged
Her scalp tingled. Xia Nuan looked at her phone and habitually clicked on the recording function. She patted her cheek lightly and took a deep breath. "Excuse me, is this Director Su Yuzhou?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Yuzhou was very proud, his slanted eyebrows almost flying into his temples. Humph, this must be Xia Nuan. After she knows who she is, she will definitely beg him to audition. Then he will make things a little difficult for her, and then she will reluctantly agree.
"I'm Su Yuzhou. Who are you and what's going on?"
Xia Nuan rubbed her temples. "Director Su, I'm sorry. This is Xia Nuan. I'm really sorry for not answering your call this afternoon. I usually don't answer calls from strangers. Please forgive me."
Su Yuzhou licked his lips and clicked his tongue. No, he was speechless. Shouldn't he beg himself? He tried to prompt, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
Xia Nuan pursed her lips, "Director Su wants to audition me and give me a role?"
Su Yuzhou nodded, holding a pear blossom fan, a satisfied smile on his lips, and took the bait, "I originally thought so, but now I think about it, maybe it's not so appropriate?"
Xia Nuan frowned. What did he mean? He answered the phone so quickly just to hear her apology. This great director really had time to waste. However, since the call had already been made, she would definitely fight for it. "Are you saying that I don't need to audition? Have you found the right actor?"
Su Yuzhou chuckled, "Not really."
Could it really be because she didn't answer any of the three calls in the afternoon? Xia Nuan sighed inwardly and said again in a sincere tone: "Director Su, I was indeed wrong about what happened this morning, but we can't just throw the whole thing away. You also know that it's impossible for me to know your phone number..."
After sincerely apologizing again and promising not to miss any calls from Su Yuzhou, Xia Nuan received his reply.
"Okay, it's not impossible to give you another chance." Su Yuzhou was obviously in a good mood.
After that, the phone was hung up.
No, she hadn't asked what role to audition for, how to audition, where to audition, and a bunch of questions, so how could she be hung up?
Xia Nuan's mouth twitched. She always felt that this great director's character was a bit unreliable, and she didn't know if what he just said was true.
Although Xia Nuan had heard of Su Yuzhou's name, she knew that she would never have the opportunity to star in a work directed by him, so she didn't pay attention to Su Yuzhou's movements. However, Xia Nuan had watched some of the movies he had directed.
She had also searched the Internet before, but the only news she got was that Su Yuzhou had not filmed any works for a year and a half. Could it be that he had run out of ideas? She didn't know any other information. She could only say that this person's confidentiality work was too good and did not give the outside world any chance to explore the secrets.
All I know is that this director has a weird personality, is very dictatorial, and has a sharp tongue. He often scolds actors, both male and female, to tears.
Half an hour later, Xia Nuan received Su Yuzhou's friend request. After accepting it, Su Yuzhou didn't send anything.
Xia Nuan waited in vain for an hour, then decided to ask:
Hello, Director Su, sorry to bother you. Could you please tell me when and where you would like me to audition?
The cell phone in his pants vibrated. Just as Su Yuzhou was about to take it out, he was slapped by his mother.
"Ever since I came back today, you've been staring at your phone. I was just about to sing Happy Birthday to your dad, but you answered the phone again. What could be more important than celebrating your dad's birthday? He only comes home two or three times in a year, and every time he does, it's always..."
Su Yuzhou didn't dare to breathe, nodding and smiling apologetically, "I was wrong, Mom. Don't worry, I definitely won't look at my phone anymore. Let's just talk and get together today. Can you please stop nagging?"
At around 9:30 in the evening, Xia Nuan finally received a call from Su Yuzhou.
Su Yuzhou started with a sentence, "When can you join the group?"
Xia Nuan was shocked. No, she hadn't even auditioned yet, so how did she get into the crew?
"A month later, I still have a variety show to finish."
"I see. I'm busy this week. Come see me next Monday and we'll sign the contract first to avoid any complications later." Su Yuzhou sighed. "I'll give you the address. Come directly to my company and join the crew as soon as that crappy variety show of yours is over."
Shouldn't she be worried about whether Su Yuzhou would change his mind?
Is the person speaking inside really Su Yuzhou? Could this be some new scam? With AI scams so popular lately, could someone have synthesized Su Yuzhou's voice to deceive me?
Why is the person on the other end not talking? Su Yuzhou called out a few times. Could it be that the signal is bad? But his network status was obviously good.
"Don't you want to sign the contract? Don't you want to act in my movie?" The voice was full of surprise.
"Are you really Director Su Yuzhou?"
"What do you mean?" Su Yuzhou's face was also full of question marks. How could he be anyone else besides Su Yuzhou?
"I'm just an 18th-tier actor, and my acting skills aren't that great. I don't understand why Director Su chose me."
Su Yuzhou laughed after hearing this, "Do you think I'm lying to you again?"
Su Yuzhou hung up the phone and made a video call.
The moment he saw Xia Nuan, Su Yuzhou couldn't help but think that she was indeed very suitable for the role.
"Okay, now you believe me, right? I can assure you that the movies I, Su Yuzhou, shoot won't be some low-quality ones. Remember to come see me on time next Monday."
——
She hasn't had much work recently. The variety show "Rural Cottage" has been off the air for four or five days, and the Lou Su incident on the Internet continues to ferment.
However, according to some of the plots she remembered, Ye Li spoke out two or three days later, and she, the cannon fodder female supporting role, was about to exit the stage.
Xia Nuan had been thinking about Su Yuzhou's movie when she realized that plot point 5 was still invisible. The system told Xia Nuan that she would be able to see it after the specified time.
She was a little confused, but didn't think much about it.
However, the only thing that can be related to the two protagonists is the day after tomorrow.
On Sunday, at 5 p.m.
Lou Su drove a black car to the gate of Xia Nuan Community.
Lou Su drove very slowly, and even on a street with few cars, his speed did not exceed 40.
But Xia Nuan remembered that according to Baidu Encyclopedia, he seemed to have a racing license.
Xia Nuan's eyes twitched.
Although we already know that Lou Su is either rich or noble, such an elegant Chinese-style building, and such a luxury house in a location like North City, is not something that can be bought by money.
The world of the rich was indeed beyond her imagination.
However, for a house this big, the family would need to hire dozens of people.
Xia Nuan suddenly thought of the scene she saw when she was a child: when the young master and young lady returned home, the door was opened and rows of servants stood there bowing.
But the Lou family is not that exaggerated.
The housekeeper had been standing there waiting for a long time, wearing a long silk gown that matched the surrounding scenery perfectly. If she and Lou Su beside her had not been dressed in modern clothes, Xia Nuan would have thought she had returned to the Republic of China era.
The housekeeper looked a little worried, "Master, you're a little late. The master has been waiting for more than half an hour."
Lou Su nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Wu, I understand."
I always feel that the rules here are very strict.
It is now half past six in the evening. Three people are sitting on the sofa in the living room: Lou Zhengqiang, Lou Su and Xia Nuan.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Lou Zhengqiang asked Lou Su about his well-being and really seemed to care about his son.
But Lou Su's reaction was very cold and there was no response. Lou Zhengqiang smiled awkwardly.
He smiled gently at Xia Nuan again.
Xia Nuan's information had already been handed to Lou Zhengqiang's desk by Liu Anlin.
A commoner, a graduate of a prestigious university, and with both parents orphaned, Xia Nuan wouldn't even be eligible to enter the Lou family in the past. But Lou Zhengqiang was very satisfied. Xia Nuan had a good look and figure, and being able to get into a top ten university in the country meant she had good brains and good genes.
More importantly, there is no context.
Lou Zhengqiang: "You must be Xia Nuan, right? You and Lou Su are indeed a good match. How long have you been dating?"
Xia Nuan was shocked. She thought Lou Su's father would be unfriendly to her, but now it seems that is not the case.
Xia Nuan thought of what Lou Su had instructed her to do before, and just smiled without saying a word.
Lou Su coldly retorted to him, "What does this have to do with you? What on earth do you want me to come here for today?"
There is no point in talking if you don't agree. Lou Zhengqiang and Lou Su didn't have a harmonious relationship to begin with, but Lou Su really didn't give him face like this, and Lou Zhengqiang's face immediately darkened.
But in that instant, Lou Zhengqiang's expression instantly returned to normal, "It's getting late. Don't leave after dinner. Sleep here for one night."
Lou Su sneered, his smile invisible in his eyes, "It seems that you are fine. Since you have come here, we will leave first."
Lou Su pulled Xia Nuan up and left.
Lou Zhengqiang was furious. "If you leave, then next month—"
Lou Su didn't even turn his head. The coldness in his tone startled Xia Nuan, "Lou Zhengqiang, if you don't keep your promise, I won't be threatened by you anymore."
"Stop!" Lou Zhengqiang slammed his crutch to the ground.
Lou Su saw the butler Wu Bo standing at the door and secretly gestured to him, indicating that they were surrounded by bodyguards outside and could not leave.
Lou Su stopped in his tracks.
Lou Zhengqiang smiled with satisfaction. "Let's go, let's go eat. I've already cleaned up the room for you. Miss Xia will live next to your bedroom."
It's not a room. Hearing this, Lou Su paused and relaxed a little. Maybe he was overthinking it.
Although Lou's restaurant is a typical Chinese style, the dinner is a typical Western meal.
But it is estimated that no one present paid attention to this dinner, even though the plating was extremely exquisite and gorgeous.
Xia Nuan gave a subjective evaluation and said that the taste was great, but a little too salty.
After dinner, Lou Su took Xia Nuan and left back to the room.
Before entering the room, Lou Su pointed to his phone.
As soon as Xia Nuan entered the house, Lou Su sent a message: Sorry, what happened tonight was beyond my expectations. Don’t sleep, we will leave in the middle of the night.
Xia Nuan's eyelashes trembled. This was just like a spy movie. And why did Lou Su look so familiar? But now was not the time to ask, so she replied with an "OK".
It was a magical day. Xia Nuan felt a headache. She didn't know if it was due to excitement or something else, but her fingers were trembling slightly and her heart was beating very fast.
As the night grew cooler, Xia Nuan began to feel inexplicably palpitating and her head grew increasingly dizzy.
[Plot Point 5: Dinner and Drinking Water at Lou's House (Completed)]
How come this plot point was completed without her having to do anything? Her consciousness gradually became blurred, her thoughts became scattered, and Xia Nuan slowly closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Lou Zhengqiang sat in the study, looked up at the time, a smile appeared on his lips, the medicine should have taken effect.
The door that Xia Nuan had locked after entering the room was now easily opened.
Liu Anlin walked into the house leisurely, as if it were his own room. His eyes swept across Xia Nuan's face, a hint of infatuation in his eyes. He smiled casually, a fleeting smile.
Liu Anlin picked up Xia Nuan by the waist and walked to the next room. The door was also opened and Lou Su was lying unconscious beside the bed.
Liu Anlin kicked Lou Su hard.
He hummed a little tune and gently put Xia Nuan on the bed. His fingers slid across her cheek. After lingering for a moment, he turned and left.
A key slipped onto the folds of Xia Nuan's skirt, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

My Husband Is Long Aotian (Through the Book)
[One-sentence introduction: I didn’t want to be a poor wife, but later I ascended the throne]
In his previous life, Shen Yaoguang, who had worked hard to become the general manager of a company, was in a car accident and was reborn as a 28-year-old girl waiting to be married in the family of an ancient country gentry.
After getting to know the surroundings and learning that he had traveled through a book, Shen Yaoguang was completely quit.
The male protagonist of Long Aotian, the future emperor, and currently a scholar, Qin Yungang, has just been chosen by her father and will marry him in a month.
Although he looks like a decent person and has a bright future now, he rebelled a year later.
She only wanted to live a peaceful life, so how could she be willing to marry an emperor who was bound to rebel and would have many concubines in the future? Not to mention that she was just a passing mention in the plot, "dying of illness" before ascending the throne to make way for other beauties.
——
But her father had set his sights on this son-in-law and she had no chance to resist.
On their wedding night, before the veil was lifted, Chen Yaoguang said to Qin Yun, "I know you had to marry me because of my father. Once this storm is over, we can get divorced."
A month passed, and they still hadn't divorced. Two months later, and they still hadn't divorced. Were all those promises we made so confidently back then just lies?
In the third month, Shen Yaoguang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Shouldn't we get a divorce?"
Qin Yun's lips curled slightly, "What are you talking about, my lady? We are newly married, and I, your husband, cannot bear to hear the word divorce."
Bah, you bastard.
Shen Yaoguang had anticipated this situation and fled with the money she had prepared. She had been wandering around for half a year and had fallen in love with a neighbor boy, and they were about to discuss marriage.
Qin Yun led a group of people to occupy this place.
Chen Yaoguang and his neighbor boy disguised themselves and prepared to escape to other refuge places again, but they were caught by Qin Yun himself at the city gate.
"Ma'am, where are you going?"
——
There was chaos and plundering and fighting.
Later, Chen Yaoguang stayed with Qin Yun through thick and thin, and never abandoned him, watching him grow from a scholar to a regional overlord, and then to an emperor above all others.
Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor and empress served together in the court, and were called the Two Saints.
Later, the queen ascended the throne.
【Small Theater】
One morning, Chen Yaoguang was absent from court due to some matters.
A minister risked his life to make a protest, which was bound to force Your Majesty to remove the two saints and restore the imperial throne.
The young general, a founding hero and a powerful figure, glared and snorted, his lips pressed tightly together, his hard face filled with coldness. "I think it's not possible."
The former number one scholar, now the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, held a sceptre in both hands. His face was handsome and gentle like jade, his long eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp edge appeared. "I also think it is not possible."
Standing on the dragon throne, Qin Yunhan lowered his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face, but his voice was smiling but it made people shudder for no reason, "My dear, please don't hit the wrong pillar."
【Highlight】
①The heroine is very smart and always super clear-headed. The hero falls in love first.
②Marriage first, love later, the male protagonist does not want to divorce for other reasons
③ There will be some people who only have one-way arrows for the heroine
