After waiting for a while, no message came back to Xu Zhaozhao.
It seems they've become enraged and aren't going to waste any more words; instead, they're trying to find out who leaked the information.
Of course, with his son in charge, it's estimated that even the outermost layer of the defense system wouldn't be able to be breached.
Boring.
I want to see more of Qin Yueling jumping up and down.
Xu Zhaozhao was relieved that her son hadn't been harmed by the waste materials.
Xu Zhaozhao's gaze returned to Gu Yulin. Perhaps she had just been frightened, as her little face was flushed.
"What are you looking at so intently? You even scared your mother."
Xu Zhaozhao patted his head to comfort him.
"N-nothing."
Gu Yulin said it was nothing while pressing the pillow tighter with her small hands.
It's unclear whether he was afraid Xu Zhaozhao would find out, or afraid Xu Zhaozhao wouldn't find out.
Her gaze fell on the pillow, and Gu Yulin's small hands clenched into fists in nervousness.
"Could it be... something that children shouldn't see?"
Gu Yulin's face turned even redder, and she quickly denied it, "I'm not like Mom, whose head is full of those bad things every day."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but looked at him with a hint of mockery.
After blurting it out, he panicked and quickly tried to cover it up: "I didn't mean to say that Mom is a bad thing..."
The voice grew weaker and weaker, lacking confidence.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Zhaozhao chuckled twice and reached out to pinch Gu Yulin's cheek.
Although I can't admit it in front of the child, she probably is a bad person.
"Mommy knows what 'Fish Baby' means now."
I don't plan to keep bringing this up.
Children also have privacy, and she believed that Gu Yulin would not lie to her.
Ding ding ding...
Her phone, which was lying to the side, rang. It showed an unknown number, so she swiped to answer.
"Hello, are you Ms. Xu Zhaozhao? We are from the crew of 'Crossing the River Moon'."
A clear, melodious female voice came from the receiver.
"It's me."
Xu Zhaozhao asked in confusion, "But I don't think I joined your production team?"
"That's right, although Actor Gu has already decided on you, our director still wants you to give it a try."
The woman on the other end added, quite seriously, "You came alone."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaozhao understood.
It turns out that Gu Qingyan personally selected her to be the female lead in the drama.
It seems the production team suspected she had no talent whatsoever and only got the role by relying on Gu Qingyan's connections.
Although this is also true, the powerful figure she's clinging to is indeed quite influential.
Having wasted so much time, Xu Zhaozhao had no idea how much of her current skill she could still perform at.
After pondering for a moment with her eyes lowered, she replied calmly, "Okay."
"We'll discuss the details with your agent. The director will be waiting for you at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Auditions at six in the morning—I've never seen anything like it before. It's obvious they were trying to make things difficult for her.
Xu Zhaozhao turned around and started throwing a tantrum at her son, "Baby, we have to get up at six tomorrow for the audition, that's so early!"
“Indeed.” Gu Yulin nodded, his little brows furrowing slightly. “Then I will wake Mom up tomorrow and make sure she is not late.”
"The baby is so good."
Xu Zhaozhao nuzzled Gu Yulin's forearm.
"Mom, go to sleep quickly, lack of sleep will affect your performance."
This can be described as hitting Xu Zhaozhao's weak spot, and Gu Yulin pushed her to wash up and go to bed.
Before going to bed, I glanced through the window at the broken peach tree trunk standing in the back garden.
That night, Xu Zhaozhao had a strange dream.
She returned to that stormy night, lying in Gu Qingyan's arms, as if she were in another dimension.
Early in the morning, as the thunderstorm that had lasted all day subsided, Gu Qingyan got up.
The scene in the dream shifted, and I was in the backyard of the old house. The peach tree, which had been proudly blooming in the blazing sun, had inexplicably become somewhat withered after a night of torrential rain.
Gu Ru took an axe and chopped the peach tree fiercely, revealing the white bark inside. Peach blossoms kept falling, as if expressing its pain.
A fierce yet powerful voice came from his mouth, "My grandson can't enter the entertainment industry! It's all your fault!"
"It's all your fault for giving birth to this monster!"
Gu Qingyan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushed up and snatched his axe, and the two began to fight.
A chaotic axe strikes without regard for the consequences.
Enraged, Gu Ru slashed at Gu Qingyan's arms, shoulders, and waist repeatedly...
Blood, so much blood, it's everywhere...
Xu Zhaozhao felt that everything in front of her was a blur of blood, which made her feel panicked.
Finally, Gu Qingyan collapsed to the ground, but the sharp axe did not spare him.
Gu Ru raised his axe and swung it fiercely at Gu Qingyan on the ground, shouting, "Monster—"
"don't want!"
"Mother!"
Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Yulin's voices echoed in the room at the same time.
She braced herself against the bed, her heart still pounding with excitement, her back covered in a light sweat, and she was breathing rapidly.
A cool sensation came over her face, and a cold tear slid down her cheek and disappeared into the fabric of her pajamas.
"Mom, it's all a dream, it's all fake."
Only then did Xu Zhaozhao notice Gu Yulin standing beside her. He held her cold hand, looking at her with worried eyes, eager to give her some warmth.
"Baby is here, and will always stay with Mommy."
No matter how he called, he couldn't wake Xu Zhaozhao from her nightmare; he could only helplessly watch her tears fall incessantly.
No, Mom, please don't let it recur...
The sky was already beginning to lighten. After a while, Xu Zhaozhao smiled and wiped away her tears. "I dreamt that all my money was stolen. I was so sad."
I turned on my phone and found it was already 5:30 in the morning.
"Oh no! I'm late!"
Xu Zhaozhao sprang out of bed, "Baby, Mommy's getting ready to go to the audition!"
Finally, at the last minute, I walked into the audition location they had sent me, only to find that I was the first number.
Time is life; she would have mailed it if she had been a minute later.
"Please come with me, auditionee number one."
Xu Zhaozhao immediately recognized that the person had called her yesterday.
He took the number and followed her inside.
Various producers were sitting in front of a long table, and there was also someone standing... Yu Yao?
"We meet again."
Yu Yao waved to her, smiling and revealing two small tiger teeth, "Sister Zhao Zhao."
