After hearing s.h.i.+ Lu enter the room and close the door, s.h.i.+ Xiao said calmly, You used Shenglan Venture Investment Company to invest in the Tan familys new company. Has the funds started to flow back yet?

Yuan Shu wasnt surprised to hear him suddenly ask about this. She knew that this matter couldnt be hidden from s.h.i.+ Xiao at all. Back then, she had asked s.h.i.+ Lu for money because she didnt have it and didnt want to use s.h.i.+ Xiaos money.

Yuan Shu replied frankly, A small portion has already been returned.

s.h.i.+ Xiao placed a piece of boiled meat on the plate as he asked, Why didnt you just swipe a million yuan from my card?

Yuan Shu froze for a moment, since she didnt expect him to ask about this. Yuan Shu didnt explain the real reason. She couldnt tell s.h.i.+ Xiao that she didnt want to use her ex-husbands money because she knew that she was about to get a divorce in a month, right?

Yuan Shu replied, Because s.h.i.+ Lu had it, 1 borrowed it from him.

s.h.i.+ Xiao didnt say anything else. After dinner, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went upstairs to his room.

When he returned to his room and turned on his cell phone, s.h.i.+ Xiao saw the message Lin Xi had sent him. [Have your injuries healed?]

s.h.i.+ Xiao touched the wound on his body. When his finger touched the outline of the scab, he discovered that it was almost healed.

[It healed.]

s.h.i.+ Xiao put down his phone after replying. As he looked out of the window at the dark sky, he felt a sense of disappointment. From the moment he came back and saw her until now, Yuan Shu had never asked about his injuries. What a heartless woman.

In the Jiang familys mansion.

Jiang Chen sat on the European-style leather sofa as he answered a call. The person who called him was w.a.n.g Shen.

Boss, the matter has been arranged. Theyll come over for an audition tomorrow afternoon.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen gripped the phone so tightly that his fingertips turned pale. He had waited for this day for too long.

The scene that Yuan Shu was going to try out today was that of the female lead, Tang Yi, studying in the library of the military camp with the literary scholar, Chen Zhou. However, because the literary scholar and the teacher had different opinions about a sentence, they had an argument. The female lead didnt agree with the teacher, so she helped the literary scholar.

s.h.i.+ Lu wasnt in todays scene, but Yuan Shu had asked s.h.i.+ Lu to accompany her because if Yuan Shus emotions werent in place during the audition, s.h.i.+ Lu might be able to help her get into character faster.

Recently, Yuan Shu had become very fond of casual clothes. Every day, she would wear a simple T-s.h.i.+rt and jeans. This was the greatest advantage of modern times compared to ancient times. There was no need for complicated clothes. It was more convenient for her to exercise and she wouldnt be too hot in the summer.

After Yuan Shu tied her hair into a bun, she went to the production team with s.h.i.+ Xiao and s.h.i.+ Lu.

The male actor who was originally chosen to play the literary scholar didnt partic.i.p.ate because of his schedule, but the filming time had already been set. Time was tight and the workload was heavy, so it was a little too late to find another actor. Therefore, w.a.n.g Shen decided to let Mu Zhou play the role.

Yuan Shu was in the dressing room getting the makeup artist to fix her makeup, while s.h.i.+ Lu was lying on the sofa. Zhang Chao, as her manager, had to accompany her. He was ordering milk tea for everyone in the production team.

Yuan Shu even asked s.h.i.+ Lu, Music directors can also play roles?

s.h.i.+ Lu tapped the cell phone in his hand and said nonchalantly, Whats so strange about that? There are many executive directors who even act as the protagonist, not to mention that Mu Zhou is only a music director. However, its just an audition, yet Director w.a.n.g even has someone to fix his makeup and hair. Isnt that a little too much?

Yuan Shu smiled, but didnt say anything.

s.h.i.+ Lu was able to sit here and play with his phone now because s.h.i.+ Xiao suddenly received a call before he got out of the car and had something urgent to deal with, so he didnt follow them to the set in the end. This made s.h.i.+ Lu extremely happy.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. Yuan Shu was changing in the inner room, so Zhang Chao ran over to open the door. It was Mu Zhou, who had already had his makeup done.

Mu Zhou looked gentle, his skin was fairer than that of ordinary men, and his eyes were charming. He looked handsome in ancient style clothing.

Yuan Shu had just changed her clothes and came out when she met Mu Zhous gaze..
