Wesley said, “Is it because you like your job here or because you like the men here? Hmph . Can you even call a man a man if he relies on a woman to look after him? You should not be so shortsighted . ”
“Father, how can you say that?” Abby started shouting .
Wesley responded, “Why can’t I say that? Leave with me now . ”
Wesley stretched his arm out to grab Abby .
Abby pushed her father’s hand away . “I’m not going . ”
Just then, behind her, Xue Yang pulled Abby’s hand .
Abby paused . Xue Yang subsequently pulled her behind him .
Xue Yang looked at the imposing brown-haired man in front of him . “Abby already said that she doesn’t want to go . ”
Wesley looked at Xue Yang and sneered . “So you’re the one who has been stopping Abby from leaving this place, right?”
Xue Yang looked at Wesley . “I’ve been stopping her? When did I ever stop her? It’s Abby who wants to live her own life . You people are the ones stopping her . ”
Wesley smiled grimly while looking at this audacious young man . “Let go of Abby . ”
“I won’t let her go . I can’t let you take her back and imprison her again . ”
Ha . He was really bold . He actually dared to say this .
He scoffed, “Get this person away from me . ”
The men who had retreated earlier came forward at his command . They immediately grabbed Xue Yang and were about to take him away .
“No, no…” Abby saw the two of them walking over . Putting aside the fact that they pushed Xue Yang aside directly, they were even going to hit him .
Usually, Xue Yang would not simply allow anyone to bully him . However, as his leg was still injured at the moment, a slight movement made his leg go limp from the pain .
Seeing that there were so many people here, Abby knew that Xue Yang was definitely no match for these professional bodyguards . Furthermore, Xue Yang was currently injured and she could not allow his condition to worsen .
Abby looked on anxiously . When she saw that the bodyguard was about to kick Xue Yang without paying any heed to his injury, she immediately threw herself at Xue Yang and formed a barrier in front of his body .
“Father, don’t be like this . I’ll go with you . I’ll go with you, alright?”
Wesley stopped in his tracks .
Xue Yang looked at Abby .
Abby turned around and smiled resignedly . “Recover from your injury first . ”
How could Xue Yang watch her leave just like this?
He held her hand and refused to let her leave . “Abby…”
Abby shook her head . She looked at him while biting her bottom lip . “Look after yourself . ”
She forcefully pushed Xue Yang’s hand away . She forced herself to turn her head away and did not look at Xue Yang again .
Wesley turned to glance at Xue Yang . He merely scoffed coldly and walked out along the corridor with Abby .
The people in the hospital looked on . Even Xue Yang could not say anything . What else could they say?
They could only speculate to themselves . The father had come looking for his daughter . Did the Wesley family not approve of their daughter’s relationship with Xue Yang?
It would be really strange if that were the case . Xue Yang was so handsome and was even a huge celebrity . Why did they disapprove of him?
But thinking about it carefully, the Wesley family was so wealthy . Of course, they did not care for celebrities .
One of the nurses saw that Xue Yang was still sitting on the ground . For a moment, she felt very bad for him . She quickly ran over to help Xue Yang up .
These wealthy families were way too much . They even treated such a nice boy so poorly .
Lin Che had just arrived at Mu Feiran’s house .
She was discussing with Mu Feiran the issues concerning the series of short films they were preparing to film .
At the moment, many actors had been selected for short films . Several of them were suitable actors from their company . They were still recruiting a few more . The script had more or less been finalized as well . But they had not decided on a director .
Selecting the director was a major affair too . A good director determined the pace of a television series .
But the problem was that no good director would come and direct a mini-series like this . But they did not dare to hire a bad director .
When the directors got the call from Lin Che’s company telling them about this mini-series, they immediately rejected the offer . They did not look upon the mini-series favorably at all .
The beginning was always difficult . They themselves knew that this was a pretty difficult matter .
Mu Feiran said, “We still have to take this slowly . You don’t have to get anxious . Looking after your body is the most important . ”
Lin Che said, “I can’t stay idle anyway . There’s nothing I can do even if I stay at home . ”
Mu Feiran said, “There are many things to deal with when it comes to these matters . It’s different from being an actress when you only have to act well . There’s an assortment of things you have to worry about when you produce a series . ”
“Yes . ” Lin Che scrolled through her contact list to see if there were any candidates for a director whom she could contact .
She called one of the directors first . He had directed a movie that she had acted in previously .
Seeing that it was Lin Che, of course, he answered the call very quickly .
Over the phone, he even exchanged formalities with her, saying, “Movie queen, why did you disappear right after getting an award? I was even wondering if you were going to retire after having made your mark and just rest at home with all your money . ”
Lin Che said, “I just wanted to move behind the scenes for some time . ”
“That’s such a pity . I’ve been directing a movie recently . It’s a huge production . I was about to say that you’re a very suitable candidate . ”
“No . ” Lin Che continued, “Since you’re so busy, I don’t think I can trouble you regarding this matter too . ”
“Oh . What’s up? Tell me first . ” They still had to show Lin Che respect .
Thus, Lin Che told him about the mini-series . However, she said, “I was thinking that since you have students everywhere, maybe you can introduce one or two suitable ones to me . ”
He chuckled and said, “Frankly, the director isn’t important when it comes to a mini-series like this . If I have time, I’ll help you ask around . But mini-series aren’t very trendy right now either . ”
Sure enough, he did not look upon it favorably too .
Lin Che thanked him and did not say anything more . Anyway, everyone had already made up their minds . They thought that their mini-series would definitely not amount to much .
Lin Che scrolled down the list and reached Nan Gongyu’s name .
Well, he definitely would not join the production . Why would a person as self-important as him film a mini-series that would lower his value?
However, she nevertheless called him with the intention of teasing him .
But Nan Gongyu answered her call very quickly .
“Movie queen, you’ve been wandering about outside for so long . Do you still remember us?”
Lin Che asked, “What’s going on now? Everyone’s calling me movie queen…”
“Of course . You didn’t appear anymore after getting the award . Everyone’s last impression of you is that you’re the movie queen . ”
Fine…
Lin Che said, “Hey, there’s this series . Are you interested?”
“What series? Are you going to film a television series?”
“Yes . ”
“You can film now?”
“Hehe . Sure . But I’m not the one acting in it . It’s a television series that I’m producing—a mini-series . The script is an adaptation of a web novel . We want to start filming, but we’re missing a director . I immediately thought of you . Of course, I must give you this chance to become famous . ”
Nan Gongyu chuckled and said, “Did you think of me because you couldn’t find anyone to take up the offer?”
Initially, Lin Che had simply been teasing him . She smiled sheepishly upon hearing that he even knew about this .
She did not expect Nan Gongyu to go silent for a moment before saying, “Send me the script so I can take a look at it . Anyway, I haven’t been doing anything recently either . ”
“What? Do you want to be a part of it? Hehe . That’s good, that’s good . I’ll send it to you . ”
