Lu Gan and Song Yujin had gotten closer, but they only spent a short amount of time together. Song Yujin was definitely still more familiar with Song Ci. If Lu Gan were to go, it would not look good.
Of course, Song Ci was not trying to discredit Lu Gan or anything. It was simply the truth. If Song Ci did not go, Song Yujin might also feel abandoned.
Hence, Song Ci immediately looked for Director Zhao. On the way, she could vaguely hear someone shouting.
“Chu Yi, come over and help me…”
Song Ci stopped in her tracks and subconsciously looked in the voice’s direction. She spotted a tall man with broad shoulders. His figure was also very good. Clearly, he had been working out all year round.
‘Who is he? I don’t remember seeing him before. Is he a new staff member? Why does his name sound so familiar? This is so strange…’
Song Ci could not come up with a conclusion. Besides, her mind was preoccupied with Song Yujin. Thus, she quickly went to look for Director Zhao again.
Director Zhao listened to Song Ci’s request and asked in a surprised tone, “You live in this area?”
“That’s right.”
Song Ci nodded.
Director Zhao smiled and said, “Go ahead. There’s no need to be anxious. Come back once everything is settled.”
Director Zhao was really fond of Song Ci. He hoped nothing bad had happened.
“Is half a day enough? Why don’t you take a full day off? That way, you can spend some time with your family. I understand that being an actress is tough.”
Song Ci was touched by Director Zhao’s kindness! Half a day was enough to settle Song Yujin’s problem. However, she did not mind having a day off and agreed without any hesitation.
Xie Qian was looking for Song Ci with a script in his hand. He happened to run into Sun Qin, who was packing Song Ci’s things.
“Where’s Song Ci?”
Xie Qian asked curiously.
Sun Qin looked at him and said, “She took a leave of absence. Come again the day after tomorrow.”
Xie Qian was shocked.
“She took a leave of absence? What happened?”
It was rare for someone to take such a long leave during production.
Sun Qin answered, “Something happened to her family, but don’t worry. It’s no big deal.”
Xie Qian was relieved. He told the other cast members about this incident. Their practice sessions would be postponed.
Suddenly, all the cast members felt lonely!
They looked at each other and also decided to take a leave. This way, everyone could rest at the same time!
At this moment, the entire production team entered a relaxed mode.
Meanwhile, Song Ci rushed to Song Yujin’s school. It was already getting late. Wu Xiaonian had called her several times. Song Ci could only apologize and explain her situation. Despite that, Wu Xiaonian was very dissatisfied with her attitude.
Those who were involved in the fight had returned to their classroom. Only Song Yujin was left standing in the office as punishment.
Wu Xiaonian was twenty-eight years old and her outfit looked very formal. She frowned and said, “Your sister is too careless. Why is she not here yet?”
Song Yujin replied calmly, “She’s working.”
“All adults have work. This is not an excuse to neglect a child. How long are we supposed to wait for her?”
Song Yujin could not be bothered to talk anymore.
Wu Xiaonian looked at Song Yujin and continued, “Why won’t you apologize to Yu Nan? You’ll have to do it sooner or later. There’s no reason to waste time so unnecessarily.”
Song Yujin did not feel that he had done anything wrong. So, why should he apologize? Therefore, he just remained silent.
