591 Tearing Off the Mask
Song Ci naturally agreed.
Seeing that Song Ci was still as obedient as ever, Song He was even more satisfied. “Don’t worry. As my only daughter now, all of mine will be yours in due time.”
“It’s okay.” Song Ci said a few words perfunctorily before hanging up the phone. After all, it was hers now, so what did it matter? She was currently shopping and could not break down now. She had to confront him face to face and see him fall in person. How else could she be happy? At the thought of this, Song Ci treated herself to some desserts before heading home.
Lu Gan knew that Song Ci was going to see Song He the next day and was immediately worried. “I’ll go with you.”
Song Ci did not refuse. “By the way, I’ve talked with Director Qian Wu. He promised to work with Sunshine Media on three more projects once this movie is done, but I’m not too sure about the contract details. I’ve asked Mi Xiu to help me draft the contract. You can take a look at it when the time comes. If there are no problems, I’ll work with Director Qian Wu.”
“Qian Wu?” Lu Gan had also just heard Song Ci mention this name. Last night, Song Ci had only briefly mentioned this matter.
Song Ci nodded. “That’s right. Why? You know him?”
“I know the name, but I’ve never met him before.” Lu Gan smiled.
Song Ci was confused. “Isn’t he just an unknown director?”
Lu Gan saw the confusion on Song Ci’s face and explained, “He’s worked with my brother before. Qian Wu comes from a wealthy family and is the heir of the Qian family.” Then, he suddenly thought of something. “I would’ve asked Tiantian to go with you if I’d known earlier it was him. They might even know each other. It would have been more convenient to talk.”
Song Ci knew that Tiantian was the daughter of a rich family. However, she was unwilling to inherit the family’s property and wanted to make a living on her own. He did not expect Qian Wu to be in the same situation. What a coincidence. She couldn’t help but sigh. “It seems his family isn’t too supportive of him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to my request for the sake of filming.”
Lu Gan leaned back in his chair and said, “Most families still hope for the son to inherit their business. Qian Wu’s dream of becoming a director and Tiantian’s dream of becoming an actress was obviously not in line with their parents’ expectations. It was normal that they did not support them. I heard from my brother that in order to break Qian Wu’s dream of becoming a director, the Qian family even found a female student to trap him, saying that he had slept with her… If it wasn’t for Qian Wu’s sudden high fever that day and not returning to the hotel, he might have been home now.”
Hearing this, Song Ci was shocked. She could not imagine why a parent would do this. They were willing to use unscrupulous means so his son would inherit the family business. It was incomprehensible. Would they not feel bad for slandering his son’s reputation? Would it not affect the family? She could not figure it out, nor did she want to think about it anymore. She only said, “If Little Suo and Yujin want to pursue their dreams in the future and don’t want to manage the family company, I will support them. Everyone has their own dreams, and as a parent, I should support and affirm them.”
Lu Gan nodded in agreement. He also looked down on the Qian family’s way of doing things. Though, it could only be said that the Qian family was as persistent as Qian Wu.
Song Ci looked at Lu Gan and suddenly said, “Aren’t you afraid that I made the wrong choice? If Qian Wu’s movie doesn’t do well, not only will we lose money, but it will also affect our reputation.”
Lu Gan found Song Ci, who was looking at him with her sparkling eyes, very cute. He hugged her and leaned her head against his. “I believe in my own judgment, and I find you extraordinary. So please have more confidence in yourself.”
Song Ci looked at Lu Gan affectionately as he said this, her eyes reflecting his appearance. Lu Gan lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. The two exchanged a long and long kiss.
The next day, Song Ci brought Lu Gan to Song He’s house. She could finally tear off her hypocritical mask. She stood at the entrance of the Song Family’s house and stared at the familiar yet strange villa in front of her. She sighed. Once, Song Ci and Kong Chuyun were ruthlessly driven out of this place and experienced many changes…
Song He had been busy with his divorce from Pang Xiaohui that he had not paid much attention to Lu Gan’s affairs. Now, Song Ci was standing in front of him with Lu Gan. He stared at Lu Gan’s leg in shock. “You’ve recovered?”
“Yes.” Lu Gan said calmly.
Song He was overjoyed. He patted Lu Gan’s shoulder. “That’s great. Why didn’t you tell me before? What blessings for our family. It’s good that you’re here today. Let’s get drunk tonight.”
