Huo Xiao’s temper was ignited, and he wanted Ling Sheng to return to the family immediately.
Huo Ci kept giving her looks.
“Grandpa, it would be better not to. I’m your granddaughter, so let’s get to know each other.” Ling Sheng smiled as her heart sank. “I don’t want others to say that I rely on my family to prove my capabilities.”
She wanted to cry.
Damn, she did not want to rely on her family.
She wanted to prove her capabilities.
She wanted to expose her identity as soon as possible. She had depended on the Huo Family and her father to obtain top-notch resources, thus making great progress and reaching the pinnacle of her life.
Although people said that they wanted to prove their capabilities, that was only superficial. Only someone with no background would say that.
There were fins to eat in a bird’s nest.
Who wanted to eat pickles every day?
However, she had promised her father not to expose her identity.
Plus, the person beside her kept leaving hints and threatening her.
“Exactly, Dad. Sheng Sheng’s right. She’s still young and she needs confirmation. Since she needs to improve, let her gain experience if she wants to. It’s not a big deal to rely on the success of one’s family.” Huo Ci finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This brat was indeed sensible!
“Shut up, your old man is speaking!” Huo Xiao growled before turning to look at Ling Sheng with a loving smile. “Sheng Sheng, do you really think so?”
Despite struggling internally, Ling Sheng smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, I think my father’s right.”
“Then tell grandpa what you want. Tell him what kind of movie you want to film and what kind of show you want to appear on. Grandpa will arrange it for you.” Huo Xiao patted her hand. “Don’t make yourself suffer, okay?”
Look at his good granddaughter! She knew how to improve!
“Thank you, grandpa.” Ling Sheng’s mouth was as sweet as honey as she said crisply, “You are the best.”
Huo Ci said with a smile, “Father, you don’t have to pay attention to her problems. I’ll make the right arrangements. Would I treat her poorly?”
Huo Xiao said, “Let’s see if you’d dare. I’d skin you alive!”
Huo Ci was speechless.
Ling Sheng smiled secretly.
Huo Ci was a golden bachelor. It was already troublesome enough that he suddenly had a daughter and a grandson.
It was definitely impossible for him to admit their existence and let the whole country know that he was a joke!
His years of reputation aside, even his brothers would laugh at him for 800 years.
…
Ling Sheng’s filming schedule for the next few days would end tomorrow. For the past few days, she had been in a beggar’s outfit and her hair had been messy.
When she was sitting on the ground, she looked even more like a young beggar.
Li Chuan took two coins and threw them in front of her. In a teasing tone, he said, “You can buy two cups of milk tea with today’s earnings.”
“Thank you very much.” Ling Sheng smiled as she looked up at him. “One round?”
After the duo nailed two scenes, it was Li Chuan’s turn to film. The director called him over.
Ling Sheng went to the washroom.
However, she had just walked past the corridor when someone suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her into a room on the side.
Bang!
Her back landed heavily on the wall.
The intense pain made her feel as though her organs had shifted instantly.
Before she could react, her throat was grabbed forcefully and she looked up to meet the man’s disgusted eyes.
“Ling Sheng, what exactly do you like about me?” There was a dark expression in Gu Shen’s eyes. His slender, fair fingers grasped the woman’s slender neck.

Her neck was so thin.
It felt a little warm to the touch.
It seemed as if he could break it with just one push.
