“Big brother, is your home similar to the Dragon Place?”
Shocked, everyone turned to Zou Lixiang.
After everyone heard Fang Rui’s words, they were all shocked, and started giving Zou Lixiang strange looks.
With Lixiang’s mind blanked, her face showed open embarrassment, and her heart beat faster than before, causing a chill to run down her spine.
How did he know?
Did Fang Rui remember Lu Lu?
But LOu Bingqi confidently stated that the director was so busy, and even crew members couldn’t recognize who’s who. So how come he could recall a little girl he met for 10 minutes?
Letting Zou Xinrui replace Lu Lu in the audition shouldn’t expose her.
But now…
With everyone staring at her, she desperately looked around looking for Lou Bingqi for an explanation.
But Luo Bingqi,who realized that something was amiss, quickly turned and left.
Zou Lixiang now had no valid explanation. She just wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.
Her eyes couldn’t meet Director Fang’s, and her mouth turned dry.
With the tension brewed in the room, and no one dared to utter a word with fear of being dragged into the situation. Everyone just resorted to peaking looks at Director Fang and Zou Lixiang.
Heck, even children like Lu Lu and Zou Xinrui knew something was off.
Lu Lu has never seen such strong emotions in one place. She clinged and hid behind her brother’s leg. Only half of her head was shown to the small crowd.
Song He’s baggy pants legs were tightly wrapped onto his leg. Normally, he would be furious if any other child did this to him, but he didn’t get mad today.
He could clearly feel Lu Lu’s fear and tension.
How horrible must the parents be for a child to hide behind a stranger for safety?
Briefly reminded of his childhood, Song He’s eyes revealed a complicated look.
Some people don’t deserve to be parents at all.
Song He patted Lu Lu’s shoulder.
Lu Lu felt relieved with her brother’s touch.
Hmph, she’s not afraid of this evil woman. She has her brother to protect her.
When other koi fish bullied her and took her food in the lake, her brother would always come and beat them up
Lu Lu raised her little head and looked at her brother.
Her brother was so nice to her.
If Lu Lu was afraid, she could hug Song He.. But in this situation, the equally scared Zou Xinrui could only go to her mom.
She reached out and clung to the edge of her mother’s clothes, her eyes full of fear.
Zou Lixiang looked down at her baby daughter.
Rui Rui is only four and a half years old this year. Usually, she was very sensible and would listen to her mom. Fortune tellers said that she has a bright future.
With so many well-known near, one slip up about her admitting that she wanted her daughter to audition instead of Lu Lu would end her carefully-molded facade.
Rui Rui’s reputation would be ruined, and her future could crumble.
Frientighed, Zou Lixiang knew she couldn’t ever admit it!
Without her statement, Luo Bingqi wouldn’t expose the situation, which meant that Fang Rui wouldn’t have any evidence.
It is highly unlikely that anyone would believe that if this information is revealed to media reporters. It would constitute them framing Zou Lixiang, and nobody would believe it.
Zou Lixiang’s confidence grew.
She looked at Fang Rui and said: “Director Fang, you can eat randomly, but you can’t spout nonsense! Lu Lu is also my daughter, my flesh and blood. How could I do such a thing?”
“Flesh and blood, huh?”
“You are a very popular director, Fang Rui, how could you blame someone with no proof?”
Zou Lixiang tried to call the director out and pin him as a fraud. But Fang Rui wasn’t stupid. He’s been in this industry for years, and has met all kinds of people.
Fang Rui wasn’t talking to this woman just to waste time. All he wanted to do was to find an actress for the role.
Lu Lu was the most qualified out of the hundreds of kids auditioned so far. He couldn’t wait to sign her off , but it needed consent from her parent or guardian.
But the woman in front of him certainly can’t.
Combined with the relationship between the three people, it’s not hard to know that with this woman’s attitude towards Lu Lu, she’s definitely her step mother.
Fang Rui said: “To find out the truth is very simple. Make a phone call to the kindergarten.”
Zou Lixiang’s face once again turned pale.
How did she forget the kindergarten?
The crew went to the kindergarten to select kids to audition. The class teacher would definitely know who was picked.
