Chapter 169 - Wire

It was hard to guess.

Soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the house. It was Zhang Qi who had arrived with the ice cream.

Gu Chu noticed that Ye Qianqian, who was originally unkempt and had her legs raised high, raised her head and puffed out her chest in a second. She put down her legs and put them together with a smile on her face.

She had changed from a bad girl image to a good student.

“Isn’t this Miss Ye? Long time no see. Hello, hello.” Zhang Qi passed the ice cream to Gu Chu, took off his gloves, and shook hands with Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian shook hands with Zhang Qi in a cautious manner. “Mr. Zhang, I signed the contract with Director Lu for the promotional song for the movie today. I came by to visit.”

This young idol revealed a sweet smile.

Gu Chu held the ice cream in her hands and took a few bites. Her pair of black eyes watched as the two of them conversed enthusiastically.

However, the conversation did not last long because the assistant director called. It would be Zhang Qi’s turn later, so he asked him to come to the set in advance to prepare. Zhang Qi squatted down and said to Gu Chu in a simple and honest manner, “Chuchu, let me bring you to the set to look for your mother, okay?”

Gu Chu: “Okay.”

Ye Qianqian also came over. “I don’t have any work today, so I’ll follow you to the set to take a look. There should be some fighting scenes with you in it later, Mr. Zhang Qi. I love watching your fighting scenes the most.”

Zhang Qi did not refuse and brought Gu Chu and ye Qianqian to the set. Tonight was a very important scene. The female lead was caught. Zhang Qi the bodyguard fought with a group of gangsters and saved the female lead when he was seriously injured.

Zhang Qi needed to hang in the air using the wire. He had to jump down from the ten-meter high platform and roll to chase after the bad guys. This was a great test of his physical fitness. However, Zhang Qi had worked in Hengdian for more than ten years. Using the wire to film was no problem. It could even be said to be easy.

Gu Chu saw Gu Manxi from afar. As the female lead, she had a lot of scenes. When she was busy, she might need to shoot for more than ten hours. The makeup artist was touching up her makeup. Gu Manxi’s delicate face had a few more scars, making it look very realistic.

Gu Chu slipped to Gu Manxi’s side, raised her little head, and called out to her in a low voice, “Mommy, you’ve worked hard.”

Gu Manxi hurriedly covered her scarred face. She was afraid of scaring the child. “Mommy is doing fine. Oh right, Chuchu, Mommy’s face isn’t covered with real blood. It’s fake blood made by the makeup artist. Chuchu, don’t be afraid.”

“Chuchu isn’t afraid. This is Mommy’s job.” Gu Chu stood on tiptoe and circled around Gu Manxi.

It had to be said that this injured makeup was really bloody. No wonder Gu Manxi didn’t let her see it.

On the other side, the props team was preparing the wire. Gu Chu stopped and thought for a moment. An idea flashed through her mind. She quickly said to Gu Manxi, “Mommy, I’m going to watch Uncle Zhang Qi’s scene. I’ll come find you later.”

After saying that, Gu Chu ran over.

She suddenly had a bold guess.

In the original novel, Gu Manxi could not escape the arrangement of her mother, Tang Chunxiu. She was forced to marry the 40-year-old greasy man, Director Li. That summer after she got married, an A-list martial arts actor was injured in an accident while filming on the set. Soon, it was exposed that he was having an affair. It was said that his wife caught Zhang Qi sleeping with his own sister, and it was leaked online…

According to the original timeline, the time that Zhang Qi was injured during filming was the same as now.

Perhaps, the props would go wrong.

Gu Chu ran over in a hurry and happened to see the staff fixing the wire on Zhang Qi’s waist. They were ready to adjust the shooting angle and the direction of the jump…
