Chapter 191: Take Care of Yourself
Xiaoqi thought for a while before saying, “Three years old.”
Jiang Zhe watched as the child waved goodbye at him before running on his short legs. When he reached the door, he saw the woman take his hand and leave. He frowned slightly, lost deep in thought.
The child was already three years old.
Based on the timeline, the Sixth Brother had committed a mistake four years ago. The girl had kept the child and had come to find him to make him take responsibility after giving birth.
Since the Sixth Brother had not sent her away and had arranged for the young lady to join his company and let the Old Madam and Old Master know, they should be prepared to accept the young lady!
It had been more than 20 years. He should let go and find happiness. He hoped that this girl would be his salvation!
However, the girl was good in every aspect. It was just as the Fifth Brother had said. She was too young. How old had she been just four years ago? How could he target her?
Huo Xiao and the others had come, but Ling Sheng had no time to keep them company. The filming schedule was too rushed.
The old couple took Xiaoqi around the area during the day to have fun. They would only see her late at night when they returned to the hotel, which made her feel terrible. She vowed to keep her family company properly after filming.

The filming site was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was focused on filming that day’s last scene.
In the evening, the farmhouse’s backyard was very quiet. The warm orange-yellow glow of the setting sun shone on Moon’s face. After feeding the pig, she removed the pink hair clip from her hair and placed it in her palm, looking at it for a long time.
Through the camera, Yi Jinrong looked at the sallow-faced woman staring at the hair clip. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, bitterness, struggle, and hesitation that slowly turned into determination. She looked like a warrior who was about to go out and strive for victory. She looked up and smiled at the sky.
She had decided that she would not stay in this place for anyone. She had to leave this place that was filled with despair and a rotten stench.
Even her child could not stop her from pursuing freedom.
Yi Jinrong’s emotions fluctuated along with her emotions. She was definitely the most intelligent actress he had ever met. Her emotional performance was naturally rich, and the changes in her eyes perfectly portrayed the changes in her heart.
This performance had been requested by her. There had been no hair clip originally. She had discussed it with him and said that tomorrow would be the character’s birthday. Her husband and daughter would rush to meet her. If her daughter bought something for her, it would help her express the change in her heart even better.
From the looks of it, she was right. Without the hair clip, this would have been just a simple performance that would not have affected one’s emotions. It would have been too uninspiring. With just this hair clip, all her emotions erupted and changed.
She hated everyone there, but her daughter was a piece of flesh that had been separated from her body. As long as she had a maternal nature, she would be reluctant and hesitant. In the end, she decided to leave this toxic village.
“Cut!” Yi Jinrong shouted. He looked at Ling Sheng in satisfaction and clapped. “Very good. That’s all for today. We are done. Sheng Sheng, go remove your makeup and change. We’ll leave in half an hour.”
“Thank you, director.” Ling Sheng quickly got out of character, her eyes crinkling as she turned around to take the bottle of water from Xiao Ye. In one breath, she finished half the bottle.
Yesterday afternoon, the investors had come over to meet them and have dinner with them. That was why filming had ended so early.
The dressing room was like an empty house. It was very simple, and the dressing table was shared. There were two changing rooms covered by a curtain. One was for the men, and the other for the ladies.
Ling Sheng had just entered the dressing room when she ran into Lu Xianzhi, who had just changed. She did not want to greet him, but she could not help but ask him, “Are you alright?”
Lu Xianzhi stopped in his tracks and said coldly, “Take care of yourself!”
Ling Sheng pouted as she watched the man straighten his back and walk out of the dressing room as though nothing had happened. However, something was obviously odd about his footsteps.
He had concealed this very well that day. Ordinary people would not notice that anything was amiss. However, she had been filming with him and she knew his condition the best. He was seriously injured.
