After much thought, Feng Yu dialed Mu Li's phone number.
"What's the matter?" A cold voice came through the phone.
"Brother Mu Li, sorry to bother you. How have you and Ge'er been lately?" Feng Yu asked tentatively. "Ge'er drank a lot of wine last night... and she's even planning to go back for a blind date."
She hoped that Mu Li would stop Fu Geyue.
She could tell that Mu Li loved Ge'er deeply.
If he knew that Ge'er was going back for a blind date, there was no way he could stay calm.
But the truth was...
On the other end of the phone, there was a cold silence.
"Leave her alone."
Mu Li's eyes were indifferent. This time, he was determined to teach her a lesson so that she would know what to say and what not to say.
Feng Yu frowned. "Mu Li, I don't know what happened between you and Ge'er. But Ge'er is my good sister, and I won't let her suffer alone. She's always been carefree, but it doesn't mean she has no feelings. If she hadn't reached the limit of her patience, she wouldn't have gone on a drinking spree."
"Ge'er likes you. I can tell. Please don't let her down."
There was another moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Feng Yu sighed.
After all, it was a matter between the two of them. One was going for a blind date, and the other was giving the cold shoulder. What could she, an outsider, say?
"I see." Mu Li replied and hung up the phone.
He had gone to see Feng Yayin to draw a clear line with her once and for all.
"Master Mu, why are you still here? The old master wants you in the study."
A servant bowed respectfully and said to him.
Mu Li frowned.
...
Several days had passed since Feng Yu called Mu Li. At first, the old lady was very strict and always found reasons to keep her at home.
She was very obedient and did as the old lady wished.
Before long, the old lady trusted her a lot more.
However...
Fu Geyue still hadn't replied to her messages.
Feng Yu looked at the last message Fu Geyue sent her, saying that she was going for a blind date.
She couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that Ge'er was really going to go for a blind date this time.
Just as she was worrying, Yang Mulin called.
"Xiaoyu, the filming of this drama is almost wrapped up. Most of Actor Lu's scenes are done. We're just waiting for you. Do you think you can come back to the set?" Yang Mulin asked her with some difficulty.
"Sorry, Director Yang. Thank you for your concern. I'll come right away."
Yang Mulin hung up the phone and immediately turned to look at Lu Zhiqian. Bowing and scraping, he said, "Actor Lu, I've already informed her. I'm really sorry to have kept you filming alone for so long."
Lu Zhiqian didn't say a word. His eyes were cold.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Yang Mulin was sweating.
He had long heard that Actor Lu was a very dedicated person and didn't like unprofessional people.
During this period, Feng Yu didn't have many scenes. Most of the filming was focused on Actor Lu. Since she had something to take leave for, he had approved it.
But it seemed that Actor Lu wasn't very happy.
Before long, Feng Yu arrived.
Yang Mulin was initially overjoyed. Then, seeing Lu Zhiqian, he immediately pretended to scold her. "Look at you. How can you be so unprofessional? You haven't come to the set for so long. Do you think you can act like a big shot just because you're famous?"
"Sorry, Director Yang."
There was also a look of apology on Feng Yu's face.
Lu Zhiqian walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "It's okay. There weren't any of your scenes before anyway."
Yang Mulin looked at this extremely double - standard man in a daze.
Wasn't it this Actor Lu who said before that an actor should know to come to the set?
Wasn't it also this Actor Lu who had a cold face and was unhappy?
But now, it was still this Actor Lu who was comforting Feng Yu and saying it didn't matter!
Yang Mulin's face froze. Actor Lu's mind was really as hard to fathom as a needle in the ocean.
"Go and get your makeup done." Lu Zhiqian said.
Feng Yu nodded, but she was extremely out of sorts today.
"Cut—Take a break. We'll reshoot in ten minutes." Yang Mulin called a halt again.
Feng Yu bit her lower lip and walked up to him. "Sorry. I'll adjust my state as soon as possible. I guarantee that the next take will be a success."
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Mulin held back his temper and comforted her. "We've already shot this scene more than twenty times. Haven't you found your state yet?"
"Sorry, sorry." Feng Yu didn't explain herself. She just kept apologizing.
Lu Zhiqian walked over to her. "It's okay. Don't be nervous. Go and take a break over there and relax, okay?"
"Okay." Feng Yu was in a very low mood.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiqian asked her as they walked.
Feng Yu voiced her concern. "I'm worried that something might happen to Ge'er. No matter how willful she was before, she wouldn't be so silent and not reply to my messages."
Even if she was going back for a blind date, she should have boasted about meeting some handsome guys.
But there was nothing.
How could she not be worried?
Lu Zhiqian stared at her meaningfully. "Everyone has their own secrets they want to hide. Even the closest people may not share them. Maybe she has her own things to do and that's why she didn't tell you. Are you so close that there's no privacy at all between you?"
Lu Zhiqian's words stumped her.
"Well, not really..."
"Then give others some respect. If they don't reply to you, they must have their own reasons. She's an adult. Do you still worry that she'll be abducted?" Lu Zhiqian said with a half - smile.
Feng Yu frowned. He was right.
"You should also have your own things to deal with." Lu Zhiqian guided her patiently.
Feng Yu nodded.
She needed ten million.
Then she could have a video call with her younger brother. As long as she could have a video call, she was sure she could find out where her brother was!
Moreover, she had promised Ge'er that she would become the top actress of Yijianmei and completely defeat Feng Yayin!
Even if Ge'er wasn't by her side now, she still had to fulfill the promise she made to Ge'er.
"Actor Lu, thank you!" Feng Yu smiled.
She quickly got up and walked towards Yang Mulin. Bowing deeply, she said, "Director Yang, I hope you can give me another chance. This time, I will definitely not disappoint you."
There was a look of determination in Feng Yu's eyes.
Yang Mulin stared blankly at the young girl in front of him, and then his expression turned into excitement. "Okay, come on. Let's continue shooting!"
This time, the scene was successfully shot.
Feng Yu seemed to turn into a workaholic. She filled her schedule tightly, constantly taking on advertisements and endorsements. For a while, she occupied a great deal of resources.
The filming of *The Light of Enlightenment* was successfully wrapped up.
At the wrap - up party, Feng Yu attended the wrap - up banquet in a high - end evening dress custom - made by Voa. Once again, she became the focus of the whole event and was extremely glamorous for a moment.
At this moment, Fu Geyue was still locked up by Lu Zhiqian. She didn't know what was going on outside. She cried every day.
"How about it?" Lu Zhiqian asked coldly.
Fu Geyue gritted her teeth. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes. "How about what? Do you think you can get information about Third Brother from me? Dream on!"
Lu Zhiqian wasn't in a hurry. He said calmly, "I've always thought that we're the same kind of people."
"Bullshit!" Fu Geyue immediately denied it.
Maybe it was because she had cried too much recently. Her eyes could no longer shed tears. She hated the man in front of her. It was him who had ruined everything for her!
"But do you know? While you're crying here every day, trying every means to escape and then being caught and tortured by me, the people outside are acting as if nothing has happened..."
"Impossible!" Fu Geyue screamed.
She bit her lower lip and murmured, "No, they must be anxiously looking for me. Even if I can't escape on my own, they will find this place and rescue me!"
"Really?" Lu Zhiqian didn't rush to refute.
"Yes!"
He took out his phone and showed Fu Geyue a report. "A mysterious tycoon has arrived in Beishi. It is rumored that he will hold a banquet at the Golden Tripod Hotel tonight!"
