Chapter 87

Pujiang Film City.

A black sedan slowly drove in, entering the set of "Dian Jiang Chun."

Inside the car, Su Lan's agent, Zhou Li, was rambling: "We can finish your scenes by 3 PM today, then we need to rush to shoot the skincare commercial, which will end by 6 PM, and then we have to attend a brand dinner..."

The assistant sitting in the driver's seat glanced at Su Lan through the rearview mirror. Seeing that she was silent and her face showed no emotion, she mustered the courage to interject: "Sister Li, aren't there too many activities these days? Sister Lan doesn't have time to rest properly."

Zhou Li was taken aback and said to Su Lan, "No wonder, Su Su, you have dark circles under your eyes. I thought it was smoky makeup."

Su Lan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "If I don't apply heavy makeup, the dark circles are too obvious, and it will affect the filming."

Zhou Li asked, "Why haven't you rested well? Are you having insomnia?"

Su Lan shook her head and remained silent. The assistant, Yang Zhu, who was driving, listened for a moment and then interjected: "Sister Li, have you counted the days? What's the date today?"

"30th, what's the matter? Oh, it's payday, you remember so clearly." Zhou Li said, having just reported the schedule to Su Lan, so she remembered the date clearly.

Yang Zhu, hearing the sarcasm in Sister Li's voice, was scared to speak, but thinking of Su Lan's pale face and her tendency to bear things alone, she bit her lip and decided to speak up.

"Sister Li, I'm driving, don't scold me, I get scared easily."

Before Zhou Li could scold her, she quickly said, "Sister Lan hasn't been feeling well these past few days. She's on her period."

Since there were only three women in the car, it was fine to talk about private matters.

Zhou Li immediately understood and counted the days, realizing it was indeed today.

"Su Su, is your stomach very painful?"

She then noticed that Su Lan's face was unusually pale, and she hadn't spoken since getting in the car, not because she didn't want to, but because she was enduring the pain.

Su Lan nodded but then said, "It's much better now, Zhu Zhu gave me some red sugar water."

"Did you wear the heat pad?" Zhou Li asked, then turned to Yang Zhu, "Zhu Zhu?"

The driving Yang Zhu quickly replied, "I gave it to Sister Su, she should be wearing it."

"I'm wearing it," Su Lan said.

Zhou Li, feeling concerned, said, "I'll cancel the dinner tonight, you need to rest well."

Su Lan nodded.

Zhou Li continued, "I thought you would have more time to rest after graduation, but the company has scheduled so many activities for you, just like when you were in school. This can't go on, your body can't handle it. I'll talk to the company later..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly heard Yang Zhu scream, and the car braked hard. The inertia caused her body to lurch forward, and her head hit the back of the driver's seat, which hurt.

"Zhu Zhu, you crazy girl, how many times have I told you to focus on driving? Why did you brake so suddenly?!!"

Yang Zhu's face was pale, and she ignored Zhou Li's scolding, thinking only, "I hit someone, a child!"

Thinking of this, she trembled all over.

"Sister Li, Sister Lan, I, I hit someone."

Her voice was trembling.

Hearing this, Zhou Li and Su Lan's faces changed.

Zhou Li stood up from her seat and looked out the windshield, but saw no one.

"Are you sure? I didn't feel any impact."

Yang Zhu was on the verge of tears: "Really, it was a child, right in front of the car."

"Get out and check," Su Lan said.

Zhou Li quickly regained her composure, grabbed her hand, and said, "Su Su, you can't get out. If you appear, things will get more complicated. I'll handle it, you stay in the car."

She opened the car door and saw a man had already run over and was squatting in front of the car. There, a little girl was sitting on the ground, looking terrified and pale.

She looked about seven or eight years old, wearing a beautiful court dress, with baby fat still on her face, making her look very cute.

Yang Zhu also shakily got out of the car.

"How are you, little girl? Where does it hurt?" Zhou Li asked.

The little girl was too scared to speak, and Zhou Li tried to help her up.

"Don't move!" the man shouted.

Yang Zhu instinctively shrank back, scared.

Zhou Li asked, "Who are you?"

The man was Zhang Tan.

He happened to be passing by and saw that Wang Zihan, who was playing Shi Xiangyun in the production, had been in a car accident.

Because of the angle, he didn't see the exact situation, but the little girl looked very frightened, even if she wasn't hit, she was terrified.

Zhang Tan ignored Zhou Li and continued to patiently ask Wang Zihan about her condition, telling her not to move to avoid secondary injuries.

Zhou Li: "Is the little girl okay? Should we take her to the hospital for a check-up?"

Zhang Tan said, "That's a good idea, a check-up would be more appropriate."

Zhou Li sighed with relief and said to Yang Zhu, "The boss is waiting, drive to tell him I'll be there later."

She winked at her, meaning to take Su Lan away first without exposing her.

"I saw you drive here, I'll go to the hospital with you."

Zhang Tan nodded and led Wang Zihan away.

Zhou Li waved to the car and followed Zhang Tan.

Yang Zhu sat back in the car, ready to take Su Lan away, but...

"Wait, Zhu Zhu, let's not go to the set first. Follow the car in front, we'll go to the hospital too," Su Lan said from the back seat.

"Ah?" Yang Zhu was surprised, "Sister Su, Sister Li told us to go first."

"That little girl is pale, it's our responsibility. I need to see her personally to feel at ease."

Su Lan's gaze was fixed on Zhang Tan through the car window.

Since Zhang Tan appeared, she was incredibly surprised, confirming and reconfirming, yes, it was Zhang Tan, but he had changed a lot.

"But, if you appear, and the reporters take photos, it will cause a big fuss."

"It's fine, I'll follow and explain to Sister Li."

"But..."

"Stop nagging."

"Okay."

Zhou Li followed Zhang Tan into the car and was surprised.

There were people in the car.

A big-eyed baby with short hair was looking at her.

Her chin was pointed, her skin was dark, and she looked mischievous but her thin body was pitiful.

Sitting next to her was another baby.

This one was much rounder, with two pigtails on her head, staring curiously at her and saying, "Haha, did something bad, huh~~"

Zhou Li didn't expect to be mocked by a child and was speechless.

The pigtailed baby said proudly, "We saw it all, Xiao Bai, right?"

Xiao Bai nodded, yes, they saw it all.

It was the weekend, and they had come to the set with Zhang Tan to watch "Little Actors" filming, only to witness a car almost hitting a little girl.

The two children were waving their arms and legs in the car, shouting together to call the police.
