Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter

Chapter 214 - Sheep in the Tiger’s Mouth

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Sheep in the Tiger’s Mouth

Zhao Manshi didn’t do anything evil. Instead, she got closer and closer to Gu Manxi.

In private, she kept calling her “sister.” When she had time, she would run over to Gu Manxi to read the script. She took the initiative to ask to go for a walk together, eat together, or even take the time to go shopping together.

Gradually, Gu Manxi let down her guard.

In fact, despite her unruly and willful outer shell, Zhao Manshi was quite serious in her work.

She did not want to be suppressed by Gu Manxi, nor did she want Gu Manxi to think that she had no skills and only beauty. She also wanted her sister to recognize her strength, so Zhao Manshi was very serious in her filming.

There were several times when she made mistakes in her filming, and she was scolded by Lu Shanhe.

At first, Zhao Manshi was respectful to Lu Shanhe. She lowered her head to listen to the scolding and did not dare to reply.

Later, when Lu Shanhe scolded her harshly, Zhao Manshi’s filter toward Director Lu gradually disappeared. She was not angry even when she was scolded, but tears welled up in her eyes as she stomped her feet, feeling wronged, she pointed at Lu Shanhe’s nose and argued, “Let’s shoot it again! If today’s scene isn’t good enough, I won’t sleep!”

For a newcomer to dare to talk back to the director, her temper was quite bad.

However, Lu Shanhe was open-minded and didn’t get angry. Instead, he felt that Zhao Manshi’s image was becoming more and more similar to the second female lead in the script.

Half a month later.

Gu Chu finally obtained Gu Manxi’s permission to visit Hengdian.

Early in the morning, Gu Chu got up early and tied two childish ponytails for herself. She combed her bangs and put on the little black dress that her uncle had bought for her. She looked in the mirror and saw a cute little loli.

Her hands were soft and white. Her face was delicate and her eyes were big and bright. Her eyes were crystal clear and she looked no different from a five-or six-year-old girl.

“Ace of Hearts, you’ve fallen…” Gu Chu crossed her arms in front of her chest and sighed like a little adult.

She was more and more willing to be a child.

The flashes of swords and the magnificent memories of her previous life were far away, becoming fragments of her dreams in the middle of the night.

“Chuchu, come downstairs for breakfast.” Zhao Yan was knocking on the door.

Gu Chu retracted the solemn expression on his face and smiled. She got her slippers and went downstairs.

Downstairs, besides her uncle Zhao Yan, there was also Song Chen, who had been waiting for her since a while ago. Song Chen had specially rushed over today. He was prepared to send Gu Chu to Hengdian to visit Gu Manxi and discuss a very important matter with Manxi at the same time.

However, Zhao Yan’s handsome face was ice-cold. From the beginning to the end, he did not give Song Chen a good look.

“Good morning uncle, Good Morning Uncle Song.” Gu Chu sat down obediently. She took the hot milk and sandwich that Zhao Yan handed over.

Song Chen smiled. “Good morning, Chuchu.”

Zhao Yan: “Hmph.”

Gu Chu chewed on the sandwich and glanced around. She did not see Lin Xiaozhou. Gu Chu gulped down the food and drank a few mouthfuls of milk to moisten her throat. “Uncle, where’s Brother Xiaozhou?”

Zhao Yan looked upstairs with a gentle gaze. “He’s still resting.”

Gu Chu asked casually, “Brother Xiaozhou is sleeping late again. He’s even lazier than me.”

“He didn’t sleep last night. He’s too tired. Let him sleep a little longer.” Zhao Yan was still very protective of his wife, so he explained to Gu Chu.

Gu Chu narrowed her eyes.?Uncle, your words are very ambiguous… I’ll let my imagination run wild.

Now that Lin Xiaozhou had settled down at Zhao Yan’s house, he would pay the rent on time every month. The relationship between the two became closer. Lin Xiaozhou was innocent, lively, and optimistic. He had always treated Zhao Yan as his brother.

Yet the sheep had already entered the tiger’s mouth…
