“Thank you for helping me. Steven had no one else to choose besides you. We want to achieve a record-breaking box office sales. We want someone with good acting skills and is suited for the role, but there aren’t many options. That Lin Che would never ever join the cast. I will not allow it. Don’t worry. Be on my side and it will all go well for you,” said Mary.

Qin Wanwan smiled, “That’s for sure, Miss Mary. I will definitely be on your side.”

Upon meeting Qin Wanwan, Steven sized her up with displeasure, just like how he had treated Lin Che before.

Qin Wanwan immediately went up to flatter him, but Steven did not seem to acknowledge her. He held up his hand and simply said, “Try out a scene.”

Qin Wanwan felt a little awkward. Was she to start her audition right away?

“Previously, I saw Lin Che’s performance through her film and I thought that it was good. You didn’t show me yours, so I can only ask you to act on the spot now. This is the script. Look through it and let me know when you are ready,” said Steven.

“Sure. Actually, Lin Che and I debuted in the same year. We are considered two of the most outstanding actresses back at home, so don’t worry,” Qin Wanwan replied with a smile.

Steven was still doubtful but told her to go and read the script.

Qin Wanwan was displeased. She was an A-list actor back in the home country but over here, she was treated like a rookie.

However, Steven was a very renowned film director. Previously, when she had visited Hollywood, she already knew that people here did not regard C Country’s influence because they did not even watch its films.

After a while, Steven came to rush her and she could only go on stage right away.

It was a love scene. She thought that it would be easier to act it out but it turned out to be the toughest. The lines were ordinary but it was difficult to express the emotions naturally. On the other hand, emotional and crying scenes which required more intense expressions were easier to grasp.

Steven watched her audition and nodded silently.

He took the script and left, and told her that he would have to discuss it with others.

George came towards Steven, looked at him, and said, “How was it?”

Shaking his head, Steven said, “Not as good as Lin,”

“Well…”

“I definitely hope that Lin will resolve the issue but in the event that it doesn’t go well, we can only choose Qin Wanwan. Not to mention, she was recommended by Mr. Henry. We have offended him. If we wish to have a smooth filming process, we should do him this favor.”

“Alright, let me ask Lin and check on her situation.”

Lin Che was mercilessly rejected by Mr. Henry, so she had no choice but to return to her hotel first.

Everyone gathered to brainstorm a solution but since they were unfamiliar with the Hollywood environment, they could not come up with a good plan.

After a long time, they received news from home, saying that tragedy struck Mr. President and it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.

Lin Che was taken aback.

“Goodness, it can’t be. What about Sister Yu…”

“Quick, call Sister Yu now. They should have some information.”

“Is that important now? If something had really happened, would Sister Yu be in the mood to tell you?”

Lin Che immediately called Yu Minmin.

However… the phone was turned off.

Lin Che got even more worried. Yu Minmin would never turn off her cellphone because her work required her to keep her phone switched on at all times.

She hurriedly sent Yu Minmin a message on WeChat.

As expected, there was no response. But Lin Che hoped that Yu Minmin would see the message.

Everyone looked at Lin Che, but she shook her head.

Everyone was dejected. “Sigh, this matter is close to the heart… After all, we know Mr. President’s wife…”

“What does that have to do with you? That’s enough. Why not think of a solution to resolve the situation here? There has still been no news after half a day; that is probably good news. If something really happened, it would definitely cause an uproar.”

Lin Che left them to discuss it while she called Gu Jingze.

The call went through after a few rings.

“How are things now?” Lin Che asked anxiously. “I just saw the local news reporting that C Country’s president got into an accident and there are no updates about him yet.”

“I am on my way to S City and I am still quite far away. All planes are grounded. I am on the expressway,” said Gu Jingze.

“How did the situation become so severe? Is the typhoon weather still very bad?” asked Lin Che.

“Yes, it is.”

“Goodness. Take care of yourself, Gu Jingze.”

“Don’t worry, I will be fine. Be a good girl and don’t do anything silly. It is probably a good thing that you are overseas. Now that there is typhoon here, the weather is really bad.”

The great weather in Los Angeles made it difficult to picture the chilly weather back home.

As Lin Che returned to the room, everyone’s eyes were on her, “How was it, Sister Lin Che? Did you find out anything?”

Lin Che shook her head and replied, “No news yet,”

“Alright, I thought you were able to find out some information.”

“Why would Sister Lin Che get any news?”

“Sister Lin Che is so powerful. Her connections are much wider than yours. What do you know?”

“We can’t contact Yu Minmin now. She should be very busy. The best thing that we can do is to complete our task properly.”

Lin Che thought to herself, Misfortunes seldom come alone and it had to be now…

She has just failed to resolve her situation and back home, Yu Minmin encountered another problem.

Indeed, misfortunes seldom came alone, but what was unexpected was that…

Lin Che was looking at her phone when a Wechat notification popped out.

She opened the notification.

It was a stranger and it wrote Mo Huiling.

That fellow…

Lin Che clicked “Accept”, wondering what she was up to this time around when she contacted her.

Mo Huiling did not say anything but only sent over a picture.

It was a car and Lin Che was puzzled.

Looking closely at it, it was Gu Jingze’s house.

But she still could not figure out its meaning.

Then, Mo Huiling said impatiently, she said, “Take note of the background. It’s a hospital, a private hospital. More specifically, it’s a gynecological private hospital. Do I need to elaborate further?”

After hearing what she said, Lin Che took a closer look. She was right.

“What are you implying,” Lin Che asked.

“Why would a father not be concerned for his child? The moment you left, he came to the hospital to keep me company. We looked at the child together and the child is healthy. Oh, he even looked for the best gynecologist for me. His name is Gu Chunlai. I’m not sure if you heard of him, but I don’t think so, right? Only someone who has a child would know.”

What?

Gu Jingze brought her to the hospital?

It couldn’t be!

Lin Che knew that Gu Jingze would never bring Mo Huiling to the hospital for a gynecologist appointment. Even if he was at the hospital with her, there must have been other reasons.

However, those thoughts still infuriated her.

It felt as if her blood was boiling and she could no longer contain her anger.

This Gu Jingze… Was he fooling around in her absence? Why did he not inform her about accompanying Mo Huiling to the hospital?
