Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Being Targeted

The film crew sat together for a script reading, the atmosphere was very joyful, even Director Ye took some behind-the-scenes shots to release.

Some marketing gimmicks for promoting the film, some fans just love this kind of stuff.

The movie was shot for two months and reached a few climaxes.

Li Zhi finally saw the news in the newspaper that Weiya Gao was going to get engaged to Xu Jiajia.

The news of the century-long wedding alliance between the Gao and Xu families made the whole city boil.

But Weiya Gao escaped from the wedding, wanting to take Li Zhi away from here.

He was unwilling to accept his family’s arrangement; he just wanted to spend the rest of his life with the person he loved.

But was it really that easy?

"Act well and aim to get it right in one go!" Director Ye looked at them.

They were all seasoned actors.

Su Tutu, wearing a wedding dress, stood in the chapel, with all guests present, but the groom was missing at the moment.

Su Tutu panicked; the actor playing her father ordered frighteningly, "Go see what’s happened to the groom."

"Yes!"

The minor role actor hurried out.

During this tense wait, a figure appeared at the entrance of the chapel, but it wasn’t Weiya Gao.

Su Tutu could hardly hide her disappointment, but then she heard an even more shocking piece of news.

"The groom is missing!"

"What do you mean, ’missing’?" Su Tutu’s face turned angry, her bouquet dropped to the floor: "Don’t just stand there, go find him for me!"

The scene instantly turned chaotic.

"Okay, cut!" Director Ye shouted, "Qin Mo and Qiao Xi, get ready!"

Qin Mo sneaked out from his home, found Qiao Xi, and then ran with her to the docks.

"Zhizhi, we’re about to start our escape, are you scared?" Qin Mo’s face was filled with youthful defiance, relief, and excitement!

He could finally leave behind everything he despised.

At that moment, happiness seemed so close, almost within reach.

Li Zhi was a woman brave for love.

Qiao Xi entrusted herself to Qin Mo: "I’m not afraid; what’s there to fear when I’m with my beloved?"

After all, she had nothing left to lose.

No matter if the road ahead was filled with thorns or fire and brimstone, as long as there was love in the heart, there would be nothing to fear.

The two stood at the ferry dock; his arranged boat came over.

Qin Mo jumped onto the boat first, turned around, and flashed a brilliant smile at Qiao Xi: "Zhizhi."

Qiao Xi handed him her hand, and they both stood on the boat as the wind made their clothes whip around noisily.

The two exchanged a smile, and Qin Mo directed someone to start the boat.

That’s when the calamity struck.

People from both the Gao and Xu families arrived.

"Weiya, you can’t go; get off the boat!"

"Weiya, what will we do if you leave? What about Jiajia?"

Su Tutu, still in her pristine wedding dress: "Brother Weiya, are you really going to abandon me and leave?"

People in society always cannot isolate themselves from others.

It was them who caused his current dilemma, why couldn’t they let him be with the woman he loved?

Was it so hard to fulfill their wishes?

Qin Mo’s eyes reddened as he yelled: "Start the boat!!!"

Unfortunately, heaven didn’t hear the prayers of the lovers.

They couldn’t ultimately escape their cage.

Qin Mo was held down by several men and then forcefully taken away.

In the end, only Qiao Xi was left alone at the dock.

The camera fixated on her face.

Qiao Xi looked up slightly, gazing at the sky that symbolized freedom, followed by a sad and self-mocking smile.

Perhaps, society was just that unjust to her.

Lovers don’t always end up together.

Li Zhi wouldn’t let herself be troubled for long; those emotions were merely fleeting across her face, soon returning to the cool aloofness of a top courtesan.

Since fate was unjust, she would not bow.

People mired in mud must also continue to climb up one day!

Director Ye clenched his fist fiercely: "Cut!"

Su Tutu adjusted her wedding dress: "Ho, this is my second time wearing a wedding dress, take a picture for me to show my husband."

Assistant: "Coming."

Qiao Xi was still somewhat immersed in the drama and walked over just in time to hear this; all her sadness vanished.

Her sister in reality was loving.

Qiao Xi gently reminded, "Sister, distance creates beauty."

When there were no other people around, Su Tutu then said, "Look at you, married to Boss Shen for two years and separated for two years, has it become beautiful?"

Qiao Xi: "..."

Can’t we go one day without mentioning Shen Dang?

Qin Mo came over holding two cups of milk tea: "Qiao Xi, Tutu, my assistant bought milk teas, everyone in the crew has one, here’s yours."

Su Tutu took it unapologetically: "Wow, thanks."

Qiao Xi wanted to refuse, but Qin Mo said, "It’s low sugar."

With that, Qiao Xi felt even more obliged to accept: "Then thanks, next time let me treat everyone."

Qin Mo looked a bit somber: "You’re welcome; go ahead and talk."

Qin Mo turned away, not wanting to disturb their sisters’ chat.

Su Tutu happily sipped her milk tea, watching Qin Mo’s tall figure: "Teacher Qin is a good man, if there wasn’t Boss Shen, I’d encourage you to go after him! He’s a future movie emperor."

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes: "Don’t talk nonsense."

Su Tutu touched her face: "This face of yours, totally unassuming."

Qiao Xi: "..."

...

Zhou Junqi soon noticed that someone was targeting him, though he didn’t know who.

In the studio, he sat despondently in a reclining chair.

Brother Wang sat at the table in front of him, arms crossed, with a cold smirk: "Who did you annoy this time? Or was one of your anonymous accounts exposed?"

"It can’t be discovered!"

His anonymous account was very covert, impossible to expose.

Zhou Junqi muttered, "And I haven’t done anything lately."

"The sponsor that was supposed to approach you went to your rival instead, the TV series where you played the lead has been suspended immediately, and the few offline events prepared are now also canceled by the company. And you’re telling me you haven’t annoyed anyone?"

Brother Wang’s face looked grim as he grabbed Zhou Junqi’s chin, then tossed it aside: "Do you expect me to believe that?"

Zhou Junqi grabbed his hair in frustration: "But I really didn’t provoke anyone, Brother Wang, who is plotting against me?"

"If I [censored] knew who was targeting you, I’d have you apologize to them!"

"Brother Wang, ask the higher-ups; you can definitely find out something."

He needed exposure.

Without exposure, his value wouldn’t rise, and he wouldn’t access better endorsements and scripts.

Female stars rely on their youth, aren’t male stars the same?

He also needed to know who was setting him up.

Brother Wang tapped his fingers in the air a few times: "Keep quiet these days, don’t stir up more trouble!"

Zhou Junqi was still pondering who was targeting him, but never suspected Qiao Xi; she didn’t have such influence.

If he thought about who he had recently upset... Zhou Junqi quickly made a connection with a past incident.

Brother Wang had already walked away; Zhou Junqi hurriedly called him, excitedly saying, "Brother Wang, I think I might have guessed who it is."

Brother Wang stopped in his tracks: "Who?"
