Chapter 960 - Must Not Come over (1/2)

“Scram! Get lost! Don’t hang around in front of me.” Huo Xiao rolled his eyes at him in disdain. However, when he looked at Ling Sheng, he smiled extremely happily. “My dear granddaughter, come here.”

Huo Ci choked on a mouthful of blood. Look at the difference in treatment. Is he that unlikeable? Enough with the double standards!

When Ling Sheng ran out to the living room after hanging up the photos, she saw her father sitting on the sofa, reading a script. There were more than ten books on the sofa, and she was envious. She walked over with a beaming smile and massaged his shoulders and back. “Dad, do you have a good script?”

Huo Ci glanced at her in disdain. “The scripts in my hands are all good.”

“Let me take a look then.” Ling Sheng reached out to take a script, but her father slapped them away.

Huo Ci said, “Get lost. Who gave you permission to touch them? Hurry up and go do your questions. The college entrance examination is in less than four months. If you screw up, see how I’ll deal with you.”

Ling Sheng looked at the scripts bitterly, her face full of yearning. God knew that she should be a workaholic. She absolutely could not do without a job. During this period of time, she had been trapped at home every day. Other than studying, she had been studying. She had already done a thick stack of exam papers.

Besides, she realized that other than math being the most difficult subject for her, the questions for the rest of the subjects were really easy for her. She had originally underestimated her ability and even set aside two months to focus on the college entrance examination.

From the looks of it, one month was already enough. She couldn’t possibly stay at home without doing anything for the remaining three months!

Appeal to him with affection and make him understand with reason. She told her father everything she could say and tried to discuss with him, bearing an aggrieved expression. “Dad, I really can do it. It was just an accident at the gala previously. I’m not that unlucky either to end up in an accident every time, right?”

“I said, get lost!” Huo Ci glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He looked at her stomach and started wondering. “When you take the college entrance exam, will your stomach turn into a ball by then? Can pregnant women enter the exam hall?”

“There’s no rule against pregnant women entering the exam hall.” Ling Sheng felt a lump of blood in her throat. Pregnant, my a*s. Since there’s no other way out, can I come clean with the truth now?

Huo Ci nodded and clicked his tongue. “Hmm, that thing in your stomach will probably become the youngest examinee at that time.”

Ling Sheng coughed out another mouthful of blood. Dad, can you not ask this question so seriously?

She privately thought that she wouldn’t be able to wait until the college entrance examination at all. In another two months, if her stomach didn’t swell up, she would be exposed! She couldn’t possibly stuff something around her stomach like a palace drama!

Since Huo Ci wouldn’t let her read the scripts, Ling Sheng whined while dawdling at the side. Unable to chase her away, he threw her a script directly and even reminded her kindly, “I’ll let you have a look. It’s not yours.”

“Thank you, Dad.” When Ling Sheng took the script, her heart was already flying, and her eyes were brimming with tears of excitement. After half a month, she had finally touched a script again. It felt even dearer than seeing her family members!

The movie’s title was ‘Brilliant’, and it was an inspirational film adapted from real characters. The main character, Zhen Baozhu, was born in the 1980s and grew up as an ordinary handicapped girl in a village in the 1990s.

She liked to run and jump. She ran faster than anyone else, and jumped high and far. In the end, through hard work, she became a first-class athlete in the country’s track and field and became the first Grand Slam athlete in the history of China. She also filled in the gaps in China’s international athletics competitions.

The script was very simple, but it was very passionate and inspirational. It was a story about an ugly duckling who had eventually changed her fate and grown into a white swan through her own efforts.

It was obviously a very simple central theme of the story, a very ordinary plot. However, the more ordinary it was, the more relatable it felt, as though the story and characters were right by the audience’s side. It was easier for one to be moved.

Huo Ci glanced sideways at the brat, who was crying one moment and laughing at other times, as she read the script. He knew that she would definitely like this script very much. Actually, this script had been prepared for her. However, she would not be able to make it in time for the commencement of the casting this year.
