Chapter 191: A Crafty Businessman (1)


Su Yaya thought about random things and visualized a scene amongst Chen Xiuqi, Xu Chaoran, and An Yutong. She deeply sighed at An Yutong’s heroine halo.


Thankfully, Su Yaya didn’t lament for too long when the sound of ringtone on her phone rang. It interrupted her thoughts.


She picked up her phone to see Mother Su’s call.


Su Yaya hurriedly picked up the phone and said, “Mother.”


Mother Su’s anxious voice rang from the other side of the phone. “Yaya, I heard that the shelf at your cast and crew collapsed and you got injured. Is this true? Your father and I are in the countryside, so we were notified late. We just heard about it from your sister-in-law this morning. Are you hurt? Is it serious? Do you want me and your father to come to the capital to visit you right away?”


“Mother, mother, wait a second first. Wait a second.” Su Yaya hurriedly said.


The anxious Mother Su listened to her words and then calmed down. She asked in concern, “Yaya, are you okay?”


Su Yaya responded, “I’m fine and I didn’t get hurt either. Don’t worry.”


She didn’t want to tell her parents that she was injured. The two lived far away and she didn’t want them to be overly worried. She had been away from her parents for many years and was used to reporting the and not the bad in her daily life. Therefore, she purposely lied so that they wouldn’t be worried.


“But that’s what the news said.” Mother Su said.


Su Yaya smiled and said, “The entertainment news says that on purpose in order to grab people’s attention.”


Mother Su was still worried and she asked again, “You’re really not hurt?”


“Yes, yes.” Su Yaya hurriedly said, “You don’t need to worry.”


Mother Su continued, “The news also said that someone saved you. Their name was Xu, Xu…”


“Xu Chengkun.” Su Yaya added.


“Right, right. That’s the name.” Mother Su said, “He saved you, so you didn’t get injured. You need to thank him.”


Su Yaya responded, well-behaved, “I know. I already thanked him. Just be at ease.”


Mother Su hummed and said, “Yaya, your father and I miss you. Why don’t we go to the capital to visit you?”


Su Yaya was shook in her heart. How could they? If they came over, wouldn’t she be exposed? She hurriedly said, “Mother, I’m shooting my scenes at the cast right now. I’m not in the capital, so it’ll be inconvenient if you guys come over. The conditions here are very good too. Why don’t I make time to go back and visit you guys after I’m done shooting my scenes?”


“Then when are you coming back?” Su Yaya didn’t want them to go to the capital, making Mother Su a little upset. Therefore, she changed her focus.


Su Yaya calculated the time. If it was progressing successfully, she would have to shoot another two to three months. Therefore, she said, “Soon, soon. After I’m done shooting the scenes, I’ll go back. If something happens, you can call me too.”


Mother Su thought about it and was obliged to this choice. She said, “Then I’ll be waiting at home with your father for you.”


“Ok, ok.” Mother Su answered quickly.


This morning, Su Yaya did her best and then finally got Mother Su off her back, making her agree to not coming over for now.


After she was done with the call, Su Yaya lied in bed. She talked to Mother Su for a while and had to work to ensure that she didn’t notice anything strange about her. It was much more difficult than shooting scenes.


Chen Xiuqi walked into the ward to see her lying in bed weakly, not as spirited as she normally was. He reached over to pat her head. In a gentle voice, he asked, “What’s the matter?”


Su Yaya looked at him and said softly, “I miss my mother.”


Chen Xiuqi followed along and said, “Then I’ll have someone bring them over.”


Su Yaya shook her head and said, “No need. I didn’t tell them that I sprained my ankle. I’m scared that they’ll be worried. If they come over and see me in this shape, it’ll be bad. I’ll go back to visit them after I’m done shooting the drama.”
