When Chi Shuyan went back, she was a bit depressed when she thought of the awkward scene earlier. However, she also knew that Qi Zhenbai hadn’t been deliberately getting fresh with her. It was purely because her gaze had been too obvious and hot. If it wasn’t for Qi Zhenbai, Village Chief Pan would have long sensed something strange.
For a moment, she didn’t know whether to thank him or be depressed.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming decided which of them would leave the village. The village chief of Dashan Village wasn’t an ordinary person, and they didn’t dare risk tipping him off. Wu Haoming decided that he would leave the village, while Xiao Shan would stay behind to do what Master Chi had asked him to do.
Chi Shuyan had no objections to their decision; it was up to them. When she looked away, she sensed that one person was missing.
Xiao Shan couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, are you looking for President Qi? He just left! Are you already missing him?”
!!
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were friendly by nature. After spending a few days with Chi Shuyan, they had gotten closer, and they even knew how to tease her now.
Chi Shuyan blinked to confirm that she hadn’t heard wrongly. Seeing Wu Haoming’s meaningful and teasing gaze, she didn’t know how to resolve this misunderstanding. The more she spoke, the worse she seemed to make things.
Chi Shuyan felt a little tired.
At that moment, there was urgent knocking on the door. Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan immediately regained their serious expressions, and Wu Haoming walked over to open the door.
Sure enough, it was Ruan Shenglin standing outside. His manager, Yang Kun, was with him, but Xu Tong was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as the door opened, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun called out anxiously and excitedly, “Master Chi!”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised to see Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun standing at the door, and had Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan let them in.
As soon as they entered, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan automatically stood guard at the door as they closed it. Chi Shuyan was very satisfied with their vigilance as she weled Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun in.
This wasn’t her home, so she had nothing to offer them. She poured them each a cup of tea and had them sit down. At the same time, there was a confused frown on her face. “You didn’t leave?”
She really thought that after Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin’s experience, he would definitely be vigilant and leave immediately when he saw the Buddha statue again. She had even specially given him a warning. She didn’t expect him to bring his wife with him.
Thinking of Xu Tong, she couldn’t help but think of her bulging stomach as well as Village Chief Pan’s strange gaze just now. She had a bad feeling. She frowned and asked, “Why is Mrs. Ruan here?”
Ruan Shenglin naturally knew that Master Chi would ask him this question. As for his wife ing to the village, and the matter of leaving the village, Ruan Shenglin could now accurately describe his current feelings with the phrase ‘crying without tears.’
He didn’t know what to do at all.
Following Master Chi’s advice, he had itched to leave the village immediately that very day and stay as far away from that strange Buddha statue as possible.
It was just that sometimes, things really couldn’t be helped. He had already signed a contract for this movie. If he breached the contract, he would have to pay a penalty fee.
In fact, paying the penalty fee for breaching the contract was a small matter. If it involved an ordinary director, Ruan Shenglin would have immediately broken the contract without a thought. After all, although earning money was good, it was useless if he was dead.
Ruan Shenglin cherished his life very much. However, the director this time was Director Wang. He had a good relationship with Director Wang and couldn’t afford to offend him, and after Ruan Shenglin failed to persuade him to leave the village, he could only follow the director in despair.
Manager Yang Kun also wanted him to leave the village, but Brother Kun had also signed a contract. In addition, he was loyal enough to stay in the village with Ruan Shenglin.
The only thing Ruan Shenglin hadn’t expected was his wife. He had initially mentioned the village to his wife before, and had given her the location.
Later, following Master Chi’s advice, he gave up on the idea of his wife joining him, but he forgot to send a message to his wife to tell her not e over. That was because he had been trying to persuade Director Wang to leave the village with them. Before Director Wang and the others could be convinced, his wife suddenly arrived last night, which had turned him into a stunned and nervous wreck.
His feelings were in chaos not only because of his wife, but also because of the matter of inviting the Buddha statue into the house.
Although he still wasn’t sure what the difference was between this Buddha statue and the strange one that had been at his place, his keen intuition told him that he absolutely couldn’t invite this True Buddha Lord into the house.
Most of the crew, including Director Wang, had already done so. Ruan Shenglin had advised them not to countless times, but Director Wang and the crew didn’t take his words nor this ‘feudal superstition’ seriously; they just told him that they had to respect the customs in this village.
Ruan Shenglin’s heart inexplicably turned cold at the thought that most of the crew had invited the True Buddha Lord in. He felt that if something hadn’t happened to his family before, he would probably have done the same thing. At the thought of inviting that thing into the house, Ruan Shenglin’s scalp turned numb and his heart pounded with fear.
This was why he had e to find Master Chi.
Ruan Shenglin pursed his lips and wasn’t in a hurry to talk about his wife. Instead, he gritted his teeth and suddenly said, “Master Chi, can you e with me to the film crew again sometime? Many of them have invited that True Buddha Lord or whatever in. I think that thing is quite scary. Do you want to take a look?”
