Part Two, *East Earth Big Sugar*, Chapter 195: Dong Yao

t a second solution" "A second solution would be if Mr. Wu could win custody of the child. In that case, Ms. Sang would have to pay you child support every month." 。"That means going the opposite wa...“No matter what, don't meet him alone again. If he's single, it's fine, but if he has a family, you'll be in hot water even if you jump into the Yellow River.”

Li Liao nodded, she wouldn't see him again. Before, when they met a few times, he always said that he was his father's subordinate and came to Senzhou to visit her.

She didn't suspect anything. Her background was a dark secret; since she was little, the person who took care of her and her mother was an subordinate of her father. That subordinate retired a couple of years ago, so she thought it was just her father finding a new contact person.

Xiao Cai told Yao Yao the contents of the conversation truthfully and said, "Whether it's true or not, she promised that she wouldn't see Zhao Zong again after this."

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Yaoyao hung up the phone, and immediately knew that Zhao Tingxing had deliberately started a scandal with Liao Liao. Since he could find Liao Liao, he must know her background.

Since YaoYao already knew LiaoLiao's background, she figured out Zhao Tingxing's purpose faster than Han Li.

She then thought of Gu Ruandong being in the capital recently, as well as Lu Kuo's previous run-in with the Senbing Group. A thousand thoughts swirled in her head, her mind led astray by countless threads, but she quickly untangled the connections between them.

Zhao Tingxing did this in order to remind or even threaten Minister Liao. ;

What was his real purpose in painstakingly arranging for Zhang Ze to take a job in Beijing and meet Minister Liao

Want to seize control of Senbing Group from Gu Ruandong

He had been eyeing it for a long time, ever since Gu Ruandong took Lu Kuo to the southwest to take over that mining company. He had never come with good intentions.

His company has several heavy metal mining companies under it. It is likely that they previously cooperated with the Senbing Group, and after Gu Ruandong took over Senbing, their financial resources were cut off directly.

He really went all out, meticulously planning every step.

During the filming break, she called Gu Ruandong to confirm if her guess was correct.

Gu Ruandong almost answered immediately, his voice laced with amusement: "Missing me It's only morning now."

Several days apart, we relied on phone calls and video chats to ease the longing, so he never hesitated to express his love.

Being serious and thinking about serious topics, Yao Yao felt her heart slightly relax upon hearing his relaxed tone. She followed his lead and said, "Of course, wouldn't I think of you all the time Morning, afternoon, evening, constantly."

The other party was speechless for a moment: "When do you want to the most"

She replied truthfully, "Evening."

Then, he heard the other person’s breath catch. “Yaoyao, I'll be done soon and come see you.”

She asked, "What are you busy with"

"Company matters."

"Is this about Zhao Tingxing He's been getting close to LiaoLiao lately." She said bluntly.

"Did you know"

"Probably guessing, Zhao Tingxing's initial purpose of coming to Senzhou to find you was finally for the Senbing Group, right"

"Hmm." Gu Ruantong wasn't surprised that Yao Yao could guess. With a piece of cake as big as the Senbing Group falling into his hands, besides Zhao Tingxing, many other forces were also coveting it.

Back then, when the Senbing Group was at its most turbulent, he used some means to seize control quickly and decisively. Now that the situation has stabilized and all parties, the snakes and scoundrels, have regained their strength, they are coming up with crooked schemes again, so things are indeed not looking optimistic.

Yao Yao wanted to ask him, "Are you having a hard time Are you tired of dealing with these people What are your chances of winning"

But then she thought, she couldn't help anyway. Asking this would only increase his anxiety and wouldn't solve any problems. So she changed her words: "Honey, you've worked hard. I love you."

Gu Ruandong smiled and said, "I love you."

After hanging up the phone, he went to film.

Her recent role was a big challenge for her. She played a college student who was kidnapped and kept in a small, dark room. All she could do was watch the outside world through a crack in the walls of the shack.

It's a real test of her acting skills because these scenes have no dialogue partners and no lines, relying purely on her body language, especially the expression in her eyes.

The light in her eyes was layered, shifting with the interplay of light and shadow through the slit. Her gaze progressed from initial panic to a sense of calm, then hope, disappointment, and finally despair, each layer conveying the depths of her inner world.

It all relies on acting skill, which is a big challenge for the actors. However, these scenes are crucial to the entire film, so before filming them, she and Chen Ling discussed them many times.

She was very sorry, like tearing open Chen Ninghui's wounds again and again, but Chen Ninghui didn't care at all. Even before the filming began, she traveled a long distance to come to the county and stayed with her for two days, telling her about her true experiences and genuine inner feelings, helping her establish the character's psychology.

Their first encounter was at a fundraising speech, where she presented a sunny and resilient side, lightly touching upon that experience.

However, when reminiscing with Yaoyao, dissecting that period, many hidden details came rushing back, still achingly painful.

"Yaoyao said, 'I understand. It's okay. Actually, I have cowardly moments too and there are many things I don't dare to face. But I think true courage isn't about challenging difficulties, it's about facing what has already happened. I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.'"

Because of Chen Ning's help, Yaoyao's understanding of the characters far surpasses that of even the screenwriter or director. Therefore, in these scenes, as long as she stands in front of the camera, whether it's her body movements or her eyes, it's acting, yet it transcends acting. She is the character, and the character is her.

After hanging up the phone that morning, Gu Ruandong immediately flew to the set to see her. When he arrived, it was afternoon. Yaoyao had just finished filming the last desperate scene. Because she had fully immersed herself in Xiao Ning's role, she couldn't get out of character for a long time and sat in a corner of that small black room to recover. The director and other staff members stayed with her and didn't go over to disturb her.

So, when Gu Ruandong arrived, he'd intended to give her a surprise, but instead found her looking like such a pitiful little thing. Though he knew she was acting, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

The light inside was still dim. Gu Ruandong walked over and hugged her. Lu Yaoyao stiffened, feeling the familiar scent. She looked up and saw that it really was him. The gloom in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by surprise as she embraced him: "How did you come here"

The atmosphere on set just now is gone, where's the need to slow down

"Didn't you miss me"

He was referring to the phone call that morning. Just like countless times before, she could appear before him at any time, whenever she wished, and surprise him.

A few steps away, Shanshan shook her head after hesitating to disturb her. Luckily, Shao Gu only arrived after filming the few scenes of heartbreak drama, as there were scenes of characters plotting their escape afterwards. Otherwise... she wouldn't be able to film the heartbreaking scenes in this state.

When Lu Yao met Gu Ruandong, she was instantly pulled back to reality, hugging him tightly. Gu Ruandong had to maintain her star image: "There are cameras."
