After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Bewildered Director Liu
Yu Ze escorted them to the nearest hospital. Zhouzhou, holding a candy, was happily eating, with the black cat lounging on her shoulder, squinting contentedly.

She was unharmed, except for the slight injury Huo Ji’an sustained from the kick. The blow landed on his abdomen, and now, as he lifted his shirt, the bruising underneath was revealed.

Yu Ze felt a pang of heartache instantly, feeling somewhat guilty for not taking better care of him. It was because of him that Huo Ji’an was injured.

Seeing him like this, Huo Ji’an turned around and comforted him, “Dad, I’m fine. Chubby girl gave those two a harsher beating than they gave me, so I’ve been avenged.”

Upon seeing the bruise on his stomach, Zhouzhou couldn’t continue enjoying her candy. She gingerly touched it with her chubby paw, then patted her head in remorse.

“Sorry, Little Skinny Pole, I shouldn’t have left,” she said. If she had been there, no one would have dared to bully him.

Huo Ji’an, however, was unconcerned. “I’m really fine, Dad. I’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

At this point, the test results were also out. The doctor glanced at them and said everything was fine, without prescribing any medication, and let them leave. Just normal bumps and bruises for a child.

Even so, Yu Ze couldn’t help but worry. He didn’t let Huo Ji’an leave, holding him close and advising, “Tell Dad immediately if anything feels uncomfortable.”

“Yeah!” Huo Ji’an nodded vigorously, his face beaming with smiles.

Zhouzhou took out a bottle from her bag and handed it to him. “Little Skinny Pole, apply this on your stomach, and you’ll feel better tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Huo Ji’an didn’t hesitate to accept it. He knew how effective her medicine was.

Yu Ze also patted her head, pondered for a moment, and asked, “Dinner together?”

It just so happened that Director Liu was also looking for him soon.

“Sure.” Zhouzhou naturally wouldn’t refuse food. She called Qin Lie, telling him not to worry, as Yu Ze would take care of them. After hanging up, she followed him to a restaurant.

Having had meals with Zhouzhou before, Yu Ze knew she was a vegetarian and ate a lot, so he ordered all the vegetarian dishes in the restaurant.

Before long, Director Liu arrived, alone.

Seeing Yu Ze, he walked over directly and, looking at the table full of dishes, paused for a moment. “Why did you order so much? I can’t finish it all. Extravagance and waste are not good.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou, who was eating cake, raised her little head, with a circle of cream still sticking to her mouth, and said, “Uncle, it won’t be wasted. I can finish it.”

Hearing this, Director Liu was also surprised. He glanced at Zhouzhou with some astonishment but didn’t say anything.

He quickly shifted his gaze to Yu Ze and, after a moment of thought, spoke directly, “I won’t hide it from you. Your acting skills are unanimously considered the best among all the candidates.”

Years ago, he was the actor all directors had high hopes for. He wasn’t trained formally, but his acting was incredibly natural, a truly gifted player. With time, winning a major award was not out of the question.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Ze remained unassuming, nodding lightly and calmly waiting for what would come next.

Seeing his expression, Director Liu couldn’t help but smile wistfully. “You are always like this.” His tone was filled with regret.

He shook his head, sighed, and continued, “In this industry, you know, it’s all about appearances, and your face…”

He paused, his gaze falling on the scar on Yu Ze’s face, furrowing his brows slightly.

“In this case, I also know you’re facing financial difficulties. I’ll foot the bill myself. You should find a cosmetic surgeon and get rid of the scar on your face.”

However, the scar looked quite deep, probably not treated properly, so it appeared rather grim. It might not be completely treatable.

As for the rest, there was no need to worry. With makeup, covering it up wouldn’t be a big issue.

He couldn’t help but ask, “How did you get this injury? Was it inflicted by someone else? Did you report it?”

Upon hearing this question, Yu Ze’s fingers twitched.

Huo Ji’an also looked over, worried.

Zhouzhou moved her cheek slightly and shook her head. “No, Uncle Yu did it himself.”

The direction of wounds inflicted by oneself versus those inflicted by others is different, which is noticeable.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu was taken aback. “What?” He looked at Yu Ze in astonishment, his gaze questioning.

Seeing this, Yu Ze nodded silently.

In an instant, Director Liu was dumbfounded, staring blankly and asking, “Why?”

Yu Ze didn’t speak, but he touched Huo Ji’an’s head, glanced at the two children, and shook his head. “It’s okay, it’s all in the past.”

Those things were too dirty, and he didn’t want to speak of them and taint the children’s ears.

In fact, besides Lin Wan, there were many others who were interested in his face. After being set aside, the company directly sent him to a rich woman’s bed.

With the medication, he was powerless to resist and could only ruin his own appearance with a knife.

The rich woman found it distasteful and didn’t lay a hand on him. But since then, he had been completely blacklisted.

Seeing his expression, Director Liu probably guessed what was going on. He sighed, unwilling to comment on these matters within the industry.

“Then let’s go with what I just said. What do you think? Do you want to play the lead role in my movie?” Since he mentioned having dinner with him, Yu Ze had already guessed the outcome.

Otherwise, why would Director Liu, such a prestigious figure, need to waste words with someone who had been shelved for years?

The fact that he was willing to use him in this situation was indeed moving, but he also didn’t want to spend his own money.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhouzhou suddenly said, “I can treat it.”

All eyes turned to her.

Huo Ji’an’s eyes lit up. “Yeah! Chubby girl’s medicine works wonders. It can definitely heal Dad too!”

Upon hearing this, Director Liu was somewhat skeptical. He shook his head and said, “Let’s go to a proper hospital.”

What kind of talk was that?

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened suddenly, and she said seriously, “Our Sanqing Temple is very legitimate too!”

She had learned legitimate medical skills as well.

Sanqing Temple? She learned from a Taoist temple?

For a moment, Director Liu looked at her with even more suspicion, feeling that she was even less legitimate now.

He shook his head and said, “If medication is needed, it’s better to go to Shennong Hall. Doctor Liu there is a relative of mine outside the five districts. I can talk to him, and he has developed quite a few good medicines recently. I’ll ask him if he can treat it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes darted around, and she pressed a button on her phone watch, making a call.

She simply said for him to come over. Thinking she was calling her family, Director Liu didn’t pay much attention.

However, not half an hour later, someone suddenly walked in from outside.

Director Liu immediately recognized him as Doctor Liu from Shennong Hall. He was the one who had cured his headaches.

He was somewhat surprised and said with a hint of joy, “Uncle, why are you here?”

However, Doctor Liu didn’t even look at him. He strode directly to Zhouzhou and respectfully said, “Master, are you looking for me?”

Director Liu looked bewildered at this scene. “???”

Who was he calling master?

What did he call her?

Who was his master?
