Chapter 454: Return to the Set
Translator: Lonelytree
“Don’t worry… This is nothing serious. There are often small accidents during filming.” Mo Li was quite flustered by Quan Yu’s concern. She didn’t know what to say.
After taking a look at the time, Quan Yu put down the thermos. He reached out to touch Mo Li but he stopped himself. He looked deeply at Mo Li before he stood up and left.
Mo Li was baffled. What is wrong with this man? Did he come back from the capital just to look at me? For some reason, Mo Li’s heart warmed at that thought.
Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the corridor. Jiang Yao’s voice followed, “Li Li! Are you alright?” Jiang Yao entered the room and sat down beside Mo Li’s bed.
“Mom, I’m fine. I left no scar on my face either.” Mo Li said softly. Seeing the crying Jiang Yao, Mo Li did not know what to say.
“Girl! You really know how to make us worry. We wanted to rush over when we saw the news, but your brother came home and told us about your condition. He told us to prepare some food for you first before we come.” Seeing how worried Jiang Yao was, Mo Li lowered her face in shame. Seeing this, Mo Li’s heart softened. “You have to be more careful in the future, okay?” Jiang Yao touched Mo Li’s face, and she was still worried.
“Mom, don’t worry. Plus, it doesn’t even hurt anymore.” Mo Li knew that Jiang Yao was really worried about her, so she consoled her.
“What are you talking about? You needed to have stitches! How can it not hurt? Thankfully, it’s nothing really serious, or you’ll break my heart.” Jiang Yao nudged Mo Li’s forehead with her finger. Then, seeing how tired her daughter was, Jiang Yao pressed her lips and did not say anything else.
When Nie Li came back from her trip to buy some fruits and flowers, she saw Jiang Yao in Mo Li’s ward, and she felt better. Auntie Qiu had stewed clam soup for Mo Li, but Mo Li could only manage a few bites because she just had the porridge and soup from Quan Yu.
“Mrs. Mo, you should go back to rest. I will stay to accompany Mo Li.”
“No, no! Miss Nie, you must be tired already. Our Li Li has already posed so many troubles for you. You shouldn’t need to stay. I will stay to look after her. You should go back to rest!” Jiang Yao didn’t want to trouble outsiders. Plus, she was not comforted leaving her children in the care of another person. Jiang Yao heard about Nie Li’s background, so she didn’t want to trouble her.
“Mrs. Mo, you’re too kind. Just call me Nie Li. I am Mo Li’s manager so I should be working for her. Furthermore, if any reporter comes at midnight, you might not know how to handle them. It’s better than I stay. Plus, Mo Zheng is still recovering, and you need to look after him too. Mo Li’s situation is not that serious. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to distract you away from Mo Zheng.”
Mo Li nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. You should go back to rest. 3rd Brother still needs you to look after him.”
Jiang Yao was eventually persuaded. She told Mo Li a few words, and then she left.
“Now, what should we do? What about the crews?”
“What can we do since this is an accident? We’re already on a time crunch. You still need to shoot Like A Willow. Both Director Peng and Tang Ze are anxious. But you shouldn’t worry about them. You need to focus on your recovery first.” Nie Li looked at Mo Li and said, “This is an accident. It was the martial arts director who got the angle wrong.”
“Okay, don’t worry, I will not pursue this further.” Mo Li didn’t want to make a big deal out of this. Furthermore, she was embarrassed for having dragged down the progress of the shoot.
“So they will film the other characters’ scenes first?” Mo Li asked. For the Witch of Sun and Moon, even though she had a lot of scenes, she could film them later. As for Like A Willow, it had not started filming yet. There was still time.
“Correct, so don’t worry too much about them. We have time to slowly resolve these matters.”
Mo Li blinked and looked at Nie Li, “Did the doctor say when I can be discharged from the hospital?”
“At least a week. And you have to have your brain scanned.” Nie Li knew Mo Li was a doctor, so she didn’t hide or lie.
When Mo Li heard that, she shook her head. “I will leave the hospital tomorrow. The swelling on the forehead can be reduced by applying an ice compress. And then makeup can be used to cover it. I can shoot some individual scenes that don’t require much action.” Mo Li wanted to shoot some high emotional scenes to make up to the crew.
“Impossible, and there is no negotiation.”
