Chapter 448 If you like it, chase it boldly

The expert team that Jin Yanchen invited had not left Beijing and held a consultation after completing a physical examination for Lu's mother.

Currently, Lu's mother's condition is relatively stable, but this is only temporary and may worsen at any time. Once it worsens, it will be uncontrollable, so Lu Shengsheng should be mentally prepared.

Lu Shengsheng knew what was going on. She acted relaxed in front of her mother as always, but privately asked Zhao Xuan not to arrange any work for her recently, as she only wanted to focus on spending her mother's last moments with her.

Lu's mother didn't want her to waste time in the hospital every day, so she urged her to read scripts and film more movies so as not to disappoint her fans.

Lu Shengsheng verbally agreed, telling Zhao Xuan to send the script to the hospital and to flip through it occasionally, but she had no intention of actually accepting it.

The movie hasn't been released yet, and she's currently getting more offers for TV dramas. Most of the movie scripts are low-budget productions. In her spare time, Lu's mother flipped through some scripts and found one that seemed pretty good.

"Why don't you try this? I think it would look great in photos," Lu's mother recommended.

Lu Shengsheng craned her neck to look at the script title. She had already read the script; it was a female-themed film with a small-budget production team of newcomers.

"This kind of movie might not even have enough money for marketing and distribution."

She didn't understand some of the traditions and rules of the entertainment industry. It's hard to attract investment for this kind of drama. Without investment, you can't invite famous actors. Even if you manage to film it, theaters won't give it many screenings. Without promotion, it's hard to even break even.

“But I think this script is really good.” Lu’s mother said earnestly, “If it can be filmed, it should encourage many women in difficult situations. You are famous and wealthy now, and as a public figure, you should do things that benefit society and give back to the public.”

Lu Shengsheng paused for a moment, took the script from her hand and looked at it, "Do you really want me to take this script?"

"Mom hopes you can have a career you're passionate about, not just one that makes money, because there's always more money in the world than you can earn."

Lu's mother hoped that she could find something she loved that would sustain her spirit; otherwise, what would she rely on to keep going after she was gone?

“Okay, I’ll think about it.” Lu Shengsheng didn’t agree immediately. After all, given her health condition, she couldn’t join the production team and leave Beijing at this time.

Zhao Xuan was somewhat surprised to learn that she wanted to meet with the director and producer, but she still helped her make the arrangements.

Lu Shengsheng met with the director and producer, who were very eager to collaborate, even saying that if she didn't accept the offer, the film would not be made.

Lu Shengsheng also made her own request.

She can accept the script, but the filming location must be in or near Beijing so that she can visit her mother at any time. In addition, she does not want a salary and wants to cooperate through co-production.

The director and producer had no objections; in fact, they were overjoyed. This way, they could not only save on actor salaries but also have an additional investment.

Lu Shengsheng asked Zhao Xuan to discuss the details of the cooperation and the contract with them, while she went back to the hospital to tell her mother the good news.

Lu's mother was overjoyed to hear this, her eyes filled with anticipation. She wondered when her daughter's last movie would be released and whether she would ever have the chance to sit in the cinema and watch her daughter's movie again.

Lu Shengsheng had asked the director, and the movie was still in post-production editing. The earliest it could be released would be in the second half of the year. Fearing that she would be disappointed, she didn't say anything, but comforted her, "It'll be soon, don't worry, you'll definitely see it."

**
February.

Lu Shengsheng joined the filming crew discreetly. The director and producer, understanding her mother's illness, decided to film most of the scenes near Beijing. Some scenes that required filming in other places were postponed until it was convenient for her.

No matter how tired Lu Shengsheng was from filming on set during the day, she would always rush back to the hospital to be with her mother at night.

Lu's mother couldn't bear to see her working so hard and told her not to come and keep her company, but Lu Shengsheng insisted.

Fortunately, Lu Wenzhou often came to keep her company during the day, and if he was too busy, he would come to visit after get off work. Over time, Lu's mother became more and more satisfied with him, especially after learning that he worked for the government.

On the weekend, Lu Wenzhou, who was off work, came to visit her again. Today the weather was nice, so he helped her go downstairs for a walk.

Lu's mother asked indirectly, "What do you think of our Sheng Sheng?"

Lu Wenzhou: "She's beautiful, acts well, and is a very nice person."

In short, it's great in every way.

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother was overjoyed and then asked, "Do you have feelings for our Sheng Sheng?"

Lu Wenzhou was slightly taken aback, then nodded after a moment of silence. "Yes, you noticed."

"I knew I wouldn't be wrong," Mrs. Lu said with a smile. "Sheng Sheng said it was impossible!"

Lu Wenzhou's eyes narrowed. "You told her?"

Lu's mother nodded. "She said you two are good friends, and you couldn't possibly like her."

Lu Wenzhou pondered, "She's probably afraid of being embarrassed."

Lu's mother asked curiously, "Since you're interested in Sheng Sheng, why don't you pursue her? Before, you were worried about her being married, but now she's divorced."

Lu Wenzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated for a moment, "She doesn't seem to have those feelings for me. I'm afraid if I tell her, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."

“If she’s not interested in you, just keep pursuing her. Once you win her over, that’s all that matters.” Lu’s mother looked at him with encouraging eyes. “Young man, don’t be timid. If you like someone, go for it boldly. Don’t leave yourself with regrets.”

"You... don't mind that I'm crippled?" Lu Wenzhou asked cautiously.

"You can live and work just fine, why would I mind?" Lu's mother said in a nonchalant tone.

Lu Wenzhou lowered his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Sheng Sheng didn't tell you, did she? I'm an illegitimate child."

Mrs. Lu was taken aback; she truly hadn't expected this. But she quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "So what if he's an illegitimate child? An illegitimate child is still a person; it's not like you chose him."

Lu Wenzhou felt a warmth in his heart, "Auntie..."

Mrs. Lu was a little tired from walking. She sat down on a bench, rubbing her sore legs, and slowly said, "I don't have much time left. The only thing I'm worried about now is Sheng Sheng."

"So what if the Gu family is rich and powerful? They treat Sheng Sheng badly, and in my eyes, they're no good. They're not as humane as us from humble families. I just hope that Sheng Sheng has someone who cares about her and loves her from the bottom of his heart. Nothing else matters."

"Then... I'll give it a try?" Since his future mother-in-law had spoken, what reason did he have to back down?

Lu's mother smiled and said, "Yes, you should give it a try."

"It's getting windy, let me help you back to rest." Lu Wenzhou helped her walk back, but unexpectedly they ran into Gu Ronghui.

He saw Lu Wenzhou supporting his mother, his eyes narrowing silently. He stepped forward and called out, "Mom..."

Gu Goubi: Mom, Mom, it's me! Your son-in-law is me!!!

Mother Lu: I'll politely decline~~~ [First Update]
