Chu Xi immediately played along with Li Sulan, supporting her with one hand while waving at Director Sun with the other.
"Director Sun, I'm really sorry, but my mom seems a bit unwell. Could I stay with her for now?"
[I feel like Li Sulan is pretending to be sick. The way she looks is exactly how I used to act to feign period pain and skip class.]
[I feel the pain is superficial too; she probably just doesn't want to work and made up an excuse.]
[Stop with the conspiracy theories. What if she really is unwell? Does she need to collapse and foam at the mouth to prove it to you?]
Director Sun furrowed his brow, hurriedly handing a pen and paper to an assistant before jogging over with small steps.
"Mrs. Chu, is it serious? I'll call the on-set doctor right now to check on you."
"No need, no need!" Li Sulan waved her hand quickly. "Low blood sugar, an old problem. Just let me rest a bit; no need to bother the doctor."
"Well… alright then."
