Old Master Pius Returns Home
1368 Words
Gaus tried the door but found it locked from the inside.
He looked at Rose, “Do you have the key?
”
Rose awkwardly shook her head, “I do, but it’s inside the room.
”
Gaus pinched his brow and spoke in a cold voice, “Tressure, you have three minutes.
If you don’t come out by then, you won’t be coming back here again. ”
After three minutes, there was no sound from inside.
“Tressure, come out!
If you’re expecting me to force you out, then I won’t be so easy on you! ”
Still nothing.
A certain little bun wasn’t giving his father one bit of dignity.
Rose watched from the side and fought the urge to laugh, “I can go to work later, why don’t Little Treasure stay here for a while longer?
”
Gaus’s face turned dark as he pulled out his phone and began to call someone.
Rose took a peek and saw he was calling a psychiatrist.
She was stunned. Was he really calling a psychiatrist over something so small? Wasn’t it making a mountain out of a molehill?
Rose coughed lightly and suggested, “Why don’t you let me try?
”
Gaus hesitated a moment, then nodded.
Rose leaned on the door and used a gentle tone, “Little Treasure, auntie has to go to work later.
I can’t take care of you. Could you go home with Daddy first? ”
Still no response from inside.
“How about this: Let’s exchange phone numbers so we can contact each other whenever we want.
We can even video call! ”
A shaky sound came from inside.
“The director will scold me if Auntie is late.
Our director is really strict, Auntie is so pitiful wuuuuuu……”
The door opened.
Gaus had been ready for a long battle.
His eyes briefly showed surprise. He looked at the woman beside him with a complex expression.
She had managed to get Little Treasure to come out quietly with just a few words.
The last time this happened, Little Treasure had locked himself in the attic at home.
Their whole family, the butlers, maids, even the psychiatrist and a negotiation expert, had all been involved. They finally had to break the door down after talking all day. The result was the little guy ignoring them for an entire month.
Rose was unaware of this incident.
She just thought the child was very obedient. She picked up the little bun. He had been miserable but still came out because he didn’t want to see her get scolded. She praised, “Little Treasure is so obedient, thank you darling! ”
The praised little bun looked a little happier.
He quietly handed her a piece of paper with a string of numbers on it.
Rose received the note, “Eh?
Is this your phone number? Great, I’ll save it. I’ll definitely call you when I have time! ”
Gaus thought something was off.
Little Treasure didn’t have a phone, so where did he get that number?
He looked over, using his height advantage, and saw it was his own phone number.
Not bad, as expected of his son!
Martha was furious in the office. “Rose auditioned and got the role of supporting female lead! ”
“Supporting female lead? ” Elly frowned. “Wasn’t she just in an unknown movie playing a tiny role? How could she have time to audition for a major role like this? ”
“I thought the same at first. I found out some things about yesterday’s audition for the lead female role. The judges were about to leave when they accidentally saw Rose. They thought she was perfect for the role and decided on the spot. That’s why you were so careful around her. This Rose is really tricky. Even after the auditions were over, she still managed to influence the judges. Who knows which judge she was trying to win over! ”
Martha didn’t say anything more. Rose’s appearance was a powerful tool. It wouldn’t surprise her if one of the judges had developed feelings for her.
She had planned to carefully mentor Rose when she first signed her. Who knew Elly would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
On one side was a rookie with no connections. On the other side was a popular artist with a big family. The choice was clear. In the entertainment world, it wasn’t just looks that mattered.
Elly looked down. “Even though it’s not the lead, this movie is a big production! ”
Anyone listening could tell she didn’t want Rose to get the role.
Martha was a bit worried. “I’m afraid there might be some problems. The company put a lot of money into this movie. The boss who owns the company would be happy if both the lead and supporting roles are from our company. If there was someone else better, we could replace Rose. But no one else passed the audition. Now we don’t have a reason to remove Rose……”
Elly seemed to think of something and then calmed down. She touched her neatly painted nails and laughed. “Forget about it. If she wants to play the fox spirit, then let her do it. A seductress who caused the fall of a nation—this role is perfect for her! ”
……
Rose got a call from Martha right away, telling her that she had been cast as the supporting lead in Land Under Heaven. She had to start preparing.
The movie Land Under Heaven showed the female lead using good qualities to help the male lead take the throne. Meanwhile, the supporting female lead used bad methods, made enemies, and was eventually forced to jump off a cliff, making people happy.
That’s why Elly was so willing to let her take on this role.
Even though she got the supporting role in Land Under Heaven, Rose still had more work to do. She had to film another role, that of a mistress who stole a man’s husband. There was only a five-minute scene left. She would be surrounded by a group of people who would beat her for five minutes.
Actually, filming that five-minute part took two hours. The people playing the crowd were new and their actions didn’t match their expressions. She had to be hit repeatedly.
After returning home, Rose turned on the TV and sat on the sofa, exhausted.
She felt like she had forgotten something after lying down for a while.
The TV was showing the news, and a familiar face appeared on screen.
That incredibly beautiful face, those broad shoulders, slim waist, long legs, and strong personality—could it be anyone else but Gaus, little bun’s father!
Gaus seemed to be at a contract signing event, shaking hands with some foreigners.
The host was excitedly talking about how the Gaus Corporation had signed a deal with an Italian brand and was entering the European market. Their stock could double.
Rose suddenly remembered. She had forgotten to call little Bun!
……
In the Platinum Palace,
The Gaus parents had returned from overseas, and the whole family was having dinner together.
The Gaus Corporation was about to finalize a major contract they had been planning for three years. Old Master Pius was very happy and praised Gaus a lot, even giving Gerrald some praise.
But the main topic came up toward the end.
His words were something like: Work is important, but your precious grandson is even more important!
Old Master Pius: “Gaus, work is important, but you can’t forget about Little Treasure. You’ve finished the busy part of work, so spend more time with Little Treasure! ”
Old Madam Pius: “Find someone to help take care of Little Treasure if you really don’t have time. Little Treasure has grown so much already. You should also think about your own personal life! ”
Old Master Pius: “Your mother is right! ”
Gerrald gave his brother a subtle look. Their parents were starting to play this game again.
Gaus kept eating and said nothing.
Little Treasure was holding a phone, not moving a single finger. Grammar Check
