Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 9 The Female Supporting Character's House Collapses
It's impossible for Li Sui to give up the opportunity to make money just because of a sudden piece of news from Li Ping.

This wasn't the first time Li Ping had insulted her; she knew her own mother well.

After hanging up the phone, the martial arts choreographer informed Zhou Jiao that filming her action scenes was about to begin.

Li Sui wanted to go up and test the camera first.

She handed her phone to the weaver.

Weaver Girl wasn't really interested. She had only arrived today, and there was so much modern information available that expecting her to master a mobile phone all at once was really asking too much of a demonic sorceress.

Yu Liangliang cautiously observed the weaver from the side.

Then he asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Li Sui?"

Weaver Girl slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Liangliang. Gone was the charming and composed demeanor she had in front of Li Sui; instead, there was a chill that Yu Liangliang couldn't quite describe.

He couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then she heard the weaver ask her, "What is your relationship with Jiao—Li Sui?"

I've always called him "Master," and it feels a bit strange to have to change it now.

"friend."

Seeing that the Weaver Girl didn't seem difficult to talk to, Yu Liangliang squatted down and subconsciously took out her small fan to fan the Weaver Girl.

The weaver has internal strength and is not afraid of the heat at all; not a drop of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

But seeing how sensible this friend of the cult leader was, she unusually refrained from displaying her usual temper.

Aside from the cult leader, she dislikes anyone who approaches her unsolicited.

Back when she was in the Demonic Sect, no one dared to provoke the Weaver Girl.

During those years in the Demonic Sect, my understanding of the sect leader was never deep. Now that I've come to this era, I realize that so many years have passed. Weaver Girl was very curious about the sect leader, so she continued to ask, "How long have you known Li Sui?"

"It's been a long time, we met in high school, it must have been seven or eight years."

Yu Liangliang spoke of the past with composure, and a smile appeared on her lips when she thought of Li Sui: "When I was in high school, I was bullied by others, and it was Li Sui who stepped in to help me. She protected me, and from then on, no one dared to bully me. She was my best friend, and I am very grateful to her."

His words were sincere.

The weaver was also moved: "She really is a kind person..."

When the old cult leader first brought her back, no one in the Demonic Cult expected that she would be so incomprehensible as to lead a group of people who constantly shouted about destroying this era to carry out some kind of new era construction, and even recruit people into the Demonic Cult.

Pick up those ordinary people who are in distress.

At first, people weren't too happy about it, but later they found that the leader always had very novel ideas, so they gradually accepted the change.

I was just chatting with Yu Liangliang when I suddenly heard director Gao Tingzhong say in shock, "What did you say? Her house collapsed?!"

The sound was so loud that everyone present turned to look.

While the weaver was still puzzled, Yu Liangliang, as the agent, had already sensed it and quickly took out her phone.

Suddenly, Li Sui rushed back, sweating profusely, and snatched the fan from Yu Liangliang's hand, fanning herself: "What happened? I heard that an actress who was supposed to act opposite Zhou Jiao had an accident, and filming was suspended right away."

Yu Liangliang glanced at her phone: "It hasn't gone viral yet, but I have a pretty good idea who it is. The supporting actress, Xu Sijia, you know? I found out that someone revealed she used a surrogate, no wonder I haven't seen her all day."

Surrogacy is illegal in China, and getting involved in it basically means you're doomed. Li Sui doesn't usually follow celebrities, and Xu Sijia isn't very famous, so she didn't know who the other person was, but she knew that surrogacy was a sure way to ruin her career.

She was so hot she wanted to take off her armor but couldn't, so she urged Yu Liangliang to go buy her some water: "Where can I buy ice water? Go buy me two bottles. If this actor has a wardrobe malfunction, will he be kicked out of the crew?"

"Definitely." Yu Liangliang, who was well-versed in the industry, knew the seriousness of this matter: "Other things can be handled through public relations, but if the evidence for this is conclusive, she will definitely be kicked out, otherwise the show won't be able to pass. The director will have a headache. It is said that when he was casting this actress, he spent a long time before he could barely find Xu Sijia. Now that this has happened, where will he find someone to take her place?"

"I'll go buy you some water, Li Zhi, would you like some?"

Before the weaver could react, Li Sui said, "Drink it, buy her a bottle of juice to try."

Yu Liangliang went to buy water, and Li Sui took back her phone and, out of boredom, searched for gossip about Xu Sijia.

The director is an insider and gets the news quickly, plus everyone in the crew knows about it. A quick search reveals that it's already starting to gain traction on Weibo.

The hashtag #XuSijiaDY# is trending.

The weaver asked Li Sui slowly, "What does surrogacy mean?"

Li Sui explained it to her simply: "It means your child was born using someone else's womb, but that's illegal because it goes against the woman's will."

The weaver was finally truly shocked by the terrifying nature of modern technology: "Is this even possible? Is a child born from someone else's womb really your own? Isn't it like taking someone else's child and raising it yourself?"

The weaver only remembered that the empresses in the palace used to do this.

Adopting someone else's child is quite normal.

Li Sui shook her head: "It doesn't mean the same thing. It means that your child, except that you didn't give birth to it, has your blood in it."

The weaver looked at my whole family with a shocked expression.

But she was intelligent after all, and immediately realized why it was illegal.

If you can use someone else's womb to give birth, then why give birth yourself?
After all, everyone knows that childbirth is like going through hell for a woman. If those powerful and influential people in the past knew about this, they certainly wouldn't have given birth to their own children.

This will cause suffering to ordinary people.

No wonder it's illegal.

The weaver was simply shocked that such outrageous technology existed in this era.

Of course, Li Sui felt that even if it was outrageous, it couldn't be as outrageous as their internal strength.

While Li Sui was explaining things to the weaver, Gao Tingzhong and the assistant director were also having a headache.

"It's confirmed. Xu Sijia is probably really gone. Evidence has been dug up about the child she was raising abroad. During that period, Xu Sijia was frequently seen in China, and there were photos and videos of her everywhere. There was no sign of her being pregnant at all. She can't deny it."

Gao Tingzhong lit a cigarette: "I went through a lot of trouble to choose her, so what are we going to do now?"

The assistant director said worriedly, "The investors have given us three months. Now we need to find someone to reshoot Xu Sijia's scenes and the remaining scenes. Is there enough time?"

Most importantly, he knew the director's personality.

Whether the role is important or not is no longer the key point.

The key question is, where can we find actors who can satisfy the director?
Gao Tingzhong did not respond.

He smoked a cigarette and, through the rising smoke, saw the weaver squatting there, receiving knowledge of the new era.
