Chapter 101

Ning Xiwei's expression almost represented the mindset of all netizens.

The staff led little Blackie to Chen Yunyao, and little White to Gu Qi.

The director showed a devilish grin and confirmed everyone's guess: "This is the two teacher’s 'blind date'."

Not even human.

Just two dogs.

Ning Xiwei hesitated to speak. In the end, she could only clench her hands into fists and extend them to Gu Qi and Chen Yunyao respectively.

[Hahahaha Ning Xiwei: suddenly lost the ability to organize language jpg.]

[Chen Yunyao's face is full of disbelief]

[Gu Qi... Gu Qi is different, she breathed a sigh of relief hahaha! ]

[Ahem, let me translate it!

Chen Yunyao: What? You actually let me have a blind date with a dog?

Gu Qi: Dog? Dogs are good. Anyway, it’s better than Chen Yunyao. ]

[Laughing so hard, Chen Yunyao is really going to be pissed off]

[Chen Yunyao rejects Gu Qi, while Gu Qi looks down on him (wink)]

[For both of them, isn’t this a kind of fulfillment? ]

Someone had already developed a rebellious streak.

[If they hate each other, I suddenly want to see them forced together]

[+1 above, I like to force melons]

[Don’t be like that, I’m already shipping them a bit]

Of course, more netizens expressed their opinions on this concept——

Don’t understand! And don’t respect!

Gu Qi squatted down and rubbed the little white dog.

The little white dog was very friendly. Barking, it stretched out its claws to paw at Gu Qi’s calf.

Gu Qi asked again: "What is the criteria for winning?”

How do dogs judge their favorite people?

The director said: "It's almost the same. In the end, each of us will hold a dog snack and you are empty-handed. The dog must choose you."

Chen Yunyao: "?"

Gu Qi: "..."

[? ? ? ]

[Does it mean that Gu Qi and Chen Yunyao will build a ‘bond’ with the dog in one day, and train the dog not to be tempted by snacks? ]

[Yes, between snacks and them, the dog must choose them]

[Impossible, my dog ​​has been raised for three years. Usually he sticks to me, but when he sees food, his eyes will light up and he can't stop (holding forehead and smiling bitterly)]

[It’s confirmed, the director team is really making things difficult for me]

This seemed like an impossible task.

Dogs were not people. It was hard for them to resist the temptation of food.

Chen Yunyao realized the difficulty of the task straight away: "How is this possible?"

Gu Qi picked up the puppy: "Got it."

Because they spoke at the same time, the two instinctively looked up at each other. Chen Yunyao looked at Gu Qi with an expression of disbelief: "Are you kidding? How can this be accomplished?"

Gu Qi looked at him and tilted her head slightly: "Give it a try."

Since the production team had given this task, the staff must have tested it in advance and found it successful.

Although she didn't have the confidence to do it, but...

She could play with dogs for a day!

No need to get along with people whom she was unfamiliar with and have awkward ‘blind date’ exchanges. It was great to get along with dogs! Don't even have to talk.

Gu Qi was very satisfied with this pairing, so she didn't care whether Chen Yunyao was happy or not.

Seeing that Gu Qi didn't resist at all, Chen Yunyao felt that it would be embarrassing for him to find reasons to refute alone. Since Gu Qi dared to accept the challenge, why should he, a grown man, drag the matter? It would just let people see him make a fool of himself.

Chen Yunyao grabbed the leash and shortened it, pulling the black puppy to his feet, and reluctantly accepted the arrangement: "... Got it."

*

Xu Nuo greeted Gu Qi enthusiastically and called: "Elder Sister Gu Qi, long time no see."

Gu Qi waved politely, looked at Ning Xiwei, and blinked: "You two, get along well."

"Got it." Ning Xiwei liked Xu Nuo, a well-behaved and sunny boy. One couldn't tell he was Jiang Lechuan's teammate at all.

Knowing that Gu Qi and Ning Xiwei have a good relationship, Xu Nuo patted his chest and promised: "Elder Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Jiang Lechuan rolled his eyes at him: "Don't call so intimate. She is my Elder Sister."

Xu Nuo wasn't angry, only happily stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Lechuan's shoulders: "Elder Bro Jiang usually takes care of me a lot. Your Elder Sister is my Elder Sister."

As an idol, he naturally had a superior face.

With long eyelashes and big eyes, he gave people a sense of exquisite beauty like a doll despite being a boy.

Xu Nuo gave ‘compliments’ with the most sincere eyes, which immediately made Jiang Lechuan flattered and accepted his logic: "Yes, then you can."

[Hahaha, Xu Nuo's mouth is loved by everyone]

[If someone else said this, I might think it’s hypocritical and greasy, but if it’s Xu Nuo, I will believe it]

[In the challenge of not being soft-hearted to Xu Nuo, I persisted for 0.01 seconds and defeated 99% of people. You can try it too! ]

[It's not easy to get along with a rampant little bully like Jiang Lechuan]

[In fact, Jiang Lechuan is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. As long as you go along with his will, he is easy to talk to]

[This is why the whole VE went along with Jiang Lechuan and have fun, but there’s only quarrels with Xu Yanyue, hahaha]

It was lively at this side.

He Quanyi and Meng Sansi had already taken the ‘date fund’ given by the production team and left. The two of them agreed to go to a nearby KTV to sing for a whole day.

Zhizi's partner was very considerate. Seeing that she wasn't used to being alone with people she wasn't familiar with, he took the initiative to find a coffee shop to learn how to make coffee art together. Zhizi was interested in these things, so she naturally agreed.

As for Wenren Jing?

His eyes were on his partner's face.

The female lead of the idol drama, Yu Wan.

She was nearly 1.75 meters tall. She did not have the most popular white flower sweet girl look in the market, nor was she a beauty at first sight. Since her debut, the audience had criticized her for her dull appearance and not being a female lead face. She was too tall and not suitable for the male lead. Recently, she finally turned it over with a hit TV series.

At this moment, her eyes didn't look at Wenren Jing in front of her, but kept looking at Gu Qi.

Wenren Jing looked over.

His Elder Sister stood by the window, holding a puppy in her arms and teasing it with a faint smile on her cold face.

Yu Wan's eyes remained on his Elder Sister's face.

Wenren Jing couldn't tell what she was thinking now, but he felt that something was strange. It was like some kind of intuition.

He coughed.

Yu Wan came to her senses and turned to Wenren Jing, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Wenren Jing smiled politely and asked, "Is there any place you want to go?"

Yu Wan showed a little confusion on her face and seemed to have no idea, "I can go anywhere."

Wenren Jing thought for a while. His eyes fell on the bow tied with a silk scarf on Yu Wan's bag and suggested, "There is a museum nearby. It seems to be a silk exhibition recently. Are you interested?"

Yu Wan nodded, indicating that it was fine.

The only remaining human combination was Jiang Lechuan and Yu Qing.

Jiang Lechuan took the money from the director team and asked Yu Qing dryly: "Where do you want to go?"

Yu Qing pondered for a few seconds: "It's nice here."

After that, he turned his face away to face Gu Qi and stopped looking at Jiang Lechuan.

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Jiang Lechuan said: "Okay, then we'll sit here for a day."

Jiang Lechuan pulled out a chair and sat down again, making it clear that he wanted to fight Yu Qing to the end.

He was slightly irked.

Being with a dog was better than this!

Gu Qi got the task funds from the director. She picked up the puppy and called out to Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan: "I'm leaving first."

Jiang Lechuan wanted to follow Elder Sister, but was stopped by the director team and told to take action with his partner.

Frustration covered Jiang Lechuan’s face.

Yu Qing stood up, "If I follow your elder sister with you, it shouldn't violate the rules."

Jiang Lechuan's eyes lit up.

He felt a little guilty. Did he misunderstand Yu Qing before?

Yu Qing could tell that he wanted to play with the puppy with Elder Sister and offered to accompany him. He was actually a kind person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

Director team: "?"

Although it wasn't their plan for three people and a dog to go out together, it didn't violate their rules.

So they could only choose to remain silent.

They watched Yu Qing and Jiang Lechuan follow Gu Qi happily.

Mu Yuan was the only guest left in the room.

Mu Yuan was too lazy to go through the motions and asked directly, "What is my mission?"

Their words were ambiguous at the beginning. In fact, it wasn't a blind date between a man and a woman. It was obviously unnecessary to leave him here unless he had another mission.

Sure enough. The director didn't hide it and announced directly: "Mu Yuan, you have a special identity -

Relationship wrecker.

As the name suggested, one could join any group and snatch other people's mission targets. Mission targets could be accumulated and there was no upper limit."


Chapter 102

For Mu Yuan, the question now was how to choose.

The boy lowered his eyes and pondered a bit. He didn't want to do this task.

Whether it was to take the initiative to talk to others or to get others give up their pairing and choose him, it was too difficult for Mu Yuan.

So Mu Yuan thought about it and decided to perfunctorily deal with the production team.

He said: "Understood."

He pretended to look at the situation of each group first and then muddle through until the time was up.

En, that was the plan.

＊

Gu Qi led the puppy and the puppy wagged its tail.

The sun was bright, and the weather was quite good. She squinted happily and her mood soared.

It was just...

Gu Qi looked back at the two followers behind her and asked, "Are you going this way too?"

Jiang Lechuan and Yu Qing stopped at the same time.

Yu Qing looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.

Jiang Lechuan showed a surprised expression: "Oh, Elder Sis, what a coincidence."

Gu Qi: "..."

Such fake acting! Fortunately Jiang Lechuan wasn't an actor.

She didn't understand what Jiang Lechuan was doing nor she could figure out what craziness got to him.

Since Jiang Lechuan didn't say anything, she didn't bother to ask.

She rubbed the dog's chin and found that the fur was a little tangled, so Gu Qi ignored the two little tails following behind her and took the dog to the nearest pet store. She bought some pet toys and snacks, and made an appointment to take it back for a bath later.

The dog was very well behaved.

It didn't move when held by the staff and would only wag its tail at Gu Qi when seeing the snacks and toys it likes.

She missed the dog at home a little.

Gu Qi pursed her lips, paying attention to the situation of the dog in front of her and thinking how after the filming of the filming, she could take out the younger brothers with the dogs for a trip.

Very quickly.

The puppy gobbled up the snacks that Gu Qi fed him, which were a few pieces of freeze-dried food. This quickly shortened the distance between the person and the dog.

Gu Qi held the puppy in her arms. As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang Lechuan and Yu Qing again.

The two hadn't left yet.

During Gu Qi’s absence, Jiang Lechuan found Yu Qing an eyesore again and took back his thought that Yu Qing was a good person.

Because——

This man was a mute!

No matter what he said, Yu Qing ignored him. Even if he responded, it was simple words like ‘en’, ‘oh’, and ‘ah’, which was more perfunctory than Mu Yuan.

So boring! He didn't want to stay with Yu Qing! Why didn't Elder Sister come out? !

So anxious!

The moment they saw Gu Qi go out, they suddenly had a strange tacit understanding.

One looked up at the sky and the other looked down, pretending that Gu Qi couldn't see them.

[Hahaha, two door gods are enough]

[Gu Qi's face is full of confusion - don't you have your own things to do? ]

[@Mu Yuan, come here, tell Yu Qing not to choose Jiang Lechuan but you. He will definitely agree to you]

Helplessness washed over Gu Qi. She could only walk over and ask: "What's going on with you?"

Yu Qing frowned, looked at Gu Qi, and suddenly said: "Your acting is great."

Gu Qi: "......?"

Ah?

It was so abrupt.

Gu Qi could only respond politely: "Really? Thank you."

Perhaps because Gu Qi's tone was questionable, Yu Qing added: "I have seen all your debut works, I like your aura very much. I wish you can achieve higher achievements in the road of acting."

A very serious conversation.

It was so serious that it seemed a bit abrupt in a variety show.

[? Ah, Yu Qing, have you waited until now to say this? ]

[It was so sudden, but looking at Yu Qing's expression, I can feel the sincerity]

After Yu Qing finished speaking, he nodded to Gu Qi without waiting for her reaction and turned to walk in another direction.

No one noticed.

He was so nervous at the moment that he was walking with his limbs moved simultaneously.

He said it.

Finally said it!

He liked Gu Qi's performance very much. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was his idol.

Whether it was the supporting role full of life to the point of being dazzling when Gu Qi debuted, or the famous super rotten movie, her acting skills were always online.

It was because he had watched many of Gu Qi's scenes that he became interested in the media industry such as movies and TV series. And thus chose the major of director and editor and entered the entertainment industry.

This was his first time meeting Gu Qi.

Last night, he rehearsed countless times in his mind how to ‘confess’ to Gu Qi, but the effect didn’t amount to much.

He was an unknown director and had no representative works. How could he comment on Gu Qi in a tone like a senior?

Yu Qing covered his eyes with one hand to hide the regret in his heart.

It was completely different from his expectation. What a failure.

Still.

Seeing that Yu Qing finally left, Jiang Lechuan thought that he had finally made it and a happy smile spread on his face: "Great, I finally don't have to be with that stinky-faced monster. Elder Sis, next..."

Jiang Lechuan's smile didn't last for a few seconds.

Because after the director team discovered this scene, they immediately sent a task prompt to Jiang Lechuan through the earphone to Get him follow Yu Qing.

The reason was mentioned before, each pair of partners must stay together and cannot be separated.

Jiang Lechuan's face fell instantly.

Gu Qi patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, go quickly and get along well with others, okay?"

Go quickly.

Let her have peace for a while.

Jiang Lechuan wanted to resist, but Gu Qi could only mouth to him: King.

Jiang Lechuan might not be willing to listen to the rules of the production team.

However, the servants must obey the tasks issued by the king.

Jiang Lechuan: "... Got it."

Reluctant, he could only follow Yu Qing.

＊

Gu Qi bought a large bag of food and brought the puppy to the pet park.

Her plan was very simple.

First, let the puppy get tired, then let the puppy eat, and finally let the puppy get used to lying in her arms to rest.

In this way, even if the puppy was tempted by countless people with pet snacks, it may choose her if it was full.

Even if it didn't choose her.

As long as the puppy was tired and didn't want to eat, it wouldn't stick to others, so it shouldn't be considered a loss.

After all, the difficulty of this task was too high. Gu Qi could only adapt with the mentality of giving it a try.

If she loses, so be it.

It was not a loss to play with the puppy for a day.

So she perked up again.

She threw the ball into the distance, watching the puppy running freely on the grass.

Soon, she saw Chen Yunyao approaching with the puppy and a large group of people following him.

This was the nearest large park and was famous for its pet-friendly nature. So it was normal for them to have the same thought.

Perhaps he wanted to show off to Gu Qi, Chen Yunyao pretended not to see Gu Qi and led these people to a position very close to her before stopping and rehearsing.

Gu Qi curiously leaned over to see what Chen Yunyao was going to do.

Chen Yunyao and the group of people surrounded the black puppy in the middle, and everyone held snacks in their hands to lure the puppy.

The puppy wagged its tail and went to eat the snacks excitedly, but was ‘tricked’ again and again.

When it walked in front of everyone, the other party would immediately clench their fists and refuse to feed it.

The puppy tilted its head, its black grape-like eyes were filled with confusion, and it whimpered in grievance.

At this time, Chen Yunyao waved at it and fed it the snacks in his hand.

It instantly dawned on Gu Qi.

She was a little annoyed that she had not thought of this method.

Chen Yunyao was training the puppy.

The director team had clearly stated that the final test would be a group of people holding snacks to attract the puppy, but the puppy had to firmly choose itself.

So Chen Yunyao was simulating that scene in advance. This way, the puppy would continue to run into obstacles when facing these people who ‘beckon’ it with snacks.

Repeating this process constantly, the puppy would subconsciously remember that when a group of people were holding snacks in their hands and surrounded it in a circle, only Chen Yunyao was the one who would really give it food. This way, it would run to him without hesitation.

Even if Chen Yunyao didn't have food in his hand at that time.

Because the puppy had received food from him so many times and as long as Chen Yunyao had some food residue on his hands, it would still believe that it could get food from him.

[Oh my god, Chen Yunyao's trick is really clever]

[Chen Yunyao said in a previous interview that he had a house full of cats and dogs when he was studying abroad. It seems that he really has experience]

[Okay, this time I declare that Chen Yunyao has a little brain in his body]

Chen Yunyao gazed at Gu Qi.

He didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was expressing-

He won this time.

On the other side.

Mu Yuan was strolling on the street and ran into Wenren Jing and Yu Wan who were waiting for transport to go to the museum.

Wenren Jing didn't know that Mu Yuan had a special mission, or he didn't care at all. Seeing that he was alone, he directly called him: "Where are you going? If you have nothing to do, come with us."

After saying that, Wenren Jing turned to Yu Wan and unnecessarily asked her opinion: "You don't mind?"

Naturally, Yu Wan shook her head.

Mu Yuan was about to say no and leave, but Wenren Jing strode over and grabbed his wrist: "Let's go, don't be reserved. My academic master Younger Brother will be our tour guide!"

Mu Yuan: "?"

He didn't think that he and Wenren Jing were so familiar with each other that they didn't need to be reserved at all.

It was like being forced to perform at the dinner table during the New Year.

The Silk Exhibition was closed.

They could only temporarily change to another nearby museum.

They stood in front of various cultural relics. To those unknown, they assume they were exchanging appreciation. In fact, their conversation was-

In front of the porcelain.

Mu Yuan thought: "Elder Sister seems to have a similar one at home."

Yu Wan was curious: "Does Gu Qi like this?"

Wenren Jing interrupted: "I bought it on Taobao for 19.9 with free shipping."

In front of the incense burner.

Yu Wan stopped: "I remember Gu Qi posted a lot of aromatherapy on Weibo."

Mu Yuan nodded: "En, Elder Sister has trouble sleeping."

Wenren Jing: "That one was bought by me. It's very expensive. It costs 299."

In front of the hairpin. Yu Wan: "Gu Qi's previous costume drama..."

...

[Actually, I think...you three have to nothing to talk about]

[Yu Wan: Gu Qi...Mu Yuan: Yes, Elder Sister...Wenren Jing: I bought it]

[It’s hilarious. They are even more exaggerated before Mu Yuan came. Yu Wan kept talking about Gu Qi. Wenren Jing tried to change the topic several times but failed. In the end, he could only latch onto Mu Yuan to save the situation and change the topic]

[I didn't expect the situation to become worst, hahaha]

Some people fell into awkwardness.

[So why do we have to talk about Gu Qi? Is Yu Wan a fan of Gu Qi? ]

[Welcome everyone to watch the Gu Qi fan meeting]

Mu Yuan didn't like to keep talking about topics related to Elder Sister with people he met for the first time, but he couldn't tell any lies, so he could only choose to slip away.

Only Wenren Jing and Yu Wan were left to stare at each other. Both of them showed extremely polite smiles that were only used in the entertainment industry.

Some netizens made a sharp screech.

[@Mu Yuan, Why are you running? Wenren Jing is so uncooperative. If you stay and talk more with Yu Wan about your elder sister, she will definitely choose you]

[Please understand, this is the first time for the child to be a third party. He has no experience]

Mu Yuan wanted to escape, but he couldn't. He felt that the world was so dangerous.

Because he went out and before he walked two blocks, he suddenly heard someone calling his name above his head.

When Mu Yuan looked up, He Quanyi was sticking her head out of the window and called to him enthusiastically: "Younger Brother Mu Yuan! Come up!"

Mu Yuan: "..."

He could vaguely tell that He Quanyi and Elder Sister were barely friends.

The problem was that he wasn't familiar with the other party at all.

Why did she call him for no reason? What’s more, she was so enthusiastic.

Mu Yuan was confused and realized that there was something amiss behind this.

Because he wasn't familiar with He Quanyi, he could not refuse her and could only go upstairs with reluctance.

It would be better if he didn't go upstairs as he regretted it more once he went upstairs.

Mu Yuan sat on the sofa with a fruit plate and snacks in front of him.

Meng Sansi was a famous host and the dream lover of countless middle-aged women. Even Mu Yuan's mother liked to watch his show.

His appearance and voice were very gentle, giving people a sense of easy-going, but his singing was so different that it sounded like killing a pig.

At this moment, he was singing a high note like a drake screaming, while putting another microphone in Mu Yuan's hand, inviting him to sing with him.

Mu Yuan seemed on the spot. He Quanyi had already escaped to the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet to hide for a while, leaving him alone here to become Meng Sansi's target.

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Mu Yuan's forehead. His brain was spinning rapidly to find a reason to escape.

Just as he was thinking, his shoulder was slapped by Meng Sansi, who was holding the microphone and dancing: "Why are you distracted and not singing? You don't know this song? Oh, it's okay, change it! Do you young people listen to this..."

[Mu Yuan's back is very straight, as if he is ready to run away at any time]

[No, he can fall straight down]

[Mu Yuan, I will give you another trick. If you praise Teacher Meng's singing at this time, he will definitely become your brother on the spot, not to mention the final choice]

[What's the point of thinking about winning or losing at this time? Mu Yuan's face about to white]

[Teacher, our Mu Yuan seems to be suffering from a mental attack and is about to die]

Mu Yuan: "..."

Mu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the window with a complex gaze.

He finally understood why He Quanyi was lying there and calling his name earlier.

Because he wanted to jump off the building now.

＊

**WARNING - BELOW CONTAIN SENSITIVE COTENT; SEXUAL ASSAULT. PLEASE READ WITH YOUR OWN CAUTION**

Chen Yunyao left with the group of people very quickly.

Gu Qi met a good few middle-aged and elderly people who were out playing with their pets in the park.

A few puppies were running freely on the grass and their tails wagging in the wind. Led by one of the parents to play together, they ran from the grass to the ground like balls of wool.

Gu Qi laid on the hammock they prepared, listening to their popular science knowledge of raising pets.

Though Gu Qi didn't talk much, the middle-aged people were enthusiastic and talkative. Gu Qi only needed to listen to their chat carefully and was responsible for nodding. If she didn't understand something, she would get a warm answer at any time.

The aunt who led the group even laid a mat on the ground, pretending to have a picnic here.

During the chat, Gu Qi learned that they all met while volunteering at a stray pet home nearby. Some of their puppies were adopted from there.

One of the youngest tall and thin women glanced at the camera team following Gu Qi. She was about the same age as Gu Qi.

The other aunties and uncles were a little older. They knew that their every move would be on TV, but they didn't know how popular Gu Qi was among young people, how high the broadcast volume of this variety show was, and what a rare opportunity this was.

So, the woman who had been taciturn from beginning to end stood up and took the initiative to pour a glass of orange juice for Gu Qi. She tried to make her voice gentler, "It's an elderly who adopted a lot of small animals. You can go with us to see them.".

When she said this, she was prepared to be rejected.

After all, the other party was a popular big star. How could she have so much free time? Maybe she would find a place like the stray pet home dirty and messy and would definitely refuse.

Sure enough.

Gu Qi frowned slightly, looking like she was lost in thought.

The woman's glimmer of hope was shattered.

Sure enough, it was wishful thinking.

There wasn't much hope in the first place.

Forget it...

Gu Qi looked at the little white dog she brought with some concern, "It's a bit rude to say this, but I'm worried that bacteria will affect my dog."

The woman lowered her head and met Gu Qi's gaze.

She thought she was a high and cold female star. Although she said something that sounded like she was rejecting her, her eyes were full of expectations. It almost wrote ‘I really want to go, but what if it affects the dog? Think of a solution quickly.’ on her face.

It was a bit cute.

The woman couldn't hold it back. Her mouth corners slightly raised, giving Gu Qi a reassurance: "Don't worry, there are about 200 cats and dogs there and they are well taken care of. Any cats and dogs with signs of illness will be isolated.

We all have small animals at home. If you are worried, don't bring the dog in and disinfect thoroughly before leaving."

＊

The puppies were all taken by others at the gate of the courtyard. Gu Qi followed them into the courtyard.

Netizens: "?"

[The blind date partner separated! Don't the director team care?]

[The straight-line distance is only a few meters. Doesn't seem to be separated (scratching head)]

[Gu Qi! Chen Yunyao is still working hard to train Xiao Hei! Be more awake!!!]

Gu Qi could tell that the woman wanted to use her fame to let more people know about the existence of this stray home and provide help to the small animals here. She was willing to cooperate.

Anyway, winning or losing a variety show wasn't that important. She could make concessions for meaningful things.

In a strict sense, it was a violation of the rules, but the director team wasn't a heartless person. Seeing what Gu Qi wanted to do, they expressed their attitude with tacit approval.

The owner of the small courtyard was an old woman in her sixties. Everyone calls her Granny Li.

Granny Li wore clothes that were so worn out that they even had patches on them, but she smiled with her eyes curved when she saw the cats and dogs in the house, like a kind old lady in a fairy tale.

When she happily held the fat orange cat on her lap and stroked and introduced it, it was as if she was showing off her treasures to the world.

And all the cats and dogs in the yard were her children who she cared for.

Gu Qi was savvy. She remembered that someone on the way mentioned that Granny Li had a hard life and only smiled after opening this small courtyard. So after chatting for a bit, she went straight to the point and asked: "Granny Li, what made you open this small courtyard? It looks like it has been established for a long time."

She had no intention of exposing other people's scars.

Judging by the patches on Granny Li's body, the shabby furniture in the house, and the small yard crowded with too many stray cats and dogs, she must let people know more about the original intention of its existence if she wanted to get more help from people.

Granny Li happily handed Gu Qi some cakes. After hearing this question, she paused and stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into Gu Qi's mouth. Then she talked about her past when she was young.

She once married her childhood sweetheart, gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter, and had a happy family.

Her husband was a policeman and died in the line of duty while fighting with gangsters at work.

That year, her daughter had started elementary school.

Everyone felt that she had a miserable life. Her child was still young and it was time to spend money, but her husband was gone again. How would she live in the future?

She didn't fall down, but took the consolation money and opened a breakfast shop for her daughter to study and grow up.

The breakfast that wasn't sold out that day would be given to cats and dogs on the roadside as dinner at night. Over time, stray cats and dogs became regular customers here.

Still, fate didn't favor her.

In the year when her daughter was in the fourth grade, the neighbor’s daughter from next door asked for leave and she went to school alone that day. It was on this occasion that the accident happened.

On the way to school in the early morning, my daughter encountered a drunk man.

She had taught her daughter not to talk to strangers.

However, she had taught her daughter to help others within her ability.

So when she saw the man holding his bleeding forehead and crying in pain, her daughter cautiously walked up and tried to hand him her napkin, but was beaten by the other party.

The man tore open the girl's skirt and tried to violate the young girl in a vulgar and rude way.

Before he was about to succeed, the cats and dogs that she had fed appeared on the roadside and bravely rushed forward to stop him.

They saved the girl and bravely prevented a tragedy from happening.

The situation seemed to end like this.

The man was put in jail, was found to be taking drugs, and was sentenced to death. The mother and daughter had no worries.

She was very moved. Knowing that the cats and dogs saved her daughter, she prepared more food for them.

From then on, the cats and dogs formed a guard team, escorting her daughter to school every day to protect her daughter's safety.

The daughter was as well-behaved and sensible as ever, studying hard in school, and was the best child in her eyes.

She worked hard to make money, hoping to provide a better life for her daughter in the future.

The original small breakfast stall actually opened three chain stores in the county three years later and the business was getting more and more prosperous.

She thought that the incident was over.

They all thought so.

After all, the man didn't succeed at that time, right?

Until her daughter's senior year in high school, a confession by a boy in school was forced on her and the other party wanted to hug and kiss her.

Fear once again filled her heart.

The surveillance camera clearly captured that she fell off a tall building while running away.

Later, when she was collecting her daughter's belongings, she found a nightmare that had been written down again and again in her daughter's diary.

The content of the nightmare was-

That morning, on the way to school, she didn't escape.

How could this be?

The man didn't succeed.

Her daughter was forever imprisoned on that day.

After her daughter passed, she was like a zombie for a long time. In the end, she decided to sell the store to others and put her savings into helping stray cats and dogs.

They saved her daughter.

At least because of them, she and her daughter had nine more years of beautiful memories.

Her parents died early, while her husband's parents thought she was a jinx and had cut off their relationship long ago. So she spent the rest of her life thinking about doing something for these cats and dogs to express her gratitude for those nine years.

Now, the income wasn't enough to cover the expenses. Everything that could be sold had been sold. Even though other kind-hearted people were trying their best to help, the savings were really running out.

At this point, Granny Li's face became more helpless. She didn't know how long she could take care of them.

As she said, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled: "I'm sorry, child. This happened a long time ago. I made you see a joke."

Gu Qi shook her head and handed the elderly a clean tissue.

She lowered her eyelashes.

The slightly red corners of the eyes would not be noticed by others.

[Oh my god, cats and dogs are the best]

[Granny Li gave them food and they protected her beloved daughter. But it’s a pity...]

[With her daughter gone, Granny Li chose to love the descendants of her furry children]

[Granny Li is such a good person. She chose to thank those nine years for the ending she couldn't change. Her whole life relied on those eighteen years to survive]

[She wore shabby clothes, but provided a warm home for the animals]

...

The Internet’s speed was the fastest.

Before Gu Qi left here, countless enthusiastic netizens had spontaneously organized donations or sent cat and dog food to Granny Li.

When Gu Qi came back, in addition to the little white dog that was originally brought by them, there was now another little yellow dog.

This was a puppy that had been booked for adoption by a kind-hearted person. The bath, vaccinations, and a comprehensive examination was paid, but the kind-hearted person had no way to adopt the puppy due to some objective reasons. So it could only stay in the yard for the time being.

Gu Qi wanted to take the opportunity of this production team to give the stray animal home more exposure and publicity and to help the puppy find a new owner.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw a large circle of people gathered together.

Oh.

It was the final judgment segment mentioned at the beginning.

Gu Qi stopped and kept a certain distance.

In order not to disturb them, she was ready to wait for the result to come out before going over.

The little black dog was in the center of the circle.

The staff held snacks in their hands. Chen Yunyao had his hands empty and his back to the door. They all made ‘tsk tsk’ sounds to attract the puppy.

Chen Yunyao was very confident.

He had rehearsed countless times with passers-by and the little black dog would choose him every time.

This was a sure victory.

Sure enough.

The little black dog walked toward him as always.

Chen Yunyao stretched out his hands, ready to pick up the puppy and declare his victory.

However, this one time, something unexpected happened.

The little black dog didn't lick Chen Yunyao's palm, but walked around him, quickening its pace and moving forward.

Chen Yunyao: "?"

Everyone: "!"

Under the gaze of countless people.

The little black dog extended its legs and ran toward Gu Qi. Its tail wagged like it was spinning and licked the little yellow dog brought back by Gu Qi.

[Good fellow, the aloof little black dog turned into a lovestruck suitor in a second]

[This reaction of love from the little black dog is too cheap, hahaha! Stop drooling! ! ]

[So there is love at first sight in the dog world? ! My heart is struck]

The little yellow dog was obviously reluctant to accept this sudden suitor and immediately hid behind Gu Qi.

Gu Qi bent down and held the little yellow dog in her arms.

The little black dog cried out in grievance.

He didn't do anything overboard. Pawing at Gu Qi's calf,his whole body seemed to stand up as he raised his head and continued to wag his tail at the little yellow dog.

At this moment.

The electronic countdown sounded.

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

"Time is up!"

At the moment when the countdown ended, the little black dog firmly stuck to Gu Qi's calf.

The electronic sound continued to sound mercilessly.

"Judgement——

Chen Yunyao's mission failed."

Chapter 103

Chen Yunyao: "?"

He was squatting on the ground, staring up at the little black dog with astonished eyes, who had been well-behaved for a whole day but suddenly betrayed in the last five seconds. He couldn't accept this result.

He looked up at Gu Qi, with thousands of words stuck in his throat.

Although Gu Qi usually didn't want to pay attention to Chen Yunyao, when she was stared at with such questioning eyes and she could fully see what the other person wanted to say, she shook her head instinctively: "It has nothing to do with me."

[Hahaha, Chen Yunyao is completely doubting his life]

[Chen Yunyao: You seduced my dog? Did you seduce my dog? ]

[Chen Yunyao's gaze toward Gu Qi is full of suspicion and despair for the puppy ‘betraying’ him]

[Gu Qi: Don't come over here! ]

[I testify that Gu Qi didn't know about it. Who will speak for Gu Qi hahahaha! ]

...

Chen Yunyao didn't trust Gu Qi.

He first pulled the little black dog back, stepped back several steps, and then looked at the little yellow dog in Gu Qi's arms and asked, "What's the situation with it?"

Gu Qi explained the cause and effect.

Chen Yunyao's eyes fell on Gu Qi's face with some suspicion.

She... was so kind?

He doubted it, but he couldn't say such words and could only express his understanding with everyone.

Looking upon the sake of Da Huang in Gu Qi's arms, it was a positive matter whether she did this out of her own heart or wanted to use it to hype up her personality.

So Chen Yunyao chose to be quiet.

Gu Qi held Da Huang a little higher, wanting it to face the live camera: "This is Da Huang. It’s very clingy. In addition to this guy, there are many cute cats and dogs in the stray pet home. If you are interested, my studio will release the contact information later and you can learn more."

The puppy was a little scared and dug into Gu Qi's embrace. Its paw gently latched onto her arm, revealing a pair of timid eyes.

Suddenly being ‘harassed’ by a strange dog, it was a little scared.

Gu Qi wanted the audience to take a look, but seeing that it was afraid, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate and immediately took it into her arms to comfort it.

Yu Wan, who had been standing at the side in silence for a long time, suddenly spoke up at this moment, "I can raise it."

Facing Gu Qi's eyes that didn't catch on for a while, Yu Wan immediately explained, "You said it’s very clingy. I have kept pets before and have some experience. Besides, my parents are retired and have plenty of time to accompany it."

Yu Wan's eyes were sincere.

Gu Qi was a little surprised.

Raising a life wasn't a small matter. Yu Wan decided so easily?

It was a little vaguely illogical.

As Gu Qi pondered how to organize the words to raise doubts, Yu Wan took the initiative to explain, "I feel that I have a good impression of it and find it familiar."

Gu Qi automatically made up a backstory.

She felt Yu Wan’s meaning was that Da Huang looked like her former puppy.

So Gu Qi said, "Okay, I'll give you Granny Li's contact information after the recording is over."

"Okay." Yu Wan nodded in agreement, slightly narrowed her eyes, and showed a friendly smile.

Very warm.

It was a friendly message.

So Gu Qi smiled back at her.

She practised countless times in private.

Finally, Jiang Lechuan commented on the smile: ‘Very good. It looks normal.’

Following this, everyone accepted the judgment one by one. Only Mu Yuan sat in the corner with a half-dead expression. His smile was so weak that he seemed to faint in the next second.

Even when Meng Sansi chose him and the mission was successful, he was trapped in that magic sound.

He Quanyi bowed to him and apologized-

Not.

She was obviously glad that she had escaped.

Mu Yuan was young and in good health. What was wrong with suffering like this? Young people recover quickly!

He Quanyi comforted herself with a sense of righteousness.

The judgment continued and finally it was Gu Qi's turn.

Gu Qi didn't hold any hope.

She stayed in the stray pet home and didn't get along with little White much afterwards. How could it choose her?

Sure enough.

When the judgment started, Xiaobai ran to the staff holding the freeze-dried food without hesitation.

It bit the freeze-dried food in one bite, didn't refuse, held it in its mouth, and put it in front of Gu Qi while wagging its tail.

It woofed, looked up at Gu Qi, and continued to wag its tail.

What did this mean...?

Gu Qi hesitated and tentatively put Da Huang on the ground.

Sure enough, little White stretched out his paw to push the freeze-dried food forward.

Da Huang lowered its head and started eating.

Little Black barked aggrievedly in Chen Yunyao's arms.

[Little White feeds Da Huang freeze-dried food! Little White is good! Da Huang eats freeze-dried food obediently! Da Huang is good too! Little Black wants to play with them! Little Black is good too! The director team wants to use freeze-dried food to seduce little White to betray Gu Qi! The director team is bad! ]

[Official Qingtang, please clearly investigate! ]

Little White ran to another staff member and did the same thing and brought the second freeze-dried food.

Naturally Da Huang thought it was for him and was about to lower its head to eat it again, but this time it was scolded by little White with a ‘woof’. It stepped back a few steps in fear.

This time, little White patted Gu Qi's foot, and then patted the second freeze-dried food.

This time, everyone understood what little White meant.

The first piece was for Da Huang, and the second piece was for Gu Qi. Little White knew how to distribute.

Gu Qi was a little amused, but in order not to hurt the puppy's heart, she could only pick up the freeze-dried food and pretend to eat it.

The countdown sounded at this moment, judging that Gu Qi had completed the task.

This was an unexpected result for everyone.

Chen Yunyao, the loser, could not accept it the most and blurted out: "Why?"

Yu Wan was the first to answer: "Animals are the most spiritual. They know who is nice to them."

Wenren Jing's eyes stayed on Yu Wan.

Even if he wanted to ignore it, he couldn't do it.

She cared too much about Elder Sister.

The approach was was too deliberate. She clearly didn’t have an introverted personality. However, unlike Yu Qing who took the initiative to find topics to interact with Elder Sister, she only paid attention to Elder Sister unilaterally.

The recording ended in the evening.

Wenren Jing found an opportunity to be alone and asked directly: "Do you know my Elder Sister before?"

Yu Wan packed her luggage as she tied her long hair up high. Her response was frank: "Yes."

Wenren Jing leaned against the door, thinking: "Really? It seems that you are not very familiar with each other. After all, my Elder Sister had never mentioned you to me."

"Yes." Yu Wan wasn't surprised at all and closed the suitcase: "Strictly speaking, I know her, but she doesn't know me."

Wenren Jing: "?"

How could this be considered as knowing each other?

Seeing Wenren Jing's slightly stern expression, Yu Wan stood up with the suitcase: "I understand what you are worried about. Please rest assured, I have no ill will toward Gu Qi.

I... I only want to come and see her."

Yu Wan met Gu Qi once. It was many years ago. At that time, she was an assistant doing odd jobs. Because of her tall and thin figure and short hair, she temporarily served as a substitute for the third male lead.

At the script reading meeting, the director made a lewd joke to the underage actress and everyone let out an awkward laugh. Only Gu Qi stepped forward.

Was doing this easy?

As an actress in her rising period, she put her own future on the line and persisted in blocking the underage actress from the gaze that were like selecting goods.

The director didn't expect that with his status, he would be exposed by the actress in such an embarrassing way.

He thought Gu Qi was a lunatic.

Gu Qi didn't know the underage girl at all and had no reason to do this for a stranger.

While he secretly hated Gu Qi, he had to be afraid of Gu Qi's existence.

Forget it.

This kind of thing depended on willingness, otherwise it was easy to get into trouble if meeting a lunatic like Gu Qi again.

At that time, Gu Qi didn't know her action not only protected an underage actor, but also planted a seed in Yu Wan's heart.

Later, Gu Qi blatantly had a dark face at the press conference. With a face that seemed difficult to get along with, plus the director's deliberate isolation, almost no one in the crew would take the initiative to talk to Gu Qi even until the filming ended.

Yu Wan didn't dare.

She was unknown and not so brave.

She could only quietly help Gu Qi with some tiny matter.

For example, secretly stuffing her favorite wafer biscuits into Gu Qi's bag, taking out a bunch of hot packs on a cold night and giving a few more to Gu Qi's assistant, or cooking a pot of ginger soup that the whole crew could get for free.

She wanted to give Gu Qi a little warmth.

Even if it was a little bit.

This lasted until later.

After the filming of the movie was over, Yu Wan was signed by the company of the third male lead because she was sufficiently hardworking and finally became an actress who could show her face and have lines on the screen.

They had no intersection because of their different status.

In Yu Wan’s opinion, now that she finally had representative work, it was happiness to be invited to this variety show and to see Gu Qi in person.

Yu Wan wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of person Gu Qi had become now.

Yu Wan wasn't disappointed.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

That was great.

Gu Qi was the same as before.

Yu Wan hesitated whether to choose Gu Qi in the judgment link and tell her about it later.

When she saw Gu Qi appearing with the little yellow dog, Yu Wan gave up this idea.

Gu Qi would not remember her since she wasn't the one who was helped back then.

There was no need for her to speak, nor was there any need to mention the past that wasn't pleasant for Gu Qi at this time.

Wenren Jing's face was confused.

Obviously, he didn't understand the reason behind Yu Wan's words, but the basic rule of adult social interaction was that if you didn't get an answer after asking, you shouldn't ask again.

So Wenren Jing politely gave a response, waved to Gu Qi from a distance, and called: "Elder Sister! Are you going back? My assistant didn't come! Take me with you!"

Gu Qi nodded and walked over. She didn't rush to leave with Wenren Jing, but instead stopped.

She faced Yu Wan's direction, obviously hesitant.

In the end, she uttered: "Thank you."

Yu Wan raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

Gu Qi curved her eyes: "The wafer biscuits were delicious at the time, thank you."


Chapter 104

Amidst the lonely days, how could the sudden warmth go unnoticed?

Even when she almost caught her secretly preparing some small things for her, she would make 800 fake moves in a second, find something to do, and quickly walk away.

The girl didn't want her to find out, so Gu Qi pretended not to know.

After all...under the circumstances at that time, it wasn't a good thing to be associated with her.

She could understand that this thought was precious.

Gu Qi remembered that Yu Wan was a particularly hard working girl.

When she noticed that the manager of the third male had his eyes on Yu Wan for a long time, Gu Qi guessed what he was thinking and was willing to give him a push.

Gu Qi took the initiative to approach and sighed not far from him: "She is so hardworking. If someone can give her a chance, maybe she can make it."

The actress served as a stand-in for an actor. The scene of soaking in the pool took a few hours to shoot. Despite being extremely afraid of insects, she let them circle around her feet and gritted her teeth without saying a word. This fierceness made everyone pay more attention.

At that time, Song Cheng and Gu Qi had a tacit understanding. He agreed: "Yes, it’s certainly good quality at a low price when playing a supporting role in a self-made drama."

Later.

Gu Qi heard that the manager of the third male role signed Yu Wan.

Newcomers weren’t worth much.

Can endure hardships, have solid acting skills, and specialize in playing supporting roles in the company's self-made dramas was a good choice for both the company and the artist.

If they sign the contract, in the worst case, Yu Wan could continue to be the stand-in for the third male lead. This wasn't a loss either.

It was a pity that Yu Wan didn't have many scenes and the filming was finished very early, so Gu Qi didn't even have the time to say thank you to her in person.

Later.

With all the mess in life and setbacks at work, Gu Qi didn't have the time and energy to think about Yu Wan again.

After so many years, they met again.

It seemed a bit strange to mention the window paper that wasn't broken back then when the other party became famous.

So after Gu Qi made a choice, she chose to pretend to forget the existence of that incident.

This was until Yu Wan took the initiative to say that she wanted to adopt the puppy she brought back. Looking at Yu Wan's eyes, Gu Qi suddenly realized——

Yu Wan still had absolute goodwill toward her.

So in the end.

She wanted to express the gratitude that she owed back then.

In fact, besides thank you, she wanted to say congratulations.

Congratulations to her; she had finally gotten what she deserves.

"Yo, you're welcome." Yu Wan answered with a stutter. Face flushed, she continued: "Da Huang was taken back by my family yesterday. I, I am the adopter. You have to be responsible for Da Huang and supervise whether I am a qualified owner."

The implication of getting Gu Qi supervise her was that she wanted to keep in touch with Gu Qi.

"That makes sense. Remember to send me the pictures." Gu Qi voiced her agreement and took out her mobile phone: "Then I'll add your WeChat."

"Okay!" Yu Wan agreed immediately, fearing that Gu Qi would regret it if she said it a second later.

Yu Wan and Elder Sister were speaking riddles, making Wenren Jing frown again and again.

He could almost guess that the two people knew each other before, but he didn't know what specifically happened.

Wenren Jing rubbed his chin with one hand and half-jokingly said: "Elder Sister is keeping a secret from me."

It didn't look like a bad thing, so let's not dig into it.

After watching the two people exchange contact information, Wenren Jing put one hand on Elder Sister's shoulder and dragged out the tail of the sentences to say coquettishly: "Let's go, Elder Sister. Jiang Lechuan took Mu Yuan to buy groceries first. Let's go back quickly. I'm so hungry——"

Watching the departing backs of Gu Qi and Wenren Jing, Yu Wan suddenly couldn't control herself and called loudly: "I’m also a female lead now!"

Gu Qi stopped, looked back at Yu Wan, and motioned her to continue.

Encouraged, Yu Wan continued to speak the words she had rehearsed countless times in her mind: "Last time, last time, a senior in the crew bullied a newcomer and I stepped forward to protect her."

Gu Qi didn't say anything, but raised two thumbs up to her.

Truly great.

Yu Wan was slightly stunned.

She tried to make her smile brighter. Finally, she couldn't help but shed tears.

＊

Second floor.

Looking at Chen Yunyao who had been standing at the railing for who knew how long, He Quanyi said "tsk", walked to his side and asked: "Why are you watching them?"

The words ‘What's it got to do with you’ was at the tip of Chen Yunyao's lips, but thinking of the previous relationship between Gu Qi and He Quanyi, Chen Yunyao said sarcastically: "I don't understand why you are all like fence-sitters."

What's more, as far as he knew, He Quanyi and Gu Qi were mortal enemies before. At some unknown time, their relationship eased.

"She is a good person. Why should I hate a good person?" He Quanyi calmly answered. Then she shot back: "You find her an eyesore because you are jealous of her?

If it’s like that, it’s understandable. After all, except for your precious younger sister An Ran, no one in the circle cares about you. Even the dog you take care of will choose Gu Qi haha."

Reaching the end, He Quanyi couldn't even hold back her laughter.

Of course she knew that Chen Yunyao excluded Gu Qi because he stood on Shen Anran's side, but she wanted to say some harsh words.

Chen Yunyao tightened his hands on the railing, sneered and asked: "What about you? After so many years, you finally realized that your acting skills aren’t as good as Gu Qi, and for the sake of face you turn from enemies to friends? Do you think she is as simple as she looks? She put on a show in front of everyone. Her acting is too..."

He Quanyi was a little annoyed by what Chen Yunyao said and directly fired back: "Yes, you are right. I have been her rival for so many years. I would envy and be jealous when I see her progress. There is nothing to deny.

I can't compare with your Younger Sister Anran. She uses dirty tricks behind people’s backs and poaches the male lead of the crew. She thought she had won, but she didn't expect that they had the ability to invite Senior Mo to come out. She must be very upset in private, right?"

Chen Yunyao naturally wanted to protect the kind and beautiful girl in his heart and immediately cleared Shen Anran of the matter: "She is only a female lead and it isn't her turn to interfere in casting!"

"Yes, I spoke wrong." He Quanyi nodded in agreement and corrected her words: "That Director Shen is Shen Anran's elder. This is called the upper beam isn't straight, the lower beam is crooked, right?"

This time, Chen Yunyao couldn't say anything to refute.

"I'll leave first if you have nothing to say." He Quanyi raised her hand to check the time and walked past Chen Yunyao: "To be honest, I'm annoyed by your slander of Gu Qi.

One day, I will defeat her in an upright manner.

This does not conflict with my desire to be friends with her."

＊

In the evening. Jiang Lechuan and Mu Yuan bought two bags of food from the supermarket and brought over a huge electric rice cooker.

Last time, there were too many peppers in the hot pot, which made Jiang Lechuan's nose runny and tears streaked.

This time, he learned a lesson; he would make half a pot of tomato soup for himself. After buying the groceries, those who walked the dog walked the dog first, those who washed the vegetables washed the vegetables, and those who cooked cooked. The tasks were distributed in an orderly manner.

Gu Qi sat on the sofa, watching the drama on TV absentmindedly, and occasionally picked up her phone to open Weibo to check.

No movement yet.

WeChat rang.

Song Shiqing sent her a message, which was a photo of the airport.

[There is a project that requires a trip to City B. I will buy you some souvenirs. There is a lot of jade there. Do you like earrings or necklaces? ]

Gu Qi: "......?"

Whose souvenirs were jewelry?

Forget it, this wasn't the point.

Gu Qi's hand hovered over the screen for a few seconds before clicking the dial button.

Song Shiqing answered immediately, "Tell me quickly, do you like necklaces or earrings? Or something else?"

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Qi didn't care much about this kind of thing and went straight to the point: "It's been so long, why hasn't it been clarified yet?"

This was different from what they planned.

It should have been released early this morning.

Song Shiqing sent a photo of the plane ticket and explained, "I'm afraid Yun Mei will be too agitated and sought me out. So better wait until I get on the plane before sending it."

By then, he will be on his way to City C. Whatever happens in the capital, it will be left to the Gong Family to solve internally.

Gu Qi enlarged the plane ticket and glanced at the time.

The plane will take off in half an hour or so.

Gu Qi was about to say something when she was interrupted by Jiang Lechuan's ruckus.

Jiang Lechuan sat at the table and called Mu Yuan in a hoarse voice: "When will you come back? Your Elder Bro is starving to death - starving to death - you hung up on me?"

He was furious in a second, howling to find Gu Qi for justice: "Elder Sis! Come and see! Manage Mu Yuan! If he dares to hang up on me now, he will dare to pull out my oxygen mask in the future! He must be punished by family law when he comes back!!!"

Gu Qi was given a headache by Jiang Lechuan's noise and could only give Song Shiqing a brief response: "Okay, I know, be careful."

On the other side, the phone was hung up.

A look of disappointment flashed across Song Shiqing's face.

It was dark outside the window. On his own, there was always slight loneliness.

In fact, he wanted to hear more of Gu Qi's voice, but she should be chatting and laughing with her younger brothers now. So he didn't bother her.

She didn't seem to say what gift she wanted. Song Shiqing propped his chin with one hand and a bit of depression appeared on his face.

Forget it.

Then buy them all.

8:30.

The moment the plane took off.

#Song Shiqing shows parental test# topped the hot search.

The Weibo post didn't have any text to explain, but only posted a few photos, which was a parental test certificate.

The subjects were Song Shiqing and Yunmei, and the appraisal opinion clearly stated: The possibility of biological kinship was 99.9999%.

Madam Gong, who was enjoying a massage from a servant at Gong's house, heard the sound of her phone vibrating non-stop. She impatiently picked it up to take a look. Countless people sent her this picture.

Her family members were questioning what happened.

Madam Gong's hands couldn't help shaking. Then her whole body trembled. A chill surged from nowhere, until she was completely enveloped, and even lost the ability to move.

How could it be...

It must be fake.

She was sure that there was only one life in her belly.

How could Song Shiqing be her child?

How could Song Shiqing be her child?

Then whose child… was her Xuanan?

This was what netizens wanted to know.

[@Gong Group? What's going on]

[@Gong Xuanan, are your parents your parents? ]


***WARNING : READ WITH CAUTION. CONTENT CONTAIN INCEST***


Chapter 105

Such a reversal was beyond everyone's expectations.

In black and white, the DNA test report proves that this was the fact.

Song Shiqing wasn't an illegitimate child, but Yun Mei's biological child, a.k.a. the legitimate young master of the Gong Family.

If he was the legitimate blood of the Gong Family, then why was Gong Xuanan's surname Gong and his surname Song? What was the relationship between Gong Xuanan and Song Shiqing? These questions were like unsolvable mysteries, leaving netizens scratching their heads.

Everything pointed to the same truth - Gong Xuanan's identity was problematic.

Now, the one who wanted to figure out all this and needed the true answer the most was naturally Yun Mei.

The moment she learned the news, she went upstairs, and opened Gong Xuanan's room.

Gong Xuanan stayed up all night in the bar last night and returned home in the afternoon. At this moment, he was lying half-naked in the quilt, with his hair blown up like a chicken coop.

He stretched out one hand to block his sight as he weakly said: "Mom, why didn't you knock before coming in? What's so urgent...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a wave of pain on his scalp.

Yun Mei handed the hair in her hand to the man in a suit behind her expressionlessly. She grabbed it a second time. The other party respectfully put the hair into different transparent bags, nodded, and left.

Gong Xuanan finally woke up, but he didn't understand what happened. He sat up and looked at his mother with an incomprehensible gaze: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Gong Xuanan was a little flustered, especially when he saw two bodyguards standing at the door of his room. So scared, he pulled the quilt up a little.

Yun Mei looked at Gong Xuanan with a complicated expression and closed her eyes in the end, "Take away his mobile phone, computer, and all electronic devices. You are not allowed to leave the room until I give instruction to."

"Ah?" Gong Xuanan was stunned and finally realized that something was amiss. He hollered, "Dad? Dad! Where are you! Jiāng Zhiyu! Wife!"

He shouted desperately, but no one could help him.

Yun Mei didn't say anything more and walked directly out of the room.

The two hair follicles will be sent to the Forensic Identification Center and her own private hospital respectively.

The latter was the fastest, and the results would be available tomorrow morning.

What she had to do now was to wait for the results.

Waiting for a result that she already had an answer to be confirmed.

At this moment.

There was a hurried sound of footsteps downstairs. Jiāng Zhiyu was originally in the beauty salon but after seeing the hot search, she hurried home.

The four eyes met.

Jiāng Zhiyu forced a smile and greeted, "Mom, I saw the trending search. What's going on? Xuanan is your son, right?"

When she said the last sentence, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

If Gong Xuanan wasn't Yun Mei's biological child, he would no longer be the first heir of the Gong Family with the existence of Song Shiqing.

Realizing this, Jiāng Zhiyu felt extremely terrified.

Yun Mei's eyes fell on Jiāng Zhiyu's face, met her anxious eyes, but in the end she didn't respond, and went out directly. She called out, "Uncle Wang, send me to Jiāng Family."

Yun Mei didn't know what happened in the dark.

Song Shiqing had blocked all her contact information.

If she wanted to get the answer, she could only go to Song Xuelian to confront her face to face.

However, when Yun Mei arrived at Jiāng Family, she got the news that Song Xuelian had gone abroad.

She had lived abroad for many years before, so her departure wasn't sudden for the Jiāng Family.

Yun Mei came here for nothing and her face turned ugly due to fatigue. After a few polite exchanges with Jiāng Anguo, she could only leave.

Jiāng Fengzhi, who was standing by, drank a sip of tea, "Dad, you should go upstairs and rest early. I'll send Auntie to the door."

"Thank you for your trouble." Yun Mei forced a smile.

Jiāng Fengzhi followed Yun Mei two steps slower than her. Suddenly he chatted about some trivial matters: "My Younger Sister is at Gong's house and there are more smiles than before. It’s thanks to your care."

Yun Mei politely and perfunctorily said: "It’s what should be done. I treat Xiaoyu as my own daughter."

"It can be seen that you all are too much like a family. If one doesn't know, one would think Zhiyu and Xuanan are biological siblings." Jiāng Fengzhi's voice was a little teasing, like ordinary casual small talk.

Yun Mei felt that at this moment, a light bulb suddenly turned on in her confused brain and a line that could connect everything appeared.

She stared back at Jiāng Fengzhi, with disbelief in her eyes.

Jiāng Fengzhi looked as if he didn't realize what he had said and had a polite smile taht didn’t reach his eyes.

Yun Mei could only try to keep her face normal. Only after getting in the car, she almost collapsed and sat down.

She took out her cell phone with a trembling voice and sent a message to the most trusted servant in the house.

[Go to the room to find some hair of the young madam and the young master and send it over immediately. Don't be discovered]

＊

The two parental test reports were sent back to the Gong Family at the same time.

Gong Wei was forced to rush back from another province and was so tired that he didn't know what happened.

After the fall of Jiang Family, he had too much work to do to support the Jiāng Family. He was so busy that he didn't want to go home to deal with this kind of women's mess.

Even when the assistant wanted to tell Gong Wei what happened, he waved his hand and sent him away without even listening.

In Gong Wei's opinion, it was his wife who was unhappy again and was tormenting him in this way.

As soon as Gong Wei entered the house, he looked at the parental test report on the table and felt even more absurd. He looked at Yun Mei, "When Song Shiqing was allowed to go home, it was my people who were responsible for sending the DNA for testing."

On the surface, it was only once.

In private, he sent it for testing many times in different places, so it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake.

Gong Wei thought Yun Mei was doubting that Song Shiqing wasn't of his blood. He didn't even sit on the sofa and stood up to leave, but was suddenly stopped by his wife.

Yun Mei didn't want to talk to him, but opened one of the copies and directly handed it over.

Gong Wei took it with an impatient look on his face, but was stunned when he saw the content clearly.

The people being identified were his wife and son, but the identification report clearly stated that they were not mother and son.

He read it over and over again, "...How is this possible?"

How could Xuanan not be his and Yun Mei's child?

As soon as Gong Wei finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the face.

Yun Mei threw another parental report directly at Gong Weidao's face. So enraged, tears welled up in her eyes: "Gong Wei, the thing I regret the most is that I actually married you. I haven't had a single happy day in these years and now even my son isn't my son.

You deceived me like a fool for so many years and let me raise a son for you and that b*tch. Your child has enjoyed a life with no worry for food and clothing for so many years, but my own son is living outside. I didn't let him have a single good day, didn't give him a little help, and didn't even have a proper chat with him.

Gong Wei, where did I do you wrong? Why do you treat me like this?"

Yun Mei became more and more frustrated as she spoke and threw everything she could get at her husband.

Gong Wei raised his arm to block his head and continued to scan through the two appraisal reports in disbelief, trying to find a possibility of fraud.

Otherwise, it would be ridiculous. The report clearly stated that Gong Xuanan and Yun Mei were not biological mother and son, but he and Jiāng Zhiyu were biological siblings.

According to Yun Mei, Gong Xuanan... was he and Song Xuelian's child?

Gong Wei felt a headache, covering his head and almost fainting.

Jīang Zhiyu didn't know that the matter was so serious. In lounge clothes, she went downstairs to support Gong Wei and asked, "Dad, what happened?"

Jīang Zhiyu thought that the most terrible ending was that Gong Xuanan was the illegitimate child of Madam Gong and someone else, but she was unwilling to give up before the situation was set.

If this was true, she was also a victim. She must go home and ask her father for help to divorce Gong Xuanan.

What was her identity? If Gong Xuanan didn't even have the bloodline, how could he be worthy of her?

These words of hers also evoked Yun Mei’s wrath and she was slapped indiscriminately.

Jiāng Zhiyu was completely stunned.

The mother-in-law who used to be the most gentle and polite and could even be exaggeratedly said to never speak loudly to anyone, actually hit her like this?

Yun Mei sneered: "Yes, he is your father. Gong Xuanan is his son and your elder brother. This family belongs to you. From beginning to end, I am the only one who is stupid enough to fall for your tricks and make wedding clothes for your family's happiness.

You are the real beast. In order to hold all the family property in your own hands, you can actually do such a thing as letting your daughter marry your son. Gong Wei, I underestimated you."

As she said, the sadness in her heart was like a bottomless pit that wanted to swallow her up and she could only laugh in despair.

Even though Gong Wei had denied several times that this matter had nothing to do with him, Yun Mei didn't believe what he said.

Jiāng Zhiyu was dazzled by the slap. On top of that, Yun Mei's words were too informative and she couldn't fully process it for a while, so she helped Gong Wei sit down first.

This was until she saw the parental test in Gong Wei's hand, where her and Gong Xuanan's names were listed in two rows, both as the subject being tested.

Jīang Zhiyu realized the problem. Looking at Gong Wei who had closed his eyes and was in pain, she reached out and took the test report.

The moment she turned to the test conclusion, Jīang Zhiyu screamed and threw the test report to the ground. She was the one who was most shocked.

She and Gong Xuanan were biological siblings?

How was this possible?

Yun Mei looked at Jiāng Zhiyu again and abruptly grinned: "I went to find your mother. She had transferred most of the assets and went abroad alone. I think she should have given up on you."

"Impossible...Impossible..."

This series of events hit Jiāng Zhiyu hard. She could only repeat these words. Her mind was in a mess and she fainted on the sofa.

＊

Online.

Whether it was the Weibo of Song Shiqing or Gong Xuanan or Jiāng Zhiyu, the comment area had become a gathering place for netizens to eat melons.

Everyone was waiting for the parties involved in this incident to respond.

However, what they waited for was the press conference where Madam Gong stood up. The elegant and beautiful woman seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, with a lot of white hair and a haggard look.

At the press conference, she wept bitterly and described her husband's ruthlessness. He had an illegitimate child with another woman when young and even used a trick of replacing the prince with a cat. So she raised the son of the mistress and treated him as a treasure for so many years.

For the remaining bit of face, Gong Wei took a step back and allowed her to push all the problems on him alone, but the scandal of a daughter marrying a son, which violated the moral code, must not be known to the outside world.

Yun Mei's tears wet countless napkins as she apologized to the camera: "Shiqing, mom realized that all these years of love were given to the wrong person and you suffered too much outside.

I know that you hate Mom, but Mom is a victim. If I could choose, Mom would want to be with my own child."

These words of Yun Mei triggered countless people's empathy.

Yes.

She was a person with a miserable fate. A poor mother who was kept in the dark.

Countless people tagged Song Shiqing, hoping that he could give his mother a chance.

＃Gong Xuanan illegitimate child＃

＃Give motherly love a chance＃

Netizens didn't know the inside story, they thought it was a rare emotional drama and were moved by Yun Mei's tears and couldn't help but stand on her side.

Yun Mei's tears were sincere, but not because she loved Song Shiqing, but because she resented her husband.

She didn't listen to her husband's explanation. Or rather, she didn't believe it even when she heard it.

Whether it was her husband or Song Xuelian who replaced her child, it was the same.

She completely put herself in the position of the victim, fantasizing in her heart that blood was thicker than water and hoping that Song Shiqing would respond. She hoped that her son would call her mother.

She got a response from Song Shiqing.

Song Shiqing V: I already know the specific reasons, I agree that you are a victim, but I can't forget the fact that you are also a perpetrator.

In my opinion, you are a weak woman. As long as I can remember, every time you faced your husband's cheating, you would vent your anger on me and my mother. I knew from a young age that I was an illegitimate child who could not see the light of day and a lowly bastard that deserved to die. You always described me like this.

At that time, I felt guilty toward you, thinking that the existence of my mother and I affected your life. Under your repeated harassment, my mother took me to a remote suburb, where I had to walk for an hour to go to and from school, just to stay away from you and your family and not disturb your life. However, you went even further, thinking that my mother lived in a remote place to facilitate a secret meeting with your husband.

I can understand that from your perspective, you are a victim of betrayal, but you have never directed your spearhead at your husband who has been betraying you. You only remember that my mother had me, which will threaten the inheritance rights. So you vented all your hatred on us.

When you directed your subordinate to splash chicken blood on my mother who was already suffering from severe depression because of your years of harassment., I knelt on the ground at that time and begged you. I begged you to let my mother go and repeatedly promised you that I would take my mother to live in the most remote city, never step into the imperial capital again in this life, and never fight for the inheritance you care about most as long as you stop disturbing our lives.

You still didn't agree. You cut my mother's arm with a blade and carved humiliating words, not allowing us to leave the imperial capital and leave your control area. Every time in those years, my mother said that if she had a choice, she didn't want me to be born in this world and suffer, but since I have come, she must take good care of me. She had no choice, and I had no choice.

I once had the best mother in the world. My mother was never the third party who destroyed your family. She was a kind person who was willing to sacrifice her life to protect me. She gave all her love to me, a child who had no blood relationship with her. I don't want my life to stay in resentment toward you, but I can't forgive you for her.

The picture provided by Song Shiqing was an old and yellowed agreement.

The content on it was very special.

The content was roughly that Party B was willing to take a child away as a mother, Party A shall not do anything harmful to the child, and Party B shall never tell the child the true identity.

Party A: Song Xuelian.

Party B: Song Xuemei.

Both names were followed by fingerprints, and a childish agreement to outsiders that the violator shall not be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb after death.

According to the local customs of the Song Family's hometown, men and women who do not enter the ancestral tomb after death would become wandering ghosts without a return. Although this saying was no longer common in recent years, it was a more vicious oath than ‘being struck by lightning’ at the time.

This agreement directly pointed the mastermind behind the ‘Cat Substituting the Crown Prince’ scheme to Song Xuelian.

It was at this moment that Yun Mei fell into deep self-blame.

She never thought that her love and hatred over the years had been given to the wrong person.

Song Xuemei, the ‘third party’ she hated the most, was tortured by her for years, but she was the one who saved her son's life.

She did such excessive things to them again and again, but Song Xuemei didn't hate her and never vented her hatred for her on her son.

Yun Mei didn't believe that there were such kind people in the world, but the facts were in front of her and she had to believe it.

She suddenly thought of a rainy night many years ago.

When she stepped on Song Xuemei's hand, Song Xuemei looked at her with helplessness instead of resentment, saying to her: "You will regret it."

Yes.

Now she regretted it.

Over the years, if she could have a little kindness in her heart and was willing to let them live a peaceful life, her son would not have come to this point with her now.

The treasure she held in her hands for so many years and the son who was useless but she never gave up turned out to be the blood of that b*tch Song Xuelian.

Then what did the hard work and love she had poured into it over the years amount to? How could she not hate Song Xuelian? How could she not hate her husband?

It had come to this point and there was no way back.

Yun Mei clearly realized that her son would never forgive her in this life. So what else could they do to threaten her again?

How could she keep a secret for that scumbag and bitch? This kind of scandal should be known to the whole world!

After thinking it through, Yun Mei didn't care what she had promised before the press conference. She took out another parental test from her bag and murmured, "Yes, Mommy did you wrong. But if I wasn't deceived, Mom should have loved you the most." After the words fell, Yun Mei seemed to have made up her mind.

She directly turned the DNA test report of Jiāng Zhiyu and Gong Xuanan to the screen, letting the netizens in the live broadcast room clearly see every word on it.

After realizing what happened, Gong Wei panicked and immediately signaled the security guard to take away the DNA test report.

Was she crazy?

Gong Wei never thought that his wife would do such an outrageous thing in public without any concern for any consequences.

In his memory, his wife was a typical lady from a noble family; perfect on the surface and would not let people pick out a single fault.

After being shocked that Gong Xuanan and Jiāng Zhiyu were actually the children born to him by Song Xuelian, Gong Wei naturally put his own interests first, so he agreed to give in and admit the scandal of cheating.

He was a man, what’s more a successful man.

With his status and position, he could cheat and have romantic debts. This kind of thing was too common in wealthy families. It would pass soon and the public would not hold on to it.

If the relationship between Gong Xuanan and Jiāng Zhiyu was discovered, it would be different.

The twins actually became a legal couple. This kind of blood relationship was against human ethics and was rare. This will be a joke that people in the imperial capital will always talk about and never pass.

What did Yun Mei mean?

What did she want to do?

Before Gong Wei could figure it all out, he saw his wife fall back on the chair and sneered at him: "Gong Wei, what's the point of taking it away? It's too late! It's too late! The whole world has seen it. Your ugly deeds can't be covered up at all!

I know that you and Song Xuelian were lovers. I thought that was in the past and you would restrain yourself after we got married, but I never thought that you actually had a pair of twins. Does Jiāng Anguo know about this? Does he know he had raised the daughter for you for so many years?

Let your son marry your daughter and your family is finally reunited. So what do I count as?"


Chapter 106

＃You have a pair of twins＃

＃Your son married your daughter＃

＃One family＃

……

Every sentence was so explosive.

At this point, everything was clear.

[Damn... the lady who raised Song Shiqing wasn't his biological mother, nor was she Gong Xuanan's mother? ]

[Isn't this simple? Song Xuelian is the real mother of the illegitimate child. After the exchanging the cat with the crown prince, she wanted to get rid of Song Shiqing so that her son can be at ease, but Song Shiqing's adoptive mother, Song Xuemei, was willing to keep this child who had no blood relationship with her]

[Song Xuelian... this name sounds so familiar]

[If I remember correctly, she is the mother of Jiāng Zhiyu and Jiāng Fengzhi, the madam of Jiāng Family]

[Ah? ? ? ]

Netizens who had been eating melons until now finally understood.

[Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me summarize it; in other words, there was indeed an illegitimate child, but that illegitimate child was Gong Xuanan instead of Song Shiqing, but Gong Xuanan was the son of Song Xuelian (Jiāng Fengzhi and Jiāng Zhiyu's mother)? ? ? ]

[Madam Gong had made it very clear, Gong Wei and Song Xuelian were lovers and they had twins]

[Son married daughter = Gong Wei married Jiāng Zhiyu, they are siblings, so the family is reunited]

[Twins, the son and daughter get a share of both side’s family property. It's a great plan]

[This... that... still can’t do! Siblings getting married? Huh? ]

[Although I can understand it’s money motivated, this is too explosive, this is too explosive]

[@Jiāng Fengzhi, what do you think? ]

[Your younger sister isn't your younger sister (hesitant to speak) you wealthy circle is messy]

[I have always felt that they are not siblings. Can this be said? ]

[+1 above, the elder brother is smart, good-tempered and kind, while the younger sister is stupid, brainless and bad-tempered. I have been wondering how the personalities of twins can be so different. It makes sense if they are not siblings]

Someone else had put forward a new view.

[It seems that there is a problem, Gong Xuanan and Jiāng Zhiyu are twin siblings, then who is Jiāng Fengzhi? ]

After all, they couldn't be triplets!

Jiāng Fengzhi's ‘birth’ was indeed suspicious, but the focus now was obviously not on him. Countless netizens were emotionally attacking Gong Wei and Song Xuelian.

It was the affair between the two of them that had led to the current situation that everyone found ridiculous.

Before the netizens' attention shifted, a person took the initiative to stand up and issue a statement.

From Jiāng Anguo's perspective, he said that he was very pained about this situation. His wife had gone abroad to avoid the incident before it was exposed and had already transferred some of the family's assets. She was prepared.

As for the existence of Jiāng Fengzhi?

When his wife gave birth, he was deceived and was told that the boy of the twins had passed away, so he adopted a boy from a distant relative. The original intention was to prevent his wife from being sad. Unforeseen, after all these years, he finally found out that he was the one who was deceived.

Jiāng Anguo had never been a good person, but he held a rare sincerity for his wife in his life.

Looking at his father who looked old but not sad and only numb, Jiāng Fengzhi silently reported the situation of the specific project at hand and prepared to leave.

"Fengzhi." Jiāng Anguo suddenly called him, took a sip of tea, and then slowly uttered: "In fact, I have known about this for a long time. I know it and you know it too."

Surprise flashed across Jiāng Fengzhi's eyes and then he lowered his eyelashes: "Nothing can be hidden from Father."

"I thought that if she was willing to live like this for the rest of her life, I could pretend not to know." Jiāng Anguo laughed mockingly. : "Do you know when I fell in love with your mother?"

Jiāng Fengzhi shook his head slightly.

"Your mother and I were classmates in junior high school. I knew her earlier than she knew Gong Wei. At that time, she wasn't as pretty as she was now. She was a little fat, a little dark, very timid, and stuttered."

When talking about his wife's appearance when she was young, Jiāng Anguo's face actually broke into a smile. He continued: "She was my deskmate. The first thing she did every morning was to wipe our tables and chairs with clean napkins. She liked to eat snacks and always wanted to share them with me; no wonder she was always so fat. I don't know why, but I kind of like her like that."

Jiāng Fengzhi stared at his father with surprise. Over the years, they have never had such a heart-to-heart time as father and son.

Jiāng Anguo continued: "In the third year of junior high school, before graduation, someone picked up her diary, which said that she had a crush on me. This incident caused quite a stir in the whole class and even the whole school. People always came to me and asked me if I liked her."

Jiāng Fengzhi couldn't help asking: "Then what?"

"Of course I like her. I tolerated her sitting next to me for three years. Even when her grades dropped and she needed to change seats, I was the one who asked the head teacher to keep her. How could I not like her?" Saying this, a trace of regret appeared in his eyes. He asked: "Can you understand? At that time, it was a very embarrassing to admit that I liked such an inconspicuous girl. It seemed that if I liked her, I would be as ordinary as her, or even ugly."

Speaking of this, Jiāng Anguo sighed heavily and continued, "I lied, saying she was dark and ugly. How could I possibly like her? I knew this sentence had reached her ears. We clearly agreed to go to the same high school, but I didn't see her when school started.

When we met later, she had graduated from college and had become beautiful and gentle. However, there was already someone else by her side."

Jiāng Anguo wanted to wish them happiness. He hadn't contacted her for so many years, so it wasn't ‘only she could do’ nor did he have to look so deeply in love that it disgusted everyone.

It just so happened that she didn't meet a good man.

It was the man she loved who personally sent her to his bed for a cooperation project worth only a few million.

It was better to be with him.

At least he wouldn't betray her.

However, she betrayed him.

To this day, she had never thought of telling him the truth because she never trusted him at all.

She was right to be cautious.

He wasn't a good person, and he didn't love her.

In the past, or now.

He kept his virginity for her not because of love, but because he was born with no interest in this aspect.

If you love someone, how could you tolerate the other party's betrayal? It was even more impossible to see the other party so indifferent when she was ruined and had nothing.

His feelings for her were not love, but the guilt of his youth.

People who have done too much evil would want to protect the first beauty they met back then.

Jiāng Anguo continued: "I shouldn't have said this to you, but I don't know who else I can tell. Okay, you go out."

Jiāng Fengzhi nodded, but just before leaving, he evaluated his elder as a junior the first time in his life: "You still say one thing and mean something else, just like back then.

In this regard, I look a bit like your biological son."

＊

On the other side.

The situation of the Gong Family wasn't optimistic. Netizens pointed their spearheads directly at the Gong Family. Countless ridicules and insults caused the stock to fall. Except for Yun Mei, no one in the family dared to go out.

Gong Wei locked himself in the study all day, saying that he had to deal with the company's affairs. His face became uglier with each day.

Gong Xuanan couldn't accept the gap in status. The eldest young master who had been pampered for so many years suddenly became an illegitimate child, and his wife who shared the same bed with him but had different dreams was his own younger sister. It was too suffocating.

He was locked in the room, screaming madly to the outside to see his mother. He never believed this was true.

He slept for a while and lost everything? It must be a lie! It must be a lie!

He wanted to explain it clearly to his parents. It must be a trap set by that bastard Song Shiqing to deceive them and they should absolutely not take it seriously.

Every time the door opened, he saw not his parents, but the cold food thrown in. Apart from that, no one would give him any response.

Gong Xuanan realized with horror that he seemed to be imprisoned here.

He banged on the door desperately. This kept going until it was locked from the outside with an old-fashioned lock.

There was an obvious gap in the door and he saw Jiāng Zhiyu, who was locked in the neighboring room, rushing out during the meal delivery time.

Jiāng Zhiyu screamed hysterically in the living room, smashed everything, and screeched: "What do you want to do? Is it fun to tease us like this? We won't believe it... We won't..."

His mother, a once elegant and beautiful woman, had an unconcealed haggard look in her eyes. When seeing Jiāng Zhiyu's hysterical behavior, she suddenly smiled and looked in his direction.

The moment their eyes met, fear arose from the bottom of his heart for some reason. Gong Xuanan rolled and scrambled onto the bed, trying to pretend that he didn't see it all.

However, his mother opened the door.

The room was dim.

Standing by the door, Yun Mei stared at Gong Xuanan, who was shivering in the bed wrapped in a quilt, with an extremely indifferent expression, like a person who had no emotions at all: "I don't want to see you in this house either. The reason I kept you here until now is to wait for more authoritative appraisal results."

Holding a few paper appraisal reports in her hand, she sighed: "Facts cannot deceive people and nothing unexpected happened."

No matter how many times the test was done, the result was the same.

Yun Mei expressionlessly stated: "Now, you can all leave this house freely."

Rather than leaving freely, it was better to say that they were driven out.

Standing at the entrance of the house, Gong Xuanan instinctively wanted to hide after seeing the sun again after an unknown period of time.

Looking at disheveled Jiāng Zhiyu's silhouette staggering away, he pinched himself in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the nightmare-like life of the past few days would become a reality.

He was obviously the only heir of the Gong Family. He was spending a lot of money and drinking a lot a few days ago, but now he was living on the streets penniless.

But...

He had seen the parental test and clearly realized that all this was true.

Gong Xuanan had nowhere to go, so he could only take out his only property, the mobile phone and call his former friends for help.

Everyone blocked him. Finally, someone answered the phone and laughed mockingly: "Money? Didn’t your mother take a lot of money abroad? Do you need to ask us?"

Someone else laughed obscenely beside the other party: "Money is possible, give us your wife...oh no, your younger sister to play with!"

There was a teasing laugh over there.

The laughter was harsh to the ear, trampling on Gong Xuanan's self-esteem.

He hung up the phone and habitually wanted to smash the phone to vent his anger, but he clenched his hands after realizing that it was his only property.

It was just that all his bank cards were frozen and this phone might not be of much use. He might not even be able to pay the phone bill for next month.

In the end, he silently flipped through his list. None of the so-called friends who tried hard to please him could provide him with any help.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Looking at the incoming caller, it was a former lackey of his. After a few seconds of hesitation, Gong Xuanan answered the phone.

The lackey on the other end said with concern: "Elder Brother An, I heard that you left home. What's the situation now?"

Gong Xuanan's tongue tip pressed against the roof of his mouth. After a long time, he spoke: "What's the situation? Like what they thought, have no home to return to."

The lackey immediately responded: "What? Elder Brother An, how could this happen? Don't be anxious. How about this? You come here and we will have a meal together first. Then you can stay at my house for a few days. As for future matters, take it one step at a time."

Gong Xuanan was a little surprised and said after half a day: "...Okay."

The address was nearly ten kilometers away from here. Gong Xuanan looked at the pitiful balance in WeChat and finally chose to take the bus and walk two kilometers to get there.

When Gong Xuanan arrived at the place, the waiter eyed his T-shirt and pajamas with some disgust and couldn't even force out a smile. He said directly: "Sir, we have a membership system here."

Not any random cat, dog, or beggar on the street could enter.

"Hey, it's okay, this is my friend!" The tall and thin man walked out of the suite. At the sight of this disgraced scene, he hurriedly stopped it and called: "Elder Brother An, go in. Everyone is waiting for you."

The man's name was Xiaohu. He used to be Gong Xuanan's most efficient lackey. He was always cheerful and never angry with others, so he had a nickname of Smiling Tiger.

Gong Xuanan was in a state of high mental alertness and immediately noticed the problem in Xiaohu's words: "Everyone?"

Xiaohu's smile was a little stiff, saying: "Elder Brother Sun, Elder Brother Quan, and those who like to play are here. Elder Brother An, think about it. They are the ones who play the wildest. What have we not seen? I am doing this for your own good. They are addicted to gambling today. If you win a few games, you won't have to worry about the future."

Gong Xuanan stood there for two full minutes. He was pondering and weighing.

As Xiaohu said, the group sitting inside were the ones who played the most in the circle on normal days. Only they didn't look down on his current status.

If he gambled a few games with them like in the past, he might be able to make some money.

Money...

What he needed most now was money.

Gong Xuanan finally made up his mind and followed Xiaohu inside.

Sure enough.

These people were no different from the past. It was as if they had no idea what had happened online. They invited him to drink as usual and agreed to go to gamble later.

In the past, Gong Xuanan always won all of them.

He didn't think it was an exception this time.

Something unexpected happened.

He lost again and again, and the chips in front of him became fewer and fewer until they disappeared completely.

In the end, he lost all his chips and couldn't pay. These people no longer treated him like a brother, but instead kicked him to the ground.

The cigarette butt burned Gong Xuanan. What awaited him next was slaps and footprints one after another and laughter from the people around him.

They commented.

"Xiaohu, you are smart. This is so interesting."

"Each person kick him one time, but you are not allowed to kick his head. Whoever can make him kneel down and call him daddy wins. How about that?"

"Sure. I have been annoyed with this pretty boy's face for a long time. It would be a pity to not kick him."

"In a bit, each of you punch him in the face and see who can knock out a tooth first?"

"Is it too much to play like this? After all, he has the blood of the Gong Family..."

"He is an illegitimate child. Would the Gong Family touch us heirs for him?"

"These years, Young Master Gong had used many tricks. What does this amount to? He’s already tired of this play. Back then, he broke Xiaohu's ribs. Come on, Xiaohu, don't say that the elder brothers don't give you a chance. Come first!"

...

Gong Xuanan curled up on the ground.

At first, his heart was full of anger and humiliation.

He wanted to remember everyone's face and when he gets out of the current predicament, he will definitely pay them back a thousand times.

He will not let any of them go.

Absolutely not.

As his consciousness became more and more blurred and his whole body was in pain as if it was about to fall apart, Gong Xuanan no longer had the earlier mentality. He threw the oath to the back of his mind.

He hugged his head and cried intermittently: "Don't hit me... Dad... Dad, please, I was wrong... Don't hit me..."

He was in great pain.

His thoughts were in a jumble.

＊


On the other side.

Jiāng Zhiyu's current situation was a bit better.

Although the Jiāng Family and the Gong Family cut off her cards, she had a property.

In the house, there were some outdated brand-name bags that she once looked down on, and a set of jewelry that she casually threw here after attending a banquet. Selling all of these could support her for a while.

After living like a rich family’s miss for so many years, how could she have restraint in spending money. How long could this money last for her?

It was fine, it was fine.

As long as she could get through this period of time, her mother would definitely contact her. Her mother would not abandon her.

Jiāng Zhiyu tried her best to comfort herself in her heart, trying to keep the remaining rationality.

However, she began to have hallucinations.

She felt it was so noisy and there were so many people looking at her.

Those people scolded her for being an illegitimate daughter, that she was disgusting, and mocked her wantonly.

Jiāng Zhiyu yelled like crazy, wanting to get all these people out. This lasted until the door was knocked on.

A middle-aged man at the door said impatiently: "Who is it? Why are you making noise in broad daylight? If you holler again, I will complain."

Jiāng Zhiyu covered her mouth tightly, not daring to let herself make any more sound.

She curled up in the corner, covered herself with a quilt, covered her head, and her body kept shaking.

She wanted to sleep... She wanted to have a good sleep, but she couldn't.

It was so painful.

Why couldn't they let her go... Why?

Jiāng Zhiyu no longer yelled. She sat up hastily and smashed her head against the wall again and again.

These were all illusions. All illusions.

She desperately told herself not to take the illusions seriously. She knew everything was fake, but she couldn't control her fear and could only torture herself in this way.

It was until the blood flowed from her forehead, she was finally exhausted. Because she hadn't rested well for a few days, she fainted due to lack of physical strength.

*

There were too many people watching the drama online and the hot searches related to this matter were hung for several days. The popularity remained high and didn’t drop.

There was a small episode amidst it.

Yun Mei sold a considerable portion of her shares and a few idle properties and donated the money to charities in various places.

Initially from the beginning when she was photographed by paparazzi and cursed Gong Wei and Song Xuemei in response. Now she suddenly disappeared.

There were rumors that she donated a large sum of money to a temple, chanting Buddha scripts, eating vegetarian food, and meditating in the temple.

Everything was settled at this point.

Sunk in thought, Gu Qi looked at the KFC on the ‘celebration banquet’ in front of her, and then looked at Song Shiqing sitting next to her and the three Younger Brothers on the other side, and finally sighed.

Forget it.

For the sake of the table full of KFC, let Jiang Lechuan speak first to see what he was thinking.

After learning that there was no real relationship between Elder Sister and ‘Elder Brother-in-law’ but a cooperative transaction, Jiang Lechuan was so shocked that he slid off the sofa.

He was ecstatic.

Haha!

So Song Shiqing wasn't his Elder Brother-in-law? That was great!

So Jiang Lechuan played ‘Today is a Good Day’ and ordered a large portion of KFC as a treat. He called over Elder Brother, Younger Brother, and Song Shiqing.

Of course.

This process was too ostentatious and Gu Qi found out. Worried, she followed him out of concern.

At this moment.

Jiang Lechuan raised his Coke: "Although I don't understand what's going on and how life has become a big bloody drama, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Let's toast and celebrate together!"

Mu Yuan: "..."

He didn't want to drink Coke.

No one wanted to. in order not to spoil Jiang Lechuan's fun, they could only raise their Cokes one by one.

Jiang Lechuan wasn't satisfied with this and continued to entertain as the ‘host’. He looked at Gu Qi and Song Shiqing, "Today is a special day. Come on, down this glass. We will all be friends in the future!

By the way, when are you going to announce your breakup?"

Facing the expectant eyes of her Younger Brother, Gu Qi was speechless for no reason. Look how anxious he was.

Before Gu Qi could answer, Song Shiqing spoke first. He appeared a little hesitant and embarrassed: "It may not be convenient to break up now."

Jiang Lechuan was puzzled: "Why is it inconvenient? If it isn't convenient for you, I can say it for you."

After learning that Elder Sister and Song Shiqing were not in true love, no one in the world was more eager than Jiang Lechuan to get them to break up asap.

Song Shiqing looked at Jiang Lechuan with a sincere expression: "Although the current situation has nothing to do with me, they are my nominal family after all. No one would mention our relationship at this time. If we announce the breakup now, your elder sister will get dragged in."

Jiang Lechuan: "?!"

Was... was that so?

Song Shiqing continued to brainwash him: "Think about it, such matter latched onto me. What will outsiders think if we break up at this time? What if they misunderstand that Qiqi is eager to cut off ties with me..."

"You are not allowed to call my Elder Sister like that!" Jiang Lechuan bared his teeth and rubbed his arm with disgust. His goose bumps were about to appear!

"It is a bit fast. I got used from facing the reporters." Song Shiqing ‘frankly’ admitted his mistake and continued to change the topic back to the original point: "Do you want to see those people misunderstand your elder sister?"

Jiang Lechuan: "..."

Were these things related?

Jiang Lechuan couldn't figure it out.

Wenren Jing looked at Elder Sister who didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and he knew in his heart that even if Elder Sister didn't like Song Shiqing, she at least didn't reject him.

So Wenren Jing spoke up and helped Song Shiqing: "That's right. It’s already chaotic at the moment. Let them fight amongst themselves. There's no need to involve my Elder Sister."

The more Gu Qi listened, the more strange it was.

More strange.

Strange.

She had an entangled look on her face. She felt that she wanted to complain about something, but she didn't grasp the source of this weird feeling.

So Gu Qi wanted to seek help.

She bumped Mu Yuan's arm and asked, "What do you think this scene looks like?"

Mu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand with a black face, and pointed at the four of them one by one.

Gu Qi, Song Shiqing, Jiang Lechuan, Wenren Jing.

"...Daughter, son-in-law, father, mother."

Silent daughter.

Son-in-law who safeguard love.

Father-in-law who didn't like son-in-law.

Mother-in-law who tried to mediate.

A complete big drama.

Amused, Wenren Jing burst into laughter, while Jiang Lechuan wasn't satisfied with this description. He took a step back: "It's not convenient now, so when are you going to announce the breakup?"

Wenren Jing turned to Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing and let two ‘tsk’ respectively before asking Gu Qi with his eyes: You’re not intervening?

Gu Qi had already started eating French fries, and gave Wenren Jing a speechless expression: If you can handle it, go ahead.

Wenren Jing shook his head, looked at Gu Qi again, and blinked in the direction of Song Shiqing: I won't go up, I'm quite satisfied with Song Shiqing.

Gu Qi gave a fake smile, picked up another piece of chicken, and stuffed it directly into Wenren Jing's mouth: Then don't talk, eat yours.

Mu Yuan: "..."

Mu Yuan, who witnessed the whole exchange between Gu Qi and Wenren Jing, fell into deep thought.

How strange.

They didn't say a word, but he understood it completely.

This meal wasn't very pleasant.

Jiang Lechuan saw through Song Shiqing's ‘nature’ and yelled, "Don't say these nonsense! Do you think I'm stupid? You want to pester my Elder Sister! I’m telling you, Song Shiqing, my Elder Sister is the best person in the world, don't even think about it..."

Song Shiqing smiled throughout the whole process, as if Jiang Lechuan wasn't scolding him. Seeing Jiang Lechuan agitated, he poured him Coke: "Don't worry, don't worry, drink it first. Your throat was hoarse."

In the end.

Jiang Lechuan could only burp and stare at Song Shiqing with resentment.

The meal was finally finished with much difficulty.

Gu Qi had to leave first. After confirming that nothing serious would happen, she hurried back to the crew as there was another scene in the evening.

Jiang Lechuan didn't like to drive, while Mu Yuan was a minor. Wenren Jing turned the car key, "It seems that the difficult task of sending you home will be handed over to me, the elder brother."

Song Shiqing stood up first and looked over, "You send Mu Yuan back. Jiang Lechuan and I have something to talk about alone."

"Okay." Wenren Jing made an OK gesture and gazed toward Mu Yuan, "Elder Brother will take you out to play alone. Where should we go... How about the claw machine?"

Mu Yuan felt something was amiss.

According to Mu Yuan's understanding, Wenren Jing was the most curious person in their family. Faced with the fact that Song Shiqing and Jiang Lechuan wanted to be alone, how could he agree without asking any questions?

Sure enough.

When Mu Yuan looked up, he found Wenren Jing winking at him.

Wenren Jing’s gaze swept toward outside the room before turning back to look at Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing. Afterward, he blinked: Let's go first, and catch up with them later.

Mu Yuan hated himself for being too smart.

He didn't want to. He wasn't interested in tailing at all, okay?

Mu Yuan stood up expressionlessly and walked out. Wenren Jing followed immediately.

At this moment.

Only Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing were left in the room.

Jiang Lechuan took out his phone and turned on the recording, vigilantly saying: "What do you want to do? And you deliberately sent people away? I’m telling you, I have evidence!"

Song Shiqing instantly showed a nostalgic expression: "I remember the first time I talked to you. It’s because your phone screen saver was a photo of your elder sister."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Although he was confused, his attitude softened a bit at the mention of the past: "Why bring these things up? I haven't forgotten. Right now, I purely find you an eyesore."

Don't think he couldn't see it! Song Shiqing wanted to play the emotional card and continue to talk to him about Elder Sister! He won't be fooled!

Song Shiqing continued, "Then I watched your performance. At that time, us few mentors gave you the highest grade. You were the first contestant that made us so unanimous. We all said that you will definitely debut."

"And this."

Jiang Lechuan felt a little proud. Even his voice became a little strange. He tried to suppress the rising tone and asked, "How did you...how did you guys see it?"

Song Shiqing looked sincere: "Isn't it simple? Whether it's appearance, stage presence, dance, vocal, there was no shortcoming. Others couldn’t compare to you."

"You guys have good eyesight."

Jiang Lechuan's lips rose wildly.

Of course he knew that he was excellent. Being recognized to the point that it couldn't be slandered by those who hated him was true excellence!

All of a sudden, a hand landed on Jiang Lechuan's shoulder. Song Shiqing looked at him: "Do you want to have a barbecue? I'll treat you."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Was Song Shiqing declaring war on him?

Sure! Let's go! Whoever was afraid was the grandson!

＊

Barbecue stall.

In contrast to the various meat skewers in front of other guests, their table was full of various carbohydrates.

Fried dumplings, baked steamed bread slices, fried instant noodles, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, potato chips... and so on.

All this was exactly the same as it was back then.

At that time, Jiang Lechuan was growing up. As an idol, he had to maintain his figure. Since it was a rare indulgence meal, he made an exception and ordered a lot of carbohydrates.

Jiang Lechuan rubbed his chin.

Earlier at KFC, neither of them ate much. Now both buried their head and dug in. Two big men finished these things quickly.

Despite being full, they could eat more.

Song Shiqing shouted: "Boss, another fifty skewers of beef! More beer."

Just like before.

Song Shiqing placed the plate of skewers in front of Jiang Lechuan and picked up a can of beer: "If your alcohol tolerance is the same as before, drink half a can."

Jiang Lechuan sneered: "Is it so great to drink a can?"

With their alcohol tolerance, what was there to compare?

Song Shiqing answered nonchalantly: "These years, you have been on the stage, while I have been socializing."

He originally had the same alcohol tolerance as Jiang Lechuan, but now he had practiced it.

Jiang Lechuan's eyes instinctively flashed with helplessness.

What?

Song Shiqing returned from studying outside, so could he drink a lot now?

At that time, both of them were drunk and no one had the upper hand. Now he was drunk alone, Song Shiqing wouldn’t take the opportunity to beat him up, right?

Then it would be on the hot search again like before...

No, it was too embarrassing.

Jiang Lechuan's brain was working fast, trying to find a reason to refuse without losing face. However, Song Shiqing had opened the can of beer and put it in front of him: "Drink this half can, then you beat me up. I won't fight back.

All the previous things were brought out and the relationship between your elder sister and I will end as you wish."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

There was such a good thing?

Jiang Lechuan kept a cautious mentality: "Really? I don't believe it."

Song Shiqing wasn't a philanthropist. How could he let him take all the benefit?

Song Shiqing showed him a foxy smile and continued to say what he hadn't finished: "The fake relationship is over, I will officially pursue Gu Qi."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

Sure enough! He knew that Song Shiqing’s thieving mind hadn’t died!

Drink what beer? Drink fart! Fight! He wanted to fight now!

When Jiang Lechuan grabbed Song Shiqing by the collar and stood up, the guests at the nearby barbecue stall tables looked over.

The whole street was lined with tables and stools and the distance between them wasn't too short

Most of the guests at other tables were middle-aged men. It was dark and their faces could not be seen clearly. No one had yet realized that there were two big stars sitting in the corner. They stared at them with confusion.

At this moment, Wenren Jing appeared from another corner and squeezed in: "Don't fight! Let's talk it over!

Take my surname! The child can take my surname, okay!"

Chapter 107

The next day.

When work started and the crew was looking at her with an expression of ‘want to laugh but trying to hold back’, Gu Qi realized that something extraordinary must have happened.

After the first scene ended, Gu Qi picked up her phone and immediately opened Weibo.

Sure enough.

In addition to the usual Gong Family affairs dominating the hot searches, there was another one——

Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing got physical in barbecue stalls.

With a confused face, Gu Qi clicked on a post from a marketing account that was pinned to the top.

Entertainment Everyday V: Shocking! A fight broke out between Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing at a barbecue stall! Wenren Jing tried to stop the fight but got beaten up instead! Click to watch — [Video]

Netizens filled the comment with question marks.

[Ah? What year is it today?]

[This incident was a hot search eight hundred years ago... What, why are they fighting at the barbecue stall again?]

[Version 2.0! Good news! The second part didn't change the main characters! ]

[The owner of the barbecue stall: If you can eat, then eat. If you can't, you two can scram together! ]

[ROFLMAO. Jiang Lechuan never forgot his original aim. After many years of debut, he fought with his mentor.]

[Song Shiqing... you too (holding my forehead and smiling bitterly) As your Elder Brother-in-law go easy with Younger Brother! ]

Gu Qi's lips twitched wildly and she clicked on the video.

Unfortunately, it was not a rumor.

She could recognize everyone in the video even if they turned into ashes.

The time was last night.

Wait... what happened after she left?

Gu Qi endured the headache and continued to watch.

Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing were sitting at the barbecue stall. It was unknown what the two of them said. Jiang Lechuan suddenly flared up and grabbed Song Shiqing's collar and stood up.

As the situation tensed, Wenren Jing appeared out of the blue and pulled them apart.

Another confrontation.

Jiang Lechuan started to attack.

He grabbed Song Shiqing's hair. He grabbed, grabbed, grabbed--

Song Shiqing became furious.

He yelled at Jiang Lechuan. What he yelled was: "If you want to hit me, hit then, Why are you grabbing my hair?"

Jiang Lechuan yelled back at him: "I wanted to ask you this question back then!"

Then Wenren Jing testified for Jiang Lechuan: "Indeed, in the video that was trending back then, you did grab his hair!"

Jiang Lechuan became more and more proud and his movements became bigger. He shouted: "This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine! You deserve it!"

Wenren Jing watched the excitement and reminded Song Shiqing: "Let me see what happened behind... Then Jiang Lechuan pulled your pants off, you can pull them back!

Song Shiqing! Do your best!"

Wenren Jing pinched his throat again: "I support Jiang Lechuan! Come on Jiang Lechuan!"

...

As Song Shiqing kept watching the video to remind them what happened, the scene became even more chaotic.

Of course, Wenren Jing himself got unlucky and was hit a few times because he was too close to the battlefield.

Netizens commented on this:

He asked for it.

[LMAO, the war many years ago was repeated, but this time there was an extra referee]

[If Wenren Jing hadn't been provoking them, I don't think they would have fought so fiercely. hahaha, who would remember that he squeezed in to persuade them to stop fighting! ]

[Wenren Jing... hesitating to say something... He is too fair and just, he kept counting, fearing that either of them would suffer a loss]

[Wenren Jing is a natural referee! Wenren Jing is ruthless and impartial! Wenren Jing is fair and just! I like Wenren Jing the most! ]

[Don't suddenly cheer at such a strange time! ]

Some people started to slow down the video and carefully observe the ‘battle situation’.

[Wait, though it's called a fight, I feel like it’s more like torturing each other...? ]

[+1 above, 1 minute and 37 seconds, Jiang Lechuan definitely pulled off Song Shiqing's shoes and threw them into the trash can. This kind of thing can't be done in a normal fight]

[Did Song Shiqing do anything decent? He grabbed dirt and smeared it on Jiang Lechuan's face! ]

[Stop fighting! You won't kill anyone by fighting like this! ]

[At first glance, the battle is fierce... Looking closely, why was it that only Wenren Jing was injured? ]

[You don't understand, Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing were insulting each other's dignity! This kind of mental damage was more terrible than physical! ]

[Didn't anyone notice that Mu Yuan doing homework in the corner? ]

[I even noticed from the cover that it’s the same teaching aid. He didn’t need any calculation process at all and just wrote the answer by looking and pondering about it. It's so cool]

[@Wenren Jing! Is this how you act as an elder brother? Bringing Younger Brother to this kind of place to do homework? ]

…

The Internet was full of laughter. No one thought that the replay of the battle of the century would be so harmonious.

Nonsense, if they fought like that, the only one who got hurt was Wenren Jing.

Shame…

Simply too shameful.

Jiang Lechuan laid on the bed in pain, burying his whole face in it.

Even more shameful than last time.

Last time, he was at least drunk and became out of control. This time, he fought with Song Shiqing in a sober state (instigated by Wenren Jing).

He was an idol!

It was okay that he didn’t debut before, but now he was a mature idol with many fans! What if the video got out and led underage fans astray?

He was not the kind of person who got impulsive and casually fought. It was an accident! It was all an accident!

He didn’t fight! It was… it was messing around.

Jiang Lechuan’s thought had already went and was asked how to respond to this matter.

How to answer to affect his image.

Just when Jiang Lechuan was thinking hard, he found that the situation had escalated again.

Some netizens found the ‘key point’ by watching the video repeatedly.

[What? What?! Wenren Jing's first sentence was too fast. Should slow down and listen carefully! ]

[Something child can take? What? ]

[Child? Whose child? What child? ]

[Is Gu Qi pregnant? Huh? ? ? ]

[I understand! There is only one truth! It must be because Gu Qi is pregnant, Song Shiqing hopes that she will focus on the family, but Jiang Lechuan is unwilling to let Elder Sister give up her career. Therefore they have a conflict. Wenren Jing suggested that the child can be with him and he can be responsible for raising the child]

[Wow! What a perfect reasoning! Still, it's too ridiculous! ]

[…Wenren Jing takes care of the baby? This scene isn't appropriate. Let’s leave it to Mu Yuan. After all, he is the most reliable Younger Brother]

Jiang Lechuan: “…”

Now the problem was serious. Not only was his image not maintained, it seemed that Elder Sister was implicated.

No baby! No one was going to take care of the baby!

Just when Jiang Lechuan was overwhelmed, he saw Song Shiqing responding to this matter on Weibo.

Song Shiqing’s Weibo posted a video, which seemed to be the simplest vlog recording life.

Numerous meetings.

Gu Qi appeared in the video first.

The next second, the camera switched, showing him looking in the direction of Gu Qi, with a pair of smiling eyes.

He was quietly recording their many meetings.

There were some fragments edited together. The protagonist wasn't Song Shiqing, but everything related to Gu Qi.

Her puppy, her favorite food, her serious expression when reading the script, and her younger brothers.

Jiang Lechuan forever had an angry expression and took out his anger on the things in his hands.

As for Wenren Jing? He was completely the opposite of Jiang Lechuan, always smiling.

Mu Yuan was quiet and well-behaved most of the time, but occasionally when he was pestered by two annoying elder brothers, he would show a very obvious speechless look on his face.

Jiang Lechuan froze a little.

He had never met Song Shiqing that many times, right? Where did this video come from?

Although he was a little confused, Jiang Lechuan continued to watch it.

In the screen.

Song Shiqing looked serious, "Today, I will launch a small challenge, irritate Jiang Lechuan."

The next second, the screen switched to them fighting at the barbecue stall.

Of course, the person who filmed this video wasn't Song Shiqing.

This justified it all.

Song Shiqing guided netizens to think that he and Jiang Lechuan had a good relationship and the so-called fight was messing around. All this was a small game session arranged by him to record his life.

[？ Hahaha as expected of you Song Shiqing]

[Did you do it on purpose? Let us congratulate Song Shiqing for getting the first place in the small game of angering Jiang Lechuan. You can try it too~ (Wenren Jing's tone)]

Someone asked curiously.

[So, who won this time? ]

Seeing that the number of likes for this comment became the first, Jiang Lechuan tried his best to resist the urge to reply to Song Shiqing's Weibo. Still, he couldn't help refreshing it again and again, waiting to see Song Shiqing's reply.

In the end, it was Wenren Jing who said not to hurt him and pulled him away. Therefore, he must have won!

Song Shiqing would definitely brag and spread rumors. He was ready for it.

Having this mentality, Jiang Lechuan saw Song Shiqing's reply.

[1:1 if we count the last time]

Jiang Lechuan was proud.

Ha! Song Shiqing knew what was shame!

Suddenly.

Jiang Lechuan felt that he didn't dislike Song Shiqing as much as before.

A mere defeated opponent! Not worth wasting too much time and eyes on him.

The next second, Jiang Lechuan was slapped in the face.

When he saw another popular comment in Song Shiqing's comment area, he almost bit his teeth.

[So there is a child? Ahhh! ]

Jiang Lechuan couldn't help but reply.

Jiang LechuanV: None! Fake! Rumors!!!

Netizens: "?"

[Is this the real Jiang Lechuan? Not a fake account? ]

[Hahahaha Jiang Lechuan actually appeared in Song Shiqing's comment section. It's hard to imagine that the two people don't even follow each other]

[This series of exclamation marks indicates how enraged Jiang Lechuan is hahaha]

[Jiang Lechuan: Bah! What child! Pah! Pah! ! ! ]

Compared to Jiang Lechuan's anger, Song Shiqing's reply had another meaning.

[Your guess is ridiculous. She is in the rising period and her career is the top priority. ]

Netizens: "!"

[The sweetness! I’m drowning in it.]

[Behind any successful woman, there must be a man who supports her career.]

[Give Jiang Lechuan a hug, he's going to drop pearls! ]

＊

On the other side.

After quickly editing a vlog to respond to the incident, Song Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Gu Qi to say that it was okay.

Some clips about the life of the younger brothers were naturally sent to him by Gu Qi.

Nonsense.

Would he record Jiang Lechuan's life? It was too weird.

As usual, Song Shiqing shared some trivial things with Gu Qi as if nothing had happened.

For example, he saw a beautiful kitten on the roadside.

Gu Qi couldn't appreciate the kitten in her eyes. Her hand opened Song Shiqing's Weibo again and pulled the vlog to the front.

Almost every time they met, Song Shiqing would take a picture of her first glance and then smile back at her.

She didn't notice it at the time, but now it seemed like some kind of... long-planned plan?


What made her more concerned was the sentence that Wenren Jing shouted when he appeared. The background was noisy and netizens didn't hear it clearly, but as Wenren Jing's elder sister, she could distinguish the sentence.

It was a very strange sentence.

Take his surname? The child could take his surname?

What child? Whose child? Who had a child?

Gu Qi felt that the younger brothers as well as Song Shiqing seemed to have something in common; they were hiding from her.

Gu Qi pondered about it and sent a message to Song Shiqing.

This kind of thing shouldn't exist for her three Younger Brothers.

Very concise.

[Do you have a child outside? ]

Song Shiqing replied with a question mark in seconds and sent a gif.

Puppy slapping head jpg.

Gu Qi could only continue typing.

[What did Wenren Jing mean by the word child when he showed up? ]

It wasn’t that she didn't consider asking Wenren Jing directly.

From her understanding of Wenren Jing, he was the type who liked to watch the fun and didn't mind making things big. If he wanted to tell her, she didn't need to ask him.

Relatively speaking, if he didn't take the initiative to say it, asking wouldn't necessarily get an answer.

Song Shiqing was silent for a few minutes.

He didn't know what to say.

In the end, he buried his face in the pillow, "If you want to know, let's talk about it in person."

After all, some matters need to be more formal.

＊

Hospital.

En... why was it a hospital?

Although Gu Qi had already arrived, she found it strange.

It was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Since the filming was smooth today, she was able to finish work early and rushed over to the address sent by Song Shiqing.

It was dark in front of the hospital and the leaves rustled occasionally in the wind, adding a bit of horror movie atmosphere.

And this time.

Gu Qi scanned the hall and accurately found Song Shiqing waiting there.

Sure enough.

His phone was raised and the camera was facing her direction.

As if he realized that Gu Qi was looking at him, Song Shiqing waved his phone and walked toward her.

Gu Qi was confused.

Why did he ask her to meet in the hospital?

And... every meeting was captured. She only discovered this recently.

Facing Gu Qi's confused gaze, Song Shiqing made a hush gesture to her and took her wrist, "Go upstairs."

They came to the third floor.

There was a large balcony here, which looked very well lit. The dim night lights did not make it look as scary as it did outside, but instead added a bit of warmth.

Song Shiqing turned to her and pointed to the balcony: "Here, this is where I first saw you."

Gu Qi remembered that she had indeed been to this place.

But...

Gu Qi thought about it carefully again and didn't have the recollection of meeting Song Shiqing when he was a teenager here.

Song Shiqing wasn't surprised and continued to explain: "Strictly speaking, you and I have no contact, but you have helped my mother.

That time was when I first knew my true identity and knew that she had suffered so many years of grievances for me. I wanted to take her to the Gong Family and confront everyone. I wanted to tell everyone that she was the best mother in the world, not the third party who destroyed other people's families as they said, and I wasn't an illegitimate child who could not see the light. She had been angry with me for so many years and I didn't know at that time that she was afraid of Song Xuelian as well as afraid that I would not be able to protect myself when returning to their control and I would be hurt.

I got into a big fight with her. In the past, I should have accompanied her to the hospital. That time, I was in a bad mood and left home early in the morning. She had no choice but to come to the hospital by herself. At that time, she was mentally down and could not properly communicate with people. She could not even register with the previous medical records in hand. From registration to examination to medicine, you helped her. She cried in front of you, while I hid in the corner, watching you comfort her. "

Song Shiqing naturally regretted the quarrel with his mother. There was no overnight hatred between mother and son. After returning home, the matter passed.

However, he always thought of that girl.

Although they were strangers who had only met once and it was unknown what happened, she patiently accompanied his mother to complete all the procedures required for seeing a doctor in the hospital. She didn't disdain his mother's tears, wiped her tears with a clean handkerchief, and kept comforting her emotions.

Although her face looked a little cold, her eyebrows and eyes revealed concern. Her every move was so gentle.

Like a gust of wind, it blew away the unyielding anger, grief, and the rage to resist regardless of the consequences in the boy's heart.

"I always remembered you as well as that day." Song Shiqing closed his eyes, his earlobes were obviously red, and his voice became a little softer: "... Later I knew that this is called love at first sight."

Was it a confession?

This was a confession!

After saying these words, Song Shiqing was extremely nervous.

He had never felt that time was so long.

It was only a few seconds, but it felt like a century had passed.

Inhale-inhale-inhale-inhale

Wait.

It seemed like more than a few seconds.

Song Shiqing realized that there was something amiss. However before Gu Qi spoke, he didn't dare to open his eyes to face it.

Song Shiqing chose a primitive way to time it. He took a breath and held it.

Until he couldn't hold it anymore.

It must have been a minute and Gu Qi still didn't respond to his confession.

Song Shiqing couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his eyes, and looked at Gu Qi.

What he met was a familiar pair of eyes, but they were full of apologies.

In an instant.

Song Shiqing's heart sank.

This look... didn't like him, so she felt apologetic.

Song Shiqing forced a smile, "What's with that expression? My secret crush on you is my own business, don't feel burdened..."

"I'm sorry." Gu Qi pursed her lips, interrupted Song Shiqing, and continued, "I thought about it seriously for a long time, but I don't remember."

When she was in Jiāng Family, she had some physical discomfort.

Jiāng Zhiyu didn't want to let the family doctor see her every time, and occasionally deliberately tormented her, making her take the bus or walk to the hospital by herself.

Gu Qi didn't want to stay in Jiāng Family either.

Knowing that it seemed like a punishment or a prank to the Jiāng, it was a rare time for Gu Qi to be alone; relaxed and free.

So sometimes even when she wasn’t unwell, she would act and go through the motion of going to the hospital to see a doctor.

This hospital was the one she had been to the most times.

She remembered that the balcony had good lighting.

Whenever she finished some routine examinations and didn't want to return to Jiāng Family so early, she would bask in the sun here and wait for a follow-up visit.

At this time, Gu Qi would meet some older uncles, aunts or grandparents who didn't understand how to use the machine and could only stand here cramped, spreading common normal.

Anyway, she was idle.

In the whole morning, Gu Qi could usually help many people.

After seeing her a few times, the nurse at the side would joke: "Little sister is so nice, the hospital should give you a part-time salary."

Gu Qi remembered that she had met many people. There were those who didn't understand how the machine could do the examination. After all, this was a hospital. It wasn't uncommon for people to lose control of their emotions for various reasons. There were those who came alone to complain about their children being busy at work and not being filial, or those who had low blood sugar and suddenly had their period and needed help to buy candy or sanitary napkins. She would help them if she could, but no one left a deep impression on her.

Gu Qi had never thought that such a small thing would be remembered for so long by the people she helped casually.

That little bit of kindness was remembered by others and had not been forgotten for so many years, but she didn't take it to heart, making her feel a little sorry.

She could only vaguely remember that something like that happened, but she had no impression of who she helped specifically.

She even saw the portrait of Song Shiqing's mother, but she didn't remember it at all.

Song Shiqing understood.

Her apology wasn't a rejection of his confession, but a self-blame for forgetting that matter.

Song Shiqing raised his hand to cover his eyes, turned his face to the side, and faced the wall.

This time, not only the earlobe, but his entire ear turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It felt hot.

It was even a little swollen.

Gu Qi thought he was angry and apologized seriously: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it was too long ago, I... I..."

Gu Qi was silent.

It seemed that there was no suitable explanation.

It wasn't intentional, she didn't remember, she didn't take it to heart.

"I know." Song Shiqing's voice was a little funny. His hand covered the upper half of his face, and he uttered in an almost self-abandonment tone: "That’s why... I like you more."

Of course he knew that she didn't forget it on purpose, but this kind of thing was too sparse and ordinary for her, like drinking a glass of water and eating a meal on an ordinary day. There was no reason to deliberately remember it.

How could he not like her?

** WARNING - READ WITH CAUTION. BELOW CONTAIN VIOLENCE **

Chapter 108

Like?

When Song Shiqing mentioned this word again, Gu Qi's brain finally received the information.

Wait.

She seemed to have missed the point.

Just now, Song Shiqing said that he liked her, right?

What falling in love at first sight... What secret crush... All of them mean like, right?

The first thing that came to Gu Qi's mind was what Song Shiqing had said when she accompanied him to visit his mother.

[It's a girl I've liked for a long time]

[I truly like her]

It turned out that it wasn't her illusion, nor was overthinking on her part.

It took a while for Gu Qi to finally realize that she was confessed to. She opened her mouth but didn't utter any sound.

What was she going to say?

Thank you, you are a good person?

Although Song Shiqing was indeed a good person, it sounded like she was rejecting someone when she said that.

She didn't want to reject him.

Did that mean she should agree? She didn't seem to mean that.

Gu Qi was an extremely rational person.

She had never thought about turning her partnership with Song Shiqing into a real relationship.

Suddenly this possibility was in front of her. It was normal for her to be unable to make a choice for a moment.

She didn't hate Song Shiqing. It could be said that from the first time she saw him, that absurd scene made her feel a little good about this person.

At that time, Song Shiqing did what Gu Qi wanted to do but was unable to do.

He saved the puppy abused by Jiāng Zhiyu.

On the surface, she refused to stay out of it, but in fact, she had a vague expectation in her heart. So she completed this absurd ‘adventure’ with Song Shiqing in the end.

Song Shiqing saw Gu Qi's entanglement. He wasn't in a hurry to ask for the answer, so he changed the topic and returned to the purpose of their meeting today.

The fundamental reason for his fight with Jiang Lechuan many years ago was told in a joking tone at this moment.

After listening to the whole story, Gu Qi remarked that it was outrageous.

No wonder Jiang Lechuan refused to tell her back then.

It made sense to think that the two people who did this were Song Shiqing and Jiang Lechuan.

Gu Qi looked at Song Shiqing again and asked him all of a sudden: "If you could go back to that day, would you fight with Jiang Lechuan again?"

Song Shiqing waved his hand: "I didn't know at that time, but now it seems taking Wenren Jing’s surname is good."

For them.

Surname Song or surname Gu was indeed not a suitable choice.

After the voice fell, facing Gu Qi's slightly surprised eyes, Song Shiqing realized the problem again.

Rounding off.

This time, wasn't it discussing with Gu Qi herself whose surname the child will have in the future? Their relationship was obviously not at that stage.

Wait.

The point wasn't here.

The topic that was only brought up when Jiang Lechuan was drunk at that time was now suddenly told to Gu Qi. At the time when she didn't know him yet, he and her Younger Brother discussed whose surname their future child would take...

This was taking things for granted and being self-indulgent, shameless, brazen, and daydreaming!

Song Shiqing beat himself down in his heart.

Song Shiqing always thought that he wasn't thin-skinned, but now facing the person he fancied, he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Gu Qi didn't mean to ask this, so she asked directly: "What happened yesterday? Why did you fight again?"

Clearly they superficially said that they wouldn’t, but the scene reappeared. Simply a contradiction.

"You know Jiang Lechuan." Reaching here, Song Shiqing was helpless and had a headache. He didn't have the mind to care about shyness and complained: "He had remembered this for many years and never showed any good face to me. If I don't let him vent out the steam, the matter will never pass in my life."

So he could only create the same scene once, let Jiang Lechuan win back, and get back the face he lost many years ago. This way he would not hold on to this matter in the future.

All this was to be able to get close to her after the cooperation ended.

Having said this, he returned to the previous topic.

He liked her.

That was why he wanted to get rid of the biggest obstacle between them in order to be with her.

Though Song Shiqing wasn't in a hurry to get an answer, Gu Qi wasn't willing to bait him. After a brief thought, she no longer hesitated and directly voiced the most sincere thoughts on her mind: "I do have a good impression of you and feel very happy to be with you during this period. If you don't mind, I want to maintain the current relationship. Give me some time, one month, and I will give you an answer."

She wanted to consider it carefully.

As she said, she had a good impression of him, but she didn't know whether she liked him or not.

Song Shiqing froze for a long time. Finally he curved his eyes and analyzed, "Still maintain the current relationship, so outside, under numerous complicated eyes, we are considered a couple, right?"

Gu Qi didn't deny it.

Song Shiqing swept his gaze at the other end of the corridor, where there was an auntie who was getting water. He seriously stated: "There are outsiders here. In order not to be discovered that we are a fake couple, I apply for hand-holding."

Gu Qi stretched out her hand and put it on Song Shiqing's hand. With their fingers intertwined, Song Shiqing got closer to her naturally. His face was normal. If his palms had not been heated and sweating due to nervousness, he would have been flawless.

It was a pity that this physiological reaction was uncontrollable.

After realizing this, Song Shiqing quickly let go, "Sorry, it's a bit embarrassing. This situation has never happened before..."

"It's fine."

This time, it was Gu Qi who took the initiative to hold his hand.

Gu Qi looked at Song Shiqi and described her current feelings: "Do you feel it? My palm is hot. I’m also nervous. Let's overcome it together."

Song Shiqing smiled: "I don't know how to date."

Gu Qi frankly replied: "I don't know how to date either."

Song Shiqing held Gu Qi's hand tightly and led her downstairs, "Then we are at the same starting line and can study together in the future."

Of course.

The premise was that she was willing to give him this opportunity.

＊

"A one-month couple trial period?!"

Ning Xiwei was so excited that she jumped up from the sofa and asked: "Babe, are you serious?"

"Calm down." Gu Qi didn't want to tell anyone, but Ning Xiwei was staying in the crew for the past two days because of Zhizi and happened to encounter Song Shiqing ordering milk tea and fruit for the whole crew.

This kind of thing wasn't uncommon, Ning Xiwei went along and happily had a share. Then she saw that Gu Qi received a box... oh no, a pot of peeled pomelo that was displayed into a lantern.

This was completely different from what they eat, okay?

Ning Xiwei originally thought that Song Shiqing's peeling was normal. After all, they were a couple.

What happened?

There was actually a note next to the pomelo lantern.

It said: Please go out with me!

There was a drawing of a little stick man who bowed and handed a love letter.

The handwriting was beautiful, while the drawing was bad. Ning Xiwei couldn't recognize that the little man was Song Shiqing at all.

So from Ning Xiwei's perspective --

Gu Qi had a new suitor and that person was so blatant!

Wasn't this bad?

Wasn't this immoral?

Educate Gu Qi or support Gu Qi.

There was a little angel and a little devil mentally fighting in Ning Xiwei's mind.

Finally, the latter prevailed.

She helped those close rather than reasoning! So be it if Gu Qi cheated... Song Shiqing must be at fault too...

So when Gu Qi saw Ning Xiwei's face full of hesitation and patted her shoulder "Be careful, don't let Song Shiqing find out".

She understood what Ning Xiwei misunderstood.

No, what kind of person had she become in Ning Xiwei's heart?

Gu Qi brushed aside the previous root causes and only explained that she and Song Shiqing were not in a real relationship at the beginning, but now she had started to consider it.

It was appropriate to talk to Ning Xiwei. This kind of emotional problem... wasn't convenient to communicate with her own younger brothers, especially Jiang Lechuan would explode when he hears it.

Ning Xiwei jumped up and down excitedly like a wild goose in a melon field, but when she turned around, she found that her elder sister was calm and studying how the pomelo lantern was made. She asked: "Elder Sister, dating! They are dating! Why don't you have any reaction at all?"

From CP BE to suspected HE, Ning Xiwei's heart was full of ups and downs, as complicated as a roller coaster.

Gu Qi wanted to correct her.

It wasn’t dating, it was considering whether to date. But seeing Ning Xiwei's excitement, she chose to remain silent.

Zhizi was calm. She finally figured out how the lantern was made. She sighed in her heart that it was too difficult and smiled: "I don't think there is anything to be surprised about. I could always tell that he likes you."

Meeting two pairs of puzzled eyes, Zhizi looked at them helplessly, and explained as an elder: "In any case, people's eyes will fall on the person they care about most. The gaze would never lie. Have you ever thought about how you say you are acting and no one has doubted it for so long?

You have the same expression for everyone... I don't mean that you were expressionless. It’s because he likes you that everyone believes it."

Gu Qi was slightly stunned.

Zhizi gently held her hand and counseled like an elder sister: "Him liking you is his business. You don't have to feel pressured because of it. Like you guys agreed on, give yourself some time to see your heart clearly."

Ning Xiwei's face was full of sadness: "Is it possible that we will attend your wedding when we return to the country?"

Although she had nothing against Song Shiqing, she felt inexplicably sad at the thought that her cabbage was taken away.

"Okay." Gu Qi found Ning Xiwei's expression of despair funny and changed the subject, asking: "Last time you talked about going abroad, when are you going to leave?"

Zhizi's biggest regret was that she didn't keep up with her academic performance.

Now that so many years have passed, there were conditions to make up for it. With Younger Sister by her side, she had no regrets.

Zhizi said: "If nothing goes wrong, we will leave next week. We will go there and adapt to the environment first. My situation is more complicated, so got a lot to do."

Ning Xiwei confidently planned her future life: "Once I study for a few years and properly mature, then I will come back and give the domestic entertainment industry a dimensionality reduction blow."

Looking at the sisters getting along well now, Gu Qi couldn't help but curl her lips. Though she was happy for them, she lamented on the surface: "I won't be able to eat such delicious food made by you in the future."

Gu Qi was only making a casual remark.

Really!

When she saw a group of people at her home on Friday night, she fell silent.

Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing were crowded in the innermost part of the kitchen, both of them defending the right to use the ‘pot’, WHILE Zhizi was explaining something to them.

At the other end.

Ning Xiwei bent over in front of the oven and Mu Yuan beside her was listening and taking notes.

As for Wenren Jing...

Uh, this was weird.

Gu Qi couldn't stand it anymore, "Wenren Jing, get down from the table."

"Wow!" Wenren Jing turned around and found that Gu Qi had returned home. He coughed twice to remind everyone.

Gu Qi looked at the piles of fruits and vegetables on the ground of his house, and he was confused: "What are you doing... a dinner party?"

A dinner party at her house.

And not including her?

So weird.

When she saw Jiang Lechuan and Song Shiqing respectively wearing an apron, she had a vague answer in her heart.

Bingo.

Zhizi smiled a little embarrassedly, "It is Song Shiqing who sought us, saying he wanted to learn a few dishes you like and cook them for you in the future."

"Mu Yuan sought me." Ning Xiwei raised her hand high.

Then, their 2v2 class was discovered. So Jiang Lechuan and Wenren Jing were brought along.

Ning Xiwei’s voice was serious, "Don't be in a daze! Time is running out! Study hard!"

Gu Qi was startled by this voice. Of course, Ning Xiwei winked at her the next second, as if the roar just now was Gu Qi's illusion.

Wenren Jing put his hands on Gu Qi's shoulders and urged her, "Don't watch. You hadn’t got back from the night scene until now and filming tomorrow. Why don't you go to bed early? Let's go——"

＊

A big news story happened in the capital these two days.

The Gong Family and the Jiāng Family sent Jiāng Zhiyu and Gong Xuanan to a mental hospital together.

They said they went crazy and needed to peacefully recuperate.

A short video clip was exposed.

Inside the mental hospital. The camera angle was obviously candid.

On the balcony, Gong Xuanan madly insulted Jiāng Zhiyu that his life was ruined by her stupidity.

Yes.

If Jiāng Zhiyu hadn't wanted to embarrass Gu Qi and Song Shiqing and revealed Song Shiqing's identity as an ‘illegitimate child’ at the wedding, everything would not have reached such an irreversible point.

Gong Xuanan was enraged and irritable. His whole person was crazy like a beast.

Jiāng Zhiyu stared at him with an extremely calm look. There were some bruises on her face. It was obvious that she had been beaten by Gong Xuanan more than once. She was numb to no emotion and only said: "You are so noisy."

Gong Xuanan wanted to beat Jiāng Zhiyu to vent his anger, but was pulled away by the staff. The video ended here.

In comparison, everyone naturally sympathized with Jiāng Zhiyu a little more.

Although the two of them had brought this upon themselves and they were both in the mental hospital together, Jiāng Zhiyu was also bullied by Gong Xuanan. Simply quite miserable.

Within two days, the situation was reversed.

Jiāng Zhiyu committed suicide in the mental hospital.

Before she died, she cruelly cut off Gong Xuanan's genital, the disgusting thing that had entered her body.

Before Gong Xuanan faint from fear and excessive blood loss, the last scene he saw was Jiāng Zhiyu feeding his precious genital to the dog.

Before he had not been completely crazy, but now he was completely insane after this frightening incident.

Ning Xiwei called Gu Qi to discuss this matter: "Although I hate her, I feel a little sad. A wicked person like her is willing to die like this?"

Gu Qi wasn't surprised and explained: "Gong Wei is in poor health and is now almost in dementia and locked up in a nursing home. The Gong Family's property has basically been cashed out by Yun Mei and used in various ways to target the Jiāng Family.

I heard from Shiqing that Yun Mei gave an overwhelming sum to those private detectives. It seems that she found something that could send Jiāng Anguo to prison. As for Jiāng Zhiyu's mother? She had already found someone to marry abroad. The man is an alcoholic and violent at home. Her life isn't easy."

Even if Jiāng Zhiyu could get out of the mental hospital, whether it was the Gong Family or the Jiāng Family, or the only mother who loves her, they have no ability and possibility to accept her and provide her with any help.

Gu Qi knew Jiāng Zhiyu too well.

Eldest Miss Jiāng was born to be a superior person. She had never had a hard day, nor could she live the life of an ordinary person.

Instead of living in frustration, it was better to vent, be fierce to the end, and die directly.

Gu Qi had expected Jiāng Zhiyu's final attack on others.

What she didn't know was who Jiāng Zhiyu would target. So she spent money to pay the mental hospital and asked someone to watch Jiāng Zhiyu and tell her if there was any movement.

So...

Gu Qi took a sip of Americano with an indifferent look.

She reaped what she sowed.

She wasn't a saint.

＊

The recording of the last episode of the show was like a farewell banquet.

The director team was more humane. After some regular game sessions, they arranged a top-notch gourmet dinner for them and a live chat with netizens.

Ning Xiwei had mentioned to fans more than once that she would take her elder sister Zhizi to study abroad and took this opportunity to officially announce it. It wasn't abrupt, but shocking.

After all, Ning Xiwei was currently the top female idol in the country and was gaining popularity in the variety show. It wasn't a wise choice to choose to study abroad during the rising period, which was almost a semi-retired lifestyle.

Facing the doubts of netizens, Ning Xiwei tilted her head: "I like the stage very much and like everyone, but before that, I have more important things to do. When we meet again, I will face everyone in a better state. I hope everyone remembers me."

She wanted to return all the things she owed over the years to Elder Sister.

Although the fans were reluctant, they respect Ning Xiwei's choice.

She was an idol who brought them happiness and she had the right to pursue her own happiness in life.

Under the table, Ning Xiwei quietly held Zhizi's hand. The sisters smiled at each other.


They both made up their minds.

Give up the current stable life and take a road with an unknown ending. As long as they have each other by their side, they will not be alone.

Looking at Chen Yunyao who was listless and glared over from time to time while netizens were praising Ning Xiwei and Zhizi's super sisterly love, Gu Qi quietly poked He Quanyi.

Gu Qi moved away from the microphone and whispered to He Quanyi: "Did I offend him again?"

There was no such matter.

They didn't say much today.

He Quanyi moved the microphone, showing an expression of watching the fun and not minding the trouble, and answered in a whisper: "PL released a new product this morning and there are some problems with the concept map. Shen Anran had not even sat in the position of spokesperson and the contract can only be terminated. Didn't PL originally want to find you as the spokesperson? Fortunately, you didn't sign it at that time. And I heard that there seems to be some problems with the contract. Shen Anran wants to terminate the contract now and it will strip some skin."

Gu Qi understood: "He is suffering from paranoia again. He thinks that I know about this and deliberately didn't accept the endorsement, so that Shen Anran would fall into the trap?"

He Quanyi nodded and made a helpless expression.

The four eyes met.

The two people uttered in unison, evaluating Chen Yunyao: "...mental."

After they laughed together, not expecting that the other party would use such a direct word to describe Chen Yunyao.

Nonsense.

That was the olive branch handed by Jiāng Zhiyu. It would be abnormal for Gu Qi to dare to accept it.

The laughter in the corner naturally attracted the attention of others.

Jiang Lechuan raised his head from a plate of roast suckling pig and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Qi replied casually: "Laughing at your ugly eating manners."

Jiang Lechuan: "?"

He refused to accept it!

In the following time, everyone was lucky enough to see Jiang ·Elegant·British Prince·Lechuan finished eating half of the roast suckling pig with a knife and fork.

[Come on! Bring our Young Master Jiang's red wine! Start music! ]

[Elegant, so elegant (thumbs-up)]

Gu Qi asked He Quanyi again: "Will you be free later?"

Today was the last recording and it would end earlier than usual.

He Quanyi looked at the time: "I have an interview at 9 o'clock in the evening, so I should be free before that."

"I have made an appointment with Ning Xiwei, Zhizi and the other three. After the recording, we will go to the stray pet home to volunteer and start a live broadcast to attract traffic. Yu Wan will come. You want to come?" Gu Qi glanced at Chen Yunyao: "And him."

He Quanyi naturally understood what Gu Qi meant.

Not bringing Chen Yunyao seemed to be a deliberate exclusion.

So the choice was up to Chen Yunyao, let him decide for himself.

"No problem for me." He Quanyi made an OK gesture to Gu Qi: "As for him, I'll ask him later."

＊

Chen Yunyao came too.

Watching everyone busy at their respective jobs, he didn't start cleaning, but stood beside Gu Qi. After a long while, he said, "Who are you acting for?"

"Act for everyone." Gu Qi pointed to the live broadcast camera and smiled at Chen Yunyao: "There are many viewers, you should properly act."

After all, there was no deep hatred between her and Chen Yunyao and there will probably be no chance to meet again in the future.

Even if Chen Yunyao hated her, he was willing to come to this kind of public welfare event. One more guest meant more traffic and one more audience may get to know and participate. This was a good thing.

So Gu Qi didn't care about Chen Yunyao's attitude, put a broom in his hand, and was busy bathing the adopted puppy with Yu Wan.

Water splashed on Gu Qi, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she told Yu Wan seriously: "Stop a bit. It’s probably scared. I'll feed it some snacks first."

Yu Wan raised her hands obediently, kept a distance from the puppy, and waited for Gu Qi's next command.

Chen Yunyao's eyes fell on Gu Qi, with a little complicated gaze.

He had followed them not for charity, but to make some sarcastic remarks after they finished posing.

Now.

A few hours had passed and these people were doing their own things. The live broadcast had ended and there was no sign of stopping.

Looking at everyone getting along harmoniously and talking and laughing.

Chen Yunyao lowered his head and continued to peel the eggs in front of him.

Suddenly...

He felt a little lonely.

This lasted until He Quanyi had to leave first for an interview. She called him, "Let's go together."

Although their relationship wasn't very good, it wasn't appropriate to leave Chen Yunyao here alone.

Chen Yunyao nodded, stood up, took off his apron, and washed his hands.

Perfect timing.

He went to find Anran.

Because of PL's matter, Anran should be feeling down now. He should go to see her.

When Chen Yunyao drove to Shen Anran's apartment, he found that the door was ajar.

Someone had arrived before him.

Shen Jinyi's voice sounded from inside, obviously a little helpless, but wanted to comfort: "Don't cry, this matter isn't as serious as you think. Go home first. As for the penalty fee, we’ll go plead with Dad together."

PL's position problem forced Shen Anran to terminate the contract, but there was an unreasonable high penalty. It meant she had worked for nothing in the past few years and all her savings were not enough.

Chen Yunyao wanted to push the door in.

He had money. He had plenty of money.

Although he would be scolded by his parents for taking out a large sum of money in a short period of time, he would definitely be able to help Anran overcome the difficulties.

"Plead with him?" Shen Anran's voice was a little cold, "Didn't you read the contract? As long as I quit the entertainment industry, everything will be written off. What do you think he will choose?"

Father Shen was already quite dissatisfied with his daughter being an actress. If he had read the contract, between paying such a large sum of money and his daughter quitting the entertainment industry, he would definitely choose the latter.

The familiar voice wasn't as gentle and soft as before, but carried a strong hatred, which made Chen Yunyao unconsciously withdraw his foot that wanted to step in.

Shen Jinyi continued: "If he doesn't give it, I have some money. I can sell a few houses and we can get it together first. Although it may not be enough... but believe me, there must be a way."

"A way." Shen Anran's voice almost cracked: "What did I do wrong? Why did everything become like this? It's all Gu Qi's fault... It's all her fault. She knew the trap of this contract but didn't remind me. She didn't like me for a long time. It's all her fault."

She only understood it now.

This contract was the trap that Jiāng Zhiyu wanted to set for Gu Qi. In addition to the sky-high compensation for breach of contract, there were many unreasonable places.

It was that she wanted to get the identity of the top luxury spokesperson too much at that time and was too anxious to suppress Gu Qi. So she was blinded and lost her ability to judge.

Unforeseen, PL's management in the domestic area was in chaos because of Jiāng Zhiyu's affairs and the fall of the Gong Family. Soon, it broke out.

"Gu Qi?" Shen Jinyi's voice seemed a little confused. After a long silence, he said, "You two don't have a good relationship. There’s nothing wrong with her not reminding you..." Shen Anran interrupted him and shot back, "Elder Brother, even you have to stand on Gu Qi's side?"

In Shen Jinyi's opinion, it wasn't a question of standing sides. He was only stating facts.

But seeing that Younger Sister didn't want to listen to anything at the moment, he shut up.

Shen Jinyi's silence made Shen Anran vent all her anger on him.

She called him a fool and an idiot who couldn't be relied on. If she had an elder brother like Jiāng Fengzhi, things would definitely not turn out like this.

Speaking of Jiāng Fengzhi. Shen Anran calmed down a little. She wiped her tears, "Elder Brother, do you know? I really can’t accept it. Why can Gu Qi's existence easily take away everything I have? Originally, Jiang Lechuan should like me and be willing to do anything for me. I should be Jiāng Fengzhi's wife. But they don't have me in their eyes... They don't have me... I have tried so hard, what did I do wrong..."

She finally broke down.

She sobbed in Shen Jinyi's arms.

Shen Jinyi could only comfort Younger Sister while mind worked a beat slow: "...What? Do you like Jiāng Fengzhi?"

He always knew that Younger Sister treated Gu Qi as an imaginary enemy, but...why was Jiang Lechuan involved?

What was going on?

His CPU was going to burn.

Shen Anran pushed away her elder brother, closed her eyes, and finding it laughable and exasperating: "I took on everything, so you can be an idiot without worries for so many years."

Although Shen Jinyi didn't understand the cause and effect of these things, he knew that his beloved younger sister was sad.

He didn't mind Younger Sister's scolding and pursed his lips: "If the price of becoming the heir of the Shen Family is that my Younger Sister has to plan for me all her life and can't live for herself, then this is the depressing matter in my life."

Live for herself?

This sentence reminded Shen Anran that a long time ago, it seemed that someone had said this to her.

"Anran, I don't understand, but I respect your decision.

Anran, we broke up a long time ago, please forgive me for sending you a message again.

I want to tell you that I am going abroad to study the major I like and will not come back after graduation.

Do you remember what I told you? My dream is to be a cameraman, specializing in photographing wild animals. Isn't it cool?

Okay, Anran, I know you won't reply to my message. I'm leaving. I hope you can live for yourself, happy and smooth."

This was the last message sent to her by her first love before he went abroad.

As usual, Shen Anran didn't reply, and coldly blacklisted the other party's contact information.

Later, she heard that he became a cameraman with some fame.

The video he shot was on the hot search and she clicked on his Weibo.

Countless wild animals, travel around the world, meet different people and experience local customs and folkways. His life was like a rich and exciting adventure.

Another girl appeared beside him.

Not as pretty as her.

With single eyelids and a flat nose; she would not stand out in the crowd.

Still, her smile was very contagious and it inexplicably attracted people's attention to her.

Her handsome first love stood beside that girl; tanned and his teeth were the brightest when he smiled.

They looked very happy.

At that moment.

Shen Anran tried to force a smile in the mirror.

It was perfectly fake.

She wasn't happy.

She had been muddle-headed for these years; not knowing why she lived and for whom she lived.

In the end, it was all in vain.

She looked up in a trance.

Outside the crack of the door.

She saw a stunned Chen Yunyao standing there.

Meeting Shen Anran's gaze.

The goddess he thought was kind and gentle was actually so hysterical in private.

More importantly...

She actually liked Jiāng Fengzhi and wanted to marry Jiāng Fengzhi, so what was he?

Chen Yunyao didn't know what to say.

All this overturned his cognition. His instinct made him take two steps back and flee the scene.

He wanted to be alone, calm down, and digest what he had heard.

Shen Anran closed her eyes.

She didn't chase Chen Yunyao to explain, because she clearly realized that the last way was no longer feasible.

Forget it.

Leave it like that.

She was too tired.

Now she wanted to have a good sleep.

If this was a nightmare, would everything be restored to the original state after waking up?

She regretted it so much. Because those empty and predictable dreams made her life go to a dead end.

Shen Anran murmured: "...Is there any way back for me?"

Shen Jinyi suggested: "I know, let's go and ask Paternal Uncle. Didn't the movie finish shooting? With such a large investment, Paternal Uncle will definitely help us."

Shen Anran's eyes lit up.

Yes.

How could she forget that there was Paternal Uncle.

As long as the movie was released and could achieve good results, then her career will have a chance.

A ten million IOU.

Shen Wei felt pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

The movie had finished shooting. If the female lead couldn't participate in the promotion when it was released, his entire movie would be in vain.

This movie must achieve good results no matter what.

The box office competition during the Spring Festival was already fierce.

Shen Wei had invested countless times in the promotion of his movie ‘Qiu Chao’. The movie became popular before it was released. A few movies that were released at the same period, except for 'Chun Sheng' by Gu Qi and Xie Yun, were suppressed to the point of not being discussed.

Shen Wei had always been willing to spend money. With the money in place and after watching the preview, film critics in the industry wrote thousands of words of praise for him. For a time, it became the most anticipated movie by netizens. Naturally it received the highest screening ratio on the day of release in most theaters.

At the dinner party.

Xie Yun looked at Gu Qi calmly and asked: "Aren't you afraid of the current situation?"

"It's fine." Gu Qi answered honestly: "After all, I have been mentally prepared since the beginning of the filming."

They had experienced Shen Wei's insidious methods early on.

With the current situation, they were prepared.

Gu Qi was very confident in her performance. She had played the role in her best condition. She believed that Xie Yun 's professionalism as a director would definitely be able to present the best side of this movie.

In terms of publicity, 'Chun Sheng' didn't expend that big of a budget and was indeed suppressed. Still, it was definitely above the passing line.

Mo Ming and Xie Yun both ‘came out’ again after many years, while Gu Qi was a new traffic flower and had enough popularity.

The first day.

'Chun Sheng' got a good result of 600 million box office on the first day, while most other movies only had a box office of tens of millions, while the highest barely broke 100 million.

It was a very good start, if...

If Shen Wei's 'Qiu Chao' wasn't the opponent.

Because of the almost crazy publicity and marketing.

'Qiu Chao' broke the 1 billion box office in a single day, directly breaking the single-day box office record in the domestic country in the past five years.

The official blog and the main creative team went wild about it. Shen Wei was so overjoyed that he almost held a celebration banquet.

Win!

A crushing win!

However, along with the high box office, it came with a low reputation.

The chaotic editing order, the inexplicable use of montage, the contradictory and face-slapping personality of the male protagonist, and the embarrassing sublimation at the end; all made netizens dissatisfied after watching the movie.

At first, Shen Wei didn't take it too seriously.

Anti-fans.

They must be anti-fans!

Controversy was normal, and such a high box office was a real achievement.

Shen Wei could already imagine how many awards his crew could win at major award ceremonies this year.


However, what happened next wasn't what he expected. The next day, the box office of 'Qiu Chao' dropped to only 400 million. On the other hand, it was completely the opposite. The box office of 'Chun Sheng' was completely stable and began to rise.

A character that could make people empathize, Chun Sheng's life was like ‘you, me and her’ that could be seen everywhere in our lives.

The development method was similar to that of art films, but it cleverly accelerated the rhythm of the plot development and people wouldn’t find it boring and long.

The comments of netizens were like this.

[Xie Yun 's lens language skills are too strong. No frame of the lens was used to make up the number]

[I finished watching it yesterday and can't wait to watch it again today]

[In fact, the plot isn't complicated, but the details are done too well. There were many foreshadowings and slowly savoring. The more you think about it, the more you get excited]

[Mo Ming is really. I feel relieved when he is in the film industry. He is like a stabilizing force]

[Yes, there aren’t many scenes, but every scene is so amazing]

[No one praises Gu Qi? It’s the first time I’m amazed by her performance. It was immersive.]

[I always thought she is aloof and has a narrow acting range... I was slapped in the face. For the first time, I felt what it meant to have eyes that could speak. When she cried, I cried too.]

[My mother's eyes were red after watching it. After getting home, she told me about her youth for a long time.]

[Different perspectives, different feelings. My grandparents were quite happy to watch it. They thought it was a family reunion.]

[What kind of life you live, you will see what kind of story. ‘Chun Sheng’ is a good movie suitable for all ages.]

[Sisters! Is there anyone who wants to watch it again! ]

…

Noon on the fourth day.

Twelve o'clock.

The box office of 'Chun Sheng' surpassed that of 'Qiu Chao'. There was needless to say how the rating was.

The film critics who were paid to praise 'Qiu Chao' were now a little embarrassed. In order to prevent their fans from leaving, they could only comment on 'Chun Sheng' one by one.

The difference was that.

The former forced praise, now they could finally write some of their own sincere thoughts.

Anyway, they only agreed to praise 'Qiu Chao' by Shen Wei, and didn't say that they could not praise other films.

The peak was during the release. Following this, the box office was on a cliff-like decline. Less than a week later, it was so bleak that it could not break 10 million.

The Spring Festival was the best time period.

The box office of 'Qiu Chao' was less than 10 million, which was equivalent to one percent of the box office on the first day. Among them, there were many viewers who wanted to see what this film could be like. This was enough to be recorded in the history of shame in the film industry.

Also on this day. The official blog of 'Chun Sheng' posted a message to celebrate the box office breaking the 4 billion mark and finally stopped at the number of 6.5 billion, becoming the well-deserved dark horse of this year and the ‘stumbling block’ that other movies need to challenge in the next year. It achieved a double harvest of box office and word of mouth.

Unsurprisingly, the entire crew of 'Chun Sheng' had booked into the finals of major film festivals.

In September.

At the most authoritative Jince Film Festival awards ceremony in the country, the crew of 'Chun Sheng' won dozens of nominations for awards. In the end, how many trophies they could finally win had become the biggest highlight.

Because the Jince Awards was a place that looked at comprehensive data, the crew of 'Qiu Chao' received a few nominations with the high box office on the first day. The director was Shen Wei, a senior in the industry, and Lin Haoyin's acting skills, although the role was superfluous, were indeed good.

The live broadcast room was full of mocking voices.

[Qiu Chao? Huh? I remember how badly this movie was mocked when it was released. Don't call it Qiu Chao {literally Autumn Tide} anymore, change it to Qiu Chao{Literally Autumn Ridicule} hahaha]

[Has Shen Wei not made any new movies this year? He looks old]

[Director, why is the camera cutting to Gu Qi's face at this time? ]

[Fortunately, our elder sister wasn't naturally fond of smiling, otherwise who knows how it would be maliciously interpreted]

[This isn't a red carpet walk. This is a public execution]

[According to the grapevine, although the reputation and box office of 'Qiu Chao' aren’t great, it’s the movie with the highest publicity and distribution investment in recent years. Shen Wei is losing money]

[I remember that the clothing sponsor of Qiu Chao is so angry that he directly unfollowed Weibo when the box office of the movie dropped below 10 million hahaha]

[Walk slowly, cherish this red carpet. Who knows if there will be a next time]

[Not really, Shen Wei is a big director after all. He has the capital for trial and error. Lin Haoyin and Shen Anran as male female leads are the ones who are in trouble. Both of them were regarded as ratings and box office poison. No big director dares to use them for a while]

[Is there anyone who doesn't know? Another TV series starring Lin Haoyin has such low ratings that it’s directly cancelled by the TV station]

[Shen Anran isn't great either. The last time she appeared was in an A-level drama three months ago, playing the second female lead. After Qiu Chao, her resources have been downgraded too much]

[Shen Anran still knows what respect is and simply does not come. Unlike Lin Haoyin, he attended the red carpet with an ugly expression.]

[Lin Haoyin must be regretting this time. He made the most wrong choice in the world]

Gu Qi didn't pay much attention to the crew of 'Qiu Chao'. What made her delighted was that she saw He Quanyi at the award ceremony.

It was an unpopular suspense film. In a not-so-good schedule, it barely made 500 million in box office, but it won the highest score on Douban this year.

It was produced with a small budget and almost no theater schedule in the early stage, but it relied on word of mouth to make a comeback and received multiple nominations. It was rated as the most underrated movie of the year.

The biggest beneficiary was He Quanyi, the second female lead. She was nominated for the best female support even though she was only there to walk the red carpet.

The big-budget movie she originally wanted to star in achieved mediocre box office results. Although it received a few nominations, it was to make up the numbers and it would had been impossible for her to win an award.

So when she successfully won the best female support role, standing on the stage with the trophy, He Quanyi first uttered some polite words, and then changed the subject: "Here, I want to thank someone, that is my biggest competitor for so many years, Gu Qi."

The whole audience cheered, and the camera was directly facing Gu Qi.

Gu Qi raised her hand and waved politely toward the camera, and looked in the direction of He Quanyi, smiling and waiting for her next speech.

He Quanyi continued: "When I took this movie, there were many negative comments on the Internet and I was under great pressure. It was Gu Qi who accompanied me and enlightened me, which made me firm in my choice. I want to say, Gu Qi, our competition isn't over yet. Next time, I will definitely surpass you at the box office."

Gu Qi covered her mouth and showed a surprised expression: "I think I won this award many years ago. Are you sure your competitor is me?"

He Quanyi's face fell with a whoosh.

The audience burst into laughter. It was rare to see an elder sister like He Quanyi being criticized.

[Hahaha, I almost forgot that Gu Qi is regarded as the strongest newcomer in the industry because she won this award]

[Translation, Gu Qi: I have already achieved what you have worked so hard for for so many years]

[ROFL. Gu Qi, you are not allowed to play with Wenren Jing! Why are you so mean? Give me back my gentle elder sister! ]

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The insult was already out and Gu Qi still had to give He Quanyi some face. She curled her lips, "I am happy for your courage and persistence."

He Quanyi's expression eased. She snorted and walked off the stage, which caused another round of laughter from the audience.

Next, the best female lead was announced.

Gu Qi admitted that she was very nervous.

Because there was another very strong opponent in this nomination; actress Shu Lin as well as film queen in the same period, Meng Hanjiao.

When the presenter of the best female lead walked onto the stage, the whole audience screamed. Even Gu Qi widened her eyes in surprise, instinctively looking at director Xie Yun sitting next to her.

The barrage was buzzing.

[WTF TF TF! Meng Hanjiao! It's Meng Hanjiao! ]

[I let out a sharp howl! ]

[The ageless goddess? How come there is no difference from before! ]

Meng Hanjiao stood on the stage in a red dress, smiling and greeting everyone: "Dear fans and friends, long time no see, I am Meng Hanjiao."

She looked in the direction of Xie Yun again and continued: "Elder Sister Xie Yun, Shu Lin, long time no see."

Xie Yun pursed her lips tightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she gave face: "En."

Shu Lin smiled: "Jiaojiao, I miss you very much."

At that time, Shu Lin and Meng Hanjiao were actresses who admired each other and were competitors in the eyes of the public.

Meng Hanjiao was a typical talented actress, while Shu Lin was famous for her diligence. Both of them have left a strong mark in the film industry.

Meng Hanjiao sighed: "Just seeing Xiaoqi and Quanyi bickering is like seeing you and me when we were young."

Shu Lin showed a disgusted expression: "Don't. You aren’t as beautiful as them."

The audience burst into laughter again.

Meng Hanjiao wasn't a typical beauty in the entertainment industry, but she had a top-notch aura. People will feel good about her at first sight, thinking that she was gentle and determined.

However, such a person clenched her fist and gritted her teeth when facing good friend’s ‘ridicule’, and directly changed the topic: "Today I am here as an award presenter. Let us look forward to who will win the best female lead this year. Please look at the big screen-"

On the screen.

The performance clips of the nominated actresses were played in turn. After the broadcast, the number of votes for each person was directly displayed above their heads.

This was the most fair and just part of the Jince Awards. Hundreds of professionals in the industry participated in the voting and every vote was open and transparent.

The votes for a few actresses have stopped and they have obviously withdrawn from the ‘finals’. Only Gu Qi and Shu Lin's votes were growing.

Meng Hanjiao had an on-the-spot expression and gave a real-time explanation: "Ah, one is my good friend, and the other is the female lead of my benefactor Director Xie. I don't know which side I should stand on."

Shu Lin outright sneered: "Don't think I didn't see it. You obviously voted for Gu Qi!" Amidst everyone's laughter, Meng Hanjiao made an awkward expression and looked back at the screen: "Why are the judges' votes so clear? Improve it next time."

Amidst the laughter, Shu Lin's votes stopped at 29.

The whole audience was silent for a moment, staring at the number on Gu Qi's photo. It was increasing.

Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two...

Finally, it stopped at thirty-seven.

The whole audience applauded and congratulated Gu Qi.

Meng Hanjiao curved her eyes and turned to Shu Lin: "Can’t be helped. This shows that my vision is right. Please give warm applause to welcome the best female lead of the 35th Jince Awards, Gu Qi!"

The moment she stood on the stage and held the trophy, all these years of hard work and persistence finally turned into concrete happiness at this moment.

Many years ago.

When she stood here for the first time and won the Best Female Support Award, she once said: "As an actor, it’s my happiness to be recognized by everyone."

She was in a trance for a few seconds.

Gu Qi bowed to the audience. She first said some polite words of gratitude and finally she said: "As an actor, it is my happiness to be recognized by everyone. I am overjoyed that I once thought so. After so many years, it’s still the same. I hope that everyone can go smoothly on the road of passion. See you at the next awards ceremony."

[I was so nervous before the results came out! It's Gu Qi! Our Chun Sheng is brilliant to watch! ]

[Ahhh! From now on, we will be fans of the film queen! ]

[See you at the next awards ceremony? Good, good, good, Gu Qi, are you putting a vow here? You are so brazen! ]

[What's the matter? I want an ambitious person, I want an ambitious person! ]

[I heard that Gu Qi and Wenren Jing are working together in a new movie. The siblings are playing siblings! ]

[Wenren Jing hasn't been in the crew for almost a year. It’s said that he directed this movie himself and personally selected and persuaded every actor]

[Oh? ! The expectations are to the max! ! ! ]

The audience applauded.

Gu Qi held the trophy and looked at Meng Hanjiao beside her.

Meng Hanjiao looked at her gently, "You are great, you are the best Chun Sheng in my heart."

Others thought it was an ordinary compliment.

In Gu Qi's opinion, being recognized by Meng Hanjiao was the real ‘success’.

Meng Hanjiao held Gu Qi's hand and they walked off the stage together: "I am very happy to see you live like what I once wanted to be.Gu Qi, keep going on this road."

＊

The crew of 'Chun Sheng' won many awards. Gu Qi won the Best Actress award over Shu Lin. Xie Yun and her two generations of ‘Xie girls’ were in the same frame. These hot searches made the focus of the film festival fall on them without any suspense.

No one who was close to Gu Qi could escape being interviewed.

Mu Yuan was already a freshman. As soon as he came out of the classroom, a bunch of paparazzi dressed as students surrounded him.

"Mu Yuan! What do you think about your elder sister Gu Qi winning the Best Actress award?"

"Mu Yuan! What are you going to do now? Are you going to attend Gu Qi's celebration party?"

Mu Yuan calmly put on the face mask: "In my opinion, my Elder Sister is the most awesome person in the world."

……

Jiang Lechuan was holding a personal autograph session. Unlike the previous female fans, today there were a bunch of men he didn't know. It was impossible for them to be his fans at that age!

How strange.

Sure enough.

When a ‘male fan’ held his hand and asked: "Jiang Lechuan, did you watch the live broadcast of the Jince Awards? About Gu Qi winning the best female lead..."

"What!?" Jiang Lechuan jumped up from his seat to find his phone, leaving the staff behind him to yell helplessly: "Where are you going?! Autograph! Come back for the autographing!!!"

...

Wenren Jing?

Wenren Jing was a mysterious man. Due to the his new movie, he was elusive at the moment. No one could find him.

...

When Ning Xiwei was caught by a passerby for an interview, she was squatting on the street in a certain country in a sweatshirt, baggy pants and slippers, chatting with a passerby homeless man and eating a hamburger together.

Ning Xiwei had ketchup on her mouth. When a fan who recognized her asked her if she knew that Gu Qi had won the award, she turned her phone over to face the fans with pride. This was her answer.

On the live broadcast on the phone.

It was the award ceremony of the Jince Award.

At this moment.

A beautiful woman in a sexy suspender skirt came over and waved and called: "Xiaoxi, time to go back."

The beautiful woman approached and the camera captured her face. It was Zhizi.

Netizens: "???"

[Ning Xiwei? No...you? Zhizi? You? ]

[Shocked my whole family, did you two let yourselves go free together? ]

[You two sisters went abroad, not COS, right? ]

…

As for Song Shiqing? He was helping to bathe the dogs at the stray pet home and still couldn't escape the paparazzi's pursuit. The live camera was almost in his face.

The TV behind him was playing the live broadcast of the Jince Award.

Song Shiqing raised the puppy's hand and introduced it directly: "The latest one, a golden retriever with a very good personality, but it’s very clingy. If you have time to play with it, please contact us."

He grabbed another one: "This is a small local dog. It’s the best dog to catch mice here. Friends who are troubled by this, you might as well take action if you are moved."

Song Shiqing didn't let any of them go: "This cat is more socially anxious and doesn't like to be with people. Still, it has a very good personality and won't attack people. If you want to raise a cat but don't want to spend too much time, choose it. Let me think about what else is attractive about it. I thought of one... Xiaoqi had held it."

Paparazzi: "?"

They came to interview Song Shiqing, not to open a live broadcast room for him to ‘promote’ cats and dogs!

Netizens: "!"

[Hahaha, the style of this live broadcast room isn't right]

[Song Shiqing controlled the paparazzi for ten minutes by introducing cats and dogs! ]

[He controlled me! Hahaha! ]

The paparazzi tried to regain his home court.

Someone asked: "Teacher Song, will you have dinner with Teacher Gu Qi tonight?"

Song Shiqing nodded naturally: "Of course, the celebration banquet will be held."

Someone else asked him a lot of questions about Gu Qi.

Song Shiqing had a good temper and was in a good mood today. Naturally, he was willing to chat with them for a few more words and he directly said with a hint of meaning: "You are delaying my work here. Xiaoqi said that I have to wash these dogs today."

Next, netizens saw a ‘magical’ scene.

The few paparazzi with experience in raising pets were responsible for bathing the cats and dogs, while the rest interviewed Song Shiqing.

Song Shiqing directed them to work while answering questions.

Until a reporter asked: "Teacher Song, can you share with us the details of your relationship with Teacher Gu? For example, why do you like Teacher Gu?"

"Don't exclude it, there is a gray one in the corner that had not been washed. Each one is important." Finishing this, Song Shiqing turned his head around, frowned slightly, and pondered for a while, as if he had heard the reporter's question.

Then.

He answered half-jokingly: "Maybe, I am one of the many puppies she had helped."
