The coffee shop was quite crowded, mostly with crew members and actors from the film crew. Since they couldn't go to work, they had some free time to relax.

“Sister Lu Qi, you’re having coffee here too. Can we sit here?” Seeing that she was also having coffee, Gu Qingqing pulled Gu Mu to sit opposite her.

“Sure.” Lu Qi smiled, her gaze falling on Gu Qingqing, then glancing casually at Gu Mu.

"Sister Lu Qi, you're so kind. You're beautiful inside and out, and dedicated to your job. Unlike someone who's always causing trouble, making it impossible for everyone to work today."

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but complain.

She still quite liked Lu Qi. She had only known him for a day, but she thought Lu Qi was a very beautiful and kind person. He was very serious about filming, not afraid of hardship, and had vivid expressions. He didn't have any idol baggage.

Lu Qi just smiled and didn't say anything, her gaze occasionally falling on Gu Mu.

Pretending not to notice, Gu Mu called over a waiter and ordered three coffees and several cakes and pastries.

Qiao Ziyang sat down as well, looking at Lu Qi's agent, Xu Hua, who was sitting opposite him. "Has the person been chosen? When can they arrive?"

Xu Hua said with a smile, "The candidate has just been chosen and we've contacted them, but they won't be able to arrive until tomorrow."

"I see." Qiao Ziyang was a little disappointed. Now that the role had been chosen, there was no way to arrange for Gu Qingqing to take on a role.

"Really? Filming tomorrow is good too. Let's treat today as a day off. Let my second brother get some rest so he can be in top form tomorrow."

Gu Qingqing still remembered that Gu Mu had been filming yesterday and had soaked in cold water for half an hour, which was really bad for his health.

However, since the new second female lead is coming to the set tomorrow, we'll have to reshoot the scenes.

In other words, Gu Mu will have to go through another round of this, but he doesn't know if that woman is a good actress or professional.

"Which one is it?" Qiao Ziyang took a sip of coffee, eager to know the name of the new second female lead.

Xu Hua uttered three words: "Fan Yuexin".

"What? It's her?" Qiao Ziyang shouted, startled and standing up from his chair.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously, not remembering who Fan Yuexin was for a moment.

Qiao Ziyang's face was full of embarrassment. He glanced at the silent Gu Mu, quietly sat down in a chair, and did not answer.

"Who is she, Second Brother?" She noticed the strange behavior between Qiao Ziyang and Gu Mu, and realized that the woman named Fan Yuexin must be the problem.

Otherwise, why would they be embarrassed?

"He's just an actor. You'll see when you meet him tomorrow. Kid, don't ask so many questions." Gu Mu avoided the main point and didn't want to answer.

“That’s right! Kid, don’t ask so many questions,” Qiao Ziyang chimed in.

Gu Qingqing pouted, looking displeased. "Oh, now you're treating me like a child? You wanted me to act in a movie just now, but wasn't I a child then?"

Gu Mu scooped a piece of cake with a small spoon and put it in her mouth to stop her from talking.

The more he did this, the more curious she became.

"Mmm..." With cake in her mouth, unable to spit it out and not wanting to eat it, Gu Qingqing glared at Gu Mu, but in the end, she had no choice but to quickly eat it in one bite.

"Second brother, what are you doing? How annoying!" He almost choked to death.

"Drink some water." Gu Mu handed her a glass of water.

Sitting opposite, Lu Qi watched the two siblings' every move, and as an outsider, she felt somewhat awkward.

She knew why he didn't tell Gu Qingqing about Fan Yuexin. It was because this woman was somewhat tainted, notorious in the industry for being a "high-class prostitute," using her body to get a few acting opportunities and climb from being an unknown to a third-tier actress.

She tried to seduce him several times, using her body to exchange for resources, but he rejected her. Enraged, she targeted him in the media several times, speaking ill of him.

This collaboration between the two is likely to cause another major problem.

"Brother Qiao, tell me secretly! I won't tell anyone." Gu Qingqing whispered to Qiao Ziyang.

"I don't dare, don't ask me." Qiao Ziyang shook his head frantically, shifted his bottom, and sat a little further away from her, looking like he was about to run away for his life.

He dared not mention anything about the bus in front of her; Gu Mu would kill him if she found out.

This made Gu Qingqing even more curious. Since none of them said anything, she simply took out her phone and searched for "Fan Yuexin" on Baidu, finding information about her.

The information presented a positive picture, so she didn't notice any major problems.

There are only a few minor issues: this person doesn't take acting seriously, doesn't respect others, is often late for filming, acts like a diva, and likes to swear.

Gu Qingqing had no idea that Fan Yuexin and Gu Mu had any collaboration. Just as she was searching for information about Fan Yuexin on the forum, a passage from the book suddenly popped into her mind.

Gu Mu once had a disgusting suitor who tried to seduce him several times, attempting to exchange her body for benefits. However, after being rejected by him, she repeatedly targeted and slandered him in the media.

Could this disgusting suitor be Fan Yuexin?

Otherwise, why would he and Qiao Ziyang look like they'd just eaten shit, avoiding any mention of Fan Yuexin to her?

Gu Qingqing felt disgusted at the thought of Gu Mu filming with that kind of person.

If she can't stand it, how could her second brother possibly stand it?

If Fan Yuexin wanted to retaliate against him, the very first scene could make him soak in the water for a whole day, not to mention other dangerous scenes.

She remembered a scene where the second female lead forcibly kissed the male lead. Even if they could use a camera trick to make the kiss appear real, Fan Yuexin was determined to bully him and had plenty of ways to do it.

It's impossible to guard against!

What should we do?

Gu Qingqing was extremely distressed, but couldn't think of an answer for the time being.

She secretly gazed at Gu Mujun's handsome profile, at such a perfect man.
