afternoon

Bai Qianmo went straight back to the filming location and finished shooting the scenes that had been delayed. By then, it was almost midnight.

"That's all for today, let's call it a day!" Kong Dao shouted into the walkie-talkie.

Assistant Xiaomeng immediately took Bai Qianmo's down jacket and went over to put it on her.

After Gu Hongxun put on his clothes, he walked over to Bai Qianmo.

"Hey, is everything alright at home?"

Bai Qianmo reached out and took the white thermos cup from Xiaomeng, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip of water.

He replied slowly, "It's nothing!"

"I heard that Uncle Qi mobilized special forces today, and there was a conflict. Many people were arrested and taken back. Who exactly did your Bai family offend?"

This morning, when Bai Qianmo asked Director Kong Shen for leave, he assumed that Han Songyan had encountered a serious illness at the hospital.

Later, I saw in the news that he had been kidnapped by a group of unidentified people.

The news also said that Bai Qianmo had been kidnapped, and the story was quite detailed. Later, the Gu family said that Uncle Qi had mobilized a group of special forces soldiers.

Uncle Qi, being the kind of person who doesn't like to show off, would rarely touch the people under Great-Grandfather's control unless absolutely necessary.

"Who knows? It seems like they're after money."

Gu Hongxun frowned, puzzled.

Are they here to make money?

There are plenty of people in the capital who are richer than the Bai family, so why were they specifically chosen to target the Bai family?

If they were just ordinary kidnappers, why would Uncle Seven have gone to such lengths?

Clearly, Bai Qianmo hadn't told him the truth, and Gu Hongxun was somewhat displeased, but he couldn't show it directly.

After all, the two weren't even friends, but he couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks, as he's always been quite sharp-tongued.

“My seventh uncle hasn’t even married you yet, and you’ve already caused him so much trouble. If he does marry you, won’t there be chaos every other day?”

Bai Qianmo gave Gu Hongxun a cold glance.

Is this guy here to cause trouble?

"Even if things get chaotic, your seventh uncle will handle it. But you, the famous spoiled brat of the Gu family, are easily fooled by this innocent girl. You should really work on your brain first."

"Bai Qianmo, you really don't know what's good for you!" He was furious. No wonder he couldn't get along with this girl. Her mouth was really venomous, bringing up the scars he least wanted to mention.

Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow innocently and chuckled lightly: "From now on, please keep your kindness to yourself."

Gu Hongxun snorted: "I originally had something to say to you, but since you're so ungrateful, then let my seventh uncle find a better girlfriend and break up with you as soon as possible."

Bai Qianmo suddenly became interested in matters concerning Gu Jueye.

She wasn't one to beg for favors; her calm eyes glanced at Gu Hongxun.

"You mean that matter? I've known about it for a long time. It's just a woman. There could be women who like him all over the capital. I'm really not around, but your Seventh Uncle only has me in his heart and eyes."

Seeing Bai Qianmo's smug expression, Gu Hongxun was so angry he felt like his teeth were about to ache.

I originally wanted to use this to negotiate with this girl, but I didn't expect that she already knew about it.

This is so boring!

He had gone to great lengths to overhear this news.

"You actually found out? I have to say, you're incredibly oblivious."

“It’s not that I’m careless, it’s that I trust Mr. Gu’s character,” Bai Qianmo continued, following Gu Hongxun’s lead.

“I’m afraid even Uncle Qi can’t make the decision on this matter. They’ve already brought the marriage certificate to our door. That’s the Huo family, a well-known and powerful family in Y country and even O state.”

Bai Qianmo's expression changed slightly.

How did the Huo family get involved?

She didn't actually know what Gu Hongxun was talking about; she was just trying to get the truth out of him by going along with his words.

"Is the marriage certificate you're referring to between Gu Jueye and the Huo family?"

Gu Hongxun stared at Bai Qianmo for a few seconds and immediately realized he had been deceived.

She scoffed softly, "Liar, you have no idea, do you?"

Bai Qianmo glanced around. The crew members were packing up their filming work, and some were cleaning up the set. No one was paying attention to this side.

She said expressionlessly, "Do you want the two of us to be trending on social media tomorrow?"

Judging from Gu Hongxun's angry expression just now, anyone who didn't know better would think that she had deceived the innocent young man, and that the boy had come to her demanding that she take responsibility after being tricked.

Gu Hongxun realized that he had spoken a bit too loudly and lowered his voice accordingly.

"Bai Qianmo, how could my seventh uncle have taken a liking to such a cunning, treacherous, and treacherous woman like you?"

"That means your seventh uncle has sharper eyes than you and can see through appearances to the essence of things!"

Gu Hongxun: "..."

This is another sarcastic remark about his blindness, how he was completely fooled by Bai Xiruo...

"What exactly happened with the marriage certificate?"

Gu Hongxun originally wanted to keep Bai Qianmo in suspense, but seeing her serious expression, he knew that this matter was not something to be joked about.

“I went home yesterday and overheard my parents talking about this. They said that someone from the Huo family came to my great-grandfather's place with a marriage contract yesterday, and the person is still living at the Gu family's house.”

"By the way, my great-grandfather informed Uncle Qi at noon today, so he should already know."

Bai Qianmo thought back for a moment.

After rescuing Han Songyan from the villa today, Gu Jueye did answer a phone call, and he looked unwell.

Normally, he would personally see her off when they returned to the capital, but this time he left in a hurry.

It must be because of this matter.

Do you know the specifics of this marriage certificate?
