Chapter 627: Foster Brother (29)

She bought a bunch of snacks and then her manager blocked her at the company entrance. Wen Wan quickly explained, "I bought these for other people, definitely not for myself. You have to believe me."

Chen Jie sneered.

"I believe you. Why don't you check the trending topics on your phone first?"

Wen Wan opened her phone in confusion and found herself trending on social media. The video was taken during lunch earlier, and she wondered which employee had been so bold as to secretly film it. She clicked on the comments.

Is this the amount of food a celebrity should eat?

—It's not just celebrities, is this the amount of food a normal girl should eat? I'm a grown man and I can't even eat this much.

—Who's that guy next to me? I need all the information about that handsome guy in three minutes.

—Replying to the comment above, that handsome guy is my future husband, Gu Liu, the acting chairman of the Liu Group. He's good-looking and has a great physique, easily surpassing all the celebrities in the industry.

—Didn't I hear that Gu Liu and Liu Qianqian have a bad relationship? This doesn't seem like it. It seems like President Gu dotes on her quite a bit. I heard they're not even siblings. And Liu Qianqian's husband hasn't been revealed yet, has he? Could it be that the most unlikely person, Gu Liu, is right under our noses?

The comments section under this post exploded.

How is that possible?

—An utterly outrageous guess!

—Pseudo-orthopedics is so exciting, and if it's President Gu, it's perfectly normal that he doesn't like Qi Mingsen.

Wen Wan felt increasingly devastated as she looked at the photos; how had she inadvertently revealed the truth?

There was even a claim that someone said they were a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau and personally processed the marriage certificate for the two.

But nobody believed it.

But Wen Wan knew it was true.

It's really strange that this message was even released without being dealt with by the Liu Group's public relations department.

"You've finished reading? I thought you were practicing your acting at home. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise out of the blue. Are you planning to go public? I need to write a statement so I can deal with this bombshell. Otherwise, if you suddenly drop a bombshell on me, I won't have time to do any PR."

Wen Wan: "I was wrong."

"And didn't you say you weren't going to eat? Who ate all this stuff? I need to find you a personal trainer and nutritionist right away to control your diet and weight, otherwise if you get fat, will you still be able to work in the entertainment industry?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"I don't gain weight."

"Just because you can eat whatever you want now doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want. What if you get acne or inflammation? Those will affect your appearance on camera."

Wen Wan: "I have great skin, it's natural."

She even leaned closer to her agent and said, "I never get pimples, so you shouldn't be too envious."

broker:"……"

Finally, they forcibly confiscated Wen Wan's snacks and then told her about some work arrangements: a magazine shoot and a guest appearance on a variety show. Wen Wan originally wanted to refuse the variety show, but when she found out it was a food variety show, she readily agreed.

Back in the office, Wen Wan was in a great mood, and then she took out some potato chips from the corner of the sofa and started eating.

Luckily she hid it, otherwise it would have been really bad.

The crackling sound made Gu Liu sigh. He couldn't understand what this young lady was up to. Why did she suddenly insist on coming to the company with him?

"Brother, haven't you finished your work yet?"

"what are you up to?"

Wen Wan: "I want my brother to help me with my lines."

Gu Liu: "???"

"Rehearse? I'm not a professional actor, how can I help you rehearse? I can't act."

Wen Wan: "So many professional actors couldn't help me find the right feeling, so I might as well give it a try with you, brother. At least you're more handsome than them, so maybe I can pull it off?"

Gu Liu: "..."

Looking at Wen Wan with a complicated expression, he said, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Wen Wan: "I know! Anyway, we're still husband and wife. What's wrong with husband and wife helping each other? Is that not allowed?"

Gu Liu remained silent.

In the end, Gu Liu agreed.

So Wen Wan said, "Let's begin. You don't need to do anything, just watch me."

Gu Liu had Gu Liu stand in front of him, and then they began rehearsing their lines.

In the first scene, Wen Wan blushed as soon as she saw Gu Liu's eyes and couldn't continue the scene at all.

The second round won't work.

The third one, a breakdown.

In the fourth scene, there were so many lines that they couldn't even finish speaking.

"Forget it, I'll think of another way. I get nervous whenever I see you, just like a parent, it's terrifying."

Gu Liu grabbed Wen Wan's wrist. "Parents???"

Wen Wan suddenly felt guilty, and the distance between the two of them closed in an instant. Wen Wan could even see her own reflection clearly in Gu Liu's eyes.

"That's not what I meant. You're not like a parent; you're my brother, okay?"

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

Seeing this shocking scene, Chen Bing couldn't help but speak up, "I'm sorry, it seems I've come at an inopportune time. Please continue."

Good heavens, what did he see?

This cold, emotionless CEO Gu is actually forcing love? That's outrageous!

Wen Wan and Gu Liu quickly separated. Wen Wan's face turned completely red, and you could even feel the heat emanating from it. "I just remembered something, so I'll be going now."

Then they just ran away.

"What do you want?" Gu Liu asked Chen Bing, his cold demeanor returning. Chen Bing smiled and said, "President Gu, you really have double standards. You're so kind to Miss Gu, but why are you so cold to me?"

"Get to the point."

Chen Bing: "It's nothing much, just a few people on the board of directors who are a bit restless."

Then Chen Bing got down to business, and after finishing, she continued the previous topic, "President Gu, you and Miss Gu aren't really going to play hard to get, are you? Don't you hate her the most?"

Gu Liu: "It's none of your business."

“I don’t want to get involved either, but you’re my boss now. If something happens to you, I’ll lose my job. I still have to remind you, you know what kind of person the young lady used to be, so she might be putting on an act. You have to be careful.”

Gu Liu: "I know."

"Good to know. The information on Qi Mingsen that you asked me to investigate has been compiled. I will handle it according to your plan. I've disliked him for a long time too."

"Um."

Before leaving, Chen Bing earnestly warned, "Don't be fooled!"

Gu Liu gave him a cold look.

Finally, leave as quickly as possible.

Chen Bing even began investigating Liu Qianqian in private. After all, President Gu seemed to be a bit love-struck these days. When you're caught up in something, you usually can't see things clearly. As a friend, he couldn't let Gu Liu end up like he was when he was kicked out of the country.

He was also extremely curious: had this young lady truly changed, or was it all a lie? If it was a lie, how could she have fooled the extremely intelligent Gu Liu and even made him lower his guard? This young lady was no simpleton; he had never realized she had such skill before! Could it be that she had been acting all along?
