Succession

Wen Chu had been Qi Yuan's stunt double for 8 years. From a lowly stand-in to mirroring Qi Yuan's every glance and smile, she had enough.

She finally had her own work, attributed to h...

Chapter 52 I want to stay with her for two more days

In the dim light, Wen Chu looked at his face, a handsome, good-looking face. He seemed to have changed a bit these days, since when they first met.

He was nonchalant, with the composure of a young master from a wealthy family. He would curse while laughing, and sometimes would tease others in a nonchalant manner.

Now, he rarely does this.

Was it guilt? Or was it a wavering feeling? Wen Chu didn't know. She only knew that when she learned the truth, she doubted herself, and also doubted his feelings during their four years together. Everything she believed in, believed in, and trusted was shattered...

So even though he said so much at this moment, and she still missed his warmth, she still couldn't forgive him immediately. She thought she needed time.

It takes time to get yourself out of this vortex, jump out of this situation, and see your heart and yourself clearly.

He wiped the tears from the corners of Wen Chu's eyes with his fingertips: "Don't cry, I really know I was wrong."

Wen Chu pushed his hand away: "It's good that you know."

"I know I won't forgive you."

"I wait for your forgiveness and beg for your forgiveness."

Wen Chu pursed his lips.

Gu Cheng stepped forward and kissed her between the eyebrows. Her phone alarm rang, reminding her to go to bed. Wen Chu rubbed her eyes and said, "I want to sleep. You go back first."

"I'll stay with you tonight? I'll leave at dawn." He said softly.

Wen Chu looked at him for a few seconds, then ignored him and lay down. He didn't have much time left here and would leave sooner or later. Either Old Man Gu forced him to go back, or Gu's stock price hit rock bottom. He was a member of the Gu family, so he couldn't just ignore it. Gu Cheng watched her lie down, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, lay down too, and put his arm around her waist.

Wen Chu rested his face on the pillow and closed his eyes.

She knew there was a thorn in her heart that she could never remove.

In the past, she loved nestling in his arms the most.

The room became quiet.

Wen Chu was drowsy and should have fallen asleep, but her stomach felt a slight pain. She touched her stomach, and her fingertips touched Gu Cheng's arm, so she subconsciously withdrew her fingers.

Gu Cheng was very perceptive. He propped himself up and glanced at the clock on the bedside table: "The 21st, the day of your period."

He touched her hair, which was a little sweaty: "It hurts, right?"

Wen Chu couldn't hide it anymore, so she nodded.

Gu Cheng threw back the quilt and got out of bed. "I'll carry you to change, and then get you a drink."

Wen Chu sat up, her face pale and her hair hanging down. She said, "I'll go by myself."

"The floor is cold, and your slippers are not here." Gu Cheng glanced at the floor. She had put her slippers at the door. Wen Chu pushed him: "Go get them for me."

"Okay." He responded and went out to get her slippers.

Wen Chu put on his slippers and walked towards the bathroom.

Gu Cheng opened the medicine box, took out the painkillers, and called the catering department. Then he went in to accompany Wen Chu. Wen Chu changed her sanitary napkin and sat down by the bed.

Gu Cheng brought her a cup of hot water.

Wen Chu took a sip of the drink, and Gu Cheng brushed aside her hair and asked, "Do you need some painkillers?"

Wen Chu shook his head: "It doesn't hurt that much."

"Then take a break first."

Wen Chu looked at him in the dim light and nodded.

After drinking the hot water, Wen Chu's back began to sweat and he felt better. The doorbell rang, and Gu Cheng stood up to open the door. A minute later, he came in with a stew pot. He was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, with his sleeves rolled up. He sat down on the edge of the bed and opened the lid. Inside was pork rib and morel mushroom soup.

This is also Wen Chu’s favorite soup, and it is very suitable for drinking during menstruation.

Wen Chu smelled a familiar scent.

Gu Cheng sat down beside the bed, picked up the spoon, took a sip, and lowered his head to blow it cool.

Wen Chu looked at the soup and said, "Does the hotel have this?"

Gu Cheng blew it, handed it to her lips, and said with a smile: "Guess."

Wen Chu opened her lips, took a sip, and it slid down her throat, warming her whole body. She said, "The hotel definitely doesn't have this... Those chefs only like to make cream soup..."

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled, then fed her a few more bites.

Wen Chu reached out to take it himself, and he said, "It's hot, I'll feed you."

Wen Chu put down his hand and could only let him feed him.

Gu Cheng whispered, "If I return to China, you will go to the restaurant on time for dinner. If you want to eat something, just give us a call and the kitchen will arrange it."

Wen Chu stared at him and asked the doubt in his heart; "So Auntie is here, right?"

Gu Cheng fed her another spoonful and said, "It's coming."

Wen Chu pursed his lips.

"When did Auntie come?"

"The day after I arrived."

Wen Chu: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"She's worried that you don't want to see her," Gu Cheng said. "She's also worried about you, afraid that you won't eat well..."

Wen Chu didn't say anything.

She had always had a good relationship with her aunt, but when they broke up, she put her aunt in Gu Cheng's camp, and she also became hostile towards her aunt.

She asked, "Where does Auntie live?"

"On the eighth floor."

Wen Chu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After drinking the soup, her body warmed up and she felt a little sleepy. Gu Cheng took the stew pot out and asked someone to take it away.

Wen Chu got out of bed, washed up, and went back to bed to sleep.

Gu Cheng came in and wiped the sweat off her neck with a hot towel. Wen Chu felt comfortable and not so sticky anymore. She was drowsy and felt that the lights were completely dimmed.

Gu Cheng got on the bed and put his arms around her waist.

It was quiet.

Just before falling asleep in a daze.

Gu Cheng asked her in a low voice, "Is it true that you don't want to marry me?"

He asked in a whisper.

Seems far and near.

Wen Chu didn't respond.

-

The next day, Wen Chu saw her aunt in the restaurant. She had a kind look in her eyes and brought her some milk. Wen Chu held her hand and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?"

Auntie smiled and said, "Okay, I'm happy to see you."

Wen Chu smiled gently.

Auntie looked at Master Gu and her. She hoped they could get back together. In fact, she hadn't been back to Jinyu for a long time. Ever since Wen Chu left, Master Gu no longer needed her.

She returned to her family, but Mr. Gu had come back and had a lot of things to do. Most importantly, he still had some grievances against Wen Chu, so she spoke a few words on Wen Chu's behalf.

Old Man Gu flicked his beard and said that she had been bribed. He asked her to stay in the old house, clean the house, and take care of the flowers and plants.

She thought that this was how her life would be.

Gu Cheng contacted her before going abroad and said that Wen Chu might have to stay abroad for a while and would not be used to the food, as her appetite was sometimes quite picky.

I was worried that she would miss the delicious food from China while in France, so I asked her if she would like to follow suit.

She had nothing to do in the old house and was looked down upon by Old Man Gu. It would be better for her to leave with Young Master Gu and go abroad to accompany Wen Chu.

She actually wanted to...

She could do something to make Wen Chu happy and give Gu Shao some hope, but she was also afraid that Wen Chu didn't want to see her, so she didn't dare show up for these few days.

Now it seems they are making some progress.

She was happy from the bottom of her heart. Wen Chu was really a kind girl and she deserved it.

"Tell your aunt what you want to eat in the future." Gu Cheng handed a fork to Wen Chu. Wen Chu pulled her aunt to sit down and chat with her.

Auntie looked at her and smiled: "You've lost weight."

Wen Chu ate fried noodles and said, "I lost fat and gained muscle, so I look thinner, but my weight hasn't changed."

Auntie smiled and said, "Indeed, the lines are smoother."

Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi winked at each other, then looked at each other while biting their forks.

have to.

Even the nanny brought it with her, no wonder the food is so delicious. I will have a treat in the future.

After breakfast, I rushed to the crew.

Continue filming.

For the next few days, Gu Cheng accompanied Wen Chu on the set. Everyone on the crew got used to his presence. Whenever Director Lin and the producer had a break, they would chat with Gu Cheng, offer him cigarettes, and even treat him to a meal. This inadvertently secured a 15 million yuan investment, which covered the film's later publicity costs.

The producer was so excited that he almost said, "There is no romance between the hero and heroine in the movie, Mr. Gu, don't worry..."

Just as he started to speak, Director Lin stopped him. The producer realized with a chuckle that he had almost gotten into trouble.

Gu Cheng put down his glass. He knew what the producer was going to say. He said, "It doesn't matter if there are romance scenes or not... as long as there are fewer intimate scenes, that's fine."

The producer straightened up and raised his hand to nod.

Director Lin quickly pressed the button and said with a smile, "There are indeed no intimate scenes. You don't need to promise Mr. Gu, but there must be emotions. Although the scenes are small, they need to be in place."

Gu Cheng glanced at Director Lin and said, "Okay."

After drinking, we returned to the hotel.

He went to find Wen Chu, who was reciting her lines. When she opened the door and saw him, Gu Cheng lowered his eyes to look at her. Wen Chu smelled a faint scent of alcohol on him.

He raised his hand and pinched her nose, then said, "Promise me you'll do less emotional scenes."

Wen Chu raised her eyes and stared into his eyes: "I can't do that. As an actor, I can't avoid it."

Gu Cheng pursed his thin lips.

Wen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Unhappy?"

Gu Cheng was quiet for a few seconds and shook his head: "I'm just jealous."

Wen Chu looked at him for a few seconds, then turned and went in.

Gu Cheng followed her in, put his arms around her waist, and buried his head in her neck: "Give me a hug."

Wen Chu muttered, "You smell like alcohol."

"I'll take a shower later."

Wen Chu didn't respond.

A few minutes later, Gu Cheng went upstairs to take a shower, and Wen Chu returned to the master bedroom to continue memorizing her lines. An hour later, Gu Cheng came back after taking a shower to accompany her.

-

It's three o'clock in the morning in France.

It's nine o'clock in the morning in China.

When the stock market opened, Gu's stock continued to fall. It did not fall suddenly, but slowly, like a knife cutting human flesh.

But if it falls to a certain level, it will look very bad.

Wen Chu was still sleeping.

Gu Cheng's cell phone rang. He got up and looked at the phone. Afraid of waking up Wen Chu, he got up with the phone and left the room.

On the other end of the phone.

Secretary Li asked, "Mr. Gu, when will you be back?"

Gu Cheng sat down on the sofa: "What's wrong?"

Secretary Li opened his mouth to speak, but the next second his phone was snatched away. Old Master Gu's powerful voice rang out, "Why don't you just get back here?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Good morning, Grandpa."

"What's the matter with that? You really don't want the Gu Group anymore."

"How do you feel after falling like this?"

After hearing this, Gu Cheng opened his laptop and took a look: "Not bad, I'm in a good mood."

Old Master Gu gnashed his teeth in anger: "Get back here and save the Gu family. I know you have a way."

Gu Cheng's expression was indifferent: "Grandpa has so many capable people around him, he doesn't need me, right?"

"I said, get back here!" Old Master Gu ignored his other words and said through gritted teeth, "Don't forget, no matter what, your last name is Gu."

Gu Cheng: "I don't need a surname."

Mr. Gu: “….”

Secretary Li asked anxiously, "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Cheng paused slightly.

He asked: "Li Qian, old man..."

Li Qian was pushed away by Mr. Gu. Li Qian saw Mr. Gu's expression and was stunned for a few seconds. He picked up the phone, covered the microphone and said, "The old man seems to be crying."

"What?"

Gu Cheng was stunned.

He raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

"Let me take another look."

Li Qian, holding the phone, followed the old man. Old Man Gu opened the door and slammed it shut. Li Qian saw nothing. He said, "No, I'm not sure."

Gu Cheng thought that it was impossible given the old man's personality.

He withdrew his thoughts and said, "In two days...I will go back."

Li Qian checked the time and asked, "Didn't you say today?"

Gu Cheng glanced at the door of the master bedroom, his heart aching: "Wait a little longer, I want to stay with her for two more days."

Li Qian: "...Okay."

Gu Cheng put down his phone and put his arms on his legs.

For a period of one year.

Would she really forgive him? Because he was unsure, he kept dragging it out day by day, unwilling to leave.

-

Old Master Gu came downstairs in a huff, his face dignified, not a single tear on his face, just furious.

The nanny welcomed Qi Yuan in.

Qi Yuan and Old Man Qi came in a hurry. When Qi Yuan saw Old Man Gu, she wiped her tears and stamped her feet as she did in the past: "Grandpa Gu!"

Mr. Qi sighed and said, "She has no choice but to come to you."

Mr. Gu had a headache at this time. He sat down on the mahogany chair. Mr. Qi brought Qi Yuan forward. Mr. Gu was upset and had a headache again. He waved his hand: "Ayuan, Grandpa Gu can't take care of you today."

Qi Yuan stopped in her tracks, she couldn't believe it.

Mr. Qi stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Old Master Gu rubbed his brows and said, "Gu's situation is not good. They are hiding it. I can't pry open the shareholders. The old guys on the board of directors are useless. Gu Cheng refuses to return to China."

Mr. Qi was surprised: "Is it so serious?"

Old Master Gu continued to rub his brows and said, "It seems that Gu Cheng really fell in love with the girl named Wen Chu."

Qi Yuan gritted her teeth, narrowed her eyes and said, "That woman is just good at playing tricks."

Old Master Gu looked up at Qi Yuan and said, "Ayuan, she's playing tricks on me. Gu Cheng isn't stupid. Why did he accept it? Because he likes it and he's happy with it."

Old Master Qi frowned: "But Ah Cheng was very nice to Qi Yuan in the past. Shouldn't he like Ah Yuan?"

Old Master Gu took the cold tea handed to him by the nanny and took a sip. It was so bitter that it made his tongue astringent. He couldn't even drink the cold tea now. He said, "Old Qi, can't you see the situation clearly? I didn't want to say it before."

"Now I understand. Ayuan has been with that guy surnamed Fang for so many years. If Gu Cheng really liked her so much, would he let them develop a relationship? They broke up before, even after being together for three months. Acheng had countless opportunities back then, but did he try? If he didn't try, there's no question of love."

Mr. Qi was stunned.

Qi Yuan's face turned pale.

Mr. Gu: "I'm really tired today, you guys should go back first."

Qi Yuan looked unwilling: "Will Grandpa Gu agree to let her enter the Gu family?"

Mr. Gu waved his hand: "That won't happen."
