This includes a very popular TV series from a few years ago, in which newcomer actress He Jia was nominated for Best Actress, and the up-and-coming director also won numerous awards. The two even fell in love on set and secretly married.
The two regarded President Su as a benefactor and would arrange a time each year to personally visit him with gifts.
A year ago, He Jia terminated her contract with her original agency and established her own personal studio. She also co-founded a rapidly growing entertainment company with a director.
This is the company that Tu Hengchuan is currently signed with. The other artists in the company are all aware of the methods his agent uses to suppress Tu Hengchuan, but no one is willing to speak out for him.
After watching the surveillance video on her phone, Su Ping was dumbfounded, never imagining that the entertainment industry was so murky.
Besides these surveillance videos, she also needs some evidence to completely bring down the agent.
So she called her adoptive father, Su Zhinan, who was living abroad.
"Hello?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, sounding impatient, as if he had just woken up.
Su Ping was a little nervous; she didn't know how the original owner had interacted with him before.
She opened her mouth and tentatively called out "Dad".
The phone suddenly went silent, and Su Ping's heart began to pound. Then she heard Su Zhinan crying with joy.
"Waaaaah, my daughter, fifteen years have passed, and you've finally called me Dad again!"
[Huluwa, what's going on?]
[Host, when the original owner was young, her mother passed away. Su Zhinan was away on a business trip abroad and couldn't make it back to see his wife one last time. This planted a seed of hatred in the original owner's heart, and she never called Su Zhinan "father" again.]
I see.
Su Zhinan cried bitterly, saying that once he finished this busy period, he would shift his focus to work in China and make up for the fatherly love she had missed for more than ten years.
"Dad, don't cry." Su Ping, who had been raised by her mother since childhood and had never experienced fatherly love, was a little unfamiliar with this word. At this moment, she only felt a warmth in her heart. Even though this was just a fictional character in a novel, she truly felt cared for.
Su Zhinan obediently stopped crying, only choking back sobs, which was inexplicably comical.
"Dad, there's something I'd like you to help me with."
Su Ping briefly explained Tu Hengchuan's situation over the phone, but unexpectedly, it caused Su Zhinan to misunderstand.
Hearing that the man his daughter had her eye on was being bullied like this, he wanted to go back to China right now and avenge his daughter.
"Okay, don't worry, honey, I'll have someone send the stuff to your phone tomorrow morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Zhinan belatedly realized that his sweetheart seemed to have a boy she liked, and he had just promised to help that guy!
He couldn't stay abroad for even a day longer. He felt he had to go back to China as soon as possible, otherwise he would regret it when his daughter was kidnapped!
When Su Ping finished showering, she was hungry.
With Aunt Mei not around, she could only look at Tu Hengchuan, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone.
Some people are born to be stars; they just sit there casually and they look good.
"what?"
[Huluwa, does this guy have a third eye? He's clearly staring at his phone screen with both eyes, how does he know I'm looking at him?]
[...]
"I'm hungry." It's almost noon, and she hasn't eaten anything all day.
Just when Su Ping thought Tu Hengchuan wouldn't pay any attention to her, she saw him stand up in a good mood: "We're out of vegetables at home, let's go out and buy some."
Why is the Calabash Brother so happy?
[Because he had just finished chatting with Song Yifei, who encouraged him on Weibo not to give up and said she would always believe in him.]
? ? ?
Is this the female lead's halo? Su Ping suddenly felt a little envious.
but--
"Big brother, are you planning to leave like this?"
Su Ping stared dumbfounded as she watched Tu Hengchuan walk toward the door.
Does he even realize that after trending on Weibo for a whole day and night, his face has become so famous that everyone is going to make fun of him?
Tu Hengchuan belatedly realized that he was now a celebrity embroiled in scandals. He used to not need to wear a mask when he went out, but now he obviously couldn't.
Just then, Su Ping pulled a black face mask out of the room and held a black fisherman's hat in her hand.
"Lower your head slightly."
Tu Hengchuan nodded slightly and saw the girl in front of him stand on tiptoe and put the fisherman's hat on his head, the strands of hair that had been brushing against his face instantly leaving.
It was that faint scent of gardenias again.
Tu Hengchuan put on his mask and, while waiting for Su Ping to go to the garage to get the car, replied to a few WeChat messages from friends.
He's been getting so much hate on Weibo these past two days, it's unbearable to watch, and that's exactly the effect he wanted.
"Achoo! Who's cursing me?"
"In the car, Su Ping couldn't help but sneeze several times, and felt a chill down her spine."
Tu Hengchuan saw Su Ping park the car in front of him, walked over and tried to open the car door, but couldn't.
"I hurt my neck, you drive."
Tu Hengchuan then turned his gaze to her neck, which was wrapped in gauze, making her look like a broken doll.
It reminded him of his favorite golden retriever when he was a child. He really loved it and would hug it to sleep every night. One day, the dog went missing. He searched for two days and found its body, which had been decapitated, in a flower bed.
Its head was cruelly chopped off with an axe, its hair was covered in blood, and it no longer had the lively and cute appearance it once had.
He didn't cry. He stitched his head and body back together, one stitch at a time. His illegitimate brother looked like he'd seen a ghost.
Oh, he must have been terrified, considering he had golden hair stuck to his head.
[The Calabash Brothers' laugh is terrifying!]
Su Ping put the keys in his hand, quickly opened the passenger door, and got in.
Tu Hengchuan came to his senses, as if what he had just witnessed was merely Su Ping's illusion.
After starting the car, Tu Hengchuan suddenly leaned over.
"W-what's wrong?"
The moment his hand brushed against her neck, Su Ping felt that he was doing it on purpose.
[Huluwa, has Tu Hengchuan's corruption level remained unchanged?]
【No. 】
After receiving an affirmative answer, Su Ping relaxed and then saw Tu Hengchuan's hand reach over her neck and fasten the seat belt next to her.
"Thank you." Watching him restart the car, Su Ping felt she had been a little too sensitive.
...
Registration for the summer sports meet had already begun. As soon as Song Qi entered the classroom, he saw his roommate Wang Youli waving at him.
"Brother Qi, I really didn't mean to tell Senior Su Ping about what happened in the cafeteria last time. She tricked me into telling her!"
Song Qi tidied up the English group workbooks he had collected, gave a soft "hmm," and planned to go to the office to give them to the teacher.
"Youli, hurry up! Class 3 invited us to play ball, we have to get our revenge this time!"
The class monitor's voice rang out from outside the window, urging Wang Youli on while holding a basketball.
