Wen Ge had previously sought out Wen Yi, asking her to help her return to the "Sword and Qin" production team to deal with Lin Manqing.
Because Wen Yi refused to return, given Lin Manqing's previous style of doing things, Wen Ge would not be able to stay in "Sword and Qin". However, Wen Yi refused without hesitation, which even made Wen Ge feel humiliated.
It was for all these reasons that Wen Ge staged this whole thing at the homecoming banquet, all to evoke Gu Zeyu's protective instincts and make him agree to their marriage in front of everyone.
This way, Wen Ge won't be tormented by Gu Zeyu's inconsistent attitude.
As long as she becomes Gu Zeyu's wife, she can even quit the film crew and leave the entertainment industry to focus on being the young mistress of the Gu family and wielding the power of the mistress of the house.
Anyway, Wen Ge entered the film and television industry because of a joke. She only got to where she is now because of her image and face. If she marries Gu Zeyu and becomes Mrs. Gu, Wen Ge will naturally have better options.
Since Wen Yi wouldn't help, she might as well squeeze every last drop of value out of Wen Yi, using Wen Yi to 'bully' her in order to arouse Gu Zeyu's protective instincts and bring about this marriage.
Everything was going smoothly, and everything was as it should have been.
Then, out of nowhere, the Second Master of Yutingyuan appeared!
Wen Ge felt a deep resentment as she stared at Gu Zeyu with mournful eyes.
She begged Gu Zeyu to stand up and say a word to save the marriage.
Unfortunately, Madam Gu's words represented everything, and Gu Zeyu remained silent at this moment.
Wen Ge felt heartbroken and resentful.
Wen Yi stood to the side, not saying a word, but silently taking in everything that happened. Naturally, she didn't miss Wen Ge's mournful gaze as she looked at Gu Zeyu.
Gu Zeyu had actually received Wen Ge's resentment, but he subconsciously glanced at Madam Gu and then pretended not to see it, just standing there.
Everything was left to Madam Gu's discretion.
Madam Gu said, "Second Master, Second Madam, I am truly sorry for what happened today. I will definitely visit you in person to apologize when I have the opportunity."
"No need for a visit; the Imperial Garden doesn't like receiving guests."
Gu Huaixu said impatiently.
He rubbed his temples and stopped Wen Yi, asking, "Is there anything else that hasn't been dealt with?"
Wen shook his head.
Too lazy to waste words, Gu Huaixu put his arm around Wen Yi and walked out.
The second master left with his second wife, and the bodyguards naturally followed.
As Wen Yi was led out the door, she could still hear her mother shouting Wen Ge's name, indicating that Wen Ge had fainted.
Wen Yi closed his eyes and followed Second Master into the car.
The car started and headed towards Yutingyuan.
Wen Yi remained silent from the moment she got in the car, her head resting against the window as she quietly observed the surrounding scenery. This was the place where she had grown up, and looking at it now made her feel quite uneasy.
"Going back to my parents' home has left me covered in wounds."
Gu Huaixu broke the silence in the car with his words, which were quite sarcastic.
Wen Yi didn't pay much attention to it, her focus remaining on the scenery outside the window.
Gu Huaixu turned his head to look at her without responding. "So, you don't do anything important, you just do stupid things, huh?"
Wen Yi really didn't want to pay attention, but she just didn't like hearing those words.
She turned to look at him. "Second Master thinks it's foolish of me to come back to my parents' home today, but he still made Third Brother come with me. Does that mean Second Master thinks Third Brother is foolish and can only do foolish things with me?"
Gu Huaixu paused for a few seconds after hearing Wen Yi's words, then laughed out loud, "With the third brother's temper, he'd probably explode if he knew you were talking about him like that."
“His outbursts at me are useless; you’re the one saying he’s doing something stupid, aren’t you?” Wen Yi said sharply.
Gu Huaixu looked at Wen Yi with a different kind of gaze.
My older sister wasn't like this before.
The Wen Yi of the past was shy and cute, gentle, and didn't like to talk much. How could she be so sharp now?
Gu Huaixu reached out and pinched Wen Yi's cheek. "When did this mouth of yours become so sharp-tongued?"
"When did Second Master ever understand me?" Wen Yi retorted.
Gu Huaixu chuckled, "You don't know what's good for you."
"If you're not satisfied, Second Master, you can divorce me anytime. I can leave with nothing."
“I am only widowed, not divorced.” Gu Huaixu’s eyes turned cold as he stared at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the two previous wives of the Second Master of Yutingyuan.
She wasn't fearless; she was afraid too.
It's just that it might be a physical instinct, but Wen Yi's heart had already died along with Gu Huaixu's death.
Her heart was like the Dead Sea, so death was a kind of liberation for her.
"How much progress have you made since you joined the 'Sword and Qin' production team?" Gu Huaixu released Wen Yi and got down to business.
"Wen Ge will come begging to me in a couple of days," Wen Yi said.
Gu Huaixu retorted, "You mean, you still want to be Wen Ge's assistant?"
"This is the best way."
"I gave you so many resources to choose from, and you picked the worst one, huh?"
"Otherwise, what does Second Master mean by wanting me to do?"
“You’ll be parachuted in directly. You can choose whatever position you want. For example…” Gu Huaixu curled his lips, “…director.”
Dr. Wen Yi's profession is directing, and he has many works. In the industry, Wen Yi has a pseudonym called "Shi Nan Hua" and is highly respected by people in the industry.
It's just that Wen Yi was too low-key before, and had been hiding his identity.
If the Wen family knew all the abilities behind Wen Yi, they would regret it to death. They rejected the daughter who could have brought them great success, and instead insisted on clinging to a good-for-nothing.
“I don’t want the director position,” Wen Yi said. “You’re standing too high, and sometimes you can’t see the essence of things. If you want to investigate this production team and make money from it, you need to stand at the lowest point and see the production team clearly. Otherwise, your investigation will be in vain.”
Wen Yi analyzed the situation very calmly.
He then told the other party about many details of the production team of "Sword and Qin".
For example, the relationship between the director and producer, and the relationship between them and the film and television companies behind them.
Gu Huaixu leaned back in his seat, listening quietly to Wen Yi's analysis.
In fact, Gu Huaixu was no longer paying much attention to what Wen Yi was saying. He was just quietly watching Wen Yi's calm analysis and felt that Wen Yi was exuding an attractive charm.
At first, he thought Wen Yi was very fun.
Despite having so many aliases, she portrays herself as a useless person, and she's very gentle—a gentleness that's impossible to resist.
But beneath this gentle and weak exterior, there seems to be something unknown hidden, which is very attractive, making people want to tease it, or rather, want to explore it.
Now, Gu Huaixu is inhabiting Wen Yi's body under a different identity, and Wen Yi is a person that Gu Huaixu finds... very changeable and very interesting.
He even felt that Wen Yi's little mouth opening and closing was particularly... alluring.
I wonder if her taste is any different now than before?
Gu Huaixu's eyes deepened, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
As Wen Yi was analyzing the situation, she sensed that the other person wasn't paying attention. Before she could speak, she looked up at the other person, who had already removed their mask. The next second, the other person grabbed the back of Wen Yi's head and kissed her!
