Chapter 73 Chapter 73
As Gu Xingshi finished speaking, everyone's eyes on Ruan Wenrou changed instantly.
Even the fake best friend standing next to Ruan Wenrou subconsciously stepped back two steps, covering her mouth and looking at her in doubt. For
the first time, Ruan Wenrou experienced the embarrassment of being judged by countless eyes in public.
Tears rolled out of her eyes instantly, and her body was about to fall.
Xiang Li saw her beloved daughter being humiliated like this, and she could no longer bear it. She rushed out of the crowd, protected Ruan Wenrou behind her, and said in a sharp voice: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Mom..." Ruan Wenrou hid in her arms, crying.
Xiang Li felt more and more distressed, hugged her tightly, and kept comforting her.
Seeing the deep affection between the two, everyone was stunned.
Could it be that what Gu said was wrong?
Ruan Wenrou was actually her biological daughter.
After all, who would protect an adopted daughter like this without caring about their biological daughter?
Gu Xingshi looked at Ruan Xinyin standing beside him.
The smile she had shown when she was praised had disappeared, and she just looked at the ground indifferently, as if she had long been accustomed to such treatment.
Gu Xingshi felt a slight pain in his heart, and then he became angry.
He looked at Xiang Li, and for the first time his face did not smile. He clapped slowly, his voice cold: "Wow, that's really touching!"
"I don't know if you've heard that azaleas lay their eggs in other birds' nests, and when the baby azaleas are born, they will push the eggs laid by other birds out of the nest and kill them. The birds that don't know will raise the baby azaleas as their own children, completely unaware that the one they raised is the murderer of their own children..."
"It's just that I used to think that this kind of thing only happened to birds, This is the first time I see someone do this, it is really novel. "
Xiang Li felt cold in her heart because of his words: "No... Impossible..."
But Gu Xingshi interrupted her: "When Ruan Wenrou took the lead in isolating and bullying Ruan Xinyin in school, you turned a blind eye. When Ruan Wenrou secretly put her jewelry into Ruan Xinyin's room and slandered her for stealing, you did not listen to her explanation and directly convicted her. Now, I just told the truth. Ruan Wenrou suffered less than one percent of what Ruan Xinyin suffered, and you can't stand it?"
Xiang Li was stunned.
Subconsciously, she looked at Ruan Wenrou.
Wenrou was a child she raised with her own hands, and she had always been well-behaved and sensible.
She didn't believe that she would do such a thing.
However, Gu Xingshi said it so firmly that she couldn't help but believe it.
Ruan Wenrou didn't expect that Gu Xingshi knew all these things. It must be Ruan Xinyin who told him.
She didn't expect that Ruan Xinyin looked honest, but was so scheming in private.
She hated it in her heart.
But she pretended to be wronged: "Mom, I didn't..."
But the discussion at the scene became louder.
Everyone looked at Xiang Li and Ruan Wenrou in disbelief.
"A little girl is so vicious. You can't judge a person
by his appearance!" "There are really such mothers? It's eye-opening!"
"I've only heard of people who protect their biological daughters and abuse their adopted daughters. This is the first time I've encountered someone who abuses his biological daughter and protects his adopted daughter. It's amazing!"
"She's confused. Ruan Xinyin is really pitiful. She has such a family..."
Although Xiang Li still loves Ruan Wenrou, her heart is inevitably shaken by these words.
Especially when she looked at Ruan Xinyin, she saw her standing aside with an expressionless face, without any admiration and longing for her when she just returned home.
Her heart ached, and she wanted to walk towards Ruan Xinyin.
Seeing this, Ruan Wenrou in her arms flashed a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, and then her eyes rolled over and she fell straight down.
Seeing her faint, Xiang Li immediately forgot everything else and anxiously carried her to find a doctor.
Ruan Yi's face was ugly, but he finally ran out with Xiang Li.
Watching them run away, Gu Xingshi felt very regretful.
He still had more explosive information that he hadn't revealed yet!
Only Ruan Xinyin was left at the scene.
Gu Xingshi sighed, said something to Lan Yuyu, and walked to Ruan Xinyin: "I'll take you home."
Ruan Xinyin looked at him blankly.
It was the first time she felt such kindness, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Gu Xingshi led her into the car and sent her back to Ruan's home according to the navigation.
Ruan Xinyin pursed her lips and whispered, "Thank you."
However, just as she was about to get off the car, Gu Xingshi suddenly called her.
Ruan Xinyin turned around in surprise.
Gu Xingshi hesitated for a moment before handing her a business card.
"I'm an agent."
Gu Xingshi said carefully, "You have a good voice. Our company is short of such talents. If you want to become a professional singer, you can sign a contract with me..."
Then he heard Ruan Xinyin asked cautiously: "As a singer... will many people like me?"
Gu Xingshi was startled, and his heart felt a little sour for some reason. He nodded vigorously: "Yes, believe me, you sing really well, and many people will like you."
Ruan Xinyin pursed her lips and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
But she hesitated for a moment, and still said bravely: "Thank you, but... can you let me think about it again?" After
she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she was a little ignorant of what she was doing, and tightened her shoulders, "I just..."
Gu Xingshi could understand her very well.
He had heard from the system that Ruan Xinyin grew up in an orphanage and went to college by working part-time.
She was actually a very independent and capable girl.
If she had not returned to the Ruan family and been tortured and suppressed by them, destroying her self-confidence, she would have been such a dazzling girl.
Gu Xingshi nodded sympathetically: "It's okay." He paused, "It doesn't matter even if we don't sign the contract, you can still ask me for help if you have any problems."
Ruan Xinyin was stunned.
She thought Gu Xingshi would be angry.
But not only was he not angry, he even comforted her.
Ruan Xinyin felt that her heart, which had been wounded by her loved ones, seemed to be caressed by a warm current, and her flesh and blood began to heal gradually.
She put away the business card and returned home with some joy.
However, just as she went upstairs, she happened to meet Xiang Li coming out of Ruan Wenrou's room.
There was still a gentle smile on her face.
It was like a basin of cold water splashed on Ruan Xinyin's heart.
Xiang Li was also a little embarrassed.
At that time, Ruan Wenrou fainted, and they only cared for her and completely forgot that they had another daughter.
Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. She cared about Ruan Xinyin softly and went to make her a midnight snack.
Although the midnight snack she made was just the wontons made by the servant thrown into the water and cooked, it was the first time that Ruan Xinyin enjoyed such treatment. She was a little spoiled.
The mother and daughter sat at the dining table, enjoying the rare silence.
Although there was no salt in the wonton soup, Ruan Xinyin still ate it very happily. Her originally hard heart seemed to soften. She opened her mouth and wanted to share with her mother what Gu Xingshi had signed for her.
But she heard Xiang Li say softly: "Xiyin, your sister is young and in poor health. She just felt insecure after knowing her identity, so she did some wrong things. For her poor sake, please don't bother with her, okay?"
The smile on Ruan Xiyin's face froze.
The wontons that fell into her stomach seemed to turn into poison, stirring her internal organs and causing pain.
She suddenly felt ridiculous.
Ruan Wenrou is pitiful?
Isn't she the most pitiful?
She grew up in an orphanage.
When Ruan Wenrou enjoyed gorgeous clothes and delicious food, she was hungry and frozen.
Ruan Wenrou enjoyed the best resources. When she was learning piano and painting, she worked hard to pay for the tuition.
Ruan Wenrou had a minor illness. While the whole family was comforting her, she was handing out flyers on the street with a high fever of 40 degrees.
She was so surprised to finally grow up to the age of 18 that she suddenly learned that her parents were still alive.
She wore her best clothes and came to the Ruan family nervously.
It was magnificent here, and the toilet was bigger than the room she lived in before.
But her parents looked at her with picky eyes. They despised her for being poor, uneducated, and unable to play the piano or paint.
Her brother was also full of hostility towards her and warned her not to covet everything that Ruan Wenrou had.
She was inferior and eager. She
tried hard to cater to and please them.
But in return, she was disappointed again and again.
She suddenly felt that the wontons in her mouth had no taste.
Yes.
How can wontons without salt be delicious?
It's just that she was blinded by her mother's filter before.
Just like this chicken-rib-like family affection.
Even though she was their biological daughter, she was never the daughter they expected.
She exchanged everything she had for nothing but the things they didn't care about and gave away casually.
Ruan Xinyin's heart completely turned cold.
For the first time, she didn't talk back to Xiang Li or retort.
Xiang Li was surprised and relieved: "Mom knows that you are a good child. You should finish your meal early and have a good rest." Xiang
Li left after she finished speaking.
Only Ruan Xinyin was left.
She pushed away the bowl of wontons and unfolded the business card in her palm.
On the simple business card, there was only Gu Xingshi's name and phone number.
This name was like a spark, falling into Ruan Xinyin's silent eyes, and setting the prairie on fire.
-Gu
Xingshi received a call from Ruan Xinyin the next morning.
Ruan Xinyin sounded a little tired, but she was in good spirits: "Mr. Gu, can I sign the contract now?"
Gu Xingshi was stunned.
He thought Ruan Xinyin would consider it for a while, but she made up her mind in just one night.
"Of course." He thought of Ruan Xinyin's family situation and took the initiative to say, "How about I ask someone to pick you up?"
Ruan Xinyin: "No, no, just send me the address and I can come by myself."
About an hour and a half later, Ruan Xinyin sent a message saying that she was almost there. Gu Xingshi happened to have nothing to do, so he simply went to pick her up. Unexpectedly, when
he arrived at the door of the company, he saw Ruan Xinyin parking a shared bicycle.
She had a backpack on her shoulders. It looked a little old, but very clean and bulging. No one knew what was in it.
Gu Xingshi looked at her in shock: "You...you didn't come here on a shared bike?"
He remembered that the Ruan family was not close to the company.
He thought that even if she couldn't summon the Ruan family's driver, it should be no problem for her to take a taxi.
The Ruan family is a wealthy family after all. Even if they treat Ruan Xinyin harshly, they wouldn't be so stingy that the pocket money they give her can't even cover the taxi fare!
Ruan Xinyin shook her head and explained seriously: "I took the bus first, and then rode a shared bike for the last section. In fact, I could have transferred to the subway, but the subway cost one yuan more than the shared bike, so I rode a bike."
Gu Xingshi: "..."
Why does this sound even worse!
"It's not that bad." Ruan Xinyin waved her hands, a little shy, "It's just that I like to save money."
She said, and opened her bag to show Gu Xingshi, which contained lunch boxes, water cups, paper towels, and even umbrellas.
Gu Xingshi: "..."
He led Ruan Xinyin into the company.
Today's Le Shi is no longer the small cat that it was in the past. With the expansion of business, the company's departments are becoming more and more complete, and the number of people has increased.
However, the most dazzling one is still the artist department.
Gu Xingshi originally wanted to introduce it to Ruan Xinyin, but he found that she knew everything and knew a lot.
After asking, he found out that Ruan Xinyin had not slept all night last night and searched for relevant information about Le Shi on the Internet.
She was a little embarrassed: "I prefer to prepare in advance, otherwise I will be more panicked."
Gu Xingshi: "..."
He thought his own artists were already competitive enough.
Unexpectedly, compared with Ruan Xinyin, it is simply a dwarf meeting a giant. She hasn't signed a contract yet, but she has already started to compete.
At this moment, the door of the recording studio next to it opened, and Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin walked out of it, talking and laughing.
Seeing Gu Xingshi and Ruan Xinyin beside him, both of them were stunned.
Ruan Xinyin recognized the identities of the two people. They were the first two artists signed by Gu Xingshi.
She suddenly felt uneasy.
This reminded her of the day when she was brought back to the Ruan family by Ruan Yi and his wife.
At that time, her brothers Ruan Chengze and Ruan Wenrou were talking and laughing like this, forming a small world of their own, chatting about topics that she couldn't understand.
Their attitude told her that they had never intended to accept her from the beginning.
Gu Xingshi had just introduced Ruan Xinyin's identity to Meng Cheng and the others when he received a call that there was an urgent document to be signed.
So he could only entrust Ruan Xinyin to the two of them and left in a hurry.
Ruan Xinyin subconsciously curled up her fingers and resigned herself to the embarrassment that followed.
Then, Cheng Xin shouted excitedly: "What! We finally have a junior sister! Our Gu family class is finally not a temple anymore!"
Then he was pushed aside by Meng Yuansheng, who smiled gently: "Watch your mouth, don't scare people!"
Meng Yuansheng taught Cheng Xin a lesson before extending his hand to Ruan Xinyin: "Hello, I'm Meng Yuansheng, Mr. Gu said you are good at singing, we can communicate with each other in the future."
Ruan Xinyin was stunned.
Meng Yuansheng's gentle attitude made her think she was dreaming.
Meng Yuansheng continued: "The noisy person just now was Cheng Xin. Mr. Gu also has two artists, Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing. Qin Wen is currently shooting a commercial, and Xiaoqing is about to join the crew. They are not in the company. I will introduce them to you when they come back..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Cheng Xin directly pull a group chat video: "Hahahaha, look, look! Junior sisters! Fresh junior sisters!! You guys were not in the company, so you missed them! Hahahaha!"
Meng Yuansheng covered his forehead silently: "..."
Ruan Xinyin looked at Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing on the screen, a little at a loss.
Then she saw Qin Wen, who was usually extremely fierce in his fight against the media, said to her with a smile: "Junior sister Xiyin, I will bring you a gift when I get back after I'm done."
Sheng Yueqing was practicing body shape for the new movie. His comic-like delicate face was distorted by torture. He screamed and said to Ruan Xiyin: "Junior sister... I can't come back after joining the crew... I'll send you a gift... It hurts!!!!"
Ruan Xiyin: "..."
She could easily feel the kindness they released.
The four of them were very familiar with each other, and occasionally they would talk about work-related topics, but they would never ignore her.
Meng Yuansheng would explain it to her carefully, and Cheng Xin would call her junior sister all the time. As long as she asked, he would tell her everything, wishing to shake out the little secrets of others.
Although Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing were separated by a screen, they still cared about her and shared with her tips for survival in the entertainment industry (bushi).
In just a short while, Ruan Xinyin became familiar with them.
She was even a little dazed. Is this the feeling of being accepted?
The whole person felt a little unreal.
At this moment, Cheng Xin suddenly stopped and his face became serious: "I almost forgot, there is one more thing!"
Ruan Xinyin was affected by his attitude and her expression changed: "What...what is it?"
Cheng Xin opened WeChat, revealing a group chat interface, and solemnly displayed it in front of Ruan Xinyin.
Ruan Xinyin: "... President Gu's fan club?"
Cheng Xin nodded: "As long as you are a fan of President Gu, you are our friend."
Ruan Xinyin: "..."
How to say it.
Suddenly there was a real sense of belonging.
-After
Gu Xingshi signed Ruan Xinyin, he planned her next direction - singer.
Ruan Xinyin has a good voice talent, but after all, she has not received professional training.
Gu Xingshi found a professional teacher to improve her skills while collecting songs, intending to release a single for her first.
This is also a common method used by music companies when launching new singers.
Newcomers do not have enough traffic, and it is difficult to accumulate fans
when they first debut. However, Gu Xingshi is not worried about this.
As early as after signing Ruan Xinyin, he asked Ruan Xinyin to register on Weibo and released a new artist trailer.
Meng Yuansheng and others also followed up with Weibo to welcome their junior sister.
As soon as these Weibo posts were sent out, Ruan Xinyin's name instantly became a hot search.
After all, everyone knows that the artists signed by President Gu are not only good people, but also famous.
But since Gu Xingshi signed Sheng Yueqing, he has not signed any new artists.
Who is not curious about who the next "Purple Star" will be?
[Oh my god! It's President Gu's new artist!!!]
[Looking at the name, it looks like a girl! The sister is great!!!]
[Ten minutes, I want all the information about this sister!!!]
However, netizens searched the entire Internet and couldn't find any information about Ruan Xinyin.
[The sister is so mysterious! Did she come back from abroad?]
[Even if she came back from abroad, there shouldn't be any information about her on the Internet. Could it be that she was practicing in some isolated place and was discovered by President Gu!]
[Mei Ruan is so patient. With such a large amount of traffic, she only posted a Weibo to say hello!]
...
Ruan Xinyin was shocked.
She didn't expect that in less than an afternoon, her Weibo fans had exceeded 100,000, and it was still growing.
There were tens of thousands of comments under her Weibo post saying hello.
She looked at Gu Xingshi with her phone, as if she was holding a hot potato.
Gu Xingshi was calm: "It's not a big problem. If you want to post a Weibo, post it. If you don't want to post it, don't post it."
Ruan Xinyin hesitated for a moment: "If you want to post, what should
you post?" Gu Xingshi: "Well... the single hasn't come out yet, just post something about your daily life."
Daily life...
Ruan Xinyin nodded thoughtfully: "I see." Ruan Yi
soon found out that Ruan Xinyin's post was on the hot search.
Since the dance that day, he has been unlucky.
Not to mention getting in touch with Mr. Wen, even other families don't care about them, but they are getting along well with Gu Xingshi.
Ruan Yi regretted it a lot.
If he had known this earlier, he should have clung to Gu Xingshi.
Who would have thought that he, who had nothing to do with the rich and powerful, would now become a guest of honor in several top rich families, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the darling of all the families.
But it's too late to regret now.
After all, at the ball, Gu Xingshi's disgust for Ruan Wenrou and Xiang Li was visible to the naked eye.
As a result, the reputation of their Ruan family also deteriorated.
Just when Ruan Yi was getting anxious, he suddenly discovered that his biological daughter Ruan Xinyin, whom he had always disliked, had signed a contract with Gu Xingshi, and the contract had just been signed and she was directly on the hot search.
Ruan Yi, who considers himself a wealthy family, naturally doesn't want his daughter to enter the entertainment industry as an actress.
But if she can become a top star, that's a different story.
What's more, Ruan Xiyin is an artist of Gu Xingshi.
Everyone in the industry knows that President Gu has a lot of resources. Isn't it easy to make someone famous?
And he can also use Gu Xingshi to hook up with Wen Yue, killing two birds with one stone.
Ruan Yi was so excited that he immediately asked the company's publicity department to post a Weibo.
Ruan Group: [@Ruan Xiyin, congratulations on your debut! #President Gu's new artist Ruan Xiyin##Ruan Xiyin's mystery#]
This Weibo post was quickly noticed by netizens and instantly became a hot topic.
Countless netizens flocked to this Weibo post.
Ruan Group has never been so lively since the creation of Weibo.
Although the company's publicity was in a mess, it was not vague when answering netizens' questions, and confirmed Miss Ruan Xinyin's identity.
[Fuck! Ruan Mei is actually a rich lady! Awesome!!]
[A rich daughter, and also a contracted artist of President Gu, I would be so happy if I had any of these identities, but Ruan Mei actually has both, I am stunned!!]
[Ruan Mei posted on Weibo!! Let me go and see the life of a rich daughter hehehe!!]
So, countless netizens flooded into Ruan Xinyin's Weibo again.
Ruan Xinyin: [Hello everyone, I am Ruan Xinyin. Today we are going to challenge to live on 20 yuan a day in Beijing. Today's money-saving tips get√[video]]
Netizens: [???]
