This time she came to participate in a charity auction initiated by Pei Ji, president of Pei Group. The funds raised will be used for the rescue and treatment of marine life.
Pei Ji is only 28 years old, but he has topped the list of the world's richest people for three consecutive years. A side photo of him leaked from a financial magazine last year made him the love rival of many men and the husband of countless women.
The general public is very interested in this young rich man and wants to dig out all the information about him. Unfortunately, this big man rarely appears in public and is very mysterious. However, this still cannot resist the fantasies of many women about him.
Precisely because he is too mysterious, there are many rumors about him.
It's said he's incredibly handsome, yet averse to women; it's said he grew up in a temple until the age of ten, and for a time believed himself a monk; it's also said he's incredibly ruthless in business, often prompting other members of the rich list to sign joint petitions against him...
The charity auction has been held for nine years now, with this year marking the tenth. Initially, most attendees were prominent figures in the environmental protection and philanthropy sectors. However, over time, the nature of the auction has gradually changed.
Now it has become a large gathering of the upper class and a blind date for wealthy families.
Therefore, Pei Ji has rarely appeared at auctions in recent years, but this still cannot stop those women from coming one after another and trying their best to get tickets to the auction.
After boarding the ship, Xue Huan was taken to her room by the waiter. She saw many beautiful women from various countries dressed in their own unique styles.
But she was different. She came to this auction not for the legendary big boss, but for Gu Tianyi, the male protagonist in this novel world.
Yes, this is the world of a novel called "The Movie King's Confused Little Wife", and Gu Tianyi is the Movie King.
Xue Huan has been here for several years now, and her mission is to dutifully play the villainous female supporting role in this book, facilitating the romantic relationship between the hero and heroine. Once she completes this mission, she can return to her original world and live again!
Although it has been several years since the time travel, the plot of the novel did not officially unfold until this auction. It was also on this cruise ship that the hero and heroine had their first encounter.
How could she, the vicious female supporting character, be absent at this important plot point?
It’s just that this auction was initiated by a big shot, and all those who received the invitation are big shot-level figures.
As a second-tier actress who has been badly criticized in the entertainment industry, Xue Huan is not qualified to participate. Of course, looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are not many people who can participate.
Even the male lead Gu Tianyi who won the Best Actor award not long ago did not get the invitation based on his own identity, but through the back door.
Gu Tianyi's mother, Ms. Pei, is from the Pei family. However, the blood relationship between Ms. Pei's Pei family and Pei Ji's Pei family is actually very weak. They are the kind of relatives who are very distant from each other.
Although, after all, he has the surname Pei, and China is a society based on personal relationships, so Gu Tianyi got the invitation based on this relative relationship.
Gu Tianyi could use the back door, and so could Xue Huan. She pestered Old Man Gu and got the invitation.
Old Man Gu is Gu Tianyi’s grandfather, and “Xue Huan” actually has no blood relationship with him. The one who is related to Old Man Gu is “Xue Huan’s” mother Li Dai.
Li Dai was once a world-famous movie star and the dream lover of many people. Unfortunately, she suddenly retired from the film industry and left the circle, which made countless people sigh with regret.
There are many speculations about this from the outside world. In fact, the reason why Li Dai retired from the entertainment industry was just because she found out that she was pregnant and decided to give birth to the child.
This child is Xue Huan.
When Xue Huan was twelve years old, Li Dai was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Before she died, she entrusted her daughter to her godfather, Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu then took Xue Huan to the Gu family and loved her like his own granddaughter.
He even treats Xue Huan better than his own granddaughter.
This caused conflicts within the Gu family and some disgusting speculations, saying that Xue Huan was actually the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Gu and Li Dai.
Entertainment circle, famous actress, godfather and goddaughter, these words can easily evoke people's associations, and these associations are also colored.
Of course, the people in the Gu family only dared to speculate privately, and no one dared to speak openly. After all, the head of the Gu family was still Grandpa Gu.
In the novel, Xue Huan fell in love with Gu Tianyi for some reason, and Old Man Gu was happy to see it happen. However, Gu Tianyi himself was very disgusted with her, probably because she did not inherit the unparalleled beauty of her mother Li Dai.
However, in order to gain the support of Mr. Gu, Gu Tianyi's parents repeatedly reminded their son Gu Tianyi in private that even if he didn't like Xue Huan, he should be nice to her. In this way, Mr. Gu, who favored Xue Huan, would be more likely to value their family more.
However, Gu Tianyi became increasingly intolerant of Xue Huan's pestering, and when she turned eighteen, he completely exploded.
At Xue Huan's eighteenth birthday party, Grandpa Gu publicly announced the engagement between his grandson Gu Tianyi and Xue Huan. Gu Tianyi exploded on the spot and had a huge quarrel with Grandpa Gu in front of many guests, almost making Grandpa Gu seriously injured.
"I will never marry Xue Huan in my life! Just give up on that idea!" After saying this, Gu Tianyi walked away.
Old Master Gu was furious and threatened that without his grandson Gu Tianyi, if he ever stepped out of the house today, he would never come back!
Gu Tianyi was also tough and really ran away from home.
Afterwards, Mr. Gu suspended Gu Tianyi's card, giving him a deep understanding of the dangers of society.
However, Gu Tianyi is worthy of being the male protagonist, and he always has the halo of the male protagonist on his head. Even without the protection of the Gu family, he can still thrive in the entertainment industry. Soon, he won the hearts of thousands of girls with his exquisite and handsome face.
Of course, in the eyes of the older generation, no matter how successful one is in the entertainment industry, what's the difference? It's simply a disgrace to the family!
So Mr. Gu became even angrier towards Gu Tianyi.
However, when it comes to Xue Huan, this old man vividly demonstrates what "double standards" mean!
Xue Huan inherited the original owner's personality and followed Gu Tianyi into the entertainment industry. In the eyes of Mr. Gu, this is self-reliance, self-improvement, and surpassing the master!
Because of her, the old man learned all kinds of young people's tricks and would even secretly vote for her!
When he sees her being attacked, he rolls up his sleeves and joins the fight himself!
Xue Huan used her film pay to buy him a gift. The old man was very happy and kept praising her for her promising future.
Whatever she does is right anyway.
The old man can be said to be her number one fan.
As for Xue Huan's behavior of chasing Gu Tianyi, the old man turned a blind eye and let her do what she wanted.
This time, the old man clearly knew why she asked him for an invitation, but he still arranged it for her.
It can be said that the old man is the only person who has treated Xue Huan sincerely since she came to this world.
As for the others, they were just tools for her to complete her mission. In order to return to her original world, she didn't care at all.
Now, for the sake of her mission, she has to continue to do business.
