Ling Jiao sat in the living room, politely greeted the elders of the Fu family, and then chatted with Gu Weiwei about work.
Gu Weiwei considered that, given her personality, she didn't really want Fu Shiqin to interfere in her affairs, so she spoke to Fu Hanzheng.
"Ling Jiao and I are going for a walk."
"Hmm." Fu Hanzheng didn't ask any more questions, but got up to get her a down jacket and scarf.
Only after making sure she was properly covered up were they allowed to let her go out with Ling Jiao.
Gu Weiwei took Ling Jiao for a walk in the courtyard near the old house. The courtyard had some green plants planted by the old lady, which were well taken care of.
“Mrs. Fu, I know what you want to say,” Ling Jiao said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei smiled lightly, "I've heard a little about the Yang family's affairs. Filming for 'Butterfly in the Sea' will start after the New Year. As the female lead, I don't want any negative news to appear."
She made this request simply because she wanted someone to help her solve this problem in a legitimate way.
“I know, I will handle it,” Ling Jiao said earnestly.
This work is the culmination of several years of hard work by her and Teacher Yan, and it should not be hindered because of her.
“Although you and the second young master have broken up, we are still friends. If you need help but can’t ask her, you can always ask me,” Gu Weiwei gently advised.
"Mrs. Fu, thank you for your kindness. If it really comes to that, I will ask you for help." Ling Jiao did not refuse her kindness and readily agreed.
She could refuse Fu Shiqin because their relationship was complicated, but she couldn't be so ungrateful to Mrs. Fu.
Gu Weiwei walked to a bench and sat down, speaking softly.
"Although you and the Second Young Master have known each other for quite some time, you probably don't fully understand the Fu family's affairs, or me."
Ling Jiao looked at the person speaking strangely with surprise, "What does Mrs. Fu want to say?"
"There's a secret in the Fu family that's been kept hidden from outsiders," Gu Weiwei said slowly, smiling at her. "And that secret is about me."
“Since it’s a secret, and I’m ultimately an outsider, Mrs. Fu, it’s best not to reveal it to me,” Ling Jiao reminded her with a smile.
Everyone is curious about secrets, but she knew very well that some secrets were better left unknown.
“It’s not that mysterious. Besides the Fu family, a few other people know about it.” Gu Weiwei looked at the person sitting next to her with a distant gaze and slowly said, “I am not the Mu Weiwei that you think I am. The original Mu Weiwei is dead. I am Gu Weiwei who died in the Gu family and took over her body to become the Mu Weiwei in the eyes of the world.”
"Mu Weiwei? Gu Weiwei?" Ling Jiao frowned. Wasn't the Gu family the one that had a deep-seated hatred for the Fu family?
"You probably know something about the feud between the Gu family and the Fu family, and I came from that Gu family." Gu Weiwei smiled and continued, "There, Gu Siting and my best friend Ling Yan made me brain dead, removed my heart and transplanted it into her body, and after I died, I came to China and became Mu Weiwei."
"I once thought that God had taken everything away from me, but after I let go of my obsession with the past, I realized that there are still many people and things in this world that I should cherish."
...
Ling Jiao was stunned and couldn't clear her mind for a long time.
"Mrs. Fu, are these... ideas for your new movie?"
Gu Weiwei shook her head, "It's true, everyone in the Fu family knows that."
She told her all this because she believed Ling Jiao was someone who could keep a secret, and also because she hoped that Ling Jiao could let go of the past and embrace the people and things in the present that she should cherish, just like she did.
