"If you don't want to marry Huo Xiuxiu, go back to the old house immediately to see your father, find out what he means, and let me know in time."
"I'm going to be the first to step forward again, brother. You're not going to dig a pit for me to fall into again, are you? You clearly said that I was only temporarily taking over Vantone and that you would take over personally later. But now it's been a full six months, and you've just pushed this matter directly onto me. You know I'm not interested in this."
"If you don't go back and find out the truth, Huo Xiuxiu will most likely become your wife, Guo Qize. Do you want to give it a try?"
"No! Brother, please don't act impulsively. I'm your own brother! You're pushing your brother into a fire pit. Huo Xiuxiu is so cunning. Marrying her would mean a daily palace intrigue. I'm afraid I'd die young."
It's terrifying to even think about.
If the old man insists on a marriage alliance with the Huo family, only the eldest brother can keep Huo Xiuxiu in check.
"Are you going back or not?"
Guo Qize sighed helplessly, "I'm having dinner with some friends right now. I'll go back and ask them after I finish eating, okay?"
Guo Qiheng grunted an "Mm" and hung up the phone decisively.
Guo Qize rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. What had he done wrong? Why did he have to bear such an unbearable burden at such a young age?

next day
At 5 a.m., a message went viral online.
#Well-known influencer Zhang Yafei has not appeared in public for several days; she has actually been murdered.#
This message was the first post from a blogger who had just registered a new account. Because Zhang Yafei has hardly appeared in public recently, fans and netizens are speculating that something must have happened to her.
I never expected it to be such a big deal.
Zhang Yafei is one of the four most popular young actresses in the entertainment industry, with a large following and many loyal fans.
The message went viral across the internet in less than an hour after it was posted.
Fans didn't believe the news was true and went to Zhang Yafei's studio and Jiashang Media's official Weibo account to press for answers.
To date, the last message from Zhang Yafei's studio is from four days ago. Previously, the studio would post messages every day, but there hasn't been a single message in the past four days.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yafei, as Jiashang Media's most profitable young actress, had her schedule fully booked by the company.
Just four days ago, the official Weibo account stopped releasing any updates about Zhang Yafei's schedule.
Fans began to get restless after linking the strange behavior of Zhang Yafei's studio and Jiashang's official Weibo account.
Subsequently, the Weibo blogger posted another diary entry.
He said the diary was written by Zhang Yafei before her death, and there are nine pictures in total, each of which is a diary entry.
First entry: He hasn't contacted me in a long time, and when I call him, he always gives me perfunctory answers. I loved him deeply for five years, but in the end, I've become a pathetic and laughable existence.
Deep down, I know I shouldn't get too involved, and I need to learn to forget him and let him go. But the love deep in my heart is like a drug addiction; once you're hooked, it's hard to quit.
Part Two: He just returned to the country today and rushed off to see that woman. I know I shouldn't have had someone follow him, but I can't help but feel a crazy longing for him. Even if I can't see him, I'd rather know what he's doing. He's a cold and indifferent person, polite and courteous to everyone, but I know that in his heart, everyone is just someone he uses. He said that woman was the same, but I can see that in his heart, that woman is different. Even if he doesn't say it, I know it.
The fourth and subsequent eighth chapters all tell the story of the man she deeply loved falling in love with another woman he shouldn't have loved.
The grief and helplessness between the lines made her writing appear very bleak.
After reading these diary entries, people can't help but be curious about the men and women mentioned by the diary's protagonist.
If this is Zhang Yafei's diary, then who is the man mentioned?
Her boyfriend, Guo Qize, seems to have recently fallen for up-and-coming actress Meng Ke'er. They have been photographed by paparazzi dining out together on several occasions, and it seems that Guo Qize wants to go public with their relationship.
Could the man she was talking about be Guo Qize, and the girl be Meng Ke'er?
In the ninth diary entry, there is a sentence: He is often abroad and rarely comes back. When I miss him, I recall the little things we did together. I love you, Mu Zi.
Some speculate that the "Mu Zi" that Zhang Yafei mentioned at the end was actually the character "Li," which suggests that the other person's surname is likely "Li," rather than Guo Qize.
Moreover, Zhang Yafei and Guo Qize have only been together for a little over a year, which doesn't seem right in terms of timing.
7:00 AM
The blogger posted another message, and this time the implication was very clear.
The Master of the Rose: "I cannot reveal the identity of the man Yafei loved most before her death. I can only say that she truly loved this man and was even willing to die for him. Their relationship was very deep before, but a woman's sudden intervention caused a rift in their relationship. That mistress is also in the entertainment industry. She has a popular drama currently airing on a certain satellite TV channel, and she is currently very popular online, with a lot of controversy. Her identity is also very powerful, and we small stars in the entertainment industry cannot afford to offend her."
This passage is worth examining.
First, Guo Qize's trusted girlfriend, Meng Ke'er, was ruled out.
Because Meng Ke'er is a newcomer, and debuted as a member of a girl group, she has only participated in a few less popular variety shows. She usually sings and dances, and has never acted in a TV series.
If it's not Meng Ke'er, then Guo Qize can be ruled out.
After carefully reading the words of "The Master of Tu Mi", it can be confirmed that the other party is an actress. There is a TV series currently airing on a certain satellite TV channel, and it is a hit drama. She has recently become very popular online, and there is a lot of controversy surrounding her. And most importantly, she has a powerful background.
