When Gu Mingze went to the resort to film, he never expected that Xia Xi would come along, so he carefully avoided the camera to answer the phone: "Didn't I tell you not to contact me during this time?"
Xia Xi said aggrievedly, "But I'm jealous when I see your family showing affection. Mingze, I don't want to break up your family. I don't want to ruin your reputation. I just want to see you and the children."
Hearing her say that, Gu Mingze softened: "Where are you now?"
"It's a hotel in the city. Don't worry, I won't be around the resort."
However, in the evening, Xia Xi suddenly called to say that she had a stomachache, so Gu Mingze had to say that a client had come to visit and he had to go and meet him.
Although Qiao Leyi was unhappy that her secretary hadn't arranged work for her properly, she couldn't say anything in front of the camera, only telling him not to overwork himself.
"I'm not tired. The client's idea was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. It's just that I feel bad for you. We had planned to have a barbecue together with the four families, but I can't make it."
"It would be good if you could come with me. Go ahead."
Gu Mingze rushed to the hotel and learned that Xia Xi had been sent to the hospital. Instantly, all his dissatisfaction disappeared; it turned out she really was feeling unwell.
How is the baby?
"The doctor said it's nothing serious, I just need to rest in bed for a couple more days."
"I told you not to run around."
"But you haven't come to see me in so long, so I can only see you on TV and watch you two showing affection. Mingze, I know it's wrong of me to think like this, but when I see how much you dote on her, I just get jealous."
Gu Mingze pulled her into his arms: "Under the camera, things won't look so real. Don't overthink it. I think your stomachache this time is just from overthinking."
"Then even if you're busy, you should call or text me every day, okay? That way I'll know you're here."
"Okay, I promise."
At this moment, Gu Mingze was unaware that his arrival at the hospital had been filmed, which was about to trigger a major incident in their family. Meanwhile, Qiao Leyi at the resort was explaining to everyone that he had gone to work temporarily.
After clearing her name through this variety show, Gu Zhiya didn't rush to film a movie. Instead, she tried to contact the Lin family, but unfortunately, the Lin family never responded.
Sister Hua quickly found out the news: "Lin's Medical has always had a good reputation. After entering the skincare industry, its stock price has soared. It is about to launch a new skincare line for young people. Gu Zhiya wants to become the spokesperson for this skincare line. If possible, Xinghe can also compete for it. Lin's not only has a high endorsement fee, but more importantly, it also has a good image for the spokesperson. After all, it is a national brand."
Song Xia said knowingly, "I think Gu Zhiya cares more about the young CEO Lin who is about to take over the Lin family business than just this endorsement."
"What?" This was something Sister Hua hadn't noticed.
"Lin Boyu, the heir of the Lin family, is returning to China. I heard he's officially taking over the Lin family skincare company. The Lin family has a deeper foundation than the Gu family. Lin Boyu isn't much older than Gu Zhiya. Her and her mother's ultimate goal should be Lin Boyu."
Sister Hua sighed, "I really didn't expect this! Back then, no one could have imagined that Qiao Leyi, a star from an ordinary family, would end up marrying Gu Mingze. She wasn't even the most famous at the time. Maybe she planned to marry into a wealthy family from the beginning, so she always maintained her reputation very well. Now she's probably planning the same path for her daughter. But the Gu family is already so rich, why should her daughter marry into a wealthy family and have to swallow her pride? Not all wealthy families are like the Gu family."
She scoffed, "Even with Gu Mingze's image as someone who loves his wife so much, he still had someone else on the side."
“People have different ideas. We think that once we have a career and money, we can enjoy life and not be bound by anything. Others think that the glamorous life of the wealthy is what makes life worthwhile.”
"However, if Xia Xi's matter is exposed, netizens will feel more sorry for Qiao Leyi, since Gu Mingze is the one at fault."
"But she can't bear the thought of her ostentatious life of luxury turning into a joke, and she won't take the initiative to divorce him. As for Gu Mingze, his reputation will only be damaged. Moreover, once the Gu family elders find out that Xia Xi gave birth to a boy, under their influence, Gu Mingze won't think he did anything wrong. After all, Gu Zhiya isn't cut out to manage a company."
Sister Hua suddenly felt a pang of pity: "To be honest, the mother and daughter didn't cause Xinghe any particularly serious harm. Aren't we going a bit too far by doing this?"
Song Xia stared blankly out the window: "Sister Hua, when I called you that day, I kept having the same dream. In the dream, Xinghe was framed and ruined, and eventually died of depression from cyberbullying. That dream felt so real, and I was afraid it would come true, so I had to strike first."
"Was it them, mother and daughter, who made the dream?"
"Um."
That night, Sister Hua had a dream. She dreamt that Xinghe was plotted to commit suicide, and that she was almost tricked when she went to find evidence for Xinghe. When she woke up, Sister Hua was drenched in sweat and felt that the dream was real, because in the dream, Song Xia died of stomach cancer.
Thinking back to last year when Song Xia suddenly said she wanted to get checked out, if it wasn't a reminder from a dream, then what was it?
The methods used against Qiao Leyi and her daughter were not cruel at all. What Meng Lixing and He experienced was a human tragedy. Moreover, they were just the instigators. If Gu Mingze truly loved Qiao Leyi and was truly responsible for his family, how could he have fallen for their trap? You should know that they only arranged for Xia Xi to appear in Gu Mingze's life. He was the one who took the initiative to pursue her.
Hua Jie didn't tell Song Xia about the dream, fearing it would make Song Xia even more anxious. Instead, she personally arranged for an assistant to be by Song Xinghe's side and then actively worked on the matter of Lin's new spokesperson.
Although Gu Zhiya didn't marry that young CEO Lin in her dream, she would never let her guard down. Most importantly, the Lin family's endorsement was really appealing.
Song Xinghe felt that her mother and Aunt Hua had been too anxious about her lately. She was just filming a movie; did she really need so many assistants? And did they have to be so strict about her food?
However, since they loved and cared for him so wholeheartedly, he couldn't bear to disappoint them, so he could only accept it with a sweet heart.
It's so nice to be able to focus on filming without having to deal with any scandals or controversies! Nowadays, people online say that Gu Zhiya is the happiest child in the world, but she thinks she is.
Moreover, she felt that her mother was right; happiness doesn't need to be defined by outsiders, as long as you feel happy yourself.
