After making an appointment with Xiao Fang, Lan Shuang glanced at the time. It felt like she hadn't done anything, but it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
She set an alarm for herself to remind herself to get up in the morning to cook for Lan Xue, and then fell asleep.
On the other side, Gu Xiao woke up from his dream.
…
In the beautifully decorated room, the floor lamp emits soft light that is not dazzling, and the warm orange color falls on the handmade carpet and then spreads to the bedside.
Gu Xiao's sharp face also softened, his chin buried in the quilt, and he was in a deep sleep.
However, he didn't know what he was dreaming about, but his expression suddenly became uneasy, his brows furrowed, his lips slightly parted, and intermittent breathing sounds were heard in the bedroom.
The bizarre dream pulled him down, constantly switching back and forth between various scenes. Too many memories came flooding in, and Gu Xiao suffered from indigestion. He couldn't help but groan in pain, until he saw Lan Shuang vomiting blood and fainting in his arms. The snow in the sky seemed to have turned into a knife, slicing his heart again and again.
He felt a strange pain in his heart and a feeling of suffocation. He jumped up suddenly, the quilt was thrown back, and he was sweating profusely.
"Was that... a dream?"
It was rare for Gu Xiao to feel so uncertain. He relaxed for a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, but his heartbeat was still irregular.
Most dreams are forgotten once you wake up, but he still clearly remembers the last scene. They were wearing ancient costumes, Lan Shuang vomited blood and fell into his arms, and there seemed to be other people beside them.
“Tsk…”
Gu Xiao scratched his hair and said, "What a broken dream."
He grabbed the phone from the bedside and checked the time. It was 1:30 in the morning.
He lay back down and tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep at all. When he closed his eyes, all he could think about were the scenes in his dream, which made Gu Xiao upset. He had no choice but to open his eyes, pick up his phone and look for a movie to watch.
However, when he unlocked the phone, he found that Huo Youqian had sent him a message not long ago, so he clicked on it.
Huo Youqian: [Ah Xiao, Xiao Fang has contacted Lan Shuang. She just told me that she wants to investigate two people. I've already paid for it. You're welcome.]
Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and the restlessness in his heart calmed down a little, "Investigate two people?"
Bai Moran and Gu Ting?
He was about to send a reply message to Huo Youqian, but after checking the time, he gave up the idea. His fingertips paused for a moment and he clicked on Lan Shuang's Weibo. The most recent post was from three years ago. It was not about explaining the matter of the third party, but about an advertisement she endorsed even earlier.
He became interested and clicked to follow. This was his main account, but not many people followed it. After all, he didn't often post anything online, so his account was very clean.
Because of the show, Lan Shuang's number of fans has been increasing. Regardless of whether she is scolded or criticized, the number of people following her is indeed increasing, which is a good thing.
He opened Lan Shuang's past Weibo posts and read them one by one. Most of them were about sharing her daily life and selfies, and the rest were reposts and endorsements of advertisements. They were boring and not as interesting as her in person.
Gu Xiao exited in disappointment and searched for Lan Shuang directly to see what the related entries were. Most of them were analyzing the gossip of that year. There were black fans and passers-by who were chasing her, and there were also fans who were determined to defend her. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and all kinds of evidence were constantly being sent out.
"recording……"
He had only heard of this recording but had never really listened to it from beginning to end. Since he had nothing to do, Gu Xiao decided to get to know his "ally" more deeply.
He clicked on a marketing account that seemed to have a very clear analysis, opened the recording and listened to it.
The recording is not long, just over two minutes.
"I know about your affairs. What do you take me for?"
The voice sounded very vicissitudes of life and aggrieved. It was not Lan Shuang's, but Bai Moran's.
Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I caused you so much harm."
This is Lan Shuang's voice.
It was a nail in the coffin from the first sentence. Gu Xiao frowned, feeling something was wrong, and continued to listen.
"You don't know? You just say you don't know? Do you like Gu Ting so much? Do you like him so much that you want to follow him even if it means you have no name or status?"
"I like Gu Ting, and I haven't thought about the relationship. Because of our special status, I think we can't make it public for the time being. I am willing to wait for him."
"You...you really are...what can I say? You are willing to wait for him, but is he willing to wait for you? There are so many temptations around him, how can you think you will be the special one?"
"I...Gu Ting is indeed outstanding. There are people who like him all the time. I don't think I'm special, but I really love him."
…
What follows is Bai Moran's words of advice, which will be over in two minutes. It sounds like Lan Shuang is seducing Gu Ting one-sidedly. As the original wife who has experienced many ups and downs, Bai Moran is exhausted in advising her. Although Gu Ting is a scumbag, he is a very charming scumbag. There are so many people who like him. He was just bewildered for a while and made the same mistake that all men would make.
After hearing this, Gu Ting sneered. Who said Bai Moran was a loser? Why did he think she was too smart?
She cleared herself and Gu Ting of all charges, allowing Gu Ting to see her sensibleness and feel guilty towards her. Then she turned around and nailed Lan Shuang to the moral cross for people to curse. It must be said that she was really smart.
And Lan Shuang...
Gu Xiao remembered that Lan Shuang had firmly told him that she was not the third party and that she was also the one who was deceived. If she was really the one deceived by Gu Xiao, then this farce was too cruel for her.
With a gloomy face, he went through all the so-called evidences mentioned by those marketing accounts. It turned out that they were all blurry photos. There was not even an intimate photo of Gu Ting and Lan Shuang, not even a frontal photo. The only thing that could really prove their claim was the recording.
He snorted coldly, reported all these marketing accounts, and then quit Weibo, intending to turn a blind eye to it. But after lying there for a while, he became more and more angry and disgusted the more he thought about it. He turned around and called his assistant to urge him to leave.
The assistant cursed and got out of bed. When he saw it was his boss calling, he immediately put on a fake professional smile and said in a very official manner, "Good morning, boss. What can I do for you?"
Gu Xiao: "Go, find out who's behind these marketing accounts and have the company's legal department sue them for spreading rumors and infringing copyright."
Assistant: "Huh? Whose rumor are you making? Whose rights are you infringing on?"
Gu Xiao tapped his finger on the edge of the bed, "Spreading rumors about my future artist."
assistant:"???"
When did their company have artists?
That’s what he thought and asked, and then his headstrong boss said, “I’ll have it once I’ve negotiated.”
assistant:"……"
You don't sound like you're dating an artist, but rather like you're going to marry a boss lady.
