Lan Shuang fell silent as she spoke. Gu Xiao guessed she might have fallen asleep. She must have been very tired after a long day of flying and attending a dinner. Gu Xiao stopped messaging her and sat in front of his computer, looking at the data. He sighed, "How nice! She can still sleep while I still have to work overtime."
His entertainment company had just opened, and there was a lot of things to do. He also needed to take care of the overseas industries. He took over the company from his father, and there were still many things to deal with, and he was often busy until the early morning.
Of course, he was also busy setting a trap for Gu Ting.
A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes. The Gu family was a large family, so conflicts of interest were inevitable. Gu Ting's father and his father had been fighting for many years, and it was difficult to tell who was the better one. That was why Old Man Gu was wavering.
Gu Xiao has always been unwilling to be inferior to others, so how could he admit defeat like this?
He had no interest in the Gu family's property before, but later his mother died of depression because of his father's cheating. Before she died, her biggest wish was to take back what belonged to Gu Xiao and never let it fall into the hands of those women outside.
So Gu Xiao suddenly changed his behavior and started to care about the Gu family's property. It was one thing if he didn't want it, but if he wanted it, no one could snatch it from him, not even his philandering and promiscuous father, let alone Gu Ting.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and continued to work.
…
The next day, the crew went to the set and held a simple opening ceremony. The leading actors took turns to burn incense. Lan Shuang was female number six, so it was not her turn to do such things. She stood in the corner when taking group photos, but once the photos were posted, netizens could not resist their sharp eyes and spotted her immediately.
As a result, the Weibo accounts of the production crew and Lan Shuang were flooded with comments.
What's going on? Am I dazzled? Is that Lan Shuang?
[Damn, how did she get into such a big crew for "Jie Chun"? Is this fake?]
[The official Weibo account even tagged her, how could it be fake? This is quite interesting, let's take a closer look.]
[Who is she playing? No, how dare they use such a bad artist? Have people forgotten her acting skills? It was so shocking back then! Her fans kept on blaming her, and now she's made it into the film industry? Is she relying on being a mistress again?]
The comments below became more and more harsh, and some people even started to fan the flames and take the lead in demanding that the crew replace some actors.
The crew's supervisory staff were also a bit embarrassed by this and approached the director, saying, "Director, there's a lot of controversy online about Lan Shuang's role, and everyone's clamoring for a replacement. Should we still insist on using her? Will it affect the subsequent box office? How about replacing her? She's just the sixth female lead anyway."
The director recalled Lan Shuang's performance at the audition and shook his head. "Besides, if they just let public opinion sway them and just replace people, and they get a taste of success, the online malpractices will only get worse. If they find out that they can force a replacement just by shouting and making a scene, what do you think they'll do next?"
The staff member was speechless. The director patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. Let everyone do what they need to do and focus on filming."
"good."
The incident passed without any major incident. Lan Shuang did not make any explanation online. She simply forwarded the Weibo post and disappeared.
The crew filmed as usual. There was no scene for Lan Shuang on the first day, but Lan Shuang still went to the set. She wanted to see the director's filming style and also wanted to listen to him talk about acting. It never hurts to learn more.
The director noticed her, said nothing, and approved of her behavior.
At lunch time, someone suddenly came and called Lan Shuang away.
Lan Shuang followed and saw that it was Gu Ting. He was sitting in Gu Han's lounge. Seeing her coming, he smiled and waved at her: "Want to eat together?"
Lan Shuang decisively refused, "No need, Xiao Xu has already ordered food, I'll go back and eat."
As she turned to leave, Gu Ting's expression changed slightly. He stood up and grabbed her arm, "Shuangshuang—are you still angry with me?"
Lan Shuang: “…”
She almost failed.
How could this guy have the nerve to ask such a stupid question with a face that even an atomic bomb can't penetrate?
Shouldn't she be angry? Because of him, she was cyberbullied for three years, to the point of quitting the entertainment industry, unable to lead a normal life for a time, and the family moved several places before settling down. Shouldn't she hate him?
How can he still be so carefree and cheerful here?
Does he think that as long as he snaps his fingers, he will follow him happily?
Lan Shuang's heart was about to erupt, and 888 quickly jumped in: "Host, calm down! Calm down! Don't get angry with scumbags. You'll ruin your health if you get angry!"
"Shuangshuang?" Seeing that Lan Shuang didn't say anything, Gu Ting probably thought that her attitude had softened, so he took advantage of the situation and moved his arm up to hold her shoulders.
This irritated Lan Shuang. She suddenly opened Gu Ting's hand and said calmly in the face of Gu Ting's surprised gaze: "Boss Gu, Mr. Movie King Gu, we have no relationship anymore. I'm not angry, but I hate you. I won't change that. Don't waste your time on me. Goodbye."
She lowered her eyes and turned to leave. With her hand on the door handle, she said in an ambiguous tone, "If you have the time, why don't you go home and spend time with your wife?"
“Shuangshuang——”
Gu Ting watched the door close, put his hands on his waist, and snorted, "Bai Moran, she is still angry and still cares about Bai Moran's identity."
After thinking about it, he sat down and took out his mobile phone. He looked at the message from Bai Moran on WeChat, asking him to go back for dinner in the evening. He sneered.
After so many years, he is no longer a useless person who is helpless and can be manipulated by his family at will. The Bai family no longer poses a threat to him. It is not impossible for him to divorce Bai Moran now.
