Lan Shuang looked up and saw that it was the director, so she let go of Xiao Xu's hand, whispered a few words to her, and walked over.
The director seemed to be in a good mood today, with a constant smile on his face. He called Lan Shuang over and introduced everyone to each other. "These are the main actors. You should know most of them. This is Lan Shuang. She plays the most popular courtesan Xiang Ling in the play."
The leading actors immediately put on professional fake smiles and shook hands with Lan Shuang, who also responded with impeccable courtesy. Even after the greeting, the director said, "I have put a lot of effort into this film. I hope everyone can cooperate well, polish it carefully, and strive to create another masterpiece."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink. I wish us a good start."
There was a table of champagne next to them. Lan Shuang raised her hand and picked up a glass. Everyone clinked their glasses together and then drank with a smile.
During this period, Gu Han's gaze was always on Lan Shuang, with an inexplicable undercurrent surging in his eyes.
"Okay, the producers are here. I'll go talk to them. Gu Han and Ji Yan, come with me."
"good."
Gu Han and Ji Yan were the male and female protagonists. They followed the director out, but after a few steps, Gu Han turned around and gave Lan Shuang a meaningful smile.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes and found a secluded place to sit.
She didn't want to drink. This body couldn't hold alcohol and drinking too much would cause trouble. She was also tired of these hypocritical social interactions and didn't want to waste time and energy making friends who would block her before she did anything.
Soon, a waiter in a tuxedo came over and leaned over to whisper in Lan Shuang's ear: "Miss Lan, Miss Gu is waiting for you in the lounge. Please follow me."
Lan Shuang looked up and saw Gu Han pushing open a door and nodding at her.
The action has begun.
Lan Shuang smiled and said to the waiter, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome." The waiter led the way, and Lan Shuang followed behind. When they reached the door of the lounge, the waiter said to her, "Miss Gu is inside. Miss Lan, please come in."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lan Shuang looked at the tightly closed door and didn't open it rashly. "Xiao Baba, what's going on in there? Is Gu Han the only one there?"
"Yes, host. Gu Han is the only one inside. I checked and there is no recording or video equipment."
"good."
Lan Shuang then raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"
“Click—”
The door was opened from the inside, and Gu Han's face with delicate makeup was revealed. "So careful, it seems you are really scared."
Lan Shuang ignored her sarcasm and walked straight in. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Don't you already know?" Gu Han closed the door with his backhand and stood at the door with his arms folded, looking at Lan Shuang. "After all these years, you still like my brother, right? Otherwise, why did you follow me when I called you?"
Lan Shuang neither admitted nor denied: "So you called me here to make fun of me?"
In Gu Han's eyes, her attitude was tantamount to acquiescence.
So she looked at Lan Shuang with more disdain. She used her fingers to curl her carefully groomed long hair and tucked it behind her ear. "Since you like him so much, then I'll give you this opportunity. I'll lead him over later. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on you."
"Are you so kind? Didn't you look down on me at first?"
Lan Shuang didn't show any joy at this, but instead surprised Gu Han: "You really have grown up. Indeed, I am not that kind. To this day, I still think you are not worthy of entering my Gu family. However, compared to the Bai family, I like you better. If you can seduce my brother to divorce her, I will give you two million."
She is really generous, worthy of being a rich lady who has no worries about food and clothing. She actually spends money to hire someone to steal her sister-in-law's man. This family is really weird.
"Oh." Lan Shuang looked at her calmly: "Let's talk about it after your brother comes."
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon." Gu Han looked at his watch. "It's almost time. You wait here."
With that she opened the door and walked out.
Lan Shuang sat on the sofa and looked around the lounge.
Although it is called a lounge, it is quite well equipped with sofa, coffee table, TV and bed.
She stood up and walked around, then stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the flashing neon lights outside. She felt a sense of illusion and decadence.
However, she didn't have to wait long before she heard a noise at the door, "Hanhan is here?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
This was the voice of Gu Han's assistant. Lan Shuang's heart tightened. Here it comes!
She didn't look back and just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The room was dark and without any lights on, she couldn't see anything clearly.
After Gu Ting pushed the door open and came in, he didn't notice anything wrong at first. He even asked, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
His voice sounded softer than usual, as if he had drunk too much and was a little tipsy.
The door was closed from the outside at this moment. Gu Ting reached out and felt around on the wall: "What are you throwing a tantrum about again? You didn't pay much attention to me today."
This kind of gentle and intimate tone had never been heard in the original owner's memory, so Lan Shuang was stunned for a moment and almost thought that the person who came in was not Gu Ting, but someone else.
But the moment the dazzling light came on, the man's figure was clearly reflected on the glass. It was indeed Gu Ting.
Seeing the silent person standing in front of the window, Gu Ting tensed up instantly, his gentle facade gone. He gripped the door handle with one hand and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Lan Shuang slowly turned around, and the red crystal earrings reflected bright light under the light, which set off her fair and delicate profile and looked very pleasing to the eye.
"Gu Ting."
Gu Ting's pupils trembled slightly, "It's you."
"It's me." Lan Shuang turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down, raising her chin towards the person opposite her: "Sit down and talk?"
"I don't think there's anything we need to talk about."
Gu Ting's attitude did not relax, and he didn't even move.
Lan Shuang thought to herself: It’s really difficult.
She raised her hand to show him: "I didn't bring anything in. Your sister asked me to come. You know, she and I don't get along. She will definitely not leave any hidden dangers."
Hearing this, Gu Ting's expression softened slightly, "Did she ask you to come?"
Lan Shuang picked up the already decanted red wine on the table and poured it into a goblet. "Can we sit down and talk now?"
Gu Ting stared at her scrutinizingly for a moment, then he walked over condescendingly and sat down opposite her, but he did not touch the glass of red wine.
Lan Shuang didn't care. She picked up her glass and shook it. "Your sister really loves you as a brother. Even the wine here is your favorite."
Gu Ting's eyes fell on her hands. "What did she say to you? She always has these little temper tantrums that are really annoying. I'm sorry if this has had a bad influence on you."
