Chapter 64 Bracelet
Thunderstorms aren't common in Beijing, but they last a long time. Wen Chu came out, brushing her hair. The thunder made the lights in the house seem to flicker.
She curled up on the sofa, rubbed her hair, and turned on the TV to let the sound block out some of the thunder. She picked up the script and wanted to read it, but she didn't really concentrate.
Lightning struck the window behind him. Wen Chu had no choice but to put down the script and quickly dry his hair with a hair dryer.
The phone rang on the coffee table.
Han Fei sent her a message: It’s raining, are you back to the hotel?
Wen Chu freed one hand and replied: I'm back.
Han Fei: Are you afraid?
Wen Chu paused and replied: Don’t be afraid, I’m watching TV.
Han Fei: Really?
Wen Chu: Yeah.
Han Fei hesitated for a few seconds and sent another message to her: Should I go over?
Wen Chu was a little surprised and asked: Do you have a job here?
It was quiet over there on Han Fei's side.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Wen Chu put down her phone. She didn't want to delve into what he meant. She glanced at the TV. It was the drama "Feng Yue Wan" that she and Jiang Ran starred in. It was obviously not long ago, but it seemed like half a century had passed. She now had two TV series and a movie, and would soon join a new crew to shoot a new story.
My hair was not completely dry, and lightning flashed outside the window one after another.
Wen Chu wanted to hide under the quilt, so she unplugged the hair dryer, turned off the TV, and got up to go into the house.
Xi Ning was meeting an editor in Hong Kong at the time. It was raining there too. She sat and talked with the editor, both of them holding cigarettes in their hands. She looked at the rain outside the window.
Send a message to Wen Chu: Thunderstorm in Beijing?
Wen Chu lifted the quilt: Yes.
Xi Ning: Lie down quickly.
Wen Chu: I’m about to lie down. How long will you stay in Hong Kong?
Xi Ning: I will go back the day after tomorrow.
Wen Chu: Oh.
The two chatted briefly, but Wen Chu didn't reply. She turned off the brightest light in the room and pulled the covers over her head to sleep. She was afraid of this kind of extreme weather. For four years, it hadn't been that bad, because someone had been there to comfort her. But this past year, it had become more serious. Status, money, the spotlight—in this kind of weather, it didn't give her a sense of security.
Wen Chu was thinking randomly.
But also over and over again...
She would be woken up just after falling asleep... This repeated process made her mind a mess. She wondered why this bad weather had not passed yet, and some confusing images flashed through her mind in a trance.
At this time.
The doorbell rang.
Wen Chu felt dizzy and stood up to open the door.
Outside the door, a tall man stood there, with a few drops of water on his brows and his black shirt a little loose. He held a suit jacket with one hand, and there was a cold air on his body. He looked at her deeply in his eyes.
Asked: "Are you still afraid of thunderstorms?"
Wen Chu was a little upset by these words. She felt like she was dreaming. The misty scene in her dream merged with the man in front of her. She said, "Wait."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"What?"
She didn't answer the question.
Wen Chu turned around, went back to the room, picked up his phone, went back to the door, clicked on his profile picture, and transferred some money.
A beep.
Gu Cheng picked up his phone and took a look. He raised his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
The rumbling thunder and lightning seemed to strike from the window all the way to the door. Wen Chu looked at him quietly: "What do you mean?"
Gu Cheng showed it to her.
"I'll take it. Then what? I'll go into the house?"
Wen Chu: "Let me explain it more clearly."
"Whore you."
Gu Cheng clenched his phone tightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just say it directly."
Wen Chu retreated.
He came in.
He closed the door and put his coat on the entrance. Wen Chu leaned against the entrance cabinet, and Gu Cheng supported his hand on her side, looking at her for a few seconds. Wen Chu was straightforward and hooked her arm around his neck. Gu Cheng paused, lowered his head and blocked her lips. He hesitated to ask or not, but swallowed the words back in his throat.
He didn't dare ask.
Just don't ask.
He wants to ask, are you thinking about the past?
Every time it rains, you are more enthusiastic and proactive than before. In the end, he didn't ask, which she probably didn't want to recall.
When his sins were at their worst.
She is afraid.
He would accompany her until she was no longer afraid.
He held her waist and sucked her lips, blocking out all the lights and the sound of the thunder and rain. Wen Chu hugged him tightly.
Tighten it hard.
Gu Cheng could only find time to unbutton his shirt with one hand.
He put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Go to the room."
Wen Chu hooked her arm around his neck tightly: "Anywhere is fine."
Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
Later, at her initiative, he picked her up at the entrance. Wen Chu took a deep breath and buried her head in his neck. Gu Cheng whispered, "This will hurt you."
"Don't talk nonsense," she said.
Gu Cheng: “….”
OK.
Later, he did it once at the entrance, once on the sofa, and finally for a longer time in the room, until the sky turned white, the thunderstorm passed, and Wen Chu was soaked.
She didn't forget to push him and said, "Get out of here, Zhu Ru will be here soon."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and kissed her neck: "Okay. I'll leave now."
Wen Chu: "Close the door."
"What would you like for breakfast?" he asked.
Wen Chu lay on the pillow, dazed and didn't respond to him, his attitude was telling him to get out.
Gu Cheng: “….”
He buttoned his shirt, straightened himself up, and seeing that she was really asleep this time, he leaned over and kissed her face. After a few seconds, he left. A cold bracelet with lotion on it fell into her hand. Gu Cheng wiped the lotion on her, then he got up and left.
The living room outside is messy.
He cleaned up the place and soon the door closed.
An hour later, Zhu Ru came to open the door with breakfast. She had been working all night and had dark circles under her eyes. She didn't pay much attention to anything. After entering, she opened the curtains to let some light in. She looked at the living room and found it quite clean. Did Wen Chu clean up and go to bed last night?
She walked into the master bedroom and called Wen Chu.
Wen Chu was sound asleep, and when she was called awake, she woke up immediately. She could only sleep for a while, as there was a script reading later. When she woke up, Zhu Ru muttered, "Did you go out for supper with Li Yuaner and the others last night? Someone took a picture of you..."
Zhu Ru turned around and saw Wen Chu naked, with many red marks below his neck.
Zhu Ru's throat felt like it was being strangled. "What's going on?"
Wen Chu tossed and turned all night and only slept for more than an hour. She was drowsy. Seeing Zhu Ru's reaction, she pulled the quilt over her and yawned: "I forgot to wear pajamas."
"No! Someone is coming, right? Mr. Gu?" Zhu Ru asked as she sat down beside the bed.
Wen Chu nodded.
Zhu Ru saw her nod and understood in her heart. Then her eyes fell on her wrist and did not move away. The bracelet with beautiful color like green mountains was worn on Wen Chu's hand.
Wen Chu also felt something at this time, and she raised her hand.
Saw the imperial green bracelet.
Zhu Ru: "Sixteen million, and it looks like this? No wonder...it's so expensive. Did you accept it?"
Wen Chu looked at the bracelet. The quality of the bracelet was better than the one he had given her before. It was so beautiful that it left him speechless. Wen Chu put down his wrist and tried to take it out.
She said, “I didn’t take it.”
Zhu Ru was surprised: "Did he put that on you when you were doing it last night?"
Wen Chu said calmly, "He took advantage of someone's misfortune."
Zhu Ru coughed and said, "I can't even imagine it. He took the opportunity to put it on you while you were doing it. You were unconscious at the time, so you probably didn't react."
Wen Chu rolled his eyes and pulled a few times.
Unsuccessful extraction.
Zhu Ru actually knew how to do it, but when she saw Wen Chuyi, she didn't think of it, so she didn't remind her.
At this time.
The doorbell rang again.
Zhu Ru said, "Hurry up and get dressed, because we're going to have a reading session at nine o'clock."
Wen Chu looked at the time on the bedside table.
I quickly got out of bed, went to get my clothes, put them on, washed, brushed my teeth, and fixed my hair. Then I went out again. Zhu Ru just closed the door. She showed Wen Chu the breakfast and said, "Li Qian sent it."
"Breakfast made especially for you."
Wen Chu paused.
After putting down both breakfasts, Wen Chu and Zhu Ru sat down to eat. At 7:00, three stylists arrived to put makeup on Wen Chu. At 8:00, Wen Chu left. Zhu Ru yawned violently in the car. Wen Chu glanced at her and said, "Wait a minute while I'm doing the reading. Why don't you get some sleep? You were working on the report so late last night?"
Zhu Ru nodded: "Yes, there are meetings and report writing."
Qimeng has several old actors who want to retire. They are all Zhu Ru's subordinates. They are currently discussing contract issues. Qimeng is now considered a wealthy company.
With the support of Wen Chu and several old actors who invested in Qimeng, I have some money now, so I want to take a rest and lie down.
Zhu Ru said, "Last night the boss was hesitating whether to sign more actors, but good actors are too hard to find right now."
Wen Chu said, "Go to the Film and Television Academy?"
Zhu Ru shook her head. "You don't know, the kids in film and television academies these days are all so arrogant and proud. They don't think highly of companies like ours. Besides, Xinghe is currently working on a star-making project, promoting boy bands and girl bands... They're all heading there and won't come to Qimeng at all."
Wen Chu listened and said, "It does sound difficult."
"That's right."
They just arrived at the reading scene, and there were fans waiting outside. Zhu Ru tidied Wen Chu's hair and then opened the door. Before getting off the car, Wen Chu noticed the bracelet on her wrist. In addition to the two hot searches last night, she squeezed hand cream, took off the bracelet before getting off the car, put it in her bag, and then greeted the fans.
"Good morning, Chuchu."
"Chuchu is so beautiful."
"Chuchu, be careful of the puddles under your feet."

Gu Cheng rushed back to Beijing overnight. The weather was fine when his private plane took off, but thunder and lightning roared as it was about to land. Fortunately, he made the decision early and had Li Qian reserve and report the route in advance. After leaving Wenchu Hotel early in the morning, he had to return to Hai City.
Before going to the airport, he went back to the company to handle some important matters.
Old Master Gu was strolling around the company early in the morning. Seeing him, he snorted coldly: "Such an urgent matter, you just left it behind like that. Is she touched by your rushing back like this?"
Gu Cheng picked up the pen and signed, ignoring Old Man Gu.
Mr. Gu continued to linger beside the table: "I guess you weren't touched, otherwise you wouldn't show up at the company so early..."
Several senior executives felt a headache when they saw the gossipy old man.
This is Mr. Gu.
If it were anyone else, Mr. Gu would have kicked them out long ago.
Mr. Gu tapped his phone and said, "Your mother called and asked me why you came back. Was it because of that woman? I didn't know how to answer."
Gu Cheng closed the pen cap.
He glanced at the two new assistants beside him.
The two new assistants hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and supported Mr. Gu on both sides: "Old man, the company just joined Maojian, you come and try it."
"Why are you drinking Maojian so early in the morning? Put me down!" Old Master Gu raised his eyebrows angrily.
The two of them quickly "invited" him out.
Gu Cheng finally had some peace and quiet here, so he said to them, "Send the information to my email address, and I'll get back to you tonight."
"yes."
Gu Cheng grabbed his coat and left.
They watched Gu Cheng, dusty and exhausted, leave as quickly as he arrived. The driver drove the car over and took Gu Cheng to the airport, while Li Qian sorted out the documents in the car.
It just happened to be pushed by Weibo fans.
He clicked it and took a look.
It was a video of Miss Wen greeting her fans, which was just posted this morning. He looked at it carefully and did not see the bracelet on Miss Wen's wrist.
He paused and looked at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng is reading emails.
Li Qian hesitated and said, "Mr. Gu, you gave Miss Wen the bracelet, right?"
Gu Cheng's fingertips paused, he looked up, and Li Qian showed it to him: "She didn't wear it today."
Gu Cheng looked at her raised hand, which was also the one he wore, empty.
Li Qian asked carefully, "Did you take it down? Or did you not send it out?"
Gu Cheng: “….”
He glared at her.
Li Qian: “…”
That means it was given away, but she didn't wear it, or Mr. Gu put it on her and Miss Wen took it off herself.
Why.
A few minutes later.
Gu Cheng said: "Send her a message and tell her... not to wear this, but to wear something else."
Li Qian: "Okay."
Mr. Gu is still very worried about Miss Wen.
He has never been superstitious, but this time...
