Gu Yan asked, "Hey, what exactly do you like about Lu Zhengye? He doesn't seem to have anything good about him."
Lin Yusheng crossed her arms and said, "If he weren't good, why would you keep trying to trick me into talking?"
"What did I ask you to say?" Gu Yanting asked anxiously, jumping up and down.
It seems to make sense.
But Lin Yusheng didn't believe him at all. After all, he was a movie star, and every reaction he made was just what he wanted others to see.
Lin Yusheng calmly looked at her phone and said slowly, "Testing me, trying to see if I really like Lu Zhengye."
Gu Yanting, “…”
"What, I guessed right?" Lin Yusheng smiled.
Gu Yan stopped pretending and said, "I didn't expect you to have such strong insight."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Gu Yan listened, “But you’re wrong about one thing. I didn’t help Lu Zhengye because I thought he was good. With that stinky face of his, if I could beat him, I would have knocked him down.”
"Protecting him is just an order from my grandfather."
Lin Yusheng became curious, "But as far as I know, Young Master Gu's foray into the entertainment industry and his big fuss with Old Master Gu and President Gu don't seem like the kind of person who would listen to them."
This is no secret at all.
Gu Yanting wasn't surprised at all that Lin Yusheng knew.
“I protect Lu Zhengye because he needs to carry on the Gu family line. That way, the old men will be able to accept Ji Huai.”
The Gu family now has three generations living together. Old Master Lu, Gu Muchen, has a son and a daughter. Old Madam Gu passed away early.
The eldest son, Gu Yiwei, had a son, Gu Yanting, with his wife. The second daughter, Gu Wanxing, disappeared after graduation.
Lin Yusheng: "Can I hear your story with Ji Huai?"
"Of course you can."
Lin Yusheng's eyes lit up. Influenced by the fujoshi Shen Yishu, she had recently become obsessed with novels featuring two male protagonists.
Every time I read the novel, I picture Gu Yanting and Ji Huai's faces.
She had wanted to hear their story for a long time, but she hadn't dared to ask when Ji Huai was around. Today, however, Ji Huai wasn't there.
Lin Yusheng shook Bai Ning and Pei Shushu over, ready to "listen attentively".
Gu Yan laughed upon hearing this, his deep white teeth revealing a wicked air.
林妤笙龇着的大牙收了回来，果然，顾砚听欠揍的说：“有个条件，你把你和陆峥野的爱情故事也分享给我。”
"goodbye."
Lin Yusheng turned her attention back to her phone, too lazy to pay attention to this person.
Pei Shushu felt like she'd been doused with cold water, and she couldn't even manage a smile in front of her idol.
Gu Yanting's prank succeeded, and he burst into laughter.
Lin Yusheng rolled her eyes at him. "Childish."
Yu Guangzhong caught a glimpse of a pale green figure, and Lin Yusheng had an idea.
Only a few of them are here; the rest are busy far away.
So she didn't need to lower her voice deliberately. "Gu Yanting, I think you're blind. That man who just passed by is nowhere near as good-looking as Assistant Ji. You should go see an eye doctor sometime."
Lin Yusheng's acting was also excellent; her expressions and tone were full of shock and disgust.
Gu Yan was taken aback at first, and then felt a cold gaze fall on him.
Upon seeing the shrewdness in Lin Yusheng's eyes, he froze instantly, only two words echoing in his mind: It's over!!!
Having spent so much time with Lin Yusheng, Pei Shushu instantly understood what Lin Yusheng meant.
She fanned the flames, her tone slightly angry, "Exactly, Actor Gu is eating what he has while eyeing what he doesn't; he's far too much of a womanizer. What if Assistant Ji finds out..."
Pei Shushu's voice stopped abruptly. Her gaze fell on a spot not far behind Gu Yanting, and she stammered, "Assistant Ji."
She had actually seen Ji Huai a long time ago, which is why she cooperated with Lin Yusheng's performance.
However, her acting was really a bit exaggerated, and Lin Yusheng could only hold back her laughter.
Gu Yan panicked and hurriedly turned around, only to see Ji Huai standing not far behind him with an indifferent expression.
He turned around and glared at Lin Yusheng. "I'm really impressed with you. This trick always works, doesn't it?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Ji Huai couldn't see her face, Lin Yusheng blinked brazenly, "You should think about how to coax him."
"I wonder if boys are easier to coax than girls."
Gu Yanting was both angry and helpless; she and Lu Zhengye were his nemesis.
He got up and chased after Ji Huai.
Lin Yusheng waved goodbye behind his back with a gloating expression.
*
11:00 PM.
The lights were still on in the president's office of Lushan Group, where Lu Zhengye and Wei Qing were still processing documents.
At that moment, a message notification sound came from WeChat on my phone.
Lin Yu-sheng: "I've finished filming and can go home after removing my makeup. I hope you'll already be there before I get home."
Lu Zhengye has been working overtime until very late lately, so Lin Yusheng had no choice but to give him orders.
He smiled indulgently and was about to reply to the message when Gu Yanting called.
He frowned, hung up immediately, and then returned to the WeChat page to reply to the message.
Lu Zhengye: "Okay, be careful."
As soon as the message was sent, Gu Yanting called again.
This time, Lu Zhengye answered the call.
Gu Yan asked accusingly, "Why did you hang up on me?"
"Reply to my girlfriend's message."
Gu Yan heard, "...So what if you have a girlfriend?"
"Um."
Gu Yan was speechless.
Lu Zhengye. "Get to the point, or I'm hanging up."
"Yes, can you keep an eye on your girlfriend in the future? I took a taxi home alone again tonight, and Ji Huai has blocked my number."
