Gu Cheng's agent at the time, Sister Meng, must have been involved in some underhanded dealings, and was the biggest driving force and facilitator of the misunderstandings between them.
However, the reason she was able to successfully disrupt things was largely due to some existing problems between Gu Cheng and Yao Anna, which gave her the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.
"No!
You now know Lin Ruolin's identity.
She was the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Because she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, the Lin family doted on her and had no intention of opposing her. They invested in her new drama so that she could debut through that drama.
Since I was cast as the male lead at that time, she said she wanted to meet me to get to know each other, which would also make the subsequent filming work proceed more smoothly.
I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I just agreed!
But I never imagined that it was a trap set by Sister Meng.
"It's an open secret that Lin Ruolin likes you! Back then, the CP (couple pairing) between you two was all the rage, and even now, there's still a CP supertopic for you two!"
Yao Anna didn't speak, but Hu Da, who was next to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud while holding her teacup: "If what you're saying is true, then why have you remained silent about this matter all these years?!"
Hu Da's words immediately silenced Gu Cheng, who had been speaking eloquently just moments before.
He really couldn't explain this.
After the incident, Sister Meng did admit that Lin Ruolin liked him, and that the biggest reason she wanted to enter the entertainment industry was because she wanted to be with him.
At that time, Lin Ruolin approached Sister Meng, hoping that Sister Meng could become her agent. She could provide the financial resources and manpower that the Lin family could offer, and all Sister Meng had to do was help her become his girlfriend.
“I admit that I am indeed incompetent in this respect.”
Gu Cheng lowered his head and honestly acknowledged Hu Da's doubts.
He could try to break away from his original agency and Sister Meng, and start his career at a new company, but that's all he can do.
Although to outsiders he has countless fans and is a star in the eyes of millions, the focus of the spotlight; but in the face of the Lin family's capital, this is nothing.
His current agency allows him to engage in minor acts of resistance, but if the resistance exceeds the agency's expectations and causes trouble for the company, then obviously, the company will not hesitate to abandon him.
Therefore, whether he is being targeted or being used for publicity, the only thing he can do is ignore it and not cooperate. However, he cannot bring this matter to light.
"Okay, I understand what you're saying."
Yao Anna nodded. She glanced at the time on her phone, and when she looked up at Gu Cheng, her gaze no longer held the previous hostility. However, precisely because she no longer felt that hostility, her gaze towards Gu Cheng was exceptionally calm.
It was so bland, it was as if I were looking at a stranger.
"So, is there anything else you want to say?!"
"Anna, can we still be together?!" Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while before suddenly standing up. This abrupt movement startled Yao Anna, who was completely unprepared.
However, what he said at this moment clearly took Yao Anna by surprise. She stared at Gu Cheng blankly for a while before finally saying, "Are you crazy?!"
"I'm not crazy, I'm serious. I haven't squandered any of the money I've earned over the years. Apart from investments, I've saved everything else! I've also bought properties, one in Beijing and one in Shanghai!"
We'll stay wherever you want, whatever you say!
Yes, and also, there are rings. I bought the wedding rings a long time ago! It's not the pair I prepared before. Over the years, whenever I see a nicer pair, I change them. I've changed quite a few pairs. I'll take them all out for you to choose from. Whichever pair you like, we'll use that pair.
Anna, I really didn't betray you.
Never, not even once!
Please believe me, please believe me!
Perhaps it was because his long-held thoughts and feelings had finally found an outlet, and he seemed afraid that if he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance to speak, so he spoke very quickly, sounding excited and eager.
However, Yao Anna stared at him for a while before slowly shaking her head: "I'm sorry, I just want to focus on my career right now and don't want to talk about relationships."
"Then, can you give me a chance to pursue you?!" After his earlier excitement, Gu Cheng had clearly calmed down by now.
He looked at Yao Anna and decided to settle for second best.
This time, being able to meet Yao Anna and have a clear talk with her was already a huge step forward for him. He couldn't rush things and had to stay calm.
Yao Anna was somewhat surprised that Gu Cheng would be so insistent on this matter. She frowned and looked at Gu Cheng with some doubt: "Now, you have no shortage of people around you who like you, whether they are female celebrities or anyone else!"
I don't think you need to cling to me like this.
So many years have passed, and we are no longer the same people we used to be!
What's past is past, let's all look forward.
Although there was no outward sign of anything amiss, Yao Anna knew perfectly well that her heart was in turmoil.
