Lin Ruolin's madness actually calmed Gu Cheng down.
He looked at Lin Ruolin and suddenly burst out laughing: "Is this all you can do for me?!"
Lin Ruolin, I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, all these years you've been harassing me, and all I've ever done is give in and compromise, just so as not to affect my current career in the entertainment industry.
But what if I don't care at all?!
You should know that I have always maintained a clean and upright conduct and have never done anything illegal or disorderly. Therefore, your attempt to smear me is nothing more than using baseless tactics!
All of this is built on deception and framing, and it is not a very complicated thing to overturn it.
Besides, what if I completely disregard my future career in the entertainment industry?!
What are you going to use to control me?!
When the things that had once worried him the most were no longer obstacles, Gu Cheng suddenly felt that everything before him became clear.
At worst, he could simply leave the entertainment industry altogether. With his current savings, he could move to a small or medium-sized city, buy a house, and open a small shop, which would be more than enough for him and Yao Anna to live on for the rest of their lives.
So after figuring all this out, Gu Cheng was completely at peace with himself.
He looked at Lin Ruolin with an expression that said, "Do whatever you want, I don't care."
Lin Ruolin was clearly taken aback by Gu Cheng's sudden change in attitude, becoming so unrestrained. Now, she was at a loss for what to do.
After all, just as Gu Cheng said, if he really announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, then she really wouldn't have any way to control him anymore.
The world is vast, and the Lin family can't actually control everything as she claims.
Therefore, if Gu Cheng wanted to, he could indeed disappear from her sight without leaving a trace!
Of course, it is possible to find his whereabouts using certain methods, but to use these methods, it is necessary to utilize the Lin family's connections.
However, Lin's elders and brothers did not approve of her being with Gu Cheng. If Gu Cheng really left her now, they would definitely be happy to see it happen.
"I won't allow it!"
Lin Ruolin cried out excitedly, staring at Gu Cheng through gritted teeth: "Have you forgotten how much you've sacrificed to get to where you are today?!"
Have you thought about your fans before you say you're giving up?!
And all those endorsements you've taken on—if you were to retire from the entertainment industry now, could you afford the breach of contract fees and such?!
It must be said that what Lin Ruolin said was indeed some of the concerns Gu Cheng had previously had. It was precisely because of these concerns that he had been threatened by Lin Ruolin all these years. Even though he hated her so much, he had no choice but to patiently and try his best to deal with her.
But as soon as he made these decisions, all the pressure he had been under vanished without a trace, as if it had been released from its grip. At this moment, he felt more relaxed and at ease than ever before, both in his mind and in his mood.
"Don't worry, I've actually been considering and trying to avoid these things all along."
All the endorsement contracts I signed were for a one-year term. If I decide to retire from the entertainment industry now, I will not renew any of my endorsement contracts for next year.
As for the fans, although I am also sorry for leaving so hastily and suddenly, I have thought about it and if I continue to stay and be coerced and controlled by you, I might as well just leave the industry cleanly.
Lin Ruolin, you know I've never liked you.
From the very first day you met me and told me your thoughts, I rejected you decisively!
So don't even think about any crazy ideas, like spreading rumors that Anna was a homewrecker. I still have all the evidence of our past relationship!
"I'll see then who dies a more gruesome death!"
Gu Cheng spoke in a very relaxed tone, and later he even seemed to have the confidence to threaten Lin Ruolin.
After saying this, he didn't linger any longer. He turned around and left without looking back, leaving Lin Ruolin standing there alone with a look of resentment and anger on her face. She stared at his back, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails pierced her palms, drawing blood without her even realizing it.
Neither of them noticed that while they were talking, a sparrow was perched on a treetop not far away, waiting for them to disperse. The sparrow flapped its wings and flew back to Song Mengmeng's side, landing on her shoulder and chirping as if describing something. Song Mengmeng seemed to understand, nodding repeatedly with a smile.
The sparrow chattered on for a while before flapping its wings to end the conversation. Song Mengmeng generously took out a small bag from her pocket, poured out a handful of millet, and placed it on the table for the sparrow to peck at.
"You can't actually understand what it's saying, can you?!"
Holding her water glass, Yao Anna watched the communication between the person and the bird and found it amusing. Although she knew that Song Mengmeng was very clever, she thought she couldn't possibly be so clever as to understand even a sparrow's speech!
"Yes, I asked it to keep an eye on Lin Ruolin and Gu Cheng's situation. It just came over from there and told me that Gu Cheng and Lin Ruolin had a fight, and it was a really fierce one."
As Song Mengmeng spoke, she simply recounted what Sparrow had overheard to Yao Anna, and then said, "In the past, it was Lin Ruolin who accurately grasped Gu Cheng's weakness, which is why he had to swallow his anger for so many years!"
