Chapter 28, Childhood Sweetheart



The barrage instantly became lively.

"Girls should also remember to eat dumplings. They are very thin, so don't try to lose weight."

"My sister is so flirty tonight."

"My sister is amazing. She's not nervous at all."

The host also smiled and made a gesture to invite Gu Wan to come in.

Xu Cheng had already followed behind and brought a shawl to Gu Wan. The weather was very cold at the moment and the inside was not very warm either.

Gu Wan was led by the staff to her seat. She had just made her debut this year, had two hit movies in her hands, and had also received a new script. Her future was promising. Her seat was not too far back, but not too far forward either. After all, it had to be more appropriate.

Chu Le didn't get the news either. She valued this award very much. If Gu Wan could win the Best Newcomer award, her future would only be easier.

Cen Chao also entered the inner venue. He has become more and more popular this year. After all, he is the male lead of the movie. His seat was in the row in front of Gu Wan. After sitting down, he turned around and greeted Gu Wan.

Gu Wan smiled and nodded.

When the live camera showed this scene, the CP fans in the barrage were already howling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm dead."

"They are such a good match. Just looking at each other and smiling makes my heart melt."

"I don't need to be in a relationship, but my partner must be sweet."

Cen Zhan looked at Gu Wan in the camera, but this year no one made dumplings for him abroad.

Cen Chao was talking in a low voice to the people sitting on both sides with a smile on his face.

Gu Wan looked at him and thought he looked like a normal person now, dressed in a suit and tie, with a limited edition watch on his wrist, probably worth the same as an apartment.

After Nan Jin came in, he first found Gu Wan and walked over to her to say hello, "I'm working on a script here, remember to give me some free time."

Gu Wan was flattered and stood up to thank him, "But I don't think I can do it in the near future."

Nan Jin gave her a look and said, "I know, it's Director Wang Shu's criminal investigation. It's okay, I still need a while to finish the script." After that, he hugged her and said, "You are very beautiful."

Gu Wan smiled shyly. Director Nan was also a talented director when she was young. After she got married, she stopped filming dramas and stayed at home to take care of her husband and children. Unfortunately, her husband cheated on her, and she realized how important her career was to her. However, capital never waits for anyone, and this movie proved herself.

The party started very quickly, with singers and actors singing and dancing. Halfway through the party, the best newcomer was announced.

Chu Le was very nervous standing backstage.

The senior on the stage is making an announcement.

"She played the ruthless Zuo Yiyi in 'Years and Years' and the forbearing Luo Qiao in 'That Spring'. With her superb acting skills, she showed us the versatility of actors. Some people are born to be actors, and she is Gu Wan."

Immediately afterwards, applause broke out from the audience.

Gu Wan stood up and bowed slightly, then walked towards the podium step by step, holding up the hem of her skirt. Until she put the trophy in her hands, this was just the beginning.

"Thank you all for your support and love. Thank you director. Gu Wan will work harder in the future."

Her speech was simple as always.

Gu Wan likes the feeling of the spotlight on herself.

Chu Le was so happy that he almost cried backstage. He was the first actor, and this was an easy win.

Gu Wan slowly walked down the stage and returned to her seat. Xu Cheng stood behind her and took the trophy.

Cen Chao turned around and looked at her, "Congratulations."

Cen Zhan opened his thin lips and said, "Congratulations."

What Chu Le didn't expect was that Gu Wan won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress awards in succession.

It immediately became a hot topic.

Gu Wan became the biggest winner tonight.

Cen Chao unexpectedly met Cen Yao backstage.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Cen Yao was invited as an investor, but he didn't show up at the scene. Instead, he went to a private room to discuss a cooperation. "Something's going on."

Cen Chao said "oh".

Cen Yao thought of something, "The person I sent didn't succeed, but he's still alive and has already started a company. He's very smart."

Cen Chao adjusted his cuffs and said, "So what?"

Cen Yao pushed his glasses and said, "If he is very smart, and he has no interest in the Cen family, I will not do it again. And if you can be half as smart as him, I won't be so busy." Businessmen will always choose the greatest benefits. It is always better to have one more friend than an opponent.

Cen Chao didn't feel stupid. "Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. A friend of mine won an award, so I'm going to congratulate him."

Cen Yao narrowed his eyes, "Gu Wan?"

Cen Chao nodded and said, "Brother, do you know her too?"

Cen Yao thought about what happened in the box just now. One of the bosses had said something ambiguous. Who wouldn't know what was going on?

"It's really beautiful, it's okay." He is a businessman and doesn't care about many things, not to mention that it is the Chu family's business.

Cen Chao suddenly looked at him suspiciously and said, "Brother, you don't have any other ideas, do you?" There is something wrong with this style.

Cen Yao looked at him as if he were a fool, turned around and left without saying a word. He still had business to discuss.

Gu Wan changed out of her dress backstage and returned it to the brand. She simply put on a sweater and wide-leg pants, wrapped herself in a gray coat, and put on a hat.

Xu Cheng straightened her dress.

Gu Wan came out of the bathroom and met a waiter.

"Ms. Gu, a lady named Chu said she wants to celebrate for you at 808."

When Gu Wan heard this, she didn't believe it. Chu Le would contact her directly if there was something. She guessed it was something fun, and it was indeed a long time since he had done anything.

"Okay, please lead the way."

Gu Wan turned on the recording on her phone and followed behind.

Cen Yao and his assistant passed by Gu Wan. Was it her?

Gu Wan entered the box and found no one there.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Gu."

The waiter said this and closed the door and left.

Gu Wan sat down generously.

A moment later, a man wearing glasses and with a beer belly that was almost bursting his suit pushed the door open. "Hello, Miss Gu, I'm the owner of Qinglong Culture. This is my business card."

Start when you hand out your business card.

Gu Wan stood up and smashed the wine glass on the table, then quickly put her hand on his neck. "Tell me, who asked you to come? Yu Ranran?"

The man didn't even notice when she moved her hands, or how the glass fragments got under his neck.

"Calm down, Gu Wan. If you offend me, you will be banned."

Gu Wan made a provocative sound and stabbed the glass shard in. Blood immediately flowed out. She deliberately avoided the aorta, then the dislocated arm and the leg that was about to break.

"If you don't tell me, you might end up without any descendants next time, okay?"

The man didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear, but cold sweat broke out on his head.

"I said, I said, it was Yu Ranran. She contacted me privately and told me that you are not expensive and it is easy to talk to me."

Gu Wan threw the glass fragments onto the floor, casually took out a tissue to wipe her hands, and then walked out leisurely.

Cen Yao thought that Cen Zhan and Gu Wan seemed to have a good relationship, and wanted to ask his assistant to go there, but after looking at the time, he got up from the box and went to 808.

The assistant was stunned when he opened the door.

Cen Yao sneered and said, "Let's go."

Gu Wan saved the recording. Yu Ranran must have encountered a lot of difficulties with Cen Zhan.

Cen Chao called Gu Wan.

"Where are you? I wanted to congratulate you."

"On the way home."

Gu Wan didn't say much to him and hung up the phone.

Cen Yao asked his assistant to call to confirm Cen Chao's location.

Cen Chao got in the car and saw his eldest brother, "What's wrong?"

Cen Yao briefly explained the situation to Cen Chao, "Gu Wan is not simple. Her actions were very sophisticated."

Cen Chao was shocked at first, then angry, "Brother, why didn't you help her when you were there?"

Cen Yao frowned slightly, "You like her." It was not a question, but a statement.

Cen Chao blinked in panic, "No, who likes her?"

Cen Yao took off his glasses and said, "If I want to marry her, I will do some research."

Cen Chao was silent. Did he like her? He was just admiring her. No other girl could fight like her. Her skills were truly amazing.

"Brother, she has someone she likes. Besides, I hate her. I don't like her at all."

Cen Yao didn't say anything else. There was no point in saying more.

"I'll do my research."

The next day, Gu Wan's information was placed on his desk. Everything about her was normal: she was an orphan, grew up with her grandmother, had good grades, but she knew Cen Zhan.

Cen Yao has always protected his younger brother since he was young, so he didn't send the information directly to him. "Call me, I want to see her."

The assistant was still a little confused. It was strange that the boss asked him to check an actress, let alone make an appointment with her.

Gu Wan was originally resting at home and reading a detective script. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and her grandmother lived here, where she met many people. Since she didn't have to work, she didn't have anything to worry about, and she felt much more energetic.

"Who?"

"Our President Cen wants to see you."

Gu Wan narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. It must be Cen Yao. Her information was probably on the desk now. "No." After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Cen Yao chuckled when he heard his assistant's reply, "It's okay."

Gu Wan sent a message to Chu Le, hoping he could help her find a reliable private detective.

Chu Le didn't ask the reason and agreed to help directly. Everyone has secrets, and she wouldn't ask as long as it was not related to their cooperation.

When Gu Wan gave the original owner a gift, it was also a gift for herself, after all, it was Yu Ranran who took action first.

Cen Chao obtained the information about Gu Wan that Cen Yao had investigated.

"The person she likes is Cen Zhan."

Cen Chao looked at the information in his hand, and it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe. At that moment, he remembered what Gu Wan said.

"He's abroad."

"He didn't like me anyway."

Looking at him, Cen Yao knew that he had fallen in love with Gu Wan. "Do you believe that she doesn't know about your relationship with Cen Zhan? Gu Wan is very scheming and cunning. You have been deceived by her."

Cen Chao took a deep breath and put the information on the table. "She shouldn't be lying to me. She said she has someone she likes."

Seeing him like this, Cen Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "You can just ask her directly."

Gu Wan spent the New Year very peacefully. She read scripts at home, accompanied her grandmother, and then sent a message to Cen Zhan, "Happy New Year, Cen Zhan, I really miss you."

The years go by quickly.

Xu Cheng came to pick up Gu Wan to join the group.

Gu Wan and Cen Chao, as the male and female protagonists, attended the opening ceremony.

Wang Shu takes this play very seriously.

"It's up to you."

Gu Wan could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Cen Chao. Thinking of the phone call from Cen Yao, she actually had no intention of conquering Cen Chao, but Yu Ranran was pestering Cen Zhan, so don't blame her for taking action.

"Cen Chao, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Cen Chao looked at Gu Wan with a complicated expression, then turned and left.

Gu Wan looked at his back, chuckled, and went to rest nearby.

The filming of "Detective" took three months, and when we came out of Hengdian, it was already spring.

In the past three months, Cen Chao had almost no communication with Gu Wan, except for filming.

Before leaving, Gu Wan prepared gifts for everyone and said, "Thank you, Director Wang, for your guidance over the past three months. I will work harder in the future."

Wang Shu treated Gu Wan like his own daughter. "You even prepared a gift for me. Thank you, Wanwan. You've been working hard these past three months. I'm sure you've been hurt a lot."

In this criminal investigation drama, the male and female protagonists have to go through a lot of hardships, and getting injured is a common occurrence.

Gu Wan pursed her lips and shook her head, "These are all necessary for being an actor."

Wang Shu was really satisfied with Gu Wan. It was a pity that such an outstanding girl was not his own daughter. In all his years in the entertainment industry, he rarely met such people.

"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact me. It's not easy for you to be alone."

Gu Wan smiled and sighed, "Then I would like to thank Director Wang first."

After separating from Director Wang, Xu Cheng gave the phone to Gu Wan.

Gu Wan selected a few wrap-up photos and posted them on Weibo, captioning, "Yu Yu, goodbye."

The fans have waited for so long and finally saw Gu Wan’s Weibo.

"It's been three months. Do you know how I've been doing?"

"Girl goose, girl goose, girl goose, ahhhhhhhh."

Gu Wan replied to a few messages and then saw the WeChat message sent by Cen Chao.

"There's something going on at the coffee shop on Zuolin Road."

Gu Wan asked Xu Cheng to go back to the hotel to pack her luggage. She put on a mask and glasses and walked to a coffee shop near Hengdian.

Cen Chao is alone.

Gu Wan looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Cen Chao frowned, "Do you know Cen Zhan?"

Gu Wan's movements froze for a moment. "You're investigating me?"

Cen Chao didn't have much to say. He and Cen Zhan had never met before, but the resentment between them was too deep. "Cen Zhan is my half-brother."

Gu Wan looked at the pattern made on the coffee and said, "I know. The Cen family is so famous, who doesn't know it?"

Cen Chao tightened his grip on the coffee, "Then why don't you approach me?"

Gu Wan smiled bitterly, "Close to you? Mr. Cen thinks too highly of himself. I joined the circle unintentionally. If nothing else, I'll leave first." After saying that, she picked up the mask and stood up. She had casually tied her hair into a low bun today, which was convenient for wearing a hat.

Cen Chao reacted immediately and pinched his fingers, "Gu Wan, I'm sorry."

Gu Wan picked up her phone and swiped it a few times. "It has been deleted, Mr. Cen. We don't need to contact each other in the future. Also, I don't like others investigating me." After that, she left the private room.

Cen Chao stood there in a daze. Indeed, there was no reason for Gu Wan to approach him. It was obvious that Ran Ran had told him that Cen Zhan had a childhood sweetheart. It turned out that everything had a traceable cause.

Gu Wan was in a good mood when she left the coffee shop. She bought two pancakes and two servings of cold noodles at a roadside stall, each with two eggs.

Xu Cheng has almost packed his luggage.

Gu Wan handed her what she had bought, "One for each of us."

Xu Cheng has been accompanying Gu Wan for some time and has gotten to know her a little bit. She seems quiet and usually seems quiet when she is alone, but she is easier to talk to than anyone else.

"Thank you, Sister Gu Wan."

Gu Wan had corrected her before and asked her not to call him sister, but she insisted and there was nothing she could do.

"You've been with me for the past three months and haven't had any vacation. You can rest tomorrow."

Xu Cheng actually didn't feel tired. She had seen other assistants on the crew doing a lot of work. She just accompanied Gu Wan to work every day, and Gu Wan did a lot of things by herself.

"Sister Gu Wan, if you have anything, please call me anytime."

Gu Wan nodded, "Rest assured."

Qingming Festival is coming soon, and Gu Wan wants to take her grandmother back to burn paper, as the mine disaster is a big problem.

Chu Le knew that Gu Wan had finished filming today, so he called her specially.

"The studio has a new batch of scripts piled up. Can you come back and pick one?"

After finishing her meal, Gu Wan casually collected the trash and said, "Chu Le, I won't choose for now. I'll wait for Director Nan to find me."

Chu Le looked at the table full of scripts and heard what her own artists said. She felt that her agent was working for nothing. "Director Nan Jin? Sure. I heard she has a script and there are a lot of actors who want to star in it."

Xu Cheng packed the suitcase and signaled Gu Wan that she could leave.

Gu Wan walked with the phone in hand and said, "During the award ceremony, Director Nan came to me and told me to take some time off."

Chu Le felt excited when she heard this. She should go sign a new artist. Gu Wan made her feel very frustrated.

"Okay, do you have any plans during this time?"

Gu Wan nodded and said, "I'm going to buy a house with grandma first, and then I'll go home to burn paper for Qingming Festival."

Chu Le knew that Gu Wan lost both her parents when she was young, and he felt sorry for her. "Okay, do you have a good neighborhood for that house?"

"Not yet, but there's no rush." Gu Wan wanted to ask her grandmother which one she liked.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Le was stunned for a while, then called his uncle.

"What's up?"

Chu Le guessed from the other party's tone that he was in a good mood, "Uncle, I remember the company's latest new property is very good, can you give me one?"

Chu Yuan snorted, "You're asking for a house right away, are you really that capable?"

Chu Le laughed awkwardly. "Uncle, you're not short of money. This house was given to me by that artist. You know, Gu Wan. She saved up money to buy a house for her grandmother. I didn't do anything for her, but I just took her share. How embarrassing."

Chu Yuan didn't hear any embarrassment in her. "Okay, I'll let Assistant Xu do it."

Although Chu Le also has the surname Chu, she is actually the daughter of Chu Yuan's eldest sister. Chu Yuan's eldest sister died in a car accident in her early years, and she was taken back to the Chu family. Because she is only four or five years younger than Chu Yuan, she has been clinging to Chu Yuan since she was a child.

The Chu family was taken over by Chu Yuancheng when he was a child. It has developed rapidly in recent years and its industries have been designed into various fields. However, Chu Yuan himself is very low-key and few people have seen him.

Chu Le received Assistant Xu's floor plan and detailed information about the house shortly after. She forwarded it to Gu Wan, "This is a gift from me to you. We've known each other for so long, I can't just take your share for nothing."

Gu Wan sat in the car, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She was borrowing the Chu family's background. "Thank you. I'll deduct it from my future share."

Chu Le knew that she would not accept it directly, "Then half, just give me half of the house price."

Gu Wan didn't refuse. Their relationship didn't have to be like this.

Shen Xiujuan was particularly happy to see Gu Wan come back. She had just come back from the supermarket with a refrigerator full of vegetables. "Xiao Xu, don't leave either. Grandma will make you something delicious."

Gu Wan changed into her pajamas first. "Xu Cheng, let's eat together at home. It will be late if you go back."

Xu Cheng nodded, then took the initiative to accompany him to the kitchen.

When Gu Wan was about to take a shower, she saw a text message on her phone. It only had three words on it: I'm sorry.

She stood up and went to the bathroom. "Sorry" are the three most useless words in this world.

Cen Chao didn't know what he felt, he just felt a pain in his heart every time he breathed. The cold and resolute look in Gu Wan's eyes when she left made him feel frustrated and guilty.

After taking a shower, Gu Wan came out to help in the kitchen. Xu Cheng was very much liked by Shen Xiujuan, and the two of them talked and laughed.

Gu Wan didn't talk much and just sat on a mat picking vegetables.

The meal was very heartwarming.

During the Qingming Festival, Gu Wan took Shen Xiujuan back to burn paper.

Shen Xiujuan looked at the tombstone and said, "Don't worry, I'm doing well now, and Wanwan is doing well too. She's just too tired, but these are all things she loves."

Gu Wan couldn't feel this emotion and could only burn paper silently beside her.

I sent a message to Cen Zhan in the evening.

"Today is Qingming Festival. I went back to my hometown to visit my parents and burnt paper for my aunt. When will you be back?"

After returning to Haicheng, Gu Wan received the house title deed mailed by Chu Le.

Gu Wan took a photo and went over. "So soon, I haven't even been there yet?"

Chu Le was having dinner at home. "It's not difficult to do. If you have time, go and take a look. I'll send you the door code. It's fully furnished inside."

Chu Yuan looked at her texting on her phone and coughed, "Eat."

Chu Le said "oh" and put down the phone silently, "Uncle, my artist is very promising and beautiful."

Chu Yuan didn't even look up, "Let me ask you, your studio was not established with the help of the Chu Group, and it looks shabby and poor, so why would you sign an artist to you?"

Chu Le suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was no longer fragrant. "Uncle, are you a black heart? Gu Wan told me that she had done some research and comparisons. Although those companies are large, they are very chaotic. She needs a simple environment and is not afraid of hardship or difficulty."

Chu Yuan glanced at her and said nothing more.

Chu Le believed in Gu Wan anyway. Even if she knew his identity, so what? Gu Wan had never done anything to let him down. On the contrary, he had always relied on her.

"Uncle, don't be too businessman, otherwise you will easily lose friends." It sounded very sincere.

Gu Wan chose a good day and found a moving company. Now she had her first house.

Shen Xiujuan felt that this house was too big. They had previously rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, but now this one has four bedrooms.

"It's okay, grandma. I'll hire a live-in auntie. I'm worried about you being alone at home. You need someone to take care of you."

The best thing about Shen Xiujuan is that she accepts all arrangements. She knows that she is getting older and if she gets sick, Gu Wanmang will not be around. It is a good thing for her to do so.

"Okay, you'll be the boss."

Gu Wan rested at home for a month and received a call from Nan Jin, asking for a face-to-face meeting.

Gu Wan packed up simply and took a taxi there.

The script that Nan Jin prepared this time is a martial arts drama, and it is a drama with a strong female lead.

This is the first time that Gu Wan plays the leading female role.

"Director Nan, let me take a look at the script first."

Nan Jin poured her a cup of tea and said, "Take it back and have a look. You can always communicate with me for details."

Gu Wan was very interested, and she also wanted to see what the heroine in this drama was like.

foreign.

Cen Zhan was attacked by a wooden cannon, and Yu Ranran blocked a wooden cannon to save him.

Yu Ranran has already entered the emergency room.

The author has something to say:
