Chapter 96: The Supporting Actress Whose Work Was Stealthed by Her Sister
Chen Shao looked at the information scattered in front of him. It turned out that this was how she had lived for the past five years. She had no heart at all. She took every step so firmly that she probably didn't even think about herself.
The phone rings.
Shen Shao answered the call.
Gu Jingjing's tone didn't sound very good.
"Gu Wan didn't even come back for dinner, saying she was too busy. Chen Shao, we've known each other for so many years, and I didn't realize you were still so devoted and thinking about her for so many years."
The year she had a falling out with Jiang Yue, after returning abroad, she was not paying attention during a rehearsal and missed a step, thus losing her qualification to be the leading role. She had not been outstanding in the troupe in recent years, not to mention that some very outstanding people were selected every year. She had already lost her best opportunity. Perhaps this was a punishment, a punishment for her for impersonating someone else's qualifications and not repenting.
Shen Shao had no patience to listen to her ridicule.
"I don't like her." His tone was very indifferent.
Gu Jingjing snorted coldly and hung up the phone. Aren’t you the one who knows best whether he likes you or not?
Chen Shao threw all the photos and information on the table into the trash can. He warned himself again and again not to think about Gu Wan anymore, she was not worth it.
Gu Wan thought she would see Chen Shao again soon, but that incident was like an accident, and she never received any news from him again.
Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Wan had some free time. She went to the supermarket to buy some gifts and drove back to the villa.
Gu Shengwen's company has a professional manager. He is not as busy as before. He is sitting in the yard drinking tea. He was a little surprised to see Gu Wan.
"Hey, you're back, so why are you bringing things with you?" He said and asked the aunt to take it quickly.
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "Mid-Autumn Festival."
Gu Shengwen only knew, "The last time Jingjing came back, you didn't even get to have a meal with her."
Gu Wan had dinner at Gu's house and was ready to leave at around five in the afternoon. However, she accidentally bumped into a car at the gate. When she got out, she found that the car looked familiar.
Shen Shao was on a personal matter today and was driving his own car. He knew it was Gu Wan's car and he had deliberately crashed into it.
The security personnel have arrived and are directing the car to be moved to an empty space, after all, it will delay others if it stays here.
Gu Wan got out of the car and looked at the car on the opposite side. There was still no movement, so she was not in a hurry.
The security guard took the walkie-talkie to arrange other things, then walked forward and knocked on the car window.
Shen Shao lowered the car window, his face expressionless, and said nothing.
Gu Wan had just received a phone call and was standing aside with her back to them.
Shen Shao looked at her back, the veins of his big hands holding the steering wheel visible.
"compensation."
The security guard knew Chen Shao, but he also knew Gu Wan. Doesn't this mean that the two families have a good relationship? Why did he pay compensation?
“Mr. Shen, how about you reconsider it?”
This car is different from other cars. Miss Gu's car is very cheap. Or is it that people returning from foreign countries are really unkind? It is still the people in China who are more humane.
Gu Wan hung up the phone before turning around and walking over. She was wearing casual pants today, with her hair tied up in a low bun, some hair on both sides of her forehead, and a short-sleeved top with a light-colored knitted jacket.
"How to deal with it?"
Shen Shao didn’t get out of the car or say anything.
The security guard saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, “Mr. Shen said he wanted compensation.”
Gu Wan bent down in surprise and looked at him through the car window, snorting softly. He had grown up a lot, and his eyes and eyebrows had become sharper. In recent years, she would hear news about him, such as winning some big cases or acquiring something, and Gu Shengwen would also praise him in front of her. However, after seeing it with her own eyes and experiencing these two things, she always felt that he had not made much progress.
“There’s a dashcam. Mr. Shen hit it first. Let the insurance company come and check it out.”
After saying this, Gu Wan raised her hand and glanced at the time.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Shao watched her hand the car keys to the security guard, pick up her bag from the car and turn to leave, then slammed the steering wheel with her fist. She always made him feel helpless, as if he was the one who was being unreasonable.
The security guard stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Shen?" He felt that it was pathetic that this grown man was still angry with a little girl.
Shen Shao didn't say anything and drove away.
The security guard didn't understand for a moment whether he had to pay compensation or not.
When Shen Shao returned home, Aunt Jiang was cooking soup in the kitchen. She had finally gotten her son back for a meal, and when she heard the noise, she hurried out.
"You're back, dinner will be served soon." After she said that, she realized that Shen Shao's expression was not right.
Aunt Jiang knew him very well. She thought about when she went to deliver Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the Gu family two days ago and heard Mr. Gu mention that Gu Wan would be back, so she might have bumped into him.
She thought for a moment, picked up her phone and opened the photo album.
"You're not young anymore. I'm introducing you to some girls from similar families. Take a look at them first and get to know them. If you have time, we can sit down and chat. If you don't want to get married, you can get engaged."
As he spoke, he placed the phone in front of him.
Shen Shao took a breath and spoke helplessly, "Mom, I don't have any plans to get married for the time being. Didn't I tell you before?"
Aunt Jiang turned off her phone directly, her tone very serious.
"Chen Shao, Mom knows you're still thinking about Gu Wan. I don't know what happened back then, but there's one thing Mom has to confess to you."
Shen Shao frowned slightly.
Aunt Jiang sighed.
"After you went abroad, I went to see her and told her not to see you again, and she agreed." She could see the emotion that flashed across Shen Shao's eyes when he heard this. "I also told her how hard you worked for her, but she didn't say anything else."
Aunt Jiang held his hand.
"As someone who's been through this, I can tell you that marrying someone you love is naturally a good idea, but you have to be mentally prepared. Gu Wan is a good girl. She's done beautiful things over the years, and she's a good match for you. If you want to be with her again, then pursue her diligently. If not, then go on a blind date with the person I introduced you to and get engaged."
Shen Shao hummed, "Mom, I know."
Aunt Jiang stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Your father and I respect your choice."
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Gu Wan finished her work and took a taxi home.
The next morning, the insurance company called and said that the responsibility was not theirs and that they would pay compensation.
After the communication, Gu Wan went to pick up her car. When she arrived at the station, she received an invitation letter. It was for the anniversary celebration of H University, hoping that she would return to the school to give a speech to her classmates in the journalism class. Seeing that her former mentor also sent a message, she agreed immediately.
The school anniversary is on the day before the National Day holiday.
Gu Wan took a leave of absence from the station, wearing a long skirt that reached her ankles, a light-colored suit jacket, and her long hair was casually curled at home. She wore light makeup, looking generous, decent and mature.
She had a good reputation at H University, and was greeted at the door.
"Hello, Senior."
Gu Wan looked at the girl in front of her and smiled, "Don't be too nervous. Just tell me the location and the process, I can do it myself."
The female classmate was indeed a little nervous and quickly handed her the process card.
"Senior, can I have your autograph?"
Gu Wan nodded, "Where is the signature?"
The female classmate took out her textbook from her bag, looking heroic and willing to die. "Here's the place. This way, I'll have more energy to look at my senior's signature in class later."
Gu Wan thought she was really cute, so she lowered her head and wrote something, adding a word of encouragement.
The girl looked at Gu Wan again while holding her textbook, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Gu Wan shook her head.
"There's always been a legend about a senior in the Journalism Department. It's said that she was pursued by many boys when she was in college, including Senior Jiang Yue and my younger brother who was admitted without taking the entrance exam."
The girls gossiped with Gu Wan in a low voice.
Gu Wan frowned slightly. She could understand Jiang Yue's situation. There was a post, but how did she know about Shen Shao's situation?
"How did you know about the younger brother who was admitted?"
The girl covered her mouth as if she had gotten the real deal, "So, is it true, Senior? I always thought it was just a rumor."
"No, tell me how you know first."
The girl shook her head. "How could a journalist like you lie? It has to be true." She paused. "It was dug up by the freshmen that year. My good-looking brother, who was admitted through recommendation, was photographed and posted on the campus website. Then everyone heard he didn't come and went abroad. There were also photos of you and him. They were everywhere. But you didn't know about it, senior. Maybe you were too focused on your studies."
Gu Wan really had no idea. She had almost no friends and rarely communicated with others. She was considered an outlier at school.
"Thank you."
The girl waved her hands quickly, and only then did she realize that she had talked so much with the goddess.
"It's okay, but goddess, you're so good, they're not good enough for you."
Gu Wan talked to her about many other things. She felt that this classmate was really suitable for journalism, but she was still a little surprised when she saw Chen Shao. He didn't graduate from this school, so he wasn't an honorary alumnus?
The girl also saw it in the conference room, "This person looks familiar?"
Gu Wan just felt that after so many years, people's temperaments had changed a lot, and the photos from that year must not have been very clear. However, she was not a very high-ranking figure, so she only needed to speak in the journalism department, not in such a big occasion.
After she finished registering with the girls, she went to their classroom, prepared some cases, and chatted with everyone for two or three hours.
But it's nice to be able to help them.
Gu Wan went to talk to her tutor's office again before she was about to leave, but she unexpectedly ran into Chen Shao in the parking lot. They had met quite often recently, and she walked past Chen Shao.
Shen Shao stopped her, “Teacher Gu, don’t you say a word to me when we meet?”
Gu Wan looked up at him with a relaxed tone and a gentle attitude.
“Mr. Shen, you don’t have to call me teacher.”
Chen Shao was dressed in a suit, his hair combed meticulously, and he chuckled, "It's still necessary. If it weren't for the lessons that Teacher Gu taught me back then, I wouldn't be so outstanding now, don't you think?"
Gu Wan frowned.
"Just say what you want to say."
Shen Shao suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, Teacher Gu said that as long as I pass the exam, he will agree to my request, right?"
Gu Wan didn't expect that five years had passed and he still remembered it?
"Yes, but I told you that it was impossible."
Chen Shao's eyes were unclear, "Back then, I wanted you to agree because I liked you, but now I don't like you anymore, and I want to change my wish."
Gu Wan nodded slightly, she owed him.
"Go ahead."
Shen Shao looked down at her and said, "Marry me." His tone was light, but his eyes revealed his determination.
