Chapter 133

Nan Tao called Yu Xue back without saying a word.

After the two communicated for a while, Yu Xue decided to agree and go with Nan Tao.

Gu Xuan's appointment happened to be the night before New Year's Eve, and the director of the crew was very humane and gave everyone a holiday. Although it was only half a day in the evening, everyone was very happy because they didn't have to get up early to work the next day.

Nan Tao's attention has been on Gu Xuan. Seeing him packing his things, she guessed that he would be getting ready to leave soon. Xiaoxue said that the appointment time was 7 o'clock in the evening, and including the driving time to the city center, it would be about this time.

Just as Gu Xuan raised his feet, he was blocked by a figure.

"Do you have time in the evening?" Qiu Jun asked with a smile.

Gu Xuan said impatiently, "Get out of the way!"

Qiu Jun covered his chest with his hands to show that he was injured. "Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Let's celebrate the New Year together."

Gu Xuan still looked cold and said, "I have an appointment with someone else."

After saying that, he walked around Qiu Jun and left.

Nan Tao pretended to pack her things, but actually watched the whole process quietly. She did not miss Qiu Jun staring at Gu Xuan's back, with a sinister and gloomy look in his eyes.

Hehehe, is this place going to become dark?

No, the time when she turned evil should be a little earlier, probably around the time when it was revealed that Gu Xuan had a male sponsor.

Nan Tao ate a small melon and felt good. She put on her down jacket, carried a small bag, and left the dressing room slowly humming a song.

After leaving the crew, Nan Tao saw Gu Xuan wearing a duckbill cap and a black mask, getting into a low-key black luxury car.

Tsk tsk, he has been on the hot search before, and he is still so blatant. The person behind it must be Park Moon Bin.

He has time to pick up Gu Xuan but no time to pick up Yu Xue. How arrogant.

Nan Tao took a photo and after getting into the car, she lowered her head and clicked send to send the photo to Yu Xue, and asked:

－－－Didn’t Park Wenbin pick you up?

When I looked up again, I saw Qiu Jun through the car window.

No one knew when the person appeared here. He was staring at the luxury car in Guxuan, with a terribly gloomy face, even scarier than a foggy day.

After a while, Qiu Jun drove away, and it was obvious that he was heading in the same direction as Gu Xuan.

Nan Tao quickly told the driver, "Let's go too. Let's follow behind this car and see if the route is different. Then we can go our own way."

After the car started, Yu Xue finally replied.

－－－Isn't this car Wenbin's? Where did you take the photo, sister-in-law?

－－－He told me that he was busy with work and asked me to go there by myself.

Nan Tao typed a bunch of words, deleted and reduced them, and finally pressed the send button.

－－－This is the crew.

Along the way, Nan Tao was chatting aimlessly with Yu Xueman. Occasionally, she looked out the window and could actually see Qiu Jun's car.

Nan Tao made a bold guess that the pervert Qiu Jun might be following Gu Xuan.

Thinking about this possibility, I feel a little excited. I don’t know what will happen during dinner later. I am looking forward to it.

The traffic in the city was very congested on New Year's Eve, and it took nearly an hour and a half to reach our destination.

Nan Tao looked at the time. It was already a quarter past seven.

I was chatting with Xiaoxue just now, and he had already arrived. However, he did not go directly to the booked box, but waited for her outside.

The nanny car drove slowly into the underground garage.

Nan Tao asked the driver to drive slower and circle the garage a few more times pretending to look for a parking space. After the occupants of the car in front got out, she told the driver to find a spot to park the car.

Until Qiu Jun disappeared from sight, Nan Tao got out of the car quietly like a thief, looking sneaky.

Suddenly, someone patted her on the back.

Nan Tao was shocked. "Who?"

Yu Xue was puzzled, "Sister-in-law, it's me. Didn't you tell me to wait for you here? What are you doing? Why are you so scared all of a sudden?"

Nan Tao breathed a sigh of relief, "How come you walk without making any sound, little girl?"

Yu Xue glanced at her high heels and said, "Sister-in-law, what were you looking at just now? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond, so I took a photo of you."

Nan Tao quickly covered Yu Xue's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down."

Yu Xue's eyes rolled around, "Are there any melons to eat?"

Nan Tao coughed lightly, "What's the big deal? I'm just afraid of paparazzi taking pictures of me now that I'm famous."

Yu Xue had no doubts, "Wen Bin told me that he has already arrived, so let's go up too."

This high-end restaurant was selected by Gu Xuan and a private room was booked.

The private room is very spacious and can seat ten people. The windows are floor-to-ceiling windows through which you can see the bright lights outside and the constant flow of vehicles and people on the road.

Yu Xue has a problem. She gets nervous easily when she sees someone she doesn't know well, and when she gets nervous she automatically becomes aloof.

In fact, she didn't want to do that, but she couldn't get rid of this bad habit. She had been misunderstood countless times since she was a child.

"Wenbin, Guxuan." Yu Xue greeted him stutteringly.

Nan Tao smiled and said, "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."

As he spoke, he pulled Yu Xue into the private room and sat down opposite Park Wenbin and Gu Xuan.

Park Wenbin and Yu Xue sat facing each other outside, while Nan Tao and Gu Xuan sat facing each other inside.

Nan Tao greeted with a smile, "Teacher Gu, I see you are here."

Gu Xuan didn't say anything, but looked at Park Wenbin.

Park Wenbin frowned, "Xiaoxue, didn't we agree to discuss private matters today? Why did you bring your sister-in-law with you?"

Yu Xue was about to explain when Nan Tao spoke first, "You haven't married Xie Xue yet. Calling me sister-in-law is a bit too intimate. Just call me by my name."

Park Wenbin was unhappy, but he didn't dare to offend this unruly and willful young lady. He looked at Yu Xue with grievance on his face and accusation in his eyes.

Yu Xue was particularly innocent and said seriously, "My sister-in-law is right, Wenbin, it's better for you to call me by my name."

Nan Tao almost died of laughter, and Pu Wenbin's face turned green.

Park Wenbin took a deep breath. His main purpose at the moment was to explain the internet trending search to Yu Xue. It was just a small matter of calling each other names. He would find a chance to settle the score when he became the aunt of the Yu family.

"Here is the menu, take a look and see what you like to eat."

Park Moon Bin handed the menu to Yu Xue gently and affectionately.

Yu Xue turned around and handed the menu to Nan Tao: "Sister-in-law, take a quick look and see what you like to eat."

Park Moon Bin: “…”

Nan Tao ordered some signature dishes, and Yu Xue ordered her favorite dishes.

Nan Tao asked: "Why don't you ask Teacher Gu what he likes to eat? I heard that Teacher Gu is treating us today."

Park Wenbin glanced at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan said coldly: "Whatever, I'm not that hungry."

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Yu Xue felt a little embarrassed. She racked her brains for a topic and finally thought of one. She said, "Teacher Gu, don't you want to apologize to me?"

The atmosphere calmed down again.

Yu Xue dug her feet into the ground in embarrassment, screaming "Ahhhh" in her heart, and quickly turned her head to look at her sister-in-law for help.

Nan Tao was about to die of laughter from her sister-in-law, so she tried hard to hold back her laughter and helped to answer, "So this is the case. I haven't heard that you and Xiaoxue have any connection, Teacher Gu. Did you do anything to let Xiaoxue down?"

Gu Xuan's face was cold.

Park Wenbin quickly spoke up: "This is what happened. A while ago, Teacher Gu and I were on the hot search. Teacher Gu felt sorry and was afraid that Xiaoxue would misunderstand, so he invited Xiaoxue and me to dinner to explain. Strictly speaking, it was not an apology."

Nan Tao suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is, but that trending search only showed Teacher Gu, not you."

Park Moon Bin: “…”

Park Wenbin: "I love Xiaoxue so much and was afraid that there would be misunderstandings between us, so I mentioned this to Teacher Gu. Teacher Gu is very kind and took the initiative to come to me and say that he wanted to find Xiaoxue to explain."

Yu Xue: "I saw the trending searches, the photos and audio are pretty real. I was shocked when I first saw them. If I didn't know you were not gay, I would have thought you were cheating."

Park Moon Bin: “…”

Nan Tao was about to faint from laughing, and she rubbed her cheeks desperately to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Park Wenbin's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he tried to explain, "How could I be gay, Xiaoxue, you and I have been in love for so many years, and we have been engaged for several years. I am so sad that you doubt me. The photos and audio are all fake. Now AI technology is so advanced, some people will do anything to get traffic, and Teacher Gu and I are both victims."

"Miss Nan was also present that night and can testify for me."

Nan Tao: "When I went there, the director was already there. I don't know what you were doing before."

Yu Xue nodded like a little idiot: "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."

Park Moon Bin: “…”

Park Wenbin was very tired and complained to Yu Xue why she brought Nan Tao here, saying that she was just a troublemaker.

Park Wenbin forced himself to cheer up, "Teacher Gu and I are just ordinary friends. Apart from some overlap in work, we rarely contact each other, right?"

Gu Xuan clenched his hands on his knees and said expressionlessly: "He is right. I am just an insignificant person. Miss Yu, you don't have to care about me."

Yu Xue made a dry sound, not knowing what to say.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Just at this moment the waiter brought the food, breaking the silence.

Park Wenbin heaved a sigh of relief and attentively picked up food for Yu Xue. He asked about her well-being in various ways, acting like a boyfriend in love, sweet and affectionate. From time to time, he assured Yu Xue that he would definitely treat her well and would never cheat on her or betray her. He spoke with great confidence, as if he would be struck by lightning if he lied.

Gu Xuan sat nearby, not speaking or eating, as if he were an invisible man, quiet and silent, with a cold look in his eyes, and a hint of despair.

Nan Tao saw this and laughed.

It was clearly him who seduced someone else's fiancé as a male mistress, and now he is teaming up with Park Wenbin to deceive Xiaoxue. Why does he act like the victim, as if Yu Xue bullied him?

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, why don't you eat? You haven't even moved your chopsticks. Are you unhappy?"

Park Wenbin's chopsticks stopped in mid-air as he was picking up food for Yu Xue. He lowered his eyelids to hide the pain in his eyes. When he raised his eyes again, the pain had disappeared. After putting the food into Yu Xue's bowl, he casually said, "Maybe Teacher Gu has a stomachache. Let's ask the waiter to bring some millet porridge."

After saying this, he called the waiter and asked for the millet porridge.

Yu Xue also looked over quickly, "My stomach hurts so bad, drinking some millet porridge will make it better."

Suddenly, Gu Xuan stood up.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

Yu Xue: "Wenbin, your friend doesn't seem to be feeling well, do you want to go check on him?"

Park Wenbin was silent for two seconds, then said nonchalantly, "It's okay, you don't have to go."

Nan Tao's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Xuan leaving.

Only she knew that Qiu Junren was also here, and maybe the two of them had already bumped into each other at this time.

Just when I was worrying about having no good excuse to go out, my cell phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be the director calling.

Nan Tao stood up and said, "There's a phone call. I'll go out and answer it."

While answering the phone, he walked out of the box.

The director informed me that I don’t have to go to the set tomorrow morning and I can come in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Nan Tao was preparing to stroll back and forth in the corridor on this floor to see if she could try her luck. Unexpectedly, her luck was so good that she turned around and saw Qiu Jun quietly following Gu Xuan at the corner not far away. Gu Xuan seemed to be distracted and did not notice.

Nan Tao's eyes lit up, and when the two figures disappeared around the corner one after the other, she raised her feet and followed them quietly.

After they entered the men's restroom, they quickly slipped into the women's restroom next door.

The men's and women's restrooms are located opposite each other, very close to each other. Unless you lower your voice, you can hear the people inside talking.

Maybe it was because there was no one in the men's room, but Qiu Jun didn't lower his voice at all, so Nan Tao could easily hear the conversation.

Nan Tao gave Qiu Jun a thumbs up in her heart, then stood close to the bathroom door and listened to what was being said on the other side.

I didn't expect to hear such explosive content, it's really too explosive.
