Chapter 125 Lost Face

Gu Jingyan's smile made Lan Mu suddenly feel uneasy.

He seemed to know something he didn't know.

Xiao Xiang, who was leaning at his feet, suddenly felt guilty and said weakly, "I don't have a father or a mother anymore. I'm an orphan, wuwuwu."

"Please don't be mean to Dad, Uncle Gu, I was wrong."

"Just think of it as me bullying Xixi. It's my fault, wuwuwu."

Gu Xixi: [Good fellow! You deliberately bumped into me while I was drinking water! ]

Gu Xixi: [You even splashed my shoes with drinks! ]

Gu Xixi: [Now he is pretending to be innocent. ]

Gu Xixi: [At such a young age, he is already good at making green tea. He is indeed Nie Xiutong’s son.]

If Shen Ruoan hadn't been able to hear Gu Xixi's inner voice, he would have been confused by the appearance of this little boy.

The thief cries "stop thief" and he really distorts the facts.

Such a good actor at such a young age!

However, Shen Ruoan had a feeling that this little brat would not meet a good end.

She took a step back and dragged Director Wu behind the crowd: "Director Wu, you really have a good eye for people."

Director Wu: “Ah?”

Shen Ruoan looked at the crying Xiao Xiang and said, "Look, Xiao Xiang, the filming hasn't even started yet, but you're already acting so soon."

Director Wu could definitely hear the hidden meaning in the words.

"Ruoan, you mean... Xiao Xiang is lying?"

"I believe Xixi." Shen Ruoan was firm.

"Haha, but Xiao Xiang is so young, he shouldn't be that scheming, right?"

Shen Ruoan looked at Director Wu with a sly look in his eyes and a smile on his face: "Director Wu, do you want to take a chance with me?"

"Okay, how do we bet?"

"If it is true that Xiao Xiang bullied Xixi, Ru Liu should replace him."

Xiao Xiang is the actor chosen to play the childhood of the male lead in "Ru Liu".

It was also because Lan Mu planned to adopt Xiao Xiang that Director Wu did a favor and, at Lan Mu's suggestion, let Xiao Xiang play the male lead's childhood.

It's only a few minutes of screen time, so it's not a big deal.

But now it is Gu Xixi who has a conflict with Xiao Xiang, and Director Wu also has to reconsider this matter.

Shen Ruoan's bet gave him a stepping stone.

"Okay, I'll take the bet." Director Wu smiled expectantly.

He doesn't care who bullies whom, he is just a simple spectator.

Regarding the child who likes acting, Gu Jingyan said: "Your biological father and mother stole Xixi and deliberately abused her. You also often bullied her and even hit Xixi on the head."

"You don't have a father or a mother."

"You don't want to recognize your parents who are in prison."

"He was a lawless kid at home, but now that he's in the orphanage, he's suddenly become a good kid?"

"What? You want to trick a fool into adopting you?"

Xiao Xiang shrank smaller and smaller, and his eyes looked more guilty.

These words made Lan Mu feel embarrassed.

He really didn't know what happened to Xiao Xiang's parents before, but he thought that children in orphanages generally have no parents, and no matter what the reason is, they are very pitiful.

Lan Mu thought Xiao Xiang was well-behaved and knew how to please him, and after all, he had money.

Adopting a sensible and obedient child is like bringing home a pet.

Gu Xixi: [If Xiao Xiang is really adopted, doesn't he have to change his last name to Lan? ]

Gu Xixi: [Wouldn't that make it Lan Xiang? ]

Gu Xixi: [Let’s call it Excavator. ]

Shen Ruoan: Phew.

This little kid’s inner voice is so funny.

"Oh, so this kid's parents are this kind of people!"

"Although the sins of the parents should not be blamed on the child, he is also a bully."

"How pitiful the little girl who was bullied is."

"Look at her, a tiny girl, being bullied by this family. What did she do wrong?"

The discussion gradually turned towards Gu Jingyan and Gu Xixi, making Lan Mu feel a little embarrassed.

He looked at Xiao Xiang who was close to him and deliberately stepped aside: "Xiao Xiang, is this true?"

"No, it's not true!" Xiao Xiang shook his head desperately.

Lan Mu's face darkened: "Don't lie to me, I can find out all these things!"

Xiao Xiang lowered his head gradually with a firm tone.

Lan Mu stopped talking, anger lingering around him. #

This atmosphere seemed to be giving Xiao Xiang advance notice that his adoption plan had fallen through.

Xiao Xiang didn't want to give up the chance to leave the orphanage that he had finally gotten.

The food there tasted terrible, and the kids hated it and kept bullying him secretly.

Xiao Xiang couldn't stand staying in that place any longer.

"Dad, don't you want Xiao Xiang anymore?" Xiao Xiang squeezed out tears, his eyes red, and carefully pulled Lan Mu's trouser leg.

If it weren't for what happened just now, Lan Mu might have felt heartbroken because of the look in his eyes at this moment.

But now that so many people are watching him, Lan Mu doesn't want to offend Gu Jingyan publicly.

Especially since Xiao Xiang's parents had done so many bad things, if he adopted him, he would also have to endure unnecessary slander and bad comments.

Lan Mu pushed Xiao Xiang's hand away and glared at him coldly: "You disappoint me so much."

"Not only did he lie, he was also so mean. I was wrong about him!"

Xiao Xiang grabbed Lan Mu's trouser legs tightly and begged with tears: "Dad, I know I was wrong, I have changed, I am a good child! Really!"

No matter what he said, Lan Mu remained unmoved and waited for security to come and take him away.

Everything that was originally planned has now been disrupted.

Hearing Xiao Xiang continue to call him dad, Lan Mu's brows were almost twisted into knots.

Security came, picked up Xiao Xiang, and prepared to take him out and send him back to the orphanage.

Xiao Xiang was no match for the adults. The two men lifted him off the ground and he was getting further and further away from Lan Mu.

Xiao Xiang, who was extremely desperate, stopped begging and turned to angrily scold Lan Mu: "You liar! You don't keep your word! You are trash! You are a piece of shit! You are a rubbish that deceives children!"

The curse sounded like the stretched sound of a bellows, echoing in the hall for a long time.

Everyone who had calmed down pursed their lips and said nothing.

Xiao Xiang's curses were like slaps in the face, making Lan Mu lose all face.

Lan Mu was also one of the leaders of today's charity dinner. He wanted to take this opportunity to announce the adoption of Xiao Xiang.

Now... not only has he offended Gu Jingyan, but that little brat has also been bullying him.

Xiao Xiang was just as Gu Jingyan said, his whole family was of bad breed, with inferior genes.

"Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry," Lan Mu said with an apologetic smile as he turned around. "I didn't expect Xiao Xiang to be such a liar. He even deceived me."

"I'm here to apologize on his behalf for bullying Xixi."

"I will also stop with the adoption of him."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gu, for letting me know Xiao Xiang's true face in time."

Lan Mu stepped down from the stage in just a few words, admitting his mistake and at the same time promoting Gu Jingyan.

Gu Jingyan had heard too many compliments like this. He had no interest in chatting any longer with an idiot who was almost cheated by Xiao Xiang. He hugged Gu Xixi and turned around and left.

Soon after, the charity auction began.

Jiang Qi wanted to sit next to Gu Jingyan, but her seat was further back, so she could only look at the back of that handsome head in the distance with resentment.

"Ruoan, haven't you got Gu Jingyan's contact information yet?" Jiang Qi nudged her with her elbow and asked in a low voice.

Shen Ruoan shook his head and his cell phone suddenly rang.

A text message from an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.

The text message reads: [Hello, I am Gu Jingyan.]
