But she looked back and nodded at him, her expression very cold and her actions very polite, but she was looking at him.
Shi Wang felt a little confused. Seeing Zhu Mian and Gu Qingxu get together under such circumstances, it was not just the few times they had seen in the drama club, nor was it just a relationship of partners.
Friends are certainly possible, but are there other relationships?
Although they called each other friends, Gu Qingxu had a sense of distance, as if he had marked out his territory and would not allow others to enter.
He and Gu Qingxu had little interaction. Gu Qingxu was one grade higher than him, and the two had only met a few times at public interest legal consultations and debate competitions.
The law firm under the name of Yu Shen Wu Xing is the internship venue that NUS will cooperate with for the next two years. The best law students either go to Lu's or Yu Shen Wu Xing.
Shi Wang knew his background, but he didn't know that he had a private connection with Zhu Mian.
Could it be that they are really boyfriend and girlfriend?
After Zhu Mian got in the car, Gu Qingxu didn't say anything. He just drove the car to a secluded place, stopped, and whispered, "Mian Mian."
Xiaomian replied calmly, "Hmm?"
The drizzle outside slanted against the transparent car window. His voice was gentle: "I'm sorry, you didn't react so well when you were on the phone with your agent in the car just now. I should have known that. I should have followed you and shouldn't have let others stand in your way."
Xiaomian's voice was soft: "I don't want you to see the embarrassment."
Gu Qingxu looked at her. He was like a piece of black jade, a color that embraces everything, yet it was icy and transparent. There was no gloom, only restraint, forbearance, and gentleness. With the good upbringing of a child from an aristocratic family, there was a kind of calm and nobleness that came out from his bones. But the look he gave her was one of cherishment and guilt: "It's my fault. We are future boyfriend and girlfriend, but I didn't fulfill my responsibilities."
Xiaomian was a little shocked because he spoke in Cantonese: "You can speak Cantonese now?"
Gu Qingxu smiled slightly. "You can learn sign language for the people who are important to you, so why can't I learn Cantonese for the people who are important to me? I can't go to see your parents and relatives in the future and not understand a single word they say, right?"
Zhuomian was still very surprised because he spoke very standardly, and his accent was more like a Hong Kong accent. You could tell from his voice that he had learned from a local.
Gu Qingxu reached out and touched her head, his bamboo-like fingertips caressing her hair with exceptional tenderness. "There are so many people chasing you, including many young wealthy men, from those who returned from overseas to those who built their fortunes from scratch. It's an honor for me that you favor me, but I haven't done well enough."
For no apparent reason, a warm fire seemed to ignite in the heart of the day sleeper, warm and gentle: "It has nothing to do with you, I deliberately kept it a secret."
Her cell phone suddenly rang, the ringtone being a little abrupt in the quiet car.
Gu Qingxu said gently, "Take it."
Xiaomian picked up the phone and answered it. Liu Wei on the other end pressed him, "I heard about what happened at the dinner just now. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you about the producer at the party. I was actually threatened with losing my job. You know how hard it was for me to get this job."
The car was too close, and even Gu Qingxu could hear the voice on the phone, but his warm big hand covered her slightly cold hand, bringing a hint of warmth, so that the bad news the agent said on the other end seemed insignificant.
Zhumian said calmly, "I will take you to Wujin, but you don't need to take me with you anymore. Thank you for your care this year. At least you really lifted me up without any threat."
Liu Wei suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
Xiaomian was about to hang up the phone, but paused. Liu Wei on the other end said seriously, "Don't get too close to your assistant."
Zhoumian frowned: "Why?"
Liu Wei simply said, "There's still no reason, but I didn't lie to you about this one thing. If you do as I say, it will definitely be beneficial to you."
Xiaomian asked: "Is she going to harm me?"
Liu Wei's breathing was heavy: "No."
Zhumian frowned: "Why is that?"
Liu Wei whispered, "I've been in this business for over a decade. I've been through it all, so of course I won't give you any advice. By the time you understand, it'll be too late. Don't be too nice to assistant agents in the future. You're too kind, and you won't last long in this business. Their kindness will likely become a weapon against you."
Zhu Mian's expression was slightly cold, and Gu Qingxu took the phone from her hand and spoke in a restrained and distant voice: "I will take care of her from now on, so don't bother worrying about her."
Gu Qingxu hung up the phone directly, but immediately apologized to Xiaomian: "I'm sorry, I answered the phone for you."
Xiaomian thought it was insignificant: "It's okay, I wanted to refute her. If kindness is no longer needed, then there is no point in me entering this industry."
She wants to be in the news, and now she is just accumulating initial influence.
She won't always be just an entertainer.
Gu Qingxu, however, held her hand, interlocking their fingers, and looked at her intently: "Leave all legal disputes related to you to me, and entrust your personal safety to me personally. I will do my best to protect you when you charge. Just do what you want to do, and don't change your original intention because of anyone."
The two of them didn't notice that someone was taking pictures of them in the dark of the drizzle.
Meeting his burning eyes, Zhu Mian's heart moved and she replied softly, "Hmm." Gu Qingxu finally felt relieved, started the car, and took her home.
The next day, just as she woke up, Zhu Jiang slammed the door loudly. She went to open the door. Zhu Jiang was holding a stack of newspapers that he had gotten from somewhere. "It's over, Mianmian, look."
Zhuo Mian was holding a toothbrush in his mouth and took it to take a look.
It turned out to be a newspaper from Hong Kong media, freshly published this morning. In the photo, Gu Qingxu was holding an umbrella for her, and she was wearing Gu Qingxu's suit jacket. Shi Wang was looking at their backs in the drizzle, and at first glance, he looked very affectionate.
I don't know who took this photo, but it has a very explosive title:
"Departure: The prince and the young master of the mainland wealthy Koo family compete for one woman. The female star in question breaks up with the prince on a rainy night and throws herself into the arms of the young master."
(The prince of Yangliuan and the young master of the mainland wealthy Gu family competed for one woman. The female star broke up with the prince on a rainy night and threw herself into the arms of Gu.)
Zhuomian's expression turned unhappy. She flipped through the newspapers below, and there were even photos of her and Gu Qingxu in the car.
"Yue Shenghua is in Shanghai trying to find a rich husband, while the prince has lost his beloved."
(Yue Shenghua is fishing for a rich husband in Shanghai, while the prince at Yangliuan loses his beloved.)
"A Cantonese-born female celebrity pretends to be a socialite on the Bund. Departure's eldest grandson, in a fit of rage, spends 10 million on red wine."
(A Cantonese-born female star pretends to be a socialite on the Bund. Yang Liu'an's eldest grandson rushes to the throne for her and spends 10 million on red wine.)
The exaggeration is outrageous, and they want to make as much fuss as possible, which completely goes against the essence of journalism that seeks truth and facts.
The expression of the daytime sleeper is getting uglier and uglier.
She really didn't expect that someone of her status could be called a female star. Hong Kong media broke the news, or maybe Shi Wang had a background in Hong Kong, and her every move attracted the attention of the paparazzi there.
She suddenly remembered that Feng Chi scolded her yesterday and told her to go back to Central.
It was probably because the Shi Wang family's winery opened in Hong Kong City and attracted some attention, so someone sold the photos to the Hong Kong media overnight to attract attention.
I find it ironic to sleep during the day.
