Chapter 48: Everyone's Idol (18)

“No, that person is lying. He doesn't have a wife at all.”

Father Gao slammed a stack of information over as he scolded disappointedly. “He was already married for five years! His child is already two years old!”

Gao Xueyun looked at the child in the photograph and was rendered speechless from shock.

After a while, she muttered, “How could this be…”

“Dad, listen to me. I didn't know. I really didn't know. He lied to me. Find him to clear things up!”

Father Gao replied. “I can't find him.”

“How could you be unable to find him? Didn't he accept an interview earlier? How could you be unable to find him?” Gao Xueyun questioned.

Father Gao answered. “After he was done with the interview, he left with a car and has been missing since then. What's the use of finding him! There are still so many things to deal with at the back!”

Father Gao was going to be pissed off by his daughter.

There was not only this incident that was revealed.

“What else have you done?” Father Gao asked.

Gao Xueyun shook her head. “Nothing, Dad. I did nothing. Dad, you got to help me prevent the news from blowing up! You definitely have a way to do so!”

Father Gao became even more enraged when she talked about that incident. He immediately prevented the news from blowing up yet the views kept increasing.

He had spent money to prevent the news from blowing up, but naturally, there would be people who spent money to increase the viewership of the hot topic.

The opposite party did not care about money and thus, he could not prevent the news from blowing up.

Father Gao heard Gao Xueyun's shriek and felt a headache coming. He made someone shut her off in the room and she could not leave the room without his permission.

Huang Fei Entertainment.

Xie Zhou looked at the latest hot topic with an unclear expression.

“Who did the Gao Family offend?” He asked.

His assistant replied, “It should be Gu Chuzheng. Previously, someone photographed the scene where Gao Xueyun was being thrown outside the shopping mall. I found some information and these are the photos…”

His assistant let Xie Zhou look at the photographs.

“This is the photograph from that day.” His assistant swiped the screen and the photograph changed from outside the shopping mall to the shop.

Gao Xueyun was hit by Gu Chuzheng and had no chance of retaliation.

“I even found that the negative news about Gu Chuzheng on the internet was probably done by Gao Xueyun. Gu Chuzheng is following the principle of an eye for an eye…” 'This woman's revenge was so ruthless and fast.'

“President Xie, this Gu Chuzheng is no small fly.” She dared to offend the Gao family like this and they could not even find the exact details.

Moreover, she received information too quickly.

Even if she found out that Gao Xueyun was the one defaming her, does she not have to investigate Gao Xueyun's matters?

Yet in just a few days, she did all that. It made one dumbfounded.

Xie Zhou closed the webpage. “Regarding this incident, let's wait and see.”

“What about Gu Chuzheng?”

“Continue to search for more information.”

“Noted.” His assistant walked out, but came back before too long. “President Xie, Miss Manman said she wanted to audition for the second female lead role of”Flowers In A Mirror And The Moon's Reflection In Water”. She told me to pass on the message that she won't be coming in the near future.”

Xie Zhou furrowed his brows. “Give her the script.”

His assistant knew what that meant. She was already accepted for the role.

On the other side, Chuzheng sat on the empress chair as King nagged in her brain.

[Little miss, look at that. I was not wrong, right? Money makes the world go round. In the future, just be a good prodigal and stop thinking about getting rid of others. A girl should not be so violent.]

“If I could get rid of them, why would there be such a hassle now?” Chuzheng refused to listen.

[…]'I'm exhausted. I'm going offline.'

Chuzheng turned the chair. She had dealt with Gao Xueyun so Su Jiu's matter was solved too. Without Gao Xueyun, he could not be tainted anymore, right?

Now, all that was left was the friendzone…

Ding—

[Pei Yu: President Gu, Su Jiu was admitted into the hospital.]

When Chuzheng received the SMS, she stared at it for almost thirty seconds before she slowly typed in the words for a reply.

[Gu Chuzheng: I'll foot the hospital bill.]

Pei Yu was probably dumbfounded by those words. Su Jiu was treated so well. Could it be that this President Gu of unknown origins fancied Su Jiu?

But why was she not worried even when Su Jiu was admitted into the hospital?

[Little miss.]King sighed. [You should rush to the hospital now and take care of him with care and concern. How could you do such a heartless act such as rejection!]

Do you still want to friendzone him!

Do you want to go back!

Chuzheng was speechless. “…”

When Su Jiu was filming, his leg was crushed under a rack. Now, it was swollen red and he could not walk.

Su Jiu sat on the bed and read his script yet none of the words entered his head.

His beautiful face looked a little pale due to the pain.

That look made others pity him more.

“President Gu, you came?”

Su Jiu looked towards the entrance and there seemed to be a person standing outside. He immediately lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

The footsteps of the two people drifted in from outside. Pei Yu said, “The doctor said he had to rest for quite a while. I have already settled things with the production team's side.”

“He seems to be asleep. Should I wake him up?”

Chuzheng took off her mask and stuffed it into her pocket. “It's alright. Carry on with your work.”

Pei Yu understood. “Then, I'll take my leave.”

Chuzheng pulled out the chair and sat down before taking away the script beside Su Jiu's hands.

As she raised her head, she met Su Jiu's teary eyes.

Su Jiu gave an obedient smile. “I thought you weren't going to come.”

Su Jiu had seen Pei Yu's message to her and he also saw her reply. He had not wanted to admit he was disappointed.

He wished for her to visit him.

Initially, he was shocked by this thought. Why did he think this way?

But he kept persuading himself that if she really had an ulterior motive on him, she had so many chances to execute it yet why hadn't she done so?

Maybe she was different from those people?

This was their first meet-up after the filming of the reality show.

Chuzheng put down the script. “Be more careful when you're filming.”

“Are you concerned about me?” Su Jiu tilted his head. His long eyelashes fluttered and it brushed into a small shadow in the shape of a fan under his eyes.

Chuzheng folded her hands and placed it on her leg. “If something happens to you, it will be troublesome for me.”

'Nothing must happen to him.'

Su Jiu could not understand that sentence.

From the gazes of others, he could tell the intentions they had on him yet for this person, he could not tell at all.

Her gaze was too calm.

It was as calm as a frozen still lake that had no large waves. Nobody could be the focus in her eyes… Nobody could.

Su Jiu pursed his dry lips. “I want to drink water.”

Chuzheng reached out to take the cup beside her, but there was no water inside. She stood up and left to get some water for him.

Su Jiu took a sip and the warm water was just nice to drink.

He suddenly recalled the time when they were filming for the variety show. She actually took care of others very well. Although she had a cold look, she could always execute every detail properly.

Su Jiu drank a few more sips before passing the water back to her.

“You still want more water?”

Su Jiu was dumbfounded. “…” 'Put it down! Wasn't this common sense?'

Su Jiu embarrassedly took back his hand and put the cup at the side with some difficulty.

Su Jiu tried to give a few more requests and despite the cold gaze, she turned around and fulfilled the requests.

He could not understand her even more.

He seemed to have a…
