translator: atlas studios editor: atlas studios
gu mengshen agreed with his brotherâs words very much. although his aunt had been missing for many years, everyone in the gu family, from the old patriarch and grandmother to the uncles and grandchildren, had never given up on her. previously, he had heard from an uncle in the family that he had already found some connections, and there was still a possibility of them finding his aunt. it seemed that the day would be coming.
once his aunt was found, the marriage with the mo family would be on the agenda. only the best man in the world could match the daughter of the gu family.
âsend me your location. iâll book a flight now.â
âno, brother, why do you want to come here? iâm just telling you, actuallyâ¦â
âwhat does a child like you know? whether itâs real or fake, i have to take a look first.â
gu mengshen thought about it and agreed. âare you going to tell mom and dad?â
ânot yet. iâm going to assess the situation first.â
after hanging up, gu mengshen looked back at gu ranâs room with a hint of guilt. after a while, he turned around and took the elevator upstairs.
gu mengxing rushed to the filming site, and checked into gu mengshenâs hotel with contempt. after booking a room, he called his brother.
âbrother, youâre really fast. you came just like that.â
gu mengxing left the door open for his younger brother. when gu mengshen arrived, he entered and saw his brother sitting on the sofa with a tablet in his hand.
âwhat are you looking at?â
gu mengxing flipped his hand to show him the screen. it was the travel variety show that gu ran had recorded previously.
âthis is the teacher gu you were talking about, right? sheâs really quite special. sheâs much better than those hypocritical actresses in the entertainment industry.â
gu mengshen nodded. âteacher guâs acting is also very good. many of our seniors in the production team like her very much and say that sheâs very talented. sheâs completely different from the person who is plagued by scandals. â
âbut big brother, what do you plan to do this time?â
gu mengshen thought about it for the entire night. the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been a little impulsive yesterday. âactually, in the end, this has nothing to do with teacher gu! she doesnât even know that uncle mo has a fiancée. in the end, itâs all uncle moâs fault. he was the one who messed around.â
gu mengxing raised his eyebrows. âi didnât expect you to be so protective of her. â
âi respect professionals.â gu mengshen glared at his brother.
âall right, fine. iâll go with you to meet her personally tomorrow. weâll talk about it after iâve given it careful consideration.â âour production team doesnât allow outsiders.â
gu mengxing flicked his brotherâs forehead casually. âi have my own way.â
after a day of rest, gu ran returned to the production team brimming with energy. however, as soon as she entered the production team, she sensed that the atmosphere today was not quite right.
âgu ran, gu ran, over here.â director zhou called out to her from afar and waved at her.
gu ran hurried over and saw mengshen standing shyly. beside him was a handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes. his eyes were filled with arrogance, and his features were quite similar to mengshen.
âthis is mengxing, ceo meng. he is our new investor,â director zhou introduced with a smile. âceo meng, this is gu ran. sheâs playing the role of our female lead, zhou yao.â
âhello, miss gu.â mengxing extended his hand.
gu ran glanced at him and politely reached out to shake his hand. they quickly separated.
âdirector zhou, can i take a look around?â
âyes, yes, of course. this way, please.â
director zhou left with mengxing, while the makeup artist gestured for gu ran to get her hair done.
halfway through the makeup, mengshen also came over and chatted casually with the makeup artist. after a while, he said, âi didnât expect someone to invest even though the production team has already started filming! i always thought that people only invested before filming!â
âthis kind of thing happens all the time. some investors are more cautious. they wonât act until they see success,â the makeup artist said with a smile.
âbut itâs good to have an investor. look, this new investor has just arrived, and heâs already rented us a separate dressing room and dressing room. furthermore, there is a designated dressing room for men and women. itâll be more convenient for everyone in the future.â
âthatâs right! weâll have a place to rest in the future. i heard that the food quality has also increased.â
gu ran lowered her head and flipped through the magazine in her hand. she heard their conversation and smiled sarcastically..
