âYour agent told me.â Gu Yusheng turned the steering wheel and made a smooth turn. He continued, âLast, lastâ¦â
That day, she had said she was shopping with her agent. However, he had run into her agent celebrating her fatherâs birthday.
It was already in the past. He didnât need talk about it anymore. He didnât have to confront her lie.
Gu Yusheng forced the word âweekendâ down and changed it to, âWhich day of the week was it? I forgot. Anyway, I saw her.â
Qin Zhiâaiâs agent was a woman. He was worried she would misunderstand and think that he talked too much to other women. To prove his innocence, he added, âI chatted with her shortly.â
After explaining, Gu Yusheng looked a little distant. âI thought she wouldnât dare to give you a hard time. I didnât think she dared toâ¦â
As he talked, he grabbed his cell phone and started to search for a phone number.
Qin Zhiâai had no idea what had happened, so she was confused to hear what he was saying. âWho are you talking about?â Qin Zhiâai asked.
Gu Yusheng didnât answer her. He pressed dial on the phone and raised it to his ear. After a few seconds, someone must have picked up the call. Gu Yusheng went directly to the point. âDidnât I ask you to cut Lin Yiâs role as much as you could? I changed my mind. I want her to be replaced.â
Cut Lin Yiâs role and replace her?
Qin Zhiâai was perplexed to hear this. She fluttered her eyelashes for a while before she realized what had happened.
Because of an investor, Lin Yi had taken many of Liang Doukouâs lines. It had been handled later on, though. A few days before, she had heard from someone that Lin Yiâs role had been cut to a quarter of what it originally was, as insignificant as a minor supporting role. She had thought it was just a rumor. She hadnât thought Gu Yusheng was behind it. He even wanted to replace Lin Yi at this moment.
Zhou Jing had already used Gu Yusheng to put Lin Yi down. If Lin Yi was replaced, wouldnât it be what Zhou Jing wanted?
Qin Zhiâai didnât have any idea how to deal with this. She reached her hand out and grabbed the phone from Gu Yushengâs hand. She hung up the call without thinking.
The car went back to silence after Gu Yusheng stopped talking on the phone. Qin Zhiâai realized it had been a daring move to hang up Gu Yushengâs call. She swallowed hard and glanced at Gu Yusheng. She saw he wasnât mad and said in a low pitch, âDonât replace Lin Yi.â
After pausing for a second, Qin Zhiâai found a good excuse for it. âI want to beat her with my acting skills in this show. If you replace her, I wonât be able to do that.â
After Qin Zhiâai had just finished talking, Gu Yushengâs cell phone rang. She instinctively looked down to check the phone. It was a text from Lu Bancheng: âAre you sure you want to replace Lin Yi?â
Qin Zhiâai shook her head like a rattle.
Gu Yusheng was secretly happy to see her acting so cute. He curled down his lips and grabbed the phone from her hand. He typed ânoâ quickly on the phone in front of her and sent it.
Upon seeing the âno,â Qin Zhiâai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled with her eyes at Gu Yusheng.
Her eyes were so clear in the sunset that shone against her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yusheng was driving, but his heart seemed to have missed a beat. He was half in wonder as he looked at her smiling face.
