CHAPTER 226-250
Chapter 226: Mission Impossible
Fu Shiyi and Gu Weiwei shared the same car going to the hotel, from the airport.
The moment they climbed into the car, Fu Shiyi asked the assistant for a paper and pen, and started writing something.
Gu Weiwei looked out of the window and she felt very sad at the view of the West Capital of A Land.
The car drove for more than an hour before they finally arrived at the hotel booked by the film crew.
Before they left the car, Fu Shiyi gave her the note he had written.
“What is it?”
Gu Weiwei glanced at it and refused to take it.
“Words to keep my brother happy! I have even written the lines you should say. When he calls, read those lines.”
She was definitely not going to keep his brother happy without any guidance.
Therefore, he must make preparations for her.
“I don’t think I need it.”
The instinct told her that the paper had nothing good on it.
“Then how would you keep my brother happy?” Fu Shiyi asked curiously.
“…”
Gu Weiwei gritted her teeth and took the notes he had prepared for her.
It was definitely an impossible mission to keep that man happy.
The moment she stepped into the hotel room, Fu Hanzheng’s call came through.
Fu Hanzheng sounded a bit cold. “You ran into the Gu Family today?”
Hearing the voice, Gu Weiwei realized that he was displeased, just as Fu Shiyi had said he would be.
“Mr. Gu and Movie Queen Ling attended the film festival and I was introduced to them by a director. Today, we happened to be on the same flight.”
“I will ask Xu Qian to book the next flight from A Land and you must come home.”Fu Hanzheng said with a low voice.
They were just doing the promotion for the movie and that was not something he cared about but she had happened to end up in the Gu Family’s territory and she even got to know Gu Siting.
He was not going to be assured if she stayed one more minute in the West Capital.
“But we still have a film promotion plan in the afternoon and I am leaving for home tonight!”
She had just got off the plane and now she was asked to return home straightaway. Was it really so serious?
Fu Hanzheng’s voice turned cold – leaving no space for her to negotiate.
“Didn’t I tell you not to talk with anyone from the Gu Family before you left?”
“But I didn’t do it on purpose! Why are you yelling at me?” Gu Weiwei complained with a small voice.
Fu Hanzheng realized that he was not speaking to her in a proper tone, so he became a bit gentle.
“I am not yelling at you, I just feel that you are not safe there.”
Gu Weiwei just could not think of a way to please him, so she went searching for the lines that Fu Shiyi gave to her.
The moment she opened it, she almost collapsed.
[For some reason, I dream about you when I slumber and think of you when I am awake.]
[When the sun shines, I miss the warmth of your arms. When the breeze brushes by, I miss your kisses. I miss you so desperately.]
[If I had known that I would have missed you so, I would have given you the most, sweetest, kiss before I left.]
[Every day when I am away from home, I miss your smile and your arms. I hope that I can have you next to me when I sleep.]
….
Damn Fu Shiyi!
What in the hell had he written? Those weren’t words that were spoken by human beings!
“I… I…”
Gu Weiwei gazed at the paper, finding it impossible to utter a single word.
Hearing her stumbling over her words, Fu Hanzheng asked, “What is it?”
“I am thinking about how to make you happy.” Gu Weiwei admitted bitterly.
“Make me happy?”
Gu Weiwei sat down and sighed in distress.
“Third Master said that if you ever learnt about me meeting with the Gu Family, you will get angry and make me leave A Land, or even stop me from making any more movies… So I am wondering how I can make you happy.”
Fu Hanzheng chuckled. “No need to think anymore.”
“Ah?” Gu Weiwei was startled.
Fu Hanzheng answered, “You have already made me happy, no need to think about it anymore.”
He was already happy enough because she wanted to make him happy.
Chapter 227: Sleep with Me
Hearing his words, Gu Weiwei tossed the paper into the dustbin.
“So I don’t need to go home now?”
Fu Hanzheng said, “Just because I am happy does not necessarily mean that you are not coming home.”
Gu Weiwei felt helpless and started to beg for mercy.
“I slept for only three or four hours and I have not eaten any lunch yet…”
“Eat at the airport, and I will pick you up when you arrive.” Fu Hanzheng did not allow her to turn him down.
Gu Weiwei sighed. It seemed that he was not happy enough.
So she made up her mind and said, “I miss you.”
Fu Hanzheng stayed silent for a moment and said, “What?”
“I miss you!”
Fu Hanzheng chuckled lowly. “Oh, really? In what way?”
Squatting by the dustbin, Gu Weiwei picked up the notes that Fu Shiyi wrote and read one of them aloud forcefully.
“I miss your smile and your arms. I hope that you can sleep next to me.”
Having read those words, she found that she had goosebumps.
Fu Hanzheng said, “If you miss me, come home then.”
Gu Weiwei crumbled up the paper and fiercely tossed it back into the dustbin.
Fu Shiyi was dumb-headed! The lines he wrote were all about how much she missed him.
Fu Hanzheng would just ask her to go home as soon as possible in response.
“In three hours the promotional event will start. I will go home tomorrow, honestly!”
Fu Hanzheng asked her “Why are you not coming back if you miss me so?”
Gu Weiwei laughed dryly. “Work is very important.”
“So I am not important?”
Gu Weiwei replied with her teeth clenched, “You are important too.”
“Then come home.” Fu Hanzheng went back to his original suggestion.
“Stop trapping me.” Gu Weiwei said furiously.
Fu Hanzheng said, “Then you don’t really miss me that much.”
Gu Weiwei just could not stand it any more, so she said straightforwardly, “Fu Hanzheng, if you keep making an unreasonable fuss right now, I will go and kiss the blonde European guy opposite my room!”
Fu Hanzheng said, “Baby, go to the airport and Shiyi will explain it to the crew.”
“I will go and knock on his door if you don’t say yes to me.” Gu Weiwei said.
A minute later, Fu Hanzheng said, “The guy opposite you is gone now.”
Gu Weiwei rushed to the door, only to see the hotel staff leaving with the European guy opposite her in a hurry, they were heading towards the elevator.
“Now, get packed and there will be a car waiting for you at the hotel to drive you to the airport.”
Gu Weiwei sighed deeply and said in an unfriendly tone, “You can drive away the guy opposite me, but there are other people in the hotel and there are so many men on the street too. If you keep making such an unreasonable fuss, I will run away with anyone I can catch.”
What was he doing when he promised that he would not interfere with her job?
“Weiwei!”
Fu Hanzheng’s voice sank.
“Say yes, or I will go out right now.”
Gu Weiwei said as she pulled open the room door.
Fu Hanzheng took a deep breath. “You don’t have to come home now.”
Gu Weiwei soon showed a smile and said, as she closed the door, “That is exactly right, why bother to start a fight?”
Fu Hanzheng compromised, not because he could not win the argument but because his care for her spoke louder than anything else.
“If you are not coming home now, you must return tonight after work.” Fu Hanzheng stressed.
Gu Weiwei nodded and made a promise.
“I will, definitely! As soon as the promotional event finishes, I will rush home!”
“You must stay within five meters of Shiyi.” Fu Hanzheng reminded her.
“Of course, now can you be less worried?”
Gu Weiwei let out a sigh of relief and poured herself a glass of water.
Fu Hanzheng said, “I will sleep with you when you come home.”
Gu Weiwei spit out a mouthful of water and wiped her mouth with the paper towel.
“Well… we can talk about it later.”
She just could not believe that what he meant by ‘sleeping with her’ was the innocent surface meaning.
Chapter 228: Invitation
After the conversation with Fu Hanzheng, her agent asked her to go downstairs for lunch.
After lunch, Jolin brought the makeup artist and the assistant to the room and started to do the makeup for the promotional event taking place in the afternoon.
The moment the makeup was done, the executive producer came in with a bag of things.
“Weiwei, this is coffee and your dress.”
“We already have a dress.” Jolin said.
He had a makeup artist with him, and he had already made a plan for the dress and the makeup for the entire day. He did not need any dresses from the crew.
The executive producer smiled awkwardly and said shyly, “Weiwei, you are a pretty girl, but Li Xing’er is the lead character of the movie. You will steal the show if you dress so prettily. So, could you please… you know…”
Mu Weiwei was a very young and pretty girl who was much better than Li Xing’er, in both looks and manner.
She was definitely going to steal the show when they were in the same frame but she was only the supporting actress and so she must not stand out.
Jolin brought out the clothes from the bag, as well as a pair of black-frame glasses, and tossed them onto the sofa speechlessly.
“So you mean she needs to become ugly just to make Li Xing’er stand out?”
“Not become ugly, just not that exquisitely-dressed.” The executive producer said with embarrassment.
“You can just have plastic surgery if you are not good-looking, why must we obey her rules?” Jolin said ruthlessly.
She was not good-looking and so she complained that his own girl was too pretty?
“Agent Jolin, we are doing this for the movie, please, work with us…”
“We…”
“Jolin!” Gu Weiwei stopped her agent, stood up and said, “Don’t put the crew into an awkward position! The promotion should focus upon the two lead roles.”
The executive producer wiped off the sweat on his forehead and thanked her endlessly.
Jolin said, “This must be Li Xing’er’s stupid idea! Why must we obey them?”
“She is the lead role of the movie and won’t I attract mean comments if I stand out too much?”
Gu Weiwei brought out the outfits the executive producer gave to her and got changed in the bathroom.
When she came out, she looked like a nerdy student dressed in casual clothes.
Jolin rolled his eyes out of anger.
She had a pair of nice eyes but the glasses covered them up, making her look nerdy.
Li Xing’er, on the other hand, was dressed in a small white gown at the event, looking innocent and cute.
Gu Weiwei spent the entire time trying to make Li Xing’er stand out.
Fu Shiyi was a good-looking, skilled singer and dancer, who kept interacting with the audience.
He and Li Xing’er were cooperating well with each other and the effect turned out to be unexpectedly great.
The moment the event finished, Fu Shiyi proudly asked her for praise.
“How is it? My lines must have worked pretty well right? My brother must have become so moved.”
“Damn you, I almost got sent back!” Gu Weiwei rolled her eyes at him.
Fu Shiyi said, “My lines are so passionately-written, but they didn’t work?”
Gu Weiwei removed her glasses and urged him, “Let’s just go back as soon as possible and after dinner we can head to the airport.”
She was always on her edge when she was here, and she needed to leave as soon as possible.
It was, after all, not the right time for her to deal with Ling Yan yet.
The moment they returned to the hotel, Kuroda Shio and two of his men, who had been waiting for them at the hotel, greeted them.
“Miss. Mu, Mr. Gu has invited you to dinner.”
Gu Weiwei stayed silent for a moment and said, “Thank you for your invitation, but we need to catch a plane and go home.”
Kuroda Shio slightly lowered his head and threatened her.
“Miss. Mu, Mr. Gu has been waiting for you for a long time. If you miss the dinner, you may not be able to leave this place.”
Chapter 229: Suspicion
It was an invitation and also a threat.
The Gu Family were nobility in A Land and the royal family received economic support from the Gu Family, every single year.
So stopping them from leaving the country was simply a piece of cake for the Gu Family.
It was something that Gu Weiwei knew clearly about but why was he setting up a meeting with her?
It could not be because her name resembled that of Gu Weiwei’s.
Or was there suspicion that arose within his mind?
Hearing the words, Fu Shiyi stopped her and said “You are not allowed to go.”
After she ran into Gu Siting, his brother had become extremely nervous already.
Now that Gu man was inviting her over for dinner, his brother would become extremely annoyed if he learnt about it.
Seeing the scene, Li Xing’er stepped forward and tried to persuade them.
“Third Master, Mr. Gu is showing us kindness by inviting us to dinner, it is just a dinner, right?”
Mu Weiwei was out seducing all kinds of men wherever she went with that foxy-looking face of hers.
Now even the prestigious Gu Siting, the president of Gu’s Enterprise, was hooked as well.
And what was she now pretending for when she was invited?
Everyone else from the crew could get some benefits if they all tagged along.
After all, not everyone was able to meet a man like Gu Siting.
Fu Shiyi glared at Kuroda Shio with arms crossed. “We from the Fu Family are never going to keep anyone from the Gu Family company for dinner.”
Kuroda Shio thought for a while and said, “As long as Miss. Mu wants it, Yaoshi Media is always open for her.”
Yi An stepped forward and tried to persuade her too.
“Weiwei, it is just a dinner, let your agent go with you.”
He had no idea how Gu Siting got to know her or why he was forcing her to eat dinner with him but if she was not going, then none of them would be able to leave tonight and the promotional plan would be ruined.
“Or, I can keep you company.” Li Xing’er stepped forward and said.
Gu Weiwei stayed silent for a while and finally came to compromise.
“I will get changed upstairs.”
She had not predicted that Gu Siting would send his men to find her again.
Otherwise she would have left A Land this afternoon, just as what Fu Hanzheng had suggested.
Fu Shiyi followed her upstairs and got very anxious.
“You are really going?”
“We won’t be able to leave today if I do not attend the dinner.”
Fu Shiyi followed her into the room and said straightforwardly, “I can call my brother and he will help us to get out of here.”
Gu Weiwei countered. “This is a matter that can be solved with just one meal so why make a big fuss out of it?”
She knew pretty well how powerful the Gu Family could get in A Land.
Fu Shiyi said, “If my brother ever knows about it…”
Gu Weiwei went into the bathroom and got changed quickly as she said calmly,
“Go to your brother’s bodyguards and tell them not to report anything before we leave the country.”
Fu Shiyi shook his head constantly. “If my brother knows about it, I will be dead.”
Gu Weiwei said, “So you want to make sure that the only thing we can do, is sneak out of the country?”
Fu Hanzheng might be able to get them and everyone else out of this place but if they were stopped from leaving this place, the only thing they could do was to sneak out of here.
“Then… what if my brother knows about it…”
Gu Weiwei said, “I will deal with it.”
Fu Shiyi nodded and asked his men to obey his orders.
After they had gotten changed, they met again in the lobby.
Li Xing’er was already waiting for them in a luxurious dress in the lobby and she stepped forward with a smile.
“Director Yi is worried about you, so he asked me to go with you.”
Kuroda Shio asked Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi to step into the car and stopped Li Xing’er who had one foot inside the car. He shut the door and said, “I am sorry, only Miss. Mu is our guest.”
Chapter 230: Dinner with Gu Siting
On the outskirts of the West Capital, evening had come.
There was a luxurious European-style mansion that stood out clearly against the evening glow of the sun.
In the study, Gu Siting had been sitting there for over an hour, watching two videos that played repeatedly on the computer.
One of the videos was of Gu Weiwei ballet dancing in school and the other was her playing the piano against Zhou Linna.
The butler knocked at the door and asked, as he stepped in, “Sir, Miss. Ling asks when the dinner shall start?”
Gu Siting checked the time. “They are not here yet?”
“They just called and said that they are on their way.”
Gu Siting nodded without saying anything more as he continued to watch the videos.
The butler asked out of curiosity, “What are you watching, Sir?”
Gu Siting let out a long sigh as he watched the girl playing the piano.
“I don’t know what I want to find from her.”
The butler did not ask anything more and went to check on the dinner preparations instead.
Half an hour later, Kuroda Shio brought them into the mansion and came to the study.
“Sir, the guests are here.”
Gu Siting switched off the video on his computer, got up and left the study to go downstairs.
Gu Weiwei was sitting in the living room anxiously. The familiar environment had made her distressed and anxious.
She had not even noticed that Gu Siting had come downstairs.
Gu Siting smiled and said, “Miss. Mu, I don’t mean any harm. I am just apologizing for what I did yesterday.”
“Mr. Gu, you have already expressed your apology.”
Gu Siting said, “But you did not use the check.”
Fu Shiyi turned an astonished look at the girl next to him.
What on earth had happened between her and Gu Siting?!
Why was he asking her to dinner and giving her a check?
And, that bodyguard even told her to join Yaoshi Media!
Damn, this Gu person was not trying to steal her from his brother, was he?
“It was just a misunderstanding.”
Gu Weiwei looked calm and peaceful.
The moment she walked into the room, she realized that nothing about her remained.
Most of the things were now Ling Yan’s.
Any old traces of her living here previously had been removed, just as if it had always been Ling Yan who had lived here all along.
After she had finished speaking, Ling Yan came downstairs wearing a plain-looking dress and took the seat next to Gu Siting.
“Nice to see you again, Miss. Mu.”
The butler and the servants started to serve the dishes, each of which were all exquisite French food made by highly skilled chefs.
“Miss. Ling said that I look like your best friend Gu Weiwei, where is she anyways?”
Gu Weiwei showed a light smile, concealing all of her hidden emotions.
“She…” Ling Yan’s smile stiffened.
“Eat first, the food will taste bad if it gets cold.”
Having said these words, Gu Siting picked up his knife and fork and started to eat.
Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi exchanged a look and picked up their knives and forks too, hoping that they could leave as soon as the food was finished.
Gu Siting picked up the red wine and sipped it as he asked, “Miss. Mu, have you ever thought about starting a career here in A Land?”
“Have you asked me for permission before you try to steal her away?” Fu Shiyi snorted.
Gu Siting raised an eyebrow as he asked Gu Weiwei, “Boyfriend?”
Gu Weiwei sipped on the wine without saying a word.
If she nodded, Fu Hanzheng would be displeased.
If she shook her head, Gu Siting would easily understand that she was related to Fu Hanzheng in some way, especially when Fu Shiyi became so anxious about his behavior.
Gu Siting sized up the two of them, seemingly believing that she was Fu Shiyi’s girlfriend after all.
“Miss. Mu plays the piano quite well.”
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips – it seemed that she had been investigated.
What was he up to anyways?
Gu Siting swirled the wine in the glass slightly and said, “Could you play one song for us here, Miss. Mu?”
Chapter 231: Bastard
Gu Weiwei’s hands that held the knife and fork shook slightly. However, a peaceful smile still hovered over her face.
“It seems that Mr. Gu did not actually invite me to dinner, but instead brought me here to play the piano.”
Gu Siting pointed at the classical piano not so far away and said, “Liebestraume by Franz Liszt.”
“Can we choose another song, this is one that I don’t play very well.”
It was a song that she used to play for him when they were together… but now, even though he was with Ling Yan, he was still asking her to play this song for them.
“The music score is on the piano.”
Holding his wineglass in his hand, Gu Siting waited for her to start.
Ling Yan glanced at Gu Siting and said, “Brother Siting, that piano…”
That piano was something he had never allowed anyone to touch before and he would always dust it himself.
Gu Siting took a glance at the red wine in his glass and said calmly, “I haven’t heard the sound of piano for a very long time, in this house.”
Ling Yan’s expression changed, as she picked up her glass and took a sip.
Gu Weiwei was the only one who played the piano in the house before.
He had removed everything of hers when she was gone, except for this piano.
Gu Weiwei put down her knife and fork and was about to get up when Fu Shiyi grabbed her arm.
“Don’t play anything for him!”
She had not played anything for his brother, so why must she play something for this man?
Damn the Liebestraume, just let him carry on daydreaming!
“We will leave after I finish playing.”
Having said this, Gu Weiwei stood up and walked towards the white piano that she was so familiar with.
She opened the music score, tried a little of the melody to warm up and started to play the song.
The first section of Liebestraume was sweet and soft, romantic and full of love whilst the second section had an intensive melody, active and exciting; just like how the maiden felt when confessing to her lover. The third section was full of lingering dreams.
It was a song about how one person confessed his love to the other, and she had played it numerous times to Gu Siting, but this time, she was feeling something different.
Ling Yan watched the girl, who had started to play the piano, sitting there and heard the familiar melody echoing across the room.
She watched and seemed to have caught a glimpse of an outline, of that girl she knew so well, again.
Then the hand that held her glass shook and the wineglass slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Gu Siting glanced sideways and said, “What is it?”
With her hands over her heart, Ling Yan said with a pale face, “My heart aches a little… Maybe it is because I am thinking of Weiwei.”
Feeling nervous, Gu Siting helped her up and said, “Butler, call the doctor.”
A touch of mockery flashed across Gu Weiwei’s eyes as she stopped playing.
She had dug out her heart, so of course she was feeling unwell whilst she watched her play the song she used to play.
“Mr. Gu, it is quite late, can we leave now?”
Gu Siting asked the butler to help Ling Yan upstairs and sized up Gu Weiwei discreetly.
“So Miss. Mu is not thinking about coming to our company?”
“No.” Gu Weiwei said coldly.
She was not sure what he wanted from her but he already had Ling Yan. Was he still looking for a substitute for Gu Weiwei?
Gu Siting, you are such a bastard!
Without asking further, Gu Siting said, “If you ever change your mind, contact us anytime you want.”
Fu Shiyi rolled his eyes. With his brother present, this man was never going to have his dream realized.
Gu Weiwei smiled and said nothing in return.
“See them off.”
Gu Siting then turned away and went upstairs to check on Ling Yan.
Kuroda Shio came and opened the door for them.
“Please, Miss. Mu.”
Gu Weiwei stepped out of the Gu Family household and threw a look at the room on the second floor, whilst she was in the car.
The room that used to belong to her was now where Ling Yan resides.
She had a bad habit – she did not like it when someone else touched her things.
Therefore, the man that had been touched by Ling Yan, was not someone she would cherish any more.
Chapter 232: Sleeping
When they went back to the hotel, there was very little time left before their flight took off.
They packed up in their own rooms and joined the crew members before they all headed towards the airport together.
Since Li Xing’er was not allowed to tag along to the Gu Family’s mansion, she had not shown a nice expression towards them at all.
When Fu Shiyi was waiting for the boarding call, he whispered to her in a low voice, “How did you meet Gu Siting last time, anyways?”
Whatever Gu Siting did today was not normal at all; she was also not behaving normally today either.
Instead of concealing anything from him, she said straightforwardly, “They were trying to catch someone last night but took me instead. Then I called Jolin and asked him to pick me up from there.”
“Oh damn! Why didn’t you tell me anything? It was serious!” Fu Shiyi said furiously.
“So you can tell your brother too?” Gu Weiwei squinted at him.
Fu Shiyi touched his nose guiltily and asked, “How do you plan to tell my brother about it?”
Gu Weiwei said, “I’ll tell him the truth.”
Lying to Fu Hanzheng was not going to work – he was going to find out about it by himself, anyways.
So telling the truth from the start was the best solution.
Fu Shiyi reminded her. “You said that you will deal with my brother if he gets angry.”
Gu Weiwei nodded nonchalantly and said, “I know, you can tell him now.”
“Then I will…”
Gu Weiwei glanced at Fu Shiyi and pleaded with him, “Can you leave me alone for a second?”
Fu Shiyi pursed his lips, picked up his phone and called his brother to tell him about what had happened.
Gu Weiwei put on her sunglasses, leaned against the chair and felt very troubled.
That was a place she had lived in for more than twenty years and of course the return had stirred something up inside her.
She no longer owned a space in that house.
She might not hate Gu Siting, but she did feel saddened.
They waited for more than an hour before boarding the plane, to go back home.
She had been feeling very nervous after meeting Gu Siting and Ling Yan at the Shengxi Town film festival but she did not feel relaxed for a moment, even after returning and joining the crew members.
When they came to the hotel, Fu Shiyi was still staying next to her.
Before they reached their respective doors, he reminded her again.
“You said that you will deal with him, don’t drag me down.”
His brother did not sound very pleased when they were exchanging words at the airport.
The moment Gu Weiwei entered the room, she locked the door and felt so relieved that she no longer had to be on edge.
She did not come back to herself until she had sat on the sofa for a long time.
She had thought that Fu Hanzheng would call her and lecture her after he learnt the news but no call had come even past midnight.
So he was really pissed then?
She could not fall asleep and instead picked up the phone, wondering if she should make a phone call to him and explain.
After all, if she had taken his advice and left at lunchtime, the incident that happened later on that night would not have happened.
What was more, they did not tell him a single thing until they had left.
After a long time of contemplation, she still made the phone call.
The call had just gone through when the doorbell rang.
“Fu Hanzheng, wait a moment, someone is at the door.”
She said with a quiet voice, she rolled off the bed and headed towards the door.
When she opened the door, the person on the other side turned out to be the noble-looking man she was talking to on the phone; he was holding his phone by his ear.
Gu Weiwei blinked in astonishment. “What… are you doing here?”
Fu Hanzheng ended the call and entered the room.
“I came to keep you company in bed.”
Chapter 233: Sleep Together
“…”
Gu Weiwei shut the door and threw an anxious look at him.
No wonder he was not calling her… he showed up at the door in person!
Fu Shiyi must have told him before he boarded the plane and then he must have flown directly here after receiving Fu Shiyi’s call.
Fu Hanzheng glanced at her. “You told me yesterday that you miss me, but now you are so displeased to see me?”
Gu Weiwei stepped forward, looking like a child who was ready to get lectured.
“Just scold me in whichever way you want, and I will listen carefully.”
Fu Hanzheng swept the girl into his arms and kissed the top of her head softly.
“Who told you that I am here to lecture you?”
Gu Weiwei looked up at him. “Then what are you doing here?”
“I am here to keep you company in bed.” Fu Hanzheng said and gave her another kiss on the forehead.
When he heard the news, he couldn’t help but to be worried, so he decided to come and visit her overnight.
Gu Weiwei wrapped her arms around his waist as she leaned her face against his chest.
“Then let me hold you for a while first.”
She had been very nervous during the past two days and Fu Hanzheng’s hug had completely healed her.
Fu Hanzheng lowered his head and looked at her in astonishment, looking happy.
This girl had never offered to hug him before, but today, she was being very voluntary.
Gu Weiwei did not release him until a few minutes had passed.
“What will happen to your work tomorrow, if you are here now?”
She heard from Fu Shiyi that they had been very busy these days.
Especially when Fu Shiqin had been dispatched to Africa which meant that he had to deal with many things in person.
“I’m ot very busy tomorrow lunchtime.”
Fu Hanzheng removed his suit, tossed himself onto the sofa and summoned her.
“Come, I have got something to ask you.”
“You are not here to lecture me, are you?”
“Just come here.” Fu Hanzheng repeated.
Gu Weiwei sighed and walked towards him. He was here to interrogate her anyways.
However, he suddenly took a hold of her so that she ended up sitting down on his thighs.
“How did you get to know Gu Siting?”
“We got to know each other after the film festival. They seem to be looking for someone and I happened to be in the neighbourhood, so they took me as the suspect but then released me, after they realized their mistake.”
Gu Weiwei told the story in a seemingly authentic way and also did not mention that she was caught in the Yuan Family’s house.
Fu Hanzheng’s lips pursed in thought – he did understand that Gu Siting was looking for someone from the Yuan Family.
“Then why did he invite you to his house?”
Gu Siting had been an arrogant person who never invited anyone to his home.
Gu Weiwei smiled innocently and said straightforwardly, “I am not sure either, but I believe that he has fallen for my beauty. You know, the gown you gave to me at the ceremony, made me too amazing.”
Fu Hanzheng sank his face. “Fallen for your beauty?”
“Yes, I think so. He asked me twice if I wanted to join him at Yaoshi Media. He must be thinking about bringing me there to sleep with me.” Gu Weiwei kept telling the ridiculous stories with her eyes open wide.
Gu Siting invited her over to the house, because he had looked her up or maybe it was because he had seen the video where she was playing the piano song by Franz Liszt, which she herself had always been skilled at.
However, he would never imagine that she had been reborn into Mu Weiwei after she had passed away.
Fu Hanzheng lowered his eyes and looked serious and cold.
“You have gained quite a lot of courage to ask Fu Shiyi and our men to conceal it from me.”
Her words sounded reasonable but he believed that there was something else he was not certain about.
Gu Weiwei just could not explain it anymore and instead yawned sleepily.
“I am tired, let’s sleep.”
Chapter 234: Sleep with You
Fu Hanzheng deepened his voice. “Finish the conversation!”
Gu Weiwei frowned too and complained.
“Are you here to keep me company in bed or not?”
Seeing her tired expression, Fu Hanzheng did not ask anything more.
He picked her up and placed her into bed, as he removed his tie by the bedside and asked, “So, what do you want me to do?”
Gu Weiwei snuck straight into the blanket and laughed dryly.
“I just want to stay in bed and sleep, not really with you…”
Fu Hanzheng lifted the blanket and threw himself into the bed and pulled her into his arms, smiling.
“But I want to sleep with you, not just lying in bed.”
Gu Weiwei moved her gaze with difficulty, away from his close-up handsome face.
“I had better… just sleep.”
He looked way too attractive.
Fu Hanzheng gave her a kiss on the forehead and sighed.
“Sleep.”
She did have good feelings towards him, but she had not fallen for him yet.
But he cherished her so much that he did not want to cause her any harm.
Gu Weiwei rubbed herself against his arms and suddenly a horrible idea popped into her mind.
What if… she was not Gu Weiwei.
But that was just a momentary idea which was soon taken over by the tiredness.
She had thought that she would again be met with constant nightmares, after meeting Gu Siting and Ling Yan, and her visit to the Gu Family’s mansion.
But with Fu Hanzheng around her, she slept very deeply.
Before the agent arrived to wake her up, Fu Shiyi had already visited them.
“It is me, open the door.”
Soon, the door opened.
It was not Gu Weiwei who opened the door, but Fu Hanzheng who had just taken a shower and had a towel around his waist.
Fu Shiyi glanced at his brother who had an even more perfect body than himself, wondering when he got the time to train himself into such a muscular man?
Fu Hanzheng looked at the man at the doorstep. “What is it?”
Fu Shiyi soon grabbed out the things he had prepared and said, with a flattering smile, “Here is the breakfast I bought for you two.”
It seemed that she must have kept his brother very happy.
Fu Hanzheng took it and slammed the door shut in Fu Shiyi’s face.
Then he came into the room and found that she was still sleeping, so he rubbed her nose.
“Weiwei?”
Drowsy, Gu Weiwei spotted a large peck and thought that she was dreaming.
“You look much better without clothes.”
Fu Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”
Hearing the voice, Gu Weiwei suddenly came back to herself and turned around.
“You… put on clothes!”
“Didn’t you say that I look much better without clothes.”
“I did not mean you.”
Fu Hanzheng lowered his voice. “Then who did you mean?”
“Okay, okay, it is you, put on the clothes.” Gu Weiwei felt helpless.
“Get up now and grab something to eat.” Fu Hanzheng said and went to put on the clothes.
Gu Weiwei got up, washed herself and saw breakfast on the table.
The two ate breakfast leisurely, after which, Fu Hanzheng started to deal with work over the phone whilst she got herself changed.
She put on her makeup and was ready to leave but before she left, she went to give Fu Hanzheng a hug.
Then she stood on her tiptoes and wanted to sneak a kiss from him, yet failed, due to the huge height difference.
The agent was urging him on the phone, so she gave up.
Just as she was about to leave through the door, Fu Hanzheng’s voice rose.
“Hang on!”
Then he silenced the phone.
“Come back now!”
Gu Weiwei turned around. “What is it?”
Fu Hanzheng approached her and cornered her against the door.
“You didn’t manage to kiss me, so now you are going to finish it.”
Chapter 235: Are You Sure?
Gu Weiwei laughed dryly. “I did not mean… to kiss you.”
With one hand leaning against the door, Fu Hanzheng chuckled.
“Then you can leave when you finish the kiss!”
Gu Weiwei’s phone rang again – her agent was urging her to leave the room as soon as possible.
So she said, as she stared at this amazingly-attractive man, “You are far too tall for me to kiss you!”
Fu Hanzheng smiled as he lowered his head, looking very expectant.
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips, stood up on her tiptoes and lightly kissed his lips.
She was about to leave when the man took hold of her waist and deepened the kiss.
Her phone kept ringing and she was kissed by Fu Hanzheng for over two minutes, before she was released and allowed to open the door.
She had just walked out of the door when she ran into Jolin who had come upstairs, looking for her.
“Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!”
“Sorry, I was in the bathroom.”
Jolin pressed the button on the elevator and squinted at her.
“What is wrong with your face?”
Gu Weiwei flushed even deeper at his question.
“The radiator indoors is too hot, you know?”
She almost lost her breath because of the kiss and she felt lightheaded, almost as if she was floating in the air.
Since Li Xing’er did not like her, she ended up sharing the same car with Fu Shiyi.
The moment she got into the car, Fu Shiyi pulled down the partition that separated them from the driver.
“Honestly, have you kept my brother happy?”
“I… think so.” Gu Weiwei said.
After all, they had kissed, hugged and shared the same bed.
“Then why did he sell all of my sportcars?” Fu Shiyi glared at her furiously.
Gu Weiwei shrugged. “How would I know?”
Fu Shiyi gritted his teeth. “He is a fake brother! He prefers a girl to me! He forgets his brother when he has a girl! I will take revenge on him as soon as I have the opportunity!”
He had been creating the plans for him so that he could have Mu Weiwei over these last few days but he had then turned cold towards him just because he did not keep a constant eye on her in A Land.
“Are you sure you want to get yourself killed?” Gu Weiwei asked with a smile.
He and Fu Shiqin had never been able to win a battle against Fu Hanzheng.
Fu Shiyi snorted proudly. “Just wait and see, I always have a plan.”
Gu Weiwei said, “You want to end up in Africa like your brother?”
“I am much better than he is.”
Fu Shiyi gritted his teeth, looking sinister and calculative.
Gu Weiwei glanced out the window, thinking that her master and his family must have left A Land if they were not in Shengxi Town.
Then they must have hidden themselves in Hua Land instead.
A Land was the Gu Family ‘s territory and Fu Hanzheng’s forces would not be able to have a hold over there.
The same thing went for Hua Land, which was Fu Hanzheng’s territory, so if they wanted to hide away from Gu Siting, they would choose to stay in Hua Land.
However, Fu Hanzheng was looking for them too.
She must think of a way to contact them before Fu Hanzheng and Gu Siting finds them.
She would not be able to return to the Gu Family, but she might not truly find a home with Fu Hanzheng either.
He cherished her deeply but that was only because she was living in Mu Weiwei’s shell, whilst she was actually Gu Weiwei.
Would he love her as much when he found out who she really was?
She was just thinking this when her phone vibrated.
She swiped open the screen and found that Fu Hanzheng had just sent her a text.
[I am going home]
She stayed silent for a minute and replied.
[Have a safe trip]
Fu Shiyi squinted at her. “My brother has just left and yet you look so unwilling to let him go.”
She had looked quite happy a minute ago, just before she received the message. Now she looked so sad.
Gu Weiwei rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to explain anything.
Fu Shiyi squinted at her and asked curiously, “I am very curious – my brother is very willing to marry you, so why do you work so hard when you can just become the lady of the Fu Family?”
“I am not living just for the sake of being the lady of the Fu Family.” Gu Weiwei said.
When God had given her another chance, she was not going to live for just Fu Hanzheng.
Chapter 236: For the Hot Search List
When they returned from A Land, Li Xing’er sent a Weibo post online.
[West Capital Airport, an encounter with Ling Yan. She is so gentle and beautiful]
Then she attached a picture that was taken for her and Ling Yan, at the airport.
Ling Yan was the Movie Queen that had obtained numerous international film awards and showed up at the film festival because of the heart transplant operation.
That was the time when she had gained the most headlines and she barely took pictures with anyone, so Li Xing’er’s Weibo post had put herself up into the hot search list with the help of Ling Yan’s popularity.
Jolin snorted speechlessly.
“She really knows how to make herself popular.”
Xu threw a look at Gu Weiwei carefully. “Our Weiwei has been to the Gu Family, so if she reveals it as well, Li Xing’er will be totally put into the shadows.”
Jolin looked at her and asked, “Movie Queen Ling asked you to take a picture with her, why did you turn her down?”
“I am really not her fan.” Gu Weiwei said with a soft smile.
Without her help, Ling Yan would never have been able to make that movie.
At that time, she had felt sorry for her short life, so she tried to help her realize her dream.
She was really fascinated with acting but due to her identity, she was not allowed to become an actress.
That was why when she ran into Ling Yan, who hoped to become an actress, she decided to take great care of her.
She had a part in the script selection, filming and producing and the movie just happened to tell the story of a sick person who was fighting to live, so Ling Yan’s performance had moved numerous people.
She helped her to become the Movie Queen and realize her dreams of being an actress… Yet she had murdered her when she was dying and dug out her heart so that she herself could live on.
Ling Yan would have died without her, let alone become the Movie Queen.
“Anyways, if you really were her fan, Third Master would not be happy.” Jolin said.
The Fu Family and the Gu Family had never liked each other and Ling Yan was Gu Siting’s woman, so Third Master would have been extremely annoyed if she became Ling Yan’s fan.
Therefore, he himself did not ask her for a picture or an autograph, for the sake of keeping his job.
Xu was displeased. However, she was extremely annoyed with Li Xing’er because of what happened with the gown last time.
“Li Xing’er and Third Master are always at the centre of attention at the promotional events these days and Li Xing’er’s team are good at cooking up stories. Now everyone is looking forward to seeing her movie.”
“She is the lead role, it is normal that she is the center of attention.” Gu Weiwei smiled calmly.
“But we should do something, right? Everytime when we do the promotion, we are put into the shadows and Brother Jolin does not pay for any media stories either.” Xu was a bit annoyed.
Her own girl was much more beautiful than Li Xing’er and definitely more skilled in acting too.
However, Jolin was very calm. He said, as he checked over the schedule, “Why are you so anxious? The movie won’t be released until two days’ time.”
It was just some pre-show promotion and Li Xing’er was of course the key promoting figure as the lead role… But when the movie was released, the situation might be different.
“We will have missed the opportunity when the movie is released.” Xu complained.
Jolin folded the note and glared at the assistant.
“Whether an actress is qualified depends on her work. Don’t you trust Weiwei’s skills to show who the real star is, when the movie is released?”
He was not as short-sighted as Li Xing’er’s team who only cared about what happened right now.
He had made a promotional plan that was going to be used after the movie was released. He truly believed that with his girl’s looks and acting skills, she would definitely become the biggest and brightest star of the year.
Previously, he was able to make those unskilled actresses and actors become popular, so Weiwei was definitely not going to be a difficult problem at all.
Chapter 237: Jealousy on the Way
The last promotional event before the release of the film was at a university campus and took place after the university’s anniversary celebration event.
The plan was for Li Xing’er and the girls from the dance club to put on a show together, before then introducing herself and the rest of the crew members.
Then she would sing the theme song of the Long Wind with Fu Shiyi and interact with the students for the box office.
Since Li Xing’er had once starred in two teen dramas, she had obtained numerous fans.
However, Li Xing’er twisted her ankle on the day and did not tell the crew until she arrived at the campus.
“I am sorry, I thought that I could do it despite the injury, but now I really cannot.”
“Then what are we supposed to do? We promised the school.” The crew members were feeling helpless.
It was definitely not going to work out well if the fans were disappointed, at the promotional event.
The majority of the students in the dance club were actually Li Xing’er’s fans.
Li Xing’er apologized to the director and the distributor and then glanced at Gu Weiwei.
“What about letting Weiwei do the performance? It would be a great opportunity for her to show up a little, especially after Third Master and I have been taking over these days.”
Li Xing’er’s agent added. “If Xing’er gets injured even more when dancing, then the upcoming promotional event will not work either. Mu Weiwei is also part of the crew, so she can do the promotion too.
Jolin rolled his eyes speechlessly – did they really think that it would be a great opportunity for Weiwei to present herself in this way?
She twisted her ankle this afternoon but did not tell them about it until now. Weiwei simply had no time to practise.
They were not offering the opportunity to her, they were simply trying to embarrass her on the stage.
The distributor glanced at Gu Weiwei. “Weiwei, do you think that you can go up there?”
She also knew that it was going to be difficult for her to learn the dance and perform on stage at such a short notice.
“Sure, let’s leave now.” Gu Weiwei said cooperatively.
The chief guided her to the location and Jolin followed behind her.
“She is trying to embarrass you, what are you thinking?!”
“We are all doing this for the movie, right?” Gu Weiwei said.
Jolin sighed and gave up trying to persuade her.
“Go with the distributor, the assistant and I will follow up.”
Gu Weiwei followed the distributor to the dance club and when the girls saw that Li Xing’er was not here, they were all disappointed.
They kept asking about Li Xing’er’s injury instead of starting the practise with Gu Weiwei.
When the distributor did not know what to do, Jolin came with Fu Shiyi who was wearing a mask.
The moment Fu Shiyi removed his mask, all the girls screamed in excitement instead of caring about Li Xing’er anymore.
“I am sorry, Li Xing’er has hurt her ankle, so Mu Weiwei and we are practising with you girls now.” Fu Shiyi said as he asked the assistant and Jolin to put down the two bags they were carrying .
“Let’s do the practise and then when we finish we’ll have time to drink something together.”
When the girls heard the plan and thought of the possibility of drinking with Fu Shiyi, they all spared no effort to help Gu Weiwei.
They were very devoted and Gu Weiwei could learn things quickly, so within half an hour, they had finished the rehearsal.
Jolin watched them practising in satisfaction. Most of the girls were Li Xing’er’s fans, so when they knew that Li Xing’er was injured, they might not be able to focus and help Weiwei learn the routine.
But someone was always more attractive.
When Shiyi was here, they would never even think of Li Xing’er at all.
Seeing Gu Weiwei vibrantly dancing with the group of students in a mini-skirt, Fu Shiyi whispered something to his assistant.
The assistant left and did something else.
After the talk with the assistant, he said to Jolin, “Take a video of her dancing later on and send it to me.”
“Why?” Jolin glared at him cautiously.
“I need it for something else.”
Fu Shiyi smiled sinisterly – he was going to make his brother jealous.
Chapter 238: Constant Jealousy
Soon Gu Weiwei finished practising with the students of the dance club and they all took a picture with Fu Shiyi together.
Then they drank the milk tea and chatted for a while.
Fu Shiyi was asked to do an interview, so Gu Weiwei stayed with the students and made preparations for the performance.
Since they were of the same age and because she learnt so quickly, they were able to speak with Fu Shiyi. Because of this the girls had a wonderful impression of her.
Some of them had watched the fouetté of 32 turns online that she had performed and because they were dancers they could not help but be curious.
“How did you do it? I won’t be able to finish them after doing just a couple of turns.”
Gu Weiwei smiled and said straightforwardly, “It is mostly because I have good control of my leg muscles but after that time I could not walk for days.”
The girls chuckled and started to complain about the joys and the hardships they had gone through as dance students.
They suddenly felt that compared to their idol, who they could only see online, the girl who was able to chat with them turned out to be more lovely.
Before the performance started, Jolin asked the makeup artist to do all of their makeup and make them beautiful.
The host had announced the performance they were about to perform and
Gu Weiwei gave her dancers each a high five before they walked onto the stage from both sides.
As the music started, Gu Weiwei and her dancers started to dance to the beat.
The mini-skirt showed her long legs and her current style made her look sweet and cute, yet also youthful and dynamic.
Soon, the students in the audience were attracted to her.
Some of her fans told their friends excitedly, “Look, that is my idol Mu Weiwei, really, she is my idol!”
“Wow, she looks so pretty!”
….
Gu Weiwei and her dancers were performing a lovely but also sexy show, so that both the girls and boys in the audience were attracted to her.
Someone learnt that it was a promotional event for the Long Wind, and understood that she was Mu Weiwei who played Tang Shaoqi.
Some boys screamed loudly, “Who is the prettiest girl in the Long Wind? Mu Weiwei is the Goddess!”
“Mu Weiwei, I want to be your boyfriend!”
After the performance, she and her dancers bowed and she accepted the host’s microphone.
“Hello everyone, my name is Mu Weiwei. It should have been your goddess Li Xing’er standing right here today, but she has hurt her ankle so I had to take her place today. I apologise for my mediocre performance.”
The host took over the topic of conversation. “Weiwei looks to be almost the same age as the students, no?”
“I just celebrated my 19th birthday last month.” Gu Weiwei smiled.
Fu Shiyi, who was waiting for his turn on the back stage, was urging Jolin to send him the video.
[Did you finish the video? Send it to me, now!]
Jolin sent the video to Fu Shiyi speechlessly.
Fu Shiyi clicked it open and spoke highly of Jolin’s filming skill.
He had not only filmed Mu Weiwei on stage but also the boys who confessed their love to her in the audience.
On the stage, Mu Weiwei and the host had finished introducing the song Li Xing’er and Fu Shiyi were going to sing together.
Before Fu Shiyi went onto the stage, he sent the video to Fu Hanzheng who was far away in the capital.
[Brother, see how lovely your girlfriend looks today.]
With this line, he attached the video he had received from Jolin.
Of course, he did not mean to tell his brother how lovely his girlfriend really was but he wanted to show to his brother how much those boys were in love with his girlfriend.
As far as he knew, his brother would definitely be very jealous after seeing the video.
Well, he deserved the jealousy, because he had sold everything in his garage and all his sports cars.
He might not have been able to defeat him before, but now with Mu Weiwei around him, he was able to make his brother jealous all the time.
Chapter 239: Full of Jealousy
The promotional event that took place at the campus turned out to be successful.
Fu Shiyi’s and Li Xing’er’s fans were mostly young students and Gu Weiwei, who performed well and looked very pretty, had obtained a great many fans among the students too.
Gu Weiwei received Fu Hanzheng’s call on the way back.
“Where have you been today?”
Gu Weiwei could tell that he sounded slightly angry.
“At the university campus, didn’t I tell you about that yesterday?”
“You did not tell me that you were going to dance for those people.” Fu Hanzheng said with a low voice.
The moment he came home, he received the video that Fu Shiyi had sent to him.
In the video, she was dancing and posing on the stage, wearing a mini-skirt; she looked sweet and cute but suddenly, he saw a group of young male students screaming and confessing to her.
“That was a last minute decision. Did you see it?” Gu Weiwei asked with a small chuckle.
Fu Hanzheng gritted his teeth. “Yes, I did.”
Gu Weiwei frowned. “So you are… not happy?”
It was not his normal tone, what was the problem now?
Fu Shiyi, who was sitting next to her, felt his ears tingle as he caught their conversation and started to chuckle.
Hahaha, that man had gotten so jealous!
He was not as stupid as his second brother, to counter his eldest brother, right in his face when it came to revenge.
The best method was to strike him hard before he realized anything had happened.
He showed off his success to Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiqin soon texted him back.
[I have to tell you that if you make our brother jealous, you will end up being the person that suffers.]
[I fee so sorry for you!]
….
Fu Hanzheng stayed silent for a moment and countered.
“No.”
It would be very immature of him to get mad at her, just because of some youngsters who confessed to her but he did feel very jealous inwardly.
Gu Weiwei said, “You are unhappy!”
She did not displease him today, did she? So what was he doing talking with her in this way?
Fu Hanzheng took a deep breath and asked, “Is Fu Shiyi with you?”
Gu Weiwei glanced at Fu Shiyi. “Yes, he is.”
“Is he laughing?” Fu Hanzheng asked.
“Yes, he looks very delighted.” Gu Weiwei said truthfully.
Fu Hanzheng snorted. “Give him the phone, I need to tell him something.”
Gu Weiwei frowned curiously but still gave the phone to Fu Shiyi, who was humming gladly, next to her.
“Your brother wants to talk with you.”
Fu Shiyi’s humming ceased and he shivered as he took the phone from her.
“Hi, Brother, what can I do for you?”
Fu Hanzheng asked coldly, “What were your intentions in sending me the video?”
Fu Shiyi laughed dryly. “I am just showing you how my Sister-in-law is doing, okay?”
…It was not revenge or trying to make you jealous.
“On purpose?” Fu Hanzheng snorted.
“What on purpose?” Fu Shiyi played dumb.
Without asking anything more, Fu Hanzheng said straightforwardly,
“I just accidentally found out that you have a large shelf, holding lots of things, to still throw away.”
“Ahhhhhh….”
Fu Shiyi groaned painfully when he heard the words.
He did that on purpose!
Those garage kits were all limited editions and it had taken him ages before he managed to collect them all. Each of them were his cherished treasure.
Hearing his groaning sound, Fu Hanzheng felt much better.
“Now, give the phone back to her.”
Fu Shiyi gave the phone back to her helplessly and became more and more annoyed sitting in the car.
His treasure was going to be ruined by his brother again!
Gu Weiwei hung up and looked at Fu Shiyi who seemed to have become crazy.
What did his brother say to him that caused him to become so furious?
Chapter 240: Li Xing’er’s Move
When they went back to the hotel, Fu Shiyi was so furious that he finished three portions of food.
His agent could not stand to watch it anymore and said to him, “You have one more commercial to shoot next month and you need to stay fit! Don’t eat so much.”
With food stuffed in his mouth, he said, “My heart is broken, and you are still stopping me from eating anything?”
His agent Luo Jiaming complained speechlessly.
“To hell with your broken heart, you looked so happy this afternoon.”
Gu Weiwei felt her forehead. After he finished the conversation with his brother, he had become unwell.
What did Fu Hanzheng say to him so that his own younger brother, had turned crazy?
Sometimes, she even suspected that Fu Shiyi and Fu Shiqin were not his real brothers.
Instead of watching Fu Shiyi wolfing down the food, Jolin finished his meal and accompanied Gu Weiwei back to the room.
“You do not need to get up early tomorrow morning. There will be an interview in the afternoon and the premiere will take place in the evening.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”
Gu Weiwei nodded, went back to her room, washed herself up and went to bed.
After lunch, the main cast of the crew rushed to the local TV station, where they were getting ready for the interview.
She threw a look at the script and realized that she only needed to answer a couple of questions. After all, the two main leading roles and the director were the focus of the interview.
Fu Shiyi and Li Xing’er were the first ones on the stage. They introduced themselves and talked a little bit about the movie that would be released soon and then sat down onto the sofa, ready for the interview.
Gu Weiwei and Yi An were watching and waiting for them in the audience as they did the interview.
Host: I heard that Shiyi turned down the supporting role in a Hollywood blockbuster, just to play Gu Changfeng. What made you do that?
Fu Shiyi: I like this role a great deal.
Yi An showed a speechless smile.
He came to steal the role just because he had got an impromptu idea, yet now he talked about it as if he did it for a proper reason.
The host continued by asking him, “Do you feel sorry to have lost such a great opportunity with Hollywood?
Fu Shiyi: Nope, Gu Changfeng has always been a role I would like to play.
Although he did it only because he wanted to suck up to his sister-in-law. However, he was not allowed to tell the truth.
After a few more questions with Fu Shiyi, the host turned to Li Xing’er instead.
Host: So Xing’er has always been involved in TV-series, so what is the difference between being in a movie and being in a TV-series?”
Li Xing’er: I feel that I have picked up many things I did not know about before and I need to put in more effort when acting.
Host: The two TV-series with Xing’er have received high audience ratings and I believe that you are a skilled actress, so I look forward to seeing you in the movie.
Li Xing’er: I also hope that my fans can see a different side of me in the Long Wind.
After a few more questions about the movie, the host started to ask her about her private affairs, which was a way to attract the audiences to the interview program.
Host: I heard that Xing’er has already got a boyfriend.
Li Xing’er smiled bashfully. “Yes, I have got one.”
Host: How did you get to know each other?
Li Xing’er smiled sweetly. “We have known each other for years, we are childhood friends.”
Host: So Xing’er’s mother remarried right, how is your current father treating you now?”
Li Xing’er: He treats me like his own daughter. Mom and dad used to be a couple but due to some private reasons, they started different families individually. But years later, my mother was divorced and dad’s wife passed away too, so they realized that they still loved each other and got together again.
Gu Weiwei sneered.
In order to cover up her own identity as the love child of Li Jiacheng and Zhou Meiqin, she even dared to claim that she was not Li Jiacheng’s real daughter to the public.
Li Xing’er was trying very hard to establish a great image for herself.
Chapter 241: Ungrateful People
Hearing what Li Xing’er said, the host smiled mysteriously.
“I believe that your parents do love you deeply and support your acting journey, because… they are here.”
Li Xing’er glanced at the direction the host pointed in and sure enough, she found Zhou Meiqin and Li Jiacheng were seated among the audience.
Excited, she rushed off the stage and put on a family gathering show in front of the audience and the camera.
Li Xing’er cried so hard that the tears smudged her makeup, and she did not return to the stage until a long while later.
“Due to the tight schedule, I have been flying across the world and catching up with work after the filming. I have not been home for almost three months.”
The host passed her some tissues and consoled her.
“Mr. Li and Mrs. Li miss their daughter a great deal too, so they flew all the way here from the capital city just to see you and support you at the premiere.”
Li Xing’er looked at her parents down in the audience with tears in her eyes and said, between sobs, “I am really grateful to my parents. They have been so important for my career.”
Then, she said that Wei Ziting had been her childhood friend and told the story of how her parents, who had actually been having an affair when they were still married, loved each other deeply.
Sitting in the audience, Gu Weiwei did not even turn around to look at Li Jiacheng and Zhou Meiqin, when she heard their names.
Standing behind her, Jolin threw a look at Li Jiacheng and Zhou Meiqin whilst patting her shoulders worriedly.
“Weiwei?”
He understood clearly what that family had done to her, fearing that she would say something terrible out of anger.
Gu Weiwei glanced at him and showed him a bright smile.
“Don’t worry.”
She was not an impulsive girl. It would be stupid of her to reveal such dark secrets with Li Xing’er on the stage.
Jolin felt assured after hearing what she said.
It was not yet time for her to start a battle against Li Xing’er at this moment, but soon he was going to give her the opportunity to reveal the truth, of this ungrateful family.
After the host finished the conversation with Li Xing’er and Fu Shiyi, Yi An and Gu Weiwei were invited onto the stage.
Host: Every movie by Director Yi has received some awards, so are you confident about the Long Wind when it comes to the Gold Phoenix Awards at the end of this year?
Yi An: I am very glad that I have met such excellent actors and I am very confident that we can be at least nominated.
Host: As we all know, most actors who have been with Director Yi would win some awards. Who do you think will be able to get the award this year?
Yi An: Everyone has done a great job.
Host: If you can’t say anything now, maybe you can tell us if you expect an actor or an actress to win the award?
Yi An: Personally speaking, I do have hopes for the actresses, because Third Master only stands out because of his looks.
Fu Shiyi: You know me pretty well, Director Yi.
The host looked at Gu Weiwei and Li Xing’er and said, “Since Director Yi says so, I do look forward to seeing one of you standing out at the Gold Phoenix Awards.”
Zhou Meiqin smiled confidently. If the director thought so, then Xing’er was definitely going to br the Movie Queen of the Golden Phoenix.
Then her sacrifice would have been worth its while.
Gu Weiwei smiled without uttering a sound.
After finishing the questions with the director, the host turned to Gu Weiwei.
“Weiwei, you are still a freshman at university right? Do your parents support you when you don’t go to school but instead turn to acting?”
Gu Weiwei smiled meaningfully and said calmly, “My mother passed away last year and my father remarried, they have never interfered with my studies.”
Li Xing’er’s face stiffened. She threw a look at her nervously, fearing that she would reveal something unpleasant.
Chapter 242: A Hoax
As well as Li Xing’er, Zhou Meiqin and Li Jiacheng froze in apprehension.
Mu Weiwei had not been in the entertainment industry before, so no one cared about her family or background information but now she was in the industry, her words would cause the paparazzi to dig out her real identity.
Hearing her words, the host looked at her with concern.
“You mean… after your father remarried, you started to live alone?”
Gu Weiwei nodded and smiled lightly. “It took them a long time before they got married again, so I should leave them alone.”
The host sighed and encouraged her.
“Then I hope that you will become more and more popular!”
Which dumb-headed father would give up such a lovely daughter?
“Thanks.” Gu Weiwei smiled and bowed.
Without digging deeper into her background, the host turned to the promotion of the Long Wind.
After the program was finished, Gu Weiwei went to the bathroom and ran into Zhou Meiqin.
“What was your intention when you said those words on the stage? You were trying to embarrass your father and I, right?”
Gu Weiwei washed her hands calmly and snorted at the reflection of Zhou Meiqin in the mirror.
“Then should I have said that Li Jiacheng had an affair with you and that your love child was actually sharing the same stage with me?”
Zhou Meiqin was so annoyed that she shook with suppressed anger and warned with clenched teeth.
“Mu Weiwei, if you don’t want to come back to our family, then we don’t have to interfere with each other in any way! But if you dare to ruin Xing’er’s future, then I will never forgive you!”
“You must have forgotten what you have left with me?” Gu Weiwei reminded her with a chuckle.
“You…”
Gu Weiwei gazed at Zhou Meiqin who was angry, grabbed the paper towel to dry her hands and left.
Fu Shiyi asked her, when he saw her getting into the car, “Did your stepmother mistreat you again?”
“I mistreated her.” Gu Weiwei snorted.
With Zhou Meiqin’s pictures in her possession, she was now more obedient than before and she did not come to cause her trouble again.
Fu Shiyi squinted at her and said, “Honestly, if you just make a call to my brother and act cutely towards him, I guarantee you that you will never see the Li Family exist again, from that day forward. Why must you tolerate them? Don’t you find them disgusting?”
“I don’t want to depend on your brother.” Gu Weiwei snorted.
Fu Shiyi said, “That is cruel of you. I don’t even have the chance to depend on him and yet you, who has such an opportunity, refuses to depend on him. I find it very annoying.”
Honestly, with his brother’s help, she was able to dominate Hua Land. Why must she force herself to do everything with her own abilities?
Gu Weiwei squinted at him and did not have any interest in explaining anything to him.
“Honestly, if you don’t want my brother to help you deal with the enemies or your career, then you have slept with my brother so many times in vain. What an unfair deal!” Fu Shiyi just could not understand why she refused to turn to his brother for help.
Gu Weiwei squinted at him. “Who told you your brother slept with me?”
Fu Shiyi said, “Then you slept with him?”
Gu Weiwei said, “We only share the same bed, not really sleeping with each other, okay?”
Could he have thought that she and Fu Hanzheng only met for s*x?
Fu Shiyi was startled and mumbled in disbelief, “That is impossible! My brother promised my mother that she will have a grandchild soon.”
So they just share the bed instead of sleeping with each other.
Gu Weiwei. “…”
What was that promise?
Since when did she promise that they would have a child together?
So the reason why he had been so gentle to her these past days, was because he was trying to get her to be the mother of his children…
Chapter 243: Pure Relationship
Fu Shiyi looked meaningfully at Gu Weiwei, who seemed very anxious; he assumed that his efficient brother must have slept with her numerous times.
“Could it be because my brother has some sort of problem… just like what Second Brother said?”
“He is totally fine!” Gu Weiwei glared at him.
“That doesn’t sound right, why not sleep with him if he doesn’t have a problem?” Fu Shiyi found the situation incredible.
Oh, so his brother was in a very pure and loving relationship… So every time they met each other, they were just holding hands and kissing?
“Don’t think that everyone is as much as a player as you, alright?!” Gu Weiwei countered.
What was so wrong with them not having s*x with each other? Why was that a problem?
Fu Shiyi pursed his lips and stopped arguing with her.
It seemed that his cold-blooded brother loved her more than he had imagined, otherwise he would not take such great care of her.
After the program ended, the whole crew rushed towards the premiere site.
Apart from some media and film critics, some of Yi An’s friends in the film industry, as well as Li Xing’er’s and Fu Shiyi’s oldest fans, appeared at the site.
Apart from those who had gotten permission to enter the site, most of the fans were waiting outside the site instead.
The director and the producer made a briefly introduced the movie, and just before the scheduled showing time, the media interviewed the main cast members. However, just as it had always been, Li Xing’er and Fu Shiyi were the ones who answered most of the questions.
Gu Weiwei was interviewed too, but the only questions directed at her were about the previous rescue incident of the girl on the horse and how and when she had learnt to ride the horse.
After the ceremony, the film was shown and Gu Weiwei, together with the main cast, took their seats and watched the movie.
The movie started with Gu Changfeng betraying the master and being hunted by his fellow disciples.
Fu Shiyi performed the scene well. He was sharp and straightforward in his martial arts and he looked very much like a hero.
Then came the encounter with Tang Shaoqi, who was dressed as a male, at Zuiyue Pavilion in Ningcheng.
Gu Weiwei looked great as a male and it was difficult to tell if she was a woman or a man.
The scene in which she was performing the martial arts with the fan, turned out to look smooth and sharp.
Then came the scene when Lin Qingxue lied to the Mongolian army, so that she managed to stop an attack from happening.
Then she led her men to look for the Treasure Map.
Then came the scene when Gu Changfeng and Tang Shaoqi were keeping each other company on the road, when they encountered different enemies, until they finally had to wave goodbye after a drink.
Gu Changfeng looked drunk as he gazed at Tang Shaoqi who was so close to him.
“Brother Tang, you look so pretty.”
Tang Shaoqi narrowed her eyes and showed a smile, looking just like a gentle lady.
The scene where they were so close to each other, was displayed with classical music as the background.
It was a flirty scene that gripped people’s hearts deeply.
The film critic who was sitting next to Yi An could not help but asked the director a few questions regarding the actress playing Tang Shaoqi and then he took a look at Gu Weiwei, showing a look of admiration.
The movie lasted for two hours and the last scene showed Gu Changfeng and Lin Qingxue heading towards the border, to defend themselves against the Jin Army.
As they passed by Shili Pavilion, they took a rest and some of their fellow swordsmen talked about the genius Tang Shaoqi, of the Tang Family.
One older swordsman said, “The Master of the Tang Family was a girl, what a pity! Otherwise…”
Gu Changfeng suddenly realized something and looked at the ruined Pavilion that was far off in the distance.
“Senior Brother!” Lin Qingxue mounted the horse and urged Gu Changfeng who stood staring into the distance, motionlessly.
Gu Changfeng mounted the horse and threw a look back into the direction of the Pavilion, looking distant and complicated.
Then he rode away and disappeared into the distance.
Then came the scene of Shili Pavilion that stood against the glow of the setting sun, as the clouds spread over the sky.
A woman in a firey red dress was standing in the Pavilion and turned around as the sun set and the moon rose. She was amazingly beautiful.
It was Tang Shaoqi in the female costume, and the only scene in the movie where she was dressed as a woman.
Chapter 244: A Stupid Move
As the movie came to the end, an enormous cacophony of applause arose in the cinema.
Fu Shiyi’s and Li Xing’er’s fans all rushed over to their sides, praising their idols for being good at acting.
Only Gu Weiwei was so alone, that only her agent and her assistant were by her side but the film critic next to Yi An, came over to her of his own accord.
“Mu Weiwei, you played Tang Shaoqi very well.”
Although she was just a supporting role, Tang Shaoqi left the deepest impression upon him throughout the entire movie and he was able to remember every single scene that had her in it.
He was a professional film critic and he had been invited to watch numerous movies but among all the young actors, she was the only person that had left such a deep impression on him.
He just could not believe that she was only 19 years old!
Gu Weiwei bowed and smiled. “Thank you.”
Jolin had once mentioned this film critic to her and she understood that he was very sharp and critical about actors’ skills.
Since she did not have any fans, Jolin, Xu and Gu Weiwei went back to the hotel for food.
The food had just been served onto the table when the assistant screamed after viewing her phone.
“Li Xing’er’s boyfriend has already bought out ten cinemas for the first day of release in the capital, so all of Li Xing’er’s fans are invited to watch the movie for free.”
Jolin opened Weibo and found that Wei Ziting’s post was being crazily reposted by Li Xing’er’s fans and it had reached the No.13 spot in the top search list.
“I just heard that Third Master’s fans have bought out all the cinemas across the entire country just for the movie.” Xu whispered.
“Third Master’s fans are always so crazy for all of his movies.” Jolin snorted disdainfully.
Third Master’s fans went to watch every one of his movies, no matter how terribly he acted in them.
Xu looked at Jolin. “Don’t we need to do anything? Weiwei acts so well.”
She also watched the movie just now and her girl acted so much better than Li Xing’er.
Li Xing’er’s fans always sneered at her for being a supporting role, but after the movie, she found that Lin Qingxue was the supporting role who did not leave an impression.
“What are we going to do? Spending money to buy out all the cinemas for the movie?” Jolin laughed.
His girl had not yet had any formal work, so of course her fans were not that loyal.
Which meant that no one was going to spend that much money on her.
“But let’s do something, otherwise we will look so unpopular.” Xu was worried.
Her girl had always been in the supporting role, either at the promotional event or at the premier where no fans showed up.
She even heard Li Xing’er’s fans mocking her girl for showing up at the promotional event, saying that she had only attended just to get popular; although she had no fans.
Jolin poured water for Gu Weiwei and said, “No need to hurry, right?”
After seeing the movie today, he became even more confident that after the movie was released to the public, his girl would become increasingly popular.
In the movie, she played her role extremely well and Third Master also acted well too.
But Li Xing’er presented such a terrible performance that she left almost no impression.
Her fans could not tell the difference, but a normal audience would.
Those film critics who showed up today, for example, spoke quite highly of his own artist, as far as he had noticed.
Gu Weiwei was very calm. “Let’s just focus on our job. It is a stupid move to spend money on buying out all the cinemas, just for the movie. Best not to do anything like that.”
However, a few days later, her “stupid” boyfriend did such a crazy thing.
Chapter 245: Wait and See
On the night of the premiere, Wei Ziting wrote a post on Weibo.
[Repost this Weibo and you will be invited to watch my girlfriend @Li Xing’er, in ten cinemas across the capital on October 1st in her new movie, The Long Wind]
Soon large numbers of reposts travelled around over the website and Li Xing’er reposted instantly too.
Li Xing’er’s fans started reposting as well, followed by a number of important figures in the industry.
Within a few hours, Li Xing’er and Wei Ziting topped the hot search list, drawing much jealousy and congratulating words.
[Master Wei spoils his girlfriend so much!]
[My idol’s boyfriend is so cool!]
[My dinner is nothing compared to this love that fills my heart!]
[I am going to watch your girlfriend!]
[I am going to watch your girlfriend too!]
….
Because of Wei Ziting’s post, Li Xing’er’s fans started to buy out cinemas for the movie in some other major cities.
Soon, Li Xing’er and the new movie the Long Wind had gained much popularity and attention.
Some film critics who attended the premiere of the Long Wind also drew some attention.
Cheng Yibai, a very prestigious film critic wrote the review: I was honored to attend the premiere of the Long Wind and I have been deeply moved by one actress’ performance. I now understand what a real actress should be like. I will make a detailed review when the movie is released.
Cheng Yibai was a very critical film critic when it came to acting, and there were many young actresses and actors who had been criticized by him for their acting skills.
Therefore, the actress must have been extremely impressive, considering that he made such comments.
Another author and film critic, namely Sun Xiaobei, also wrote a Weibo post after the premiere.
[The leading actress, as a TV-show actress, has made great progress in the movie and Shiyi has put on an incredibly amazing show too. It is a film worth watching]
After reading the post, Li Xing’er reposted the post immediately and thanked Sun Xiaobei for his nice words.
Her fans also kept reposting [Xing’er is so pretty, and talented]
After Sun Xiaobei’s post, Cheng Yibai’s post was reposted as well.
[Even Cheng Yibai approves of her performance, our Xing’er must have been truly amazing!]
Several important figures from the industry also reposted the posts and spoke highly of Li Xing’er’s performance.
In the meanwhile, some people made mocking comments upon Gu Weiwei’s Weibo.
[Hey, internet star, where are your fans?]
[You are so unpopular and untalented, shame on you for having walked across the red carpet!]
….
Most of the time, Jolin was administrating Gu Weiwei’s Weibo and he was just reading her Weibo to see the reaction of the fans late at night, only to see Li Xing’er’s fans kept making a fuss on her page.
Before he was able to get angry, he spotted several of Gu Weiwei’s fans who started a fight with them.
Cute Orange: Well, someone else failed so many takes that she had to be taken to the hospital!
Master’s Wife: Everyone understands clearly who has left their shameful footsteps on the red carpet!
Qianqian Cute: Let’s wait and see the movie.
Obviously, one of them was Ji Cheng and one was Luo Qianqian.
Master’s Wife was Meng Xiaofei, who was saved from the panicking horse by Gu Weiwei at the film site and who had become Gu Weiwei’s fan instead of remaining as Fu Shiyi’s.
Jolin snorted as he read through the comments made by Li Xing’er’s fans.
So Li Xing’er was trying to establish a talented persona? She must have not learnt anything from the last lesson…
Cheng Yibai’s post was obviously talking about Mu Weiwei. After the premiere, Cheng Yibai even stepped forward and talked with her of his own accord.
Li Xing’er’s fans thought too highly of their idol.
Chapter 246: Function of the Leading Actor
[Go and watch my girlfriend] had topped the hot search list and Wei Ziting and Li Xing’er showed off their loving relationship on Weibo.
Li Xing’er’s friends from the industry also reposted the post and showed support for the new movie.
The official account of the Long Wind also reposted her post and wrote some words of praise.
However, Fu Shiyi, the leading actor of the Long Wind, did not care a single whit about Li Xing’er and even though Li Xing’er was following him, he was not a follower of Li Xing’er’s Weibo.
Li Xing’er’s fans had noticed that Fu Shiyi did not follow Li Xing’er but followed Mu Weiwei instead, so those fans started to find justice for their idol.
They all rushed onto Fu Shiyi’s Weibo and reminded him about following Li Xing’er and reposting her Weibo.
[Third Master, Xing’er has followed you.]
[Third Master, aren’t you going to help your partner repost the post?]
[Third Master, you have befriended Tang Shaoqi, why not Qingxue?]
….
They did not dare to put forward the request in too obvious a way, so they were requesting him to repost the post by using the characters in the movie.
But they were soon countered by Fu Shiyi’s fans.
[You need to have good looks!]
[You need to have good looks! Plus One]
[You need to have good looks! Plus two]
….
They basically meant that your idol was not pretty enough for us to pay attention to her, let alone Third Master.
Mu Weiwei was the artist hired by Third Master’s company, so there was nothing wrong with him following her. Most importantly, she was really pretty.
After the incident of the horse-back rescue, Fu Shiyi’s fans had a great impression of her.
When Li Xing’er’s boyfriend and fans bought out cinemas for the movie, it became popular online.
Fu Shiyi’s fans did not yield either. They bought out dozens of cinemas for the movie across the entire country just to support their idol.
On the first two days when the movie was released, it was Fu Shiyi’s and Li Xing’er’s fans who visited the cinemas as well as a small portion of the fans of the original novel.
Li Xing’er’s fans kept speaking highly of Lin Qingxue played by Li Xing’er thinking that the two film critics agreed with them.
So Li Xing’er’s agency took the opportunity and started to cook up stories, so that she stayed at the top of the hot search list for two days in a row, after the movie was released.
Fu Shiyi, however, always took up the first top search.
Fu Shiyi had an enormous number of fans and he also put on a great performance as Gu Changfeng, moving all the hearts of his fans.
[Has Third Master practised so hard overnight?]
[Third Master is so cool when he acts seriously!]
[Gu Changfeng played by Third Master is so cool! But the Master of the Tang Family is great too]
[It is such a wonderful scene to watch Third Master and the Master of the Tang Family showing up together]
….
Apart from the fans’ opinions, there were some comments left by the fans of the original novel.
[I had meant to watch Gu Changfeng and Lin Qingxue, but the Master of the Tang Family amazed me instead.]
[Tang Shaoqi is the villainous woman in the movie but after the movie, I feel so concerned about her.]
[Tang Shaoqi dressed in red truly caters to the description of the book.]
….
However, the opinions of the fans of the original novel were drowned out by Li Xing’er’s and Fu Shiyi’s crazy fans.
When the movie was on, Gu Weiwei and the entire cast started to do promotional events at different cinemas.
They often worked from early afternoon, all the way to midnight, before flying to the next city.
For the first two or three days, Li Xing’er’s and Fu Shiyi’s fans were mostly those who were present, who passionately gave them flowers and cakes.
On the fourth day, however, an urgent notice arrived when the cast came off the plane.
“Tang Shaoqi will take over today at the promotional event, be prepared!”
Fu Shiyi was displeased. “Then what is my function when she takes over?”
The movie was called the Long Wind, not the Master of the Tang Family, alright?
Li Xing’er who played Lin Qingxue was the most annoyed out of everyone.
Chapter 247: Showing off Love
The promotion staff smiled awkwardly and explained, “It is a special day today, we hope you can understand.”
Li Xing’er’s agent protested in displeasure. “What is so special about today? They are still the lead actor and actress!”
“Well….”
The staff was about to speak, when Fu Shiyi’s fans came running after them from a distance away.
The cast had to quickly hurry into the car and leave the airport for the cinema, where the promotional event was going to take place.
When they arrived at the cinema, the movie had just finished.
They touched up their makeup and were guided into the cinema, where they met the audience to do a few interactive interviews.
Fu Shiyi and Li Xing’er quickly slipped into the habit of standing in the center, where they greeted the audience passionately.
“Hello, I am Shiyi who plays Gu Changfeng, thank you very much for watching our movie.”
“Hello everyone, I am Li Xing’er who plays Lin Qingxue, thank you very much for watching our movie.”
Gu Weiwei made a brief greeting and then the host asked the audience, “Is the movie great?”
“Yes!”
Everyone started to answer simultaneously.
After the brief introductory greeting, the host started to pick some audience representatives to raise questions to the cast.
One girl with glasses raised her hand high up in the air and grabbed the microphone… But the person she asked the question to was not Fu Shiyi or Li Xing’er.
“Mu Weiwei, you have portrayed the Master of the Tang Family in such a vivid way. Tang Shaoqi in the original book is not a very nice character but I don’t hate you at all. Instead, I feel concerned and like you a lot. What is your secret?”
Li Xing’er’s face stiffened, moved away in embarrassment and gave the microphone to Gu Weiwei.
“Tang Shaoqi is not a nice character but that’s only because she has a lot of enemies and kills many people, so what I did was to focus more upon her emotions.”
“Mu Weiwei…”
“Mu Weiwei…”
There were only a few minutes for the cast at a promotional event and the audience were only allowed to ask four or five questions.
But all of them were for Mu Weiwei.
Li Xing’er and Fu Shiyi felt so embarrassed standing next to her.
They had thought that it was just an accident, yet in the promotional events that followed, Gu Weiwei was really the only person who got asked questions.
Fu Shiyi got two or three, and Li Xing’er got none.
What was more, there were counters selling T-shirts and posters with Tang Shaoqi’s image on it at each cinema.
And there were so many roses and gift boxes from fans at each promotional event that the agent and the assistant were not able to take them all in their arms.
After the third promotional event, Jolin came to the waiting room after making a few calls, looking very happy.
“Weiwei, it turns out that you have got such a wealthy Boyfriend Fan, who has bought out the cinemas for just this movie. Do you know how many cinemas he has bought out?”
“Boyfriend Fan? Bought out the cinemas for the movie?”
Startled, Gu Weiwei just could not think of a single fan of hers that could be so wealthy.
Also, what did Boyfriend Fan mean, for hell’s sake?
Li Xing’er’s agent snorted, feeling that it was unfair.
“What a boring trick, Master Wei and Xing’er’s fans have already bought out the cinemas and they are the priority.”
Jolin rolled his eyes at Li Xing’er and snorted.
“Just go and check out Weibo to see how many cinemas Weiwei’s Boyfriend Fan has bought out for this movie?”
Fu Shiyi’s agent swiped the phone curiously and gasped.
“Oh my god, 500 cinemas, the equivalent to a full box office day! Is this fan mental?”
The cost could contribute to one day’s box office of the Long Wind and no one without tens of millions of yuan would be able to afford that!
What Li Xing’er’s and Master Three’s fans did was nothing compared to this.
Fu Shiyi’s lips twitched. No, that fan was not mental, but his brother was.
No one except for his brother in this whole country would be so crazy.
Apart from the cinemas, he had arranged roses and gift boxes, showing off their love to the domestic audience.
It was very typical of his eldest brother.
Chapter 248: Irrational, Jealous Man
When Fu Shiyi’s agent Luo Jiaming read out the number of cinemas, Li Xing’er and her agent fell silent and glared at Gu Weiwei.
There were always wealthy fans who showed support for their idol by buying out the cinemas for a movie, in the entertainment industry but that fan was the only one in history who had done the buyout of cinemas in this way.
Mu Weiwei had such a foxy-looking face and she knew exactly how to seduce men.
As Fu Shiyi thought of Fu Hanzheng, so did Gu Weiwei… but honestly, was he so childish that he did such a stupid thing?
As she was working with the cast for the promotional events, the top Boyfriend Fan named Mr. Right, who bought out the cinemas for the movie, and her name, reached the top search list together.
[Just marry him, your Boyfriend Fan is great!]
[Marry him plus one]
[Just marry him!]
….
In the meantime, her Weibo followers also suddenly increased by more than one million.
Gu Weiwei, who was in the middle of the promotional work, had no idea about it.
When they finished the day’s promotional event, she went back to the hotel in the same car as Fu Shiyi and she took a look at him; he looked so tired.
“Your brother can’t be so… stupid, right?”
“He is a jealous man without any rationality, don’t you get it?” Fu Shiyi squinted at her.
“Jealous?” Gu Weiwei raised her eyebrows.
All she had been doing was promotional work and apart from Fu Shiyi and Jolin, who was gay, she hadn’t interacted with any other men. What was he getting jealous for?
Fu Shiyi brought out his phone and showed her some of the latest Weibo posts, as he handed it to her.
“Just check it out.”
Gu Weiwei took it and found that some of the fans from the original novel expressed their willingness to be her Boyfriend Fan, after they watched the movie.
Also, those people then watched the movie everyday ever since it was released in the cinemas.
They left comments and Jolin reposted and replied to them with her account.
[Thanks so much for your sweet boys’ support and love, you can be my Boyfriend Fan, but you can’t be my boyfriend]
Gu Weiwei was so confused as she read through the posts.
“Your brother can’t be this… childish, right?”
Just because those Boyfriend Fans claimed to support her by visiting the cinema, he decided to do the buyout and become the top Boyfriend Fan?
Also, what did those comments that urged her to get married mean?
“It must be him, or the man who did this would have disappeared by now!”
Fu Shiyi took back his phone and looked helpless.
Ever since they were small, his brother had never bought anything for them, not even a candy for him and Second Master but now that he was in a relationship, he bought everything for his girlfriend.
Please come back now, Second Brother, I have been presented with too much love to eat it all alone.
Gu Weiwei pulled out her phone that she had not touched for the entire day and called Fu Hanzheng.
“Did you do the buyout thing today?”
“Yes.” Fu Hanzheng sounded cold.
“President Fu, could we be just a little bit more rational?” Gu Weiwei asked.
Fu Hanzheng replied, “So many people want to be your boyfriend, so I am just trying to tell them that I am your real boyfriend.”
Because then those small, young children who claimed to be her boyfriend, would understand that they were totally disqualified.
“Uncle Fu, it is just a kind of fan group, Fu Shiyi also has a lot of Girlfriend Fans, don’t take it too seriously…”
Gu Weiwei explained patiently, fearing that he would do something else in the future.
Fu Hanzheng replied, “So you call others sweet boys, and me Uncle?”
Gu Weiwei explained helplessly. “Jolin takes care of my account on Weibo, not me!”
It was true, just as Fu Shiyi had said. Jealous men had no rationality.
Chapter 249: Boyfriend to Husband (Extra Chapter)
However, Fu Hanzheng replied with a tone that was full of doubt, “Is that true?”
If he had known that there would be so many men drooling over her once she entered the entertainment industry, he would not have allowed her to get involved.
“I will not comment on what you did today but please do not conduct any buyouts or send me any flowers or gift boxes…”
He was showing her his support but this behavior would easily make outsiders think that she had some mysterious rich sugar daddy backing her.
“But you did not eat anything yesterday.” Fu Hanzheng reminded her with a mild voice.
Due to the tight schedule the day before, she had failed to eat anything at lunch or dinner. It was not until midnight that she managed to grab some food on the plane.
The reason why he had asked someone to deliver her gift boxes was because he hoped that she did not have to starve.
Gu Weiwei’s heart softened and retreated a step backwards.
“Then just give me the flowers and food, nothing more!”
“Okay.” Fu Hanzheng did not want to give her any more trouble, so he agreed instantly.
“When are you coming home? I miss you.”
Gu Weiwei took a look at the flowers in the car and said, “Still a fortnight to go.”
Fu Hanzheng asked, “Don’t you miss me?”
Gu Weiwei said quickly, after hearing the words, “I do, I do miss you…”
Fu Shiyi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, turned around and looked at her.
“Watch your words, I am a single man!”
Having said that he then rolled his eyes at the flowers in her arms.
He had delivered so many bouquets to her and each bunch contained 101 flowers, which symbolised that she was his one and only. It was a lie that his brother didn’t know how to be romantic.
Fu Hanzheng smiled in satisfaction on the other side of the phone.
“Then, can you think over one thing before you return?”
“What thing?” Gu Weiwei yawned.
“Making your boyfriend become your husband instead.” Fu Hanzheng said.
He had to raise this question about marriage, just in case something incidental would happen between them.
“….” Gu Weiwei was silent.
“Weiwei?” Fu Hanzheng called her name.
“I think we are doing very well… in this way.” Gu Weiwei laughed dryly.
Fu Hanzheng lowered his voice. “Don’t you think that we should aim at getting married?”
He had thought that she would start to consider getting married, when their relationship became closer after a while.
“I…”
She had been forced to become his girlfriend to start with.
Just because she was in a relationship with him, did not mean that she was going to marry him. She had not been able to break up with him so far.
Staying silent for a while, Fu Hanzheng sounded a bit disappointed.
“So, you only want a relationship, not a marriage?”
“I don’t think that I need marriage right now…” Gu Weiwei said discreetly.
Fu Shiyi sighed helplessly, when he heard the word ‘marriage’.
So when his brother did not have him as his strategist, he was getting off track.
He had not even been able to sleep with her, what was the point of raising the question of marriage? He needed to be patient!
After a long moment of silence, Fu Hanzheng said, “You should start to think about it.”
He did not want to be her boyfriend for too long. He wanted to be her real husband.
Gu Weiwei said, “We can talk about it when I get back.”
Without asking anything more, Fu Hanzheng just said, “Take a good rest, alright?”
“Okay.” Gu Weiwei replied and hung up.
Then, she scratched her hair anxiously – can this man stop thinking about getting married and having children all the time?
With the phone in his hand, Fu Shiyi started to text his brother on the sly.
[Do you want your girlfriend to fall deeply in love with you?]
[Do you want to have fun with your girlfriend in bed?]
[Do you want our mother to have a grandson as soon as possible?]
[I am the guide to the road of your dreams!]
Chapter 250: Helping My Brother
Five minutes later, Fu Hanzheng sent a brief text.
[Name your condition]
He had to admit that Fu Shiyi was better at dealing with girls than he was.
Fu Shiyi laughed proudly, and started to name his conditions.
[Give me back my game company. One Koenigsegg]
After a long time, Fu Hanzheng replied.
[If your methods do not work, then you are going to move into the place Fu Shiqin has prepared for you]
That meant the tomb that Fu Shiqin had bought for him.
Fu Shiyi threw a look at Gu Weiwei who was resting with her eyes closed and replied confidently.
[Sure, I can gamble with my life]
As the car pulled over outside the hotel, Gu Weiwei noticed Fu Shiyi’s sinister gaze towards her and she frowned.
“Third Master, what are you planning to do?”
“No way, I will be killed by my brother if I have any plans towards you.”
Fu Shiyi smiled guiltily – was it that obvious?
However, just one moment earlier, he had sent his brother a text.
[I will tell you how you can sleep with her. Honestly, making the move in bed is the best way for couples talk]
Gu Weiwei looked at him for a few seconds. “You did not come up with the stupid idea of buying out the cinemas for the movie, for your brother, right?”
Fu Shiyi felt wronged. “If I was asked to think of a method, that stupid move would not have appeared!”
Gu Weiwei thought that he was right, but still warned him.
“It is your own choice if you want to be your brother’s servant, but don’t get involved between him and me.”
“No, never!” Fu Shiyi smiled.
If he was not involved, his brother would not be able to have her anytime near in the future.
For his brother’s happiness and his garage kit and sport cars, he had to do something behind her back.
With flowers in her arms, Gu Weiwei got out of the car and returned to the hotel.
Fu Shiyi followed behind her and they walked into the elevator one after the other.
“Honestly, who else are you going to marry apart from my brother, why are you struggling?”
Normally, when a woman heard his brother’s name, she would be begging to marry him.
However, she had turned down his brother’s proposal numerous times.
Gu Weiwei squinted at him and did not want to explain anything more.
Fu Hanzheng was not aware that she was the girl he must not marry.
But she clearly knew that he was the man she must not marry.
Fu Shiyi said, “You must give me a very convincing reason as to why you refuse to marry my brother.”
She had feelings for his brother, but whenever marriage was mentioned, she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Was she planning to just be in a relationship with his brother for an entire lifetime?
“I said that I did not want a marriage without love.”
Having said this, Gu Weiwei stepped out of the elevator with her flowers and returned to her own room.
The moment she entered the room, she sighed deeply as she leaned against the door.
She was not going to return to Gu Siting but she could not stay for long next to Fu Hanzheng either.
Fu Hanzheng might like her and want to marry her now but was he going to feel the same way, after he knew who she really was?
No matter if Fu Hanzheng liked her for real or not, she should not take the following step ahead at all.
Her heart from the previous life had been dug out and given to Ling Yan and when she was given one more chance of life, she must not allow herself to become lost in Fu Hanzheng’s arms.
Seeing her entering the room, Fu Shiyi snorted.
“I don’t believe that there is no love between you and my brother!”
There were some things that could be used as a lie to others on the surface but whenever she talked with his brother, authentic emotion reflected in her eyes and that was real joy.
After he entered the room, he made a phone call to his agent.
“I need to take a rest after the promotional events.”
Luo Jiaming replied, “Your work has been arranged until the year after next year, no rest for you!”
Fu Shiyi threw himself onto the bed and lay spread out on it. “I am going to teach my brother how to court a girl!”
