Chapter 341: Only Child Missing

The following morning when she woke up, Yuan Meng had already been long gone.

She had no idea when she left and how she did it.

After a few more intensive days of filming on the set, herself, her agent and her assistant, took the earliest plane back to the capital city for a program.

It was a non-profitable event for Asian filmmakers.

It was a program held every year in different Asian countries and this year, the program happened to be held in Hua Land. So some filmmakers would be there.

The moment Gu Weiwei got off the plane, she went to the company with her agent and got changed. Then she ate some simple food and hurried to the event’s location.

She had thought that she would not run into anybody, so she decided to just show up briefly and later on, leave without anybody noticing her.

But the moment she stepped on site, she noticed Fu Shiyi who was surrounded by a group of women.

Fu Shiyi waved to her when he saw her and drove away the girls surrounding him.

“What are you doing here?”

“Trust me I really don’t want to be here!” Fu Shiyi pointed at the black rings under his eyes and said, “He wants to have a date with you later, so I had to finish my two day’s worth of work within one day’s time! I’m so tired now as his wing-man!”

“Thanks.” Gu Weiwei said with a smile.

The moment she got off the plane, she received a text from him and when Jolin saw it, he desperately wanted to dig around in her phone, to find out who on earth Baby Zheng was.

Therefore, she needed someone to stop Jolin so as to meet up with him.

But Jolin was the agent of Shiyi Culture… No one else would be able to stop him unless the President’s brother of Shiyi Culture showed up to do the work.

“Why don’t you just tell him that you are in a relationship with my brother.” Fu Shiyi suggested with a huge yawn.

Actually, what he wanted was to see how Jolin would react, when he heard that his girl had already slept with the man of his dreams.

But he couldn’t just say that, in case he brought himself trouble after annoying his brother again, who would punish him.

He had been deeply affected by what happened last time, so he decided to stay away from him, gathering up his strength for further combat.

“You just want to see how Jolin tries to compete with me.” Gu Weiwei pointed out what Fu Shiyi was inwardly thinking.

“That’s impossible!” Fu Shiyi gave a very guilty smile and said, “Even if Jolin knows about it, he won’t be a match against you, right?”

Damn, how had she become so smart after getting together with his brother?

“Better not, otherwise…” Gu Weiwei smiled meaningfully.

She did not care about how he tried to annoy his brother but if he wanted to do something to her, she would not retreat.

Fu Shiyi laughed dryly. Well, if she and his brother wanted to stay the victorious party, then they shouldn’t plan to have children.

Because after all, their secret plan about cultivating a little monster was already in motion.

As long as they had a baby… everything was going to work out perfectly.

They were still talking when a sound arose from outside the set. They both looked in the direction that it came from.

Then they saw Ling Yan, wearing a chic embroidered dress, entering the set as she waved to the filmmakers on site.

She was a legendary Movie Queen that everyone knew, just like a Goddess on the earth that received much respect from filmmakers.

Fu Shiyi was never friendly when it came to anyone related to the Gu Family.

“Ling Yan seems to be getting ready for her return. Yaoshi Culture is going to make a Dream of a Long Life sequel, as a tribute to the girl who gave her, her heart.”

Gu Weiwei looked on and sneered… how shameless this woman was, the very one who had dug out her heart and tried to make a movie, to pay her respects to her, so hypocritically.

Chapter 342: Ling Yan and Gu Siting

Because of Ling Yan’s arrival, many filmmakers went over to meet and shake hands with the legendary Movie Queen.

Seeing Ling Yan’s diamond ring on her finger, Gu Weiwei realized that the news that they were engaged might actually be true.

Everything she had expected to get from Gu Siting was now Ling Yan’s.

Seeing Ling Yan who was exalted into the sky by the public, Fu Shiyi snorted speechlessly.

“Dream of a Long Life is just a movie, nothing to be proud of.”

Gu Weiwei glanced at Fu Shiyi. “What about us making a movie of our own too?”

Fu Shiyi shook his head constantly.

“I don’t want to make a movie or a program with you because my brother would become extremely jealous about what didn’t even happen between us.”

“I mean, Shiyi Culture can make a movie.” Gu Weiwei suggested.

When the Eyes of the Eagle was released in the cinemas, she was going to be the star of a first-rate movie.

Fu Shiyi’s eyes twinkled. “Oh, that sounds good. You can act better than she did when she was in Dream of a Long Life, and all I need to do is to get a script and a director.”

“I will be the director.” Gu Weiwei said.

Fu Shiyi blinked and said, “You have never been to a single lesson at the Film Academy and even though you are a gifted actress, a director might sound a bit…”

Gu Weiwei said, “I have learnt how to direct a movie before.”

Fu Shiyi thought for a while and shrugged.

“Alright then, as long as you are happy.”

The cost of a movie was worth a few hundred million and she could do whatever she wanted.

His brother would be the one compensating for the loss, if it turned out to be a horrible failure.

“When the filming of the Eyes of the Eagle finishes, we can start the preparations.” Gu Weiwei said seriously.

If Dream of a Long Life could bring Ling Yan up to the highest position, then she could make her fall off the position with a sequel.

If she hired someone to direct the movie, she might gain popularity and high box office ratings but it would take years before she was able to produce a movie that exceeded Dream of a Long Life.

She put her heart and blood into Dream of a Long Life, which was what made Ling Yan who she was today.

Only she was able to understand how to exceed the Dream of a Long Life and Ling Yan.

Fu Shiyi checked the time and said, “We can talk about this later but right now, let’s see how to meet my brother.”

His brother, despite the huge pile of work he had to deal with in the company, had spared some time to have a date with her.

Second Brother of the Fu Family must be rather annoyed right now.

“Do we still need to come up with a plan?” Gu Weiwei asked.

As long as he could keep Jolin from approaching her, she could leave the site alone.

“What are you two talking about?” Jolin asked from behind them.

“Oh…” Fu Shiyi, in that moment, couldn’t find an excuse to reply with

Gu Weiwei calmly said, “We are thinking about making a film with Shiyi Culture.”

Jolin said, “That sounds good.”

They had not produced this kind of project before because their artists were terrible at acting, just like their boss who only had a pretty face.

They had tried making one years ago but the box office profits had been horrible, even less than what they had spent.

However, with his girl as the main actress, he thought that the whole project sounded reliable.

Fu Shiyi saw a text on his phone and said, “When the donation section finishes, we are leaving ahead of time.”

“Why?” Jolin asked out of astonishment.

Fu Shiyi glared at him. “That Ling person is here, so Gu Siting must be here too. I may have to hit him if I see him again.”

Actually, it was his brother who didn’t want his girlfriend to remain here, in case something happened between her and Gu Siting again.

Chapter 343: Proud

The “Echoing Program” was an event for non-profitable filmmakers, one that was held every year as a donation party in Asia.

Apart from making donations, the filmmakers present would also ask their fans to donate as well.

Then they would use the funds to help people who were deaf and mute have their hearing or speaking ability restored.

After Fu Shiyi received Fu Hanzheng’s text that she should leave after the donation section, the program formally started.

After a sentimental speech, the founder said, with a mysterious smile, “This year, our event is lucky to have invited Ms. Ling Yan, the lead actress of Dream of a Long Life to be present. She is the pride and the legend of our filmmakers and the miracle of life.”

“Today, I expect that Ms. Ling Yan would be able to help give voice to more people’s miracles.”

….

Applause arose on the site and many people even gave her a standing ovation.

Ling Yan went up to the podium as the applause arose and chitchatted with the founder for a short while.

Ling Yan took over the microphone and smiled gently and shyly, as she sized up the filmmakers below the podium.

“Many people say that Dream of a Long Life is a legend of the film industry but as a matter of fact, I did not think much about it when I was shooting the movie because I already had a dream of being an actress and I had expected to realize this dream, before my life ended. I had thought that Dream of a Long Life would be the last film I made before I said goodbye to the world.”

When the words came to this pause, some of the audience started to feel that they may cry.

“But someone gave me a miracle so I lived on, so that I am able to stand on this stage and have more time and a longer life to realize all of my dreams.” Ling Yan sobbed yet then said with a firmer tone, “In order to thank that friend who is far away in heaven and who has given me this miracle, I will make a sequel to Dream of a Long Life next year.”

The filmmakers present applauded her again.

Gu Weiwei gave a barely there applause, yet looked rather cold.

She did not give her the miracle. It was Ling Yan who had put the drugs into her badly-injured body, so that she was declared brain dead.

Through these methods she stole her heart, and now she had the arrogance to say that she had to thank her…

Alright then, wait and see how she was going to pay back her so-called gratitude.

Fu Shiyi rolled his eyes as he sat next to her.

“She talks about this matter all the time, as if someone really gave her their heart. Feeling thankful? This is just a show for fans. I believe that the person who gave her their heart, must be feeling horrible after hearing what she said from heaven.”

Gu Weiwei, who had been feeling a bit gloomy, felt like laughing when she heard his complaining.

“Everyone is tearful, be serious!”

“I just can’t stand the fact that someone is even prouder than I am.”

Fu Shiyi crossed his long legs, leaned himself against the chair and yawned.

They were just complaining with each other when the founder said, “Normally, we have a tradition for our program. Two filmmakers are going to have a minor activity and make a donation online with concealed names.”

The founder, Ms. Bai, looked at Ling Yan next to her and said with a smile, “It seems that everyone understands who one of the filmmakers would be this year.”

Obviously, it was going to be Ling Yan who was already on the podium with her.

“One of them is our legendary Movie Queen, Ling Yan.” the Founder said and pointed at the screen where names were rolling by. “And the other participant will be selected by Ms. Ling Yan, randomly, from every present female participant.”

Ling Yan smiled to the audience, as names of all the female stars started to appear on screen rapidly, one after another.

Then she said with a soft voice through the microphone, “Stop!”

The rolling names on the big screen stopped and the remaining name… was Mu Weiwei.

Chapter 344: On the Podium with Ling Yan

Ling Yan was slightly startled when she saw the name on the big-screen but she still smiled and said the name shown on the big-screen through a microphone.

“Please come up to the podium Mu Weiwei.”

Gu Weiwei was also startled at the sight of her name. She had not expected that she would need to share the same podium with Ling Yan.

She truly had no intention of standing next to her and facing that disgusting face.

Fu Shiyi threw a sympathetic look at her. “It seems that today is your unlucky day.”

Having said these words, he suddenly realized something, so he slapped his face.

“My bad.”

Damn, what if she met his brother later on and did something together… then he wasn’t he saying that his brother was bringing her bad luck?

In spite of her unwillingness, Gu Weiwei still got up with a smile and walked to the podium as the spotlight shone down on her.

Dressed in a white gown, she walked onto the stage happily and sent greetings to everyone through the microphone.

“Hello everyone, I am Mu Weiwei.”

Ling Yan smiled. “Hello, nice to see you again.”

Ms. Bai, the founder of the event asked in surprise, “You two know each other?”

“We had a brief meeting at the Shengxi Town Film Festival.” Gu Weiwei said briefly.

Ling Yan nodded without explaining anything more.

Honestly speaking, she truly had no intention of seeing this woman again.

After her visit to the Gu Family last time, she had not been feeling very well, she also played a song that Gu Weiwei used to play and she was worried that Gu Siting would see Gu Weiwei in her.

The founder listened to the earpiece and heard someone reading to her the information of this new girl.

“You have played a wonderful role as Tang Shaoqi and now you are filming the Eyes of the Eagle, which is directed by Mo Jiao, right?”

Actually, she had not taken much notice of this young girl but she thought that she was incredible, after she read the information about her.

She was only 19 years old and she had already played a wonderful role as the supporting actress of the Long Wind and now, she was making the new film with Mo Jiao.

How incredible that she had come to this stage, at such a young age but compared to Ling Yan, who was a legendary Movie Queen, she was still a minor role.

Gu Weiwei smiled. “Yes, I am here today on leave.”

“Then how are you feeling, now that you are here to challenge our Movie Queen Ling?” The founder asked with a smile.

Gu Weiwei said inwardly that she was feeling terrible but she had to show a humble smile on the surface.

“Honored and worried.”

“Don’t be nervous, just try your best.” Ling Yan said with a consoling smile.

It looked as if she were already the winner.

Gu Weiwei smiled briefly – it was not necessarily she who was going to be nervous.

“You two are movie actresses, so apart from moves and expressions, lines are also an important part of the performance. Our program is held to help those who can’t speak or hear, so what you two are going to do is related to the voice as well.” Ms. Bai, the founder of the program said as she threw a look at Gu Weiwei and Ling Yan.

“You two are going to dub for one classical section of Dream of a Long Life and you are going to publish the recorded dubbing section anonymously online for voting as a way of donating for the program. The deadline will be 24 hours after the posting.”

This program aimed at gaining popularity and influence through Ling Yan and Mu Weiwei was just a minor role who was not worth mentioning.

Chapter 345: On the Podium with Ling Yan 2

Gu Weiwei and Ling Yan shook hands politely and went back to their provided recording rooms for preparation.

When she arrived, Fu Shiyi and Jolin were already there.

“What are you two doing?”

“Cheering for you!”

Fu Shiyi, who had almost fallen asleep a minute ago, was now more excited than he had ever been before.

“Try your best to slap her right on her face.”

He had been tolerating her pride for way too long.

“No need to tell me anything, that is what I am going to do.”

Having said those words, Gu Weiwei removed her high-heels and went into the recording room for preparations.

Seeing her on the way into the recording booth, Fu Shiyi stopped her nervously.

“Hang on, I will show you the original section and you can try to gain the feeling from that first.”

Gu Weiwei glanced at him – she could remember every line of Dream of a Long Life but if she turned down his offer, it might seem a bit suspicious.

Therefore, she still waited for him to show her the original section.

Then she read the lines carefully for a few minutes and adjusted her own emotions.

“I am ready.”

“You can do more preparation, there is no need to hurry.”

Fu Shiyi consoled her patiently – it was an important battle, why was she ready after ten minutes of preparation?

Gu Weiwei took the phone and showed it to him whilst hiding it from Jolin’s eyes.

The text showed that Fu Hanzheng was on his way to pick her up.

Fu Shiyi sighed helplessly, took a step aside and joined Jolin.

“Then let’s start.”

Although he did want her to try her best to bring down that Movie Queen, it seemed that the date with his brother was even more important.

At first, they thought that she was being casual and would do nothing but the moment she started to speak, they were completely startled… was she really doing the recording or was it just the original track from the movie?

Since the section only lasted three minutes, she finished the work immediately in one hit.

She put down the script, put on her shoes and threw a look at the two people standing next to her in astonishment.

“Are we leaving or not?”

Fu Shiyi and Jolin came back to themselves and sized her up in disbelief.

“Were you… in some strange magic circle just now?”

That section sounded exactly, or possibly even better than that of the original sound track.

“I am gifted.”

Having said that, Gu Weiwei went onto the podium with a smile.

The founder and the hostess were a bit surprised at the sight of her, who had come out onto the stage again, so quickly.

“Finished?”

“Yes, I tried my best.” Gu Weiwei said with a smile.

The founder smiled and thought that she was, after all, way too young to be mature enough for such a challenge.

But anyways, she was not the important one, Ling Yan was.

A few minutes later, Ling Yan also came onto the stage after finishing in the recording studio.

“Ling Yan, how does it feel to repeat what you did before?” The founder asked with a friendly smile.

“It feels as if we were back in the old times, it was so full of emotion.” Ling Yan said with a smile.

“Now, the two different sections have been published to our official website anonymously for donation.”

The founder looked at them and said, “Now, let’s also watch the two sections of dubbing done by our Movie Queen Ling Yan and Mu Weiwei.”

The light went dim and the classical section of Dream of a Long Life was shown on the big-screen. It was a scene in which the lead actress Lin Yang was doing a monologue.

Chapter 346: On the Podium with Ling Yan 3

Dream of a Long Life was created with Ling Yan as the original inspiration, so the lead actress was called Lin Yan.

The story was about how a maiden called Lin Yan, who was suffering from serious heart problems, befriended a depressed musician and how they then helped each other.

The musician used to be a genius but due to an unexpected car accident, his parents all passed away, so the musician could not create anything anymore.

Lin Yan, on the other hand, had the intention of killing herself because of her serious heart problems. However, after hearing a song played by the musician, she again felt the hope of living on and chose to cherish the little time she had left.

Out of a miracle, she lived on one year after another, just to look for that musician, only to find that the musician who once gave her the hope to live on, became so depressed that he could not write any more songs.

Therefore, Lin Yan helped the musician to rebuild his dream of music, so that he could write and sing once again.

The musician fell in love with Lin Yan, who had also secretly loved this musician for years but when the man confessed to her, she had to turn him down and leave because she had very little time left.

The section they dubbed for tonight was a monologue Lin Yan said, as she turned around and left the solo concert held by the musician.

On the stage, the musician played the song that Lin Yan loved the most of all, the one that once helped her to give up her suicidal thoughts.

“Because of this song, I started to understand the beauty of life and to realize that the sunshine could be warm and the world could be colorful.”

“I spent three years searching for you, hoping to see you again but now, all I can do is to wave you goodbye.”

“But thankfully, your music lives on with me. Even if my future will be filled with struggling and being on the brink of death for the rest of my life, I will still go through the misery and live on until the very end…”

….

What was shown on the screen was Lin Yan crying as she watched the musician performing on the stage and how he received so much support from the fans.

Then she said, “I love you,” to the man on the stage, before turning around and leaving the crowd.

When the first recorded dubbing was released, every line sounded so grevious that it gripped people’s hearts.

Life was fading away and she couldn’t hold onto the love she desired. It was such a painful moment that everyone could be driven to tears.

The founder Ms. Bai said, after watching the first recorded dubbing, “Our number one voice is indeed touching, quite close to the original soundtrack. I feel that my heart is scattered into pieces.”

Ling Yan stood next to her with a smile – it was such a classical moment that could make everyone tearful, totally unduplicatable.

The founder glanced at the two women and teased them.

“Who dubbed the first section? Give me a hint maybe?”

Both Gu Weiwei and Ling Yan showed a meaningful smile, refusing to admit that it was their work.

“Alright then, since neither of you are saying anything, let’s listen to the second voice.” The founder suggested.

The section was replayed on the big-screen, yet when the voice arose, the founder was totally surprised.

The picture was the same, so were the lines and even the voice sounded extremely similar.

Yet what they had expressed was totally different.

The former’s voice sounded sad and miserable but the second voice expressed the joy of the character who had received the love, as well as the strong desire to live on. The sadness and misery were just one tiny part of the emotions presented…

Every line had been perfectly expressed and the voice sounded gentle yet powerful too. This was the original sound track of Dream of a Long Life.

Dream of a Long Life was never about grief and regret but about warmth and healing, as well as hope and the power of life.

The founder, as well as everyone below the stage, naturally believed that it was Ling Yan’s voice because it sounded so much like the original sound track and Dream of a Long Life was her movie.

No one apart from her would have been able to create such a perfect dubbing for Dream of a Long Life.

Ling Yan’s smile wavered, as she threw a complicated look at Gu Weiwei next to her.

When everyone else assumed that it was her voice, she herself understood perfectly that it was not hers.

When she was doing Dream of a Long Life, she was having treatment and it was Gu Weiwei who had done the lines and dubbing for her!

But Gu Weiwei was already dead, how could this voice sound so much like hers?

Chapter 347: On the Podium with Ling Yan 4 (Extra)

After the second voice finished playing, everyone present started to clap excitedly as they stood up. The sound was enormous.

The first voice might be full of emotion but compared to the second voice, it was simply way too simple and the emotions expressed were just tedious.

Although it was not publicly known which one was dubbed by Movie Queen and which one was dubbed by Mu Weiwei it seemed obvious.

One was just a newbie who had played a supporting role, whilst the other one was Ling Yan, a Movie Queen who had won numerous prizes and played the lead actress of Dream of a Long Life.

Therefore, everyone would assume that it was Ling Yan who had the second, perfect voice.

So when the second voice was shown, everyone stood up and clapped their hands out of respect.

Ling Yan knew that it was not her own voice but at this moment she had to restrain herself, so she could keep calm.

But as a matter of fact, cold sweat had already appeared on the palm of her hands.

“Now, the donation program for the two voices has already kicked off on the official website and the second voice has attracted an increasingly high amount of donations!” Ms. Bai narrated the news excitedly as she threw a look at Ling Yan and Gu Weiwei. “Now, please go back to your seats and we will reveal the secret in 24 hours.”

Gu Weiwei smiled as she bowed and returned to her own seat gracefully.

Fu Shiyi and Jolin were laughing like two fools, as they were reading the official website.

Everyone on the site and elsewhere online, all assumed that Ling Yan was the woman behind the second voice.

When the donors were putting in money, they also left comments saying that the second voice was Ling Yan’s.

[Movie Queen is so excellent, her charm has never faded away]

[We must vote for the second voice a plus version of the original soundtrack!]

[Compared to the second voice, the first one was just sh*t]

[The first voice was just violating Dream of a Long Life]

….

“Go on and curse as you wish, your Movie Queen is going to be slapped hard on the face.” Fu Shiyi mumbled with a small voice as he read through the phone.

After watching the show, Jolin threw a look at his own girl who looked extremely calm.

“What about asking for some more days off from the set? I think that we are going to have a lot to deal with.”

Fu Shiyi said, “I have asked for leave. I am staying until the show is over.”

Now every one of Ling Yan’s fans online was showing support to the second voice and cursing at the first one but what they did not know was that they were supporting Mu Weiwei and cursing at their Movie Queen Ling Yan.

He felt a bit sorry for this Movie Queen who was slapped by Mu Weiwei and her own fans.

Jolin glared at Fu Shiyi and asked with a worried voice.

“Ling Yan is not going to sit and wait for the answer to be revealed. She will try her best to handle the situation or even refuse to reveal the answer today.”

It would be such a huge humiliation if the Movie Queen could not even be a match against a newbie in the contest of her own work.

Ling Yan went off stage and threw a look at Gu Weiwei. She nervously had a tight grip on her handbag.

Maybe she had watched the original film, so she learnt from Gu Weiwei.

The real Gu Weiwei was already dead, her heart was inside her now.

The matter must be pressed down and the answer could not be revealed; she must not let anyone know that Mu Weiwei was the person behind the second voice.

She turned to Kuroda Shio who was in her company.

“Kuroda, how much longer will it take before Brother Siting arrives?”

She couldn’t do it alone, she had to turn to him instead.

Chapter 348: Private Talk with Gu Siting

Kuroda Shio phoned him and then replied to Ling Yan.

“Mr. Gu is here right now.”

Ling Yan nodded and left her seat as the program was still going on.

After she left the room, she went to the VIP lounge and waited for Gu Siting.

However, whenever she thought of the voice dubbed by Mu Weiwei for Dream of a Long Life, she felt the hair standing up on the back of her neck.

It felt as if the deceased Gu Weiwei was hovering over her back.

She was so distracted that she did not even notice Gu Siting’s entry.

Gu Siting sat down and crossed his long legs.

“I heard that you are in trouble?”

Ling Yan pursed her lips and said, with a saddened look on her face,

“I was invited to perform with an actress from Hua Land and dubbed a section from Dream of a Long Life and the recorded voices were published online for donations.”

Gu Siting thought for a second and understood the problem.

“She did a better job?”

“I must have been very tired from the plane journey so I kind of lost my touch… I was too distracted to do that well.” Ling Yan glanced at him discreetly and said with excitement, “But Mu Weiwei who dubbed the section imitated the original soundtrack and her voice sounds too much like… Weiwei’s.”

It was better for her to tell Gu Siting in person than him finding it out by himself.

Gu Siting’s calm eyes rippled and he looked at Ling Yan who was speaking.

“Like hers?”

Ling Yan nodded as tears rose like the waves in her eyes.

“When I heard it, I thought… thought that it was Weiwei who was speaking.”

Gu Siting knew pretty well that it was Gu Weiwei who had dubbed Dream of a Long Life and she had to completely confess everything to him, if she wanted him to press down the matter of tonight.

She had to point out that it was an imitation, so that he would not dwell too much on Mu Weiwei.

Gu Siting glanced at Kuroda Shio next to him. “Is that so?”

“She does indeed sound like Ms. Weiwei.” Kuroda Shio said and logged onto the non-profitable website of the program.

Then he clicked on the second voice.

Against the background music of the original film, the girl’s voice echoed across the small recording room.

Gu Siting slowly closed his eyes as if he had already gained a picture of how she looked as she performed the section.

The dubbing only lasted for three minutes but after it ended, he asked Kuroda Shio to replay the voice.

Ling Yan looked at Gu Siting who seemed to be calm, fearing that he would be haunted by the imitated voice but she dared not utter a sound to interrupt anything.

After replaying the recording two more times, Gu Siting asked Kuroda Shio to play the section dubbed by Ling Yan.

Ling Yan squeezed some tears from her eyes and said between sobs, “I am sorry that I did not do well with the dubbing. When the result is announced, Weiwei’s Dream of a Long Life will be ruined. I am sorry I am unable to defend Dream of a Long Life well.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Siting reached out for her hands.

“She won’t blame you and I won’t let anything hurt you.”

“Brother Siting…” Ling Yan looked at and gazed at this man, who had made such a serious promise.

Gu Siting leaned sideways and said to Kuroda Shio, “Tell Ms. Bai and the responsible contact of this event, and… I need to speak with Mu Weiwei alone.”

Chapter 349: The Publication

The program was still in progress and the filmmakers were busy making donations.

Fu Shiyi was busy reading through the gossip online whilst Gu Weiwei was chit-chatting with Fu Hanzheng on the sly.

Jolin knew pretty well that his girl was going to face a huge public relations problem.

So he had been paying attention to Ling Yan’s moves.

“Ling Yan and Kuroda Shio are leaving together, it seems that they are going to do some work with PR.”

Gu Weiwei glanced at the direction where Ling Yan left and said to Jolin.

“Call Director Mo and ask for leave. We won’t be able to make it back today.”

At this moment, the whole internet was sure that Ling Yan did the second voice, so the mean comments were all aiming at the first voice.

Ling Yan was the domineering Movie Queen, who would try her best to keep her reputation and position under such a crisis.

She was definitely going to make sure that the results would not be announced or changed, before the publication tomorrow.

This would mean that all of the netizens and fans would think that Ling Yan, did the second voice.

Or, she would tell the public that she did the second voice.

If that was the case, then she had to do something to conceal the secret by blocking the program organizer and herself.

“Then, let’s wait and see the show, don’t disappoint me.” Fu Shiyi blinked at her.

Gu Weiwei gave a meaningful smile and said nothing.

The founder Ms. Bai watched the program going on smoothly and saw that the money was coming in constantly.

The online donations kept on rising due to the popularity of Ling Yan and if the situation went on like this, the historical record would be broken within 24 hours.

She said to the assistant next to her as she saw the rising figure.

“Get a present ready to thank Movie Queen Ling after the program.”

She had just said the words when another contact of the program came in with Kuroda Shio.

“Ms. Bai, we need to talk.”

Ms. Bai was certainly aware that Kuroda Shio was Gu Siting’s man, so she led him to the lounge where no one else was.

“What is it, Mr. Kuroda?”

Kuroda Shio placed a very big check on the table and said straightforwardly, “Please announce to the public that Ling Yan did the second voice.”

The founder was startled by the check on the table and then glanced at Kuroda Shio.

“But… Wasn’t it Movie Queen Ling who did the second voice?”

The other contact whispered to her, as he had heard the real result a minute ago, “Mu Weiwei did.”

Since Ling Yan performed Dream of a Long Life, they all believed that Ling Yan did the second voice, which was apparently better.

But the responsible contact had just told her that Mu Weiwei did the second voice, whilst Ling Yan did the first.

“How could that be… possible?”

The founder simply could not believe that Ling Yan would have dubbed her own movie to that degree.

Whilst Mu Weiwei put on a perfect or even a better show of dubbing. It was way too… humiliating for her.

“Ling Yan has been tired from work, so she did not do well today but if the result goes public, she will be deeply affected.” Kuroda Shio threw a look at them and warned seriously.

“Therefore, we expect that you two can tell the public that Ling Yan did the second voice.”

Chapter 350: Deal with Gu Siting

The founder Ms. Bai and the other representative exchanged a look and said embarrassedly, “Even if we say nothing, Miss. Mu Weiwei will tell the public anyway.”

It was very unfair in the filmmakers’ eyes that the lead actress of Dream of a Long Life did such a horrible performance with her own movie and now they had to conceal the secret.

They felt that it was totally unjust… but they could not offend the Gu Family.

Kuroda Shio said, “We will talk with Mu Weiwei and all you need to do is follow our request.”

“If you can successfully persuade Miss. Mu Weiwei, then we will definitely follow your orders.”

Kuroda Shio expressed his thankfulness by lowering his head, turned around and left the lounge.

The moment he came out of the longue, one of his men reported to him.

“Kuroda, Mu Weiwei and her agent are leaving now.”

Kuroda Shio hung up and dashed towards the exit of the hall and stopped Gu Weiwei and company.

“Miss. Mu, Mr. Gu needs to see you alone.”

Gu Weiwei had thought that Ling Yan would send someone to get her but since it was Kuroda Shio who came to fetch her, then it basically meant that she had successfully talked Gu Siting into helping her.

She said to Jolin and Fu Shiyi, “Wait for me for a few minutes.”

“What for?” Fu Shiyi stopped her.

His brother was on the way, that Gu person could simply meet his brother instead, if he had the guts!

“Just ten minutes, I will be back soon.” Gu Weiwei said the words and left with Kuroda Shio.

Fu Shiyi was annoyed – his brother had warned her not to meet Gu Siting again but now, she was on the way to see Gu Siting and maybe his brother would punish him again!

Gu Weiwei went to the second floor and came to the lounge prepared for Ling Yan.

Kuroda Shio opened the door and asked her to enter the room, whilst waiting for her outside with the door closed.

The moment Gu Weiwei entered the longue, she noticed Gu Siting and Ling Yan seated on the sofa. She smiled calmly.

“Mr. Gu wanted to see me?”

Gu Siting sized up the girl who had just entered through the door and said, after gazing at her for a few more minutes, “I expect that Miss. Mu will stay silent after the result of today’s dubbing comes out, tomorrow.”

Having said the words, he pointed at the cheque on the table and asked her to sign any figure she desired.

Gu Weiwei glanced at the cheque book and then glanced at Ling Yan next to him.

“So Mr. Gu would like to buy the second voice for Movie Queen Ling?”

“You can fill in a figure you desire and we, the Gu Family, can satisfy your other desires as well.” Gu Siting said.

Gu Weiwei smiled deeply and gloomily said, “But what I would like to see most, is how Movie Queen Ling is humiliated after the results are announced.”

A flash of loathing crossed Ling Yan’s eyes but she had to conceal the hatred in front of Gu Siting.

“Miss. Mu, I did not do my best today but this result would hurt Dream of a Long Life. Agree with us and you will have endless benefits.”

Gu Weiwei smiled coldly. “What if I don’t?”

Gu Siting’s elegant face sank at those words.

“Then you and your agent will be out of Hua Land, indefinitely.”

Gu Weiwei stayed silent for a moment and then heard the vibration of the phone. She picked it up and saw the text.

Then, she signed a huge figure on the cheque.

“Anyway, I like Hua Land and also… I love money too.”

Gu Siting seriously sized up this girl, who had accepted the cheque, and asked, “Mu Weiwei, do you really not want to join us in Yaoshi?”

Gu Weiwei waved the cheque. “Can I leave now?”

“Since you have accepted the deal, then please make sure that you and your agent stay silent when the results are announced.” Gu Siting warned as he threw a side glance at her.

“Otherwise, it is very easy for the Gu Family to extract someone from Hua Land.”

Chapter 351: How to Fight

“Don’t worry, I have taken your money, so I will definitely keep mine and my agent’s mouths shut!”

Gu Weiwei smiled, opened the door and walked out.

His threat was totally effective on ordinary people… But for her, it was nothing.

She went downstairs and was greeted by Fu Shiyi and Jolin the moment she came out of the elevator.

“What did he want?”

“He gave me 50 million yuan to stay silent after the results are announced tomorrow.” Gu Weiwei confessed.

“And you are okay with it?” Fu Shiyi asked.

Gu Weiwei nodded and brought out the cheque.

“Of course.”

“You…” Fu Shiyi pointed at her and got annoyed.

Then he turned to Jolin.

“Give us a minute, I need to talk with her about something.”

Jolin knew that the Fu Family and the Gu Family were enemies and Third Master was definitely displeased when his girl accepted the Gu Family’s deal.

So he took a step away but still warned Fu Shiyi.

“You can talk, but don’t you dare do something to her!”

Fu Shiyi drove away Jolin and asked furiously, “Are you so poor? You can turn to my brother if you want money, he can give you everything!”

“Are you trying to piss my brother off by accepting Gu Siting’s money?”

“I will not help you anymore! I will tell my brother later that you not only met Gu Siting but also accepted his money!”

….

Gu Weiwei waited, with her arms crossed, until he finished complaining.

“You dare to do such stupid things?”

“You took Gu Siting’s money and you are stopping me from complaining?” Fu Shiyi said angrily.

She knew pretty well what the Fu Family and the Gu Family were like, so had she ever thought about his brother when she accepted Gu Siting’s money?

Gu Weiwei looked around and made sure that no one from Gu Siting’s side was tailing her, so she lowered her voice and told him her own plan.

Fu Shiyi looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly understood the whole point.

“Damn, you are more sly than before after getting together with my brother.”

No wonder they said that the longer you stayed with good people, the better you would become and the longer you stayed with bad people, the worse you would become. Definitely a true proverb!

After being with his sly brother, she had become cunning too!

Gu Weiwei stuffed the cheque into his suit pocket and said with a smile, “Now, you know what you are going to do, right?”

“Of course, of course.” Fu Shiyi nodded obediently and whispered. “I will distract Jolin and you can go on the date with my brother.”

Gu Weiwei said happily, “Thanks. Actually, when you don’t cause trouble, you are quite lovely.”

“No need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, get married and have a child with my brother.” Fu Shiyi suggested with a smile.

Their plan to train the demon child had been fully fleshed out but how would they start the plan, if their children were never born?!

“Why not get married first if you want a child so badly.” Gu Weiwei thought for a while and said, “Oh yes, I heard from Grandma Fu that…”

Fu Shiyi dashed off at the words. “Jolin, come and join me, we’re going to the company, something important has come up!”

“You are not my artist.” Jolin watched his own girl leaving without waiting for him, after receiving a phone call.

“She needs to do something at home.” Fu Shiyi stopped him.

Jolin found it suspicious – was it related to that mysterious Baby Zheng again?

“What about the dubbing, if she just leaves like this…”

The current situation was that the first voice was receiving terrible comments from Ling Yan’s fans and if the second voice became Ling Yan’s… Then his girl would be seen as the person behind the first voice, which was just awful!

Fu Shiyi smiled mysteriously and said as he rubbed his hands, “Don’t worry, Movie Queen Ling will definitely be slapped so hard across her face.”

Chapter 352: Trouble

Since the program was still going on, there was almost no one in the parking lot.

Gu Weiwei soon found Fu Hanzheng’s car and went inside.

“I’ve already asked for leave from the director and I will leave for the set tomorrow. Let’s go home.”

Instead of letting Xu Qian drive the car, Fu Hanzheng turned to her.

“You met Gu Siting?”

Gu Weiwei helplessly sighed – even if Fu Shiyi said nothing, her bodyguard would still report the news to him.

She nodded honestly. “Yes, he offered me 50 million yuan to buy something from me.”

Fu Hanzheng squinted. “And you agreed?”

“Yes.” Gu Weiwei took hold of his arms with a smile and leaned herself against him, seeing his displeased face.

“If I hadn’t agreed, he would not have released me. I was in a hurry to meet you.”

Fu Hanzheng’s heart softened but he was a bit worried too.

“He gave you trouble?”

Gu Weiwei nodded and threw a pitiful look at him.

“He threatened that if I didn’t obey him, he would make me disappear from Hua Land.”

A flash of coldness moved over Fu Hanzheng’s eyes. “Maybe it is him who should disappear from Hua Land.”

How dare he threaten his woman in his territory!

If not for the Dorrans Family, he would have thrown him down to hell.

Gu Weiwei complained instantly when she heard what he said.

“Let’s just go home alright? I am so hungry and sleepy, I want to sleep.”

When Fu Hanzheng heard the words, he decided to not dwell on Gu Siting anymore but instead asked Xu Qian to drive on.

“To Landscape Villa.”

Leaning against him, Gu Weiwei mumbled with her eyes closed, “I may cause some trouble tomorrow, a big one.”

“It is okay, I can help you clean it up.”

Instead of asking her anything more, Fu Hanzheng stayed silent. He already guessed what she was up to, judging from what her bodyguard and Fu Shiyi told him through the texts.

She could make any trouble she wanted because he would always clean it up for her.

Gu Weiwei did not say a word but showed a very sweet smile on the face.

Since the event’s location was very close to Landscape Villa, they went back to the villa instead.

The previous night’s work and the early flight that morning had made Gu Weiwei so tired that she ate some food and went to sleep.

Fu Hanzheng did not leave home for work until she fell asleep and did not come home from the company until the evening.

The moment he entered the villa, he saw the girl dressed in his shirt and walking around barefoot.

She looked so pure and beautiful just like an elf and when she smiled, she looked so charming.

Seeing him looking her up and down, Gu Weiwei looked down at the baggy shirt she had on.

“My clothes and shoes are not here.”

She had never moved in again after she had moved out, so of course there were none of her things here.

So she had to wear his clothes instead.

Fu Hanzheng reached out for her long hair and smiled.

“I will have them delivered tomorrow.”

Actually, on the way home he had already brought some of her clothes with him in the car but he did not mind her being dressed like this.

“Is there anything you need to do now?” Gu Weiwei looked up and asked.

“No.” Fu Hanzheng’s cold eyes looked so gentle.

Gu Weiwei smiled. “Great, let’s talk about something serious.”

“Okay.” Having agreed, Fu Hanzheng picked her up.

Gu Weiwei was startled and she threw her arms around his neck. “What are you doing? I said that I need to talk to you about something serious.”

Fu Hanzheng kissed her on the lips and said with a low voice, “Let’s go back to the room and talk about it in bed.”

When she was dressed like this and walking around in front of him, he truly had no thought for anything else apart from passion and love.

Chapter 353: Show Starts

The donation that lasted for 24 hours soon came to the end.

Tens of millions of netizens and Ling Yan’s fans were waiting to see who on earth dubbed which section.

However, everyone by default thought that the second voice was done by Ling Yan.

After all, Dream of a Long Life was created with her as the original model and no one should have known Dream of a Long Life better than her.

What was more, her opponent was none other than a newbie called Mu Weiwei who had only played a supporting role in a movie.

It was totally natural that people would think that Ling Yan had done the second voice, which exceeded the original soundtrack.

An anonymous donor made a 50-million donation at the last minute before the donation ended.

As the donation ended, the official website of the program revealed the two mysterious dubbing actresses, and confirmed the netizens expectations of Dream of a Long Life.

[The program of this year has received an unprecedented success and thank you very much for joining us Movie Queen Ling Yan, who made the second dubbing, and thank you very much Mu Weiwei for performing the first dub]

The announcement hit the headlines of all the major entertainment news platforms.

The tag ‘Dream of a Long Life Ling Yan’, had occupied the top search and Ling Yan’s fans as well as all the audience of Dream of a Long Life, all spoke highly of the result.

Although for everyone, it was an obvious result. Even so, when the result was announced, they were still quite proud of their Movie Queen.

Years had passed since Dream of a Long Life was released, yet she was still able to repeat the classic section so perfectly – she was indeed a legendary Movie Queen!

Li Xing’er instantly reposted the result after it was announced.

[Sister Yan is indeed a legend!]

Many actors of the film industry also spoke highly of the second voice by Ling Yan after the result was announced.

Across the entire internet, words that spoke highly of Ling Yan could be seen everywhere and Mu Weiwei’s Weibo was full of the opposite comments.

[The voice dubbed by you is violating my ears!]

[You are not an actress, how could you do such a terrible dubbing job, for the classic Dream of a Long Life?]

[Learn from Ling Yan, you are not qualified for the film industry with such abilities!]

[She is a legend but you are just nobody, apart from a pretty face.]

[She donated 10 million yuan, how much did you donate?]

….

Although some fans were defending her, most of the haters left mean comments on her Weibo.

Of course, some of them were haters bought by Li Xing’er who tried to humiliate her through Ling Yan.

After all, she was so jealous when Mu Weiwei gained such a great resource as the Eyes of Eagle, after already starring in the Long Wind.

She might have better resources than her at the moment but compared to Ling Yan, Mu Weiwei was nothing.

Mu Weiwei was just a minor role in front of Ling Yan.

Gu Weiwei did not say anything on Weibo or in front of the media at all.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, two hours had passed since the result was announced and Movie Queen Long was spoken highly of all the time.

But the official Weibo account of Shiyi Culture and Fu Shiyi published a post at the same time, which contained only one sentence.

[So this second voice is worth only 50 million?]

Chapter 354: The Real Second Voice

A video was attached to the post, showing the scene in which Gu Weiwei was dubbing for Dream of a Long Life in the room, just one night before.

In the video, the girl was reading the script whilst adjusting how to breathe and behave properly.

Then she decided to do the recording but was stopped by Fu Shiyi. Fu Shiyi thought that she was in too much a hurry, so he found a section for her to watch.

Then he stressed that she should make better preparations and start again when she was ready.

After a few minutes of preparation, the girl started the three-minute recording of Dream of a Long Life.

All the netizens who clicked on the video were dumbfounded when they saw the girl reading the first line.

It was not the first voice announced by the program but the second!

The girl was performing the section of Dream of a Long Life with the perfect voice and expression.

At the beginning, it was only Fu Shiyi’s fans who saw the video but then all the artists of Shiyi Culture reposted the post by Fu Shiyi.

Then, when everyone was speaking highly of this legendary Movie Queen Ling, the video that showed the total opposite of the truth, exploded online.

The content of the video, plus what Fu Shiyi had written, basically told everyone the truth.

Ling Yan did not do the dubbing of the second voice but the newbie Mu Weiwei did.

However, when the voice was published without the name mentioned, the public and Ling Yan’s fans thought that it was Ling Yan who did the second voice.

At that time, Ling Yan cooperated with the host and made them tell the public that it was her who did the second voice, just to keep her reputation and position.

Then, she offered 50 million yuan to gag Mu Weiwei as the payment for the second voice.

When the truth was concealed, Mu Weiwei’s fans and the fans of the rumored couple thought that it was their idol who did the first voice.

After all, her opponent was a legendary movie queen and it was natural if their idol was worse than her.

In order not to draw more haters, they had to tolerate any provocative comments but when they realized that it was their idol who did the second voice… they became so fierce after seeing the truth revealed by Fu Shiyi.

[Damn you legendary Movie Queen, damn you program!]

[No wonder the legendary Movie Queen had donated so much! That is a gagging fee!]

[You must have bought the trophy when you performed the dubbing of your own film so terribly!]

[@EchoingProgram, we want an explanation!]

[Movie Queen Ling was exceeded by our idol, so she had to keep her own reputation by buying out the second voice]

[Please, Movie Queen, how much is the trophy? I would like to buy two to play with too…]

[@LingYan @EchoingProgram, you are liars in front of everyone!]

….

Fu Shiyi had many fans and when all the artists of Shiyi Culture reposted the post, the truth exploded.

When the founder and the representative received the news, the situation was totally irrevocable.

“Didn’t Mr. Gu and Mu Weiwei come to an agreement already? Why was it revealed?”

What the non-profit organization feared the most, was the scandal that showed they lied to the public and the one who revealed it had a video and the truth.

“He did come to an agreement with Mu Weiwei but it was Third Master who revealed the truth. He lacks neither money nor fame, who can gag him?”

If it had been Mu Weiwei who revealed the truth, the situation would not have spread so fast considering that she was a minor star; then they might have had time for public relations.

But it was Fu Shiyi who revealed the truth, and they simply could not do anything about it!

Chapter 355: My Turn

However, it was not Fu Shiyi who revealed the news.

It was Gu Weiwei who borrowed Fu Shiyi’s account and posted the news.

The moment she uploaded the video, Fu Shiyi informed every artist in the company to repost the post and those who did not would be stopped from doing all kinds of work.

Therefore, within half an hour, the post exploded online.

“Third Master, we have to head to the promotional event for the new album.”

Fu Shiyi put on his sunglasses and left the company in satisfaction – he made his way to go to the promotional site.

It was an event decided the night before and only some familiar media friends were informed but the purpose was not to promote the new album but to continue countering Ling Yan.

He got into the car and called Gu Weiwei who was residing in the Landscape Villa.

“Sister-in-law, so you had planned to slap that Movie Queen Ling’s face from yesterday when you were doing the dubbing, right?”

Because at the time she had suggested that Jolin should film the scene in which she was dubbing.

She had known that her dubbing would exceed Ling Yan’s and that Ling Yan would spend money to buy the second voice.

She went to accept the 50 million cheque from Gu Siting because she wanted them to assume that a minor actress like her, would not dare to utter a word after she received the money and was threatened.

But they were wrong. This girl had become increasingly sneaky after being influenced by his brother.

She had accepted the money so that they would not feel alarmed and then she announced the results, when Movie Queen Ling was being highly spoken of, across the whole internet.

In this way, they slapped the Movie Queen’s face hard, out of nowhere.

Gu Weiwei was leaning against Fu Hanzheng who was reading some files in the villa.

“Well, that was a rare opportunity. She has shown me her face and it is totally worth slapping!”

At first, she did not expect to start a war with Ling Yan but when she insinuated that the Dream of a Long Life sequel would be made as a tribute to her, it disgusted her thoroughly.

“I did what you told me to last night and you are becoming really cunning, just like my brother.” Fu Shiyi said.

She said that she needed his account to reveal the news because he had many followers.

The Fu Family and the Gu Family were each other’s worst enemy and it was totally natural if he tried to ruin Gu Siting’s woman.

Also, she turned down his suggestion of asking some important figures to do the reposting but instead asked the artists of the company to repost it instead.

Because in this way, Gu Siting and Ling Yan would not sense something was on the way.

When Ling Yan was spoken highly of by the netizens and fans and extolled high into the sky.

She slapped her right across her face, so that she fell from the sky like a comet.

In this way she had made Ling Yan the bad person.

Gu Weiwei, instead, now became an actress who was bullied and who received a lot of comforting words and cries for justice from fans.

Having heard the words, Gu Weiwei glanced at the man next to her.

“Your brother says that we are cunning.”

Fu Shiyi shivered – what was his brother doing at home?

Then he heard his brother’s terrifying voice.

“He can come and say that right to my face.”

“Sister-in-law, I mean it positively! Honestly!” Fu Shiyi explained quickly.

Feeling too lazy to explain anything more, Gu Weiwei asked, “How much longer before the press conference starts?”

Fu Shiyi said excitedly, “I am on the way there. Watch and see how I perform.”

On the other side, Gu Siting and Ling Yan were on their way to the airport to leave the country, when the news came out.

Ling Yan was so furious that she almost spit out blood, when Kuroda Shio’s news arrived.

“Brother Siting, what should we do?”

Chapter 356: Scandal (Extra)

Gu Siting was in charge of a huge family business and he had witnessed numerous incidents. He certainly would not panic because of such a tiny matter.

“Is there any method to press it down?”

Kuroda Shio shook his head seriously. “I’m afraid not, the social media platforms have exploded in Hua Land!

Ling Yan was so furious that she was thoroughly shaking. Her face was turning pale.

“Mu Weiwei got the money, why didn’t she keep her word?”

“It was not Mu Weiwei but Fu Shiyi, from the Fu Family, who revealed the news.” Kuroda Shio said as he opened the Weibo page of Fu Shiyi and showed it to Gu Siting and Ling Yan.

Seeing the girl in the video as well as her expression and gaze, Ling Yan shivered.

What a gaze and expression…

It was exactly the same way that Gu Weiwei demonstrated to her repeatedly, when the scene was filmed. It was exactly the same gaze and expression that she had told her to perform with.

And the voice sounded so similar too.

She was startled when she saw Mu Weiwei, who seemed to have taken the soul of Gu Weiwei.

Gu Siting’s eyes looked profound when he saw the girl in the video.

Kuroda Shio turned on the TV in the room when he heard his men passing over the report.

On TV Fu Shiyi was promoting his new album and he was now in the middle of a press conference.

Due to the amazing news that just popped up online, the journalists kept asking questions about the second voice.

Journalist asked, “Third Master, the 50 million you mentioned in the post… does it mean that someone offered 50 million yuan to buy out the dubbing by Mu Weiwei from your company?”

“Gu Siting and Movie Queen Ling did offer 50 million yuan but I donated the money already.” Fu Shiyi looked indifferent.

He never implied anything.

Fu Shiyi always pointed out the truth instead of saving anyone’s face.

The journalist asked, “What about Miss. Mu Weiwei? Will she have any reaction to this matter?”

“They offered her money and threatened her, saying that if she dared to utter a word, they would make her disappear from Hua Land! The girl is too scared to go out now.” Fu Shiyi snorted and said provocatively.

“It was me who revealed the news… do you dare to make me disappear?”

….

Gu Siting coldly said, as he watched the interview on TV, “He prepared for it.”

Kuroda Shio shook his head helplessly. “I have been watching out for the media from all sides but none of the important figures had been informed that they would reveal the truth.”

“Fu Shiyi spread the news through his artists and the press conference is actually a promotional event for his new album. It seems that… he had made some preparations.”

It had only been an hour since the news exploded and now a press conference had arrived.

It was a pre-planned thing! They had intended to attack them so suddenly, so that they had barely any time to counter the problem.

Ling Yan felt her heart aching as she looked at Gu Siting who looked rather deep.

“Brother Siting, what are we going to do? What are we going to do now?”

Before this, she was an unshakeable legendary Movie Queen but now, this scandal, if not well dealt with, would tremendously affect her position in the film industry.

A newbie of the film industry had unexpectedly exceeded her in dubbing the film she had acted in.

That was a slap on her face as the lead actress.

Also, the first voice that she herself had dubbed, had been fiercely demeaned by her own fans and the comments were too mean to be heard properly.

She had thought that the whole thing was under control, when the second voice was published as hers, she received so many beautiful comments.

But now Fu Shiyi had revealed the truth.

She not only did a worse job than Mu Weiwei but also threatened her and tried to buy her out, so that she could be the second voice.

Everyone online who knew the truth was protesting, hoping to get Mu Weiwei justice and cursing her instead.

It was just a section of dubbing but she was the main actress of Dream of a Long Life and the legendary Movie Queen!

Chapter 357: Covering Scandal

Although Ling Yan hated Mu Weiwei to the bone, she knew pretty well that if she demeaned a woman in front of a man, she would look like an evil woman.

So instead of commenting on anything about Mu Weiwei, she put on a very sad and helpless expression, so that Gu Siting would definitely help her solve the problem.

After hearing what Kuroda Shio told him, Gu Siting looked at Ling Yan and said, “It is impossible to cover up the scandal now, so we have to remove the focus from you, so you aren’t impacted too much.”

Ling Yan nodded with pursed lips. “I am sorry Brother Siting, it is my fault that I have brought you so much trouble.”

Gu Siting looked at Kuroda Shio. “Call the ambulance and tell the media that Ling Yan can’t be affected during her rehabilitation period, so now she has been hospitalized.”

“Okay.” Kuroda Shio directly called the best hospital in the capital city.

“And find something else to cover up this matter, some news that can move the focus away.” Gu Siting said.

It was such a sudden thing, that they had lost the best moment to deal with the matter.

If it had been Mu Weiwei who had revealed the news, they could have dealt with it but they could hardly do anything to make the Fu Family change their stance.

The matter had already been spread and the more they tried to explain something, the worse it would get.

Therefore, only by removing the public’s attention, so they could focus on something else, would this matter be solved.

Kuroda Shio said, “I have already gotten someone searching for a proper replacement, it should be ready in two hours.”

“Do it as soon as possible.” Gu Siting nodded and said after a while, “And… find Mu Weiwei, I need to meet her.”

Ling Yan got slightly startled. “Why are you meeting her?”

Could it be because her voice was so similar to Gu Weiwei’s?

Instead of answering her, Gu Siting said,

“Get yourself prepared… we are heading to the hospital.”

Back in the bedroom, Ling Yan felt very uncomfortable when she thought about what Gu Siting said about Mu Weiwei.

It took them ages before they were finally together. She would not allow anyone to ruin their present life.

Gu Weiwei, who had been living in the Gu Family for more than twenty years, had been defeated by her and Mu Weiwei was just an imposter, who knew something about Gu Weiwei. She was someone that would be easy to deal with.

Kuroda Shio reminded him with a small whisper in the living room, as he saw Ling Yan entering the bedroom.

“Mr. Gu, Mu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi seem to have a very close relationship, it might be a bit difficult to do something about her.”

Although it was Fu Shiyi who revealed the truth, Mu Weiwei was very much related.

They might not be able to do something about Fu Shiyi but someone else had to answer for this situation but Mu Weiwei seemed to be closely related to Fu Shiyi somehow.

“I never said that I am going to do something about her.” Gu Siting countered.

“Then… what do you mean?” Kuroda Shio could not figure out what he was thinking about.

Gu Siting got up and walked over to the floor to ceiling windows and said, as he looked out of the window, “She looks so much like Weiwei when she plays the piano and she did so well in the dubbing too… What if she can look a bit more like… her?”

Startled for a few seconds, Kuroda Shio asked with a questioning tone, “Are you going to bring her back to A Land?”

“Find her first, then we will see when we meet.” Gu Siting said with a low voice.

After Mu Weiwei appeared, he seemed to think more and more about Weiwei.

Kuroda Shio replied with a lowered head. “I will have her found as soon as possible.”

Chapter 358: Covering Scandal 2

When Mu Weiwei’s fans, as well as the other netizens, were furiously asking for an explanation from Ling Yan and the program, some media companies suddenly revealed that Ling Yan was sent to the hospital because of too much stimulation and that she was still in the recovery period.

So when Ling Yan’s fans heard the news, they started to counter as well.

[It is just a section of dubbing, Ling Yan is still the lead actress of Dream of a Long Life]

[Ling Yan is still in her recovery period and she did not put her best efforts into dubbing – must someone make a big fuss out of it to guilt her to death?]

[President Gu bought the dubbing for his girlfriend and is totally a role model boyfriend!]

[What a troublesome newbie!]

….

Gu Weiwei switched off the TV after finishing watching Fu Shiyi’s press conference and she did not check her phone that often either.

Therefore, she did not receive the news that Ling Yan was hospitalized.

But later on, when Fu Shiyi finished the press conference, he came back to show off his support for her.

“Sister-in-law, did you see how excellently I performed in front of the journalists?”

“I did.” Gu Weiwei nodded with a smile – he was a fierce talker indeed!

The journalists did not ask him for their real names but he straightforwardly exposed them.

“You should have become a CrossTalk actor instead.”

Fu Shiqin snorted but it felt so great to have seen the Gu man being countered.

“I just heard that Movie Queen Ling got so furious that she was hospitalized.” Fu Shiyi threw himself onto the sofa and snorted. “They claim that she can’t be stimulated, because she is still recovering, something like that. I am not her father, why should I care if she is stimulated.”

“I know pretty well what they are going to do – they will first send Ling Yan to the hospital and then her fans will be so heart-broken that they will start countering you, by saying that you are making a big fuss.” Fu Shiqin said.

Fu Shiyi took a cookie from Fu Shiqin’s plate and continued on from his brother.

“Also, they are trying to find someone else’s negative situation to use as news to distract everyone. It is the most common PR method to use another scandal to cover this one.”

It was good that they had been fast and secretive about the whole thing, so that Gu Siting lost the opportunity to react but when he did realize that something was going on, it was already too late.

So even if there was PR work being done for Ling Yan, it was still going to be a non-removable scandal on her resume.

After all, it was a firm truth that they were hardly able to find an excuse for.

Gu Weiwei glanced at the two brothers on the sofa. They were almost like two CrossTalk actors.

“It is just a small stain, it wouldn’t really ruin Ling Yan.”

“Unfortunately, they did not send her to He Chi’s hospital, otherwise He Chi could kill her right on the operating table.”

Fu Shiyi gritted his teeth and sighed pitifully.

Fu Shiqin glanced at Gu Weiwei. “But you are the victim, why are you doing nothing?”

If Fu Shiyi got involved, she would not have to do anything.

Gu Weiwei smiled sinisterly, just like a cunning fox.

“Well, Third Master is better for this job.”

If she went to counter Ling Yan at this moment as a newbie, she would draw herself haters.

She would also offend many people in the film industry.

Maybe Gu Siting would even give her trouble and then she would have to reveal her relationship with Fu Hanzheng to keep herself safe.

But if Fu Shiyi did the work, no one would dare to do anything to him, the Third Master of the Fu Family!

She, on the other hand, had successfully created an image of herself as a frightened, minor actress and Gu Siting would only think that it was because of the grudge between the Fu Family and the Gu Family, that Fu Shiyi made this fuss against Ling Yan.

Fu Shiqin saw the door of the study on the second floor open, so he went through the phone and read aloud.

“But if he does this, your rumored couple fans would say that Third Master is such a perfect role model, as a boyfriend who defends his girlfriend.”

“Third Master is definitely true to Weiwei!”

“Weiwei, just get together with Third Master, he is your true love.”

….

Fu Shiyi glanced at the stairs where his own brother was watching with a glowering expression, he threw himself onto Fu Shiqin, trying to strangle him.

“Damn you, go to hell!”

Chapter 359: Meeting with Gu Siting

On the sofa the twin brothers were in a fierce fight against each other.

Fu Shiyi had his hands around Fu Shiqin’s neck, whilst Fu Shiqin was pulling Fu Shiyi’s hair and ears.

“You! You are murdering your brother!”

“You are not my brother, you cunny man!”

“Spill out all the snacks you sneaked in last time!”

“You pretended to be me and flirted with girls, so that I had a scandal! I want to take revenge!”

….

Gu Weiwei frowned and watched the two brothers who wrestled with each other, from the sofa to the floor.

They must have been the enemies in their previous lives.

Fu Hanzheng came downstairs to her side and looked unbothered as he saw the two brothers wrestling with each other.

“Let’s go.”

The two brothers stopped their wrestling and glanced about. “Where are you two going?”

“Leaving the place for you guys. We are going back to the apartment.” Gu Weiwei smiled happily.

Fu Hanzheng glanced at Fu Shiqin whose neck was under Fu Shiyi’s hands. “Finish the remaining work in the study! You will attend the meeting for me tomorrow morning.”

“I have been working overtime for days! Now you are tossing me all the work?” Fu Shiqin protested in displeasure.

Whenever his girlfriend was at home, he would toss everything to him, so that he could have a proper date with his girlfriend.

Staring at the displeased brother, Fu Hanzheng said, “What is the point of having you, if you can’t even complete such a tiny matter?”

“…”

Fu Shiqin bit his lips and did not dare to utter a word.

Fu Shiyi laughed at the sight of his bitter face but he soon stopped when his brother snapped at him.

“And the funds you borrowed from me last time, will be paid back with double the interest.”

Having said these words, he left the villa with Gu Weiwei in his arms, heading towards Jinxiu Compound.

“Brother, please, brother! You can’t do this, even the usury isn’t as cruel as you…”

But the couple left without saying a word.

Fu Shiyi and Fu Shiqin lost interest in wrestling. Instead, they sat down on the carpet and started to complain to each other.

“See, if I am not your brother, who is?”

“Haven’t you been used to the fact that we are probably adopted?”

“When will they have children, honestly?”

“If you want them to get married and have babies soon, you better share some of our brother’s workload, so he can have time for dating! Then they will have babies very soon.”

“Will our plan still work? It sounds increasingly dangerous now.”

“Then what should we do? If we fight we get bad results! However, if we get his son to join us, then everything will work out!”

….

Gu Weiwei got into the car and threw a glance at the two brothers who were left alone in the house.

“Is it really so proper of you to punish your brothers like this?”

Brothers of other families were always in harmony with each other but only they were so special.

The twin brothers mistreated each other and they combined forces to fight against the eldest brother, so they could both be punished by him together.

“They are already used to that.” Fu Hanzheng said.

“I have a video meeting later, so I will drive you to the set after dinner.” Fu Hanzheng said.

“Okay.”

Gu Weiwei nodded. If he was driving her there, she needed to tell Jolin about it.

She was just about to call Jolin when his text arrived, saying that there was new work for her as a spokeswoman.

She thought for a while and sent the address of a cafe in the neighbourhood.

“Jolin and I are going to have a brief meeting in the cafe in the neighbourhood. You can go and have the video meeting first.”

After checking the time, Fu Hanzheng drove her to the cafe without protesting.

However, it was not until Gu Weiwei came into the cafe that she saw Gu Siting, rather than Jolin, waiting for her there.

Chapter 360: Her Matter and Mine

At first, she had thought that if Fu Shiyi stepped forward to deal with Ling Yan, Gu Siting would consider that it was a grudge held between the Fu Family and the Gu Family and that she was not going to be considered at all.

Also, she had promised to stay silent and she truly didn’t utter any words to anyone among the public.

Plus, Ling Yan was hospitalized, wasn’t she?

What was he doing here pretending to be her agent instead of being in the hospital with her?

“Mr. Gu, I did not say a thing about Ms. Ling Yan and, I could not stop Third Master from doing anything.”

Instead of asking anything more about Ling Yan, Gu Siting pointed at the seat opposite him.

“Sit down, please.”

Gu Weiwei looked calm and took the seat.

“Where is my agent?”

“He is safe…” Gu Siting offered her a cup of coffee. “If Miss. Mu can answer my question honestly.”

Gu Weiwei smiled. “What do you want?”

“Where did you learn to do the dubbing?” Gu Siting asked her as he gazed at her, observing every change in her expression.

“I learned it from the original soundtrack, and all I did was imitate the original voice. Is there anything wrong?” Gu Weiwei asked with a smile.

So he came to her because he heard the dubbing that sounded like her?

But he already had Ling Yan, why did he care about this?

“It sounds very much like someone’s voice.” Gu Siting said.

Gu Weiwei pretended to be surprised. “Movie Queen Ling’s voice?”

Of course she knew that he was referring to her own voice.

But few people knew that it was her who dubbed the original movie.

“Not her.”

Gu Siting gazed deep into her eyes, trying hard to find something he desired but this 19-year-old girl seemed to be far away from what he was looking for.

Gu Weiwei smiled but did not ask anything more.

“If you don’t have any other questions, please release my agent.”

“Are you Fu Shiyi’s girlfriend?” Gu Siting asked.

Many people had already said that what Fu Shiyi did to Ling Yan was for her sake.

“That is a private question.” Gu Weiwei dodged the question and checked the time on the phone. “Mr. Gu, please, release my agent.”

If she stayed any longer, Fu Hanzheng would know that she was meeting him here.

Also, he would probably be here within ten minutes.

Those two had been each other’s worst enemies and it would be a terrible scenario if they did meet.

“Please answer my question.” Gu Siting’s handsome face looked cold.

“I have a boyfriend but it is not him.” Gu Weiwei sounded impatient.

Gu Siting took a sip of coffee after getting the answer.

“I would like to invite Miss. Mu to live in A Land.”

“I am sorry, I like Hua Land and I am not leaving here.” Gu Weiwei turned him down straightforwardly.

For whatever reason it was, she would never want to leave to go to A Land.

Gu Siting stood up and was about to leave.

“I don’t accept your rejection.”

When the words were spoken, the door of the cafe was opened and Fu Hanzheng, who was dressed in a navy colored business suit arrived, looking lethally cold.

“You can talk with me about anything you want to talk about with her.”

Gu Siting ceased his steps and looked cold.

“President Fu, it has nothing to do with you.”

Although the Fu Family was dominating Hua Land, Fu Hanzheng did not have to come over to him personally.

Fu Hanzheng checked Gu Weiwei and found her well, then he turned to Gu Siting in a very cold manner.

“Her matter is mine too.”
