With Mike's praise for Gu Jiuci at the front of their minds, no one wanted to embarrass themselves. They all put in 200% effort.Although it was an indoor shoot, a small mound had been built against a green screen.In the finale of the novel, everyone climbed to the top of a mountain outside the city and shouted out their dreams."Come, everyone, take your places! I'm in a rush! Hurry!"Mike's explosive temper when finishing up was not a lie. He urged them to hurry with impatience.Gu Jiuci immediately went to the spot on the slope that was her position when she suddenly heard a shout behind her.She raised her head instinctively and just happened to see Du Fanghua in front of her, who had lost her balance because of her heels, come tumbling down toward her.In that instant, Gu Jiuci stretched out an arm without hesitation and caught Du Fanghua's waist."Are you all right?"Without warning, Du Fanghua fell into Gu Jiuci's arms. Shock and embarrassment flashed across her face.
Gu Jiuci opened her mouth indifferently and set off a heavyweight bomb. Xu Yun'er's eyes went round with shock. "Gu Jiuci, this idiot, she actually called me cousin right here."Just at this moment, the director called Gu Jiuci away."Coming!"Gu Jiuci rose calmly and left Xu Yun'er alone to deal with everyone's suspicions.Even Li Shasha was slightly surprised. "You're her cousin?"The looks the other actors turned on Xu Yun'er also became more thoughtful. They were looking at her now the same way they were looking at Gu Jiuci earlier."Xu Yun'er, I thought you were a kind and honest person. Did you get your role by throwing money at the producers too?""You're misunderstanding..."For the first time, Xu Yun'er experienced such incoherency and what it meant to end up worse than you began. She wanted to slander Gu Jiuci, but had ended up slandering herself instead."Everything you've heard is just rumor. If Ci and I got in with money, why wouldn't we have taken the important r
Gu Jiuci looked at her phone, unconsciously staring at the black screen, then she opened it again.She was having some trouble sleeping."Gu Jiuci, when did you become so unreasonable? Weren't you terrified of the devil in your last life?"She muttered absent-mindedly to herself and suddenly found that her mind was filled with Huo Mingche's face.His face when he was gazing at her with deep emotion, his face when he peeled shrimps for her, and his face that night when he confined her under his body and asked if she would give him...That image was branded in her mind and was impossible to remove.Gu Jiuci awkwardly covered her eyes with her hand. "Why do I keep thinking of that night?"She suddenly discovered, to her surprise, that she had become less and less afraid of the devil. To the point that the things Huo Mingche had done in her previous life were gradually fading from her mind, and some had even been forgotten.The clock ticked over to 12 p.m. Gu Jiuci was sure she wou
Si Chen made an apologetic expression, but then turned and picked up her phone eagerly and stared intently at her WeChat messages.At this moment, Gu Jiuci's phone also rang. It was a document from Tang Yu. In it was the information concerning the financial status of the Yu Corporation that she had asked him to investigate?What fortuitous timing!Gu Jiuci cheered in her heart and abruptly raised her head to say to Si Chen, "Si Chen, did you really go to the amusement park with Yu Gu that day?""Of course, we went on a lot of rides and even took photos together."Speaking of Yu Gu, Si Chen immediately remembered that day at the amusement park and a content smile curved her lips."Then did he bring up his family's situation with you?"Gu Jiuci questioned her step by step."Family situation... I don't think he did. However, he did talk about our future. Recently, the Yu Corporation has a large project they want to work on with our family. Once we are married, our ties will be fur
"I can't give such a person any chances!"Gu Jiuci's expression fell. "Looks like Chenchen is more infatuated with Yu Gu than I thought."She seemed to see herself in Si Chen. "How can I make Si Chen see the truth?""Alright, let's not talk about Yu Gu anymore. Let's keep practicing. There isn't much time until the interview with Juilliard!"Si Chen voluntarily changed the subject and Gu Jiuci couldn't say anything more.At dinner time, Si Chen's mother warmly invited Gu Jiuci to eat with them. Si Chen's father was busy at the company and so the three women ate together. During this time, the television was playing the hourly news."Next, we are deeply sorry to bring you the news that the world-famous physicist Stephen passed away three minutes ago. A brilliant star in the history of human civilization has fallen."Gu Jiuci stared at the television and her face immediately paled. Her fingers shook so hard that she couldn't hold her chopsticks steady. If not for this news reminde
"Ci? Why are you back?"Gu Qingyuan pushed open the door and entered. Behind him was Su Furong and Xu Yun'er.Gu Jiuci turned and swept her eyes over the three of them. It looked as if they had come back together again."I...""Ci, your cousin has already told me what happened at the meeting today. What are we going to do about your competitive personality? If not for your cousin smoothing things over for you... who knows how many people you would have offended already?"Before Gu Jiuci could finish speaking, Old Gu began speaking his thoughts and interrupted her."As I said, it's best if Yun'er is with Ci, this way they can look after each other."Su Furong immediately took advantage of the situation and didn't give Gu Jiuci any chance to cut in."Looks like the mother and daughter have successfully enchanted Old Gu even more!"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes slightly and gave a thoughtful at Su Furong and Xu Yun'er."In the past, I didn't consider things thoroughly enough. Now t
"Ci, how can you be so immature? Hurry up and let your brother leave!"Even Old Gu was staring unhappily at Gu Jiuci."I..."Gu Jiuci unobtrusively dodged Su Furong's hand. With no other choice, she said, "I just wanted to get a ride with brother to go back to the Phoenix Lodge. Brother, isn't it on the way to the company?"Since she couldn't stop her brother leaving, then she would take a step back and go with him.Her brother was just about to speak when Su Furong immediately cut across him."Look at the time. Isn't Huo Mingche on a business trip? Sleep at home tonight.""Aunt, why do you know Brother Che's schedule better than I do? What if he comes home tonight and gets angry because I'm not there?"Or are you very sure that he won't be back tonight?"Gu Jiuci narrowed her eyes and stared meaningfully at Su Furong.Panic flashed through Su Furong's eyes. "Damn! When did this girl become so clever?""That's right, how do you know about Huo Mingche's schedule?"Old Gu als
As the car drew nearer to the bridge, Gu Jiuci became more and more anxious. "What can I do to make brother stop?""Ci, you seem to have something on your mind. Why do you look so uncomfortable?"Gu Qian tilted his head to evaluate his sister. From when they were home earlier, he could see that there was something wrong with his sister."Brother, you're the CEO of the corporation. What matter could make you, the CEO, go to the company at this time?"Gu Jiuci was so nervous she didn't know what to say and could only scramble for a random topic."It's like this. We have a government project and we are putting in bids with other companies. Now the economic plan for the project has reached a crucial moment and we need to discuss it together.""Can't they send the economic plan to you? Why do you need to go to the company personally?"Gu Jiuci spoke in an irritated tone. "Isn't this excuse too flimsy?" To her, it reeked of conspiracy."I don't have anything else to do right now anyw
