By this time, the elevator doors were already fully shut, shielding Gu Jiuci from Du Hao's abuse.She also was not aware that a girl had walked out of the emergency exit the instant the elevator doors had closed, who cast a sinister gaze at the elevator.Very shortly after, she took out her phone and dialed a number."Yun'er? It's Jiang Min.""What's the matter, Jiang Min?"Xu Yun'er, who was on the other end of the line, was a little surprised. Even though she usually paid great attention to maintaining her relationships with her acquaintances from the upper class, the relationship between her and Jiang Min was not especially close. As such, Xu Yun'er was still a little surprised to receive a call from her."Humph! So, you're still in the dark, I see!"Jiang Min laughed coldly before spilling the beans about everything involving Gu Jiuci's interview today to Xu Yun'er.On the other end, Xu Yun'er's expression turned extremely gloomy and she nearly crushed the phone in her hand
Gu Jiuci arrived at the lobby on the first floor and walked up to the entrance of the building. Just then, she saw that her second eldest brother was surrounded closely by a group of talent scouts."I already told you guys at least 800 times that I don't want to be a celebrity. Even if I did, I wouldn't look for lousy management companies like you. Get lost!"Gu Qijue raised his hand impatiently to wave away the small-time talent scouts, who were continuously trying to pass him their name cards. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw his younger sister, Gu Jiuci, walking toward him.He immediately broke out into a bright smile, revealing two tiny canine teeth. He had a sunny disposition and was handsome, just like those youthful male leads in the comics and idol dramas who were full of life.However, this particular youth's smile was not directed toward any other female lead or girlfriend. Instead, it was reserved for his biological sister.Gu Jiuci's mood changed much fo
"Rise up!"The beautiful Harley shot through the city streets like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind a trail of unbridled rumbling from its exhaust. Gu Jiuci's hair flew along with the wind, and she felt very good."I bet that person should already be in trouble at this time!"As it was the weekend, nobody was back when both of them returned home.It was rare to have a moment of peace, and Gu Jiuci felt relieved instead of feeling unwelcomed. Aunt Fu appeared, carrying a glass of milk cheerfully along with her."You're back, Ci! Have you eaten breakfast? It's still rather early for lunch... Would you like to have a glass of milk to fill your stomach first?""Thank you, Aunt Fu. But I'm still feeling really full after breakfast... I'll save the milk for later in the evening."Gu Jiuci acted coquettishly as she held onto Aunt Fu's arm warmly.Aunt Fu, who was originally looking downcast after hearing the negative reply, immediately smiled again."Sure. I'll put it in the fridg
"Ah... Right!"Gu Jiuci purposely dragged out her voice longer than usual, pretending to be thinking about something. She hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper from her desk and passed it to Xu Yun'er before continuing in a fake-regretful voice."I only found out that they were auditioning for the role of the fourth or fifth female supporting actress when I went there today. At that time, I wanted to register you, but the staff told me that registrations for both roles had already ended, and individuals without a management company to represent them would be unable to submit any last-minute applications. They wouldn't let me help you, no matter what...""Oh? What are we going to do then?"Xu Yun'er's face had turned white. She had clearly heard from Jiang Min earlier today that the role of the fourth female supporting actress had not been given to anyone yet!Gu Jiuci curled her lips derisively, but quickly straightened them again."I pleaded with the writer for such a long time,
Xu Yun'er felt somewhat displeased at having been cast aside. She glared angrily at the washroom before turning around to leave the room.Gu Jiuci used a pin to casually tie her hair up and headed downstairs.Old Gu was already in the dining room with his two sons. Judging from the expressions on their faces, everyone seemed pretty fine.Of course, Su Furong and her daughter were also there to make their presence known."Come over quickly to have your dinner, Ci."Su Furong addressed her niece with feigned intimacy. After that fateful breakfast, she no longer dared to insinuate anything bad about Gu Jiuci again."All right."Gu Jiuci controlled her eyebrows from arcing and controlled her emotions as she walked over to her second eldest brother and sat down beside him.It seemed that Xu Yun'er had exchanged intel with her mother. Su Furong knew that she would be courting her own death if she spoke ill about Gu Jiuci now."Go get my 1980 Château Lafite-Rothschild out, Aunt Fu. T
"Cousin, I don't have any kind of alcohol addiction. At the time, you told me that Jiang Yutang liked cool girls and that I would have to learn how to drink."You poured my first glass of wine, don't you remember?"Gu Jiuci gazed at Xu Yun'er with a naive expression. Her eyes fluttered innocently and she appeared pure and unsullied."It was nothing more than pretending. Who couldn't do that?"As expected, once she said this, the atmosphere at the table grew even colder. However, all the sharp glares were now aimed at Xu Yun'er!"Xu Yun'er! So it was you who encouraged my sister to pursue Jiang Yutang! And you taught her how to drink! What are you planning to do?""No, it wasn't me! Ci, you can't lie like this!"Xu Yun'er immediately panicked and even her lips went white. She couldn't have imagined that Gu Jiuci would suddenly come out with something like this.Su Furong's expression also changed. Immediately, she unhappily scolded Gu Jiuci."Ci! Your cousin looks out for you i
"Brother-in-law! How could you say something like that? Even Ci herself said that this was only a prank between sisters."Think of how Yun'er usually advises Ci, have you forgotten?"In just these few moments, the mother and daughter had tears streaming down their faces. Anyone who saw them would feel pity."Ci is my niece. My sister died young, so I've treated her as my own daughter."What good does it do me to mislead Ci?"If I truly wanted to bring down the Gu Family, why haven't I corrupted Gu Qian or Xiao Qi?"Su Furong's expression seemed to say that she would dig out her heart for Gu Qingyuan. Xu Yun'er was even more extreme, she stood and kneeled down in front of Gu Qingyuan with a thud."Uncle, I can't admit to something I haven't done. I have a clear conscience. You can't dishonor my character!"As matters had escalated to such an extent without actual evidence, even Old Gu was at a loss for what to do.A cold smile pulled up a corner of Gu Jiuci's lips. "As expected
Hearing Old Gu's agreement, Su Furong and Xu Yun'er met each other's eyes, and a pleased expression appeared on both their faces.As long as they were tied to Gu Jiuci, there was no fear that they would have no resources when stepping into the entertainment industry in the future.Xu Yun'er's mood immediately improved. She even stretched out her hand to take Gu Jiuci's hand with a happy expression."Ci, in the future, we will look after each other. I'm sure we can make a breakthrough and earn honor for the Gu Family!""Yes, Yun'er, as the older sister, you have to look after Ci."Su Furong immediately followed up. The mother and daughter co-operated flawlessly.Gu Jiuci furrowed her brows slightly. She pretended to stretch out her hand to grab the milk and threw off Xu Yun'er's hand."These two-faced women... They really think of themselves as part of the Gu Family.""I wasn't planning on asking the family for help."Gu Jiuci spoke measuredly. As expected, the expressions of m
