Li Yanran opened her mouth but was too afraid to say anything, so she bit her lip in the end and looked at Gu Xi hatefully before running out. “Tsk~” Gu Xi rubbed her chin while looking at Xing Beiyan. “Darling, you really don’t have tender feelings for women.” Although she was making fun of him, her eyes were indifferent. Xing Beiyan somehow felt that she had changed. It was not just her attitude toward him, but her character and something in her bones as well. Gu Xi was pure and naive at times as if she paid no attention to worldly affairs, but could also be unemotional as though she had seen through everything. She was able to deal with provocations with ease now and could disguise her unhappiness very well, without being noticed at all. It seemed like Gu Xi no longer needed Xing Beiyan’s help as she had become well-behaved and sensible, and no longer took extreme measures, as she did in the past, just to leave him. ‘She really changed a lot. ‘When did it begin?’ Xin
The other colleagues were shocked, so they quickly surrounded Li Yanran to comfort her. “Don’t cry, I’ll take a look later to see who that shameless lady is!” “Yes, yes, we’ll teach her a lesson when she comes,” they assured as they were indignant at the injustice. “No, there’s no need to, it’s okay, I must leave anyway. Besides, that lady’s very skilled, and Mr. CEO trusts her a lot. If you say something unpleasant and Mr. CEO finds out, he might think that you’re bullying her. I ended up like this because of that, so I don’t want you to repeat the same mistake,” Li Yanran replied helplessly while shaking her head. After hearing what she said, the others finally understood, and the back of their heads broke out in a cold sweat. ‘Li Yanran is right, we can’t offend that lady because of a sudden impulse. Who knows what her true identity is?’ ‘Li Yanran has been serving the CEO for many years, yet was kicked out because of a few words she said. What are we compared to her?’
“It’s working hours, aren’t you going to work? I’ll be leaving first.” Gu Xi wanted to arrive at the company earlier since it was her first day, but she did not expect it to be such an unhappy day. Seeing that it was quite late, she had to leave to prepare lunch. She had a sickly husband who had gastric, after all. Gu Xi shook her head and sighed, causing Xing Beiyan to look at her strangely. ‘Why is she giving me a look of pity?’ He wondered. Gu Xi recalled something after taking just two steps away. She suddenly turned to fix her gaze on the steaming cup of coffee beside Xing Beiyan, then walked over to ask sternly, “Didn’t I ask you not to drink this anymore?” Xing Beiyan quickly shifted the blame when he saw that she was mad. “It was my secretary who prepared it, I wasn’t aware.” Gu Xi scoffed and mumbled as she turned to walk away, “She’s such a hateful lady.” How was she not hateful? Gu Xi had gone through a lot of trouble to get her husband to drink tea instead t
“I can tell by looking at that lady that she’s not a good person, she even drove a Ferrari to work, as if she’s worried that people can’t tell that she’s rich. Tsk, what’s so amazing about that? She’s just taking advantage of her beauty.” “Exactly, exactly. Once the CEO gets tired of her, she’ll probably be too embarrassed to go out!” Li Yanran, who was watching amongst the crowd, curled her lips proudly. ‘Just you wait. Since you made things difficult for me, I won’t let you have it any better!’ On the other hand, Gu Xi was not thinking much and was enjoying her lunch happily with Xing Beiyan when she received a phone call all of a sudden. The atmosphere in the office became strange right away. Xing Beiyan frowned upon seeing Gu Xi’s odd expression as he did not know what happened. “What’s wrong?” He asked while removing a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth. “Darling, I might need to head out in the afternoon,” Gu Xi answered hesitantly. “Hmm? Go if you want to
When Gu Xi turned to look at Gu Xue’er, who was surprised and furious, she frowned. ‘Why is Gu Xue’er here?’ After looking at the people behind Gu Xue’er, Gu Xi came to a sudden realization. ‘They’re shooting their drama here too?’ It was quite a coincidence, but Gu Xi felt nothing even though they bumped into each other, especially toward Gu Xue’er. “Yes?” She replied lazily. “What are you doing here!” Gu Xue’er looked at her while gritting her teeth. “What can I do? I’m here to play.” Gu Xi was still not bothered, causing Gu Xue’er to fume with anger. “Play!” Gu Xue’er yelled, which was obvious that she could not hold back her emotions anymore. “Xue’er.” She only regained her senses when Han Lei reminded her, and her face changed when she realized that everyone was looking at her strangely. She lost control just now! Although Gu Xue’er’s hatred for Gu Xi was already at its peak, she managed to calm herself down. Upon recalling something, she suddenly looked at H
“Ah! You old fella! I’m asking you to introduce her to me for a drama! What were you thinking?! Can’t you see that she’s born to be an actress? If she becomes my drama’s female lead, I guarantee that she’ll be famous!” “That’s true, she’s probably from the studio that F.K’s from, I’ll help you ask later,” Director Wang replied after deliberating as he felt that Gu Xi was indeed charming. Gu Xue’er, who was standing near them, turned green with anger upon hearing their conversation! ‘It’s Gu Xi’s again, it’s her again! Why is she better than me in everything! ‘Dad and I went through a lot of trouble and paid so much money to secure this role, but it might be slipping out of my hands now because of Gu Xi. ‘I’m not willing to accept this, I’m not willing to! ‘I won’t allow that to happen no matter what.’ Gu Xue’er clenched her fists and looked at Gu Xi hatefully. On the other hand, after the directors were done with their catch-up, Director Wang hurried over to wave and sm
‘She’s so young, yet someone called her a chief!’ Director Wang said to himself. “That’s not it.” The employee shook his head. Director Wang figured that he heard it wrong after hearing the reply. ‘I knew it. ‘Judging from her age, she’s at most a university student.’ However, what the employee said next almost caused Director Wang to jump! “She’s our company’s big boss! We’re able to rise so quickly because she took over the company,” the employee mentioned proudly. “Wh-what?” Director Wang was in a daze. * “Hey, did you get it done? Did you?” Seeing as the people around Director Wang left, Director Li took the opportunity to run over and asked excitedly. “Uh…” Director Wang shook his head embarrassedly. “What is it? You didn’t get it done? Did you poach her for yourself instead?” Director Li suddenly widened his eyes angrily. “Hey, hey, hey, you can’t sabotage me like this!” Director Wang rolled his eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about! She said that she’s n
“Gu Xi!” Gu Xue’er was not pretending this time, it was obvious that she wanted to have a showdown with Gu Xi. “What is it this time?” Gu Xi was impatient. “Hmph! I’m telling you, don’t be so proud just because you snatched the Gu Family Group away and helped an outsider confront us. Do you know that you’ll be hit by bad karma for doing that?” Gu Xue’er mentioned angrily. “I don’t know if I’ll be hit by bad karma, but I wonder if someone else will.” Gu Xi scoffed. “Oh right, Elder Sister Xue’er, you’re not doing a good job as the female lead. Your director’s planning to replace you with me, tell me… Should I accept the offer?” She smiled faintly at Gu Xue’er. “You! Don’t be so full of yourself, that’s impossible. We signed a contract, and I’m officially recognized as the female lead, do you think that the director can swap me out just because he wants to?” Gu Xue’er mocked. “Do you want to be the female lead? In your dreams!” Gu Xi played with her nails as she replied cas
