Chapter 33: Kneel Down For Me
Beep! Beep!
Gu Ran was focused on clearing her Weibo account when the sound of a car horn attracted her attention. She looked up and saw a shiny black car in front of her.
She marvelled at how classy online booked rides had become as she pulled open the rear door of the car.
She'd felt immensely better after clearing her Weibo account. Humming a small tune, she slid into the car.
The atmosphere in the car tensed within a moment.
Gu Ran looked at the man sitting beside her in a daze. She then looked at the front passenger seat and saw a man dressed like an elite white-collar worker waving at her. Seated next to him was a middle-aged man who looked like a driver.
"Movie King? What are you doing here?"
Mo Yancheng smirked. "I should be the one asking you that."
Gu Ran scanned the car. Even if she had never taken an online-booked ride before, she could tell that this luxury car was definitely not her car.
"Sorry, I seemed to have boarded the wrong car!" With that, Gu Ran pushed open the car door and disembarked.
"Where are you going? I'll drop you off on the way."
"No need, it's not on the way." Gu Ran pushed open the car door and got out without looking back.
Coincidentally, her own ride seemed to have arrived. She only boarded it after cross-checking its license plate number with the one on her phone, after making sure that it was indeed her ride.
Inside the car.
Executive Assistant Qi frowned. "Is Miss Gu playing hard to get? We helped her, but she pretends to not know us."
To think that he had seen Gu Ran standing on the street from afar just now and deliberately asked the driver to honk for her attention. He did not expect her to not appreciate his efforts.
"She doesn't remember what happened that night." Mo Yancheng had discovered this early on when they were recording the variety show.
Gu Ran was afraid of the dark and did not sleep well. It must have been caused by the trauma at the hotel that night.
That made sense. A normal girl would have been scared to death by a similar incident. She wouldn't have had time to think about anything else. Besides, she'd been delirious when she met them, and it was understandable that she couldn't remember anything from the encounter.
"Let's go!"
As the car slowly left, Mo Yancheng looked out of the window and saw a sign at the position where Gu Ran had been standing earlier. On it were the words 'XX production team recruiting actors for audition'.
'Had she been here for an audition?'
Mo Yancheng frowned slightly.
At the Gu residence.
Gu Ran got out of the car, paid the fare, and walked towards the door.
When the servant saw Gu Ran approach, she went up to open the door for her. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated, and only said, "Miss, the Mistress is not in the best of moods today. Talk to her properly."
Gu Ran understood and acknowledged her kindness. She smiled faintly and walked in with one hand in her pocket.
In the living room, Mother sat on the sofa with a stormy expression. When she saw Gu Ran, she screeched, "You still know how to come back! Kneel down!"
Gu Ran ignored her and walked to the armchair at the side to sit down. "So, tell me! Why did you call me back!"
"What kind of attitude is this!" Mother stood up and pointed at Gu Ran's nose as she continued yelling, "How can you speak to your elders like this! Kneel down!"
Gu Ran picked out an orange from the fruit platter in front of her and peeled it lazily. "If you have something to say, say it. I'm very busy!"
"Alright! You've grown some balls, haven't you! You even dare to disobey me! It seems that I have no choice but to discipline you thoroughly today!"
With that, Mother strode over aggressively. She raised her hand, very clearly intending to strike Gu Ran across the face in a slap.
Gu Ran narrowed her eyes and suddenly grabbed her wrist before stuffing the orange into her mouth!
