At this point, not too far off, someone was overheard, “I just can’t believe it!
That woman named Gu Miaoting dared to impersonate a first-class celebrity.
She was caught by the journalists. She seriously wants to ruin my idol’s image.”
“Exactly, with her looks, she dreams of basking in a celebrity’s limelight?”
Gu Miaoting, clutching her stomach, returned only to accidentally overhear the gossip. She hauled her body back to her ward, reached out for her phone, and took a glance.
“Pop.” Her phone fell to the ground once she saw the newspaper lying next to her, plastered with embarrassing photos of her from the night before.
Just then, Lian Zhenzhen walked in from the neighboring ward. Seeing Gu Miaoting’s poor complexion and spotting the newspaper, she immediately knew that Miaoting had read the news.
She had intended to pair off Miaoting from the news, even going so far as to turning off her phone for this!
“I heard that you are planning to enter the entertainment industry, is it true?” Lian Zhenzhen asked.
Although injured, Lian Zhenzhen’s face was haggard, yet she still applied makeup late at night to maintain her appearance.
“Mom, this issue has blown up! Apparently, some people want to stop me from entering that circle, and I won’t let them! I have to break into the entering that circle, and I won’t let them! I have to break into the entertainment industry, it’s a matter of pride!” said Gu Miaoting.
Lian Zhenzhen, somewhat worried, said, “Miaoting, the entertainment industry is full of intrigue and complexity! You can have anything but you can’t enter that circle! With Gu Chuyan expelled, the Gu Family will soon be ours!
Coupled with your Grandfather’s influence, it’s enough for you to….”
“Mom!” Upon hearing Lian Zhenzhen, she frowned, “Only when I have my own influence can I get you more! Even though Gu Yan protects us, he never gave you a formal status! I have tested him, and he clearly… doesn’t want to take responsibility for you..”
Upon hearing these words, Lian Zhenzhen looked rather embarrassed.
“Mom, are you content staying by his side all these years?” Gu Miaoting asked through gritted teeth.
“Enough.” Lian Zhenzhen struggled with her feelings as she heard her daughter’s words.
Over the years, she had seemed to be by Gu Yan’s side, but there was no future between them.
“Mom, if only I could become a top-tier celebrity and make more connections with people of high-status! Only then will grandpa see us in a different light! You see, he hasn’t cared about us for years! It’s pretty clear he’s looking down on us.” Gu Miaoting said quietly.
Lian Zhenzhen, being a housewife, didn’t have much of a say. She decided to let it be.
Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Family’s Pavilion
After settling Gu Chuyan, Xiao Mohan and Han Changqing entered the study.
In the vast study, Han Changqing removed his clothes, revealing two shallow knife wounds on his body. They weren’t deep, but they were bleeding nonetheless.
“Luckily, I dodged it just in time.” Han Changqing stated.
Xiao Mohan moved closer, touching the wound, he said in a deep voice, “So it was him.”
“Sir, should we inform the Xiao Family and tell them to be vigilant?” Han Changqing donned his clothes as he asked.
Xiao Mohan sat on the couch, leaning to one side and lost in thought.
“No need! They don’t have the capacity to trouble the Xiao Family.” Xiao Mohan affirmed in a deep voice.
If they are informed too soon, it might scare the snake back into its hole!
“Keep a close eye on the Gu Family. If they try to harm Chuyan again, show them no mercy.” Xiao Mohan commanded. The second batch of people were unprofessional, probably some thugs or something similar. More importantly, their target was not him, but Gu Chuyan.
Han Changqing, upon hearing this, frowned.
“Does the master mean that the second group was after Madame?” Han
Changqing was intelligent; he understood what he was implying instantly.
“They dare to move against my people! Let’s see if they have the guts to.” A smirk formed on Xiao Mohan’s thin lips. His long fingers clutching the armrest, his entire body exuding a chilling aura..
