Chapter 57: This Lass is so Likable

Very soon after, the first promotional event was launched.

Gu Jingyu attended the event together with Lin Che. At the event, Lin Che saw from afar that Lin Li had come along as well. She walked towards them in large strides. A row of assistants and staff followed behind her, giving her an imposing aura.

Lin Che currently sat in the shared dressing room. When she momentarily saw Lin Li, she could not help but ask, “She’s not doing her make-up? Why did she leave?”

The make-up artist looked at Lin Li who had walked past, and smiled. She said, “She’s going to the private dressing room. She has a specialized personal make-up artist to do her make-up. Why would she need us?”

“Oh...” Lin Che finally understood. She was a celebrity; of course, she was different from them, the new and unknown artists.

Behind her, the other unknown actors with her said in a dissatisfied tone, “She’s not that famous either. But why are her treatment and imposing aura comparable to Mu Feiran’s?”

The make-up artist contoured Lin Che’s face while saying, “After all, Lin Li is different. Her family background is obvious and she’s also the Qin family’s future Young Madam. She doesn’t lack money, so of course, she has an impressive air about her.”

Lin Che thought that it was very funny. She and Lin Li were undoubtedly both members of the Lin family, but everyone did not know.

The Lin family had continuously avoided divulging Lin Che’s status as an illegitimate daughter. Lin Che was also really dispensable in the Lin family and was even a detested character. Thus, she too could understand why everyone did not know her family background.

Luckily, Lin Che did not care at all either.

It was to the point where it would be even more torturous to her if she and Lin Li were to participate in promotions with the label of sisters tacked on them.

Lin Che felt at ease as she did her make-up and simultaneously surfed on her Weibo account.

The first batch of promotional pictures for the television series had already been released. Everyone’s character posters had been beautifully taken and uploaded on various news portals and Weibo pages for advertisement.

Lin Che saw the comments below. Some people were indeed unbiased; they looked at Lin Che’s character poster and felt that she was very beautiful. But there were people who were bound to be malicious; they wrote directly at the bottom, “She looks horribly ugly.” Or they said things like, “She doesn’t fit the character’s image at all,” “That nose is obviously fake,” “At which hospital did she extend her eye corners? Why does it look exactly the same as that person? It’s probably from the same doctor.”

Seeing these comments, Lin Che’s blood began to boil. With her phone in her hand, she said gloomily, “How can they say that I had plastic surgery? I’m obviously all-natural.”

She raised her head to ask the make-up artist, “Do I look like I had plastic surgery? Yours truly does want to get plastic surgery, but first I need to have money too. Yours truly received a role for the first time. How can I have money to get surgery?”

The make-up artist burst out laughing immediately, thinking that this Lin Che was really amusing.

Yu Minmin sat at the side eating something and waiting for her to do her make-up. “Alright, which rookie debuts without first being scolded. Furthermore, plastic surgery is so easy to get nowadays. But I really can’t see people thinking that nose of yours is fake. It’s so flat that if you really spent money to do surgery on it, then the hospital’s expertise was a little too poor.”

Lin Che turned her head and whined, “It’s not that flat either... ”

Yu Minmin could not be bothered with her and said to the make-up artist, “Contour her nose a little more. It’s too flat. It’s so ugly.”

Just when everyone was having a good time, Gu Jingyu was too drawn to the dressing room by the joyful laughter here.

“What’s happening here?” Gu Jingyu asked someone.

“It’s Lin Che.” The manager replied and said, “She chatters everywhere she goes. She’s really good at it too; she can build good relations with anyone. She’s simple-minded, but her personality is really not bad. It’s easy for everyone to like chatting with her and she doesn’t act arrogant at all either.”

Gu Jingyu smiled and looked towards her direction. He glanced at Lin Che meaningfully before also walking over in a few steps.

“Hey, what’re you so happy chatting about?” Gu Jingyu said.

A few make-up artists and small actors all spaced out slightly when Gu Jingyu came. However, they saw that Gu Jingyu seemed to be in a good mood. He sat down directly and they also consequently became more at ease.

Gu Jingyu looked at Lin Che. “I heard you laughing from so far away. Your voice is really loud.”

After gradually getting familiar with Gu Jingyu, Lin Che really did not feel that he was as difficult to get along with as everyone said. Instead, he wasn’t very pretentious, so she began to become more casual when chatting with him as well. “You don’t like the noise? If you dislike it, then go to the private dressing room over there. Why would such a famous person run over here to gather together with us?”

“Hey, how can you not even welcome me? Didn’t you see everyone else ushering me in with drums and gongs.”

The remaining people all looked at the two of them chatting together like this and could not help but be slightly stunned.

Who said that Gu Jingyu did not like chatting with the other actors in the cast? Obviously, he was quite amiable.

But even the people who knew this were indeed surprised. They knew that Gu Jingyu’s relationship with Lin Che was really not bad. Otherwise, they would not have this much fun chatting.

The moment Lin Li came out, she saw the two of them in the middle, surrounded by others. She did not know what they were chatting about that made the entire shared dressing room appear to be in an extremely merry mood, filled with joyful laughter and cheerful chatter.

Lin Li snorted disdainfully. “This Lin Che is so flirtatious.”

Beside her, a small assistant said, “Not everyone has a natural advantage like Sister Lin Li. She doesn’t have money or power, or even a strong family background, much less a wealthy and handsome fiancé like Third Young Master. Of course, she can only depend on her ability to seduce men in order to climb up the social ladder.”

Hearing the assistant say this, Lin Li felt much more refreshed.

“Precisely. I can’t even be bothered to build good relations with these strange people.” Were they even worthy of her?

But seeing Gu Jingyu have such a good relationship with her, Lin Li did indeed feel unbearably jealous.

Very soon, they were starting to make arrangements for the interview at the front.

But unexpectedly, when Gu Jingyu went for his interview, he pulled Lin Che along with him too.

Lin Che was initially a little reluctant, but the reporters were also extremely happy and immediately coaxed the two of them to accept the interview together.

Lin Che stood beside Gu Jingyu. Looking at the numerous reporters surrounding them with microphones lined up in a row, one after another in front of her, she felt immensely complex.

During the few months preceding this, she had never thought that she would one day stand in the limelight and be interviewed.

But in the mere span of a few months, her world had already undergone an earth-shattering change.

However, the reporters below were aggressive. One of them looked at Lin Che and came up immediately to ask, “Lin Che, how do you feel about being put together as a couple with Gu Jingyu in the past?”

Lin Che did not expect the reporter to be so straightforward. In that moment, she was unable to respond.

However, beside her, Gu Jingyu instantly snatched the microphone and said, “She definitely feels that it was great. After all, it’s really an honor to be involved in rumors with a handsome guy like me.”

Lin Che raised her head gratefully. Gu Jingyu flashed a comforting smile at her as if he was saying that she could rely on him for everything.

The reporter said, “Lin Che, did you two meet privately again?”

Gu Jingyu snatched the microphone again and said, “How can we meet? Thanks to all of you, we can’t even meet at friendly gatherings. I made a friend after such great difficulty. You guys should stop adding to my troubles.”

In an instant, everyone started roaring with laughter upon being chided by Gu Jingyu.

Lin Che truly felt that Gu Jingyu was doing a very good job. Each time the reporters said something, he was always able to change the subject. He made the interview interesting and at the same time, he did not answer too many of the gossipy questions that he did not want to answer as well.
