Chapter 198: 198 I refuse to give an interview Chapter 198: 198 I refuse to give an interview Shi Lan was embroiled in a scandal, which gave Gu Chengyu a great opportunity to catch his breath. He just needed to keep apologizing, and then the public would shift all their resentment onto Shi Lan, after all, this is still a world full of malice toward women.
After lunch, Gu’s mother called Gu Chengyu, saying the team had lined up an interview for him. In reality, it was just to make Gu Chengyu go along with the trap Qin Vice President and Gu’s mother had set for Shi Lan, enabling his career to quickly recover. But, he couldn’t go through with it, knowing it was all lies, a sham from start to finish.
At noon, he had wanted to explain things to Shi Lan, but instead, Shi Lan had decisively slapped him.
“Son, the team has prepared a script for you. Memorize it well. From tonight onwards, everything can be reversed.”
Gu Chengyu was silent for a few seconds, and reluctantly retorted, “Mom, do you not care about my opinion at all when you do these things? I do resent An Lan, I hate An Lan, but I don’t want to drive An Lan to death a second time, she is innocent!”
“That little bitch is not going to die. Do you think she’s made of paper? Moreover, she tore up your fan club on her birthday. Where is she innocent? She is the reason you ended up .”
“I refuse to do the interview.” Gu Chengyu couldn’t be so ruthless, no matter what.
“Fine, if you don’t take the interview, then I will. If you stand by that little bitch’s side, it will prove you, your mom, and your brother Qin lied. We will suffer the consequences, you know what they will be. Consider it well.” After speaking, Gu’s mother hung up.
Gu Chengyu put down his phone, took a deep breath.
Reaching this point today, he had increasingly become miserable. But if he stood by An Lan, then his mother and…
At that moment, Gu Chengyu found himself completely caught in a dilemma.
The atmosphere on the set in the afternoon was still very eerie.
Chen Beini didn’t know how to comfort Shi Lan, while Gu Chengyu demonstrated a guilty demeanour from beginning to end.
Everyone on the crew seemed anxious for Shi Lan, while Big Boss Shi alone remained cool and calm, acting as if the person being furiously dissed online wasn’t her at all.
Sun Ling’s afternoon was like a roller coaster ride. Although her rationality reminded her to trust the boss, emotionally, she feared the boss might be at a disadvantage.
After three o’clock, Yan Shixiu, dressed in a business suit and looking every bit the elegant scoundrel, reappeared in Jianghu, bringing a cold and distant air to the “Smoke” set, and his assistant carried the boss’s favorite pastries.
Shi Lan was filming, and from afar, she caught a glimpse of the extraordinary figure. When she moved out of the frame, she saw Director Tang walking towards Yan Shixiu.
Sun Ling came over carrying a towel and fan, asking Shi Lan, “Boss, do you want to go over?”
“No need to go over.” After all, having seen just a glance, it was time to avoid suspicion. If she went over, it could give a bad impression and also affect Yan Dog’s reputation. At this point, it wasn’t necessary to stick around openly, that would be too slutty.
“But… President Yan specifically came to see you.”
Shi Lan looked up, locking eyes with President Yan, then she saw Yan Shixiu gesture towards the pastries on the table with his chin before turning away.
Sun Ling saw the exchange of glances between them and immediately felt bitter, “Boss, you’re actually restraining yourself for President Yan? Am I seeing things?”
Shi Lan was taken aback, suddenly realizing the fact, but still retorted, “Don’t be so dramatic, anyone would think I was about to die for him.”
