Chapter 221: Why is this person becoming more and more foolish? Chapter 221: Why is this person becoming more and more foolish? Gu Chengyu had been enlightened over the past two days, remaining silent and reserved on the film set.
Because the mistake he made wasn’t minor, he couldn’t be as calm about it as Chen Beini was.
Chen Beini used to be annoying, primarily due to her arrogance and lack of discipline, which evolved into her later persona of a “white lotus.” However, since she decided to be herself, the staff felt her charm to some degree when interacting with her.
She would naturally admit she’s a “white lotus,” and occasionally even scold herself as being “green tea,” adding a cute touch to her frankness.
But Gu Chengyu couldn’t move past it. Although he knew he was wrong and felt sorry for An Lan and others, he couldn’t break through his barriers, so he completely isolated himself from everyone.
Chen Beini had flaunted her rose jam at the set, then handed the jar to the assistant who rushed over after a phone call: “Remember to take it back to the hotel and store it properly; it shouldn’t spoil, right? Anyway, just put it in the fridge.”
Taking the rose jam, the assistant suddenly spoke seriously to Chen Beini, “The company decided after discussion that you and Gu Chengyu announcing your breakup now wouldn’t matter; it’s practically an open secret by now, and making it public won’t make much of a difference.”
After hearing the assistant’s words, Chen Beini turned her head to look at Gu Chengyu, who was increasingly becoming a loner.
“Let it be, let’s wait a little longer. This bastard has at least come to his senses, and isn’t making the same mistake again. We don’t need to kick him while he’s down,” Chen Beini said, “I suddenly feel like I look kind of cute doing the right thing.”
Obviously influenced by Shi Lan, why does this person get sillier?
“So should I make the call to the company? Are you sure?”
“Yes, there’s not much left of this film anyway,” Chen Beini waved her hand.
Actually, Chen Beini’s team had communicated beforehand with Gu Chengyu’s team, and mutually announcing a peaceful breakup and clearing all debts might be the best outcome. However, Gu Chengyu’s team suddenly received a message to wait until “Smoke” was finished.
Although Gu Chengyu’s team wasn’t afraid of another setback, they still felt grateful for the breathing room Chen Beini’s side could afford them.
The assistant relayed this to Gu Chengyu: “Apparently, Chen Beini’s team was dragging their feet, not agreeing to announce your breakup now, which is considered extremely decent of them.”
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu looked toward the laughing woman nearby with a complex gaze.
“Stop looking. She’s not doing this because she’s still obsessed with you or has feelings for you; it’s just that she has been spending time with An Lan and has changed. Previously she was like a vase or puppet, clearly controlled by the agency, but now she has freed her true nature and visibly become cute.”
Gu Chengyu nodded, indicating that he wasn’t overthinking it.
“You should also thank An Lan for her leniency. Look at Vice President Qin’s fate; she really did show restraint with you.”
Gu Chengyu had long known that An Lan was drifting away from him.
“I dragged Vice President Qin down with me, and I feel guilty about it.”
“That scum, forget about him. Even if you hadn’t dragged him down, his day was bound to come,” the assistant consoled Gu Chengyu. “Don’t think about anything else for now, just focus on the acting. All the resources have been snatched up by other young actors; you need to work even harder. We still have a day to rise again.”
Gu Chengyu didn’t say anything, just gave a bitter smile. Meanwhile, Chen Beini also received the news that the romantic resources had suddenly changed actors.
Although she was no longer connected to Gu Chengyu, his resources were suddenly replaced by another popular figure, and she still had to partner with him? That seemed a bit too much.
Realizing she was being protective, Chen Beini suddenly felt confused and hurriedly went to ask about her on-screen partner.
