Because the shooting paused, Ling Tianya took the phone from Gu Zhiqian and started reading.
“What do you think?” Gu Zhiqian looked proud of himself. “Do you think Ruan Zeyan will be mad after he sees this post?”
“Yes.”
Ling Tianya could remember how much of a jealous king Ruan Zeyan could be.
“Are you going to be punished?” Gu Zhiqian smiled slyly. “This is for you ignoring me!”
Adjusting his posture in the seat, Gu Zhiqian’s eyes were filled with flirtation. “Little Yaya, are you seriously not considering me? I am gentler than Ruan Zeyan and would never be mad over such small things.”
Ling Tianya smiled mockingly as she returned the phone to Gu Zhiqian. “I think the person who will be punished is you.”
Before she even finished the sentence, Gu Zhiqian’s agent was already running over looking mortified.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Zhiqian asked.
“A call from President Gu, hurry and pick it up…”
“My father?” Gu Zhiqian looked shocked. The relationship between him and his father had never been good, and Gu Zhiqian had blocked his father’s number on his cell phone. Every time the old man wanted to reach Gu Zhiqian, he had to go through his agent.
“Tell him that I’m busy,” Gu Zhiqian said lazily.
“You have to answer this time, otherwise the consequences will be serious.”
Judging from his agent’s terrified look, Gu Zhiqian recognized the gravity of the matter at hand. He picked up the phone unwillingly. “Hello…”
Gu Zhiqian’s face changed dramatically as he listened to the phone call. Ling Tianya couldn’t hear what was being said, but she could hear the roar coming from the elder Mr. Gu.
After the call was hung up, Gu Zhiqian smashed the cell phone on the floor. “Ruan Zeyan! You merciless man!”
Then Gu Zhiqian picked up his phone, opened Weibo, and deleted the thought-provoking post he had made.
Afterward, he dialed Ruan Zeyan. The phone rang several times, and only when Gu Zhiqian was about to give up, it was connected.
“What’s up?” Ruan Zeyan’s cool voice came out.
“I deleted that post! I deleted it!” Gu Zhiqian yelled.
“Very well.”
“That’s it?” Gu Zhiqian was livid. “Those two pieces of land and the government project can be returned to the Gu’s?”
“No.”
“I already delete it. Why are you…” Gu Zhiqian sounded helpless. Although he mainly worked in the entertainment business, he was still one of the inheritors of the Gu Family fortune. He had a direct relationship to the prosperity of the Gu Family business. In a split second, Ruan Zeyan had bought the two pieces of land that the Gu Family had had its eye on, as well as a government project that the Gu Family had been preparing for a long time.
He roughly estimated that the Gu Family had just lost close to ten billion dollars. No wonder the elder Mr. Gu was roaring at him.
“Zhiqian, you are an adult. You have to pay for your mistakes.”
Ruan Zeyan’s voice was even and cool, but Gu Zhiqian was having a hard time keeping his cool. “I was just making a joke. It was not like I was really going to do anything to little Yaya!”
“This is the price of a joke.” In other words, the price would be much more if it was not a joke.
Ruan Zeyan’s words shut Gu Zhiqian right up.
“Focus on your acting. I’ll take you out for dinner later.” Ruan Zeyan said it so casually as if nothing had happened. Or one could say that in Ruan Zeyan’s mind, he was merely disciplining a misbehaving child and it was not a big deal.
“Dinner my *ss!” Gu Zhiqian hung up the phone, defeated. A joke of his cost the Gu Family billions.
“I told you, the person who was going to be punished was you.” Ling Tianya looked unphased. She picked up another nutritious dessert from the table that had not been touched by Gu Zhiqian and happily ate it.
Gu Zhiqian wished he was dead…
