Although Cao Yuezhi’s diehard fans were still jumping around, there were now fewer controversies about Gu Manxi on the internet. Gu Manxi even had her own fan club.
The fans in the fan club were of all ages. There were teenagers, college students in their early 20s, old aunts in their 40s, and grandfathers in their 60s.
Many young netizens posted comments:
Comment 1: [ My mother, 40 yrs-old, asked me how to post on Weibo yesterday and how to join the fan club. She said she wanted to slam those idiots who dissed Gu Manxi to death… ]
Comment 2: [ My grandmother’s Tiktok has been filled with photos of Gu Manxi in her cheongsam dress in addition to her dances and healthy recipes. My grandmother is also wearing a cheongsam now… My grandmother said that her movie was very good and acted out the charm of Old Shanghai women in the last century. ]
Comment 3: [ I like Cao Yuezhi, my father likes Gu Manxi. My father and I quarrel every day… ]
Comment 4: [ Yesterday, I watched In the Prime of Time with my five-year-old brother. God damn, this kid said that the older sister in the movie is so beautiful that he wants to marry her in the future. I immediately gave him a slap. Get lost, that is my wife. Do you think I did the right thing? ]

Gu Manxi ignored the public opinions on the Internet. She was busy preparing to join the filming crew. During this period of time, Jiang Cheng had given her a lot of help. Gu Manxi was very grateful.
Lu Shanhe was a little jealous.
In private, Lu Shanhe dragged Jiang Cheng to a corner. He stared at Jiang Cheng with a pair of delicate and beautiful eyebrows. Lu Shanhe said seriously, “Jiang, our relationship is quite good, right?”
Jiang Cheng leaned against the corner with one leg slightly bent. His gaze fell on Lu Shanhe’s androgynous face and he nodded. “We have a good relationship.”
Lu Shanhe sighed and said, “To be honest, I have never treated you as an outsider.”
Jiang Cheng’s pupils constricted and his adam’s apple rolled.
Lu Shanhe said, “I treat you as a brother, but you are chasing the girl I like. This needs to be discussed.”
Jiangcheng: …
Lu Shanhe said, “You know very well that when I first saw Ruoxi, I fell in love with her. She is my source of art. She is the most perfect goddess in my heart. I’ve been looking for her for five years and finally have the chance to reconnect with her now. I can understand. Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
The emotions on Jiangcheng’s handsome face were very complicated.
Lu Shanhe said seriously, “I treat you as a brother. We’ll compete fairly. No matter who Manxi chooses in the end, I’ll accept it. Even if she chooses that blind tycoon, Song Chen, I have no objections.”
Lu Shanhe liked Gu Manxi. Even if Gu Manxi did not choose him in the end, Lu Shanhe would not be discouraged.
He was willing to be Gu Manxi’s backer and guardian. He could silently protect Gu Manxi for the rest of her life.
Jiang Cheng’s face darkened.
Jiang Cheng glared at Lu Shanhe in disappointment and said heavily, “I know! I know!”
“It’s good that you know. All good. The costumes were delivered this afternoon. I’ll go check the quality first,” Lu Shanhe said. “Don’t always stick to Manxi. Give her some private space. Always pestering her won’t get you anywhere.”
Jiang Cheng flicked his sleeves and left.
Lu Shanhe was left with a sad expression. He felt that Jiangcheng was a good actor, but unfortunately, his EQ was not high enough.
Always listen to the wise words of the elderly. What’s the use of clinging to Gu Manxi all the time? She would only see you as her colleague.
Didn’t you see that Song Chen had already started his life-long plan. He started with the kid, then the babysitter, Zhao Yan, and even Lin Xiaozhou. He was really willing to do everything in his journey of getting Manxi back.
