Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!

Jiang Ning was conflicted, wondering whether she should tell Gu Yuan about this.

If he knew, how would he look at her?

After some inner struggle, Jiang Ning decided not to tell Gu Yuan. She couldn't predict the consequences, so she chose to keep silent.

Who knew that Gu Yuan would suddenly speak at this moment.

"No matter what you are, I love you."

The voice was low and close to Jiang Ning's ear, so only Jiang Ning could hear it.

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat. She asked him, "Do you know something?"

"Huh? What do you know?"

"Nothing, there are some things you're better off not knowing."

Gu Yuan let her go, looked directly into Jiang Ning's eyes, and said:

"If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask."

Jiang Ning rubbed his eyes and stopped thinking about the uncomfortable question.

When he put the things in his mind aside, he felt relaxed. Jiang Ning felt that even his efficiency in memorizing lines had increased a lot. He just read for a long time but still had no idea what the rest of the script was talking about.

"Are you free now? Can you come out for a while? I'm just downstairs from your hotel."

Li Yiming suddenly sent a message to Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning was startled. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I'm free."

Jiang Ning walked out of the bedroom quietly. Gu Yuan was sitting on the sofa flipping through the company's financial statements. When he saw her come out, he asked her, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ning explained: "The director may come in a while."

Gu Yuan was puzzled and paused what he was doing.

"Director? What is he doing here at this hour?"

Jiang Ning glanced at the wall clock. The hands pointed to two o'clock, but it was already early morning.

"I don't know what he wanted to do suddenly. I thought you were here too, so I let him up."

Jiang Ning went to open the door as she spoke. She walked to the entrance and found a new pair of slippers. As soon as she bent down, she heard the director knock on the door.

Gu Yuan followed Jiang Ning worriedly.

Jiang Ning opened the door, and after the two looked at each other, Li Yiming spoke first.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Ning, I didn't know your boyfriend was here too. I'd better not disturb you."

Just as he was about to leave, Gu Yuan stopped him.

"Since you are here, just talk about it. I won't hinder your normal work."

"Hey, good."

Li Yiming changed his shoes and came in, sitting on the sofa, his hands looking a little awkward.

Jiang Ning saw through it and took the initiative to ask, "Is there something you are not comfortable talking about? How about I ask Gu Yuan to step aside for a while?"

"May I?"

Li Yiming asked tentatively.

"Okay, I'll be in the bedroom and won't disturb you."

Gu Yuan returned to the suite, still seeming worried. Before closing the door, he glanced at Li Yiming with a sharp, warning look, as if to say: You'd better not do anything tricky, otherwise I have ten thousand ways to deal with you.

Seeing him leave, Li Yiming's tense nerves relaxed a little. He took out his mobile phone and showed Jiang Ning a group of photos, which were personal photos of Li Yihua when he debuted.

Although the woman in the photo had plastic surgery, her temperament and bone structure remained unchanged. Jiang Ning could barely recognize that she was her college classmate, Li Xi.

"What made you think of showing me this?"

"I wanted to ask if you knew this person."

"Of course, she is a celebrity in our school, a campus beauty. Li Xi, is she going to debut?"

Jiang Ning answered calmly. She couldn't imagine what kind of trouble this school belle could cause. All she remembered was that after she signed with the agency, she never came to school to attend classes again, and the school belle was replaced.

"That's not the case. If I told you that this person is my sister who I lost for many years, would you believe it?"

Li Yiming looked into Jiang Ning's eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Ning shook his head, expressing his incomprehension of Li Yiming's behavior.

"I don't know. What happened between you has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing to do, you should leave immediately. Why did you come to me in the middle of the night just to ask this?"

"No, the point is that this person has come to my house, and she said she is Li Yihua, and she even has a paternity test report, but I just don't think she is."

Li Yiming was a little anxious and his speech speed unconsciously increased.

"Oh, what then?"

Jiang Ning did not answer him directly, but continued to look at the script in his hand.

"Why don't you understand me?"

Li Yiming was extremely anxious and almost wanted to stand up from the sofa, but his action made Jiang Ning even more incomprehensible, so she issued the final order to expel him.

"What do I understand about you? You ran to someone else's hotel in the middle of the night. I'm lucky I didn't kick you out. If you want to stay, you can tell the front desk. There seem to be a lot of vacancies here. Don't we have to shoot tomorrow? You are the director and I am the actor. Let's hurry up and make our own preparations."

Jiang Ning sent a message to Gu Yuan, asking him to come out and see the guests off.

"Since we can't continue the conversation, I don't think there's any need to force it."

Gu Yuan said this in a cold voice without any unnecessary embellishment, simply telling him to go.

Li Yiming sighed deeply and left angrily without even changing his shoes.

"What did you talk about just now that made you so unhappy?"

After seeing Li Yiming off, Gu Yuan turned around and asked Jiang Ning with concern.

"Nothing, it's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed."

Jiang Ning threw the script on the table, stretched his arms, and fell directly onto the big bed in the hotel. He fell asleep after a while.

Gu Yuan carefully helped her turn over, covered her with the quilt, and tiptoed out for fear of waking her up.

He took a short rest in another guest room, but soon came to mind again. He looked at the message from his mother on his mobile phone, not knowing how to respond.

"Son, let me tell you, this little celebrity you found is quite unreliable. Have you forgotten what business our family was in before? Why did we stop doing it later? Aren't these all lessons from the past?"

"Mom will introduce you to a few people who are equally matched with her. Look at their conditions, family background, and educational background. Which one of them is not better than her? Why do you insist on hanging yourself on this tree?"

"..."

And so on and so forth, there are many more like this. No matter how Gu Yuan explains, he just doesn't like Jiang Ning. The reasons are nothing more than those: he thinks her background can't help their family.

It is now late at night, and the message bombardment from my mother continues.

"Why do you have to force me?"

Gu Yuan could no longer bear it and uttered the final harsh words, but this trick was of no use to his mother.

He simply turned off his cell phone and stopped paying attention to his mother's nagging. The world indeed became a lot quieter.

But you can escape for a while, not forever. Gu Yuan will have to face it sooner or later, so he must find a suitable breakthrough as soon as possible and can't keep wasting time like this.
