Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

The number you dialed is currently switched off.

Xu Huanshan frowned when he called the number and found it was switched off, but he assumed that Xiao Su's phone had run out of battery, so he booked another room to rest.

The main problem is that he has broken up with Gu Jia, and the house was given to Gu Jia. He is now homeless and originally wanted to rent a better place with Xiao Su through a real estate agency.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't get through on the phone, so he had no choice but to book another room at the hotel and wait.

Back in his room, Xu Huanshan, who had nothing to do, hesitated for a moment before deciding not to go to work and instead taking a nap.

Last night was quite tiring. This morning I went to process the divorce. Now Xu Huanshan wants to get a good night's sleep and see what's going on with Xiao Su before going to the company.

However, just as Xu Huanshan was about to leave a message for his female secretary Xiao Su and then take a nap, his phone suddenly received a text message.

Seeing that it was sent by Xiao Su, Xu Huanshan quickly checked it.

“Brother Xu, I’ve already left. I was very happy with our relationship, but you are a married man after all. Let’s just consider last night a misunderstanding.”

"You don't need to come to Kyoto to find me. I won't see you. I hope you live a good life with your wife and don't think about me anymore, Xiao Su."

Upon seeing the message, Xu Huanshan broke down.

He divorced his wife Gu Jia, and then his secretary left.

The key is that the way she said it, Xu Huanshan couldn't even get angry at Xiao Su. After all, she sacrificed herself without affecting your marriage, so how can you blame her?

This indescribable feeling caused Xu Huanshan to angrily smash his phone against the wall.

It's no wonder he's like this. He never really wanted to marry Xiao Su; he just wanted to find a sweet and charming girlfriend to spend some time with.

But Xiao Su left after only one day, saying it wouldn't affect his marriage. This made Xu Huanshan, who originally wanted to give Xiao Su a surprise, unable to hold back.

Think about it, if he pulls this stunt, saying something like, "I divorced my wife this morning for you, I wanted to give you a surprise,"...

Well, there were no surprises, but the divorce did happen.

He's just gotten divorced, so there's no way he'd want to get back together with Gu Jia; he still has his pride.

Yang Ke had just returned to Junyue Mansion, but he came to Gu Jia's house.

"Tonight, Yuting will take you to a dinner with the wives. These are for you to make a good impression."

"Also, I'm planning to have Wang Manni stay with you for a while, so you two need to work together."

Yang Ke also handed a set of jewelry to Gu Jia and mentioned that Wang Manni was coming to stay for a while.

"kindness."

Gu Jia doesn't care about these things anymore. The main reason is that even her husband, who was kept so tightly under control, could still cheat on her. How much more so would Yang Ke, whose net worth is dozens of times that of her husband?

Mrs. Wang didn't even worry about it, so why should she?

As long as Yang Ke gives her what she wants, Gu Jia no longer cares about anything else.

In fact, Gu Jia still wanted to start her own business to prove that Xu Huanshan's fireworks company was successful entirely because of her efforts.

"Oh, that's fine. See what you'd like to do, and I'll invest in you."

Yang Ke knew that Gu Jia was all talk and no action. The success of her company with Xu Huanshan was due to their complementary abilities. If she were to start her own business, she would be fine with small ventures, but she would lose control of anything slightly larger.

However, Yang Ke didn't care. So what if he lost money? He would realize how hard it was to earn money after losing it, and he wanted her to help him out.

The next morning, Wang Manni also arrived at Junyue Mansion with her luggage.

Looking at the Junyue Mansion, which she had previously considered unattainable, she couldn't help but smile.

Ultimately, she doesn't have to struggle for a living now; at most, she just has to put on a smiling face for Yang Ke.

In the past, I had to stand all day at work, no matter who came to me, so it's no wonder Wang Manni felt this way.

"Here you are, Manny."

Gu Jia had already obtained Wang Manni's contact information last night and invited her to check in this morning.

Gu Jia had originally planned to bring her newly assigned driver to pick up Wang Manni, but it turned out that Wang Manni had her own car, so Gu Jia waited at home.

"Sister Gu."

Wang Manni also greeted Gu Jia with a smile.

Their lives have changed dramatically since then; they now have a driver when they go out and a nanny at home.

"Brother Wang isn't home?"

Wang Manni noticed that Yang Ke wasn't in the mansion and asked him about it.

“He went back last night to report back. After all, Mrs. Wang has contributed a lot to his ability to live a carefree life in the outside world.”

Gu Jia has been in a good mood lately, mainly because Yang Ke agreed to her request to start her own business, and she also redeemed the house, so she naturally feels relieved.

Wang Manni's arrival also gave Gu Jia another idea: to use Wang Manni to keep Yang Ke with her.

Otherwise, in Shanghai, it would be a pipe dream to live a luxurious life with a mere 200 million yuan. Now that Gu Jia has this kind of life, she naturally doesn't want to go back to how things were before.

She also frankly told Wang Manni that she hoped to cooperate sincerely, and Wang Manni nodded in agreement.

She didn't want to start a business; she just thought that she was already 30 years old and naturally hoped to get Yang Ke's beauty formula, along with money.

Even if Yang Ke doesn't like her anymore in a few years, she'll still be a rich woman even if she leaves.

"He still wants Xiaoqin, but Xiaoqin and I are just ordinary sisters, so it's hard for us to get close. That's where Sister Gu comes in."

Wang Manni quickly brought up Zhong Xiaoqin, whom Yang Ke had mentioned before.

"Well, I don't like Xiaoqin's husband either. She's pregnant recently and Chen Yu is still getting angry with her. I'm thinking of having her stay here for a while, which would also create opportunities for Brother Wang."

Gu Jia has no other concerns now, and feels that there's nothing wrong with Zhong Xiaoqin and Yang Ke.

As if on cue, Yang Ke arrived at their door around noon.

"I heard you were in the limelight for quite a while last night?"

As soon as Yang Ke entered the room, he started teasing Gu Jia.

"No, it's just that a few ladies were interested in the jewelry I was wearing, and we had some things to talk about when we started talking about jewelry."

Gu Jia knew, of course, that these wives wouldn't treat her differently just because of a set of jewelry worth several million. Last night, they were just discussing the jewelry she was wearing, which gave her something to talk about in the wives' group.

To put it bluntly, these wives are financially independent and don't have to work every day, so naturally they need to find ways to have fun. They either discuss whose business is doing well, or their family or luxury goods.

This is why Gu Jia wanted to buy a limited edition bag before, but a bag only costs a few dollars. Yang Ke's set of jewelry is worth more than 4 million yuan, which naturally makes these wives look at Gu Jia's wealth in a different light.

Given the close relationship between Wang Yuting and Gu Jia, the other wives naturally became more polite to her.

But the trap still exists. Mrs. Li also brought up the tea plantation, but unlike in the drama where she didn't mention that all the procedures were about to expire, she greeted Gu Jia with a few words.

Gu Jia, who was previously ostracized by the wives' group, now feels proud. As for the tea garden's procedures, it's just a matter of time and money, but for Gu Jia, who has no idea how to start a business, it's undoubtedly a good investment project.
