Chapter 80 Master Gu’s cover might be blown soon Part 2
After a while, Director Qian called Luo Pei, “Stop chatting, Luo Pei. Get ready for the next scene! Makeup artist, cover his chin!”
Luo Pei gently said to Xia Shiwen, “Wait for me, I’ll teach you later.”
“Okay, Brother Luo, go ahead. Good luck~!” Xia Shiwen smiled with her big eyes curved happily. The sweet cheering made Luo Pei excited and he went into the set in high spirits.
At this moment, the reporter from the gossip tabloid finally caught the opportunity and whispered to Xia Shiwen, “Can I interview you now?”
Xia Shiwen smiled and said, “Sure.”
The reporter asked gossipingly, “Luo Pei is so good to you, do you have a good impression of him?”
If this question is not answered well, there will be rumors that the two are already together tomorrow. Xia Shiwen narrowed her eyes and answered innocently, “Of course I have a good impression of him. Brother Luo is like an older brother and takes good care of me.”
The reporter heard that Xia Shiwen just treated him as a brother, “What kind of guy do you like?”
Xia Shiwen covered her face shyly, “It depends on fate, I’m still a baby.”
The reporter was amused by Xia Shiwen. While talking, a man in a costume came to the set with a smile and waved to Xia Shiwen from a distance, “Shiwen, come here!”
Xia Shiwen jumped up in surprise and ran over without hesitation, “Brother Huai, why did you come to our crew?”
When the reporter saw this, his eyes lit up and he took a surprise shot of Qiu Yanhuai. He glanced at Luo Pei who was filming, hoping that the other party would rush out and the two would fight again so that there would be a headline tomorrow!
Qiu Yanhuai is already a top star and became famous at a young age. Although his status is not as high as Qin Xu, he is also an important figure in the circle. When he came, many people in the crew looked over. They really couldn’t imagine that Qiu Yanhuai’s spring day would come.
Director Qian’s face darkened. Seeing his niece foolishly running after a man, he walked out with a sullen face and heard Qiu Yanhuai enthusiastically inviting Xia Shiwen, “I just got you a guest role. When are you free, how about going and trying it?”
Xia Shiwen was as happy as a happy little yellow oriole, jumping twice, “Okay!”
“What okay?!” Director Qian was really angry, “You haven’t performed well here, why go there? Do you think you haven’t caused enough trouble?”
Xia Shiwen puffed her cheeks aggrievedly, “I’m just a guest star.”
Director Qian was very disappointed, “You haven’t taken root yet, and now you want to fly!”
Xia Shiwen said aggrievedly, “If I don’t take more roles, how can I take root? Uncle, you are too unreasonable.”
Qiu Yanhuai saw that Xia Shiwen was about to cry because of the scolding, and his heart ached. He quickly protected her, “That’s right. If you don’t take on more roles, how can you gain a foothold? I have a friend who sings and is also quite famous. He will release a new album soon, but there is no heroine in the MV yet. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Xia Shiwen’s eyes lit up immediately, and she asked in surprise, “Can I really do it?”
Qiu Yanhuai said dotingly, “Of course.”
Xia Shiwen said embarrassedly, “I can do it without an appearance fee.”
Qiu Yanhuai thought she looked so cute and teased her, “Just doing it for fame?”
“No,” Xia Shiwen clenched her fists and looked serious, “I like acting. It’s just that I think I’m too bad at acting so I shouldn’t get paid for it.”
Qiu Yanhuai smiled and said, “You won’t lose a penny of the pay.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want it!”
“Then I’ll make it up to you in other ways.”
Director Qian was so angry that his face turned pale. Thinking of what Gu Ye said, “She caused a lot of trouble,” he became even more exasperated. He didn’t expect that this remark was not what Gu Ye said out of anger. His niece is really a troublemaker!
Little did Director Qian know that after Qiu Yanhuai went back, his agent was almost mad. He slammed the table and asked Qiu Yanhuai, “Are you crazy? This Xia Shiwen is not as innocent as she seems! She is playing you and Luo Pei all over the place! You have been in the industry for so many years, and you can’t see this?!”
Qiu Yanhuai said coldly, “The one crazy is you! Don’t slander her, it’s not easy that I am finally moved!”
“What moved?! You two only met once! You’re already so in love with her before you’ve even spoken a few words to her? At least Luo Pei is in the same crew as her, and people can still say that they fell in love over time! What about you? Is something wrong with your head?”
Qiu Yanhuai also has a bad temper, and he got annoyed when his agent said this. Thinking of Xia Shiwen and Luo Pei being in the same crew, facing each other day and night, he was jealous, “I just fell in love at first sight, so what?”
The agent’s face flushed with anger, “You are not in love at first sight, you are insane!”
“I’m not crazy, I know what I am doing!”
“Then you can withdraw from the job next month! Go back home and calm down!”
“So be it, I can still go home and inherit the family business without the job, what can you do to me?”
At this point, Qiu Yanhuai’s expression stilled. When he saw the pale face of his agent, his anger instantly subsided. He looked at the other party apologetically and opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say out of guilt. The two have worked together for many years. Qiu Yanhuai entered the entertainment industry when he was in his teens. His agent has been protecting him and has promoted him to his current position for more than 10 years, just like a family member. Qiu Yanhuai regretted saying such hurtful words on impulse, but he just couldn’t control himself. When it came to Xia Shiwen, he wanted to go crazy.
The agent took a deep breath, turned around, and left in despair, not wanting to say a word more.
“Brother!” Qiu Yanhuai hurriedly chased after him, anxiously stopping the agent from leaving.
The agent said heartbrokenly, “Don’t call me brother, you are my brother! You are my ancestor!”
“Brother! I was wrong!” Qiu Yanhuai said palely, “I think I may be really crazy, just like being poisoned.”
The agent gnashed his teeth and said angrily, “I think I should find a master to exorcise the evil spirits for you!”
After working so many years in the circle, the agent still has some connections. Soon, he found Gu Ye’s contact information and told Gu Ye about Qiu Yanhuai’s situation. Gu Ye told him, “Bring him here.”
The treatment was also the same acupuncture with gold needles, and blood drawing on the talisman. After finishing it, Gu Ye told the other party, “This control can only be suppressed for 5 days, but this matter should be resolved in the next 2 days. Don’t forget to send me 2 million yuan of life-saving money after he’s recovered.”
It was the first time Qiu Yanhuai saw a master who asked for money so confidently. He glanced at his agent. Is this beautiful little master really as accurate as the rumors on the Internet? Others asked for some praying money in a subtle way, but he asked for 2 million yuan directly.
The agent glared at Qiu Yanhuai before standing up and said to Gu Ye gratefully, “Thank you for your hard work, Master Gu. As long as he is fine, we will definitely send the money!”
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “It will be almost done tomorrow.”
…
The next morning at the airport, Secretary Liu held up a sign with a look of despair.
On the sign, it says:
Ge Qiaojun,
Look here.
→
Because this surname is so rare, everyone at the airport would look at him. Secretary Liu, who looked like a business elite, felt like an idiot at this moment.
Gu Ye sat in the car, watching from a distance, and advised Yu Ze beside him, “Why don’t you go back? You are so busy, you really don’t need to wait here with me.”
Yu Ze said coldly, “I think it’s better for me to accompany you.”
Gu Ye took out a bag of popping candy, and could only eat to relieve his nervousness, “Why?”
Yu Ze looked profound, “Intuition.”
Gu Ye was in a terrible mood that even eating candy couldn’t relieve it. Yu Ze was so sharp-minded, and Ge Qiaojun was his long-time friend. He was actually taking a risk by tricking his friend to come this time because the other party would recognize him. If the other party said something and was noticed by the sharp Yu Ze, wouldn’t his cover be blown?
Gu Ye had a feeling that Yu Ze had suspected him a long time ago.
At this moment, a tall and slender man with a height of 1.85 meters, wearing a knee-length windbreaker, walked out of the airport coolly. He had an androgynous face, his hair was a little long, and he tied a small braid behind his head. If it weren’t for his height and Adam’s apple, he wouldn’t be seen as a man at all.
Seeing the pick-up sign, the man walked over expressionlessly to Secretary Liu and asked coldly, “Where is Gu Ye’s junior brother?”
Secretary Liu was shocked by the other party’s good looks, “I…”1
“You are not.” The other party said coldly, “Gu Ye, that idiot face-con, he looks for a junior brother like how he’ll get a wife. So he’ll definitely be looking for a good-looking one.”
That statement got Secretary Liu choking on his breath. He was not as good-looking as the third young master, so much apologies to the people of the world.
Gu Ye took a deep breath when he saw this figure. He didn’t expect to be able to see this idiot again! He hurriedly stuffed the candy into Yu Ze’s hand and suppressed his excitement. Opening the car door, he walked over and called out, “Qiaoqiao… Ge Qiaojun!”
Seeing Gu Ye running over, Ge Qiaojun’s pupils shrank, and he stood stiffly watching Gu Ye approaching nearer. Looking at Gu Ye’s overly young face, a bit of annoyance flashed in his eyes. After all, it wasn’t him. Seeing Gu Ye’s appearance, he said confidently, “You are Gu Ye’s junior brother.”
Gu Ye nodded obediently, “Yes.”
Ge Qiaojun frowned, looked at Gu Ye’s eyes carefully, and asked inquiringly, “Who are you exactly?”
Gu Ye smiled and said, “Gu Ye’s junior brother. I am also called Gu Ye, my senior brother said that because of the same name, he…”
Ge Qiaojun interrupted Gu Ye and said coldly, “I really thought that the idiot Gu Ye was resurrected. You two are the same, pretending to be obedient.”
Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, and he said guiltily, “How can a person be resurrected from the dead?”
Ge Qiaojun’s eyes fell on Yu Ze who followed Gu Ye out, frowned, and asked, “Who is this?”
Gu Ye introduced with a smile, “My boyfriend.”
Ge Qiaojun looked at Gu Ye with a more inquiring look, “This face is very much in line with Gu Ye’s taste, a face-con.”
Gu Ye couldn’t hold it back any longer and lashed back, “You have such a poisonous tongue!”
“You’re just as bad as Gu Ye when you curse people, you don’t even suffer a single grievance.”
Gu Ye resisted the urge to retort, “One can eat (suffer) anything but grievance, my senior brother taught me that.”
Ge Qiaojun raised his eyebrows, “Then how about shiet?”
“I’ll let you eat shiet!” Gu Ye wanted to jump up and kick Ge Qiaojun. Damn, this damn temper has not changed in so many years! A person with such a vicious mouth is not afraid of poisoning himself to death!
The two of them cursed at each other at the airport when they only met for the first time. The curses were particularly dirty, but it can be seen that the two of them seem to be very familiar. Secretary Liu carefully looked at Yu Ze’s face and saw that he hadn’t spoken a word. However, his expression was calmly observing from the side, and he couldn’t guess what the boss was thinking.
Ge Qiaojun carefully examined Gu Ye’s eyes, “Are you really not Gu Ye? You didn’t find a corpse to revive, did you? I feel your aura is very familiar.”
Friggin aura! Do you have antennae and receptors like insects?!
Gu Ye looked at Yu Ze carefully, his heart chilled, “I am Gu Decheng’s son! I have a father and a mother! I have a clean background! And if my senior brother were alive, he would be 27 years old this year, and I am 20 years old! It’s impossible for us to be related in any sense, okay? Borrowing a corpse to revive, do you think you are writing a novel?”
Ge Qiaojun’s face turned cold, “You’re right. For his sake, I will help you once.”
All the way, Gu Ye was observing Yu Ze’s expression, and he had no idea what he was thinking at all. He could only hope that Yu Ze would still sneer at such fantastical stuff as before. But on the other hand, he himself found this idea funny. There was a human skin doll that could run around at home, a beautiful sister who came down from the painting, Kuman Thong who could draw talismans, a ghost doll that could get into a doll to wipe the floor, and a spirit cat that could leave its body at any time. Yu Ze was exposed to these things every day with him, so could he still be an atheist like before?
Seeing Gu Ye being cautious, Yu Ze grabbed his hand with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ye saw that Yu Ze didn’t seem to be suspicious at all, and felt even more uneasy. He used the excuse of looking at Ge Qiaojun who was sitting in the back row with his eyes closed to catch up on sleep, “Nothing, I just think it’s amazing that I found my senior brother’s friend.”
Yu Ze asked gently, “Thinking of your senior brother again?”
Gu Ye smiled, “I’m fine. Though the dead are gone, he didn’t die in humiliation.”
Yu Ze thought of 2 memorial tablets in Gu Ye’s study. One was the King of Hell, and the other was his master. There isn’t anything for the senior brother who introduced him to the sect despite that he was always mentioned in Gu Ye’s words. Yu Ze curled his lips and looked at Gu Ye with a gentle expression, but he held Gu Ye’s hand tightly as if he was afraid of losing it.
Gu Ye already felt his hand hurt and looked at Yu Ze’s expression puzzledly. As usual, he didn’t see any difference, but he still felt that Yu Ze was a little bit wrong.
Just after arriving home and before getting out of the car, Gu Ye received a call from Qin Man. She was crying in anger, “Something bad happened, Master Gu! Qin Xu suddenly had heart pain just now and was sent to the hospital! He said the pain was the same as when he had an attack (from the Gu)!”
“What? Even with a substitute spell, it can still be like this?” Gu Ye’s expression turned cold and he ran down the car. Rushing back home, he took out the paper man with Qin Xu’s name on it. The paper man had turned black, and the talisman drawn on it had turned black as well.
Ge Qiaojun took the paper man and looked at it, saying with disgust, “The person who cast the Gu couldn’t control the man and wanted to kill him. If it weren’t for this substitute spell, he would have died.”
Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he saved a life.
At this moment, Ge Qiaojun said with disdain, “You and Gu Ye have the same bad habit. When you draw the talisman, there is an upward hook at the end, just like a fox tail, full of coquettishness.”
Gu Ye covered his chest, frick! Can’t you just say less?!
Yu Ze stood at the door of the study, still expressionless, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
