Chapter 81 Retribution!
Ge Qiaojun picked up the bag thrown on the ground, “Give me a place to catch up on my sleep.”
Gu Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed upstairs, “No one lives upstairs, you can do whatever you want.”
Ge Qiaojun took 2 steps with a cold face and looked at Yu Ze who was sitting in the living room and looking at Gu Ye. “His senior brother is not a decent person. Since he was a child, he would be mesmerized when he saw a good-looking person, regardless of gender or species. He already teased me when he was 8 years old. This little bastard has the same attitude as him. You have to keep an eye on him, don’t let him be seduced by a vixen.”
Gu Ye’s breath was choked, and he stamped his feet in anger. When he looked at Yu Ze’s face again, Gu Ye shivered in his heart.
Anyway, Ge Qiaojun went to catch up on his sleep while Gu Ye cursed him countless times in his heart. He moved closer to Yu Ze little by little, and smiled guiltily, “Hehe.”
Yu Ze had a gloomy face, and patted the seat next to him, motioning Gu Ye to come and sit.
Gu Ye sat down obediently, feeling even colder in his heart.
Yu Ze asked coldly, “Did you tease that guy who raises insects?”
Gu Ye quickly explained, “It wasn’t me, it was my senior brother. My senior brother saw that the guy had a vicious mouth and deliberately angered him. They both have bad tempers. When they meet, they either quarrel or fight. There is absolutely no other relationship. They were just friends, no, bad friends!”
“You know everything your senior brother does?”
“I…” Gu Ye smiled bitterly, “He told me!”
Yu Ze frowned, “You don’t know your master and were taught by your senior brother. However, you don’t worship your senior brother’s tablet but worship your master instead. How do you explain this?”
Gu Ye was speechless. What was there to explain? It was so unlucky to worship your own tablet!
“You know your senior brother so well. Your senior brother’s old friend said that your living habits are exactly the same.”
Gu Ye took a deep breath. He held Yu Ze’s face and kissed him hard, “Are you going to ask more?”
Yu Ze: “…”
Gu Ye kissed Yu Ze again and said, “Don’t ask anymore, understand?”
Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye with deep eyes and called him softly, “Gu Ye?”
“En?”
“Gu Ye.”
Gu Ye nodded helplessly, “I’m here.”
“Which Gu Ye are you?”
“Who else can it be? The Gu Ye you love!”
Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye quietly for more than 10 seconds, and suddenly hugged him tightly, so tight that Gu Ye could hardly breathe. Sensing Yu Ze’s nervousness, Gu Ye patted him comfortingly, and raised the corner of his mouth, “Don’t worry, I can’t run away, calm down.”
“I can’t calm down,” Yu Ze greedily smelled the smell on Gu Ye’s body, and his voice was deep, “I’m not afraid of anything but I’m just afraid that God will take you away.”
Gu Ye’s heart shrank. In his heart, Yu Ze has always been calm and steady and has everything under control. He has that kind of pride and dominance that he(GY) has always admired and is proud of. However, at this moment, Yu Ze said that he was afraid.
Never thought that this son of destiny would say such a thing, Gu Ye hugged Yu Ze distressedly and comforted him, “No, I have a lot of merits, God won’t take me.”
Yu Ze said nothing more, just hugged Gu Ye tightly, so close that he could clearly hear each other’s heartbeats. Even if Yu Ze didn’t say anything, he understood. Yu Ze was not afraid of people coming to fight for Gu Ye with him, but he was afraid that God would interfere and take his(GY) life away. He was really scared.
Gu Ye said seriously, “I swear, I will always be by your side. If you don’t leave me, I won’t abandon you. Even if I die, I will cling to you. Don’t think of leaving me in this life.”
Yu Ze calmed down and kissed Gu Ye’s forehead solemnly. All the heartache and promises were in this kiss.
…
The next morning, Gu Ye came to the kitchen in pajamas, intending to make a simple breakfast for Yu Ze to eat and go to the company quickly. Ge Qiaojun came downstairs with a bag and stood at the kitchen door.
Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, “Leaving already?”
Ge Qiaojun handed Gu Ye a note, “This is my bank account number, please deposit the fee into my card.”
Gu Ye put the note aside with disdain, “You just wait, I’ll give it to you when I have money.”
Ge Qiaojun watched Gu Ye frying eggs with a cold face. After seeing Gu Ye fried both sides of the egg, he couldn’t help but raise his long legs and kick Gu Ye.
“Frick! Are you sick?!” Gu Ye wanted to raise the frying pan and bang it on him. What’s wrong with him?! Gu Ye turned his head and found that Ge Qiaojun’s eyes were red.
“Pff!” Gu Ye laughed, “You cried last night!”
“Bullshit, your place here smells too much of money stench. I didn’t sleep well and now I just want to beat you to death!”
Gu Ye put the fried eggs on the plate and said with a smile, “Okay, my fault. How could you Qiao Qiao be wrong? I’m sorry, I didn’t dare to tell you.”
Ge Qiaojun couldn’t bear it anymore and hit Gu Ye. Gu Ye threw the pan and hit him back without any hesitation, “I already apologized, but you hit me!”
“We’re breaking up this friendship! You bastard! I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”
“Let’s break up! If you break up with me, you won’t get a penny! I wonder what you can do to support your Guaiguai!”
Ge Qiaojun punched Gu Ye twice again in anger. This time, he couldn’t control his emotion, and his eyes turned red, “You bastard!”
Gu Ye was in the wrong so he didn’t fight back, “Okay, I’m a bastard, I’m not a human, you’ve hit me and scolded me, just calm down.”
“You just fought back! You also talked back!”
Gu Ye was speechless, “That was a conditioned reflex, I can’t do anything about it.”
Then neither of them spoke. After a while of silence, Ge Qiaojun said, “During the Chinese New Year this year, I went to Huaixin City to visit the grave.”
Gu Ye bowed apologetically, “Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
Ge Qiaojun pulled at Gu Ye’s ear and said with a complicated expression, “The main point is the latter half of my sentence. When I went there, a woman was sitting in front of the grave.”
Gu Ye was confused, “Woman?”
“She’s in her forties or fifties, and looks like you.”
Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, “Oh, maybe she’s tired, so she’s sitting down to rest for a while.”
Seeing that Gu Ye really let it go (of his past), Ge Qiaojun didn’t mention it again. After breakfast, Ge Qiaojun left with his bag. Before leaving, he told Gu Ye that he would send the junk to him, saying that he was tired of seeing it. Ge Qiaojun also said a short man like Gu Ye should kneel down while signing for the parcel, which sounded particularly cruel.
Gu Ye was upset. His height was a sore point! He was only 1.75 meters tall now. Even his stepmother was over 1.70 meters tall. She became taller than him after she put on high heels. Has being short become a target of attack? Being tall is not a big deal! He was also over 1.80 meters tall in his previous life!
Yu Ze put down his chopsticks elegantly and wiped his mouth. Standing behind Gu Ye, he hugged his waist and his chin just rubbed Gu Ye’s ear, “Not short, just right.”
Gu Ye was even more upset, and didn’t feel comforted at all, okay?
…
In the crew of ‘An Lushan Rebellion’, Qin Xu came back after 2 days of rest. Coincidentally, Luo Pei also took leave 2 days ago, the same goes for Qiu Yanhuai from the next crew. The set was quiet for 2 days, and the first and second male actors came back on the same day. Director Qian happily told everyone, “Today we are catching up with the progress, no one should be idle!”
Xia Shiwen came early. When she heard that Qin Xu was back, she was very nervous, but the 3 worms still responded to her. So she doesn’t believe that Qin Xu could still be as cold as before. At this moment, many reporters had already come to the crew early. They heard that something big would happen today, and they were all gearing up. Qin Xu, Qiu Yanhuai, and Luo Pei. With these 3 celebrities, what big thing can happen? They are already looking forward to it.
When Qin Xu arrived, many people gathered around him and asked with concern, “Brother Qin, how is your health? Why don’t you rest for 2 more days?”
“Are you feeling well? Don’t listen to Director Qian’s threats. He told us to watch your complexion and tell him if we find anything wrong. We can’t let you get tired.”
“Old Qin, are you okay? I thought to take some time to see you, but you already came back by yourself.”
The female lead Kong Shanshan also came to see her old friend. She hugged Qin Xu with a smile to comfort him, “You are over 30 years old, you should pay attention to maintenance.”
This hug was just a courtesy, with shoulders touching lightly. They had a good relationship, and others would not think much about it. However, Xia Shiwen, who was standing in the crowd, felt her head buzzing, and a string was stretched tightly. Her mind was blank and she only had one thought. Rushing up to grab them both, she pushed Kong Shanshan away fiercely.
“Scram! You bitch!” Xia Shiwen couldn’t control herself at all, and her expression was fierce.
Kong Shanshan was wearing a costume, her skirt was too long, and her footing was not steady. She was pushed out all of a sudden. Fortunately, someone around her held her. When everyone looked at Xia Shiwen again, their eyes became strange.
It turned out that Xia Shiwen liked Qin Xu!
Qin Xu avoided Xia Shiwen with a cold face and asked Kong Shanshan with concern, “Are you okay?”
Kong Shanshan shook her head and was speechless. Is this Xia Shiwen crazy? As an actress, she must first pay attention to her words and actions. Once she does something wrong and loses her reputation, it will be exposed, and her public personality will be over.
“Qin Xu, come back! You can only look at me and marry me!” Xia Shiwen couldn’t control her jealousy and pulled Qin Xu back.
Qin Xu said impatiently, “Xia Shiwen, are we even familiar?”
Everyone looked at Xia Shiwen with complicated eyes, and there was a hint of sympathy. The person she liked didn’t like her. Xia Shiwen was too impulsive.
This scene was nervously photographed by reporters. It turned out that Xia Shiwen liked Actor King Qin! This girl is so scary, her face is distorted when she gets jealous!
At this moment, Luo Pei came and saw everyone gathered together. He asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Are you discussing something?”
Xia Shiwen saw Luo Pei and sensed the breath of the male Gu worm on him. Her expression changed, and she couldn’t control her emotions again as she walked towards Luo Pei. She had lost her mind now. The 3 male Gu worms were well-fed by Ge Qiaojun and were almost turned into king-level. Xia Shiwen’s female Gu worm cannot compare at all so the backlash of the love poison was strong and fierce. She grabbed Luo Pei and said excitedly, “Brother Luo, I like you! I want to marry you!”
Luo Pei looked at Xia Shiwen in astonishment, and looked at everyone innocently, “What’s wrong?”
Everyone looked at Xia Shiwen with a different look. She just pushed Kong Shanshan for Qin Xu, and now she wants to marry Luo Pei. What is this girl thinking?
It was unknown who was in the crowd but someone couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “Xia Shiwen, are you trying to make a harem?”
Everyone was at a loss for words. This sentence hit the point.
Director Qian noticed the situation here and came over to take a look. Then, his face turned pale with anger, “Disperse, disperse. Xia Shiwen, you have to have a limit when joking!”
Xia Shiwen finally realized what she had done. Looking at the reporters outside, they were all excited to take pictures of her, and her face instantly lost color. These reporters were all hired by her. She knew very well how good the gossip was. They could even argue the dead back to life. Who knows what kind of writing about her?
How could this happen? What happened to her?
After filming the scene for a whole morning, she couldn’t concentrate at all. She was always distracted. When she saw Qin Xu, she wanted to stick to him. When she saw Luo Pei, she wanted to talk to him. She couldn’t continue filming her scene at all.
Director Qian was really angry, “Xia Shiwen, don’t come this afternoon. Go back home and reflect on yourself. Do you still want to do this job?”
This was the first time that Xia Shiwen’s uncle treated her so harshly. Xia Shiwen sat in a corner crying in grievance. The reporter found this scene and excitedly filmed it. She had such a good relationship with Luo Pei and Qiu Yanhuai before. She was chased by two men and they fought for her. Now she confessed to both of them at the same time, like seeking her own death. She was so fickle that even Luo Pei gave up on her.
The crew next door heard about what happened here soon. Qiu Yanhuai came here in costume and asked the staff at the door, “Where is Qin Xu? I heard that he’s here. Just wanna see if he’s okay.”
Xia Shiwen, who was sitting in the corner, saw Qiu Yanhuai and stood up excitedly, “Brother Huai!”
Qiu Yanhuai’s expression did not change, but his eyes were cold, “Oh, Shiwen, what’s wrong? Your eyes are red.”
The reporter excitedly pointed the camera at them and heard Xia Shiwen crying, “Brother Huai, I like you!”
Reporter: !!!
My god! Previously, the amazing white lotus Ling Ruyue* forced 3 men to marry her in one day. But this one is even more exciting. She proposed to 3 men without any hesitation, and all 3 men were present in the scene! The news didn’t even have to wait until the afternoon and was released on the spot. The video was shot clearly. People on the Internet didn’t believe it at first: [This is for the plot and is deliberately shot?]
[Was it a Truth or Dare?]
*The actress who was pregnant with someone’s child and tried to trick a rich guy into marrying her (in case anyone forgot about her case)
At the same time, someone released a video of Xia Shiwen pushing Kong Shanshan down after getting jealous. Netizens were dumbfounded, and fans who liked Xia Shiwen were even more dumbfounded. Where is her personality as a sweetheart?
[You proposed to 3 people in one day. Have you ever thought about our feelings?]
Fans of the 3 male gods were anxious. Are you a friggin socialite? Do you think our male gods are your side dish which you can pick whichever you want?
Before this when Luo Pei and Qiu Yanhuai fought over her, fans were pointing fingers at Xia Shiwen. How much effort did this girl put in to fool them go around in circles?
Kong Shanshan’s fans were also angry. How could you push my goddess? You used so much force, have you ever thought that she is your elder?! Isn’t she just Director Qian’s niece? She acting so crazy, is it from Director Qian spoiling her?
Fans of the 4 celebrities who have long been established in the circle flooded Xia Shiwen’s Weibo with posts and told Director Qian directly: [If Xia Shiwen is in this movie, we will not watch it! Whoever goes to the cinema is a grandson*!]
*an insult like someone at a lower position in the social hierarchy
Director Qian almost had a heart attack because of his niece. In the afternoon, he had Xia Shiwen sent home. He regretted it now. What Gu Ye said about his niece being so troublesome was not just a master being angry from getting offended, but the truth!
After Qiu Yanhuai went to ‘add fuel to the fire’, he went back to his set to continue filming. His agent was so moved that tears were about to fall, “You really went back to normal. Go and give Master Gu extra money. Don’t say 1 million yuan, you should even give him 5 million yuan! From now on, I will worship him as a little Buddha!”
Qiu Yanhuai nodded, “Then give it to him. When he is free one day, I will invite him to dinner and thank him in person. This Xia Shiwen, her retribution is not bad.”
The agent remembered one thing, “What did you say about introducing her as the female lead of the MV?”
“That hasn’t been told to my friend yet,” Qiu Yanhuai sneered and said coldly, “I won’t let her have another chance to stand up. If Director Qian protects her, then … humph.”
Xia Shiwen cried for more than 2 hours after returning home. Now that she didn’t see the 3 men, her mood calmed down a lot and she could control her emotions. She realized that there was something wrong with the love Gu, and she wanted to get rid of it. Unfortunately, the old lady didn’t tell her how to get rid of it. Xia Shiwen found her mother, “Mom, that old lady, can you still find her?”
Xia Shiwen’s mother also cried, and said helplessly, “Where can we find her? It’s been more than 3 years. Her health is so poor. Whether she can survive is a question. I told you not to do these dishonest things, but you just didn’t listen.”
“What’s the point of saying this now? I can’t control myself at all!” Xia Shiwen held her head, grabbed her hair like crazy, and her eyes were red.
The next day, Xia Shiwen returned to the crew uncontrollably despite her mother’s objection. Seeing Qin Xu and Luo Pei acting together, she rushed up crying. She held the man one in each hand and was unwilling to let go of either of them.
Director Qian felt a fit of anger which caused pain in his heart, “Who told you to come back?”
Qin Xu pushed Xia Shiwen away with a cold face, “Miss Xia, respect yourself.”
Luo Pei also frowned and said with disgust, “Don’t delay our filming progress, so many staff are waiting.”
The staff present also looked unhappy. They spent half an hour to set up this scene. If it was messed up, they had to put it back in place. If it was not set up well, the audience would find out the mistake. They are also tired, okay?
Xia Shiwen cried and rushed to Qin Xu. She hugged him tightly and said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you. I really like you, please don’t push me away, okay?”
Qin Xu said coldly, “Director Qian, I can’t shoot this movie anymore.”
Luo Pei also looked cold, “I can’t stand this torture anymore.”
The staff around couldn’t stand it anymore, but for Director Qian’s sake, they didn’t say anything bad. But Chai Ming* was different. He was young and didn’t understand the ways of the world. He had never been in this circle before. He couldn’t stand it anymore and said directly, “Why are you so obsessed?! Who do you actually like? If you want to make a harem, you have to be able to support them first!”
*The young man that Gu Ye helped to pick for the movie in chapter 79
As soon as these words came out, the people present looked at the child in admiration, and Director Qian couldn’t hold his expression anymore, “Send her back. We’ll change the second female lead!”
“Uncle!”
“If you still think of me as your uncle, don’t come to mess with me! Go back and reflect on yourself.”
Xia Shiwen’s commotion was filmed by the onlooking reporters again. No one could stop them, and they uploaded the video to the Internet like crazy. The Internet was full of scolding at that moment, even Director Qian was scolded. People scolded him that for a young person to act like this, there must be something wrong with him as the elder. Also, he shouldn’t continue to make movies or be a public figure. He should just go home and retire!
More and more reporters came to watch, while many fans chased and blocked them. For a while, the filming progress had to be suspended. Director Qian was busy asking the people in charge to suppress public opinion on the Internet. At this moment, Xia Shiwen’s mother, his biological sister, came to the door in person.
“You can’t replace her. If you do, she won’t have a chance to clear her name. How will she live in the future? She’s a girl. She still needs to have a good reputation. Else, how can she get married?”
The elder sister, who was born to the same mother, cried and begged Director Qian, “Our mother died early. I have been raising you and Old Third since I was a teenager. There was not much food at home. I fed you two even when I was hungry. Now, you are successful. You can’t push your niece into the fire pit!”
Director Qian’s face turned pale. He couldn’t catch his breath, and he almost fainted. It took him a long time to recover, and he said in a breakdown state, “Sister, it’s not that I don’t support her, it’s that she is too troublesome, and now she is going to drag me into it.”
“What are you afraid of? You are a big director, you are so famous, and those fans believe you when you say something.”
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!”
“Don’t give me this flowery stuff,” Director Qian’s elder sister asked while crying, “For my sake, for the sake of me raising you when you were young, can’t you give her a chance?”
Director Qian was desperate, “She already started from a higher point than others. I wanted to support her, but what did she do? I really can’t give her another chance, otherwise, I will let down the entire crew.”
After Director Qian said this, his sister got angry, “How can it let down the entire crew? Do you have to be so exaggerated?! It’s not like you gave her the female lead role, and her acting is so good! Moreover, she’s your niece! Qian Xian, do you have any conscience?!”
Director Qian covered his chest, his heart pounding. His wife found that his complexion was not right, and rushed over. She said unhappily, “Sister, you can’t always use childhood things to pressure him. We have been filial to you over the years. We have never dared to forget the four words ‘长姐如母’ that an elder sister is like a mother. You always think about your daughter, but can you also consider your younger brother? Do you want to force him to death?”
While the quarrel was going on here, Xia Shiwen saw the things happening to her and thought of Gu Ye, the charlatan. When she heard someone say that Qin Man had gone to see Gu Ye before, Xia Shiwen could not suppress this thought even more. Gu Ye must have plotted against her! He didn’t like her before and didn’t want her to join the crew. Wasn’t it because she didn’t lead the way for him to the audition room at that time? Such masters are vicious! They all hold grudges!
Xia Shiwen looked at those who scolded her online and posted a Weibo video with red eyes, “I did all these things because Gu Ye harmed me! Gu Ye asked my uncle for a consulting fee of 3 million yuan to select actors for the crew. He didn’t like me from the beginning. He deliberately made trouble for me! Gu Ye, what curse did you cast on me? That thing was just a small matter. Do you have to harm me to death like this?”
The Internet was full of ??? when the video was posted online.
Some soft-hearted people were really deceived by her tearful appearance: [No way, did Gu Ye cast a curse on her?]
[Damn, it’s so scary! Curse to control people? Black magic?]
[3 million yuan, my God! Gu Ye’s calculation fee is enough for me to live for a lifetime!]
[Gu Ye is too evil, he asked for fee money enough for 2 houses from the get-go.]
…
On the other hand, some people think the claim unbelievable: [Stop joking, everyone has seen what you did, what does it have to do with Gu Ye?]
[It’s ridiculous, can you look at the 3 male gods and say ‘I don’t like you’ to them now?]
[Did Gu Ye manipulate you too when you pushed Kong Shanshan? I think according to Gu Ye’s style, he won’t mess with a girl like this.]
[Don’t be funny, what family background does Gu Ye have? Does he need to spend so much effort to mess with you? Not to mention you, even your uncle isn’t worth it. Do you really think that the Gu family’s hundreds of billions of assets are nothing?]
[What the above said is right, let alone his father and his eldest brother, just his second brother now controls half of the entertainment industry. Who can’t he mess with? Putting curse? Hahaha, it sounds fresh!]
[White lotus bitch really thinks she is a big shot. Our Master Gu usually confronts you on the spot when he is unhappy with something. Curse you? You are not worthy!]
…
The online argument was heated. Gu Ye logged onto Weibo and saw Xia Shiwen’s face. He smiled and replied: [You think too much. I don’t need to use such dishonest methods as cursing whoever I want to mess with. You also ruined the marriage that was to be had 10 years later. For the rest of your life, try your best to live on and make amends.]
Gu Ye’s reply, combined with his previous style of doing things, made netizens understand that Xia Shiwen had done something unscrupulous, took the consequences, and pushed the sin onto Gu Ye.
At this time, it was clear that Gu Ye was very popular. Half of the stars in the circle came forward and stood on Gu Ye’s side. Some had asked Gu Ye to tell their fortunes, some had been given life-improvement words by Gu Ye, and some had been given a way out by Gu Ye and owed him a favor.
Even the celebrities of Gu Lin’s entertainment company, regardless of their status, directly stood up to support Gu Ye: [I have never heard of Xia Shiwen, whether this person is a man or a woman, or what works she has done. My little Wangye is just sitting at home, and yet disaster has come from the sky. 3 million yuan is considered a lot? I want to be famous. I can give him 6 million yuan to ask for a fortune, as long as he can tell it for me!]
Gu Ye didn’t expect that so many people would stand up to support him for just a small false accusation, and they were not afraid of offending Director Qian. After living 2 lives, Gu Ye suddenly realized that his popularity now doesn’t seem to be very bad.
However, this matter is not over yet. The crew of ‘An Lushan Rebellion’ collectively went on strike. As long as Xia Shiwen’s name has not been removed from the official publicity, they would rather take the penalty than continue the shoot.
This is the first time that a crew has had a collective strike!
Director Qian was stunned for a while. Everything Gu Ye said was right. With Xia Shiwen in the crew, this movie can’t continue the filming!

[Banana: Sorry, I miscalculated the pages to split so Part 1 and Part 2 is shorter than Part 3 lol.
Also, for the Gu worm, actually there is no specific type of insect as long as it emerge as the last winner from within 100 poisonous bugs. I mistakenly use the word worm previously and can’t change it now :v]
