Chapter 159: A gentleman my ass

A yawn is contagious.

Never mind leaning right next to someone.

Even just seeing the word "yawn" makes you want to follow suit.

Being affected by her like this, Li Luo couldn't control himself either, covering his mouth to let out his own sleepiness.

"Watch out for me."

Gao Yuanyuan moved back a bit, took out a cigarette, and lit it skillfully. Her gorgeous lips exhaled a long stream of smoke. With the help of nicotine, she seemed a bit more energetic.

Well, she's a female star~

She still had to pay attention to her image.

Even on set, she had to avoid everyone's gaze when smoking.

If she were caught on camera.

She wouldn't be able to maintain her goddess image.

"You have such great energy."

Habitually flicking away non-existent ash, Gao Yuanyuan looked Li Luo up and down, who was still full of spirit: "I can't tell at all that you played all night with me last night!"

"Why don't I remember that happening?"

Li Luo turned his head like lightning, raising his eyebrows at this young lady: "Why don't you help me describe the details."

Her expression froze for a moment.

Gao Yuanyuan quickly realized that what she had just said was problematic.

Her face flushed slightly, and she kicked Li Luo's calf quickly: "I didn't notice, when did you become such a smooth talker."

"I'm wronged!"

Li Luo spread his hands, saying innocently: "Clearly you were the one being a smooth talker first. I have always been a gentleman; friends who give me face all call me the honest and reliable little gentleman."

"A gentleman my ass."

Gao Yuanyuan was so angry her lips were flapping: "A gentleman wouldn't hide in a tent with someone else."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

With a "slap," she covered her mouth tightly.

A memory.

Quietly surfaced in Li Luo's mind.

"Oh~"

He instantly turned the tables, pointing at Gao Yuanyuan with wide eyes: "You're so bad, you actually spied on me!!!"

Being able to say it out loud.

Proved that the other party knew or had seen it.

His extremely strong adaptability made him decisively use a tactic to confirm which point it was.

The latter was still okay,

But the former was a bit troublesome!

"What spying."

Gao Yuanyuan stomped her feet in a hurry, explaining quickly: "I was just bored that day, walking around the prop area, and saw it by accident. Don't put it so harshly, okay."

"You didn't tell anyone, did you?"

Li Luo pressed his advantage, only being able to get the truth while the other party's thoughts were in chaos.

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head like a bobblehead.

"Am I good?"

Li Luo couldn't help but blurt out.

Subconsciously.

Gao Yuanyuan nodded heavily.

But soon she reacted, her pretty little face instantly turning as red as a monkey's butt, and her head shook frantically again.

"Is it good or not good?"

This shy appearance made Li Luo swallow his saliva, unable to resist teasing her again.

"Li Luo!!!"

Gao Yuanyuan wasn't a pushover either; she quickly steadied her mind, reached out, and twisted his arm hard: "If you ask again, I'm going to tell others about this!"

"OK, OK."

Relieved, Li Luo asked: "So, only you know about this, right?"

"That's right."

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, bit her cigarette, and put on a menacing look: "You have to suck up to me from now on, otherwise I can't guarantee how many people will know."

With that pretty face.

The intimidation factor was truly limited.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Luo shrugged, saying calmly: "Anyway, as long as it gets out, I'll just say you're a peeping tom who likes to watch people do that kind of thing~~~"

This time Gao Yuanyuan really went for it, twisting him until his voice trembled.

After another round of begging for mercy.

The young lady finally let go, teeth itching.

After things calmed down.

Li Luo couldn't help but look at Gao Yuanyuan, thinking that this woman had actually spied on him doing that kind of thing, and a wave of heat rose in his heart for no reason.

His eyes became crystal clear and bright.

And the latter also realized that the other party knew she had once seen him in that state.

She couldn't help but look up at Li Luo, but collided head-on with the gaze looking at her. The intense look made her heart skip a beat, and she nearly dropped the cigarette in her hand.

"Cough~"

Gao Yuanyuan cleared her throat and quickly changed the subject: "Did you receive the money I had someone transfer to you?"

"Received it."

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Luo said seriously: "Thank you, made you bleed a lot."

"A bet is a bet."

Gao Yuanyuan answered exceptionally crisply.

"Generous!"

Li Luo gave her a thumbs up.

It wasn't just Gao Yuanyuan who was generous; two or three hours earlier, his phone had received three transfer notifications in succession: 130,000 from Gao Yuanyuan, 80,000 from Xiang Naying, and 400,000 from Wang Fei.

Last night, Li Luo had cleaned out all three houses.

He had 610,000 in transfers, plus over 20,000 in cash.

He had won nearly 640,000 in total.

He didn't feel much while playing, but after those three women left in the morning, Li Luo broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He had never really had much of a concept of the lives of the wealthy.

With Wu Dun and the others, it was just going to nightclubs and playing golf.

Playing cards with Jiang Wen and the others.

At most, it was just entertainment for a thousand or so.

Winning or losing hundreds of thousands in one night was something he was experiencing for the first time, and thinking about it now, it still felt a bit surreal.

Although he could afford to play.

It was still a bit of a challenge to his perception!

After buying the house last time, he had over 300,000 left. Later, there was the endorsement for Seven Wolves and the acting fee for *Sui Tang Ying Xiong Zhuan*. These payments arrived one after another, and after taxes, he had nearly 5.26 million in cash on hand.

This didn't include the acting fee for *Shen Yi Xia Lv*.

His fixed assets were an SUV, a small courtyard of 280 square meters, and three large three-bedroom apartments of over 100 square meters each.

Just this was enough to be proud of!

But winning nearly 640,000 in one night brought his cash reserves to nearly 5.9 million. It was 2003, when even the housing prices in Beijing were only four or five thousand per square meter.

This game of mahjong.

Made Li Luo's smugness vanish in an instant.

Compared to some people, he was still far behind; he was far from being complacent. Whether it was money or women, he had to continue working hard.

"Do you guys usually play for such high stakes?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Luo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gao Yuanyuan again.

Last night, all three of them were calm. In his view, Wang Fei, who seemed the least composed, was just unable to stand the feeling of constantly being blocked, caught, or dealing winning tiles.

She didn't take the 400,000 she lost to heart at all.

"I usually play for small stakes." Gao Yuanyuan's expression had returned to normal, and she shook her head: "Sister Fei and Sister Na play for high stakes occasionally, but for them, this bit of money is a small matter."

"There is one thing you might not know about Sister Fei."

"A few years ago."

"She bought a diamond ring worth several million, and to have better luck while playing cards, she spent another 200,000 to have it blessed."

"Yeah, that's what they say."

Speaking of this, she was full of envy.

Even Li Luo was shocked.

Just how much money does this little diva make!

It was equivalent to wearing that courtyard of his on her hand; having money is truly capricious.

However, top actors' incomes weren't bad either. He remembered that Li Lianjie's acting fee for *Hero*, which started filming in 2001 and was released last year, reached 26 million, and it was said to be a friendly price after a pay cut.

Calculating it this way.

Li Luo's heart skipped a beat; it seemed action actors were also quite good at making money!

"Brother Luo."

Hurried footsteps sounded, Wu Yu's figure swayed, and he dove into the actor rest area and came before the two.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was startled, shook the cigarette she had put behind her.

And put it back to her mouth.

"Bought it."

Wu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the packaging bag to Li Luo, along with a bank card: "The item is inside, I chose a classic style."

Looking at the familiar packaging bag, Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips nonchalantly.

This guy really had no self-control.

Just earned a sum of money and couldn't wait to spend it immediately.

Don't know which vixen he's giving it to.

He's really generous.

Thinking that she had contributed a portion of the money for this, she couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart.

Looking at Li Luo's profile, Gao Yuanyuan's teeth bit down on the cigarette filter lightly. Not only was he handsome, but his body was also very strong, big, good in bed, and generous; he was indeed a perfect boyfriend candidate.

Bian Xiaoxiao really picked up a treasure!

"Li Luo."

Another loud call, Zhang Long waved from afar, and behind him appeared Wu Dun with a smiling face.

"Here!"

Taking the bag, Li Luo stuffed it into Gao Yuanyuan's arms: "This is for you, just to celebrate the nice weather today."

The money won definitely had to be collected.

One thing is one thing!

But as a friend, it was also okay to give gifts.

He felt a bit bad about winning money from this girl last night; after all, she was the middleman, and her starting point was partly for his own good. He might as well give a gift to make up for her loss.

"Huh???"

With Gao Yuanyuan's dumbfounded expression, Li Luo put away the bank card and strode toward Wu Dun and Zhang Long.

"He asked you to buy it?"

Swallowing her saliva, she hurriedly looked at the little assistant sitting on the side resting.

"Yeah."

Wu Yu looked enviously at the bag in her arms and nodded: "Not long after you guys left this morning, Brother Luo asked me to drive back to Beijing to buy it, I just got back to Zhuozhou."

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't wait to check the gift.

Flipping through layers of packaging.

Inside lay a black Hermès bag, a very classic style, the exquisite hardware gleaming with dazzling light, and the bag buckle was the large golden English letter H.

This was also Hermès' unique logo.

Next to it was the shopping receipt, a long string of numbers, nearly 150,000.

Selling a small bag for 150,000 was a very unreasonable thing in Li Luo's view, but women are just unreasonable creatures.

And what surprised him even more was.

You couldn't buy this thing directly; it required a purchase history to be eligible to buy it.

What does that mean.

It means you must have a certain amount of consumption in the specialty store to be qualified to buy such a bag.

Fortunately, Xu Qing was an absolute VIP client.

With the other party's phone number, Wu Yu was able to buy it without any obstacles, otherwise, he would have had to spend tens of thousands more to buy some messy things.

For this phone call, Li Luo also owed Xu Qing a bag that couldn't be cheaper than 200,000.

Otherwise, she wouldn't let him off.

After a burst of laughter, he agreed readily.

Spending a bit of money on Sister Qing.

Li Luo didn't feel the least bit of heartache.

After some tossing and turning, he had this little item in front of him.

Slender fingers scraped the bag lightly, Gao Yuanyuan looked up and stared fixedly at Li Luo, who was chatting and laughing with Wu Dun.

For a moment.

She didn't know what kind of feeling it was in her heart.

Completely unaware of the woman's gaze, Li Luo held Wu Dun's hand and shook it hard: "Brother Wu, thank you, thank you. You mobilized Brother Wenchao and Xiaolong and the others, right?"

"Please express my gratitude on my behalf."

Don't look at Zhao Wenchao's image as an elderly man focused on health in the future; he was very popular right now.

The *Wong Fei-hung* series, and the TV series *Wind and Cloud*.

Coupled with the previously aired *Supreme Beauty*, every drama was a massive hit; with someone like that stepping out to speak up, the pressure brought upon Li Erpeng was by no means small.

"Then shouldn't I also thank you for sacrificing yourself to stir up heat for the production team?"

Wu Dun threw his hand away, his expression indifferent: "It's all a small matter. I was even planning to contact a few Hong Kong stars I've worked with, but before the phone call was even made, the other side surrendered."

"Really boring!"

This remark made Li Luo laugh dumbly.

With the other party's ability, he probably would have contacted people at the level of Liu Hua.

Hong Kong stars were quite stylish at this time.

Especially figures like the Four Heavenly Kings; if they stood up and said something, the storm stirred up would probably be even more ferocious than it was now.

Even if Xu Qing, Jiang Wen, and Yu Feihong didn't take action.

Just relying on Wu Dun's ability.

He alone could have taken Li Erpeng down!

After operating for ten or twenty years, Wu Dun's connections in the film and television circle were no joke. How could he allow others to mess with people on his production team, especially when the relationship with Li Luo was so good.

"It's just you."

Wu Dun adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said softly: "If it were up to me, he would have been skinned alive even if he didn't die."

While speaking.

His face was full of smiles.

People who didn't know would think he was chatting about something romantic.

"The current handling is also fine."

A large hand patted Li Luo's shoulder, and Wu Dun sighed: "Now the internet is full of news about *Shen Yi Xia Lv*, the promotional effect for the new show has come out, and you haven't suffered any losses."

"Newcomer in a new era, being too arrogant isn't good either."

This guy was full of harmony right now, completely unable to see the ferocity of when he went to the US to kill someone with a gun back then.

Beijing.

Time reached the afternoon.

Inside the villa, the sound of mahjong rang out.

"Alright."

Looking at the depressed Li Erpeng, Xiang Naying yawned and comforted him: "It's not a big deal, once it's out in the open, you're friends. Everyone is mixing in the same circle, what's there to be embarrassed about."

"The news on the internet will pass soon."

"I know."

Li Erpeng adjusted his spirit and shook his head with a foolish laugh: "Actually, it's nothing. I'll just take it as a lesson for everyone; be careful when accepting interviews from reporters in the future, don't be led by those people."

Having something like this happen.

How could he stay on the production set?

The gazes of others made him feel uncomfortable all over, so he simply asked for a day off and returned to Beijing.

It was this incident.

That made some of his desires even stronger.

If he could be with Wang Fei, he would absolutely not have been so passive this time.

He immediately called Xiang Naying and set up a mahjong game.

"Fifty thousand."

Looking passionately at Wang Fei, who was sitting opposite him, he picked a ten-thousand tile and played it.

The hand he was holding had long been dismantled into a mess.

"Can you play properly?"

Looking at the "all-tens" hand he was holding, Wang Fei's eyebrows knitted together tightly, and a cheap remark quietly surfaced in her mind.

"No wonder your card skills are so lousy, so that's how you played by giving them away."

Gripping the tiles in her hand, she gritted her teeth in anger.

It was nothing at first.

After waking up, they set up the card game again.

Li Erpeng was still feeding her tiles just like before. If this had been a day earlier, she would have happily accepted it, but after what happened last night, every tile the other party sent out.

Made her feel a wave of annoyance in her heart.

As if she saw that arrogant face constantly mocking her. ===== CHAPTER 160 =====
