Chapter 56: Huahua, I Will Seek Justice for You

~8 min read 1,453 words

Gu Tingyan: "Mm."

"Those who do wrong must pay the price for their actions."

"Huahua, I will seek justice for you."

Qin Shu: "Then what about you?"

Gu Tingyan said: "My price is losing you."

"Huahua, if it were possible, I would kneel before you for a whole night, whatever pleases you."

This arrogant man finally lowered his head, if only for her to forgive him.

"Can we not get a divorce?"

Qin Shu's eyes suddenly felt sore, but ah, Gu Tingyan, there is no going back.

I don't want to be with you anymore.

Being with you is too exhausting.

Qin Shu avoided answering: "I'm going to sleep."

"Don't forget the day we go to get the divorce certificate."

Seeing this message, Gu Tingyan's heart sank to the bottom.

Gu Tingyan lowered his head and stared at Qin Shu's profile picture for a long time; he turned around, put his phone away in his pocket: "You can stop now."

"Yes, President Gu."

The entire building was brightly lit, computers on the desks were open, and countless financial geniuses, actuarial scientists, and the best people from investment banks were gathered here today, all just to conduct a high-stakes gamble.

The person in charge clapped their hands: "You can close the net, everyone can get off work early."

Gu Tingyan grabbed his suit jacket from the chair and strode out.

He drove all the way to the building where Qin Shu lived, parked the car on the side of the road, and Gu Tingyan opened the car door and leaned against the vehicle, looking up at the window on the seventh floor that was still lit.

Gu Tingyan sent her a message: "Good night."

Qin Shu did not reply.

The light on the seventh floor went out.

Gu Tingyan lit a cigarette for himself and held it in his mouth, a puff of pale blue smoke rising up.

He leaned there, his tall and straight back looking exceptionally lonely.

Upstairs, Qin Shu turned off the light, but she did not sleep.

She walked to the window, gently pulled back a corner of the curtain, and saw Gu Tingyan's car; the man had a cigarette between his fingers, and his figure leaning against the car looked exceptionally desolate.

Qin Shu stood by the window, staring at that figure below for a long time.

She watched Gu Tingyan's figure, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Gu Tingyan, I really do love you.

But I also hate your heartlessness and your fickleness.

The next day.

When Qin Shu went downstairs, Gu Tingyan's car had already driven away, and a pile of cigarette butts was heaped on the ground.

He had stood downstairs for her all night as a form of self-punishment.

Qin Shu took one look, her body paused slightly, then she withdrew her gaze and hailed a taxi to the film set.

Today was the start of the production, and they were doing a script reading.

When Qin Shu arrived, Chu Sheng hadn't come yet, but the director and screenwriter were already there.

Qin Shu greeted everyone one by one; Xie Jin saw her and hurriedly beckoned her over: "Morning."

Qin Shu walked toward Xie Jin and smiled: "Morning."

Xie Jin stared at that face with deep eyes, slightly dazed by that smile: "Shall we go over the lines together?"

"Sure."

The two had gone through half the lines when Chu Sheng arrived; she reached the scene, glanced at Qin Shu, and then withdrew her gaze.

The reading ended, and the opening ceremony was held.

Director Chen looked at everyone and smiled: "Everyone performed well, especially Qin Shu, who didn't use the script at all; everyone can learn from her."

Qin Shu smiled modestly.

Chu Sheng glanced at her coldly and then looked away.

"There's a cast dinner today, President Gu is treating!"

"President Gu has already booked the hotel, and a private car will come to pick everyone up later."

"Great! President Gu is mighty!"

"President Gu is generous!"

Everyone cheered, but their eyes landed on Chu Sheng; they all knew that Chu Sheng was President Gu's rumored girlfriend, and he had even given her a watch worth 210 million!

The restaurant for the dinner was booked at Lanting Elegant Pavilion.

The overall color scheme of the hotel was harmonized with the five traditional Chinese colors of green, red, yellow, white, and black; the environment was elegant and quiet, with small bridges, flowing water, and pavilions, carrying a bit of a Jiangnan style.

Jiang Wenzhou was there to eat with a few young masters; one of them leaned against the front desk and patted his shoulder: "Brother Jiang, look, that woman walking toward us, damn, she's really beautiful!"

Jiang Wenzhou looked up and immediately saw Qin Shu, who was very eye-catching in the crowd.

"Looks like a group of actors having dinner."

Qin Shu's senses were sharper than most people's; she raised her eyes to look ahead and saw a few young masters leaning there, their gazes landing on her in a wanton and naked way, which made her frown.

These few were all famous spendthrift rich kids in Beijing; in their daily lives, they changed women like they changed clothes.

Jiang Wenzhou, the only son of the Jiang Family in Beijing, was a famous playboy, and many actresses in the entertainment industry had been pursued by him.

Qin Shu followed the group into the private room.

Jiang Wenzhou stood where he was, watching Qin Shu's departing back; the woman had a graceful figure, a face that was alluring and moving, gorgeous and dazzling with a strong sense of aggression, and those amorous eyes were as hooking as a blade.

As Qin Shu walked past him, he could smell the fragrance radiating from her body permeating the air.

"Who is she?" Jiang Wenzhou felt somewhat distracted; just now, when that woman lifted her eyes to look at him, it had stirred him up until he felt all wrong.

Damn!

It had been a long time since he had seen such a beautiful woman who gave him such a feeling!

"I don't know, she might not be very famous; I'll go help Young Master Jiang look into it!"

Jiang Wenzhou stared straight at Qin Shu's back: "Mm."

Qin Shu entered the private room, but she kept feeling a gaze as cold as a venomous snake staring at her from behind, and a chill couldn't help but shoot up her spine.

Qin Shu discovered that every dish on the dining table was to her taste.

On the other side.

The man searched for Director Chen's film crew on Weibo; when the official Weibo account made the announcement, it tagged the actors, and he clicked into them one by one until he found Qin Shu.

"Young Master Jiang, it's her!"

Jiang Wenzhou took the phone and flipped through all of Qin Shu's Weibo posts; there were quite a few of her stills on it, and among them was a set of photos where Qin Shu was wearing a new Chinese-style socialite elegant vintage printed slit modified cheongsam, which displayed her hot and sexy figure to the fullest.

The cheongsam was tight at the top and loose at the bottom, with a narrowed waist that perfectly outlined the woman's graceful figure, while the slit at the thigh revealed a touch of sexiness amidst the modesty.

Just this one photo was enough to captivate the masses.

"This one this time is unattached."

"She's not very popular in the entertainment industry; her parents are dead, and she just relies on a grandmother to survive."

Jiang Wenzhou's eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile.

A beautiful woman with no background.

Entering the entertainment industry is just like being a dish on a platter.

Qin Shu was almost full when the door to the private room was opened from the outside, and several men walked in, heading straight for Director Chen.

Jiang Wenzhou smiled and said: "Director Chen, I knew you were having a dinner party here, so I came over to take a look."

Director Chen wore a polite and distant expression on his face and smiled faintly.

Jiang Wenzhou was not annoyed, knowing that his personality was eccentric; a person has confidence when they have capital.

He toasted Director Chen with a glass of wine, but his gaze turned toward Qin Shu and he couldn't take his eyes off her: "Who is this great beauty? She looks very unfamiliar."

With this question of his, everyone in the private room turned their gaze toward Qin Shu.

She frowned, instinctively repelled by this group of people.

Director Chen looked coldly at these few dissolute young masters: "Get out."
