Chapter 394: Let’s Celebrate Our Birthday Together
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In Gu Chuyun’s eyes, there was a sudden glimmer of hope. Chen Yang… The talent agency she had recently signed with seemed to have no connection to Chen Yang on the surface. However, the web series that brought her fame was produced with Chen Yang’s investment, and he personally requested her to take on a role. She smoothly rose to stardom with his support. Gu Chuyun harbored hopes that if she could get close to him, whether it was Lu Zhiyuan or Jiang Junlin, they wouldn’t dare to mistreat her in any way.
When Gu Chuyun returned home, she picked out her favorite dress, dressing herself beautifully. Upon seeing her looking radiant, Yu Fei nodded and asked, “Did you apologize to Gu Ci? Did she accept it?”
“I kneeled down and apologized, but she didn’t accept it,” Gu Chuyun replied softly, feeling very wronged.
“Is this young girl really so heartless?” Kneeling down as a form of apology was Yu Fei’s suggestion. He thought that a girl who hadn’t experienced much of the world should have a kind heart. Moreover, they had grown up together, and although their relationship had been unpleasant, there had been no fatal harm done. He didn’t expect Gu Ci to be so stubborn.
“Let’s just leave it for now,” Yu Fei also felt a bit unhappy, thinking that Gu Ci was being too stubborn. However, upon further thought, she was Jiang Junlin’s sister and Lu Zhiyuan’s girlfriend. She certainly wouldn’t take Gu Chuyun seriously.
Gu Ci continued to hang out with her classmates until nine o’clock in the evening. During a break, Qin Wan nudged her and said, “Gu Chuyun has issued an apology statement related to you.”
Qin Wan read aloud, “Nineteen years ago, due to a mistake made by my mother, our identities were switched, and 1 became the one who benefited from it. 1 have lived as the Young Miss of the Jiang family for eighteen years, receiving endless love and care from my parents and brother. The harm that my family of four has caused my sister cannot be undone. I deeply apologize and hope that my sister can forgive me.”
Gu Ziyu responded coldly, “Is this her idea of a sincere apology?”
Qin Wan said in an exaggerated tone, imitating the tone of internet users, “Oh, now that her little sister has apologized, what else does her big sister want?
She’s just a baby, after all. This wasn’t what she wanted, either. She was kept in the dark. Sisters of similar age, who doesn’t argue and fight? Has Gu Ci really been mistreated by the Gu family? She even got into A University. She’s really petty.”
Both Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu looked at Qin Wan, and she raised her hands in surrender. “I’m just reading it aloud, don’t look at me.”
This comment received the most likes.
The second most popular comment was: “The one who exposed Gu Chuyun’s house is probably Gu Ci. This is really scary when you think about it. The intelligence of the top scorer in the college entrance examination is truly amazing. She ruined someone’s life without making a sound.”
Gu Ziyu was furious, “Do these people have any sense of morality?”
“Anyway, they won’t get into A University, so don’t worry about it,” Qin Wan waved her hand, “Why is everyone criticizing her in response to her apology?”
“It’s all about fan economics. Her fans are upset that their idol got manipulated. Maybe some people are even blaming me for not taking care of our family’s debts, saying that my dad has a lot of debt, and 1 didn’t help,” Gu Ziyu sneered.
“You have a point there,” Qin Wan remarked, “There’s also something about your middle school and high school classmates coming out and saying that Gu Chuyun is kind-hearted and beautiful, and they don’t believe she would ever bully you. They even said you’re a weirdo, antisocial, always causing trouble, have a tendency for violence, and have fought with many people.”
“Well, that’s not entirely inaccurate.”
Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, “Did you win those fights?”
“Most of them.”
Gu Ziyu smirked and said, “People are even buying hot searches about our family’s debts. It’s ridiculous. Mom, should we do something about this?”
“Her statement is well-founded, and there’s nothing to refute. It’s her business how much she wants to spend on buying hot searches, and we shouldn’t waste our money on that. What I want to know is who’s supporting her behind the scenes. I’ve already sent someone to investigate,” Gu Ci said.
“Protecting Mom is also the right path,” Gu Ziyu argued, his hands obediently leaving the keyboard.
Gu Ci was still waiting for updates when Zhou Jinjin couldn’t hold back any longer. She shared Gu Chuyun’s update and commented with just one word: “Disgusting!”
Netizens:
She was acting extremely arrogant, reposting from her main account. Zhou Jinjin had been shooting an advertisement today and hadn’t come to Gu Ci’s house to play. When she saw Gu Chuyun’s latest actions in the evening, she was disgusted to the point that she couldn’t even finish her dinner.
She couldn’t stand it!
With just one repost, the post’s popularity skyrocketed even higher. They were the two hottest rising stars recently, and the competition between them was intense. They even had similar roles, so it was inevitable that people would accuse them of trying to piggyback on each other’s success and curry favor with Gu Ci.
Zhou Jinjin also commented on the comments below, which were trying to ride the wave of popularity.
Zhou Jinjin: As if you could curry favor with her.
After a while, Zhou Jinjin went silent. Her manager had forcibly taken her phone. Originally, they were going to delete her comment, but unexpectedly, the official Weibo account of Hualan Bank had reposted Zhou Jinjin’s comment with a thumbs-up emoji.
Her manager looked as constipated as ever, unsure whether to delete the comment or leave it.
Jiang Junlin was busy and overwhelmed. He had heard about this from Ji Chi after a meeting. Recently, he hadn’t paid much attention to Gu Ci; she seemed to be in good shape, and she hadn’t maintained a close relationship with Lu Zhiyuan after their breakup. As for her treatment, classes, and daily life, everything seemed to be going well. There was no need to involve her in the underworld affairs at the moment, so Jiang Junlin hadn’t been keeping a close eye on her.
He didn’t expect Gu Chuyun to cause trouble again.
Ji Chi volunteered, “Brother, for such a small matter, let me handle it for you.” “How do you want to handle it?”
“I was thinking, why not let Third Master deal with this? It would be better, wouldn’t it? Consider it a test for your future brother-in-law,” Ji Chi thought to himself, Third Master, I can only help you this much.
“Brother-in-law? Who recognized him?” Jiang Junlin sneered, “He hasn’t had any contact with Cici since their breakup.”
“You may not recognize him as your brother-in-law, but your nephew does, right? Ziyu is so cute and smart.”
“That’s because Cici has good genes. What does it have to do with him?”
“No connection, Brother. But without him, where would Ziyu be?” Ji Chi optimistically said, “They’re like a divorced couple, but they show no signs of moving on to new relationships. With a child as the bond, it’s impossible for them never to meet again.”
“Do you know why they broke up?”
This was where Ji Chi’s knowledge fell short. “1 really don’t know.”
“What use are you then?”
“Li Jiang follows Third Master around 24/7, and he still doesn’t know. I asked Rong Li, but Third Master didn’t say anything either. Can you blame me?” Ji Chi sounded aggrieved.
When Jiang Junlin saw that Gu Ci had sent someone to investigate, he instructed Zhang Qiang to compile the information they had gathered in the past few days and send it to Gu Ci. Jiang Junlin said, “No matter why they broke up, a good horse doesn’t turn back to eat old grass. Let’s hope Lu Zhiyuan will be more sensible and not provoke Cici anymore.”
Ji Chi’s gaze dimmed for a moment. A good horse doesn’t turn back to eat old grass… What about you? After a breakup, are you really so resolute that you won’t turn back? This question weighed heavily between them.
“Brother, my birthday is coming up in a few days. Let’s celebrate together,” Ji Chi said happily. “I’ve been practicing my cooking skills recently, and I’m quite good at it now. I’ll cook for you..”
