Chapter 1: Set Up
"What? Fifty million! You're crazy!"
"Director Li, Gu Ran is still a female celebrity after all. This price is already considered pretty discounted!"
"Pooh!"
Director Li spat into in his face angrily. "You have the gall to say that about a thirty-eighth tier celebrity nobody covered in blackmail material?! If it weren't for the fact that she had a rather pleasing face and body to look at, I wouldn't accept her even if you gave her to for free!" "
Inside the poorly lit room and on the ssy bed, Gu Ran's face was flushed as she took in panicked breaths. The world before her was fuzzy and unfocused. Vaguely, she could hear the sound of Feng Cheng's voice.
It's him!
Had he co to save her?
"Director Li, you can't say that! Our Gu Ran is still inexperienced! If it weren't for your good relationship with Feng Cheng, I wouldn't let her near you either!"
That was… Mother's voice.
Gu Ran could not believe what they were saying! What did they an, letting her near him!
Director Li!
Oh, right, it was her birthday tonight. Feng Cheng had said that he wanted to celebrate it for her - he'd even bought a large bouquet for her with more than ninety-nine stalks of roses in it. Then, they had even shared a glass of wine together tenderly. She'd felt rather dizzy afterwards. Feng Cheng had been kind enough to lend her a room, to let her rest for a while…
It was the wine! There was sothing wrong with the wine!
"That's right! Director Li, Gu Ran is considered above average in the entertainnt circle, be it her body or looks. Let her serve you well tonight. When you get tired of her after a while, you can still give her to soone else in exchange for favors!"
"Are you sure she'll listen to ?" Director Li narrowed his eyes. Gu Ran did not look like soone who would bend to another's every whim.
Feng Cheng joined in the conversation triumphantly. "I've installed a cara in the room. When you guys are doing it later, we'll record it in real ti. If Gu Ran dares to be disobedient in the future, we'll release the video onto the Internet. Her reputation will no doubt be tarnished and ruined when that happens. Will she dare to disobey?"
Listening to Feng Cheng's words, feeling his triumphant smile and his glee of having victory at hand, Gu Ran felt her heart shatter.
He was her fiancé! How could he wrap her up like so sort of present and ship her into soone else's bed, then threaten her with blackmail in the form of a video recording!
Feng Cheng, how could you do this to ! How could you hurt like this!
No wonder Mother had so readily agreed to celebrate her birthday tonight, and no wonder Feng Cheng had treated her so gently tonight. Just as she'd thought with giddy happiness that her hard work had finally paid off and that she could now live her life blissfully, the two of them decided to resolutely shove her into a bottomless abyss!
"Director Li, you shouldn't have to continue to consider such a good price anymore. If you're unsatisfied with this deal, we could always find soone else. I know for a fact that Director Zhang is also interested in Gu Ran, and he's willing to fork out an even higher price for her."
That was… Gu Yi's voice!
She did not expect her to be involved in this as well! Truly, the entire family was complicit in this!
Director Li thought about it for a long while. Finally, with much teeth gritting and feet stomping, he agreed to the deal, and transferred ten million yuan to Feng Cheng's bank account on the spot. .
Feng Cheng received the notification from the bank of his successfully transferred money, and grinned in delight. "As Director Li has promised before, the next ti you direct a film, you must give the male lead role to . It's a done deal and you cannot go back on your word!"
"Alright, you will definitely be included!"
30 million, and a movie contract!
Apparently, she was worth so much!
Gu Ran heard them leave with the door closing behind them with a 'bang'. And just like that, the last bit of hope in her heart fizzled out.
The bedroom door was opened and Director Li walked in. He saw Gu Ran lying on the bed with her eyes open and her face full of tears, and guessed that she must have heard the whole exchange just now. He walked towards her boorishly, and touched a hand to her face.
