Chapter 899: Chapter 904: The Master of Psychological Counseling
Yang’s villa.
Gu Xiaorou stood at the entrance of the villa, took three deep breaths, and then stepped inside.
"Xiaorou, you’re here," Aunt Lian said as she accompanied the elderly Mrs. Yang over.
The old lady was in good spirits. Feifei’s relatives had been rescued, and tomorrow was her grandson’s wedding—a true double celebration was at their doorstep.
Apart from Yang Gang, Gu Xiaorou now felt guilty in front of any mber of the Yang family.
She composed herself, walked over, took the old lady’s hand, and smiled, "Hello, Grandma."
The old lady looked at Gu Xiaorou, her expression indicating she had sothing to say but eventually sighed and remained silent.
She found Zhang Miao, her granddaughter-in-law, to be completely faultless; she could be considered the most perfect daughter-in-law the Yang family had ever had.
However, deep down, she actually preferred Xiaorou a bit more.
Because Xiaorou was a lot like her when she was young: not too perfect, sowhat timid, yet kind-hearted and loyal.
"Grandma?"
The old lady gathered her emotions and smiled faintly, "I’m fine. I’m so happy that I don’t even know how to express it."
She paused, took Gu Xiaorou’s hand in a reversed hold, and said calmly, "Xiaorou, I really want to thank you. Miao Miao told
that when Gangzi was all alone, you stayed by his side. It’s his honor to et a girl like you."
"No, Grandma, it’s my good fortune to have t Gangzi."
Gu Xiaorou stood there, elegant and poised, like a scenic view all on her own.
She smiled warmly, as gentle as a spring breeze.
The old lady opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she said nothing. She patted Gu Xiaorou’s hand several tis, then finally said, "Let’s go inside. Miao Miao and the others are waiting for you."
"Okay."
When she reached the villa’s living room, Su Xiaoxi had already arrived.
Zhang Miao and Yang Fei were there too.
Everyone looked at her with strange expressions.
Gu Xiaorou, feeling awkward, braced herself and asked, "What’s wrong? Do I have sothing on my face?"
She pretended to glance around the living room and added, "Haven’t found Gang yet?"
"Oh, we found him. Xiao Yu called; Gang and he, along with Little Qi, are together. They said they’re throwing a bachelor party for Gang before the wedding," Zhang Miao replied with a smile.
Gu Xiaorou’s face darkened slightly.
"That bastard claid so confidently before that he didn’t have any close male friends, so he wouldn’t have a bachelor party."
Of course, she didn’t dare to say that out loud.
"We can’t be left behind either," Zhang Miao paused, glanced at the other three won, and continued, "As for our bachelorette party tonight, do any of you have good suggestions?"
"Of course, invite lots and lots of handso guys," Su Xiaoxi said with a light laugh, looking at Yang Fei, "Right, Feifei?"
"Ah? Why are you asking ?"
"Don’t you want to find a boyfriend?"
"Well..." Yang Fei’s eyes rolled around, and then she said composedly, "Great idea! Can we invite Duke from ’End of Days’? I’m a super fan of his."
’End of Days’ is a disaster blockbuster that was recently released, starring the heartthrob Duke and the popular Murong Liuli. This film is Murong Liuli’s first lead role in a comrcial blockbuster.
About Duke, this man is a superstar recently discovered by a talent scout. For his first film, Duke won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with his exquisite acting in ’End of Days’ and has beco a hot candidate for the Oscar for Best Actor.
Duke had a mysterious past. It was said that before he beca an actor, he was a federal agent, which is why his acting was so exquisite.
So also claid that he and the South Arican drug lord Duke were the sa person. It was rumored that drug lord Duke had been buried alive by Xiao Shenwei using "Universal Gravitation" to draw rocks and earth upon him.
Half a year ago, one of drug lord Duke’s underlings accidentally killed a trusted aide of Xiao Shenwei, which resulted in Xiao Shenwei using "Universal Gravitation" to increase the gravitational force of the mountain range where Duke was hiding by a hundredfold, causing a landslide that completely destroyed a three-kiloter diater range. The destructive power was comparable to an intercontinental missile.
Thus, the notorious drug lord Duke who had dominated South Arica for many years was ’buried alive’ just like that.
However, since Duke’s body was never found, it was still impossible to confirm his death.
And it was exactly for this reason that Duke was suspected to be connected to the South Arican drug lord.
Of course, all of these were unsubstantiated rumors and idle gossip. Duke’s true identity remained a mystery.
Surrounded by enigmas, and with a face and physique reminiscent of the young Schwarzenegger when he was a global sensation, Duke, as the new hard man idol, was extrely popular with won worldwide, even surpassing the likes of Justin Bieber in terms of adoration.
Of course, Yang Fei didn’t truly want to invite Duke to the party tonight.
She knew that with Duke’s current status, inviting him to a party held by an ordinary family was almost impossible.
So, she just ntioned it offhandedly.
"Duke, oh, he might co," suddenly said Su Xiaoxi.
"Huh?" Yang Fei blinked.
"Really. Berna Film and Television, the investor behind ’End of Days,’ is a company of the Xiao family. In other words, I am Duke’s boss," Su Xiaoxi said.
The ladies: ..
"You don’t believe ? What I’m saying is true. To invite Murong Liuli as the lead actress, we were swindled by Hangcheng Dream Elf Brokerage Company and lost a lot of money. I admit Murong Liuli is a genius at acting, but before that, she only starred in comrcials and art films. Offering her ten million for her first leading role in a comrcial blockbuster was already quite generous. Unexpectedly, they demanded one billion. One billion for a salary, do you understand how outrageous that is? Currently, the highest-paid ethnic Chinese star in the whole federation is Jet Li, with sixty million for a single film," Su Xiaoxi beca more and more indignant as she spoke.
"This damned Dream Elf is treating us like monkeys, such unscrupulous companies with their exorbitant demands should be collectively boycotted by the industry..."
"Um, Sister Xiaoxi, Dream Elf, that’s our family’s company," Yang Fei timidly said.
"Eh?" Su Xiaoxi blinked: "The Yang family’s enterprise?"
Zhang Miao smiled and nodded, "Dream Elf is a brokerage company dad established five years ago and later handed over to Yang Gang. Murong Liuli was soone Yang Gang personally helped to debut."
Su Xiaoxi: ..
"Cough cough, anyhow, I can invite Duke over, that’s the point," Su Xiaoxi quickly changed the subject, looking at Yang Fei, then laughed, "Feifei, just look forward to it."
"Ha~"
"Is there anyone else we should consider?" Zhang Miao asked again.
"I’d like to suggest soone." The door to the living room opened and Red Moon walked in, smiling.
"Eh? Sister Red Moon, are you here alone? Where’s old mystic uncle?" Gu Xiaorou asked curiously.
Before the question was asked, all seed well, but upon asking, Red Moon’s expression imdiately darkened.
"They say Little Qi introduced him to a young widow who just lost her husband, and she hasn’t been doing well, so he scampered off to comfort her. Under the guise of: work. Being a master of psychological counseling and all," Red Moon said through gritted teeth.
The crowd broke into a sweat.
This, how should they even begin to offer comfort...
Zhang Miao quickly diverted the conversation: "Sister Red Moon, who is the person you ntioned?"
