265: Chapter 265: Saving Money to Marry a Wife 265: Chapter 265: Saving Money to Marry a Wife “I didn’t think so.”
Jiang You turned her head with a gloomy face, looked at Su He and said: “But he took the initiative to kiss , and that alone is beyond my comprehension.”
The more she talked about it, the angrier she got.
“Sister-in-law, how could I not have noticed his ulterior motives?”
“He’s been coveting for so long, and I’ve always regarded him as a brother.”
Su He didn’t quite know how to respond upon hearing this.
Love is not sothing she could clearly define.
Furthermore, Gu Beiyan and Jiang You practically grew up together without any blood relation, a relationship like childhood sweethearts, their families are old friends.
It would be quite normal for him to have such intentions from long ago; isn’t this how many TV dramas portray it?
“So, what are you going to do about it?” Su He asked her.
That question stumped her; she also didn’t know what to do.
Actually, Gu Beiyan didn’t do anything improper to her last night, just kissed her and then let go.
But that kiss kept her awake all night, which made her very uncomfortable, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
“I don’t know.”
Jiang You sighed deeply, lying there listlessly.
Suddenly, she thought of sothing else and said to Su He: “Right, sister-in-law, don’t tell my brother about this for now.”
Su He nodded, “Okay, got it.”
Jiang Yan sees him as a brother; he, on the other hand, wants to be his brother-in-law.
…
DK Group, CEO office.
“Do you need sothing from ?”
Since Gu Beiyan entered his office, he’s just been sitting on the sofa, silent.
After Jiang Yan finished the last docunt at hand, he looked up at Gu Beiyan and asked casually.
Gu Beiyan was silent for a mont, then asked, “Do you think I should get married?”
Jiang Yan replied with a calm expression: “What, is Uncle Gu urging you to marry again?”
“No, just suddenly had the idea.”
“So, you have soone in mind you want to marry?”
“Indeed I do.”
“Who?”
Gu Beiyan cleared his throat and said: “You know her.
It’s just not certain yet; I’ll tell you when it is.”
Jiang Yan’s penetrating gaze narrowed slightly, he knows her too?
“Do I know her?”
Gu Beiyan replied smoothly, “Yeah, you’ve t.”
Seeing he was reluctant to reveal a na, Jiang Yan didn’t press any further, simply stating: “Just be sure about it; marriage is no child’s play.”
Gu Beiyan thought for a mont, then with a smile said, “I’ve thought it through very clearly, just worried that she hasn’t thought it through, after all, I’ve considered it for over twenty years.”
Jiang Yan seed to notice the subtlety; seems like this man is secretly in love.
But Jiang Yan couldn’t think of any young lady from a well-known family that Gu Beiyan could have a secret crush on for so long without making a move.
He didn’t dwell on it; after all, it’s Gu Beiyan’s own matter.
Following this, Gu Beiyan asked him, “I want to ask you a question.”
Jiang Yan said, “Ask.”
Gu Beiyan inquired, “If I really marry her, would you support , brother?”
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, “Isn’t that the wrong person to ask?
You should be asking the woman’s parents.”
“No mistake, I’m just seeking the opinion of you married gents.
After all, it’s my first ti entering the fortress of marriage; I need to learn from the experienced,” he said earnestly.
Jiang Yan said, “I have no objections; if you’ve truly made up your mind, then marry, but rember you’ll have to take on a lifeti of responsibility.”
Gu Beiyan assured, “You can rest easy on that, I will definitely take responsibility.”
The more Jiang Yan listened, the stranger he felt, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd at the mont.
—
After days of rest, Jiang You resud work.
Since that night, she hadn’t seen Gu Beiyan again; she was deliberately avoiding him.
She was aware of his itinerary, after all, she had her own sources now.
Therefore, she would definitely not show up anywhere Gu Beiyan might appear.
And since she had just joined a new film crew yesterday, she didn’t have to worry about running into him anymore.
This ti, she took up a role in a contemporary drama, playing the second female lead.
Having just finished the morning’s filming and confird with the director that the segnt was good, she was about to leave when soone from the crew approached the director and said, “Director Li, Mr.
Gu has arrived.”
Jiang You, who was about to stand up, suddenly heard the word “Gu” and shivered.
She had beco sowhat sensitive to this na recently.
Without giving it much thought, she didn’t want to stay there any longer, “Director, I’ll be leaving then.”
The director responded, “Okay, go ahead, get so rest this afternoon.
We have a night scene to shoot tonight.”
“Mhm, okay.”
But no sooner had she taken a few steps than she ran right into Gu Beiyan, who was walking her way.
The mont Jiang You saw his face, she turned around as if facing a formidable enemy, and quickly walked in the other direction.
But her assistant, quite excitedly, grabbed her and said, “Youzi, it’s Mr.
Gu.”
Jiang You: “…”
Mr.
Gu was only a few steps away, and the mont she turned around, he saw her.
“Oh, Mr.
Gu, you arrived without letting know in advance, I could have co to receive you.”
Director Li imdiately stood up to greet him.
From the corner of his eye, Gu Beiyan glanced at the girl with her back to him before saying to the director, “I was just passing by and thought I’d visit soone important on set.”
The Gu Group was the biggest investor in the drama, and the director was a bit surprised by his words because he was unaware of anyone in the crew who knew Young Master Gu.
Hearing him ntion “soone important,” Jiang You couldn’t help but think—without being conceited—that he ca for her…
But at this mont, all she wanted to do was to leave.
She feared that the next second Gu Beiyan would “betray” her, she didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself on set.
The director said, “I see, Mr.
Gu, who are you here to visit?
I’ll have them called over.”
Gu Beiyan, observing Jiang You dragging her assistant away to escape, said with a hint of amusent, “No need, I’ve already found her.”
Director Li, astute as he was, followed his gaze and looked back, seeing Jiang You’s figure.
Could it be…
“Youzi, why don’t you greet Mr.
Gu?” Xiao Lu asked perplexedly.
After hearing this, Jiang You felt like spewing blood: “… Greet him?
Am I tired of living?
With so many eyes in the crew, I don’t want to beco a target for a hornet’s attack.”
Xiao Lu, recalling the incident during her birthday party, didn’t dare to ask but now grew curious.
“By the way, Youzi, are you together with Mr.
Gu?
Worried about others finding out?”
Jiang You was startled, “Don’t talk nonsense, we’re not together.”
“But that night you two…”
“Nothing happened that night, stop your terrifying imagination!”
Jiang You quickly interrupted her, then went on to say, “I haven’t settled the score with you for last ti.
You actually helped an outsider record a video; I could have lost face all the way to the Pacific Ocean.”
Xiao Lu, feeling guilty, touched her nose.
She hadn’t wanted to, but was powerless due to authority…
Yet she thought Mr.
Gu and their Youzi made a pretty good match.
She murmured, “Mr.
Gu shouldn’t really be considered an outsider, right…”
Jiang You: “What did you say?”
Xiao Lu: “Ah, Mr.
Gu…”
“Stop changing the subject, what Mr.
Gu!
Let tell you, don’t bring up this person in front of again, I don’t want to hear it!”
“No, really, Mr.
Gu is—”
Xiao Lu raised her hand and pointed at the man standing behind her.
Jiang You turned around to see the man who had followed her at so unknown ti.
Startled, she took a step back.
Gu Beiyan looked at her, both amused and exasperated.
Was he that frightening?
“Xiao Youzi, why do you run away every ti you see ?” The man walked towards her at an unhurried pace.
Xiao Lu was very observant and quickly said, “Oh, Mr.
Gu, our Youzi hasn’t eaten yet.
Rember to take her for a al, have a good chat, I’ll leave first.”
Having said this, she turned and dashed away.
Jiang You wanted to grab her but couldn’t…
“…”
She too wanted to flee, but the mont she started to move, her wrist was seized.
Startled, she felt a shiver run through her body, and where he touched her felt as though it was scorched by fire, making her entire body uncomfortable.
She instinctively wanted to break free, but the man held her tightly.
As she looked up at him, she said with a grin, “Hehe, that, Beiyan, calm down, can you let go first, please?
It’s not good for us to be seen like this in such a public place.”
Gu Beiyan stared at her with an unchanging expression, unmoved.
His thin lips parted slightly, saying, “Neither of us is married, what’s there to hide?”
Jiang You was left speechless by his righteous words.
What he said wasn’t exactly unreasonable, but…
“Beiyan, I’m a public figure, you know.
If soone takes a photo of us, it will beco a scandal.”
“I won’t allow it to be released.
No one dares to publish it.
Besides, I’m pursuing you openly, it’s not a scandal.”
“…”
She took a mont and then said, “Beiyan, there’s nothing about worth your pursuit.
Why don’t you just let go?”
Gu Beiyan stepped forward, and Jiang You instinctively stepped back.
The man’s presence was too strong, filling her with fear.
She had never been as afraid of him as she was at that mont.
As the man drew closer, his thin lips curved slightly, his deep and gentle dark eyes fixed on her, “Whether you’re worth it or not is for to decide.
Don’t even think about getting rid of in this lifeti, Jiang You.
You have to take responsibility for too.”
Hearing his last words, Jiang You stared at him with wide eyes, puzzled, “Take…
take what responsibility?”
“I haven’t done anything excessive to you.
It was just a kiss, wasn’t it?
Besides, you kissed back that night, so we’re even.”
She refused to take the bla for this!
Gu Beiyan said with a smirk, “I have preserved myself just for you for over twenty years; shouldn’t you take responsibility for that?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang You was dumbfounded…
What kind of nonsense was this?
How could it be her fault?
“No, Beiyan, you can’t just make things up, can you?”
“How am I making things up?
Hmm?”
“Your chastity has nothing to do with .
It wasn’t at my request.
You can’t just throw every bla on .
I won’t accept this one!”
The man narrowed his eyes and asked, “What did you say?”
Jiang You defiantly lifted her head and replied, “I said I’m not taking responsibility!”
The next second, she saw him smile and say, “Fine, then I’ll take responsibility.
It’s all the sa.”
Jiang You felt like spitting blood at his words: “…”
Gu Beiyan didn’t tease her anymore and began to lead her away by the hand.
“Wait, where are we going?” She stood still on the spot.
“Taking you to eat.
What, did you think I was taking you sowhere else?” Gu Beiyan raised his eyebrows and said.
Jiang You refused, “No need, I’m not hungry.
I’m going back to the hotel to rest.”
“Eat first, then I’ll take you back to rest.”
“I don’t want to!”
Jiang You was very resistant to staying in the sa space with him right now.
He was too dangerous.
She was worried that he might devour her to the bone at any mont.
Gu Beiyan said with a sowhat serious tone, “Jiang You, even if you don’t want to be in the sa space as , don’t joke about your health!
If you refuse again, I can’t guarantee I won’t lose control and kiss you right here.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang You quickly covered her mouth with her other hand.
She was truly threatened by him…
Half an hour later, Gu Beiyan took her to a private restaurant near the film set.
It was very close to the hotel where she was staying.
“Behave and eat your al, then I’ll take you back.”
Jiang You sat opposite him and obediently nodded her head.
What else could she say when he put it like that?
Soon, the dishes were served by the waitstaff.
She glanced at them and, seeing they were all dishes she liked, she wasn’t as angry anymore.
She ate heartily, with no restraint like that of a female artist, mainly because she didn’t gain weight easily.
No matter what she ate, she never put on weight, so she never deprived herself when it ca to food.
Gu Beiyan barely ate anything, just watching her, occasionally picking food for her, pouring water for her, and reminding her not to eat so quickly since no one was fighting her for the food.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
Jiang You asked halfway through her al, noticing he didn’t touch his chopsticks much.
Gu Beiyan replied, “I’ll eat after you’re done.”
“…”
Not understanding his strange behavior, Jiang You decided to ignore him and continued with her al.
Anyway, he’s a grown man; he won’t starve.
She got up at five in the morning and had been filming until twelve, and the little she ate in the morning was long gone.
Now her stomach was definitely growling.
Half an hour later, she was full, and the man leisurely picked up his chopsticks a few tis.
Jiang You looked at him and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed because the dishes on the table were mostly eaten by her.
“Should I order so more for you?”
After nibbling a little, Gu Beiyan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
“No need, let’s go.
I’ll take you back to rest.”
“Oh.”
The two walked out of the private room one after the other.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, soone called out Jiang You’s na.
Hearing the call, Jiang You turned to see Lu Yunzhan walking toward her.
They had already collaborated twice and were playing a couple in this drama, so they were quite familiar with each other.
They didn’t have scenes together this morning and fild separately; if she rembered correctly, he should have gone to shoot on location.
“You didn’t just co back from location shooting, did you?” Jiang You asked.
Lu Yunzhan had a charming smile, and he was already quite handso – a true fresh-faced youth.
“Yeah, I just got back.
Have you just finished eating?”
“Yes, I’m planning to rest a bit before studying my lines for the afternoon.”
“I haven’t morized my lines for the scenes we’re shooting tonight either.”
“Then you should hurry and eat, then go back.”
“Okay.”
Gu Beiyan stood there, his eyes slightly squinted, as he watched her chatting and laughing with a pretty boy.
It was then that Lu Yunzhan noticed Gu Beiyan’s presence.
He had seen Gu Beiyan before, as he often appeared in public, the president of the Gu Group.
He was sowhat surprised; how did Jiang You co to be with this man?
“Jiang You, you know Mr.
Gu?” he asked.
Jiang You was taken aback; she didn’t expect Lu Yunzhan to recognize Gu Beiyan.
For a mont, she didn’t know how to respond.
She could only let out a dry laugh and braced herself to answer: “Yes, I know him, he’s sort of my half-brother.”
“Half-brother?”
“Yes, brother.”
Seeing she didn’t want to elaborate, Lu Yunzhan didn’t ask further.
After a few more exchanges, he and his assistant went into the restaurant.
“Who is he?”
As soon as Jiang You turned around, Gu Beiyan fixed his gaze on her and asked.
“My boyfriend,” Jiang You blurted out almost without thinking.
The next second, she felt a chill on her back.
Gu Beiyan, with knitted brows and narrow, deep black eyes, stared at her as if he wanted to eat her alive.
His gaze was clearly demanding: “Say that again?”
She quickly added: “Boyfriend in the drama, don’t misunderstand.”
“…”
Back at the hotel.
Jiang You saw the man brazenly follow her inside.
She looked at him and said, “This is my stop.”
Which also ant: you can leave now.
But the man, as if he didn’t get it, just sat down on the sofa.
Jiang You was full of questions.
“What do you an by this?”
He glanced up at her and said seriously, “I’m tired, I want to rest a bit.
I can’t drive back.”
Jiang You: “Then get yourself another room, it’s not like you can’t afford it.”
Gu Beiyan: “I didn’t bring my ID.
Besides, even though I’m not short on cash, my money wasn’t just blown in by the wind, I need to save up to get married.”
“…”
