Chapter 19 Outbreak
Gu Yuanting rarely promises anything, and what he promised Lin Ke is quickly fulfilled.
This was an informal dinner, and the guests invited were all well-known figures in the officialdom and business circles, among them there were many glamorous stars from the entertainment industry, who also served as a foil for the people around them.
When Gu Yuanting appeared with Lin Ke on his arm, a small group of whispers arose.One of them came out from the crowd, looked at the two of them and said in shock, "I read it right?"
Lin Ke smiled subduedly and triumphantly.
Gu Yuanting patted her hand and signaled her to leave first, Lin Ke smiled at him again before walking away gracefully.
Seeing her walking away, Lin Yue approached Gu Yuanting and whispered, "Didn't I warn you? Don't look at Lin Ke like this, but he's not easy to deal with at all."
"En." Gu Yuanting also responded in a low voice.
"Is the relationship between you two confirmed?" Lin Yue asked regretfully from the standpoint of good friends even though they were both from the Lin family.
Gu Yuanting shook his head, "I owe her once, I am here today to help her negotiate business."
"Oh," Lin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered something and said, "My cousin has always been scheming since she was a child, you'd better be careful."
Gu Yuanting smiled, "Don't you still believe me?"
Lin Yue glanced at him, then sighed again, "If the women in our family knew what I told you today, they might rush over and tear me apart."
Gu Yuanting patted him on the shoulder, "Having a large family is a trouble, but you are a sweet trouble."
Just as Lin Yue wanted to refute, he remembered that they were all alone from the Gu family to Gu Yuanting's generation, so he didn't have the nerve to delve into this issue.
Lin Ke was looking for someone to chat with, and she knew a lot of people present, but the family didn't let her participate in the business affairs after all, and the people she knew were all people related to the entertainment industry.
She didn't want to lower her self-esteem and take the initiative to approach her, so someone came to greet her.
"Isn't this Sister Lin?" Another delicate voice sounded in her ear.
Lin Ke looked back, and it turned out that it was an actress who had just debuted, walking over with her benefactor on her arm.Lin Ke nodded at her, then turned to the benefactor next to her and smiled, "It turns out that Mr. Liu is here too."
Mr. Liu's name is Liu Zicheng, and he has invested in a lot of films because of his love for movies. Of course, his love for movie actors is also included.He was about the same age as Lin Ke's father, and knowing that Lin Ke could not be touched, he treated her as a junior, greeted her kindly, and asked who she came with.
Lin Ke pointed to Gu Yuanting over there, and was satisfied to see Liu Zicheng's surprised eyes.
But the starlet beside him was not happy.Probably because she was young and ignorant, she was praised ignorantly as soon as she debuted. She looked at the young and handsome Gu Yuanting and then at the old man beside her, and her tone inevitably became bitter, "Is that the person brought by Sister Lin?"
Lin Ke covered his mouth and laughed, "You really know how to joke, that's Mr. Gu, he brought me here, I don't have that much face to bring him here."
At this time, Gu Yuanting walked over as she wished, and also smiled and greeted, "Mr. Liu, long time no see."
Seeing Liu Zicheng's smiling attitude, the little star knew that he had misread it, and felt even more unbalanced, so he said, "In the past, Sister Lin brought people here, but this time she was brought here once, thanks to Mr. Gu That's why we saw Miss Lin's sweet side."
What she said is actually not wrong in a certain sense. In the past, because Lin Ke cherished his feathers, he always brought his manager with him on such occasions. He rarely behaved intimately with the opposite sex, let alone being a little bird. .But Xiao Xingxing clearly meant her frivolous style when she said this, Lin Ke almost didn't turn his face on the spot.
Liu Zicheng glared at the little star, and then hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, "The child can't speak, Miss Lin, don't be as knowledgeable as her. She is actually happy for you to have such an excellent Mr. Gu by her side."
The last sentence was already a bit of a warning, Gu Yuanting smiled and led Lin Ke away from here.
Lin Ke was not reconciled.She always felt that being close to Gu Yuanting should be a good thing, but she had already been humiliated twice in just a few days. "No, I can't just let it go." She said angrily.
"Then what do you want?" Gu Yuanting looked at her and asked.
Lin Ke thought for a while, "I want to suppress her so that she will never turn over."
No wonder Lin Yue said that this woman was scary. Gu Yuanting was slightly taken aback, and said with a half-smile, "Do you want me to make a move? It's just a little girl's film. If she dares to be so presumptuous in front of the benefactor, she probably won't be able to please her when she goes back. Don't worry. I originally wanted to introduce you to an investor who knows a big director and tailor a play for you. Do you really want to change the conditions?"
"Ah?" Lin Ke had vague guesses about Gu Yuanting's plan, but he didn't expect him to be able to do this. He couldn't help being elated, and pulled Gu Yuanting's arm and said, "Really?"
"I promised to compensate you, so how could I lie to you." Gu Yuanting only wanted to finish this case as soon as possible, otherwise Aning would be a ticking time bomb, and something might happen.
Lin Ke couldn't help smiling like a flower, raised his head and said with a coquettish smile, "Since this is the case, I will let her off a lot this time, and she will cry when she is so arrogant at a young age. But I didn't expect that Gu Brother, you are so kind to me." As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and quickly pressed a kiss on Gu Yuanting's lips.
Gu Yuanting was also taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Ke to be so unrestrained in public, he didn't even have time to hide.
The next moment, a glass placed on the long table beside them suddenly burst, and the red cocktail splashed, most of which spilled onto Lin Ke's dress.
Lin Ke almost screamed, but fortunately, she was mentally healthy, so she quickly calmed down and went to the bathroom to clean up.
With a gloomy face, Gu Yuanting called silently, "A-Ning."
Ah Ning, who hadn't appeared all night, finally appeared, his expression was no better than that of Gu Yuanting, standing in front of Gu Yuanting, staring straight at him without making a sound.
In the end, Gu Yuanting didn't hold on, and frowned and said to him, "Can you be more sensible, don't you know what the occasion is? Are you afraid that others will not know about the haunting if you make noise in the public?"
Aning couldn't help but sneered, "Why should I be afraid? Don't you know that I'm a ghost? Knowing that it's the public, how dare you let her kiss you?"
Gu Yuanting thought, it wasn't him who let him go, but Lin Ke suddenly took the initiative to come up to him, he just didn't avoid it.But if you say that, it will be too ambitious for a kid, and you will destroy your own prestige.Obviously he wanted a well-behaved and sensible Aning, but unexpectedly he was still that tricky and willful brat, which made Gu Yuanting, who had endured for a long time, a little discouraged and disappointed.
"Why don't you speak? Did you fall in love with her?" The little ghost pressed on step by step.
Gu Yuanting simply didn't care so much, turned around behind the pillars in the corridor, and said bluntly to Ah Ning who followed, "Even if I fall in love with her, what do you want?"
Aning was taken aback, then furious, "How dare you fall in love with her? How can you fall in love with her?"
Gu Yuanting sneered, "Why can't I? She's not married, and I'm not. Even if we're together, it's reasonable and legal. Why do you stop me?"
Probably because he had never spoken to Aning in such a tone before, Aning looked at him almost in disbelief, and murmured, "Why should I?"
As soon as his voice weakened, Gu Yuanting's momentum rose.Gu Yuanting looked at him and said word by word, "What do you think we are related to?"
"Didn't we agree?" Ah Ning was also a little panicked, and forgot to use force to force him.
This allowed Gu Yuanting enough time to finish what he wanted to say, "The contract between me and you is just that I dedicate my merits to you. You help me realize my wish. It's a fair deal, right? I I never said that I want to spend my whole life with you. People and ghosts have different paths. It is impossible for us to live a lifetime. If you reincarnate earlier, I will marry a wife and have children. This is the reality we have to face. "
Aning turned pale, looked at him blankly and asked, "You never thought of being with me?"
In fact, this is not the case. Gu Yuanting is very aware of those moments when he was fascinated by Aning, but it is impossible for him to be under the control of a ghost for the rest of his life. Now is a very good time for Aning to learn to compromise.Thinking of this, Gu Yuanting hardened his heart and answered, "Yes."
Aning laughed softly, "I thought, you still love me a little bit. Did I bring shame on myself when I was in your old house that night?"
Mentioning this suddenly, Gu Yuanting finally felt guilty, seeing the young man's gloomy face, he also felt a little regretful, but the water was hard to recover, and it was useless for him to try to explain anything.
At this time, Lin Ke came back from the bathroom, and her skirt was wet with water, but the color of the cocktail was still on it, and it was not easy to remove.
When Lin Ke bumped into Gu Yuanting, he thought he was waiting for him, and he felt joy in spite of embarrassment.She came over and said, "Brother Gu, thank you for your arrangement tonight, but I can't see anyone now, can you send me back first?"
"Don't anyone think about going back." A barely audible warning came from the air suddenly.
The next moment, the warning turned into a disaster.
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling suddenly broke, and the shards of broken glass fell and splashed everywhere, some of which scratched Lin Ke's face.
Lin Ke only felt that his cheek was warm after the sting, as if water was flowing down. He wiped it with his hand and put it in front of his eyes, only to find that his hand was full of blood.
It is self-evident how important the face is to an actor, and she finally couldn't help screaming.
"No." Gu Yuanting tried to stop it, but it was too late.
The chandeliers in the corridor shattered one by one, and then the entire banquet hall.Broken lamps splashed, the light dimmed little by little, and everyone started screaming and running in panic.But they couldn't open the door, and some people were already crying.
Gu Yuanting looked at all this in a daze, and he finally came to his senses, the kid was never something he could control.The gentleness that has gradually increased in recent days has given him an illusion, and now these innocent people will have to pay for his mistakes.
