The atmosphere on the plane somewhat stagnated.

The butler sitting on the periphery, had the appearance of keeping a very quiet state and turning a deaf ear to external things.

Shi Yi looked at her son, and then at Bai Xinyu, her eyes were full of interest, as if she was watching a play.

It was the first time for Li Lan to take a private jet. The interior of a private jet was quite different from that of a public jet, but she didn’t have the heart to take a closer look.

Generally speaking, an agent should be against bringing up this kind of limited time group.

On the one hand, the group members come from different companies, which was difficult to manage.

On the other hand, the limited time was short, resulting in a lack of maturity.

However, there were still many agents who’d be willing to lead, including agents with good ability and resources, because they may be able to dig out good seedlings and cultivate a cash cow. (TL:  metaphor refers to people or things that can get money.)

Bai Xinyu was a good seedling that she had liked.

She had always given him the best resources and conveyed her meaning to Bai Xinyu tactfully.

But Bai Xinyu actually wanted to go to Gu Jinmian’s company?

Bai Xinyu was silent for a while, and asked, “Why don’t you want to sign me also?”

Gu Jinmian: “No money.”

Bai Xinyu was different from Du Bai’an, he worked in an established and powerful entertainment company, was valued by the company’s boss as soon as he entered the company’s door, and was regarded as a key seed player in training.

Ah, truly the male protagonist treatment.

How can Yin Moshu and Du Baian, these pitiful creatures, compare?

He can’t afford to dig.

He doesn’t want to dig either.

The word “no money” deeply hurt Bai Xinyu.

He said in disbelief, “You’re even unwilling to make up a decent excuse to lie to me?”

Gu Jinmian: “……Actually, I don’t even want to think of a reason to lie to you, so I’m telling you the truth.”

Bo Xinyu: “……..”

He actually also thought that this was true.

He didn’t know whether to be relieved that Gu Jinmian didn’t lie to him, or to be sad that Gu Jinmian didn’t even want to think of a reason to lie to him.

Bai Xinyu began to doubt life.

At the same time, the crew also started a new day of filming.

Without Gu Jinmian, there seemed to be something missing in the crew, and the atmosphere was a bit different, especially among the girls.

The male lead Hang Yuanting, who hadn’t shown up since going to the police station yesterday, came.

The atmosphere became even more different.

What happened yesterday had already spread among the film crew. Everyone sympathized with Gu Jinmian upon meeting someone like him.

Now that Gu Jinmian was not on the set, when everyone was still thinking about it and saw him appearing, the straightforward people were not willing to greet him anymore.

Others who maintained some false politeness, after turning around, had a different look in their eyes.

Hang Yuanting was a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.

He had never been in such a situation since his debut.

At those awkward moments, another layer of hatred was added towards Ji Ming.

And to Gu Jinmian.

Based on his understanding of Ji Ming, it was impossible for Ji Ming, a violent madman who could only use his fists to solve problems frantically, to be so sharp and methodical when becoming angry.

He recalled Ji Ming’s behavior yesterday, he actually acted very rational despite his rage.

First, Ji Min let the onlookers believe that he was a straightforward and honest man, while he himself was a hypocritical liar. When the onlookers became more inclined towards him, he then used true and false words to slander him. Coupled with his angry expression, he and Ji Nan, who were infuriated and felt anxious because of him, the effect was amazing.

Almost all the onlookers believed it.

This must have been directed by someone behind the scenes.

Needless to say, it must be Gu Jinmian.

It was Gu Jinmian’s coercion and inducement that led to Ji Ming’s defection and yesterday’s wonderful play.

Hang Yuanting walked up to Director Lin under the eyes of everyone.

Director Lin, like Ji Nan, was much more silent towards him than before.

After reading the script for a while, he still spoke to him and said, “There are many people in this movie who put their heart and soul into acting.” So it’s better to remain silent.

Director Lin sighed inwardly, and softened his tone a little, “Focus on the movie, don’t be affected by other things.”

Hang Yuanting looked a little better.

But he couldn’t calm down at all, afterwards, he filmed a scene more than a dozen times and had yet to pass.

Director Lin became irritable, and cursed for the first time since starting the filming, and the one who cursed was Hang Yuanting, who had won many acting awards.

The whole crew was cautious, and no one even dared to take a big breath.

Yin Moshu half leaned against the window in the room, glanced at it from a distance, and then withdrew his gaze with a calm expression.

Ji Ming, who was standing beside him, looked over there and clicked his tongue, then turned to ask him, “Yin Moshu, how did you know that Hang Yuanting introduced me to celebrities?”

When this matter was announced in the public yesterday, it accurately stabbed Hang Yuanting windpipe, causing him to almost collapse in anger.

Yin Moshu looked at the WeChat page without looking up, “Is it that difficult to know?”

Seeing his calm appearance, Ji Ming became more and more confused about him. Feeling restless, he shook his legs and clenched his fists. His manic symptoms were showing again, he became anxious, itchy and irritable.

“Then, Hang Yuanting having six boyfriends during university, is it real or fake?”

Yin Moshu curled his lips into a smile, and said calmly, “Is it important?”

Ji Ming was taken aback for a moment, seeing Yin Moshu’s hands, he felt more itchy and became more agitated.

Yin Moshu said while sending a message, “What you said in public yesterday, you might as well tell those little stars more.”

Ji Ming’s excitement was visible to the naked eye, and he couldn’t help taking a step closer to Yin Moshu, “Hey, that’s very interesting!”

Yin Moshu lifted his eyelids and gave him a faint glance.

His eyes were very light, but the pupils were dark and deep, like stagnant black water.

Suddenly he smiled, like melted ripples.

Ji Ming backed away immediately, he swallowed, “Yin Moshu, can I still fight with you at the club?”

Yin Moshu smiled and said, “It’s a great honor.”

He was wearing a smoky pink shirt without a single wrinkle on it, buttoned up to the top, with a smile on his brows and eyes, polite and courteous, he could even say “It’s a great honor” to someone who invited him for a fight.

However, Ji Ming thought of the pain when his bone was broken by him, and his eyes almost went red with excitement, “Yin Moshu, thank you.”

Yin Moshu: “No, some emotions really need to be vented through fists and pain.”

Ji Ming seemed to have found a confidant in life.

“Thank you for helping me too. Gu Jinmian said that as long as I don’t trouble you, he will forgive me.”

Yin Moshu subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

Ji Ming realized that these words were a little funny between them, thus he chuckled twice.

****

After getting off the plane, Gu Jinmian did not go home with Shi Yi, but went in the same direction as Bai Xinyu.

Before Bai Xinyu got into the car, he saw Gu Jinmian wearing sunglasses coolly sitting behind the driver’s seat of the car.

Bai Xinyu: “What are you doing?”

Gu Jinmian made no secret of it and said, “I’ll go to the crew, to see if I can get it back for Yin Moshu.”

Bai Xinyu: “…….”

Bai Xinyu said angrily: “I like you a little bit, why can’t you be considerate and understanding of me? If I don’t become popular, I will have to go home and inherit the family business!”

Gu Jinmian, with a paralyzed face: “That’s really not worth considering.”

Bai Xinyu: “…….”

He sat in the car, feeling unloved, and sent a message to Du Bai’an while being aggrieved and angry: [The stepmother is the most terrifying creature in the world!]

Du Bai’an replied: [I hope you are not talking about Young Master Gu, he is really a very good person.]

Bai Xinyu’s world collapsed.

He felt that at this moment he was like a poor child with a “dared not to hurt him” father, unloving mother and brothers and sisters that all ran away.

Gu Jinmian and Bai Xinyu joined the production team and participated in the creative meeting.

After seeing this, the director and screenwriter of the crew thought of all the rumors within Gu Jinmian’s circle, “Ah…”

Bai Xinyu was keenly aware of what they were imagining, “It’s not what you think!”

Director and Screenwriter: “Oh!”

Bai Xinyu, who was indignant: “He doesn’t like me at all!”

“Ah!” 

Gu Jinmian: “……”

He finally couldn’t help it anymore, and asked the growing doubt in his heart, “Bai Xinyu, are you stupid?”

Bai Xinyu: “You’ll see!”

Aah.

Look at it, how is this relationship different from what was imagined? Isn’t it still the perverted Gu Jinmian that seizes by force?

Everyone looked at Bai Xinyu’s eyes with incomprehension but admiration.

Gu Jinmian didn’t want to talk to this fool at all.

He now understood He Bujin and his son, a dog and a fool. He shouldn’t have had any high expectations.

Gu Jinmian once again used his golden finger to the director and screenwriter, “Good afternoon, everyone, I have booked a restaurant, can we talk about the movie and character design?”

The director hurriedly said, “There is no need to talk about the character design, we have no complaints about Bai Xinyu, we think he is very suitable for this role.”

Gu Jinmian: “No, I don’t think he is suitable, Yin Moshu is more suitable, believe me.”

“…?”

They looked at Bai Xinyu who was very angry but did not dare to speak.

Is this the splendor of the world in your circle?

Bai Xinyu knew that most of the time, Gu Jinmian, who looked dull and soft in front of Yin Moshu, was really cold and hard on the heart.

“Gu Jinmian, your heart is like a rock!”

“Thank you for the compliment, this word refers to a person’s firm will, not like the heart is as cold and hard as a stone.”

“……”

The director and screenwriter almost burst out laughing.

“Heart like a rock” Gu Jinmian was not affected by him at all, he still used the drama reviews and audience reactions he saw in the original novel, which made the director and screenwriter look at him differently.

They all felt that Yin Moshu was really suitable for the role of the “loved to laugh” male lead.

Gu Jinmian’s “talent” and “wealth” worked in parallel, and the director and producer became thrilled, but this was really not something they could just decide.

This was a flat air drama aimed at promoting their idols on video platforms. They had little power in casting roles, and they couldn’t be compared with Director Lin.

Gu Jinmian: “As long as you can accept Yin Moshu sincerely, others, let my Second Brother handle it.”

Isn’t this a matter of Gu Lifan’s words first?

They basically already knew who’d play in the drama.

It’s just that the news of Bai Xinyu’s starring role leaked out before, and the fans were already aware of it.

“Then what should we do?” The director asked after Gu Jinmian left.

“Let’s release a few more options for the male lead first, so that the fans won’t think that we have already decided on a male lead.”

After Gu Jinmian finished chatting with the directors, Bai Xinyu left in anger.

He sent a message to Gu Jinmian in a dignified manner: [I won’t act anymore!]

Gu Jinmian: [Look at how wronged you are.]

Bo Xinyu: [Gopher Probe.jpg]

Gu Jinmian: [It was you who robbed Yin Moshu of resources, and you’re still acting wronged here, aren’t you an honest and dignified person?]

Bai Xinyu slapped himself directly on the forehead.

Li Lan, who was driving the car, saw it, thought for a while and said, “Gu Jinmian is going too far, it’s just too deceitful!”

Bai Xinyu expressed his desire to go to Gu Jinmian’s company, which made her very concerned and a little uneasy.

She wanted Bai Xinyu to see clearly that Gu Jinmian not only didn’t like him, but also targeted him specifically, there would be no future for him.

But it is possible for a “deliberate hiding”. (TL: the artist won’t  be able to release records, film movies, or participate in activities for him, but they will not immediately terminate the contract with him. Freezing all the artist’s activities.)

“Do you want the company to come forward?” Li Lan said considerately, “I’ll go and tell the company, the company will definitely help you.”

“Or, let the Bai family come forward?”

Bai Xinyu didn’t speak, when she waited for the red light, she turned to look at him.

Seeing his distressed look, she thought she had realized the problem.

“It was originally Yin Moshu’s.” Bai Xinyu frowned and said. “It belongs to him, and he is more suitable than me. Why did you give it to me at that time? Now Gu Jinmian not only thinks I am stupid, but also thinks I am good on the outside but rotten on the inside.”

Li Lan froze.

She clenched the steering wheel tightly to stabilize her emotions.

No matter what, she would not let Bai Xinyu go away easily.

****

After chatting with “The Gift of Time” crew, Gu Jinmian sent a message to his second brother again, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he went home happily.

When Shi Yi went home, both Gu Lifan and Gu Xijun pushed their social activity schedules and went home to accompany her.

After Gu Jinmian washed up, he changed into the clothes that Shi Yi made for him, and walked around in front of his eldest brother and second brother.

Another lap.

Two people: “???”

This light gray suit made by his mother was very suitable for him with a clean base color and well-tailored. It complemented his slender waist and long legs, he appeared pure, fresh and elegant.

Especially when he walked, as his eyes curved into arcs.

Really pleasing to the eye.

Also a little bit deserving of a slap.

Gu Lifan: “Gu Jinmian, don’t get carried away, or I won’t help Yin Moshu get dramas anymore.”

Gu Jinmian was fearless, and raised his chin at Gu Lifan.

Shi Yi, who was satisfied while watching, withdrew the smile on her face, “Gu Lifan, what did you say? You won’t help Moshu?”

Gu Lifan: “..?”

What happened in these two days that he didn’t know?

Gu Jinmian: “I’m not getting carried away, I just want to wear this suit made by Mom herself that I’ll be using to attend Mom’s fashion dinner party, of course I have to wear it for you to see first.”

When Shi Yi saw Hang Yuanting’s true face, she suddenly said that she wanted to go back, and that she was going to hold a private fashion dinner.

Gu Jinmian guessed that she might want to break Hang Yuanting’s fashion path.

Although it was private, those who could come must be big names in the domestic fashion industry. Gu Jinmian must get to know each of them and help his cub find the way.

Shi Yi was very happy to hear what he said, she took Gu Jinmian’s hand and said, “I just saw a little angel circling around me, is it you?”

Ah, still so talkative.

Gu Jinmian blinked and looked at her with sparkling eyes.

He stepped forward and touched her face a little awkwardly, bubbles of happiness and joy filled his body, “That’s right, Fairy Godmother.”

Gu Lifan: “……”

Gu Xijun: “Love makes people feel nauseous.”

Gu Lifan and Gu Xijun haven’t seen their mother so happy for a long time, and they haven’t seen their brother this happy either.

The home thus was filled with an air of lightheartedness and joy.

It really was like the home they had longed for.

Gu Lifan smiled and said, “Say, why didn’t you just provide for Yin Moshu and take him under your wing, it turns out that you wanted to be with him properly.”

Shi Yi frowned and said, “How can love be providing and raising someone? Mianmian and Moshu are mutually in love with each other, so you should be more careful about what you say in the future.”

Gu Jinmian nodded, “Mom is right!”

For the past two days, he had been following Shi Yi and helping her prepare the dinner party, enriching himself happily.

Gu Jinmian’s mother passed away when he was very young, so young that he could hardly find any memory about his mother. He could only piece together a mother from his father’s non-stop blabbering for more than ten years, and imagine the scene of himself being loved.

His father said that his mother was very thin, but she would hold him on the hard seat of the train all night, taking him to see a doctor from all over the country.

His mother was not willing to buy a new dress for a year, but she would buy him an airplane model.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, in Gu Jinmian’s heart, a mother was the greatest and gentlest person.

In the beginning, when he faced Shi Yi, he was nervous and embarrassed, and he was careful not to act recklessly. But after two days, he was overwhelmed by Shi Yi’s selfless and gentle love, and became a happy bubble in the ocean of maternal love.

Very happy.

So much so that when he received a call from the director of “The Gift of Time”, saying that Yin Moshu rejected their invitation and strongly recommended Bai Xinyu, he was in a daze for a while.

“Originally, we wanted to fight for it again, and not inform you yet, but, alas, there’s been a commotion online, thus we thought we should tell you.” He said apologetically. “Sorry, it may be that someone from our side had a loose mouth. “

Gu Jinmian didn’t listen to what he said, and quickly hung up the phone, opened Weibo on the mobile phone, and opened the Goose Group and Rabbit Area. (TL: well-known distribution gossip center for gossip in the entertainment industry and many famous rumors come from here.)

When the director said that there was a quarrel on the Internet, Gu Jinmian realized that it was the fans of Yin Moshu and Bai Xinyu quarreling.

This world revolved around Bai Xinyu, any major deviations were mostly caused by him, moreover the two fan bases had always been at odds and often tore each other apart.

It’s not hard to guess.

But he didn’t realize it would get to this point.

Before, this drama was fixed for Bai Xinyu, and the outside world yielded. Bai Xinyu’s fans regarded this drama as Bai Xinyu’s.

Two days ago, rumors came that the male lead had not yet been decided, and there was still the possibility of choosing among the several actors and idols.

Of course the fans would not be happy.

It was unknown who revealed it, saying that this drama was originally produced for Bai Xinyu, but under the pressure of capitalism, was forced to be given to Yin Moshu.

Now, the already unhappy fans immediately exploded.

Not surprisingly, the two fan bases tore each other again albeit without any accidents.

So far, they only tore a little bit harder than before.

Later, someone broke the news that Yin Moshu voluntarily rejected the drama and wanted to return it to Bai Xinyu.

This may be a kind of reconciliation for others, but not for Yin Moshu and Bai Xinyu’s fans.

Bai Xinyu was originally the Center position of the team, and he was the most developed one, but recently Yin Moshu had overwhelmed Bai Xinyu in terms of commercial resources and movies.

This made the fans dissatisfied and was unable to accept the gap.

Not only did many of Bai Xinyu’s fans not buy Yin Moshu’s move, they also thought that he robbed someone else’s property and returned it hypocritically, which was a kind of charity with a hint of ridicule.

In the last support event in the Gu’s Building, they became famous for their infamy, and their anger and fighting power were particularly high this time.

A ruthless force that was bound to push Yin Moshu to the ground.

In the beginning, there were words such as “capitalist backer” and “secret sugar daddy” in the rotten streets of the circle, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

As he continued scrolling, Gu Jinmian became furious.

They somehow dug up Yin Moshu’s background.

[Yin Moshu is a scumbag who was abandoned by his parents when he was a child.]

[Yin Moshu, even your biological parents don’t love you, there is no one in this world who truly loves you.]

[The funny thing is, his adoptive parents also hate him, why don’t he just criticize himself next?]

One line after another, like uncovering Gu Jinmian’s scars, he was both in pain and angry.

For the first time, Gu Jinmian spoke to Yin Moshu in rage.

Gu Jinmian: “Yin Moshu, why did you return “The Gift of Time” to Bai Xinyu, it is obviously yours!”

Yin Moshu quickly responded to him, in a very calm and not in a hurried tone.

Yin Moshu: “Then why do you target him and hate him?”

Gu Jinmian: “Because I like you, I don’t want you to be his stepping stone, you are so good, you should shine brightly, why should you be his stepping stone!”

In the end, Yin Moshu died on his way to the top.

Gu Jinmian thought again of the scene in the original novel, which he would never forget, the scene where Yin Moshu died.

Even sadder and helpless than when he first saw it.

In the past, Yin Moshu thought that all good things should be given to Bai Xinyu. This was simply his thought, obviously a wrong thought. How could he really do this?

Gu Jinmian wanted to speak clearly with him face to face, so he directly made a video call.

There was an immediate rejection.

Gu Jinmian was startled, paused for two seconds, and dialed again.

Again rejected immediately.

Gu Jinmian shook his hand in agitation, gripping the phone tightly.

He pursed his lower lip and stood there in a daze.

Suddenly, he realized that he himself was actually quite annoying.

When they first met, Yin Moshu had already said to not give him these things.

He was also warned not to say things like protecting him.

But he had no social boundaries at all, with wishful thinking and unreasonable attempts to be good to him, advocating for him on his own initiative, and not asking if he really needed or wanted it.

Gu Jinmian blinked, his thick eyelashes half-down to cover the blankness in his eyes.

So what is the reason he came here then?
