Chapter 835: Spreading Rumors
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Chi drove away the moment Gu Huanhuan left his line of sight. He was also worried that they’d be spotted.
The younger reporter only retracted his gaze after both the car and Gu Huanhuan left his line of sight. He then scrolled through the photos on the LCD screen of his camera and commented, “So pure and innocent. I don’t think we can find many like her in the entertainment industry nowadays.”
Strange, why hadn’t Gu Huanhuan caught his attention before? It wasn’t until Director Guan’s “Meeting by Chance” that everyone turned their attention to Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan did not know that she had been spotted. She was still holding the breakfast that Wen Chi bought for her. She wasn’t planning to eat it so she could keep herself trim, but Wen Chi gave her a lecture.
That was expected, of course. Doctors usually paid great attention to personal health.
However, she was very happy inside. It felt good to have someone care about her all the time.
Susie walked in not long after Gu Huanhuan sat down. She was without her assistant this time but there was another person behind her. It was Liu Yiyi, who had also auditioned for the same movie.
When the two of them came in and saw Gu Huanhuan, they treated her like she was invisible.
“Miss Susie, I feel so bad for you. You were supposed to be the female lead, but your role was snatched away just like that. In terms of acting skills, beauty, and talent, you’re way ahead of her.” Liu Yiyi’s words were full of regret.
Susie pulled some favors to get Liu Yiyi in, so it was natural for Liu Yiyi to brownnose her.
“What can I do? I can only admit that I’m unlucky. Besides, she’s rich and connected. I can’t afford to offend her.” Susie said bitterly.
There had been reports saying that Gu Huanhuan came from a good family, but no one knew the specifics. Groundless rumors like that were a dime a dozen in the industry.
“How despicable. Some people are just so thick-skinned.” Liu Yiyi said disdainfully.
“Don’t say anymore. The audience has sharp eyes.” Susie always felt that Gu Huanhuan’s acting skills were not as good as hers. If she acted better than Gu Huanhuan as the second female lead, it would be a slap in Gu Huanhuan’s face.
A sinister look flashed across Susie’s beautiful face.
Gu Huanhuan couldn’t listen anymore. Although they didn’t mention her name, she knew that they were talking about her.
She found it strange though because no one actually announced that Susie was the female lead of “Meeting by Chance”, so how could she accuse someone of stealing her role? Or was she so confident that she would be the female lead?
Gu Huanhuan wanted to stay out of trouble at first, but she was angry and couldn’t take it anymore.
A scholar would rather be killed than be humiliated.
“Susie, there’s no one else here. Let’s make things clear. I won the female lead role fair and square. I didn’t steal it from you. Get your facts right and stop accusing me of stealing your role.”
Gu Huanhuan felt really disappointed. She was in such a good mood in the morning, but now she felt like she had just swallowed a fly. She felt extremely disgusted.
“Gu Huanhuan, don’t be so smug. If it weren’t because of the photos of me going to a nightclub, would you be so lucky? Don’t you know what you’re worth?” Susie’s tone was aggressive.
“Since you said so, you can confront the director and the producers. Don’t slander people behind their backs.” Gu Huanhuan was furious. She had never come across such a thick-skinned person. Susie was being ridiculous in the way she twisted the facts. What made her think that she had the right to do so?
“What’s done is already done, so there’s nothing more to say. But you should watch your back. You won’t be lucky all the time.” Susie warned Gu Huanhuan.
“Thank you for the reminder.” Gu Huanhuan said impatiently. She was so angry that she didn’t want to lose the temper anymore. She even found the situation funny.
