Chapter 108 - "Mr. Luo Xiu is an angel, not an awful man." (3)

Gu Nian languidly placed her elbow on the table, rested her cheek on her palm, and suppressed a yawn. Her nose felt tingly and her eyes were about to tear up.

Oh.

She was a rich girl after all and had no idea about the pain of ordinary people. Who have meetings at 8 AM?

She wanted so badly to go back and take a nap..

A meeting with the intention to bully disguised as “talking over the script” went by peacefully in 2 hours while the victim daydreamed and was generally being oblivious.

With the initial set back that set the tone, Zhuo Yixuan tried as she might but was never able to bring about a different look on the girl who yawned nonstop.

- Was she tired or was she tired?

Looking at Gu Nian who was sleepy like a little panda, Zhuo Yixuan might not have gained any grounds on her purpose of picking on Gu Nian and was very annoyed by it but she finally comforted herself with:

Hah, good, die from tiredness! She should have known better than to offend her!

When the great Miss Zhuo reached the final page of the script, she finally and reluctantly wrapped up the meeting, “We shall call it a day. I’ll reach out to you if I have any further questions in the future.”

Qin Yuanyuan let out a sigh and tugged on the sleeve of the sleepy Gu Nian.

Gu Nian recollected herself and was just about to exert some force into lifting herself up when she heard Zhuo Yixuan said, “What’s her name can go now. Gu Nian, you stay. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Gu Nian did not stop what she was doing nor did she bother looking up. “Work-related or private matters?”

“Work, work-related.”

“Why couldn’t you have said that during the meeting then?”

“.. then its private matters.”

“We are not friends. What private matters do we have to talk about?”

“You!”

Gu Nian was done talking and packing up. She turned and was about to take off with Qin Yuanyuan.

Zhuo Yixuan was about to lose her mind from anger. She slammed on the table as she stood up. “It has to do with Luo Xiu. You sure you don’t want to listen to it?”

“-- --”

Gu Nian paused abruptly.

Her droopy eyes lifted up slowly and her eyes, dimmed from sleepiness, slowly lit up.

Qin Yuanyuan and Jiang Xiaoqing were close to Gu Nian and knew full well her nothing-matters-under-the-sun-but-her-precious-son-was-the-number-one-most-important-thingpersonality.

Hearing Zhuo Yixuan’s words, she quickly went and tugged Gu Nian at the corner of her clothes. She said in a low voice, “Gu Nian, don’t listen her to. Let’s hurry out of here..”

“It’s fine.” Gu Nian had recollected herself and gave her a harmless little fairy smile. “You head back first. You don’t need to wait for me.”

“But.. ..”

“It’s fine. Trust me.”

“Al.. alright.”

Qin Yuanyuan turned around a few times on her way out of the conference room. After pacing for a little while outside of the conference room and attempted to eavesdrop from the crack of the door to no avail, Qin Yuanyuan suddenly recalled something.

She took a look at her watch. It was almost 10:30 AM.

“Per today’s filming schedule, Luo Xiu seems to have a scene in the first afternoon shooting. He must have come over in the morning and should be here right around now..”

Qin Yuanyuan mumbled to herself and quickly picked up speed and headed over to the studio.

Inside the conference room.

Gu Nian turned around and even her voice was languid. “Okay, we are alone now. You can go ahead with what you wanted to tell me.”

Zhuo Yixuan was so angry that her face turned dark. “What rights do you have to have this attitude in front of me? Do you have any idea the differences between the two of us?”

“If this silly talk is all you got, I am going to take off now.”

“Wait!”

Gu Nian was never really going to leave. If it had to do with her precious son, then she was very curious what it was that Zhuo Yixuan had to say to her.

She turned back around and asked, her eyes languid, “Go head.”

Zhuo Yixuan seemed to have recalled something. Gritting her teeth slightly, she asked, “Were you the one who purposefully spread the rumor among the production team that Luo Xiu has a thing for you?”

“.. .. .. .. .. ..?”
