After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

Chapter 168 Why didn't he feel any relief?

Gu Yichen said calmly, "It's me who wants to marry you, my father's opinion is just for reference."

"I won't get divorced." Lin Qingran said firmly, "I want to be with Lu Siheng for the rest of my life."

She has reached an agreement with Lu Siheng.

"..."

Gu Yichen remained silent.

His dark eyes were fixed on Lin Qingran, so quiet and eerie.

"Have you promised each other your whole lives?"

Lin Qingran told the truth, "Yes."

Gu Yichen was completely silent.

Under what circumstances would two people fall in love with each other and swear to be together forever?

The woman in front of him had threatened to commit suicide a few months ago and refused to marry anyone but him.

Now, she promises forever to another man.

How cruel.

Gu Yichen said calmly: "You like him so much?"

"Yes." Lin Qingran said, "I like him very much."

Gu Yichen lowered his eyes, his dark and gloomy eyes were shrouded in shadows, "He saved your life?"

Sarcastic tone.

"No."

"You said you liked me because you mistook me for your savior, but don't you need a reason to like him?"

“No need.”

Gu Yichen was silent.

"Gu Yichen, I'm going upstairs for a meeting."

Lin Qingran turned around.

Gu Yichen looked at her back, a cloud covering his face.

She is quite free and easy.

If you say you don’t like him, then you don’t like him. If you say you like someone else, then you like someone else.

So heartless.

After leaving Ran Yi and returning to the car, Gu Yichen sat quietly for a long time and made a phone call to the public relations manager.

"Have you finished writing the draft?"

"I've finished writing it. I'll buy a trending search and attract traffic. It will be on the top soon."

"Ah."

"Boss Gu, do you want to post it online now?"

Gu Yichen lowered his eyes, his face gloomy, "Send it."

Lin Qingran doesn't care about him anymore, so why should he care about her feelings?

He had no choice but to repay Xia Shu's kindness.

Soon.

Xia Shu's company issued a statement to clarify that the heroine in the photo is not herself

Xia Shu's company sent a lawyer's letter

The person in the bed photo is suspected to be Xu Xinzhu

Xu Xinzhu's photo at the age of 18

The background lighting of the photos posted online is dim, the pixels are blurred, and the faces are partially blocked, making it difficult to tell who is who.

The photo of Xu Xinzhu when he was eighteen years old was photoshopped and posted online, and he looked extremely similar to Xia Shu in the photo.

Some people believed that the person in the photo was Xia Shu.

Some people even believed that she was Xu Xinzhu.

Gu Yichen also sent people to bribe several of Xu Xinzhu's college classmates, asking them to spread rumors that Xu Xinzhu was supported by a rich man in college and was very vain.

A materialistic and dissolute personality is thus presented to the public.

A few marketing accounts took advantage of the situation and quickly turned Xu Xinzhu, a blank slate, into the kind of woman that everyone wanted to hate.

One is a newly married young lady from a wealthy family with an excellent reputation.

One is a little actor from an ordinary family who worships money.

It is easy to imagine who has a higher level of trust.

Xia Shu's fans noticed something was wrong and began to whitewash Xia Shu.

"Shubao has been wronged."

"I said that the woman in this photo is definitely not Xia Shu. How could our Shu Shu do such a thing?"

"Shushu's family is very rich. How could she sleep with a man that old just for money? I knew things would turn out differently!"

"So the person in the photo is Xu Xinzhu, that's right."

"Only Xu Xinzhu could do such a thing."

"Sisters, it's really scary to think about it. Xu Xinzhu has average experience, so how did she get the leading female role in Director Li's new movie? Is there some shady deal behind this? Did she sleep her way into this?"

"Xia Shu is so miserable. Her resources were taken away by others and she almost had to take the blame for them."

"..."

Gu Yichen was sitting on the sofa in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office again.

The web page displayed on the tablet in his hand was the Weibo hot search interface.

Just as he thought, things were developing in the direction he hoped for. Now 80% of people on the Internet believed that Xu Xinzhu was the heroine in those photos.

The rest are nothing more than Xia Shu's rivals, who want to take advantage of this opportunity to prevent Xia Shu from making a comeback.

There was a one-meter-high potted plant in the corner of the office. Gu Yinan stood beside the potted plant, watering it seriously.

Suddenly, he paused and turned to look at Gu Yichen, "Brother, why did I hear that Sister Ran took a lot of effort to get the cooperation between ML and XIOO for Xu Xinzhu?"

Both brands are internationally renowned high-end luxury brands.

Gu Yichen paused while sliding the tablet, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Yinan, "Really?"

It is really not easy to get the cooperation of these two big brands.

One can imagine how much connections and financial resources Lin Qingran has spent privately.

Gu Yinan put down the watering can, walked a few steps to the desk, and fiddled with the globe on it. "Brother, you have slandered Xu Xinzhu like this. How can Sister Ran still make money from Xu Xinzhu? I'm afraid that the cooperation will be terminated by then, and I will have to pay the penalty for breach of contract."

"I heard that Sister Ran spent a lot of money to sign Xu Xinzhu. I guess Sister Ran also paid the penalty for breach of contract for Xu Xinzhu. Otherwise, how could Xu Xinzhu, with such an ordinary family, afford the penalty of 50 million for breach of contract for Dynasty Entertainment..."

Gu Yichen said coldly, "I have talked to Lin Qingran. I can compensate her, but she refused."

"Does Sister Ran want compensation?" Gu Yinan said with a smile, "Brother, Ran Yi is the first test product of Lin's expansion of the entertainment sector. Sister Ran should want a successful work, a work like Xia Shu, so she will spend her time on Xu Xinzhu."

"But why did Sister Ran choose Xu Xinzhu..." Gu Yinan pondered carefully and shook his head, "I don't understand, could Xu Xinzhu have any personal relationship with her?"

Gu Yichen stared at Gu Yinan.

He knew how important Xu Xinzhu was to Lin Qingran, but he had never thought of it as a personal relationship.

What if Xu Xinzhu is really not just an artist under Lin Qingran, but also her friend and close confidant?

Then, was it too...

unreasonable.

Gu Yichen never thought that one day he would associate this word with himself.

Gu Yinan looked at him and reminded him, "Brother, you are not going too far, are you?"

Gu Yichen's expression calmed down. "What's so excessive? This is the only way to clear Xia Shu's name."

Gu Yinan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Brother, you are really willing to do anything for Xia Shu."

"This is what I should do." said Gu Yichen.

"Is this love?" Gu Yinan asked, "Even if you are cuckolded, you still have to protect that person without hesitation?

Gu Yichen's face suddenly darkened, "Xia Shu didn't betray me during our relationship!"

"She was just young and ignorant at the time. It was just that one time, and she never made a similar mistake again."

"Brother, it's up to you." Gu Yinan curled his lips, "I just think Sister Ran is going to be disappointed in you again."

"Oh, forget it. It's not the first time anyway. Just be happy, brother."

As soon as Gu Yinan finished speaking, he received a phone call and left in a hurry.

Gu Yichen looked at the closed door and rubbed his brows. His expression changed from calmness to tiredness, mixed with a hint of sadness.

Xia Shu was completely cleared of all charges, and things were developing in the direction he had expected.

But why didn't he feel happy at all?

What he felt more was guilt and uneasiness towards Lin Qingran.

If he keeps pressing her like this, Lin Qingran will be sad, right?
