When Gu Ruochu heard this, she suddenly scoffed, "If it were me, I would rather live the previous life. At least I wouldn't be sad and wouldn't be hurt at all. It's just like having a perfect dream. In the end, it's just a dream. Afterward, it turns into a gut-piercing poison."
Xu Yichen shook his head and sighed. "Ruochu, you're too overprotective of your heart. What if in the end, he falls in love with you..."
Xu Yichen stopped himself before he could finish the sentence. Perhaps, Ruochu was right to push him away before she completely fell in love with him. It would be better for her to get away from Huo Nanchen so that she would not hurt herself for love.
Huo Nanchen was too dangerous and complicated.
The room suddenly fell silent. Gu Ruochu and Xu Yichen thought about the situation. Rong Xiao walked over, and he seemed to be in an awful mood. He grabbed a cup and poured some water into it.
"What's wrong, Dog? Why are you in such a bad mood?"
Xu Yichen acted as if he had nothing to do with his bad mood. Rong Xiao could not help but glare at him. "It's all because of the mess at the company. You should stop acting so high and mighty in this matter. Hurry up and solve this problem! Running an entertainment company like this is indeed more troublesome than I thought."
The constant drama in the entertainment industry was more than enough to keep him busy.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong with the company?"
Gu Ruochu looked at Rong Xiao's irritable expression and knew that he must have encountered something troublesome.
"It's all the entertainment gossip!" Rong Xiao handed his tablet to Gu Ruochu. "Look, the people over at ME are looking to start a quarrel with us. If it wasn't for ME backing her, would Gu Yanwei have the ability to stir up such a wave?"
An entertainment gossip site had run a story about ME's new star, Gu Yanwei. In the article, Gu Yanwei accused a male artist from the Huang Tu agency of sexual harassment. The news was quickly spreading on the Internet.
'HUANG TU'S MALE ARTIST SEXUALLY ASSAULTS ME'S NEW STAR, GU YANWEI'
'The entertainment industry is a clean stream. The little star has angrily denounced the unspoken rules.'
'The rising entertainment company, Huang Tu, has once again been involved in a scandal, raising questions whether its higher-ups are condoning it.'
Gu Ruochu scanned through the article and remained calm. "Rong Xiao, tell me the whole story from the beginning to the end."
There had to be an explanation of how such a scandal had been exposed. Of course, there was a high chance that Gu Yanwei had found something to use against her.
"It's Jiang Chao's fault. Last night, at a cocktail party, he had a few drinks with several directors and producers. He got so drunk that he did not know which private room he had barged into. Coincidentally, it was Gu Yanwei's room. This kid is a jerk. He tried to hook up with Gu Yanwei!"
Rong Xiao found out about the incident that morning. He hurriedly called Jiang Chao's manager and found out that the artist did not have a clear recollection of what had happened. Unfortunately, Gu Yanwei filmed the incident.
Early in the morning, Gu Yanwei had posted about the incident on Weibo. She berated the Huang Tu male artist for sexually assaulting her. Gu Yanwei's allegations were all people on the site were talking about.
After hearing the details of the matter, Gu Ruochu propped her chin on her hand. Her eyes were cold and sharp. "Hehe! Our artist was set up by Gu Yanwei!"
Gu Yanwei knew that Gu Ruochu was involved with the Imperial Road entertainment company. It seemed that Wang Xin now knew of this fact. Other than the desire for revenge, there were also many other interests involved.
"That's right." Rong Xiao's pair of peach-shaped eyes were full of evil thoughts. "Our company has just managed to get this male artist, the second male lead for Director Wang Gang. He has always been the most promising male actor in the company. Not only has that artist lost an opportunity, but our company will also be adversely affected by the gossip."
