Chapter 365: The car breaks down

'Gu Zexi?'

Gu Ruochu only glanced at him. Wang Gang called for her to concentrate, and her gaze fell on the monitor. They shot a few scenes before taking a break.

When she looked up, the man had already disappeared.

Gu Ruochu took two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Chu Xinlan. "Have a drink."

"I thought you wanted to have a drink with me."

Chu Xinlan teased as she unscrewed the cap and took a few sips. She then heard Gu Ruochu ask "The man who appeared on set a few moments ago, was he here to see you?"

Gu Ruochu paused for a moment before turning around. However, the man was no longer around. It was as if she had been hallucinating.

"I'm a little curious to know what happened between the two of you. Did you leave Nan Cheng for three years because of him?" Gu Ruochu propped herself up and sat in the director's chair. It was obvious that she was disappointed.

"Yes. Back then, I was quite childish." Chu Xinlan did not even dare to recall the hurtful memories. "Now that I've thought things through, I'm planning to start my life again."

Gu Ruochu did not ask for more details. Gu Zexi's cold and bitter gaze had attracted her attention. It was too sad.

There were many reporters present that day. They had been following Gu Ruochu's movie for a long time. The movie had been edited and would soon be broadcasted on satellite tv before premiering in theatres. The early reviews for the movie were extremely positive.

"Ruochu, after this movie is over, do you still plan on following Wang Gang to take on another movie?"

Wang Gang admired her and wanted to bring her on board for his next project to build his network. The movie would be funded by the Huo Corporation. He planned on making Gu Ruochu the director while he took up the assistant director role.

Huo Nanchen also had the same intention. He could not bear for his wife to continue being an unimportant assistant director. As for Wang Gang, he was willing to promote the younger generation.

"No thanks, I'd like to take a break for a while. Thank you, Director Wang." He did not know what she was planning to do in the future, nor did he know if she would continue to be a director.

"That's a pity."

A few days passed, and the day of the Huo Corporation's cocktail party arrived. The company's cocktail parties had always been grand. Many men of high-status were invited, and it was an opportunity for single women to dress up and show off their talents.

In the past, people had only seen President Huo at the cocktail parties. When news that he had gotten married came out, many single female employees had almost cried their hearts out. However, there were still many rich and handsome men at the party.

At the Huo residence, Gu Ruochu looked at the custom-made dress in the box. There was also a white fox fur shawl in the box, which was just enough to cover the hollowed-out back of the dress. The design of the dress was very sexy.

"How is it? The dress I chose for you looks good, right? It's sexy and generous."

Yang Xi took credit over the phone. Gu Ruochu could only nod. "When are you coming over? Didn't you want to see Jin Ye in person?"

Yang Xi was excited when she heard Jin Ye's name. "My brother doesn't have time today, so I'm driving. I'll be leaving soon."

"All right. I'll wait for you."

After hanging up, Gu Ruochu changed into her dress and put on some makeup before leaving the house.

Yang Xi had finished her preparations and headed out. However, on the way, her car broke down. Unfortunately, her phone's battery also ran out.

Yang Xi was stranded in the middle of the road. She got out of the car and kicked at the car's tires in frustration.

"Miss Yang, do you need my help?"

A familiar voice called out to her. Yang Xi turned around and narrowed her eyes. She could not believe that she had run into him during such a desperate situation.
