991-1000

Chapter 991 Han Wenling

a while later, tang yunrong and some relatives of the tang family, including tang zhiyu and her mother, walked over to chat with gu ning. they were all females.

tang zhiyu and her mother felt quite uneasy facing gu ning and leng shaoting now.

gu ning clearly noticed that tang zhiyu already gave up the idea of stealing leng shaoting away from her, so she didn't show any dislike towards tang zhiyu. since tang zhiyu already gave up, there was no need for gu ning to make an enemy.

they chatted with gu ning for a short while, then walked away.

several young noble ladies came to talk with gu ning too. some of them were very kind, but some kept glancing at leng shaoting.

gu ning felt displeased, but said nothing, because they did nothing, nor did they try to strike up a conversation with leng shaoting. they were attracted to leng shaoting, but they were more afraid of gu ning's family background now.

…

tang haifeng and several seniors left the party halfway, because they needed to have a rest.

after they had left for a short time, an unwanted guest came into the hall. she was a gorgeous woman in her early thirties, and she dressed herself up in quite a noticeable way.

therefore, people couldn't help but glance at her when she showed up, but they didn't know that she actually just came inside. there were hundreds of people in the hall after all.

the woman walked towards tang yunfan, but tang yunfan frowned with dislike the second he saw her.

why is she here?

"chairman tang, why was i not invited to your wedding? it breaks my heart!" the woman said to tang yunfan once she walked near. it sounded like they had a secret relationship with each other.

many people's sight fell on the woman's body, and she deliberately raised her voice when she talked to tang yunfan, so a lot of guests in the hall paid attention to her and tang yunfan now. the next second, they turned to look at gu man to see her reaction.

gu man trusted and loved tang yunfan, so she wasn't suspicious of him and stayed calm.

tang yunfan, however, was worried that gu man might be annoyed. he gave her a glance, then relaxed a little when he saw that she was calm.

gu ning also trusted tang yunfan, and she understood that this woman came here to cause trouble. she wouldn't interfere in it, because it was more suitable to let tang yunfan handle it. however, if the woman dared to annoy gu man, gu ning would teach her a lesson.

"i don't think that you should be invited given the han family's relationship with the tang family," tang yunfan said.

hearing that, the woman wasn't mad at all. "you're right, the tang family has many conflicts with the han family in business, but it shouldn't affect our personal relationship."

many people didn't know the woman's family background until now, and they were all surprised.

the han family was the richest family in city q. although it wasn't as rich as the tang family, there was only a small gap between the two families' wealth and influence.

han wenling was the well-known miss han, who was talented at running businesses in the han family, and she was 34 now.

although han wenling was a woman, she was the sole heiress of the han family. and precisely because of her importance, she was still unmarried.

the han family wouldn't force her to marry a man she didn't love, but she fell in love with a man she shouldn't be in love with. the man was tang yunfan.

it wasn't a secret that han wenling admired tang yunfan and that she had chased him for a long time, but tang yunfan never paid much attention to her.

han wenling and tang yunfan had competed against each other in business many times before, but tang yunfan was always the winner after overcoming difficulties.

in the beginning, han wenling simply regarded tang yunfan as a strong competitor, but she slowly fell in love with him.

han wenling also had many admirers, but she only cared about tang yunfan. to her astonishment, tang yunfan got married at short notice, which was unacceptable in her eyes.

nobody had told her that tang yunfan was going to be married so soon.

she had been abroad a while ago, so she missed the news that tang yunfan had already proposed to gu man.

therefore, it was too late when she flew home once she heard the shocking news that tang yunfan's wedding was held today.

the wedding hadn't begun yet when she arrived at city b, but she needed time to dress herself up because she was reluctant to be less noticeable than the bride.

even though tang yunfan didn't love her, she still had hope that he might change his mind. she was also curious about the woman he married.

when she saw gu man, she had to admit that gu man looked very attractive and gentle. it was obvious that tang yunfan only loved gentle, kind women.

"miss han, please don't say something that might cause misunderstanding here. i don't have a personal relationship with you. if you came here to share our happiness, we're glad to have you, but i'm afraid that you can't stay here if you plan to cause us trouble," tang yunfan said in a cold tone.

Chapter 992 The Heiress of the Han Family

"Chairman Tang, don't be so nervous! Are you afraid that the bride might misunderstand our relationship?" Han Wenling laughed a little. It sounded as if she thought that it was amusing. After that, her sight fell on Gu Man, which made Gu Man feel uneasy, but Han Wenling showed obvious disdain. "The bride is indeed very beautiful, but behaves like a coward."Han Wenling was a strong successful businesswoman, so ordinary people were barely comparable to her.Gu Man was just an ordinary woman, so she felt stressed when facing Han Wenling.

Gu Ning only squinted at Han Wenling, but said nothing.

Tang Yunfan, however, protected Gu Man behind his back without delay, which hurt Han Wenling's feelings.

"Miss Han, my wife is just an ordinary person. She isn't as competitive as you. Since you didn't come here to share the happiness with us, you should leave now," Tang Yunfan said.

He was chasing her away.

In fact, Tang Yunfan did his best to stay polite to Han Wenling. If it hadn't been his wedding day today, he would have been violent.

He only looked gentle and kind towards his family. If anyone else dared to hurt someone he cared about, he could be aggressive and cold-blooded in an instant.

Han Wenling felt quite hurt, but still pretended to be fine on the surface. "Chairman Tang, relax. I'm not going to fight against you. I'm merely curious about what kind of woman you would marry, and I'm surprised to know that your wife is just an ordinary woman."

She still despised Gu Man.

Although Tang Yunfan loved gentle and kind women, Han Wenling despised that kind of woman, and was a strong woman whether it was on the exterior or in the interior. In Han Wenling's eyes, weak women could only rely on men to live their lives.

She didn't think that men were reliable, and believed that women should be independent.

Han Wenling had tried to be a gentle weak woman when she fell in love with a man back in her university. In order to protect the man's self-esteem, she kept her family background secret. However, the man thought that she was too poor to be his girlfriend, and turned to a rich girl.

Once she revealed her real identity, the shameless man came back to her and begged her to forgive him. She obviously wouldn't accept him.

The unpleasant experience left a scar in her heart, and she didn't fall in love again until she met Tang Yunfan.

She didn't fall in love with Tang Yunfan at first glance, but over time. She thought that he was a very outstanding man, and believed that they could be a perfect match.

She was already used to being strong, and hated to please a man by pretending to be weak. She only wanted to attract a man with her own charm and ability.

However, they had competed against each other for nearly five years, but she still failed to get Tang Yunfan to pay more attention to her.

…

"I don't care whether she's successful or not as long as I love her," Tang Yunfan said with determination. Hearing that, Gu Man felt touched, but Han Wenling was hurt again.

"Very well." Han Wenling finally lost control of her emotions. "Tang Yunfan, I'm curious why don't you like me at all? I don't think your bride has any features that are better than me. You know that I'm the heiress of the Han family, and we could be a perfect match!"

Han Wenling couldn't accept the fact that Tang Yunfan didn't choose her even though she was so good and outstanding.

What? The heiress of the Han family?

People around them were all shocked. They had all heard of the Han family, but not many of them were aware that Han Wenling loved Tang Yunfan.

Even if Han Wenling loved Tang Yunfan, it wasn't something that people couldn't understand because Tang Yunfan was handsome and super-rich. However, Han Wenling made an abrupt appearance today, so it was quite shocking.

"Why should I choose you just because you're outstanding?" Tang Yunfan said with impatience. "Miss Han, I think you better leave now on your own, or I'll have to tell those bodyguards to send you out."

If Han Wenling still refused to leave now, he would be violent.

"You…" Han Wenling was heartbroken.

Since Tang Yunfan became violent, there was no need for Han Wenling to stay here any longer.

She was a proud woman, and she could still live her life well even though she couldn't get the man she wanted.

Many of her admirers were also one in a million. She had plenty of good choices.

"Fine, I will leave right now. Tang Yunfan, I admit that I like you, but you aren't the only one I want. I never lack quality men around me!" Han Wenling said, then turned around striding away.

Although it seemed like she didn't care about it at all, she wouldn't have come here if she really didn't care about it.

Han Wenling didn't lack quality men, but she didn't have a man she really loved.

…

Han Wenling wasn't invited, but was still able to get in here without anyone stopping her.

Tang Yunfan understood she must have gotten in here with the help of an invited guest in the hall, but he didn't bother to investigate it since she already left.

Chapter 993 A Warning

"i'm sorry, everyone. please continue to enjoy yourself, and i hope you're not affected by this brief interlude," tang yunfan said to the guests in the hall.

"it's fine."

all the guests showed that they didn't mind it and kept on drinking and chatting with each other.

when han wenling walked out, gu ning followed her.

"ningning." tang yunfan wanted to stop her, but leng shaoting interrupted him, "mr. tang, it's fine. ningning knows what she's doing."

tang yunfan also understood that gu ning only did it to protect her mother, so he could only hope that it did not cause more trouble.

…

"please wait a second, miss han."

han wenling heard a girl calling her from behind when she just reached the door of the hotel.

han wenling stopped at once and composed herself. she turned and saw a beautiful young girl walking towards her.

although the girl didn't look aggressive at all, han wenling had a feeling that she wasn't a friend.

"may i help?" han wenling asked with pride.

"yeah, can we have a talk?" gu ning said.

han wenling left without causing more trouble, but gu ning was still worried that she might do something to hurt gu man in the future.

she wasn't familiar with han wenling, so she thought that it was necessary for her to warn han wenling to stay away from gu man.

"who are you? why should i talk to you?" han wenling said and she was a little rude because she was in a terrible mood now.

gu ning didn't mind it, but said, "my name's gu ning, and i'm tang yunfan's biological daughter. today is my parents' wedding day."

"what? you're tang yunfan's biological daughter?" han wenling was shocked.

she couldn't believe that tang yunfan already had a daughter.

she thought that tang yunfan had never married before so it was impossible for him to have a daughter!

is this girl a love child? han wenling thought to herself.

"can i talk to you right now?" gu ning asked again when han wenling wore an absent look.

"oh, sure," han wenling said.

"well, please forgive me if i'm a little aggressive because we're merely strangers now. no matter how you feel about my father, don't do anything to hurt my mother," gu ning said without hesitation. when she said that, she released her magical power on purpose to make han wenling feel stressed in case han wenling didn't think about her words seriously.

although han wenling was also an outstanding strong woman, she was still amazed by gu ning's air of power. to her surprise, this young girl could be so powerful at such an early age!

han wenling understood that gu ning was protecting her mother, but she was displeased at gu ning's warning because she didn't have the thought to hurt gu ning's mother at all. "what are you thinking? i'm not the kind of person who plays dirty tricks to get what they want."

"glad to hear that." gu ning didn't believe han wenling's words immediately, but from her attitude it seemed like she really didn't plan to hurt gu man.

no matter what, gu ning had already warned her to stay away from gu man. if she dared to hurt gu man in the future, gu ning would teach her a lesson.

it wasn't a nice conversation, but both of them appreciated each other's air of power.

"oh, miss han, i noticed the scar on your wrist," gu ning said all of a sudden.

hearing that, han wenling was struck dumb for a second, and subconsciously hid her hand. she was surprised that gu ning found the scar on her wrist. she thought the bracelet could hide it well.

she didn't cut herself, but it was caused by a fight when she was young. she was badly injured back then, so the wound left a scar. although she didn't care much about it, she still hoped to remove it if it was possible.

gu ning continued, "miss han, if you want to remove it, i strongly recommend colaine to you. it has a type of ointment which is very effective for all kinds of scars. if you don't believe me, you can search the brand on the internet to find out more about it."

gu ning did that not only out of kindness, but because she hoped that it could reduce han wenling's hatred towards gu man.

han wenling's eyes lit up at once. she was willing to try if it was really that effective.

"miss han, i do hope you can find a man who loves you and who you also want to spend the rest of your life with," gu ning said at the end, then walked back to the hall.

han wenling moved her lips, but said nothing.

she wasn't stupid, and she understood that gu ning did it for gu man, but she didn't hate gu ning's behavior.

in fact, if the ointment gu ning recommended to her was really effective, she would also be grateful to gu ning. she had tried many ointments before, but they didn't work well.

han wenling held doubts about gu ning's advice.

when she turned to walk out of the hotel, an idea dawned on her.

wait a moment, what's her name again? gu ning!

han wenling suddenly felt like the name sounded very familiar and gu ning also looked quite familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen gu ning before.

"oh, isn't the girl goddess gu?"

Chapter 994 The Movie Is in Theaters Now

at this moment, an excited female voice sounded and reminded han wenling who gu ning was.

gu ning was precisely goddess gu, the well-known, talented girl and popular idol on the internet.

han wenling had heard a lot about gu ning, and she also admired gu ning's outstanding ability.

ever since han wenling was a little girl, she was always the most outstanding one among her peers. unexpectedly, gu ning surpassed her. most importantly, gu ning was also tang yunfan's biological daughter!

thinking of that, han wenling felt a little relieved, but it still took time for her to move on.

although she was curious about the fact that tang yunfan already had a biological daughter, she didn't want to waste her time on gossiping.

without hesitation, han wenling left the hotel.

…

"the girl is indeed goddess gu!"

"she's so beautiful!"

"i'm so regretful that i didn't take photos with her."

…

when gu ning was back in the hall, leng shaoting walked towards her at once. "how was it?"

"she said that she isn't the kind of person who plays dirty tricks to get what they want," gu ning said.

"since she's the heiress of the han family, i think she won't do anything that hurts the han family's benefits. the tang family isn't as influential as the tang family after all," leng shaoting said to comfort gu ning.

gu ning had the same idea.

tang yunfan understood that gu ning could solve the problem well, so he didn't ask gu ning about it when she got back.

if han wenling really was going to do something to hurt gu man, tang yunfan was also able to stop her.

…

the moment han wenling got in her car, she took out her phone to search for information on colaine. she read countless positive comments on it, which surprised her.

han wenling thought that she should probably try it.

without further ado, han wenling told her chauffeur to drive her to buy the ointment produced by colaine.

however, they went to several pharmacies, but the ointment produced by colaine was all out of stock. it was too popular, so it was soon sold out.

it took days for the pharmaceutical factory to produce more products, so she had to wait for a couple of days.

han wenling was surprised again by its popularity, and even had the idea to cooperate with colaine.

what she didn't know was that the owner of colaine was gu ning, and she might be disappointed if she knew that gu ning wouldn't cooperate with her.

han wenling went to the largest pharmacy in the city afterwards, and finally bought the ointment. once she applied it to the scar on her wrist, she felt quite comfortable.

she hoped that it would work this time.

…

in the end jiang yutong got a chance to approach tang jiayang when he walked out of the men's room.

"hi, jiayang!"

jiang yutong went to the ladies' room as well when tang jiayang left for the men's room so that it would seem to be a coincidence when she saw him outside.

tang jiayang knew it clearly, but couldn't say anything about it.

"hi," tang jiayang said, then walked away at once.

however, jiang yutong wouldn't let him leave alone, and followed him up without delay. "jiayang, when will you go back to country y?"

"in a few days," tang jiayang said.

it was true that tang jiayang would fly back to country y in a few days, because he still needed to finish his education and he also missed his girlfriend after being apart from her for nearly two months.

"why do you have to go back so soon?" jiang yutong raised her voice. "jiayang, can i visit you there during your vacation? i haven't been to country y before."

tang jiayang frowned. "i'm sorry, i'm very busy during vacation and i'm about to graduate from my university, so i need to prepare for my internship."

tang jiayang was rejecting her. jiang yutong understood that, and felt sad, but she didn't insist, in case tang jiayang had a bad impression of her.

"yutong, why don't you go back to your parent's side, or go chat with jiamin? i'm sorry but i've gotta go," tang jiayang said and left jiang jiamin behind.

although jiang yutong was a little annoyed and very disappointed, she could do nothing about it, and watched tang jiayang walking away.

…

as the party came to an end, people were leaving.

"hey, boss, are you free tonight? why don't you hang out with us?" pan zirui asked gu ning.

they hadn't gathered together for a long time after all.

"you can go enjoy yourself. i need to deal with something else," gu ning said.

"fine, see you next time!" pan zirui said and left with his friends.

"are you going back to the tang family's house?" cao wenxin asked her.

"nope, we're going to watch a film. will you go with us?" gu ning asked.

she planned to watch a film with her friends.

infinite horror was in theaters now, and gu ning had to watch it in a theater herself.

many people already had watched the films, and left many positive comments on it.

the box office of the movie premiere wasn't huge, but wasn't bad either. it was very likely that it could attract more people to watch it in theaters.

people who had already watched infinite horror all approved of it, which aroused more people's interest in it.

Chapter 995 Tang Jiakai"s Warning

some people said that infinite horror was too scary and they almost peed. in addition, the story was very attractive too, which was rare to see among domestic movies.

the editing of infinite horror was of high quality too, and it was highly possible for it to be a blockbuster.

even though the movie was super scary, many people still said that they were willing to watch it twice in theaters.

as the movie became popular on the internet, more and more people bought tickets and looked forward to watching it.

some had even recorded several parts of the movie with their phones and posted them on weibo, which attracted more people's attention.

in that case, the movie tickets today were all booked.

however, the tang family owned a famous theater, so gu ning turned to tang yunfan for help, and the theater arranged a vip screening room for them at once.

the vip screening room was empty most of the time, because it was usually occupied by those rich second-generation heirs for dates or proposals.

"movie? what movie?" cao wenxin was curious. "why do you have to go to watch a movie with so many people?" in cao wenxin's eyes, they should go to a bar to have fun together.

"infinite horror. it's already in theaters now. we can have some fun together after watching it," gu ning said.

the movie was about 90 minutes long, and they could drive to fengshang shopping mall.

when the movie was over, it would be 9:30 pm at the latest, which was still early.

they always enjoyed going out after 10 pm.

"oh," cao wenxin said, "i'll join you! it's the first film produced by your company after all, and i must be supportive."

hearing that, cao wenxin's friends all said that they would go with them.

"what kind of film is it?" gao chengyun asked.

"horror film," cao wenxin said.

"is it really scary?" jiang zezheng stiffened in fear.

zhu yuanzhen rolled her eyes at jiang zezheng. "come on, be a man!"

"what if your future girlfriend wants to watch a horror film and ask you to protect her?" an ran said.

the others all laughed, but jiang zezheng was displeased and complained, "why can't men be afraid of horror films? i'm not the only man who's scared of horror films in this world."

"you're a coward!" zhu yuanzhen laughed.

in fact, they had no idea how scary infinite horror was. if they had known that, they wouldn't have made fun of jiang zezheng.

…

when the guests were almost gone, jiang yutong approached tang jiayang again. tang jiayang's friends had also left in their cars, and only tang jiakai stood by his side now.

"jiayang, why don't we go to watch a film together? i heard that there is a good horror film which is in theaters today," jiang yutong said and acted like a 3-year-old girl, but it didn't work in front of tang jiayang.

the good horror film jiang yutong wanted to watch was actually infinite horror.

"thanks, but we need to deal with something else," tang jiayang said.

actually, tang jiayang was losing his patience, but he had to curb his anger.

tang jiakai, however, couldn't stand it anymore. "jiang yutong, can't you keep away from my older brother? if you want to watch the film, go watch it yourself. my older brother isn't single and he already has a girlfriend. you should be aware of that!"

"you…" jiang yutong felt hurt and aggrieved.

"what? stop pretending in front of us. we aren't idiots. if you dare to keep annoying my older brother, i promise that i'll get back at your family," tang jiakai said in a threatening tone.

jiang yutong was mad, but didn't dare to argue against tang jiakai.

tang jiakai had always known about jiang yutong's affection towards tang jiayang, but he had never warned her before. on the contrary, he had even enjoyed it when tang jiayang had to reject jiang yutong again and again. however, he had to stand out to chase jiang yutong away now.

without hesitation, tang jiakai pulled tang jiayang and walked away.

…

jiang jiamin who stood not too far away walked to jiang yutong at this moment. she got another chance to laugh at jiang yutong today.

jiang jiamin wasn't a troublemaker, but she loved to make fun of jiang yutong, who was an enemy in her eyes.

"do you still want to watch a film with your older cousin? shouldn't you do that with your boyfriend?" jiang jiamin mocked.

"leave me alone!" jiang yutong vented her anger at jiang jiamin.

even though she knew that it was meaningless, she couldn't help but approach tang jiayang once she saw him. it wasn't easy for her to meet tang jiayang, so she would seize every minute when they did meet.

"why?"jiang jiamin sneered, then became serious. "didn't you hear? jiakai warned you to keep away from jiayang. don't cause any trouble for the jiang family and make me be punished for your stupid mistake!"

jiang jiamin was unwilling to mess with the brothers.

Chapter 996 I"ll Be with You

jiang jiamin didn't care about jiang yutong at all, and she was unwilling to get involved in trouble because of jiang yutong.

"you…" jiang yutong was furious, but didn't know how to argue back.

…

tang jiayang and tang jiakai walked to gu ning and her friends afterwards, and asked them what they planned to do next. they were still young and didn't want to go to sleep so early.

gu ning said that they planned to watch a film together first before they went to have fun later.

"why do you all want to watch a film?" tang jiayang had no interest in movies.

cao wenxin knocked her arm against him and said, "it's the first film produced by ningning's company!"

"oh!" tang jiayang realized that gu ning had indeed made a film a while ago, but he didn't know that it was already in theaters today. since he found out now, he had to join them.

"i'll go with you," tang jiayang said.

"me too!" tang jiakai got interested. he had read many positive comments on infinite horror, so he was also curious about it.

in addition, gu ning was now a member of their family, and they should be supportive.

gu ning and the others went to change their clothes before they left for the theater.

on the way to the theater, hao ran and the others read many comments about infinite horror on the internet. they felt happy that people liked it.

"infinite horror is really scary. i almost peed!"

"me too! i thought that i was going to have a heart attack!"

"don't watch it if you don't have a strong heart."

"really?"

"be prepared for it before you walk into the theater."

"i'm already scared now!"

"i just watched it with my boyfriend, and he carried me home on his back afterwards because i was too scared to stand still."

"ha-ha, ha-ha."

many internet users were amused by that comment.

"thank you so much, fenghua entertainment and goddess gu, for producing such a great film! i went to watch it with a girl i've admired from afar for a long time. she was too scared and threw herself into my arms. we're boyfriend and girlfriend now! lol."

it was another amusing comment.

"congratulations!"

"i want to get a girlfriend in the same way, but i wonder whether the girl will throw herself into my arms too."

"try it yourself, and you'll find out."

"ha-ha, ha-ha."

…

hao ran and the others laughed loudly in their car when they read the above comments.

"jesus, if it's really so scary, i don't think i have the courage to watch it," yu mixi said.

"it's fine. we're all with you. if you feel scared, you can cover your ears and eyes," mu ke said to comfort her.

in fact, mu ke wanted to say that he would be with her, but he felt too shy to say that.

for now, mu ke and yu mixi were in an unclear relationship. mu ke still took special care of yu mixi, but hadn't told her about his real feelings towards her yet.

however, even though he didn't say it aloud, yu mixi could feel it. she was happy about it, but also chose to keep quiet because the national college entrance examination was just around the corner.

they had a tacit agreement that they would talk about it after the examination.

hao ran and the others also left them some space.

…

when gu ning read those comments, she was also satisfied with the film's quality and influence.

it was the first film produced by her entertainment company, and it was a great success.

many internet users also @ (mentioned) her on weibo and left positive remarks on the film.

although gu ning wasn't cast in the film, she was the investor, so many people also compliment her.

as the film became popular, those major actors in it gained a lot of fame too. all of them were skilled actors, so the audience had a good impression of them.

when good actors met suitable roles, it was very easy for them to attract people's attention. some actors might be very good-looking and rely on publicity stunts to get publicity, but it wouldn't last long.

besides, people wouldn't have a good impression of them, which was harmful for their career in the future.

the major actors in infinite horror, on the other hand, were unwilling to do publicity stunts. they had even fought against unspoken rules in the industry.

Chapter 997 Fake Box Office?

the entertainment companies that bai lin and han lengxuan worked for had almost abandoned them, and they could only be supporting actors in shows.

without many chances to show their faces, the audience would soon forget them.

however, once infinite horror became popular, bai lin and han lengxuan both won fame, and their agents didn't dare to ignore them again.

agents were all experienced in this industry. although a film wasn't enough to make bai lin and han lengxuan a-list actors, they still had a bright future ahead.

as long as they could keep on gaining people's attention, the entertainment companies they worked for would take them seriously.

…

su tongnuo had greater popularity than bai lin and han lengxuan because she had become the spokesperson of charm and jade beauty jewelry before the film was in theaters. her role in the film also attracted a lot of attention.

both bai lin and han lengxuan were envious of su tongnuo's good luck. she was signed by gu ning, which was the start of her successful career.

all the people who worked in the entertainment industry ached to gain fame, but they had their own boundaries and wouldn't sell their bodies or souls for it.

unfortunately, it was much more complicated than they could think to work in this industry. without powerful connections, there were only a few people who could become famous by relying on themselves.

fenghua entertainment was a great opportunity that they couldn't miss right now.

they planned to end the agreement they had with the entertainment companies they were working for now before they joined gu ning's company.

they understood that gu ning had high standards for actors, so they had talked about it with gu ning beforehand.

although they asked gu ning whether they could join her company in a way which sounded as if they were joking, gu ning agreed with a serious expression.

gu ning approved of them. it was lu zhan who had recommended them to act in her first film, and she thought that they had done a great job.

since they were both good actors, there was no reason for gu ning to turn them down.

bai lin and han lengxuan were excited that gu ning was willing to sign them, and they promised to work harder.

the competition was super fierce in the entertainment industry after all. if they didn't work harder to keep people paying attention to them, they would soon be replaced.

…

bai lin's agreement with the entertainment company that he was working for now would end after half a year, while han lengxuan needed to wait for a whole year.

before their agreements ended, they had to do their work as usual. their agents would also be responsible for their schedules too.

as leading roles in the films, they had all gathered together to watch it in a theater yesterday, and they were very satisfied with its effect.

many theaters were much more crowded than normal these days, and most of the people came to watch infinite horror.

the box office of infinite horror was still growing. it seemed to be the most popular film during this period.

because of infinite horror, fewer people went to watch other films which were also in theaters now, and other film producers all got jealous of it. especially when they read countless positive comments on infinite horror, they couldn't wait to demolish them.

since their films weren't profitable under the influence of infinite horror, they figured out a way to change the situation.

before long, articles about the fake box office of infinite horror went viral on the internet.

within minutes, it caused a great sensation.

some people believed that the box office of infinite horror wasn't real, while some chose to believe that it was real.

it was hard to tell whether the box office of a film was real or not, because it was one of the unspoken rules in the industry that a new film needed a big box office at its premiere.

a new film needed attention and the audience also needed a guide. if people noticed the big box office of a new film, they might be interested in it and buy a ticket for it. sometimes, a new film could be very good but there weren't many people who bought tickets to watch it in theaters because it failed to attract people's attention.

it wasn't uncommon that a new film was very terrible and deceived people into buying tickets with its fake box office, but it would also bring itself negative comments and criticisms afterwards.

therefore, it was understandable that some people were suspicious of the box office of infinite horror, because its box office was too good to be real. in addition, its box office was still increasing steadily.

those who had watched infinite horror all agreed that it was a great film, so they thought that its box office should be real. moreover, there were barely any vacant seats in screening rooms where infinite horror was played.

many people who had watched infinite horror in theaters posted photos of their film tickets to prove that its box office was real.

"i don't think its box office is fake, because it is indeed a great film."

"i went to watch it with many of my friends, and we all liked it."

the majority of the internet users refused to believe those articles which claimed that the box office of infinite horror was fake. it was obvious that some people were defaming infinite horror.

not everyone would believe those articles, but some still did.

Chapter 998 Meet in a Theater

"i think it's just slander. as far as i know, the film tickets of infinite horror are already sold out the past two days."

"right, infinite horror is a great film, and i'm going to watch it again."

"infinite horror is a film worth waiting for."

"many film critics also give infinite horror good reviews, and said that it could be the best horror film till now."

"i'm curious about the editor of infinite horror. does anyone know his name?"

"i'm a fan of infinite horror too!"

"me too!"

"many theaters are fully occupied because of infinite horror the past two days in city b."

"same thing in the capital!"

although infinite horror was the only one which was played in theaters from this morning, there were many other films in theaters too during this time.

it was difficult to change the schedule of films in theaters, so fans of infinite horror had to wait if the film tickets were already sold out these two days.

sometimes, if a new film wasn't popular at all, theaters might remove it from the schedule.

"i wish that there could be more show times!"

"…"

facing so many internet users' defense of infinite horror, many people who were suspicious of its box office got curious.

in that case, more and more people went to buy film tickets for it, which made those rumor-mongers even more jealous of it.

people who worked in the film industry were also interested in infinite horror.

after watching it, they were impressed by it too, and had to admit that it was indeed of a high level. the editing and special effects of the film were quite attractive.

people began to discuss which skilled team or person was in charge of the editing of the film.

they had never heard of mu ye, and thought that it was unbelievable that he was able to finish the editing all on his own.

no matter what, they didn't dare to defame infinite horror again, but it wouldn't stop them being jealous of it.

besides, the real box office of infinite horror was even higher than the fake box office of their films.

they failed to sell many film tickets for their films, so it was difficult for them to make a fake box office.

…

gu ning and the others walked into a theater together, and they easily attracted a lot of attention from people around them.

many people soon recognized gu ning.

"wow, isn't she goddess gu?"

"really? where?"

"oh, she's so pretty!"

"i think she's even prettier than in her photos!"

"hi, goddess gu!"

people in the theater got excited at once, and took out their phones to record. it seemed as if a celebrity was here.

it was basically the same, because gu ning was as famous as a famous celebrity now, and she also had a large amount of loyal fans.

someone wanted to take photos with gu ning, but there were many people around her, so she didn't dare to come close.

gu ning smiled at them when people called her name.

"look, the man by goddess gu's side is so handsome!"

"jesus, he's the most handsome man i've ever seen."

"is he goddess gu's boyfriend?"

"i think so."

"oh, goddess gu's friends are also good-looking."

"hey, aren't they the brothers of the tang family?"

"what tang family?"

"the number one super-rich tang family in city b."

"what? they must be super-rich heirs!"

"exactly!"

"······"

gu ning and the others entered the vip screening room later. once they were gone, many people posted photos of them onto the internet.

the vip screening room wasn't as large as common screening rooms, but it was big enough for them.

when the film began, gu ning took a picture and sent out a post on weibo.

gu ning: it's been a busy day today, and i didn't have time to watch it until now. [photo attached]

the photo showed that she was watching infinite horror.

once the post was sent out, many people reposted, liked and left comments under it.

many people asked gu ning which theater she was in right now, and gu ning told them she was in fengshang shopping mall.

however, those who were also in fengshang shopping mall said that infinite horror hadn't begun yet.

Chapter 999 Have a Premonition Again

some asked gu ning which screening room she was right now, but gu ning kept it a secret, which disappointed her fans. her fans felt sad that they couldn't meet gu ning in real life, but gu ning didn't care about that.

those who had taken pictures of gu ning in the theater, on the other hand, felt proud and satisfied. they all complimented gu ning's beauty and her friends' outstanding appearances.

…

gu ning muted her phone, and focused on the film.

the moment the film began, the screening room was covered in a scary atmosphere.

"jesus, i can't breathe," jiang zezheng said all of a sudden, but his friends all rolled their eyes at him because the film just began. although they had the same feeling, none of them said it aloud.

jiang zezheng felt a little aggrieved. he really wasn't a fan of horror films. nevertheless, he understood that he shouldn't say that right now, so he closed his mouth.

a few minutes later, most of them felt scared, but none of them dared to admit it.

although it was a horror film, it wasn't scary from the first second till the last second. however, it was quite frightening during the scary moments.

jiang zezheng did his best not to make a sound, but the others lost control of their emotions, especially the girls.

except for gu ning, leng shaoting and xin bei, the rest of them were scared by the film.

zhu yuanzhen and an ran were terrified by it, and their faces turned pale. cao wenxin and chu peihan were able to stay calm, but su anya and yu mixi were trembling in fear.

su anya sat by yu mixi's left side, and they subconsciously caught each other's hand tight. gu ning sat by yu mixi's right side, so she secretly put her magical power into yu mixi's body by holding her hand, and the magical power also went into su anya's body.

with the help of gu ning's magical power, both su anya and yu mixi gradually calmed down. nevertheless, it still took them a long while to get back to normal.

"sh*t, it's so scary!" hao ran raised his voice all of a sudden. "how come i didn't notice it when i was acting in the film?"

"idiot, it's scary with the music after editing," chu peihan said and rolled her eyes at hao ran.

most films relied on music and special effects to be effective.

"i thought that it's just a normal horror film, but it's much scarier than i thought it could be," an ran said in a trembling voice.

"who said that i'm a coward before we watched the film?" jiang zezheng laughed at them.

the others wanted to argue against him, but didn't know how. they really weren't mentally-prepared for this film.

zhu yuanzhen also remained silent, because she was also scared by it.

"i agree that people who have heart disease shouldn��t watch this film," gao chengyun said. this film was the most horrifying film he had ever seen.

"ningning, the post-production team of your company is really good! i think that even the team of our family's company couldn't be as good as yours," tang jiayang said.

the post-production team of the tang family's entertainment company also enjoyed great fame worldwide, but tang jiayang didn't think that they could be as skilled as gu ning's team.

if gu ning had hired the post-production of tang family's entertainment company to help her, this film wouldn't have been this attractive.

the tang family didn't focus too much on the entertainment industry, so its entertainment company wasn't the best in the industry.

…

the tang family was involved in many industries, but it wasn't the leading force in every industry. it mainly focused on real estate, hotels and shopping malls.

"it wasn't done by a team, but a person," gu ning said.

"what? a person?"

hearing that, everyone was shocked.

it was a complicated project to edit a film well. normally, a team of a dozen people had to cooperate with each other to finish it.

the post-production of infinite horror was nearly perfect, so it was very hard for them to believe that a single person could handle it well.

"yes," gu ning said with certainty.

"he must be a genius!" her friends said.

no matter how curious they were, gu ning wouldn't tell them more details about the person.

"where should we go next?" cao wenxin asked.

"where do you want to go next?" gu ning asked hao ran and the others.

"why don't you make the decision?" hao ran said.

"well, we can go to a bar, clubhouse or rent a pleasure boat to have fun tonight," tang jiakai said.

hearing the words pleasure boat, a picture flashed in gu ning's eyes all of a sudden. she saw a young girl walking into the washroom of a pleasure boat that did not have many people on it, but a middle-aged man followed her and covered her mouth suddenly.

Chapter 1000 Meet the Man of the Evil Practice Again

without further thought, gu ning knew what would happen next, because she recognized the middle-aged man. he was a member of the evil practice.

she abruptly stood up, which surprised everyone else around her. "ningning, what's wrong?" leng shaoting asked her.

"oh, i suddenly remember that there is something i should deal with right now. shaoting, why don't you come with me, and the others can enjoy themselves in the meantime," gu ning said, but didn't tell them details.

"oh, right."

since gu ning needed to deal with something urgent, they wouldn't stop her.

afterwards, gu ning and leng shaoting left together in a hurry.

on the way to the parking lot, gu ning called quan mingkai and told him to prepare a private pleasure boat for her at wharf no.3. she was going to have a river tour.

quan mingkai did what she told him to do without delay.

leng shaoting drove to wharf no.3 by the river as fast as possible. he didn't ask gu ning why, because he knew that gu ning would tell him the reason when it was necessary.

gu ning didn't want to waste time on explaining it, so she remained silent. if leng shaoting asked her, she would probably have to lie to him again.

around a dozen minutes later, they arrived at wharf no.3.

after stopping the car, they strode towards the entrance.

it wasn't early now, so all the pleasure boats had to come back within half an hour, so only one left on the river a distance away.

quan mingkai had arranged a man to serve gu ning when she arrived, so she called him the moment she got out of the car.

the man was already waiting for her at the entrance. the second he saw gu ning coming, he walked towards her.

since it was quan mingkai's order, he was very polite to gu ning.

as an ace soldier in the special forces, it was super easy for leng shaoting to sail a boat.

at this moment, there were only four or five pleasure boats on the river, and gu ning found her target within seconds, then told leng shaoting to sail towards it.

they were in a private pleasure boat, which was comparatively smaller and moved faster.

gu ning walked out of the cabin, and stood by the ship side. she used her jade eyes and focused on the target boat.

they were about five hundred meters away from it, so gu ning couldn't see it very clearly, but she noticed the jiao swimming under it.

it was obvious that the jiao smelt the man of the evil practice, so it followed under the boat along the way.

the jiao was also evil, so it could absorb the yin from the man of the evil practice, which was also good for its inner discipline. however, the jiao remembered gu ning's words, and stayed quiet in case it caused any damages to innocent people.

since gu ning was already here, she was unwilling to see the young girl hurt by the man of the evil practice. she released some of her magical power to attract the man's attention.

she was calling the jiao at the same time.

nevertheless, because of the long distance between them, they didn't sense her magical power right away.

when the two pleasure boats were close, gu ning was able to clearly see the inside of the target boat. she found the man of the evil practice fixing his eyes on the young girl, and saw that the young girl was about to leave for the washroom.

right at this time, both the man and the jiao sensed gu ning's magical power.

the man was surprised, but seemed displeased.

although gu ning was his target too, she wasn't weak at all. it was hard for him to get her. he wasn't afraid to meet gu ning, but not now.

it took him a long time to find a virgin girl who was born in the lunar year, and he was ready to absorb her blood. he hated to miss this great chance again. unfortunately, gu ning appeared once more.

the man thought that gu ning might stop him if he approached the young girl.

gu ning was better than him at fighting. if she really attacked him when he wasn't prepared, it was likely that he would be injured or caught. he was unwilling to be caught, so he decided to let the young girl go.

actually, he was quite angry that gu ning showed up at this key moment.

he found a place to hide himself afterwards, and looked out to the direction of the magical power, but he failed to see anyone on the oncoming pleasure boat.

gu ning squatted on the deck so that the man couldn't see her.

she squatted down because the jiao swam over following the magical power.

it was a private pleasure boat, so the edge wasn't far from the surface of the water.

gu ning reached out her hand into the water. when the jiao touched her fingers, it was put into the telepathic eye space.

the man found gu ning once she stood up again, and he was sure that gu ning was the girl covered in magical power at a glance.

gu ning didn't avoid his eyes, but stared straight at him on purpose. she intended to let him know that she was watching him, in case he hurt the innocent girl.

the man was struck dumb for a second, and then realized that gu ning came here because of him.

since gu ning already found him, he didn't bother to hide any longer and walked out to face gu ning.

what should he do now? the man had no idea.

if he fought against gu ning face to face, he wasn't confident that he could win, but it was impossible that she would let him get away with it either.
