Chapter 41: Joined forces

Jiang Baiwan blinked, but did not react for a while: "...who?"
"Shui Lan'er," Luo Xiao repeated, "I remember she seems to have debuted recently, right? She is quite famous on the Internet, but she seems to love to cry."
"It's more than just crying a little bit," Jiang Baiwan muttered to himself, "but how old is Gu Dongcheng this year? How can he like Shuilaner? Is this age gap a bit big?"
Luo Xiao looked at her speechlessly: "Is this the point?"
Jiang Baiwan seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret: "I'm going...Gu Dongcheng is not only a scumbag, but also a loicn?"
Luo Xiao sighed: "It seems that when Shui Lan'er went to school, Gu Dongcheng had already secretly crushed her? I don't know this. Anyway, it's hearsay, you just listen to it, don't take it seriously."
Jiang Baiwan sat there thinking about it for a while, and finally said solemnly: "Luo Xiao, you promise me that if you have any gossip next time, you must tell me."
Luo Xiao couldn't help holding his forehead: "...I said it was gossip that I heard, don't take it seriously."
"It's okay, no one of the parties is here anyway. They can't hear it." Jiang Baiwan didn't take this matter seriously. She squeezed her eyes at Luo Xiao again, "Hey, you said Chu Yunhan knows this. Something? Will Gu Dongcheng go to Shui Lan'er these past two days?"
Luo Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, he pursed his lips, and showed a light smile: "Who knows."

During this time, Shui Laner has been busy with work. Chu Yunhan arranged a lot of good resources for her, but Shui Lan'er tried hard to persevere, but she was also a lot thinner.
Today, Shui Laner has a magazine cover to be photographed. While sitting in the dressing room in the backstage, Shui Lan'er looked at herself in the mirror, but there was a faint sadness between her brows.
The assistant on one side looked at Shui Lan'er's face from the mirror and couldn't help asking: "Sister Lan'er, what's wrong with you? It seems a little unhappy?"
"...It's nothing," Shui Lan'er sighed softly, "I just saw the recent situation of an old friend of mine. He seems to be in trouble. I am a little worried about him."
The assistant has been following Shu Lan'er for a while, and she knows what Shu Lan'er is in general. After hearing her say this, the little assistant couldn't help his scalp numb: "Sister Lan'er, don't worry, people always have to experience some setbacks in the world, he must be fine."
Shui Lan'er turned her head and looked at the little assistant. In her and white eyes, tears were already faintly flickering: "You don't know how proud he is. This person's pride is suddenly here. One day was ruined, and he definitely couldn't accept it."
"I just feel that I can't help now, which makes me really..." Shui Lan'er still shed tears after all, "I feel a little sad in my heart, really, just a little sad."
With that, Shui Lan'er showed a strong smile at the assistant, but her eyes were still red, and tears hung on the sides of her cheeks, which was quite pitiful.
It's just that during this period of time, the little assistant has really become accustomed to watching Shui Lan'er cry. At first, it was amazing, but now it feels nothing, and even feels some brain pain. She persuaded, "Sister Lan'er, I'm going to take pictures soon, so don't cry, your eyes are swollen and look bad."
Under the persuasion of the assistant, Shui Lan'er slowly stopped her tears. It's just that her expression still looks a little frustrated, Shui Lan'er sighed faintly, and said to the assistant: "You go out, I want to stay by myself for a while."
The little assistant couldn't, and could only go out alone, staying in the dressing room with Shulaner, still looking at the mirror alone, as if in a trance.
Shui Lan'er has also seen news about Gu Dongcheng in the news in the past two days. Of course, she still remembers the big brother who had pursued her back then, but she didn't know why, Gu Dongcheng would suddenly fall into such a situation.
"Big brother," Shui Lan'er took out the phone and called out the picture of Gu Dongcheng hidden deep in the phone, "Where are you... now...?"
"Do you care about me so much?" Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind Shui Lan'er. Shui Lan'er was startled. She turned her head abruptly and saw Gu Dongcheng standing at the door with no expression on her face. Looked at her.
Shui Lan'er exclaimed in surprise: "Big brother! How did you know that I am here? How are you doing this time? If you have any difficulties, you must tell me, and Yun Han and I will help you."
Originally, when Gu Dongcheng heard Shui Lan'er's words, the expression on his face was still milder, but after hearing Shui Lan'er mention Chu Yunhan, Gu Dongcheng's expression suddenly became hardened again. He didn't answer Shui Lan'er's words, but walked in front of her step by step, and finally squatted down, looking up at Shui Lan'er.
He muttered to himself: "Lan'er, do you know? I will become what I am now because of you."
Shui Lan'er suspected that there was a problem with her ears. She widened her eyes and looked at Gu Dongcheng in front of her: "What? Big brother, what are you talking about, I don't understand."
"...It's nothing," Gu Dongcheng looked into Shui Lan'er's eyes, but the violence in his heart slowly suppressed-his Lan'er is so beautiful, how could he have thoughts like just now?
Gu Dongcheng has lost everything these days. He even lived in a mansion not long ago, but now he has become a homeless man. He still wears the same clothes he wore when he was driven away, his face is covered with sparse stubble, and he looks very desolate.
"I just want to see you," Gu Dongcheng sighed lightly, "Lan'er, take care of yourself, I'm leaving." After speaking, Gu Dongcheng stood up, Shui Lan'er bit his lip and looked at him. When Gu Dongcheng was about to walk out of the dressing room, Shui Lan'er called out to stop him: "Brother, wait a minute."
Gu Dongcheng had a meal at his feet, he turned his head and looked at Shui Lan'er: "Anything else?"
Shui Lan'er stood up and walked a few steps in front of Gu Dongcheng. She hesitated, and finally said to him: "Big brother, you can stay here. I know you have been working hard recently, and I have nothing to help you. Yes, but I will take you in for a while, no problem."
Gu Dongcheng's eyes slowly brightened, and a little smile appeared on his face: "Then...I will thank you first."
Shui Lan'er smiled sweetly: "It's nothing, big brother, don't worry, I am here!"
At the same time, Jiang Baiwan, who was sitting at home, didn't know why he shuddered suddenly. She touched her nose subconsciously, and couldn't help muttering: "Why is there a sudden chill... as if something bad has happened."
"Did you listen to me?" Han Ling sat opposite her, knocking on the table dissatisfiedly, "Please respect me, don't be distracted at this time, OK?"
Jiang Baiwan quickly recovered, she smiled embarrassedly: "Uh...what did you just say to me?"
Han Ling has become accustomed to what Jiang Baiwan looks like. He sighed helplessly: "We are talking about Tan Mi's web drama, do you remember?"
Jiang Baiwan nodded: "Remember, what's the matter? Bad ratings?"
"On the contrary, the ratings are surprisingly good," Han Ling was also surprised by this situation, "So... there is a network comprehensive wanting to ask you to record a program, and the notice has been sent to the company."
Jiang Baiwan looked at the information Han Ling handed over and was a little entangled: "Did I tell you before that I don't want to enter the entertainment industry?"
Han Ling nodded and said simply: "I have pushed a lot of things for you, and they all suspect that I have enemies with you. It's just that you have to be on this show now."
Jiang Baiwan's rebellious psychology was immediately aroused: "Why?"
Han Ling sneered: "Then I let Tan Mi call and tell you in person? After all, she asked me."
Jiang Baiwan shrank his neck. After hearing who meant it, he was very flexible and able to stretch out and knew the current affairs: "Go, go! Must go, Tan Mi's business is my business, and I will help with this."
Han Ling:...
"You don't need to be afraid, it's just a talk show. Can it be scarier than the... variety show you participated in before?" Han Ling comforted Jiang Baixun after all, "To put it bluntly, it means sitting beautifully dressed. There, just smile and talk, it's not difficult."
Jiang Baiyu nodded solemnly. Just when Han Ling thought she was mentally prepared, Jiang Baiyu asked: "Then...how do I calculate the appearance fee? Do I need to bring my own clothes?"
Han Ling: "...I think I'd better call Tan Mi."
"Don't," Jiang Baiwan quickly held down Han Ling's hand and smiled flatteringly at him, "If you have something to discuss, don't call it when you have nothing to do."
Han Ling stared at Jiang Baiwan for a while, and then withdrew his hand: "I know what you mean, don't worry, after participating in this program, your contract will almost expire. At that time we Just cancel the contract and you don’t have to participate in these activities that you don’t like."
Jiang Baiwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, this is great."
"But...I heard a news recently," Han Ling paused, "Shui Lan'er seems to be going to the same studio as you to record. When the day of the recording comes, maybe you two will meet."
Jiang Baiwan: "I regret it now--"
"It's too late." Han Ling blocked her conversation all at once.
Jiang Baiwan: "—Okay."
