Chapter 206: That is definitely not the gaze of a friend

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: That is definitely not the gaze of a friend

Gu Zhi thought about it, and realized that from the start, her eldest brother never intended to work for Chairman Yang.

Qin Ji said, "When the studio location is chosen, come take a look."

"Sure." Gu Zhi naturally had no objections, glanced at him, "If you need money, just let me know."

Qin Ji chuckled, nodded and said "Okay."

After dropping Gu Zhi off at the filming set and watching her go inside, Qin Ji finally left.

Meanwhile, Qu Qi and Dai Qian were already waiting at the entrance of the set. As soon as they saw her get off the car, they rushed over with umbrellas and coffee, their faces full of curiosity:

"Sister Zhizhi/Gu Zhi, are you really the biological daughter of the Gu Family?" The two asked almost in unison.

This matter had been brewing online for almost a day, but no one had come forward to confirm it. The gossip online had been thoroughly picked through by netizens.

No matter how much the Gu Family tried to suppress the trending topic, it was futile.

The more they tried to suppress it, the more it indicated there was an issue.

Gu Zhi’s lips twitched, she looked at the two of them speechlessly, too lazy to speak.

Dai Qian, realizing the situation, couldn’t help but curse, "Pfft, the Gu Family is really something else. There’s an old saying ’even a tiger won’t eat its own cub’, yet they don’t recognize their own daughter, and Gu Yiyi is even more shameless, holding onto your identity for so many years and still having the nerve to speak cynically!?"

He had watched Gu Zhi go through the darkest time, being vilified online.

At her lowest point, even he wanted to scold her.

Yet the Gu Family remained silent, allowing anyone to scold her for Gu Yi’s sake!

Gu Zhi, however, didn’t react much, just slightly tugged her lips, "So daring to speak up, do you want to be cyberbullied too?"

"...," Dai Qian hurriedly covered his mouth, only relaxing when he saw no one around.

Gu Zhi walked directly into the set; she had a backlog of scenes to shoot. Fortunately, she had rehearsed the script on the way.

During the makeup time, she familiarized herself once again and quickly got into character.

Everyone on set, all industry insiders, had quickly caught up with the gossip. Their gazes towards Gu Zhi were different from before.

Some staff, who had once secretly cursed her online, felt deeply guilty.

No one would have expected Gu Zhi to be the real heiress the Gu Family lost by mistake, yet when she returned to the Gu Family, she wasn’t acknowledged. Even when she was most vilified, her biological parents didn’t stand up for her, instead fanning the flames.

Who wouldn’t feel heartbroken?

All at once, everyone on the set was filled with sympathy for Gu Zhi, and they took extra care of her.

Bai Yuelin, who was acting opposite her, felt especially awkward.

He had thought Gu Zhi would invite him to a variety show in the capacity of a friend, but he never expected it would be Emperor Qi... his idol!

On the show, the way the man looked at her, even though Gu Zhi didn’t notice, Bai Yuelin completely understood...

That was definitely not the way one looks at a friend.

Thus, during the scenes together, Bai Yuelin didn’t quite know where to place his hands, feeling flustered.

For fear of crossing a boundary and offending someone.

Fortunately, their intimate scenes were few, and Gu Zhi didn’t notice. A few scenes, and they finished filming quickly.

By the time Gu Zhi was done, it was already evening.

She removed her makeup, shook off her fatigue and went straight back to her apartment.

Online, fans and fan sites quickly uploaded behind-the-scenes photos of Gu Zhi filming.

Almost as soon as they were posted, they were reposted by major media outlets and marketing accounts.

Daily Star News: "Gu Zhi (the real Gu Family heiress) makes her first appearance after the storm, and she goes straight to the set upon returning. The beauty is truly both beautiful and dedicated."

Fans were even more captivated:

"Awww, the fresh wifey, wifey is back, mua!"

"Wifey is so beautiful, and by the way, no other family should try to come close, my wife shines alone/smile."

"/cry/cry, I’m sorry Missy, I was blind before and couldn’t see your worth, even scolded the real heiress, please forgive me!"

"Wow, the real heiress is different; even after such a huge matter, she still has the mood to work. If it were me, I’d have given up/cry!"

"Really? Has the Gu Family acknowledged her as their heiress? Trying to spread rumors with just an audio clip? Besides, even if she is, whether she can go back or not is up to the Gu Family! Why scold the Gu Family?"

"What, can’t even recognize your own sister’s voice?"

"Right/dog head, Zhi Zhi better not go back, I suspect several from the Gu Family will end up in trouble, going back would lead to bankruptcy/dog head."

Anti-fans: "..."

Unable to argue!

Gu Zhi’s trend on the hot searches once again brought the previous matters back to the top, causing considerable impact to Gu Yiyi and Gu Wenlin, who had yet to respond.

Numerous netizens who couldn’t stand the Gu Family, and those who felt sorry for Gu Zhi, vented their anger under Yiyi’s and Wenlin’s Weibo pages.

The comment section was almost entirely taken over by netizens.

"@Gu Yiyi you’re really something, I never realized how good you are at acting while acting. Still holding onto Gu Zhi’s identity and parents, have some shame!"

"@Gu Yiyi I really liked you for so many years, never thought you’d turn out this way. Even if you’d just spoken up for Gu Zhi once, it wouldn’t have come to this. How do you have the face to keep holding onto her heiress title while mocking her/cry?"

"@Gu Wenlin how can you call yourself a brother/vomit, that’s your biological sister and you still have the gall to ridicule her, have you considered her feelings?"

"Gu Family members are each more disgusting than the last, @Brother Qin @Second Brother Qin @Third Brother Qin, do what needs to be done, deal with each one of them/cry!"

"I just want to know if the Gu Family still dares to appear on the variety show next week/smile, I swear I’d heckle them mercilessly."

The online discourse had almost entirely turned around, with previously harsh criticisms of Gu Zhi nearly disappearing. Any that did pop up were quickly drowned out by fans and bystanders.

Some netizens, watching the chaotic commentary, suddenly realized something.

"So, did anyone notice Emperor Qi going with Gu Zhi to a variety show this week? Not just that, before leaving, he even gave her a bouquet!?"

In the office, Meng Chuan, unexpectedly seeing this comment, sneezed out of nowhere.

Despite the online uproar, Gu Zhi was completely unaware.

After returning to her apartment, she took a nap, utterly exhausted.

It wasn’t until after nine o’clock that she was woken up by the doorbell ringing outside.

Gu Zhi furrowed her brows but wasn’t angry; she was never grouchy when waking up, groggily checked her phone for the time, and then went to open the door.

Standing outside was a tall figure, not surprisingly, she had just seen him a dozen hours before.

The man wore simple casual clothes, highlighting his tall, youthful, and handsome appearance.

He held a bouquet and a dinner in his hands, not surprised to see her still half-asleep.

He simply asked gently, "Have you had dinner?"

Gu Zhi: "..."
