The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 25.2

【Do you have anyone in mind?】 Qu Anruo asked 666 casually.

【According to the normal plot conventions, that person would be Xu Nanxi’s assistant. Didn’t you two have a conflict before?】

If 666 hadn’t mentioned it, Qu Anruo would have forgotten about that person. After discussing it with Director Bai, Director Bai called Xu Nanxi.

Xu Nanxi was woken up directly from her beauty sleep. She unhappily picked up her phone, ready to snap, but realized it was Director Bai.

“Director Bai, is there something? If not, I’m going back to sleep.” She yawned appropriately.

“Are all your current assistants with the crew?” Xu Nanxi was no longer sleepy after hearing this. She stood up and told Director Bai that they were all there.

Director Bai nodded to Qu Anruo after hearing this. “Jingyun’s itinerary was exposed this time. I suspect someone did it deliberately.”

“So you suspect me?” Xu Nanxi said, looking at her nails.

“No, Nanxi, we suspect your assistants.” Hearing Director Bai’s words, Xu Nanxi rolled her eyes. That was still suspecting her. “Whatever, go ahead and investigate. I need to sleep.” Xu Nanxi said, turning off her phone.

Hearing that Xu Nanxi had given them permission, Director Bai and Qu Anruo went to the staff break area. The assistants were talking about something together. One of them looked away when she saw the three people enter.

“It was you, wasn’t it?” Qu Anruo said to that person. “What are you talking about?” Xiao Qi asked, confused, seeing Qu Anruo speaking to the person next to her.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The person looked at Qu Anruo and vehemently denied it.

“Then I have no choice but to have Xu Nanxi fire you.” Qu Anruo said, pretending to take out her phone to tell Xu Nanxi.

The person immediately rushed forward and snatched Qu Anruo’s phone: “I did it! Don’t tell her!” She then looked at Gu Jingyun with hatred: “I just can’t stand you! Why should you be the female lead!”

She had liked Xu Nanxi for so many years and finally had the chance to be her assistant. Xu Nanxi was so close to getting the female lead. It was all Gu Jingyun’s fault!

“What the heck? I don’t care about that female lead.” Xu Nanxi sneered at the person. She didn’t expect this assistant to be crazy.

She told her bodyguard to kick the person out.

“This incident is my fault. If Miss Gu has trouble in the future, she can come to me.” After saying that, Xu Nanxi left with her remaining assistants.

Hearing Xu Nanxi’s words, Director Bai seemed happy. She turned to Gu Jingyun and said, “Oh my, I didn’t expect something so good to happen.”

After all, the Xu family’s power was not to be underestimated. In the future, Gu Jingyun could go to the Xu family if she had any problems. With the protection of both the Qu and Xu families, Gu Jingyun’s path should be much smoother.

Qu Anruo also didn’t expect Xu Nanxi to be so agreeable. It seemed Xu Nanxi was not as the original plot described.

Good news also came from Wang Chu’s side. “CEO Qu, we found the person who posted the photo, but he said he was entrusted by someone else.” Wang Chu said, looking at the situation in the comment section.

Although the person was identified, they had no evidence to prove that the person who commissioned him was Su Haodang. Qu Anruo could only shift the scandal’s focus onto herself: “Just say that the person in the photo is me.” The person in the photo was indeed her. They only needed to insist that they were friends.

Qu Anruo took a photo of herself and Gu Jingyun together and posted it on Jingruo Company’s official Weibo account. In an instant, many people rushed to see it.

The Weibo post stated: Friends for life.

They are clearly just friends. Who spread those rumors before?

The two beauties standing together are a perfect match! Lock them up! (Stay together forever!)

For life!

The comments were much better than before. This move was effective. After a while, they exposed the person who posted the photo and sent him a lawyer’s letter.

The person quickly issued a statement apologizing. A bunch of people who were misled by him went to Weibo to curse him. This was karma.

Qu Anruo handed the phone to Gu Jingyun: “It’s all over.”

After this storm, Gu Jingyun’s fan base kept skyrocketing. Many variety shows and advertisements came knocking. Qu Anruo looked through them and rejected all those she was not satisfied with.

When one-third of the movie had been filmed, Director Bai told everyone after the day’s shoot: “The movie has been filming for so long. I’m giving you a holiday to go back and rest.” Everyone cheered upon hearing this.

Back at the hotel, Qu Anruo immediately flopped onto the bed and said to Gu Jingyun, “We can finally go home. Sister, you should rest well then.”

Qu Anruo woke up early the next morning. She hadn’t been home in a long time. Although she hadn’t been in this world for long, she had a special affection for the Qu family.

She ran to Gu Jingyun’s room and woke up the still sleeping Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun was surprised that Qu Anruo was up so early.

“Anruo, why are you up so early today?” Gu Jingyun’s voice was a bit hoarse. She said this while drinking the water Qu Anruo had placed by her bedside.

Qu Anruo squatted by Gu Jingyun’s bed and looked at her: “If we leave early, we can still catch lunch.” Gu Jingyun covered her mouth and smiled, seeing Qu Anruo so happy that she looked like she was about to wag her tail.

After packing their belongings and saying goodbye to the crew, the two headed to the airport.

Qu Anruo was so excited and woke up so early that she fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane. Gu Jingyun asked the flight attendant for a small blanket and covered Qu Anruo with it. After covering her, she took out a book and started reading.

Qu Anruo woke up after a while, rubbing her eyes, and asked, “Are we there?” Gu Jingyun patted the blanket on her: “Not yet.” Qu Anruo closed her eyes again and rested her head on Gu Jingyun’s arm.

About an hour later, Gu Jingyun called Qu Anruo: “Anruo, wake up, we’re almost there.” Qu Anruo responded and opened her eyes.

When the three people got off the plane, Yuan Yuan said someone was picking her up and left first. Qu Anruo looked around outside the airport but didn’t see Zhao Lan’an, who was supposed to pick them up. Just as she was about to tell Gu Jingyun, she saw Zhao Lan’an talking to Gu Jingyun.

“Mom, when did you teleport here?” Qu Anruo asked, coming up to Zhao Lan’an.

Zhao Lan’an had seen the two of them. She had already walked up to Gu Jingyun, but Qu Anruo still hadn’t noticed her. She playfully poked Qu Anruo’s forehead: “You silly child, I’ve been here the whole time.”

Qu Anruo winced and covered her forehead, looking tearfully at Gu Jingyun to complain. Gu Jingyun smiled and gently stroked Qu Anruo’s forehead. Watching their interaction, Zhao Lan’an felt that their relationship had progressed further. She wondered if her daughter had managed to win over Gu Jingyun yet.

“Let’s go home. Jinyi also came back today. She missed you both.” Zhao Lan’an smiled and pulled the two of them into the car. The bodyguards dutifully handled the luggage in the back.

Back at home, Qu Anruo sighed about how good it felt to be home. “Sister.” Gu Jinyi hadn’t seen Gu Jingyun in a long time. She couldn’t help but step forward and hug Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun comforted Gu Jinyi for a long time before Gu Jinyi finally let go.
