- Chapter 6 - Searching for a Job While Preparing to Break Off the Engagement
Ye Lan’s WeChat account was filled with close friends and family, all trustworthy people. Her moments mostly featured family vacations or photos of flowers and plants. In short, her life was peaceful and serene, embodying a sense of stability and contentment.
The actress’s concern over her daughter’s marital prospects was no secret; it had been going on for quite some time. After all, she had even posted in her moments straightforwardly asking how to help her daughter find a girlfriend.
Now, not only did she have a future daughter-in-law, but she was also an exceptionally beautiful and outstanding woman who didn’t pale in comparison even when standing next to the actress herself.
Aside from offering congratulations, many also asked which family this “lucky” girl belonged to.
Ye Lan didn’t respond.
She didn’t want the daughter-in-law she had her eye on to be snatched away by someone else midway.
Ye Lan kept Wen Yan completely under wraps, not even telling her own four daughters.
Though she remained silent, the four daughters of the Gu family were burning with curiosity.
In the “Four Great Beauties” group chat:
One Gu Gu patted Gu Er Cai Bu Er.
Gu Er Cai Bu Er: [?]
One Gu Gu: [Shuangshuang, have you met that girl?]
The Actress’s Little Third: [Who is it, who is it? I just asked Mom, but she wouldn’t tell me.]
Gu Er Cai Bu Er: [I have a vague impression. I think I might have seen her once when I went to pick up Bi Yu at the police station. Let me ask Bi Yu.]
Peerless Fairy Gu Xiao Si: [But I have to say, Mom’s taste is impeccable. That girl is absolutely stunning she’s practically the female lead from the novels I write!]
One Gu Gu: [She is quite good-looking. If Mom likes her, she must be a nice girl.]
The Actress’s Little Third: [Hearing you talk like this makes me feel sorry for her marrying Xiao Wu.]
On set filming, Gu Wu suddenly sneezed out of the blue.
“Director Lin, are you catching a cold?”
A petite omega actress approached, her face full of concern.
Gu Wu glanced at her. “If you know, then why are you standing so close? Do you want to get infected?”
The omega actress choked back her words and walked away, looking aggrieved.
The onlookers shook their heads: Destined to be forever alone.
Her expression remained cold and unapproachable. It was currently break time on set. Due to scheduling conflicts among the actors, the filming progress had already fallen behind. To catch up, they had to work overtime late into the night at the studio, filming in near darkness.
The previous scene had already been shot eight times without success. The lead actress, An Ran, was so flustered and embarrassed that she couldn’t get into character. Gu Wu also known as Director Lin had no choice but to announce a fifteen-minute break with a stern face, speaking into the walkie-talkie.
“If we don’t get this scene right today, no one is going home to sleep.”
Gu Wu wasn’t angry she never got upset over other people’s mistakes but her cold, expressionless face was intimidating enough.
Just then, her assistant, Qin Xia, jogged over and handed her the phone, whispering, “Madam asked you to call her back when you have a break.”
Gu Wu had always been an obedient child who listened to her mother, so she immediately dialed the number.
The call connected.
“Director Lin, I thought I wouldn’t be hearing from you today.”
Gu Wu, whose real name was Gu Lin and stage name was Lin Ye, was a director by profession, so people generally addressed her as Director Lin.
But her family never called her that. As the youngest, Gu Wu received the most affection but also endured the most teasing from her family.
Whether it was her parents or her older sisters, they all preferred to call her by nicknames like Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu-zi, or Xiao Wu-zai.
If anyone addressed her as Director Lin, it definitely meant they were upset with her.
Gu Lin pursed her lips, glanced around, and only relaxed a little when she saw no one looking her way. She lowered her voice helplessly and explained, “Mom, I just finished work. I wasn’t intentionally ignoring your calls.”
“Have you had dinner yet?”
“How did things go with that Miss Wen today?”
Hearing her daughter’s concern, Ye Lan’s mood improved slightly.
“I’ve eaten. But you, don’t skip meals again because you’re busy filming.”
“You’re Mommy’s precious little darling.”
“Things went quite well with her. And she’s not just ‘Miss Wen’ she’s your future wife, the one you’re going to marry and bring home.”
Gu Lin closed her eyes helplessly. Here we go again. At just twenty-two, her mother was already pushing her to get married.
“Mom,” Gu Lin drawled, “I’m still so young. Why rush into marriage?”
Ye Lan cut her off coldly, “Don’t try that with me. I’m not falling for it again!”
“Wasn’t she here to break off the engagement?” Gu Lin had no choice but to change the subject.
Ye Lan was triumphant. “It’s all because your mom has charm! Even if she doesn’t like you, she’ll like her future mother-in-law!”
Gu Lin fell silent, unable to refute.
“So hurry up and win over the daughter-in-law I’ve picked! I don’t care how you do it!”
“If you can’t bring her home to call me ‘Mom’ within two years, don’t bother coming back either!”
The call ended abruptly and decisively.
Gu Lin was speechless. One moment, she was her mother’s precious darling; the next, she was less important than a daughter-in-law who hadn’t even entered the family yet.
Truly, an omega’s words, deceitful ghosts.
Gu Lin tossed her phone to her assistant and asked him to look up information on Miss Wen.
No matter what, it wouldn’t hurt to learn more about her.
Gu Er Is Not Stupid: [Found out. Her name is Wen Yan, the eldest daughter of the Wen family.]
Gu Er Is Not Stupid: [She just returned from abroad. Her parents died in a car accident, and she herself survived a murder attempt disguised as a car crash. Now she’s raising her younger brother alone.]
A Gu Gu: [That poor girl.]
Peerless Fairy Gu Xiao Si: [What a tragic heroine setup orphaned, forced to marry a playgirl scoundrel. I have inspiration now!!!]
Xiao San from the Movie Queen’s Family: [You could buy the rights to her story. It might help her out.]
A Gu Gu: [Xianxian’s idea isn’t bad.]
Gu Er Is Not Stupid: [Seconded.]
Peerless Fairy Gu Xiao Si: [But I just bought the rights to a bunch of novels recently. I’m broke.]
Peerless Fairy Gu Xiao Si: [Would my sisters be willing to sponsor me a little?]
A Gu Gu: [Don’t think we don’t know Xiao Wu bought your script.]
Xiao San from the Movie Queen’s Family: [Aren’t you the richest among us sisters now? Always tagging along with Xiao Wu, living the high life.]
Gu Er Is Not Stupid: [Dog.]
Peerless Fairy Gu Xiao Si: [Second Sister, how could you say that about me! You’ll make me cry, boohoo~]
Gu Er Is Not Stupid: [Gag.]
Gu Sisi was so angry she chewed on her handkerchief in front of her computer, unable to type another word.
Meanwhile, Wen Yan had no idea she had already caught the attention of the entire Gu family. She was busy communicating with Jin Yin.
Jin Yin was the person Ye Lanying later referred her to, also a well-known top agent in the industry. Tang Mi and Song Yu, two of the Four Rising Actresses, were both nurtured by her.
Jin Yin’s other identity was equally widely recognized she was the live-in son-in-law of the Gu family, the wife of the third young lady, Gu Xian.
As a female beta marrying an omega young lady from the Gu family, it was quite sensational news in wealthy circles at the time.
Jin Yin made a huge splash nationwide, almost as if she were bringing glory to betas.
It wasn’t until later, when the eldest daughter of the Gu family married a beta doctor and the second young lady married an omega police officer, that people began to realize:
The children of this generation of the Gu family, don’t seem to be interested in alphas?
As for the reason, Gu Wu declared she wouldn’t take the blame. Even if her older sisters really disliked alphas, it was their father’s fault.
She was still an innocent baby who obediently followed her sisters around.
Gu Lang: Huh???
As for Wen Yan, who was about to become part of the Gu family yes, Jin Yin had seen the post shared by Ye Lanying on her social media Jin Yin treated Wen Yan with exceptional warmth and friendliness, completely unlike the fierce demeanor she showed when dealing with artists under the agency.
It almost felt like she was doting on her as a younger sister.
Gold and Silver Are Not as Precious as My San San: [So you don’t want to sign with an agency right now?]
Wen Yan Doesn’t Want to Paint Anymore: [Yeah, I don’t really want to be tied down by a company or a contract, and I also need to take care of my younger brother.]
Gold and Silver Are Not as Precious as My San San: [I saw your brother’s photo on your social media. He has great potential. You could consider bringing him along to sign as well.]
[I’ll take care of both of you. I won’t let you and your brother suffer any losses.]
Wen Yan Doesn’t Want to Paint Anymore: [He personally leans more toward working behind the scenes. I won’t force him.]
[Jin Yin Jie, you don’t have to go out of your way for me. I just want to act.]
[If you have any suitable roles on your end, you can just refer me and give me a chance to audition.]
[I’ll fight for the rest myself.]
Gold and Silver Are Not as Precious as My San San: [There are quite a few projects on hand right now. Let me sort through them and pick a few good scripts to send to you.]
[I’ll make arrangements with the production teams. You can just focus on the auditions.]
[Do you need me to go with you?]
Wen Yan Doesn’t Want to Paint Anymore: [No need, Jin Yin Jie. I can handle it myself. Thank you.]
Gold and Silver Are Not as Precious as My San San: [You’re welcome. Do your best.]
[Looking forward to seeing you on screen soon.]
