"No, he's in the hospital. His family must be by his side. He and I haven't even started dating yet, so I won't go in front of his family." Su Ran refused. Even if she wanted to see him again, she had to hold back.

"Then call Shen Yifeng and the others. The instructor is injured, and it is legitimate for us as students to visit him." Ning Xi said.

"No, no." Su Ran shook her head: "His injury is a secret, Shen Yifeng and the others don't know."

As they were talking, Zhao Pinlin called and said that the afternoon meeting would be moved up and that the two leading actors would attend Mr. Gu’s 80th birthday in the evening. The Gu family had sent an invitation.

Su Ran felt overwhelmed when she heard about this and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay not to go?"

Ning Xi was already answering: "I know, we will go."

Ning Xi hung up the phone and said, "I know you don't like to attend this kind of party, but this time the situation is special. The distributor of our film is Wanli Pictures, which is an industry under the name of the Gu family. It was previously managed by Qin Zhao, a relative of the second branch of the Gu family. Now Gu's only grandson Gu Yunchen has returned from Xinghai Country and is preparing to gradually take over the family business. So, next, we have to deal with Gu Yunchen. "72 Hours" is one of Wanli Pictures' key projects this year, and the invitation letter was also sent by Gu Yunchen. It is the first public appearance of the main creators of "72 Hours". What do you think, can we not go?"

Su Ran thought about it and nodded: "It seems that I have to go."

Ning Xi flipped through the contacts on her phone: "I don't know if I can get in touch with brand sponsors right now."

"Why do you need sponsorship? Just wear the dress you bought before." Su Ran disagreed.

"How can that be possible? Those are old clothes from three years ago. People will talk about them."

"Whatever they say, it doesn't matter, that's it."

Ye Dansha didn't come to the meeting, saying that she couldn't make it because of the delayed flight. Mr. Zhao was very angry, but Ye Dansha went with Shen Ming, and Shen Ming called to ask for leave on behalf of Ye Dansha, so he didn't know what to say.

Today's meeting mainly emphasized the discipline after joining the crew. Because the shooting location this time has complicated human relationships and we have to go into the jungle, no one, whether actors or staff, is allowed to act alone.

At 6:30 in the evening, Su Ran and others arrived at the Gu family mansion. There were reporters outside the gate. Unfortunately, the Gu family mansion was heavily guarded and interviews and filming were not allowed. After confirming the invitation letter, all the cars of the invited guests drove directly into the gate. The reporters could not take any pictures. Fortunately, the Gu family was very generous and gave each reporter a considerable red envelope as a reward for their hard work, so that their trip was not in vain.

When Gu Yunchen heard that the crew of "72 Hours" had arrived, he brought Qin Zhao out to greet them in person.

"Mr. Zhao, Director Chen, this is Mr. Gu."

"Hello… "

Everyone shook hands and exchanged greetings.

Su Ran and Ning Xi looked at each other. Isn’t this Mr. Gu the kind-hearted person from yesterday

"Hello, Su Ran." Gu Yunchen smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, yesterday..."

Gu Yunchen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the brave BMW driver was you."

It’s indeed him!

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"You're welcome. Please come in."

In the hall, Gu family’s second daughter-in-law Zhu Huiyu was chatting with her niece Jiang Xinyan.

"If I hadn't called your mother, she wouldn't have known you were in Shengzhou. You, girl, didn't even look for me when you came to Shengzhou. Have you forgotten about me, your aunt?" Zhu Huiyu said with a hint of anger.

"No way, I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but I was too busy with work." Jiang Xinyan apologized with a smile.

Her heart was all on Han Dong, and she really hadn't thought about contacting her aunt. If her aunt knew she was in Shengzhou, she would definitely ask her to live in the Gu family and would never let her rent a house outside.

"Why did you choose to study medicine when there are so many other things to study? Studying medicine is the most tiring thing."

"It's okay. I don't feel tired."

As Jiang Xinyan was talking, she saw her cousin Gu Yunchen and Su Ran walk in together. Her cousin was wearing a dark blue well-tailored suit today, looking handsome and elegant, while Su Ran was wearing a light blue one-shoulder evening gown with her hair tied up high, looking noble and elegant. The two were talking and laughing.

"Why is she here too?" Jiang Xinyan said to herself.

"you know?"

"I know her, Su Ran!"

"Your uncle originally disapproved of inviting these stars, but your cousin said he was going to take over Wanli Pictures and happened to have a collaboration with these people, so he insisted on inviting them."

"Aunt, you have to be careful. I have dealt with this Su Ran before. This woman flirts with people wherever she goes. Look at my cousin. He has been so enthusiastic towards anyone even with so many guests coming." Jiang Xinyan said.

After hearing what Jiang Xinyan said, Zhu Huiyu also felt that her son was too enthusiastic about Su Ran. Today, taking advantage of the old man's birthday, she specially invited a lot of celebrities to come, just to let Yun Chen take a look at them, but Yun Chen ignored everyone and stuck to Su Ran.

This is not a good sign.

Zhu Huiyu called the housekeeper: "Go and call the young master over."

Gu Yunchen was talking to Su Ran about yesterday's car accident.

"I went to the hospital afterwards, but you had already been discharged. I'm glad you weren't injured, otherwise the filming would have been delayed."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I was still scared when I thought about it later. It's okay to get injured, but it would be bad if the filming was delayed. The whole crew can't wait for me alone, and I will probably lose this opportunity." Su Ran said.

"No, you were injured while saving someone, and the role of Chen Jin belongs to you. At least I will definitely support you." Gu Yunchen smiled, with sincerity in his deep eyes.

Before, he didn't know that the BMW driver was Su Ran. He had been abroad for more than ten years and seldom returned to China, let alone paid attention to the domestic entertainment industry. He simply admired her wit and courage. Later, when public opinion on the Internet became turbulent, he got to know Su Ran. He found out that Su Ran was the leading actress in the movie "72 Hours". He then temporarily added a few invitations, mainly to invite Su Ran.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for thinking so highly of me."

"Master, Madam wants you to come over." The housekeeper came to call for someone.

Gu Yunchen politely bowed to Su Ran and said, "Excuse me for a moment."

Following the direction that Gu Yunchen left, Su Ran saw Jiang Xinyan at a glance. Jiang Xinyan was standing next to a noble lady and was also looking at her with a cold and arrogant look.

"I never thought that Mr. Gu was the handsome guy who carried you out of the car yesterday, and he is so easy-going." Ning Xi said with a sigh.

"Su Ran, what are you looking at? I'm talking to you." Ning Xi noticed that Su Ran ignored her and patted her.

Su Ran retracted her gaze and smiled: "Nothing, I saw an acquaintance."

That lady should be Gu Yunchen’s mother. It seems that Jiang Xinyan is very close to Gu Yunchen’s mother. I don’t know what their relationship is.

However, no matter what their relationship is, it has nothing to do with her.
