After getting the marriage certificate, Gu Qingwu packed her suitcase and joined the crew to film before she could even experience the honeymoon life of a married girl. She was isolated for three months and completely entered another busy life of getting up early and going to bed late.
In the crew, no one knew about her secret marriage. She missed He Sui Chen so much that she would hide in bed late at night to video chat with him.
She was busy, and He Suichen was also busy with his charity business. After a long time, Gu Qingwu finally realized and said, "You still have some private money?"
The background of the cocktail party's open-air balcony was the back garden. Warm and dim lights outlined the handsome profile of He Suichen. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses. His overly focused eyes were filled with warmth. His thin lips seemed to smile as he said, "I didn't have any before... Now I've made some money to support my wife and children."
His ability to make money is like a human money printing machine, which is much faster than what Gu Qingwu earned from filming.
People really shouldn't be competitive. Gu Qingwu bit her fingertips and said fiercely, "I hate you evil capitalists the most!"
"Mrs. He, your husband is now a philanthropist." He Sui Chen refused to be labeled as a capitalist. He was obviously a calculating wolf, but he pretended to be a kind and harmless Confucian businessman. His reputation in the business world was also spread as a myth.
Gu Qingwu turned over and pressed her face against the white pillow. She stared at the man on the screen with her dark eyes and muttered softly, "Big liar... You cheated me out of the dowry I saved up with great effort in Nanming Temple before, and now you cheated me out of the dowry I saved up with great effort in filming. Now you have cheated me out of all the financial power in our family."
He Suichen heard her complaining and lowered his laughter: "I'm saving it all for you. All my money is yours too."
Gu Qingwu didn't know how other people distributed their property when they got married. It seemed that she and He Sui Chen didn't go to the notary office when they got their marriage certificate. After all, she had no experience and it felt like a flash marriage. She complained a few words, but in her heart she was happy that He Sui Chen had left the He family and had his own industry.
"The director said... the crew's prospective family members are here to visit the set. When are you free to come see me?"
"Missed me?"
"I didn't think about it. I'm married, so I have to act like a married woman... I have to fulfill my husband's duties."
She spoke of the matter in a very cryptic way.
He Suichen was hinted at, the warmth in his eyes gradually deepened, even his breathing was restrained, and he said softly: "I'll come to see you tonight, okay?"
Gu Qingwu was frightened. He never thought that a single sentence would make him come all the way to Lingcheng. He sobered up a little: "I haven't informed the director yet. You can't come in even if you come."
"Don't you miss me?"
"In no mood."
"Then I miss you... I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night."
He Suichen was not stingy with his words when he spoke love words. His voice was so low and hoarse that it seemed as if it was right next to her ear. He asked her over and over again, "Do you really not miss me?"
Gu Qingwu's ears slowly turned red. She pulled the quilt over her face. After a while, her bright black eyes slowly revealed themselves: "Brother..." She suddenly pointed to the top corner of the screen, and when she saw a familiar figure, she asked in surprise with her red lips: "Is that Gu Wenhan?"
"Um."
He Suichen aimed the camera to let her see clearly, and explained slowly: "Your father wants to get involved in some charity industries, and he often attends these cocktail parties recently."
If Gu Wenhan wanted to get into the Sicheng circle, the first people he had to show his favor to were He Sui Chen and the one from the Xie family. In comparison, he had had drinks with He Sui Chen and was more familiar with him, so he had been in contact with him more frequently in recent days.
He Sui Chen introduced Gu Wenhan to this cocktail party.
Gu Qingwu was unaware of this, and after hanging up the phone, the other party involved, Gu Wenhan, was also unaware of He Suichen's private affairs.
He even teased He Sui Chen that he was in high spirits because of the happy event, but forgot to ask the bride's name and was only thinking about the charity industry. When they were talking about his physical and mental happiness, he even proposed to become friends with He Sui Chen regardless of age difference.
He Suichen smiled faintly: "Boss Gu, I'm afraid our relationship is not suitable for being brothers."
Gu Wenhan thought he was being disliked for his age, so he nodded and said, "My girl is only three or four years younger than Mr. He... She is really not suitable to be a brother, otherwise my girl would not be able to call you uncle when she sees you."
He Sui Chen twitched his thin lips: "It's ok to call me brother."
Gu Wenhan joked, "If we meet some other day, I'll ask her to recognize you as her brother."
This relative relationship was forced together even though they had no blood relationship. Others smiled and said nothing when seeing this, thinking that Fourth Master Gu was willing to sacrifice his reputation just to build connections.
On the other hand, He Sui Chen always maintained a humble and polite demeanor. It seemed that after getting married, he had hidden his sharp side even more. He looked extremely approachable, and even the sense of alienation from the past was gone.
The reception was in the second half.
He Suichen personally sent the half-drunk Gu Wenhan back to a villa. After helping him out of the car, Gu Wenhan saw that it was not a hotel environment and asked a few questions. After he suddenly realized, he said, "How can I have the nerve to disturb Mr. He..."
"No problem. This villa was originally prepared as a place for my father-in-law to stay, but no one lives there now."
He Suichen's casual explanation and his willingness to let him stay as long as he wanted moved Gu Wenhan so much that he grabbed his wrist and said, "The more we spend time together, the more we are destined to be together. Why don't I take you as my godson?"
The secretary next to him hurried over to help him, which immediately diverted Gu Wenhan's attention. He liked the style of the villa and said, "Then stay for a few days."
After sending the person there, He Sui Chen got in the car and left, leaving only Yan Shu and two secretaries there.
One of them was half-understanding and whispered: "I think this Fourth Master Gu doesn't care much about his daughter... He doesn't even know how to be a father-in-law, so why does Mr. He still respect him?"
Yan Shu glanced at him and said, "There are many intricacies here. Mr. He and Miss Gu are a match made in heaven that was blocked by many obstacles. Now that they have finally come to fruition, Mr. He naturally doesn't want the Gu family to interfere and ruin his marriage. The Gu family must acknowledge this marriage. For Miss Gu, it is better to be sincerely blessed by her closest relatives... than to be deserted by her family for the man she loves, right?"
The reason why He Sui Chen was willing to give respect to Gu Wenhan was because of Gu Qingwu.
There is another more important point, which Yan Shu did not tell to his secretary.
What’s important is that Mr. He consulted an authoritative psychologist in the industry to find out how to cure Gu Qingwu, who has a negative and resistant attitude towards marriage due to the influence of her parents in her original family.
The advice given by the psychologist is to let He Sui Chen create a happy marriage life. As time goes by, Gu Qingwu will develop a sense of security in their marriage and slowly forget the harm caused to her by her parents' failed marriage.
How can an elder come out to destroy a happy marriage
He Sui Chen now puts Gu Qingwu first in his heart. He is extremely cautious in everything concerning her. In the dark, he personally built a wall for her to protect her from the cold wind and rainstorms from the outside world.
…
Gu Qingwu, who is far away in Lingcheng, has recently become a hot topic again. The reason is that some opponents on the Internet criticized her for not having any classic representative roles and could only rely on her beauty to become popular. Later, a blogger who has been her fan for several years edited a video for her.
The video shows the roles she has played in dramas since her debut.
After being posted online, it was forwarded by various media reporters and marketing accounts, and fans also came to leave messages of support.
Soon, some netizens discovered that Gu Qingwu had been suspended on wires many times, and any screenshot she took was absolutely beautiful. She was much more professional than those actresses next door. Soon, the topic of Gu Qingwu flying like a fairy topped the hot search list.
Even the movie "Dress Up" which she is currently filming, contains many classic scenes of fairies flying.
After seeing the behind-the-scenes footage, some professionals in the domestic entertainment industry privately bet that this big-budget movie will definitely become the number one box office hit by the end of the year.
Gu Qingwu's business ability in the past two years has been obvious to all. At first, netizens who were fans of her were attracted by her looks. Later, after witnessing how Gu Qingwu was devoted to filming movies without distraction, and how she was not controlled by capitalists to make quick money by controlling her traffic, and how the scripts she took on were of high quality and the brands she endorsed were all high-end luxury, they gradually became fans of her.
The closed-door shooting of "The Costume" was coming to an end, and Gu Qingwu stayed in the crew without taking a single step out.
She joined the work group of entertainment reporters, and when she had nothing to do, she would go to the group to chat with the dozen or so entertainment reporters who were following her.
After getting to know each other better, those entertainment reporters would even gossip with her about domestic entertainment news.
For example, they suspected that film queen Jiang Nai already had a second child, but could not find any evidence. Or they wondered whether young actress Chi Zhu had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Or a media outlet found out that Yi Xiaorong frequently went in and out of a private hospital last month, and was suspected of secretly giving birth to a child for a wealthy businessman.
Gu Qingwu simply ignored the first two pieces of gossip and specifically tagged Yi Xiaorong's message: "??? Did you get the solid evidence?"
Vinegar dumplings Maomao replied: "I have already got the evidence of the former actress visiting the gynecologist. My boss asked me to sort it out. See you on Wednesday."
Gu Qingwu didn't reply and didn't show up in the group for an hour.
The entertainment reporters in the group automatically sympathized with the goddess for being tired from filming in Hengdian, and lined up to say:
—Good night, Goddess Gu Qingwu
The media initially intended to expose the news about Yi Xiaorong, but on Wednesday, a mysterious wealthy businessman bought the video at a high price, leaving netizens out for no reason, and the official blog was scolded to death by fans.
In recent times, these entertainment reporters who have been jumping around in the circle have been keeping a low profile.
After Gu Qingwu finished filming the character for "The Costume", he flew back to Sicheng in a low-key manner on the night of the final shooting.
Her itinerary was not announced. Apart from saying hello to the entertainment reporters in the group, her fans didn't know about it. When the lights came on at night, she took a taxi away from the airport alone.
As winter approaches, people outside are wrapped in thick down jackets. Gu Qingwu is no exception as she fears the cold wind. She also wears a little red hat for herself. Her long black hair falls down along her shoulders, making her face look only the size of a palm. Her beautiful eyes reflect the bright night.
She took a taxi to Yueting Hotel. Knowing that He Sui Chen was entertaining guests in the banquet hall, she did not disturb him. Instead, she secretly asked Yan Shu for a room card and returned to the suite on the top floor with her suitcase.
After entering the door, Gu Qingwu took off his black down jacket and walked towards the cloakroom wearing a loose white sweater with a round neck. His waist was very thin when he stretched it. He had lost a lot of weight in the three months of filming on the crew. After taking off all his clothes, he casually took out a men's cotton shirt and put it on, with bare legs.
Before He Sui sank back, Gu Qingwu had already finished checking on him.
Very good. There were no signs of other women using the bathroom or the bed. The six-pack provided by the hotel was placed in the drawer, all of which were intact.
She hugged the snow-white pillow, lazily lying on the edge of the bed, facing the lights of thousands of houses through the floor-to-ceiling windows, reached out to take out her cell phone, and flipped through He Suichen's WeChat: "Brother, brother, are you still socializing?"
He Sui Chen didn't reply to the message, he must be busy.
Gu Qingwu started gossiping with Jiang Dianying late at night again and took screenshots of the entertainment reporter's revelations.
Jiang Dianying: "Old Swan, that scumbag Gu Wenhan has also fallen into the hands of a woman, right?"
Yi Xiaorong is probably pregnant. These entertainment reporters have been diligent in their work and the news they captured is very likely to be true. Gu Qingwu replied slowly, "My grandmother will not agree to let her enter the house with a big belly."
The reason they were so sure was because the Gu family attached great importance to reputation. In the beginning, because Fu Wanwan was a bankrupt socialite, her grandmother was extremely reluctant. Even after she married into the family, she often said in private that her family was impoverished and that she wanted her daughter to marry into a wealthy family.
Later, she gave up her socialite status and insisted on applying to the Film Academy, which made the Gu family so angry that they almost broke off relations with her. For so many years, they refused to acknowledge her identity to the outside world.
Gu Qingwu doesn't care who will be her stepmother or whether she will have a half-brother.
She had long since stopped considering herself a member of the Gu family, and privately told Jiang Dianying, "Gu Wenhan has been in the business of making women for decades, but he didn't get sterilized. What a mistake."
Jiang Dianying sent a laughing emoji, probably because she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She was almost out of breath when she heard the voice: "She is really my daughter, pure bred."
But after a while, she took a screenshot of Yi Xiaorong’s new circle of friends: I never thought that something like this would happen to me one day.
The comments below were all from people in the circle, and they all asked her what happened.
Yi Xiaorong's reply was ambiguous, but was unexpectedly exposed by Jiang Xuening, which led to a major setback: Teacher Yi, you have a constitution that makes you prone to miscarriages. You should go see a Chinese doctor, and he will cure it.
Jiang Dianying almost vomited from laughing: "Mom, help me, what kind of weirdo is Shen Xingdu's ex-girlfriend?"
This post was deleted by Yi Xiaorong in seconds, and even after refreshing, it was only visible for three days in the circle of friends.
However, it is easy to guess from Jiang Xuening's words that it is still unknown whether Yi Xiaorong can keep the baby.
Gu Qingwu continued chatting with Jiang Dianying for a while, when He Sui Chen called.
Caught off guard, the phone almost slipped from my fingers. I cleared my throat before answering: "Hello?"
The sound of the elevator came from He Suichen's side first. He should have finished the dinner and was on his way back to the suite. His voice was low and hoarse: "Just finished the social event... Are you busy with the wrap-up tonight?"
Gu Qingwu smiled and said deliberately: "It's very lively... Just now, a male actor from the same crew confessed to me. Brother, do you think I should consider it?"
With a ding, the elevator arrived at the floor where we were staying.
He Suichen stepped out, his tone sounding unhurried, yet revealing a hint of danger: "Can you give me some thought?"
Gu Qingwu felt a chill on her neck after hearing what he said, but she still said, "I'm not afraid of you."
"It's 9:10 and 3 at night. If I take a private plane to your place, the total journey will only take two hours..." He Sui Chen kindly reminded her on the phone that if she made her man angry, it would only take a few minutes to catch him.
There was another ding sound, and the sound of a card being swiped to enter could be heard from both the phone and outside.
Gu Qingwu subconsciously turned around to look outside and saw that the lights were on. Her heartbeat began to speed up and the sound between her lips became lighter: "Brother."
"Um?"
"I heard from Yan Shu that a female celebrity sneaked into your room tonight. Is that true?"
There was silence for a few seconds, and Gu Qingwu smiled: "Do you want to check on the bed?"
The words haven't even been spoken yet.
He Sui Chen had already walked to the bedroom door. He saw Gu Qingwu sitting wrapped in a snow-white quilt, with her thick black hair hanging down, smiling at him.
It has been more than a month since I last secretly visited the crew.
Looking at her now, it was as if he had never seen her in his previous life. There were emotional fluctuations in He Sui Chen's eyes. He closed the door with his backhand, unbuckled his belt and walked over slowly.
Gu Qingwu was not afraid of his attitude and complained quietly: "You are like this as soon as you see me."
"If not, you would suspect that I have a mistress outside."
He Sui Chen pulled her out of the quilt and pressed her towards himself. Because she was wearing his shirt, she didn't even have to take off her clothes, which was very convenient.
Gu Qingwu could only reach out and hold the bedside table tightly, her snow-white knees rubbing against the edge of the bed. After a while, she suddenly remembered something important, so she stopped him from continuing. She stood up slightly, and put her slender arms around the man: "Brother, the one this hotel has is not your size."
She had taken a quick look before and didn't want to do it without a condom.
The last time I got pregnant at Nanming Temple, I was worried for two months, afraid that I would really have a child.
Fortunately, He Suichen was still rational. He put her back into the quilt, bent down and kissed her forehead: "I'm going to take a shower."
While he was in the bathroom, Gu Qingwu buttoned up her torn shirt and sat on the edge of the bed with her knees hugged, waiting. The sound of water lasted for nearly half an hour before it stopped. He Sui Chen came out without wearing anything, with a faint scent of bath water.
The hotel provided sufficient heating, so he was not afraid of the cold. As soon as he got into bed, Gu Qingwu hurriedly pulled the quilt over him.
The two of them feel like they are newlyweds after a short separation, and they never feel bored when they are together.
He Sui Chen held her warm body in his arms, clasped her small hands tightly and rubbed them non-stop, and a low, hoarse voice escaped from his thin lips: "After filming this drama, when will you join the crew next time?"
Gu Qingwu shook his head and said softly, "I haven't been in the crew for the past six months. I've been concentrating on studying acting."
She turned down several big-budget scripts, actually to shoot the movie "Snowy Night" that Chu Sanyan was forced to stop.
It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the vacation to enjoy the newlywed life with He Sui Chen.
"Well, Brother Yuan gave me a half-month vacation... Brother, are you in need of a young and beautiful secretary?"
He Suichen smiled, as if he was satisfied that she hadn't joined the team for half a year. He scratched her face with his long fingers and said, "We don't need a secretary. We can keep a lover."
Gu Qingwu bit his fingertips with her snow-white teeth, like a kitten grinding its teeth: "I dare not be your little lover..."
He Suichen's bony fingers slid inward along her lips and teeth, touched the soft tip of her tongue, and slowly wrapped around it. Gu Qingwu's breathing stagnated, and a bright red appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"elder brother."
"Shh, do you want to bite more?"
…
The next day, Gu Qingwu woke up late. When she opened her eyes, she was the only one on the white double bed. She stared out the window for a long time without coming back to her senses, biting her lips subconsciously until she heard the secretary and He Suichen talking outside the bedroom. After a while, the door was pushed open.
He Suichen was wearing a high-end black robe, with cloud patterns embroidered on the silk surface, which had a great drape and made him look taller. His handsome face was raised to face the faint morning light outside the French window, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose, which made him look particularly abstinent, cold and gloomy.
Gu Qingwu stared in shock for a long time. She had never seen He Sui Chen dressed like this before. At this moment, he was like fine black jade, making people want to touch him.
"elder brother… "
"Put on the cheongsam." He Suichen did not hug her, but handed her a dark green silk cheongsam, ankle-length, as if it was carefully tailored for her.
Gu Qingwu was confused until she heard his deep and pleasant voice explaining, "Today is the old patriarch's birthday banquet. I will take you to attend."
On the day of the birthday banquet, Gu Qingwu came to the He family’s century-old house for the second time after two years.
The courtyard was hung with red lanterns inside and outside, and those invited were all direct relatives of the family.
They arrived not too late, and as they walked along the long corridor, they met some guests, all of whom were respectfully led the way by butlers and servants. Only He Sui Chen was not entertained. Such cold treatment made Gu Qingwu feel a little uneasy.
In a blink of an eye, when they stepped into the lobby, He Sui Chen took her hand, and almost instantly everyone present looked over at him implicitly.
Under the dim yellow light, Gu Qingwu, especially in her retro cheongsam, followed the handsome man. The hem of her skirt seemed to glow with a smooth color as she walked. She walked very slowly, and after walking around the screen, the two of them walked up the stairs.
During this process, there was complete silence all around, and only after a few seconds did someone whisper.
He Sui Chen first took her to pay a visit to the old patriarch. There were too many people around the birthday girl, so after finishing his routine, he took her to find a quiet table to sit down. Only a few tables away, he could clearly see that after the people of the He family met the old patriarch, they went to talk to He Yunjian.
As a result, this place seems particularly deserted.
"Your aunt doesn't look well."
Gu Qingwu saw that He Yuliu was also present, also wearing a decent cheongsam and sitting below the main seat. However, no matter how exquisite her makeup was, it could not hide the fact that she was forcing a smile. Occasionally, when she took a sip of tea, the curve of the corners of her lips disappeared.
He Suichen poured her tea slowly, without even looking at the main seat, and actually smiled: "Do you want to go over and talk to your aunt?"
Gu Qingwu's protective spirit came up, and she held his slender wrist and said, "No, she is so cruel to you just to help He Yunjian get promoted, I don't want it."
He Suichen raised his thin lips, as if he didn't care about the attitude of the He family. At the birthday party, his presence was like a transparent person who existed in name only. Only Gu Qingwu felt distressed when she saw him, and she stuck to him and coaxed him with soft words: "Your aunt just glared at He Yunjian. Is this a fight? Brother... you are free and easy."
The birthday party is halfway through.
The young people gradually disappeared from the second floor, and the older people showed up instead. They talked in low voices beside the old patriarch, and their eyes looked around. Except for He Yunjian who was still sitting in his seat sipping tea from a white porcelain cup, only their table was left.
Gu Qingwu was a little confused, and even saw that He Yuliu was helped downstairs by the servants. She quietly asked the man beside her: "Brother, the old patriarch is having a meeting, should we avoid him?"
He Suichen's bony hands were also holding the white porcelain teacup. He had only half a sip left and was feeding her with great interest. He said with a half-smile on his face, "No need."
Gu Qingwu slowly swallowed the tea and asked without making any more conversation: "What did the old patriarch want to discuss?"
"This birthday banquet is also the day when the old patriarch retires."
The answer to this sentence was another man's low voice with a smile on his face. Following the direction of the voice, Gu Qingwu saw that at some point, an elegant middle-aged man walked up to the old patriarch.
Gu Qingwu recognized him. It was this man who went to Nanming Temple in person and handed the patriarch's jade token to He Sui Chen.
"We have met twice by chance, but we haven't introduced ourselves yet, right?"
The elegant middle-aged man was very polite and courteous to Gu Qingwu, without any air of superiority, and his smile was kind: "According to the seniority of the He family, I should be Sui Chen's fifth uncle."
"Hello, Fifth Uncle."
Gu Qingwu stood up and spoke, her red lips moved slightly, but before she could utter a word, the elegant middle-aged man nodded and said, "I know you, Madam Young Clan Leader."
Gu Qingwu could understand every word he said before, except for the last sentence: Madam Young Clan Leader
Her beautiful dark eyes revealed confusion, and she subconsciously turned to look at He Suichen who was sitting next to her. The light from the lantern outlined the contours of his handsome face. He looked calm, and when his long fingers held the hot tea to his thin lips, he paused for a moment without touching the water.
The elegant middle-aged man quickly came to his senses, patted He Suichen on the shoulder, and smiled meaningfully:
"Didn't our new clan leader tell you? From tonight, the old clan leader will step down and no longer manage clan affairs, and Sui Chen will take over... This century-old house will be your newlywed residence in the future."
From tonight on.
The He family has been reshuffled, and some people and things should also be updated.
All the rules, no matter how big, will be set by He Sui Chen, the youngest patriarch in the He family tree.
