Rebirth: I Am the Wealthy Family (GL) - Chapter 8

Despite Chen Qianyu’s reluctance, she finally walked toward Gu Mingzhu under Ah He’s urging eyes. Today, Chen Qianyu wore a floor-length, water-red dress, which was very inconvenient for walking, and she was not adept at wearing high heels. Previously, she always wore flat shoes, lifting her skirt as she walked, swaying unsteadily, with no elegance to speak of. Just then, a woman passed by, her gaze briefly sweeping over Chen Qianyu. Without anyone noticing, she quietly stretched out her foot and stepped on Chen Qianyu’s skirt.

Chen Qianyu was wearing a strapless long dress today. When the skirt was stepped on, it slid down from her chest. Fortunately, Chen Qianyu had n1pple covers on; otherwise, her cleavage would have been completely exposed. Most importantly, at this moment, someone shrieked, and reporters noticed the commotion. Seeing Chen Qianyu covering her chest, she had been exposed. They immediately began taking pictures non-stop, their eyes filled with excitement. Chen Qianyu had never experienced such a scene. The crowd around her grew larger. Ah He was already rushing toward her.

Just then, a person darted over like lightning, standing in front of Chen Qianyu, holding a stemmed glass, and smiling at the crowd: “Ah He, take Qianyu down to change clothes. Go find my assistant, Su Mo; she has clothes there. Hurry up.”

Ah He had arrived, sweating profusely. He pulled Chen Qianyu and left. Only Gu Mingzhu remained at the scene. Gu Mingzhu said to the reporters who were taking pictures: “I don’t want those photos to leak out, I mean the ones of me and Chen Qianyu. If they do leak out, I think you should know my temper. However, since you are here, I will give you some news, something you can report.” With that, Gu Mingzhu walked elegantly on her high heels toward a woman.

This woman was the popular movie star Feng Tingting, known for playing delicate, frail women. At this moment, she appeared gentle and graceful, looking especially charming and delicate in her simple, elegant dress. She was the one who had stepped on Chen Qianyu’s skirt, and she was also one of the female guests invited by the property developer.

Gu Mingzhu walked up to her. Feng Tingting smiled faintly at Gu Mingzhu, but she didn’t expect Gu Mingzhu to splash the red wine from her glass all over her face. Feng Tingting was momentarily stunned and immediately forced a smile: “Director Gu, I know you didn’t mean to. It’s okay, I’ll go change clothes now.” Feng Tingting pretended to be generous, giving Gu Mingzhu an out.

“No, I did it on purpose! Feng Tingting, don’t you know that I am Chen Qianyu’s fan? If you dare to plot against Chen Qianyu again, the next thing I splash on your face will be sulfuric acid. You’d better watch yourself. You don’t need to attend this event either. And here, I, Gu Mingzhu, solemnly announce to you that your path in the entertainment industry, Feng Tingting, ends here!”

Gu Mingzhu turned around dramatically, leaving a panicked and helpless Feng Tingting behind. The property developer naturally heard Gu Mingzhu’s words and sent someone over to speak to Feng Tingting’s manager.

“I’m sorry, Director Gu’s meaning is already very clear. We are not inviting you to this event. As for the breach of contract fee, we will compensate you double. Please leave here as soon as possible.” The developer’s attitude was very clear.

The media friends at the scene also went wild. Gu Mingzhu actually publicly blacklisted Feng Tingting for Chen Qianyu. Tomorrow’s entertainment headline would surely be this; it was too explosive. Fortunately, Gu Mingzhu was a woman and had a boyfriend before; otherwise, there would truly be problems. As expected, it was the power of a crazy fan.

“Qianyu, how could you be like this? How am I supposed to talk to you?”

Ah He didn’t have the heart to blame Chen Qianyu now, as she had just entered the entertainment industry and didn’t understand many things. Today’s incident was also his fault for being careless and not expecting such a thing to happen. The entertainment industry has always been full of open and secret strife, especially among women, truly comparable to the Legend of Zhen Huan. Ah He was sure that someone had deliberately done this today, but he was far away at the time and didn’t see it.

“Ah He, I know I was wrong. I didn’t expect someone to step on my skirt, and people were taking pictures of me. The photos won’t spread, will they? I’m really scared.”

Chen Qianyu lowered her head, tears silently flowing. She had never encountered such a thing. Her first reaction at the time was to cover her chest, but those reporters didn’t care, and no one helped her. Everyone was watching her make a fool of herself and taking pictures of her. Only Gu Mingzhu’s appearance saved her.

“It’s okay, leave this matter to me. Qianyu, don’t cry. There will be more difficult things in the future. Crying is useless. Your sister never cried before. You need to cheer up too.” Ah He patted Chen Qianyu’s shoulder comfortingly.

“Miss Qianyu, how about this dress? This is a custom-made dress Director Gu ordered from Italy. It’s light green and particularly suits your skin tone. Please come in and try it on.” Su Mo came out with a long dress.

Since Chen Qianyu’s skirt had been stepped on, she definitely couldn’t wear it to the event immediately. Ah He had no choice but to bring Chen Qianyu to find Su Mo. Ah He made a mistake again this time; he forgot that the current Chen Qianyu was no longer the original Chen Qianyu. The original Chen Qianyu would bring at least two outfits when attending events to prevent this kind of situation. This time, Chen Qianyu obviously didn’t have this awareness. These things didn’t require Ah He’s worry before, so it seemed he would have to prepare them from now on.

“En, Qianyu, go change your clothes. You still have an event to attend soon. No matter what happens, you cannot get stage fright. You must see the event through to the end and leave a good impression on your sponsor. Okay, this time it wasn’t your fault. Go change.”

Ah He pushed Chen Qianyu toward Su Mo. At this time, Gu Mingzhu also walked backstage, seeing Ah He sitting there alone, holding an unlit cigarette.

“You smoke?”

Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly, pointing at the cigarette in Ah He’s hand.

Ah He put his hand down and laughed: “No, sorry, I won’t smoke here. I’m just a little bothered. I’ll smoke outside later. Thank you so much today, Director Gu.” Ah He put the cigarette away and sincerely thanked Gu Mingzhu with respect. This was the second time Gu Mingzhu had stepped in to help.

“It’s nothing. Who told you I’m Qianyu’s fan? Someone deliberately tried to set her up today, but the matter is over. On the contrary, I should be the one apologizing to you. For such a thing to happen at our event, startling Qianyu, I deeply regret it and hope you can understand!”

“No, Director Gu, you don’t need to say that. Thank you so much this time.” Ah He was somewhat flattered and immediately waved his hand.
