Chapter 390: Beautifully Done

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“That’s not necessarily true. Female celebrities have a long shelf life, and once they become famous, they can stay in the limelight for a decade or more. 1 heard a director say that she has a ‘talented woman’ image, majoring in music at A University. Just marketing this aspect alone can outshine many illiterate people. Although her music skills may not be on par with yours, she has solidly studied it for over a decade. Her acting is decent, which is enough for now. She’s only nineteen years old, and her future looks promising.”

Gu Ci smiled but didn’t respond. While they were talking, Zhou Jinjin’s agent called. Since she was near the school, she went to meet a director. After saying goodbye to Gu Ci and Qin Wan, she left.

Gu Chuyun also noticed Gu Ci and politely greeted her, “Sister, it’s been a while.”

Polite and gentle, presenting herself as a considerate and obedient younger sister. Gu Ci lightly chuckled and said, “We’re not very close.”

Gu Chuyun lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyes turning red.

One of Gu Chuyun’s classmates protested, “Gu Ci, Chuyun greeted you with good intentions. You’re being too cold.”

Qin Wan sneered, “Is Gu Chuyun mute? If she feels wronged, she can speak up herself. Do you think she’ll share her food with you or let you speak on her behalf? Mind your own business.”

The classmate was furious, “Qin Wan, don’t push it too far. We’re talking to Gu Ci, not you!”

“Did Gu Ci offend you?” Qin Wan frowned. “If you can’t even understand this logic, I’m starting to doubt if someone else took your college entrance exam for you.”

“You…” The classmate turned pale, her eyes red from anger.

Gu Chuyun hurriedly intervened, “Let it go. If my sister doesn’t want to talk to me, it’s my fault. Let’s go.”

Gu Ci chuckled and said, “That’s right, I don’t want to talk to you. So, the farther you stay away from me, the better. Understand?”

Gu Chuyun hesitated.

Her friend was still indignant and wanted to argue, but Gu Chuyun pulled her away. Gu Ci was indeed in a high position now, and Gu Chuyun regretted her weakness. She should have been more obedient and avoided Gu Ci as much as possible to prevent people from digging into her true identity.

She had always deliberately avoided Gu Ci. Whenever Gu Ci went to the cafeteria, she didn’t go. When Gu Ci joined clubs, she stayed away. She tried her best to minimize encounters with Gu Ci to avoid people questioning her true status as a rich heiress.

But today, she couldn’t hold back. Why should she always have to avoid Gu Ci? Why? Gu Chuyun thought to herself. Someday, she would walk confidently in front of Gu Ci, and no one would dare to bully her. She would reclaim what she had lost.

Now, she had succeeded a little.

Life was worry-free, financially comfortable, and although she had family baggage, her future still looked bright. She aimed to become a top female celebrity and plan for a better future using her strengths. In a city like A, with so many prestigious families, it wasn’t just the Lus and the Jiangs.

Gu Chuyun had always been proud, and in her competition with Gu Ci, she was determined to win. After Gu Ci graduated, her best prospects were becoming a doctor. But for Gu Chuyun, it was different. She could bask in the love and applause of countless fans, and in the future, she would also enter the realm of art. She would work hard for it.

“I will succeed!” Gu Chuyun told herself repeatedly. A brief fall to the bottom meant nothing. She would climb back up and become a woman even more dazzling than Gu Ci.

Qin Wan understood some of their grievances, “Are people in the entertainment industry so forgetful? She and your conflict made such a big splash, and now it’s all forgotten. She’s even gaining more fans. I don’t understand.”

Gu Ci whispered, “She didn’t break any laws, she didn’t do drugs, and she didn’t cheat on anyone. The whole thing with Lu Shijie was marketed as a case of a young and naive girl being deceived. Or it was seen as an arranged marriage by her family, which could earn her a lot of sympathy. As for taking over my identity, that was her mother’s mistake. She did benefit from it, but now that I’ve become the major shareholder of Hualan Bank and frequently collaborate with Zhou Lichang, the most important thing is that I’m also at A University. Netizens might wonder what I’ve lost. If I continue to make a fuss, people will think I’m narrow-minded and don’t understand how to repay the kindness of upbringing. Who hasn’t been disciplined by their parents when growing up? True or false heiress arouses sympathy and anger. It’s about one person living in luxury while the other struggles in the dust. Otherwise, how could they earn cheap sympathy from others?”

Qin Wan shrugged, “So, you have to lose a limb or become illiterate to gain sympathy?”

“Something like that!”

Both of them laughed and stood in line for food. They found a quiet corner to eat. While gnawing on spare ribs, Qin Wan asked, “Are you just going to watch her rise to fame, or… in the dead of night, should 1 give her a beating?”

“No need!” Gu Ci chuckled, “I have my own plans.”

After school, Gu Ziyu was held up with experiments, so Gu Ci and Qin Wan went to Gu Chuyun’s house. Since their bankruptcy, they had moved. Gu Wenliang’s bankruptcy didn’t affect Gu Chuyun. Gu Ci’s early stock dividends were in her hands, and she had bought many houses, none of which were seized. Yet they still lived in an old and dilapidated neighborhood. Gu Chuyun had used this environment to market herself as a fallen heiress.

She never lived there herself, using the excuse of being a star to live separately. Gu Wenliang, Lu Man, and Gu Yaozu lived in this place.

Gu Yaozu had originally worked in the Gu family’s conglomerate, but now he had taken up a clerical job. It wasn’t very high or low, but his attitude remained arrogant, and he didn’t learn his lesson. He spent his days hanging out with friends at bars and flirting with girls. In just three months, he had already changed jobs four times. Gu Wenliang and Lu Man were both unemployed, relying entirely on Gu Chuyun for support.

Gu Wenliang had a gambling problem, and the casino was conveniently located not far from their neighborhood. When he lost, he would ask Gu Chuyun for money. She had tried everything to persuade him to quit gambling, but it was all in vain.

Just this month, Gu Wenliang had lost a million.

“Maybe that casino is rigged, did they cheat him?” Qin Wan asked. They had seen Gu Wenliang go in, and Gu Ci had called the police to report it, saying, “Hello, I want to report a gathering of people gambling.”

Qin Wan replied, “Impressive!”

She appreciated this act of righteousness.

Qin Wan continued, “Find some entertainment reporters to expose her. Doesn’t Gu Chuyun like to portray herself as a rebellious rich girl character aiming for a comeback? Let’s give her what she wants. With her family in chaos, her parents living in an old shabby place while she resides in a villa area, it’ll create excellent publicity.”

“Great idea!” Gu Ci asked Zhou Lichang if he knew any familiar entertainment reporters. After he understood the situation, he provided them with contact information. Qin Wan got in touch with them, and the reporters arrived faster than the police. They waited nearby for the news. Qin Wan also gave them the addresses of Gu Wenliang, Lu Man, and Gu Yaozu’s homes and leaked some new information. Once it was confirmed that Gu Wenliang had been arrested, Gu Ci and Qin Wan left..
