"Mr. Gu, no need to be so polite! Anyway, the filming hasnât started yet, feel free to chat! Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu went out of their way to come all the way from Xicheng to Linyang for a visit, of course thatâs allowed!" The director spoke very courteously.
He hadnât had much opportunity in the past to socialize deeply with Gu Liancheng, but this time, thanks to Heather, who knows...
Over there, Qianxun already knew there wouldnât be any issues with Gu Liancheng, so she directly pulled Heather over.
Although she knew everything had already been agreed upon, Heather still politely said to the director, "Director, Iâll step out for a moment. Iâll be right back."
"No problem, no problem! Wei Wei, take your time. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu traveled all this way, chat as long as youâd like. Itâs fine!"
She smiled, then followed them out.
The bystanders watching quietly had timid expressions and began whispering: Looks like we really canât afford to provoke Heather in the future... Who knows what kind of even scarier identity she might reveal?
...
A quiet coffee shop.
It was work hours, so there were hardly any people at this time.
Gu Liancheng propped his hand against his temple, his eyes slightly narrowed as he studied Heather. He said, "Miss Hai, you can remain silent now, but anything you say may be used as evidence in court."
Heather had long anticipated that this day would come. Ever since the media exposure, she knew this couple would find their way to her sooner or later.
So, she smiled beautifully, almost ingratiatingly, and admitted, "Alright, alright, I admit it, I admit it. I knew it wouldnât be long before you showed up."
"Sis... youâre really too much..." Qianxun pouted, "Why didnât you stay in touch with us at all?"
"Do you know since the day you disappeared, Qianxun has been worried about you all the time?" Gu Liancheng said in an exasperated tone. "Iâve worried myself sick because of you."
Heather held onto Qianxunâs hand with a look full of apology: "Sorry, sorry, for making my Little Qianxun worry."
"But no matter what, seeing the news, I was actually very happy because I could finally be certain that you were okay," Qianxun finally felt relief, "But... why does your face look like this? Who did this? Was it that Luo Xuan?"
Heather smiled slyly, shook her head, glanced around, and then tore away a small piece of her disguise for them to see.
Qianxunâs eyes widened: "How can it look so real... so lifelike... but why?"
"Too much hassle," Gu Liancheng had already figured everything out beforehand, "Knowing your sisterâs personality."
"Haha, Fourth Master really understands me," she said, beaming brightly as she took a sip of orange juice. "Itâs just all too much hassle. Actually, Iâve been staying in Linyang for over two months now, and everythingâs been peacefulâthe people who bumped into me mostly avoided me like the plague. But... lately, it seems like Iâm cursed. Strange things keep happening. I started out as a minor character, but now Iâve somehow ended up like the female lead. Isnât that just weird?"
"Pfft..." Qianxun burst out laughing. "Sis, do you know what this is called? This is called âa true gem will always shine.â Youâve got the aura of a diva; no matter how hard anyone tries, it canât be hidden."
After exchanging pleasantries, Qianxun returned to the main topic: "So, whatâs the deal with that female corpse?"
"Itâs a long story. Basically, itâs because of Luo Xuan. There are too many people here watching, so letâs not talk about it now."
"True," Qianxun didnât press further. "Sis, where are you staying now? How about coming to the hotel tonight and sleeping over with me? We can talk properly then."
