CH 17

The butler talked with Yin Moshu in the latter’s room for more than two hours, his mouth turned dry, and only then was he given Yin Moshu’s forgiveness.

Although he felt that Yin Moshu didn’t know why he did it.

But it didn’t prevent the butler from feeling as satisfied as having completed a major mission.

When he came back, Gu Jinmian was still paralyzed on the bed.

—Must be too tired today, mentally.

The butler quietly went down to prepare hot milk for him.

Gu Jinmian turned over on the bed again, and the words “big” with paralyzed face salted fish fitted him.

After returning to the room and calming down, the embarrassment of social death that had been forcibly suppressed during the day began to ferment again.

He hadn’t deleted that post in his circle of friends yet, he thought that doing so would only appear as a cover up, after thinking about it, he reposted another one.

[Because what I like is someone else, remember not to make trouble for me and affect my pursuit of that someone.]

It was at the same time weird and awkward.

But it could save a little bit of that lost face.

Especially for that “hope Ji Nan would be aware of it”.

After the Second brother took the lead in commenting and supporting, Gu Jinmian took a step back from the cliff of that social death.

However, the problem now was not only the social death, he felt that there was also a problem with Yin Moshu’s embrace during the day.

Maybe he shouldn’t have hugged like that, this hug had gone on a wrong path, and he didn’t know how much rounding up he had to do in the future.

“Young Master, have some supper.” The butler brought another supper.

Gu Jinmian raked a handful of hair, and got up in a sad way.

“Actually, I was wrong about this matter. If I were Ji Nan and Hang Yuanting, I would also be bothered.”

According to the information he had so far, this was indeed the case.

The other side was in love with each other, and “he” was stalking and pestering them endlessly, wouldn’t this be annoying to death?

Hearing what he said, the butler immediately put on a straight face, and disagreed very much, “Young master, how can you say that, you don’t know your reputation in the circle, it is likely that Hang Yuanting had done something behind the scenes .”

He really didn’t know a thing.

Yet he wanted to know, he wanted to know what happened with them, but who was he going to ask.

Gu Jinmian, who was clutching his little vest tightly, was worried.

“I have to leave as soon as possible.”

This was Gu Jinmian’s decision after thinking about it.

On the one hand, if he stayed here, he was afraid that he wouldn’t know how to deal with Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan, and on the other hand, as he’s here, his cub would still had to act with him, thus it would be better for him to leave directly and only come back after that “split up”.

The more Gu Jinmian thought about it, the more he felt that he had to leave, but before leaving, he had to do what he had to do.

Everyone found that after Gu Jinmian came to the set the next day, he no longer pestered Yin Moshu.

Some people wondered if the two were at odds, until they saw the two staring at each other.

The crew was getting more and more busy.

This was Yin Moshu’s first time making a movie. Several directors often surrounded him to give him lectures, plus make-up artists and photographers surrounded him, that he was almost not seen.

Gu Jinmian, who was sitting far away chatting with Liu Mengmeng, took a look, then glanced over again, stood on his tiptoe and looked again.

Yin Moshu, while a make-up artist was working on his makeup, and while listening to the director’s speech, suddenly raised his head.

In that gap between the crowd, as if feeling that scorching stare that passed through.

The people around him were puzzled and followed his gaze, only to see Gu Jinmian’s little head “shuo” turned around and stared at his feet.

Ah.

Big pervert gets shy too?

This is too… sweet!

It must be true love!

Liu Mengmeng, who was watching from a close distance, was even more critically attacked.

F**k, someone, come and send her to Syria!

More people in the production team believed that Gu Jinmian liked Yin Moshu, and many people secretly kowtowed to him.

Even if they never stood alone together.

Only Hang Yuanting gritted his teeth.

You like Yin Moshu? Heh.

Gu Jinmian’s paralyzed face showed a hint of pride.

Today’s a hard work performance.

He couldn’t go to Yin Moshu’s side, and the logistics work had helped Yin Moshu do a good job as well, hence he’s able to do his own thing now.

In the afternoon, when the crew had dinner, Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an sat down to eat together.

Bai Xinyu was telling Du Bai’an that Gu Jinmian liked Yin Moshu, this thing that shattered his world view.

Du Bai’an asked, “Are you shocked or suspicious, or are you worried that they are together?”

Bai Xinyu couldn’t answer.

He didn’t know if it’s because they had been together for a long time recently, but Du Bai’an actually understood his magical brain circuit, “Are you afraid that the biological father will become the stepfather?”

Bai Xinyu suddenly covered his mouth.

Du Bai’an struggled a bit, followed his nervous gaze to see Gu Jinmian walking slowly.

Bai Xinyu sat upright as if he was facing an enemy.

However, Gu Jinmian didn’t even look at him at all, and simply said to Du Bai’an, “Can we have a chat?”

The nervous person became Du Bai’an, after all he experienced Gu Jinmian’s treatment before.

Gu Jinmian seemed to notice his nervousness, he then pointed to a tree not far away and said, “Let’s chat there.”

Crowd nearby, not chatting alone in a room.

Du Bai’an nodded.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Bai Xinyu, who was neglected, felt a little…lost?

Bai Xinyu pondered while looking over from his shoulder: What are they going to talk about, why do they have to avoid him, can’t they talk together here?

It was unknown which staff member put three small camp stools under the tree to enjoy the shade. Gu Jinmian sat down on one of the small stools first.

Since that time in Gu’s Manor, they hadn’t been alone together. Gu Jinmian saw him like a stranger, thus he didn’t take a second look. He was different now, and everyone in the production team liked him.

Even so, when it was only the two of them, Du Bai’an still felt a little nervous.

However, when the Young Master of Gu’s Group was sitting on the small stool and looking up at him with a paralyzed face, Du Bai’an became much less nervous.

He sat down opposite Gu Jinmian.

“First of all, I want to apologize for hitting you that day.” Gu Jinmian said.

He didn’t forget the whip marks on Du Bai’an’s body the first day he transmigrated in.

Du Bai’an didn’t expect him to apologize, he hurriedly shook his head, “Everyone chooses what they need, I did it voluntarily.”

“Abuse is still wrong.” Gu Jinmian explained, “During that time, I was stuck in a painful mood and couldn’t get out, however it won’t happen again in the future.”

Du Bai’an didn’t know why he wanted to explain, and looked at him quietly.

“The X-S group is a group with a two-year contract. More than a year has passed, and it is about to be disbanded. What are your plans for the future?”

Before he could answer, Gu Jinmian covertly spoke ill of others, “Do you want to go back to your original company? I don’t think so. If your agent can easily send you to me, then that’s not a good thing.”

He also said little things about Li Yuan, “Would you like to go with Li Yuan to that platform where you made your debut? She’s biased.”

Listening to Gu Jinmian, who was sitting on the small stool and speaking ill of others, made Du Bai’an want to laugh. He became completely relaxed, “Why do you say these things?”

Gu Jinmian stopped going in circles, and stated his purpose, “I opened an entertainment company, and I want to sign you in. Of course, I will pay the liquidated damages.”

When Du Baian signed the contract with his original company, he was still a trainee, and the liquidated damages were not high, thus he could still afford it.

Du Bai’an looked very surprised, he hesitated and said, “I took the initiative to go to your room, you clearly know that I am such a person, why do you want to sign me in?”

“What kind of a person?” Gu Jinmian looked straight at him.

Du Bai’an was wearing very simple clothes, and it was hard to tell its brand.

Actually, it really had no brand.

They were all the most basic cheap clothes he secretly bought online.

He especially liked to wear white, not only because white clothes were versatile, but also because cheap clothes of other colors may fade after washing a few times.

It’s hard to imagine a star like this.

If there were other choices, how could the most timid person in the team, who was even afraid of banquets, walk into the room of the notorious Gu Jinmian.

Du Bai’an was also a poor and pathetic person.

He grew up in a single-parent family and lived with his mother who was in poor health. He lived a very hard life.

Because of this reason, he was cautious at school, did not participate in any activities that cost money, did not socialize with classmates, and only helped his mother sell vegetables after school. Apart from school and home, the place he went to the most was the hospital.

The hemp rope is broken from the thin part, and bad luck always entangles the poor.

(t/n hemp rope is broken from the thin part-It is a metaphor that where the hemp rope is usually broken, it is broken at a thin and long place. The enlightenment from this sentence is that people must pay attention to their own weaknesses. Weaknesses are often the most critical and deadly places in people. At the same time, it also reminds us that on the one hand, we must improve our abilities and not be that thin hemp rope, and strive to become more deep, broad, and wide, and become a thick hemp rope, so that we can better deal with the difficulties in life)

(t/n  bad luck always entangles the poor-means that bad luck seems to often befall on the poor.)

(TL: In a sense, the thin hemp rope and the miserable person are the same to some extent. They both have the characteristics of poor ability to deal with emergencies. In other words, the poor will become even poorer if they encounter bad luck.)

His mother became seriously ill and urgently needed surgery. Neighbors and relatives who lent money these years became frightened and closed their doors. Just when he was desperate, his father appeared and took him to borrow money in person.

At that time, he was young, impatient, and unprepared for his father, thus he was taken by his father to borrow usury.

He became burdened with more and more debts. On the one hand, his dependent mother needed higher and higher medical expenses; on the other hand, his debts piled up and was often threatened by the creditors, layer upon layer of exploitation from companies and platforms. He only had little resources, and couldn’t make much money at all, thus he finally accepted the advice of his agent.

“I think you are fine except that you are a little silly.” Gu Jinmian said with a stiff face.

When reading the original book at that time, Gu Jinmian couldn’t understand, whether it was his weird pride or something, why didn’t he just borrow money from his teammates, apart from others, Bai Xinyu himself was also a rich young master.

Seeing Du Bai’an looking at him in surprise, thinking that he didn’t understand what he said, Gu Jinmian explained, “You are very good and have great potential, but you just haven’t found the right way yet.”

Gu Jinmian thought that the most important thing for an artist was to have characteristics.

In fact, Du Bai’an’s characteristics had already been revealed.

As the protagonist of the original novel, no matter how much Gu Jinmian disliked him, Bai Xinyu was not without his strengths. For example, he was naturally keen and had a strong perception of people and things.

Such a person was very willing to talk to Du Bai’an.

Du Bai’an had a comfortable aura that made people feel at ease and peaceful.

He’s not suitable to be an idol who sings and dances on stage.

In the original novel, later, Du Bai’an participated in a slow life variety show, which became very popular. The program crew seemed to have discovered a treasure, and the next season , they directly asked him to play the leading role. Afterwards, it blew the entertainment circle like a quiet and fresh spring breeze.

In that peaceful and comfortable environment, his creative talent also emerged quietly and he wrote many popular songs.

Because of his conscientiousness and unique popularity with the audience, his live broadcast sales also took off, and he became a top anchor.

Overall, he was not worse than first-line stars.

It’s a pity that his past black history was dug out in the end, and the “□□” and “having a sugar daddy” etc. caused him to collapse and have a disastrous ending.

“You said Li Yuan was biased, then what about you?” Du Bai’an clenched his hands, pretending to be relaxed.

Gu Jinmian didn’t expect that this was what he cared about.

“To be honest, I’m more biased, extremely biased.” Gu Jinmian said.

Du Bai’an pursed his lower lip.

“However, I will also be responsible for my employees.”

Du Bai’an looked at him again.

Gu Jinmian’s face was paralyzed, with a solemn expression, “Du Bai’an, if you enter my company, I will protect you.”

“I won’t let people bully you, and no one will force you.”

Du Bai’an’s eyelashes trembled, and his eyes drooped down deeply.

Seeing that he hadn’t let up yet, Gu Jinmian continued, “I’ll pave a clean and safe road for you, and as for where you can go, it’s all up to you.”

He said all he could say.

Du Bai’an remained silent.

Gu Jinmian was a little frustrated, and at this moment, seeing Bai Xinyu who had already “passed by” seven times, coming over again, being in a bad mood, he turned his head angrily.

Seeing Gu Jinmian’s frighteningly cold face, Bai Xinyu paused in his footsteps, and reacted after two seconds, “It’s not good, it’s not good! Yin Moshu was beaten!”

Gu Jinmian:”???”
