Chapter 417 The Unattainable White Moonlight

Lu Shengsheng looked up and met Gu Ronghui's cold gaze. Her throat tightened, and she squeezed out two words: "Dream on."

He picked up a foot and left.

Gu Ronghui's face darkened, and he was about to grab her wrist when Lin Leyang said softly, "Forget it, she's probably just too worried about you, that's why she misunderstood."

"Don't disgust me." Lu Shengsheng stopped and turned around, her eyes seeming to say: Are you out of your mind?! Who cares about that bastard!

"I'll say it one last time, I apologize." Gu Ronghui's forehead veins bulged.

"I'll say it one last time." Lu Shengsheng smiled slightly, enunciating each word clearly: "Dream."

Gu Rong didn't say anything more, but instead took out her phone and dialed a number, "Director Zhou, I won't be investing in your new movie..."

Lu Shengsheng's expression suddenly changed, "Hey, Gu Rong is answering you..."

Gu Ronghui didn't speak, his eyes sweeping over her with a cold indifference as if he were looking at a stranger.

Director Zhou's new film is a turning point for her career, and if she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait again!

Lu Shengsheng clenched her fists at her sides, her hands flexible and yielding, and said, "Miss Lin, right? I apologize for my reckless and nonsensical remarks just now! I'm sorry!!"

Before Lin Leyang could speak, she heard her question Gu Ronghui, "Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Ronghui parted his thin lips slightly, "Yes, I really won't vote anymore. You can handle the rest!"

Lu Shengsheng's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief: "Gu, Rong, Hui! You're playing me?!"

Gu Rong picked up her phone and said in a cold tone, "This will teach you a lesson!"

Lu Shengsheng sneered and nodded, saying, "Fine, Gu Rong is right."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lin Leyang's eyes revealed worry and unease. "Ah Hui, call the director quickly. Don't let this little thing of mine affect her work."

“It’s no small matter that she humiliated you!” Gu Rong said coldly. “She should be taught a lesson so that she doesn’t think she can do whatever she wants just because she’s Mrs. Gu.”

"Ah Hui..." She was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Let's go back."

Lin Leyang sighed helplessly and could only follow him back to the restaurant.

***
Lu Shengsheng only realized she didn't have a driver when she left the Gu family's old house. Her driver had always been the one picking her up and dropping her off. At this moment, Gu Ronghui obviously didn't think of calling a driver for her.

The company driver has also gone off duty, so it's not appropriate to call him over now.

Hesitating for a moment, he decided to call a ride-hailing service. A black sedan pulled up to the side of the road, and Gu Jingchen rolled down the window, revealing half of his face. "Get in, I'll give you a ride."

Lu Shengsheng hadn't forgotten how he used to treat Liang Hanyue, and rolled her eyes. "I don't need your fake kindness."

Gu Jingchen got out of the car and followed behind her. "It's hard to get a taxi around here. It's not safe to call a ride-hailing service at night. It would be troublesome if we were recognized. Or should I call Liang Hanyue?"

Lu Shengsheng turned around and yelled, "Are you sick in the head? You know she and Jin Yanchen are on their honeymoon, why did you go and bother her? If you want to be a fool, don't drag me into it!"

The old Gu Jingchen would have exploded long ago, but now he doesn't have a temper at all.

"Get in the car, I promised her I would look after you."

Lu Shengsheng was speechless. She didn't expect him not to be angry even after she scolded him like that. She angrily opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Before Gu Jingchen started the car, she cursed, "You and Gu Ronghui are both bastards!" He remained silent and did not refute, sighing inwardly: Yes, we are both bastards!
Lu Shengsheng didn't want to go back to the villa, afraid of seeing Gu Ronghui, so Gu Jingchen took her back to her apartment.

Before getting off the bus, Gu Jingchen kindly reminded her, "Big Brother and Sister Le Yang are childhood sweethearts. Big Brother confessed to her back then, but was rejected because Sister Le Yang was going to study abroad."

The implication was that she shouldn't confront Lin Leyang head-on, since first love holds special significance for every man, especially the unattainable "white moonlight."

Lu Shengsheng sneered: "I don't care if they die!"

The car door slammed shut with a loud bang.

Gu Jingchen watched her departing figure, couldn't help but sigh, lit a cigarette, and puffed out smoke.

Gu Ronghui and Lu Shengsheng today are just like I was with Liang Hanyue back then.

When Lu Shengsheng got home, she kicked off her high heels, walked quickly to the sofa, and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"You damned Gu Ronghui, you dog Gu Ronghui, I wish you premature ejaculation, I wish you impotence, I wish your son will never be yours, and that you'll be covered in green grass all over your head!!"

That was the role she had been looking forward to for so long. He destroyed all her hopes so casually just to help his white moonlight get revenge!

Lu Shengsheng cried for a while, then gradually calmed down and went to take a shower and go to bed.

After all, crying won't solve anything. I should get a good night's sleep and try again tomorrow to avoid being replaced.

Who knew that while she was half asleep, she felt the smell of alcohol spraying down on her. She reached out and pushed, but the other person was pressing down very tightly.

The alcohol also carried a hint of perfume.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Shengsheng raised her hand and slapped him, yelling, "Get out!"

The burning passion in Gu Rong's eyes was shattered by her slap. Her hand, now filled with coldness, was gripped and pinned against the bed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Shengsheng, what's wrong with you now?"

Lu Shengsheng retorted defiantly, "You pledged your loyalty to your white moonlight one minute, and then you turned on me the next. What kind of despicable person are you?"

No one had ever dared to curse him like that before; Lu Shengsheng was the only one to do so.

"I think you've been living too carefree lately and have forgotten who you are," Gu Rong said through gritted teeth.

"I'm your mother!!! Do you want to go back to your hometown now?!" Lu Shengsheng was never one to swallow her anger, and she retorted without hesitation.

Since he's already withdrawn his investment, why should I put up with it?
Gu Rong looked back at her as if she wanted to devour her.

"Lu Shengsheng, let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and left, nearly kicking the door down. "I'll be stubborn until you die and then dance on your grave!"

Gu Rong turned around and left without looking back.

Lu Shengsheng's eyes reddened with anger again, and she punched the pillow a few times. "Gu Ronghui, you bastard! If I beg you one more time, I'll die! And I'll go to the eighteenth level of hell after I die!"

The next day, before dawn, Lu Shengsheng received a call from Zhao Xuan. Director Zhou informed her that her leading role had been canceled, and she no longer needed to go to sign the contract that day.

Zhao Xuan yelled at her on the other end of the phone: "Is your brain filled with water? What were you doing arguing with President Gu! Now you've lost the duck that was almost in your hand, are you satisfied now?"

Lu Shengsheng didn't explain the humiliation she suffered at the Gu family's house, but simply asked, "Can you get Director Zhou's schedule? I want to try to get it from him again!"

"With acting skills like yours, without President Gu's investment, who would want you as the leading lady?" Zhao Xuan scolded her, then left a message before hanging up: "Wait for my news."

[First Update] I wanted to try something new with this side story, but I don't know if you guys can accept it! If you really can't, please be gentle with your criticism. [Silently crawling away with a pot on my head...]
