The sweetest in the entertainment industry

It's a rare treat to go back to my hometown, and a bunch of relatives are eagerly waiting for me. Needless to say, there's plenty of delicious food and fun activities to do. After we meet, we inevitably have to talk about business.

Either way, it's more important than any weirdo you might encounter on the street.

Gu Lanxi simply thought she had been bitten by a dog. Once Lu Nanting finalized his revenge plan and implemented it methodically, even the feeling of being bitten by a dog disappeared.

Honestly, if they weren't kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the child suffer, they would never have had the chance to speak to her, let alone know her contact information and stay in her car for so long.

Seeing that Lu Nanting was still in low spirits after waking up from his nap, clearly still angry, she even had the time to try and comfort him:

"Meeting strangers is like opening a blind box. Occasionally, you'll get a rare item, which means we're lucky. At least we get to witness biodiversity. Don't you agree?"

Lu Nanting scrolled through the trending topics list without saying a word.

For him, this incident was so disgusting that it probably ranked in the top ten of his most hated events. In addition, since it had just happened and hadn't gained enough attention yet, and the other party hadn't faced any retribution, he naturally wouldn't be able to let it go so quickly.

Seeing that he had been browsing the trending topics list for more than ten minutes, Gu Lanxi simply took his phone, hugged his head, and gently stroked it.

"There are actually more good people in this world. If I encounter something like this again, I will still help. As for whether the person I help is good or bad, it's not that important when it comes to personal safety. As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough."

Having said that, he stopped talking about the matter and instead brought up the gathering that evening:

“There are quite a few young people in my family who have ideas, and I’m really looking forward to their entrepreneurial plans.”

The two arrived in Guangzhou a little after 3 p.m., and instead of going back to their own home, they went straight to their grandparents' place to stay.

When I woke up, it was already past five o'clock.

After getting ready, we're almost ready to head out.

That evening, the two of them had dinner with a bunch of relatives at the Zhang family's new shop, which offered better privacy.

Gu Lanxi donates a lot of money to charity every year. In addition, her growth process is inseparable from the help of her clan. She understands all too well how important family unity is.

Now that she's powerful, she naturally wouldn't mind supporting the younger generation in her family's business ventures, nor would she stand idly by when relatives need help.

However, perhaps because she is relatively young, the elders rarely speak up unless something serious happens.

On the contrary, the younger generation, after graduation, don't want to work for others and want to open a shop or something, so they like to secretly ask her for investment.

Gu Lanxi has her own set of standards for this. Basically, by looking at the other party's proposal and listening to their plans, she can get a rough estimate of their chances of success.

Invest more in projects I believe in, and less in projects I don't believe in, without expecting anyone to pay me back.

Because of her keen eye, even those from wealthy families like to consult with her before starting their own businesses.

Gu Lanxi never refuses or hesitates to spend time with people whenever she has the chance, so most people who can establish a relationship with her, whether they are from her family or relatives, have a very good impression of her.

When the two finished getting ready and came out, they saw the old lady listening to the radio in the living room.

It was already quite hot in Lingnan at this time of year, but the old lady was still wearing a maroon padded jacket with floral patterns.

The Cantonese opera was played very softly, and the piece being performed was "A Match Made in Heaven," adapted from Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."

The old lady was afraid she wouldn't hear clearly, so she sat down next to the radio.

Gu Lanxi listened intently, and after making out what was being played, she couldn't help but smile. It must be said, while the old lady loved classical things, she hadn't forgotten to keep up with the times; she was a remarkably youthful person.

Gu Lanxi approached and raised her voice a little, indicating that she could listen to it to her heart's content.

The old lady simply turned off the radio, then patted the person next to her, gesturing for her to sit down.

The old lady was overjoyed that her grandson brought his wife home, who was pregnant. However, the young couple had driven for five or six hours and encountered some unpleasant things along the way, so they kept yawning as soon as they arrived home.

The old lady didn't want to disturb their sleep, so she listened to the radio quietly because she was really bored.

Now that the young couple was awake, they naturally didn't care about any of that.

Gu Lanxi understood her thoughts and obediently sat down next to her. The old lady immediately grabbed her wrist, mysteriously reached into her pocket, and took out a pointed amulet, gesturing for her to hold it in her palm.

After marrying into the Zhang family, the old lady helped the old man of the Zhang family open a restaurant. She was a warm, generous and eloquent person, but unfortunately she never learned to speak Mandarin in her life.

Although the old lady also loved her two granddaughters-in-law who couldn't understand her, her favoritism towards Gu Lanxi, the local girl, was quite obvious.

For example, this talisman—back when my two sisters-in-law were pregnant with Jianing and Weichen, the old lady never prayed for it for them.

The old lady kept muttering to herself, but Gu Lanxi wasn't impatient at all. She talked to the old lady for a long time before finally figuring out what the peace charm was all about.

However, the Zhang family had a renowned medical expert in their ancestry, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Countless children were safely delivered through her care throughout her life; she was practically an ancient version of Lin Qiaozhi.

The Zhang family firmly believes that the blessings of their ancestors are very effective. Whenever someone becomes pregnant, they prepare offerings for this ancestor separately. Even if the incense is usually very strong, they will add more offerings on this occasion, just to coax her to bless them more.

Chaoshan people pray for blessings by saying "May the Lord protect your fortune," while Cantonese people prefer to say all sorts of auspicious words. When Gu Lanxi was a child, she would follow her grandparents to worship the gods and say things like "May everything go smoothly." Therefore, she was very grateful for her grandmother's good intentions.

Seeing her hang the amulet around her neck, the old lady smiled broadly, knowing that the two of them had things to do that evening, and didn't ask her to stay.

The two went out, and Lu Nanting drove. Gu Lanxi knew what he was bothered by, so she checked the trending topics for him from the passenger seat.

I was shocked when I saw the result!

But after that eccentric couple returned home, they quickly became a trending topic.

The couple had a fight and ended up leaving their child at a service area, which was so outrageous that it attracted a crowd of onlookers. With Lu Nanting adding fuel to the fire, the story quickly went viral.

The comments section was filled with insults, but the two of them didn't care.

The couple, who had been arguing fiercely before, stopped fighting after they became famous. They started a live stream overnight, using various methods to play the victim and gain attention.

"That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to, how could I not love him? I was just emotional at the time, that's why I did something I deeply regret, sob sob~ Luckily, some kind people saw it and didn't stand idly by, and safely returned the child, otherwise..."

The woman said a few words in a coquettish voice and then started to cry.

Believe it or not, many people who were unaware of the truth began to believe that she really had her reasons.

Gu Lanxi glanced over and saw that the follower count had already reached 10.8!

I'm so angry! (End of Chapter)
