The sweetest in the entertainment industry

This summer was particularly difficult for Gu Lanxi.

When a major turning point in life is about to occur, it is inevitable to feel uneasy due to the unpredictable variables of the future. Even someone as resilient as Gu Lanxi cannot avoid this.

Sometimes, she can't help but lament that time slips through her fingers too quickly, and she'll be turning 24 soon!
But most of the time I think, "Today is so long, why isn't it dark yet?"

She was conflicted and couldn't talk about it with others. To outsiders, she was still the CEO Gu who always seemed to have everything under control and remained calm and composed. However, the troubles that followed were visible to everyone.

This summer, many places experienced droughts. Not only did major companies come up with various ways to do charity work, but celebrities in the entertainment industry also followed suit, donating money and supplies.

Gu Lanxi and her husband certainly wouldn't fall behind others.

Fortunately, he had many capable subordinates and Lu Nanting was available to intervene, so overall, he was quite friendly to Gu Lanxi.

In July, southern China was hit by severe flooding, leaving large quantities of vegetables rotting in the fields, lychees and longans cracking open, sugarcane and corn lodging on a large scale, and the planting of late-season rice delayed...

Hesheng specializes in agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. Its import and export trading company, which it partners with Zhang's eldest uncle, also focuses on agricultural and sideline products. Poor harvests in the fields have the most direct impact on these two businesses.

Fortunately, she never puts all her eggs in one or two baskets. The smart AI company she invested in last year is generating revenue every day. Every time the shareholders hold an online meeting, no one can help but laugh.

Gu Lanxi is once again riding the wave of popularity, with many economic programs wanting to invite her and economic magazines offering her cover stories, all of which she has turned down.

Meat should be hidden at the bottom of the bowl, and wealth should be made quietly—this is a principle she understood from a very young age.

Even if everyone knows she posted again, she can't let anyone know exactly how many she posted.

From a career perspective alone, there aren't many upsetting things.

The movie "Tenants" did not pass the censorship smoothly, but victory is in sight, and it is said that it will be released by the end of the year at the latest.

These past two years have been a downturn for the film and television industry. Under these circumstances, she can still guarantee the release of one or two starring movies a year. Even her haters can't say that she's past her prime.

As for her business, even though she was pregnant, she didn't lose any endorsements; in fact, her commercial value increased significantly.

It's actually quite understandable.

When a prominent actress becomes pregnant and gives birth, it means she can't join film crews or attend events continuously. Without exposure or a steady stream of work, it's perfectly normal for her to fade into obscurity.

Gu Lanxi's pregnancy and childbirth meant that the bond between her business empire and the Lu family had been strengthened by an even stronger one.

Capital Mom instantly transforms into Capital Mom Plus.

According to traditional beliefs, if a son is born, the plus version can even be upgraded to the ultra version.

But the weather this year is really bad.

Following the floods, a typhoon made landfall in Guangzhou.

Her family's old house had long been ruined by her great-grandfather, and they didn't have any industries like orchards, plantations, or farms that were easily affected by the weather. However, many families in the clan did have these, and some of the poorer families even relied on them for a living.

The Gu family has always been very united. In the past, when most of the clansmen were angry with her because of her mother's situation, they still remembered to help her from time to time so that a twelve-year-old child like her would not really starve to death.

Now that she's successful, seeing her poor relatives suffering, she can't help them with physical labor, but she can't help them with money.

However, compared to the tragic state of the ancestral hall, none of this mattered.

In early July, one night, the famous phoenix tree in the west alley of the ancestral hall was struck by lightning. Half of the tree fell down and landed on the west wall of the ancestral hall. A large section of the old wall, which had stood for countless years, collapsed, along with two houses in the row of houses.

The loud noise startled countless people, who put on raincoats and got up to look. They saw that a corner of the ancestral hall had collapsed, and it felt as if the sky had collapsed as well.

The financial loss is secondary; the biggest impact this incident has on the spiritual well-being of the clan is what truly matters!

Young people like Gu Lanxi would seek help from a "psychologist dedicated to the descendants of the dragon" whenever they encountered something important. Those older people who saw this were almost speechless!
Once the rain stopped, the clan committee immediately organized people to prune the phoenix tree and install a lightning rod on it.

In addition, the ancestral hall also needs to be repaired.

These things don't need to be done by Gu Lanxi, who is pregnant; she only needs to pay her share.

For the clansmen, the most important thing is whether this accident will harm the family's fortune or cause any obstacles for the clansmen. In such matters, it is better to believe that it is true than not.

The clan chief invited several masters to come over. After examining the patients, the masters all said that appropriate measures needed to be taken to prevent health problems among the younger members of the clan while also preventing financial losses.

Upon hearing this, the elders naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Before you know it, it's the Ghost Festival, and the 14th of the seventh lunar month is the day the clan chief announces that we should go back to worship our ancestors.

This year's situation is special, and fearing that there might be ominous signs that could bring misfortune to their family, everyone who had the time rushed back.

That spectacle was comparable only to the year when Mother Gu had her accident.

Gu Lanxi had originally planned to donate more money, in addition to her share, and not go back this time.

However, some people in the clan secretly whispered that the wall was splattered with her mother's blood back then, and that this bad luck might be her doing!
This is really upsetting.

For those superstitious elders, it makes perfect sense to connect the two things together, and as a junior, she shouldn't personally get into an argument with them.

In this situation, paying more money would be seen as a sign of guilt, so one could only go back as if nothing had happened, just like the other members of the clan.

Fortunately, she was disciplined enough. After becoming pregnant, she followed her doctor's advice, ate nutritious meals, and hired a professional sports coach to guide her in exercising. Apart from growing a belly, she did not gain much weight during her pregnancy, so flying was not too tiring.

When I go back to my hometown to take care of some business, I naturally have to visit Lu Nanting's maternal family.

Grandma got another amulet for her from the Zhang family, a renowned gynecologist, saying it was to prevent the Gu family's bad luck from bringing her misfortune.

Anyone else might have thought the old lady was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and her family, but Gu Lanxi knew that the old lady was probably upset because she had heard the rumors.

Gu Lanxi was amused by her, but didn't utter a single word of complaint.

Saying those emotional venting things is of no use to her at all; it's just a way to have a good time.

The old lady didn't pressure her; she just felt sorry for her and gave her a bunch of her best treasures.

After finishing her busy work and returning home, Gu Lanxi didn't want to move for several days.

With September fast approaching and the day of meeting Tuantuan drawing ever closer, Gu Lanxi makes a point of checking her home every day to ensure that all protective measures are in place.

It's like a hamster that's become sentient, hoarding things at home every day.

It's too hot, and too much air conditioning makes her uncomfortable, but she has a lot of work to do and can't find a cool place to escape the heat.

If you want to exercise, you can't do most of the activities you like.

In this situation, once she discovered that knitting could effectively relieve her anxiety, things started to spiral out of control.

In the courtyard, next to Lu Nanting's lonely cashmere sweater, there were several racks, and on the racks, in transparent gauze drying baskets, were cute clothes, hats, shoes and socks, washed and drying.

Sizes range from small to large, so children can wear them until they are at least three years old.

It's fluffy and soft, and looks very warm.

These are all things Gu Lanxi has prepared for her unborn child over the past few months.

The baby will be born in October and will be able to go outside for a stroll when the weather turns cool. These things will be very useful then.

Honestly, if Tuantuan wasn't his own child, Lu Nanting would probably be furious. Just look at that heartbreaking comparison!

Although I knew long ago that his status would decline after having children, this decline is too much!

The idea of ​​who came first or who came later is just something his wife uses to appease him!
Lu Nanting was quite awkward for a few days, but Gu Lanxi ignored him and let him process it on his own.

Ironically, it was Lu Nanting who couldn't take it anymore! (End of Chapter)
