Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

The next day, Gu Zhiyan did not return to the film set as originally planned, but instead spent another day with Chen Duling.

There's no way around it, this girl is too competitive, she always wants to win.

She dared to be so crazy on her first try, but her body couldn't handle it as well as Cheng Xiaoqiang's, which resulted in her not being able to get out of bed in the morning.

I estimate that she will learn from this experience and be more sensible.

"Dudu, breakfast is ready." Gu Zhiyan brought breakfast to the bedside.

At this moment, Chen Duling reverted to her obedient girl demeanor, nodding shyly: "Mm."

Thinking about her crazy behavior yesterday, she felt extremely embarrassed.

"Brother Xiaoyan, I'm sorry to have kept you from going back to filming."

Gu Zhiyan shook her head: "It's okay, it's not too urgent. I'm happy to spend another day with you."

"Brother Xiaoyan, you're so kind."

Chen Duling's face beamed with happiness.

The two stayed in their hotel room all day and didn't even leave the room.

……

Gu Zhiyan received an unexpected phone call a few days after returning to the film crew.

The call was from Fan Bingbing, who had been out of the public eye for a long time since the dual contract scandal.

"Little brother, it's really inappropriate to bother you at this time, but I want to see you. If it's inconvenient for you, then that's fine."

When she said this, Fan Bingbing was already prepared to be rejected.

After all, she is now someone that everyone avoids at all costs, and everyone is afraid of having any connection with her.

Let alone outsiders, when a person falls on hard times, even their closest relatives will distance themselves from them.

Although Fan Bingbing understood these people's reactions, she still felt extremely disheartened.

With a myriad of emotions swirling within her and nowhere to confide in, she longed to talk to someone and pour her heart out, and the first person that came to mind was Gu Zhiyan.

Once the thought arises, it's hard to suppress.

So, she dialed Gu Zhiyan's number on a whim.

"OK."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Fan Bingbing was surprised that Gu Zhiyan agreed so readily, and subconsciously asked another question.

"I said yes, when are you coming, sister?" Gu Zhiyan repeated.

"I'll book a flight right away and arrive in Shanghai tonight," Fan Bingbing replied hastily.

At this moment, her heart felt warm. To be honest, her relationship with Gu Zhiyan was just good, not that of close friends. Gu Zhiyan was taking a risk by meeting her.

In the past few months, she has witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and Gu Zhiyan's actions have deeply touched her.

Around 7 p.m., Gu Zhiyan received a call from Fan Bingbing.

"Little brother, I'm in the parking lot outside the hotel, a black Mercedes, license plate number xxx. Just get in the car."

As soon as Gu Zhiyan left the hotel, he spotted Fan Bingbing's car. He had just walked to the car when the door opened.

Fan Bingbing looked at him with a smile: "Little brother, long time no see, come on up."

"Sister Bingbing, it's been a long time."

Gu Zhiyan greeted them and got into the car.

Compared to the last time we met, Fan Bingbing looked noticeably more haggard, but she was still just as beautiful.

Gu Zhiyan and Fan Bingbing sat side by side in the back seat, neither of them speaking, and the car fell silent for a moment.

Fan Bingbing sat there quietly, her eyes lowered, as if surrounded by endless sorrow. Her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

"Sister...Brother Yan."

The sudden sound broke the silence inside the car.

"Oh, Chengcheng."

Gu Zhiyan hadn't noticed that the driver in the driver's seat was actually Fan Chengcheng.

After greeting Fan Chengcheng, Gu Zhiyan turned to Fan Bingbing and said, "Bingbing, let's find a place to sit down first. You haven't had dinner yet, have you? We can have dinner together."

Fan Bingbing shook her head and said, "Little brother, no need. If we're photographed together, it'll cause you trouble."

Fan Bingbing had planned ahead for the reason she let Gu Zhiyan get in the car directly instead of making a reservation at a restaurant for him to go there.

There was only one goal: to avoid causing trouble for Gu Zhiyan.

Recently, there have been many voices online criticizing Gu Zhiyan, calling on relevant departments to investigate his taxes.

As the most popular artist today, with the highest pay and commercial value, and consistently ranking first in the list of highest-paid celebrities, his goals are naturally the biggest. With the help of some people, this kind of voice is quite loud.

If Gu Zhiyan were to be photographed meeting with her at this time, it would definitely lead to many negative consequences.

"It's alright, Sister Bingbing, what trouble could there be? I have nothing to hide."

Gu Zhiyan wasn't afraid of any of that; in fact, he was eager to have his taxes checked so that he could clear his name.

Otherwise, these rumors would have been circulating for who knows how long, and some brainless netizens who were led by the nose by those with ulterior motives might even have believed that he had evaded taxes.

He didn't want to be splashed with dirty water for no reason.

As for who was behind this, Xiuxiu is investigating.

If Gu Zhiyan catches who it is, he will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget.

"A straight body casts a straight shadow, a straight body casts a straight shadow," Fan Bingbing muttered to herself, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is this a sarcastic remark about my sister?"

Gu Zhiyan waved his hand: "No, absolutely not, I just said it from the bottom of my heart."

"Sigh, my sister has really gone astray," Fan Bingbing sighed. "Everyone hates me now, so I'd better avoid causing you as much trouble as possible. Just chat with me in the car for a while."

"Alright, I'll listen to Sister Bingbing."

Since Fan Bingbing insisted on this, Gu Zhiyan went along with it.

To be frank, the other party was still considering his best interests.

"Chengcheng, get out of the car and find somewhere to wait. I have something to discuss with your brother Yan," Fan Bingbing instructed Fan Chengcheng in the front seat.

Fan Chengcheng: ...

Why does he act like an outsider?

However, he obediently got off the car; he didn't dare to disobey his sister's arrangements.

"Little brother, can I lean on your shoulder?"

As soon as Fan Chengcheng got out of the car, Fan Bingbing leaned on Gu Zhiyan's shoulder.

She didn't know why, but at that moment she felt incredibly at peace.

Gu Zhiyan did not refuse Fan Bingbing's offer and asked, "Sister Bingbing, how have you been lately?"

"It's alright, the matter has been settled..."

Fan Bingbing knew what Gu Zhiyan wanted to ask, so she explained the final outcome of the matter.

Although Fan Bingbing was unwilling to accept the outcome, she calmly accepted it.

This is the best possible outcome. Although he can no longer stay in the entertainment industry, at least he still has his freedom.

After listening to Fan Bingbing's story, Gu Zhiyan said, "Sister Bingbing, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Fan Bingbing laughed and said, "No need. I'm already very happy that you have this thought. Don't worry, even if I can't make it in the entertainment industry, I'll still have enough to eat and wear."

That makes sense; after all, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

In her previous life, after retiring from the entertainment industry, Fan Bingbing's beauty business was also very successful.

There's no way around it, everyone recognizes her face; she's known as the "confused yet beautiful ex-wife" among netizens.

Gu Zhiyan nodded: "Okay, just let me know if you need anything."

"Little brother, I'm so happy you came to see me today. Here's a reward for you!"

Before she finished speaking, Fan Bingbing's luscious red lips were already pressed against hers...
