Chapter 109 - "Mr. Luo Xiu is an angel, not an awful man." (4)

Gu Nian was stunned.

She understood every single noun, pronoun, and verb coming from her but, when all of them were grouped together, they turned into Greek to her.

The message inside the stunned Little Fairy Gu was: “What the heck?”

Nevertheless, Zhuo Yixuan interpreted her wordlessness and failure to defend herself as her guilty conscience.

Zhuo Yixuan snickered. “I had underestimated you. You are a good one, you. Just because Luo Xiu allowed you to celebrate his birthday with him, you took the opportunity to spread rumors among the entire production crew?”

Gu Nian was even more dumbfounded now, “En… entire production crew?”

“Oh, stop with the acting already. You are a brave one for sure. You straight up said that he had a thing for you – you had surely made yourself look good knowing that he would not deny such a thing openly. Are you not worry about becoming a laughingstock?” said Zhuo Yixuan.

“… … … …”

Half a minute had gone by.

Gu Nian, whose brain had received a “heavy blow” after staying up very late the night before, had finally processed what Zhuo Yixuan had just told her.

She looked up expressionlessly, “You meant to tell me that someone spread the rumor that Luo Xiu had a thing for me within the production team?”

Zhuo Yixuan snickered, “Isn’t it kind of late to play dumb now -- --”

“Which idiot said that?!”

BAM!

The entire table in the conference room shook when Gu Nian slammed her hand down on it.

Zhuo Yixuan was startled.

She froze for two seconds before she looked down at the conference room table which was obviously much sturdier than her body. Then she turned to look at the delicate girl that stood 1.6 meter.

The girl remained expressionless still but was much different than her dispirited dissociated state in the past 2 hours. Now she looked like she had two invisible killer cleavers, one in each hand.

Zhuo Yixuan, “… …”

Where blocked by the conference room table, the stiletto under the lady skirt slowly scooted back a couple of centimeters.

As the young miss of the Zhou family, she could not let the little screenwriter overpower her with her aura.

Zhuo Yixuan straightened up her back and did her best to not let her voice tremble. “You, you mean to say that it was you who started the rumor?”

“Of course not.”

A thick killer’s intent.

Zhuo Yixuan, “… … … …”

Alright, seeing how sincere Gu Nian appeared. She would buy it.

Gu Nian was still in her expressionless angry state. “Who was it that started this rumor? Luo Xiu is still a new actor who just started out. Were they trying to ruin his career by spreading such a rumor??”

Zhuo Yixuan hesitated for a second and looked over at Gu Nian dubiously, “Don’t you like Luo Xiu?”

“Of course I like him,” said Gu Nian with no hesitation. Then she looked at Zhuo Yixuan defensively. She paused and said, “But my feelings toward him is not the same as yours. Yours is possessiveness… anyways, I would never spread such a rumor.”

“Oh, quit making yourself sound so classy now. If mine is possessiveness then what’s yours? Altruism??”

“… …”

Zhuo Yixuan crossed her hands in front of her chest and snickered. “I’ve heard from those in the production team that you have a boyfriend, right? And you want to two-time Luo Xiu? That is sure very fearless of you.”

“… …”

Gu Nian did not respond to Zhuo Yixuan. She wasn’t in the mood for that. She was busying replaying yesterday’s birthday party in her head -- --

She had not heard or noticed anything strangeness yesterday and Zhuo Yixuan was already confronting her today. So the rumor must had started just this morning.

And the most likely venue that it had originated from was where they were last night.

Exactly which part of it had gone wrong… …

Gu Nian’s ignoring her infuriated Zhuo Yixuan even more. The power of Gu Nian’s slam from tens of minutes ago lingered, nevertheless.

Zhuo Yixuan’s face changed colors a few times and, noticing that Gu Nian seemed to have made a decision, turned around and was about to leave, she couldn't wait any longer but cried out loud, “Wait there!”

“You have anything else to tell me?”
