Everyone has their fate.

In the entertainment industry, only a few stars shine bright each year.

Many stars, despite heavy investment, never rise to fame.

Gleaming Crystal spent the year on the fringe of the entertainment circle, only landing a few supporting roles.

She could accept that she might never become famous—after all, her looks didn’t match those of top stars, nor did her acting measure up to veteran performers.

What she couldn’t accept was being the only one among the six founding members of Deity Voice left in the dark, unaware of everything.

Si Fuqing must have known about her during the filming of “Seeking the Lost,” yet she chose not to tell her.

Gleaming Crystal felt like she was being made a fool of by the entire Deity Voice.

Especially recalling what she had said in the group chat, it seemed everyone was laughing at her!

After all, she had played a part in founding the society. Why was she the only one out of the loop?

Si Fuqing stopped walking, turned around and said, “What? Am I not a staff member? Could it be that I am an investor?”

She had always been a dedicated worker.

Gleaming Crystal, astonished, retorted, “That’s just an excuse!”

“As for your latter comment, if you hadn’t approached me, I honestly wouldn’t have remembered you at all,” Si Fuqing said coolly. “Let’s not overestimate our importance to each other. We are barely acquaintances from online interactions, not even close friends.”

Gleaming Crystal’s face flushed with agitation, her whole body tense with frustration, “But why didn’t any of you tell me? Were you playing me?”

If Director had informed her that Homeward Deer was Si Fuqing, she wouldn’t have made comments that offended Si Fuqing about her dialogue delivery skills.

“You chose a different path, one that diverged from the original spirit of founding Deity Voice,” Si Fuqing said, not looking at her. “We should not plan together if our paths are so different. You didn’t even come to meet us in person at the start.”

Gleaming Crystal clenched her fingers, filled with regret.

Yes, she hadn’t attended, and so she had missed out.

But was it her fault?

People naturally seek benefits and avoid harm. She was just looking for her own advantage.

Gleaming Crystal pursed her lips, about to speak, when she saw Si Fuqing turning to leave and hurriedly reached out to grab her clothes.

“What are you doing?” a voice demanded. “This is unseemly. Let go!”

Before Gleaming Crystal could react, a black-suited bodyguard twisted her hands behind her back.

A woman removed her sunglasses and glanced at Gleaming Crystal, “A sasaeng fan?”

Gleaming Crystal replied angrily, “I’m not! We are colleagues! What are you doing? Let go of me!”

“Colleagues? Doesn’t look like it,” the woman waved her hand, signaling the bodyguard to release Gleaming Crystal, then stepped forward, “Miss Si, my surname is GU, and I specifically came to thank you.”

She briefly recounted the affair between the LI and GU families from years ago.

In short, the old masters of both families had arranged a child marriage, and she had been forced into marrying into the LI family.

With the death of old Master GU last year, she felt somewhat relieved.

Si Fuqing shook her hands with her, “Hello, Miss GU, congratulations.”

Miss GU scoffed lightly, “Aside from the big brother, everyone in the LI family is worthless, a pity for the big brother.”

The big brother she referred to was LI Yuzhi.

Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

JI Xingzhi had mentioned that twenty years ago, the Supernatural Management Bureau was in turmoil. Sijiu was far from peaceful, a mix of all sorts.

There were Masters of Yin-yang, gu masters, evolved beings… all sorts of extraordinary figures.

She suspected that LI Yuzhi’s missing child might be connected to these individuals.

Especially since after twenty years, the traces were few, and even a Master of Yin-Yang would find it difficult to investigate.

Great Xia was stable, unlike Eastern Mulberry, where wandering spirits could be seen everywhere, and a Master of Yin-Yang could simply catch a wandering spirit to ask for directions.

After chatting with Miss GU for a while, Si Fuqing inquired further, “At the time Mr. LI lost his child, were you in the LI household?”

“Sorry,” Miss GU frowned, “I wasn’t married into the LI family yet, and even after my forced marriage by my family, I never lived with the LI family.”

She sighed, “Big brother has had it tough, I’ve never seen him happy, and I don’t know where that child went.”

Si Fuqing fell into thought.

“Miss Si, you and your friend are gathering, I won’t disturb you further,” Miss GU put on her sunglasses, “I’ve taken over the GU family business, and you’ve been such a great help. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”

Si Fuqing nodded, “Miss GU, you’re too kind.”

“You’re quite popular now, with many people interested in you,” Miss GU said, “Be careful.”

Si Fuqing smiled, “I will be.”

The two exchanged contact information before Miss GU left.
