Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The reporter looked. This Gu Jingyu was actually protecting Lin Che.

The reporter turned to Lin Che, “Lin Che just began filming and she has already gotten to know such a good senior. Isn’t she lucky?”

Gu Jingyu could not possibly divert this topic as well.

Lin Che smiled and hastily said, “Yes. Senior Gu Jingyu has been very nice to me. He shared with me a lot of his acting experiences.”

Gu Jingyu asked, “How are you going to repay me, then?”

“Huh? Repay?” Lin Che did not expect him to divert the topic yet again, “How can I repay you?”

Gu Jingyu replied, “Shouldn’t you treat me to a good meal?”

“...”

The reporter at the side was going crazy, “You two are going to eat together?”

“She should treat me to a meal obviously.”

The reporter moved closer to them. Lin Che secretly wanted to crush Gu Jingyu but on the surface, she could only force herself to say, “Yes, of course. It’ll be my treat.”

Gu Jingyu laughed, “Forget it. Your salary is too low. If you treat me, you’re going to end up eating grass. I’m just joking with you, silly girl. You don’t have to agree to everything.”

“...” Lin Che’s face dropped. The reporter laughed along.

The interview finally ended. Lin Che got down as Gu Jingyu patted her shoulder, and smiled as he said, “You’re still such a newbie. Keep working hard!”

Lin Che thought to herself silently, If it was not for your meddling, I might have done even better.

However, Yu Minmin soon joined them. She smiled and said to Lin Che, “Not a bad performance. Gu Jingyu really took care of you today, talking so much with you and even joking with you.”

Lin Che asked, “Was he not supposed to make jokes with me?”

“Of course he’s allowed to. However, Gu Jingyu has never been so lighthearted around a fellow actress. He’s usually much better with men and he would completely ignore women. That’s why people suspected that he was gay.”

“Ah...”

The very next day after the interview, Lin Che did not expect to find herself in the headlines with Gu Jingyu yet again.

This time with Gu Jingyu’s protection, the news had all praise for her.

On the other side, Lin Li read the report about herself and became furious.

There was a huge picture of Gu Jingyu and Lin Che while the picture of her covered only a small corner.

She even went all out to wear an expensive, branded skirt so that she could be as dazzling as possible. However, Lin Che’s name was so big now and the report only casually included a line mentioning that Lin Li was also starring in the show.

That was it?

Lin Li was hopping mad. From the table, she forcefully threw the newspaper onto the floor.

Beside her, Han Caiying also did not expect things to turn out like that. She said, “What the hell is going on? To think that Lin Che had this much power.” Seeing how her daughter was compromised in the article, Han Caiying was also angry, “Lin Che must be deliberately outcasting you.”

Lin Li’s face was blood red with anger, “Lin Che... Just you wait. Hmph!”

Meanwhile, at the Gu residence, Lin Che suddenly sneezed.

One of the maids hurriedly went over to her, “Madam, what happened? Is the air-conditioning too cold?”

“Nothing, nothing,” Lin Che smiled as she got up with the newspaper in her hand. Gu Jingze had just returned home. Looking at him gleefully, she said, “I’m in the headlines for the show’s promotions!”

Gu Jingze saw her grinning widely. He walked over to her and took the newspaper only to see the picture of her and Gu Jingyu together.

Lin Che continued, “I never thought I’d see the day when I get to be in the headlines.”

Gu Jingze clenched the newspaper and quietly said, “It’s not like this is your first time.”

Lin Che knew Gu Jingze was referring to the rumors previously, “That’s completely different. That was a rumor. This time, it’s because of my work. I’m in the headlines now as an actress. Of course, it’s different.”

Gu Jingze lifted his head, “It looks like Jingyu took great care of you.”

Upon hearing Gu Jingze, Lin Che nodded profusely, “Yes, yes. Gu Jingyu took rather good care of me. Sister Yu told me that he’s usually not this helpful. Who knew that he could actually be nice? Also, he was so skilled and experienced in handling interviews. No questions phased him. I never knew that he was not only good at acting, but also good at handling reporters. No wonder he’s so famous.”

“...” Gu Jingze’s face soon turned green.

Lin Che did not notice and continued dancing around in excitement, admiration all over her face.

Gu Jingze got up and threw the newspaper onto the table.

“Hey, why did you throw my newspaper?” Lin Che looked up unhappily.

Gu Jingze stopped in his tracks and told the maid, “From tomorrow, cancel the subscription of pointless entertainment news like this.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“What?” Lin Che stood up, “Gu Jingze, why not?”

Gu Jingze replied without turning, “I don’t like you being flirtatious.”

Lin Che’s face turned black, “You... Gu Jingze, you’re biased. Acting is not flirtatious; it’s an art! You know nothing about it!”

Gu Jingze huffed and turned around. His dark pupils were prominent in his cold eyes. He said coolly, “Art is also a form of selling your ****.”

“You...” Lin Che turned green, “Capitalist, money grubber, short-tempered, uneducated, uncultured swine! Your whole body stinks of copper!”

The corners of Gu Jingze’s lips curled up. He laughed coldly and shot her down, “Don’t forget that you’re eating and using my stinky copper.”

Lin Che stood stunned as Gu Jingze called in Qin Hao with a wave of his hand.

Gu Jingze said plainly, “Collect all the entertainment news. Those disgusting rubbish papers mislead the youth. Keeping them around will only cause trouble. Once you’re done, replace them with economic news!”

“Yes, Sir,” Qin Hao looked at Gu Jingze’s stiff expression and then squinted at Lin Che before quietly retreating.

Lin Che’s fingers were shaking as she pointed at Gu Jingze, “You... you’re too overbearing!”

Gu Jingze scoffed coldly. With big strides, he went in.

Looking at Gu Jingze’s cold back, Lin Che sat down angrily. Her nostrils flared as she looked at the newspaper that had been tossed on the floor.

That damned Gu Jingze.

He actually called her flirtatious and accused her of misleading the youth.

Actors were indeed often misunderstood, especially by capitalists like him who believed that they were not doing anything meaningful.

Yes, actors may be overhyped and she had been insulted by many people before.

However, she did not expect Gu Jingze to think that way too.

This guy was really rotten to the core!
