Chapter 292: They Look Similar
Translator: _Min_ |
Fu Nan shared his driving motivation, “The reason I entered the entertainment industry was to stand on the biggest stage, to make my father see me and regret abandoning me and my mother!”
Gu Dai looked at Fu Nan with compa.s.sion, apologizing, “I had no idea you went through such experiences. I am sorry for bringing back the bad memories.”
Gu Dai could empathize with the pain of growing up without parental love, knowing all too well how heartbreaking it could be, especially since Fu Nan lost his parents at a young age and ended up in an orphanage.
Fu Nan shook his head, smiling, “It’s okay.”
Gu Dai rea.s.sured him, “The Gu Group is a warm family. Once you join, you’ll feel the warmth of a home. Everyone is easy to get along with, and there won’t be any unspoken rules or such things.”
Fu Nan nodded, but a hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes. For some reason, he felt an innate closeness to Gu Dai and felt a tinge of pity upon learning she wasn’t interested in him personally.
Realizing what he was thinking, he quickly dismissed these thoughts from his mind.
Suddenly, Fu Nan realized something and looked at Gu Dai in astonishment, asking, “The Gu Group… Are you part of the management team?”
Gu Dai responded, then asked, puzzled, “Do I not seem like it?”
Fu Nan nodded, then quickly shook his head after regaining his composure.
Gu Dai was amused by Fu Nan’s behavior, “What’s the matter?”
Fu Nan hurriedly explained, “I mean, you look like a leader. It’s just that most of the management I’ve met were greasy middle-aged men. I’ve never seen anyone as elegant as you, so I was a bit surprised when I first found out.”
Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh.
When Chu Min entered the room, he saw the two chatting happily.
Chu Min asked, “Boss, did you need me?”
Gu Dai nodded, “I’ve signed Fu Nan. Could you take him to the Gu residence later?”
Chu Min immediately objected, “No way, what if something happens to you? I can ask someone else to escort him, but I need to stay to protect you.”
Gu Dai a.s.sured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. It’s Fu Nan who’s in danger from his previous entertainment company. Escort him to the Capital.”
Seeing Gu Dai’s insistence, Chu Min agreed, “Alright then.”
Fu Nan, having heard everything, quietly said, “Miss… Miss Gu Dai, it’s okay, I can go back by myself.”
Gu Dai shook her head, refusing, “Just go back to your hotel and pack your things, then follow Chu Min.”
Chu Min also agreed, “Yes, we’ll leave soon.”
Fu Nan, convinced by their firm words, went to pack his belongings.
Chu Min, upon seeing Fu Nan’s face, was stunned. His gaze lingered on Fu Nan’s retreating figure, not snapping back to reality until he was far away.
Gu Dai, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Min, his voice soft, shared, “Boss, don’t you think Fu Nan looks familiar?”
Although the boy looked handsome that day, his appearance was marred by the dirt from avoiding those people. It was only today that Chu Min had a proper look at him, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
Gu Dai, considering Chu Min’s observation, nodded, “Indeed, there’s a familiar feeling, but I can’t place why.”
Chu Min, with a complex expression, softly said, “Fu Nan looks a bit like Song Ling.”
After pondering Chu Min’s words, Gu Dai agreed, “It does seem so.”
If Fu Nan’s eyes were covered, the lower part of his face resembled Song Ling’s, though Fu Nan’s features were softer compared to Song Ling’s more rigid appearance.
Chu Min sighed lightly, adding, “And Fu Nan also resembles Su Ting.”
Gu Dai compared them in her mind again and found it true, but didn’t dwell on it, saying, “No wonder he looks familiar. Perhaps attractive people do share similarities.”
Chu Min pressed his lips together, wanting to voice his thoughts but hesitated. Eventually, he suppressed his idea.
Gu Dai noticed Chu Min’s unease and inquired, “What do you want to say?”
Chu Min, startled and his eyes flashing with panic, quickly steadied his emotions and said, “I just remembered, I ran into Song Ling at the hospital this morning. He seemed upset when he left.”
Gu Dai nodded, casually saying, “He was supposed to help me find out who’s behind the car incident. I offered him money, and that made him angry..”
