Lin Nuan hesitated for a second and replied, “I’ll be there on Sunday, nine o’clock sharp.”
She hung up the phone, and Bai Xiaonian grasped her by her arm. She pulled her outside since they were barely on schedule. “I vaguely heard it was Su Manman on the other end? She did a great job supporting you on Weibo last time! Did she ask for a favor this time?”
Lin Nuan nodded. “She asked if I could take a scene without a script in her movie—just for a few seconds.”
She put her phone in her bag and ran to the elevator with Bai Xiaonian to catch it in time.
…
In the car garage, Bai Xiaonian’s A4 car that was parked near the elevator door was sc.r.a.ped by someone, leaving a long mark.
Bai Xiaonian stared at her beloved car and felt gloomy. She opened the door and mumbled, “My car door wasn’t looking to provoke anyone and was staying put. Why are people hitting it and sc.r.a.ping it for no reason?”
“The underground garage is under surveillance. I’ll call the security department to let them watch the surveillance tapes…” Lin Nuan sat inside the car, took out her phone, and called the Security Department of the broadcasting building to ask about the sc.r.a.ping incident.
The security guard knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He said that that morning several teenagers managed to sneak into the underground garage and sc.r.a.ped dozens of cars. Bai Xiaonian’s car was one unlucky car amongst the dozens of others.
What the security guard meant was that those teenagers had gotten away—all Bai Xiaonian could do was to accept her bad luck.
She hung up the phone. Bai Xiaonian looked ahead and drove forwards. She asked Lin Nuan, “What did they say?”
Lin Nuan found Bai Xiaonian’s insurance policy from the drawer and glanced at it.
“Let’s opt for the sc.r.a.ping insurance. A group of teenagers sc.r.a.ped the door, and they’ve gotten away!”
Despite being depressed, Bai Xiaonian secretly congratulated herself that she bought the insurance earlier on. Otherwise, Bai Xiaonian had to pay for the scratch from the rear b.u.mper to the front herself, and she was appalled at the thought.
…
Wen Moshen’s wedding was scheduled to be at the Pearl Hotel.
None of the elders of the Wen family appeared, and neither his father nor his mother could accept Gu Hanyan as their daughter-in-law.
Nevertheless, Wen Moshen insisted on marrying Gu Hanyan.
He intended to go abroad after his marriage to Gu Hanyan. Wen Mos.h.i.+ had managed the Wen Family for many years, and he has done an impressive job. Wen Moshen didn’t intend to regain his inheritance.
When Wen Mos.h.i.+ was abroad, he knew Wen Moshen was going to get married and rushed back to China to attend the wedding. He was very reluctant to be his best man.
Gu’s parents were very low-key because of the scandal of their daughter. They didn’t publicize the news of their daughter’s marriage, and they only invited close relatives and friends.
The wedding was different from what Gu Hanyan’s had imagined. But since her reputation was already so bad, if it weren’t for Wen Moshen, no one would likely marry her.
However, Wen Moshen gave up Wen’s inheritance right, which was unexpected for Gu Hanyan.
Thinking of their future days together, she felt uneasy since she felt that it was better to have agreed to marry Fu Huai’an before—at least she wouldn’t have to be concerned for her future livelihood.
Gu Hanyan was unwilling to get engaged to Fu Huai’an initially and asked for Lin Nuan’s help because of an agreement signed by Fu Huai’an to Gu Jia.
The agreement requires that after the engagement, Gu Hanyan needed to live in Tian Fuwan to take care of Fu Huai’an’s son, and the wedding must be postponed until she was pregnant with Fu Huai’an child.
