“But this is a film set,” Liang Shi said. “It’s not your home.”
Gu Chunmian was taken aback: "Who exactly are you?"
Then, looking at her with obvious impatience, he suddenly frowned and said, "I'll go."
Gu Yixue flicked her wrist, about to tell Liang Shi to leave, when she heard Gu Chunmian say in astonishment, "Gu Yixue, do you have any shame? You're trying to find a substitute for my wife?"
These words caused an uproar throughout the entire production crew.
Liang Shi was also taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
Gu Chunmian gritted her teeth, "This face looks too much like that dead woman, Shen Fenghe."
"Especially her eyes." Gu Chunmian stared at Liang Shi's eyes, practically spitting fire, and burst out, "Gu Yixue, have you no shame? Your mother was a mistress, and what's wrong with you that you even want your sister's woman..."
Snap—
Gu Chunmian's indignation and agitation were all shattered by a single slap.
Unfortunately, her arm was restrained by Liang Shi.
And this slap wasn't delivered by just one person.
The woman, wearing a black coat over a white shirt, was tall and about the same height as Liang Shi. She walked with a hurried pace, but she showed no mercy when hitting Gu Chunmian.
With a slap, Gu Chunmian was silenced.
Gu Yixue's slap came afterward, and although she used considerable force, it landed on the back of the other person's hand.
They directly turned the opponent's screen red.
Gu Yixue took a half step back awkwardly and called out obediently and pitifully, "Sister Fenghe."
Unlike the Gu Yixue of the past, she looked pitiful, as if she had been bullied.
Liang Shi released Gu Chunmian's wrist and took a half step back.
Gu Yixue told the assistant director to clear the set.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed in droves.
Liang Shi was also about to leave, eager to escape this scandal, but Gu Yixue said, "You shouldn't leave either, after all, they say you're a stand-in."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi couldn't help but retort, "Isn't spreading rumors illegal?"
It took Gu Chunmian a long time to come to her senses before she looked up at Shen Fenghe.
The other person stood tall and straight like a poplar tree, looking down at her with a cold and sharp voice: "Gu Chunmian, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
Gu Chunmian was taken aback: "You hit me?"
Shen Fenghe scoffed, "What would I be if I didn't hit you? You're shameless, don't try to make me like you, how disgusting!"
When she said the last half of the sentence, Shen Fenghe looked coldly at the woman in the cheongsam beside her.
“You and Gu Yixue never exchange a single word normally,” Shen Fenghe said. “Why are you trying to put her in her group now? You think she's easy to bully, don’t you?”
Gu Chunmian was dumbfounded.
Who's easy to bully?
Gu Yixue?
That's a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Gu Chunmian gritted her teeth: "Bullshit! Do you think I don't know about what happened between you and Gu Yixue? She even called your name when she was drunk before..."
“It was on my side only,” Gu Yixue said immediately. “Sister Fenghe doesn’t know.”
"So what if I am?" Shen Fenghe said, "How long have you been keeping her on the side? Do you really think I don't know?"
Shen Fenghe looked at the woman in the cheongsam and walked over unhurriedly.
"Shen Fenghe!" Gu Chunmian immediately exclaimed, "What are you doing? You dare to touch Wenwen and see what happens?!"
"She's not worthy of my attention." Shen Fenghe said indifferently, one hand in her coat pocket, without any hint of contempt, "She's a nobody."
"You!" Gu Chunmian was furious when she heard her beloved being spoken to like that. She stepped forward to argue with Shen Fenghe, but was instead tugged at by her sleeve.
With red eyes, Ye Ziwen said softly, "Mianmian, stop arguing, let's go."
Gu Chunmian felt even more sorry for her. "It's okay, Wenwen. No one can say anything to you."
Ye Ziwen said, "It's not worth it. It's not worth it for me."
Gu Chunmian was moved to tears, "It's worth it, you definitely deserve it."
The two of them were so engrossed in their affectionate display that even Liang Shi, an outsider, felt a little awkward.
It's unclear how the other two parties involved feel.
"I can't stand it anymore." Kong Xiaoxiao, who came with Shen Fenghe, couldn't help but say, "Gu Chunmian, are you crazy? Do you really think this low-class person can marry you? If it doesn't work out, just break off the engagement. We all grew up together, what kind of palace intrigue are you playing?"
Gu Chunmian paused: "What's it to you?"
Shen Fenghe stopped Kong Xiaoxiao: "Don't get excited."
Kong Xiaoxiao glanced at her.
Shen Fenghe said, "Gu Chunmian, I'm giving you two choices. First, break up with her within ten days, and we'll get our marriage certificate and have a wedding. Second, go to the Gu family within ten days and say you want to annul the engagement. If I haven't received your annulment message after ten days, then I'll have the wedding."
“If you don’t come that day, I’ll drag a dog off the street and still hold the wedding,” Shen Fenghe said. “Also, if you go against my word and keep this woman outside after the wedding, I won’t mind sending her abroad to a place you’ll never find in your life.”
Gu Chunmian was startled, "You!"
“You know that,” Shen Fenghua said, “I mean what I say.”
"Shen Fenghe! You're forcing me!" Gu Chunmian roared, her cute baby face looking somewhat ferocious.
Shen Fenghua said, "No destruction, no construction. Moreover, you should understand that without me, you cannot obtain the right to inherit the Gu family."
After saying that, he called to Gu Yixue, "Let's go eat."
Gu Yixue responded blankly, "Oh."
Then he pulled Liang Shi away.
//
The group arrived at the restaurant. Kong Xiaoxiao was still angry, constantly complaining about Gu Chunmian's terrible behavior, and then looked at Gu Yixue with heartache.
He even advised her, "Don't spoil her too much. Anyway, you don't rely on Gu Jia anymore, so why bother with her?"
Gu Yixue smiled wryly: "My mother's name is still on the Gu family genealogy."
They pretended to be weak and pitiful.
Liang Shi glanced at Gu Yixue, then at Shen Fenghe.
It seems like I've figured something out.
Shen Fenghe was staring intently at her.
Seeing this, Liang Shi felt a little flustered and touched his chin: "Um... Miss Shen, you shouldn't... have any misunderstandings, right? Director Gu and I are nothing."
Liang Shi said, "I am married, and we are just colleagues and friends."
"I know." Shen Fenghe lowered her eyelashes, and the teacup filled with steam continued to emit the aroma of tea.
Shen Fenghe's voice was no longer as cold as before. She said calmly, "It's just that everyone says we look alike, so I took a few extra glances. I apologize for the offense."
"Ah..." Liang Shi nodded, "Okay."
Gu Yixue looked over, "I don't think they look that similar either."
"That's because you have a biased view of Shen Fenghe," Kong Xiaoxiao teased. "You're a big fan of Shen Fenghe, so of course you think everyone in the world is unlike Shen Fenghe, and no one is as pretty as your Sister Fenghe."
Gu Yixue lowered her head: "Sister Xiaoxiao, please don't tease me, or things will get complicated later."
"Just kidding," Kong Xiaoxiao laughed. "To be honest, they do look alike, like their eyes and noses."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fenghe, rarely joking, said, "If my sister hadn't passed away, I would definitely think you were my sister."
Liang Shi: "..."
"Passed away?" Liang Shi paused, then suddenly asked, "Are you Shen Hui and Shen Siyan's older sister?"
Shen Fenghe paused: "You know them?"
Liang Shi: "..."
What a coincidence!
Liang Shi smiled and said, "I had the honor of meeting Dr. Shen before, and I also met your younger brother once."
That's a tactful way of putting it.
Shen Fenghe replied, "That's quite a coincidence."
Kong Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and said, "So nobody says you look like Siyan? You're like a gender-swapped version."
Liang Shi: "...Some people have said that our eyes are very similar."
It was Zhao Ling, Zhao Xuning's cousin, who said it.
Liang looked at them for a long time and thought their eyes were beautiful and quite unique, and they seemed familiar.
It was only after he spoke that Zhao Ling pointed it out.
“Yes,” Kong Xiaoxiao said, “I’ve only ever seen this eye color in their family before, because their father has the same eyes. Others… I’ve seen similar ones, but none as similar as this. If it weren’t for the fact that no child in their family has ever gone missing, I would have suspected that you were their little sister who had been lost.”
Liang Shi: "..."
Kong Xiaoxiao nudged Chen Fenghe as she spoke, "Seriously, do you want to go back and ask your dad?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Shen Fenghe glanced at her, "Not a single word of yours is serious."
But Kong Xiaoxiao's words aroused Liang Shi's suspicion. She pursed her lips and asked casually during the meal, "How old was Miss Shen's younger sister who died young?"
"A month," Shen Fenghe said. "The premature baby stayed in the incubator the whole time, but didn't make it. What happened?"
Liang Shi shook his head: "It's nothing, just asking."
Kong Xiaoxiao teased, "Do you really doubt that you're their child?"
