MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 97

Gu Jingyu.

The person taking large strides towards them was none other than Gu Jingyu, who had gone abroad to study for two years.

He was dressed in a trench coat. The gray part of the coat at the bottom swayed with the wind as he walked.

Initially, the crowd did not even recognize him.

Because it had truly been a long time since Gu Jingyu had appeared, many people had already forgotten that this person was still in the entertainment industry.

Indeed, what Han Yisheng, what Lin De, what Guo Keqin? Could these current Prince Charmings still call themselves that in front of Gu Jingyu?

They were merely pretty boys.

They were no match at all for an A-list celebrity like Gu Jingyu.

Gu Jingyu’s facial expression was still as cold as ever.

Gazing inside at Lin Che, who had looked up in astonishment at him, he smiled ever so slightly.

The upturned corners of his lips had an immense charm to them. In no time, the reporters around him all began to gasp in admiration.

Good gracious. Although the entertainment industry was filled with countless handsome men, there truly weren’t many faces that could stir people up whenever they saw them.

Not only were there not many such faces, but you could also even say that there were very few.

His face instantly roused everyone.

It was after a long time that they realized that Gu Jingyu was back!

Immediately, the reporters all gathered around him.

“Gu Jingyu, Gu Jingyu. You’re finally back.”

“Gu Jingyu, are you planning to make a comeback to the entertainment industry now?”

“Where have you been for the past two years?”

“Is there anything you want to say to your fans?”

“What plans do you have now?”

The security guards at the venue were almost unable to control the sudden situation.

Sensing the situation, the Gu family’s own bodyguards had to rush forward to block off the ferocious reporters.

But these reporters were not to be blamed for being difficult to deal with. It was simply because they had not seen such sensational news for a long time!

However, Gu Jingyu ignored these people. He first looked at Lin Che and walked over to her.

Lin Che gazed at him with surprise. She pulled his arm, genuinely wanting to see if this person was real.

Sure enough, it was him in the flesh. He was warm too.

“You… Gu Jingyu, you…”

Lin Che wanted to ask what he was here for.

However, the corners of Gu Jingyu’s mouth turned up first as he looked at her calmly. “Why? I want to come back and act now, but I have no projects. Aren’t you going to hire me?”

Lin Che’s heart jolted. “Are you really going to act in this?”

Gu Jingyu raised his eyebrows. “Do you want me to?”

Of course, she did.

His image was already so suitable, to begin with. There was a mix of hardness and softness. His gaze was piercing and his appearance was particularly distinctive. Furthermore, he was definitely unparalleled in popularity and his acting skills spoke for themselves.

On top of that, the two of them had collaborated numerous times. Their chemistry was also plain to see.

Lin Che quickly nodded. “You said it. You can’t go back on your word.”

He had not even seen the script before. He absolutely could not refuse to film later on.

Gu Jingyu said, “Of course. A man keeps his word. I’ll act since I’ve said so. What’s there to regret? I’m going for fitting later.”

Lin Che was extremely happy at the situation and immediately started flattering him. “Hehe. Do you even need to go for a fitting? Any outfit will definitely do for you.”

Gu Jingyu said, “Heh. You’re really different now. In the past, your flattery would simply have had the opposite effect and made people even angrier upon hearing it. You’ve improved now.”

“Really?”

“You know just what to say now.”

“Hehe.”

Looking at the reporters down below, Lin Che’s expression changed swiftly as well. Her expression had been completely sheepish earlier, but now, she smiled and said, “You guys are too much. We intended to surprise everyone today, but we didn’t expect you guys to be so anxious. Alright, since everyone is present now, we can start things off.”

From the outset, the main members of the production team were supposed to meet everyone at the press conference.

All the reporters were completely attracted to Gu Jingyu. Their questions were all directed to Gu Jingyu.

However, Gu Jingyu merely smiled and said bluntly, “My apologies. I’m back simply because I’m back. I’m planning to meet everyone through my works. There’s nothing else I really have to say.”

After that, he arrogantly rejected all questions…

Lin Che could only smile dryly and proceed to say, “Yes, we hope that everyone’s attention can be focused more on our productions. As for other matters, we’ll release the final fitting photos later. We will also send a wire copy to everyone. No worries, alright?”

Alright. Since there was a wire copy, they were not going to compete with each other to ask questions.

Anyway, it was true that Gu Jingyu did not like giving interviews. He had been this way in the past.

On this day, from the moment Gu Jingyu appeared, all the media outlets and entertainment news were immediately flooded with Gu Jingyu.

Everyone had again seen for themselves how much influence Gu Jingyu had.

Back then, he had left without a sound and now, he had returned like a strong wind scattering the clouds. Gu Jingyu was truly wilful to the extreme.

However, it was precisely his wilfulness that strengthened everyone’s impression of him.

Media outlets reported that Gu Jingyu had made a comeback and was going to join Lin Yu’s new series, “Radiance”. At the press conference, the two of them joined hands once again. In the future, “Radiance” was truly going to be brilliant beyond compare.

The people who had initially wanted to see which other celebrity Lin Che could choose to act in this production immediately regretted their past actions. They had thought that she genuinely would not be able to find anyone to act and would end up begging them. But now…

How had she managed to invite Gu Jingyu when he was in a semi-retirement mode?

This was such explosive news.

Han Yisheng’s management also softened its position instantly. In the beginning, they had planned to aggressively hype up Han Yisheng by comparing him to whoever became the male lead. When the television series became popular, they could also become popular. It was Lin Che’s fault for being arrogant.

But now…

Who still dared to make that comparison?

Anyone who compared himself to Gu Jingyu would inevitably humiliate himself.

The internet was in a state of jubilation too. Everyone was saying, “If Gu Jingyu is acting in it, it will definitely be great!”

“I’ve read the original novel. The male lead is so domineering. Only Gu Jingyu can pull it off.”

“In comparison to him, Han Yisheng is too feminine. Gu Jingyu is better.”

“Precisely. Han Yisheng isn’t as good-looking as Gu Jingyu, either.”

“In terms of acting skills, Han Yisheng can’t compare to Gu Jingyu at all. The character in the game is incredibly handsome. He carries a heavenly weapon and is incomparably ethereal. He must also have a sharp gaze. Can Han Yisheng do it?”

Han Yisheng was genuinely going to… cry himself dizzy in the washroom.

Later on.

Lin Yu looked at Gu Jingyu. “Where exactly did you go? I nearly died from shock upon your sudden return.”

Gu Jingyu said, “I went out to have fun. Working every day is so frustrating.”

“Well then, you suddenly ran here after returning… without even notifying me in advance. Have you actually decided to act in this?”

Gu Jingyu had a nonchalant expression on his face. “That’s right. I previously heard from my Second Brother that you were going to produce a game, so I went to try it out. I felt that it was quite good, so I wanted to act in this.”

“Ah? You even played our game? Hehe.” Lin Che smiled even more brightly and asked, “Is it really fun?”

“Hn. It’s really not bad. How did you come up with this clever idea for the game?” Gu Jingyu tapped Lin Che on her forehead.

Lin Che said, “I did it just to earn money. Well then, I’ll give you the contract later. This is the script. You can take a look at it.”
