MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 9 - Season 16 Episode 64

Sun Rourou wanted to deny it. “No… I…”
Sun Rourou did not precisely sell her body. Just that when she first entered the industry, her agency had no means of making money. Hence, they lied and made their artist go to a ‘certain’ place to make money. In that way, the company acted as a pimp and thought of ideas to spur everyone. With the way they groomed their artist, the difference fetched an exorbitant price. With the addition of selling her body, she had earned quite a sum in those years.

But…

Ever since she had changed companies, she wanted to get rid of that image and wipe off all these black points.

She did not expect that someone would dig it up.

She looked at Gu Jingyu. It was too easy for a supernatural like him to knock her down.

Sun Rourou just did not expect that Gu Jingyu would help Su Wan to knock her down.

“What do you want…” Sun Rourou conceded. She looked at Gu Jingyu, “That was all in the past. My family’s poor, and I got cheated into doing such a thing. It wasn’t easy for me to get away from my past. Please… Please have mercy on me. Su Wan, please, please help me beg Gu Jingyu. If this news gets out, I’ll be finished. Really…”

Gu Jingyu smiled coldly. “Don’t use being poor as an excuse. There are plenty of poor folks. Everyone has their own choices. You chose to sell your body—to use your body in exchange for luxury. I don’t care about this. Your body is yours. But you harmed others, and you can’t possibly push this blame to a poor person.”

“I…” Sun Rourou realized that he should have already known something and looked for her.

“Damn it, it was you who got someone to hit, wasn’t it?”

Unsurprisingly…

Sun Rourou’s face froze, and then it turned gloomy.

“I… didn’t… I didn’t, really…”

“If I didn’t have the evidence on hand, I wouldn’t have bothered coming to look for you.” Gu Jingyu scoffed.

Su Wan looked at Sun Rourou in disbelief. “How could you… I’ve never offended you, and yet you caused me such harm?”

Sun Rourou was ashamed. “I… I didn’t…”

If Gu Jingyu were not around, Sun Rourou would have definitely started berating. Anyway, her reputation was gone the moment people knew about the matter.

However, of all people, it was Gu Jingyu who had to be around.

How could Sun Rourou dare?

Su Wan gave a bitter smile. “If I go down, how’s that beneficial to you?”

“Su Wan.” Sim Rourou looked at Su Wan. “You can accept many roles now, but I’m still a small figure. The roles I get now are all insignificant. Of course, I’m jealous of you.”

“Jealous of a person, and you can do such harm?”

Gu Jingyu pulled Su Wan. “Alright, there’s nothing much to say to a person like this. Whatever she has done has already gotten her out.”

Gu Jingyu looked at Sun Rourou. “You can return to the previous company and continue to sell your body for luxury.”

“What?” Sun Rourou widened her eyes.

Gu Jingyu said, “I’ll notify Lin Che about this. I believe she will not like an artist like you existing in her studio.”

“No!” Sun Rourou got afraid.

Gu Jingyu immediately told Su Wan, “What’s the point of saying anything to this person? Silly, let’s go. We don’t have to waste our breath on her. Anyway, she’ll still be jealous of you no matter what you say. The more you talk, the more she’ll hate.”

Su Wan felt that Gu Jingyu was right.

However, she still looked at Sun Rourou and said, “Everyone might pick the wrong road, but even if the world is in danger, I still think that kindness is what a person must have.”

Su Wan shook her head and followed Gu Jingyu out.

Su Wan looked at Gu Jingyu. “Thank you… for helping me find out. If not, I might never know for my entire life.”

“I have my privilege. In this industry, I get to avoid many things. But many people might not avoid them. If they’re unlucky, they might never get the fame and disappear. Remember, people won’t remember a missing person’s past strengths. They’ll only remember how popular someone is at that moment. If you don’t wish to be forgotten, you have to become stronger.”

“I….” Su Wan lowered her head.

Gu Jingyu said, “Perhaps you’ll understand one day. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it now. Oh yes, I’ve already told Lin Che that my manager would be yours in the future.”

“What?”

Su Wan opened her eyes bigger and looked at him. “Then you…”

Gu Jingyu shook his head and shoved something into her hands. “This is the key to the safe. It has all the manager’s information.”

“What about you?”

“I’ve decided to leave for a while.”

Su Wan looked at him in shock.

Gu Jingyu said, “I’ve decided to go backpacking. I’ve not decided for how long at the moment. It might be very long. I don’t wish for my manager to be laid off, so I’ve to trouble you to take over.”

Gu Jingyu’s manager…

Without looking at his network, but just at his status and means in the industry.

New managers could not even compare to those aspects.

This was Gu Jingyu’s…

“Alright, I’m leaving first. Go get busy.”

“But Gu Jingyu…”

Su Wan wanted to say something, but she lowered her head and looked at the key in her hands. She felt her palms getting warm. She wanted to say something, but…

Looking at him, what rights did she have to say anything?

“What’s up?” Gu Jingyu lowered his head.

She smiled and shook her head. “I know. I’ll take good care of it. I’ll treat him well and learn from him. I’ll make myself stronger.”

Gu Jingyu smiled, and his hand reached out to tussle her hair.

“I’m going.”

“Bye.”

Su Wan watched him leave.

Her eyes moistened, making her feel like her eyes were heating up.

He was leaving just like that?

He did not say for how long or when he was coming back.

And it was of no use with her being so timid. She could not even ask a simple thing like why he was so nice to her.

She could only hold tightly onto the key in her hand.

Perhaps one day, she would become strong and powerful.

She would become braver, and then she could ask that one question right in front of him.

Why are you so nice to me?

Sun Rourou’s name got removed from the studio very quickly. The news of her selling her body in the past had even brought her into the industry’s circle.

Many companies did not dare to accept her for fear of not managing these black marks in the future.

After accepting the change to Gu Jingyu’s manager, Su Wan had her first online series.

In it, she played a sweet and amicable female lead.

A sweet leading female left a deep impression in people’s hearts.

Meanwhile, Gu Jingyu carried his backpack.

He switched on his mobile phone for the last time and saw the messages.

After that, he would get rid of this phone that could get news from the Internet.

In his Weibo account, many confessed their feelings for him. They filled his messages with many comments, mentions, and support.
