Chapter 720: Laojianghu
Chapter 720 Lao Jianghu
He said something more into the phone, to the effect that he refused to stop the matter.
In the last sentence, his voice was gentle but firm: "Uncle Gu, the friendship between our two families is not meant to be consumed like this. ...It doesn't matter, even if grandpa comes, I will still have this attitude."
He hung up the phone and took Xia Ling's hand again.
Xia Ling asked: "Will this matter embarrass you?"
Li Lei said: "It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't think about it." Compared with protecting her, other things don't matter. It's easy to choose which one is more important. There is really nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, she said softly: "Thank you."
“How can you and I say thank you?” Only then did his voice show a hint of displeasure, because Xiao Ling actually treated him as an outsider.
She was startled, then understood what he meant, smiled, lowered her head and said nothing. In this life, besides him, who else could she fall in love with? Although she has not officially gotten back together with him, she will only consider whether to accept him or not for the rest of her life. There is no second person... He really doesn't have to worry.
The two of them walked slowly in the night wind.
Over there, the Gu family was in chaos.
Gu Lin is a spoiled eldest lady who is also very timid. After Xia Ling said she wanted to call the police, she was afraid that her bad deeds would be exposed, so she didn't tell her family immediately. Several hours had passed after she struggled for a long time, did enough psychological construction, and finally told Father Gu about the incident because she was afraid of paying for it with her life.
Father Gu knew the seriousness of the matter and didn't want to blame his daughter. He made the phone call to Li Lei immediately. However, it was still too late. By that time, Li Lei had already accompanied Xia Ling to make notes at the police station. He also told the police chief that he needed to protect the relevant personal and material evidence to prevent the Gu family from intervening.
He himself also mobilized his subordinates and private detectives to prevent the Gu family from changing.
Father Gu was too late after all. He hung up the phone and ordered people to destroy the evidence, but was unable to do anything.
He knew that it was useless to look for Li Lei, so he went straight to Xia Ling the next day.
Xia Ling was recording a music video on location. It was a sunny day, blue sea, and a white and delicate beach. She was wearing an exquisite swimsuit, and her shallow lines outlined her perfect figure.
She walked along the waves step by step, her long hair blown by the wind, looking very beautiful.
Father Gu saw many people busy on the beach through the isolation belt pulled up by the staff. Directors, photographers, stage managers, agents, etc., all surrounding her like a moon.
He wanted to climb over the barrier to enter, but was stopped by the staff: "Stay back, you are not allowed to enter."
Very rude attitude.
Father Gu felt angry, thinking that in all the years he had been in charge of Gu's company, had he ever been treated so rudely? These staff members regarded him as an ordinary fan or the media, and were afraid that he would trespass in and do something crazy. He revealed his identity: "I am the president of Gu's Enterprise, and I have something to do with Xia Ling."
The staff member sneered: "Come on, why are you pretending to be the president of Gu's Enterprise? How could a dignified president come here and be blocked outside like a fan?"
Father Gu suppressed his anger: "I am really the president of Gu's enterprise."
As he spoke, he handed over his business card. However, the staff member did not reach out to take the business card. He still sneered and looked at Father Gu up and down. "Oh, you are quite good at acting. You dress like a dog and have a business card printed? I said, you are a newbie in this industry. The paparazzi, please be more dedicated and learn from the old paparazzi? You know it’s too fake!”
There are often paparazzi pretending to be various identities, trying to sneak into the shooting scene. However, it is rare to pretend to be a CEO, because this kind of identity is too high, usually there is an appointment, and it is easy to be exposed.
The veins on Gu's father's forehead were about to pop out. He didn't expect that he, a dignified CEO who was usually respected by thousands of people, would be ridiculed by a small staff at this age. He scolded Xia Ling seventeen or eight times in his heart. However, when he thought that his woman's future was still in the hands of others, he could only continue to endure it.
“Go and tell Ye Xingling, she knows me and knows that I am the president of Gu Corporation.”
The staff didn’t even bother to inform him: “Rolling, rolling.”
While talking, he walked away.
Father Gu was so angry that even a middle-aged man like him who had a successful career and an extraordinary bearing could not help but curse loudly at this time. Over there, the waves were rolling. Xia Ling looked back and turned around step by step. The camera surrounded her and captured the infinite scenery.
A paparazzi patted Father Gu on the shoulder with a sympathetic look on his face: "Man, are you new here? Tell you, don't pretend to be a CEO or a government official in the future, just pretend to be a food delivery guy."
“You’re the one who delivers food! Bah, what the hell!” Father Gu yelled.
The paparazzi was so bored that he turned around and walked away, muttering disdainfully: "Why are you dragging me? You still want to stay in this business with this attitude? You are not worthy of delivering food!"
His muttering was a bit loud, and when Father Gu heard it, he became even more angry and vomited blood.
Filled with anger, he called his subordinates: "Hey, find me the phone number of that **** Ye Xingling! What? No? Only the agent's?... Okay, the agent is the agent, give it to me quickly I!"
He called Lin Yunan.
Lin Yunan was leaning leisurely on a big rock, admiring the sea breeze and beauties with an assistant director. Suddenly he received a call from Gu's father, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart: Why is he here?
He said enthusiastically: "Mr. Gu, right? Hello, hello! What, you are just outside the isolation zone? Wait a moment, I will come to pick you up right away, just a moment!"
Hang up the phone, but did not move, still looking at the scenery leisurely.
The deputy director asked him: "Brother Lin, why don't you pick him up?"
Lin Yunan rolled his eyes with a smile and lectured the assistant director: "Naive! When I said I asked him to wait, did I really just wait? Who the **** is he?"
The deputy director trembled silently, Brother Lin, he is the boss of Gu's company. How big of a multinational company is he? Why can't he be just a toy?
Lin Yunan continued: "Learn a lesson - why didn't I pick him up right away? Since he was stopped outside, he must have not made an appointment in advance. Xiao Ling is not familiar with Gu, and she is not familiar with his precious daughter Gu Lin. If he doesn't deal with it, what good can he do if he comes here at this time? It's probably because he wants to trouble Xiao Ling for some reason.
“We don’t know anything about the inner twists and turns, so how can we rush to see him?
“At least wait until Xiao Ling finishes shooting the MV and ask about Xiao Ling’s causes and consequences before going to see him.”
When the assistant director heard this, he suddenly realized that Brother Lin was indeed Brother Lin, a veteran agent and a veteran of the world.
