GU NIANNIAN didn’t even blink at Zhou Rui’s shameless gaslight. Instead, she just gave him a sweet smile. “How about this, fifty million, as a finder’s fee and hush money. Pay up, and we’ll call it even.”

　　“Are you insane?” Zhou Rui looked at her with disgust, giving back her a mocking smile. “And what makes you think I’d ever agree to that?”

　　“Relax, just joking. I won’t take cash,” Gu Niannian replied. She wasn’t stupid—one bank transfer and Zhou Rui could have her thrown in jail.

　　Given her current situation, she’d have to slave away for the company with dozens more roles, basically twenty more years of free labor.

　　【Your contract ends in three years. If you hang in there till then, you’ll be free.】Meng piped up.

　　“But I did hear your sugar mommy’s got a few variety show spots up her sleeve. Be a sweetheart and pass those over to me. Otherwise…” She leaned in, her tone sharp, “I’ll make sure she gets a few more pretty boys delivered to her room. Let’s see if this drama turns out to be your last.”

　　“This is dirty!” Zhou Rui snapped, his tone finally cracking.

　　“Then be a good boy and play nice. Or...” Gu Niannian’s smile vanished, voice ice-cold, “I’ll make sure you lose your money and your future. And believe me, the kind of punishment your sugar mommy dishes out? You’ll only survive it once.”

　　Just then, a knock came at the door. Gu Niannian patted his shoulder. “One week. That should be enough to think it over.”

　　“Ms. Gu, the director’s calling for you guys.” the assistant peeked in.

　　Zhou Rui just stood there, staring at her back as she left. If she really managed to cling to Pei Jingzhi’s thigh, not just him—even the capital backing him—wouldn’t be able to touch her.

　　On set, Gu Niannian immediately noticed her script had gotten a lot thinner.

　　“That’s the updated version from the screenwriter,” her assistant explained in a whisper.

　　“Alright everyone, get ready. We’re rolling soon!” the assistant director barked into the megaphone.

　　Flipping it open, Gu Niannian saw her lines were all about throwing tantrums after pining for Zhou Rui and failing to get him. That little creep Zhou Rui was really using the script to get back at her.

　　Meanwhile, the chat of livestream exploded.

　　*I NEED to know what Pei and Gu were up to.*

　　*Just one-night stand, ok?*

　　*Hello?? The real point is how Pei dragged her off right in front of Zhou, and Zhou didn’t say a word.*

　　*Nah, she’s Zhou’s girlfriend and she’s tugging around with another guy right in front of him! Shame on her!*

　　In afternoon, Gu Niannian’s scene was nothing more than standing on the second floor as background.

　　“The matter is settled. Please don’t cause more trouble. You’ll spoil Ms. Gu’s mood, and I won’t be able to take the blame,” the maid said, blocking Jiang Shuang’s path.

　　Jiang Shuang looked up at Gu Niannian, her eyes brimming with resentment and injustice.

　　Wow, Jiang Shuang’s acting’s actually not bad, Gu Nian thought.

　　“Mmm, what’s that milky smell?” the maid sniffed around.

　　When Jiang Shuang’s gaze accidentally met Zhou Rui’s, her emotional build-up collapsed like a sandcastle in the tide.

　　“Today’s our wedding day, my dear,” Zhou Rui said to Jiang Shuang, didn’t even hide the disdain in his glance toward Gu Niannian. “Why are you wasting time with these sycophants instead of staying in our room?”

　　At last, filming wrapped. Gu Nian was about to head back to her hotel when Jiang Shuang blocked her way.

　　*Catfight between actresses? My favorite content!*

　　*Fighting!*

　　*Get closer! I can’t hear a damn thing!*

　　“You two are hilarious,” Jiang Shuang snapped. “Always picking on me, huh?”

　　Gu Niannian kept her tone calm. “Sorry, our aesthetics just didn’t line up, so I broke up with Zhou Rui. If you’ve got issues with him, take it up with him.”

　　Jiang Shuang froze.

　　“If that’s all, could you move? You’re blocking the way,” Gu Niannian said in a polite but firm way.

　　*You’re hot then you’re cold, you’re yes then you’re no…*

　　*The look on Jiang’s face likes she just swallowed a fly. Lmaoo.*

　　*Damn! Both of them are soooo gorgeous.*

　　*Can Gu’s fans shut up?*

　　And just like that, the tags in social media exploded again.

　　“Ms. Gu, the producer would like to invite you to dinner,” the crew PA squeezed through the crowd and whispered.

　　Gu Niannian arched a brow. The producer wanted dinner with her instead of the show’s female lead, Jiang Shuang?

　　Jiang Shuang heard it and let out a cold laugh. So Gu Niannian was soon joining the “rewrite-the-script” club too!
