Chapter 130 - 131: She Harbored Inappropriate Thoughts About Him
Xia Yangyang felt that since Gu Qichen wanted to flaunt their love in front of her, she would let him boast thoroughly.
Perhaps once he was satisfied, he would sign the divorce agreement willingly.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to struggle anymore.
In the evening, a truck drove to the drama troupe.
Crate after crate of live seafood was moved off it.
The troupe also arranged an open-air BBQ.
Lu Yao ran over to check it out and came back exclaiming, “My god, President Gu has really splurged. Australian lobster, abalone, mussels, whole tunas. They’re all brought here by crate. And I heard they even hired a professional chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant. We’re really in for a treat tonight.”
The feast was set up on the A Big’s playground
At first glance, it was spectacular, long tables being covered with white tablecloths, reminiscent of a French restaurant’s decor.
There was a BBQarea, a main dish area, and all sorts of drinks and red wine were readily available on the tables.
All members of the troupe gathered together, singing and dancing, barbecuing and skewering food. It was a lively scene.
However, Shen Manbing and Gu Qichen were nowhere to be seen.
That was not surprising.
Shen Manbing, with her high standing, would naturally not mingle with everyone else.
Perhaps right now, she’s enjoying steak at a fancy western restaurant while listening to a violin serenade with Gu Qichen.
A few of the troupe’s actresses were gathered together enjoying a seafood feast.
Yu Minmin took a bite of the sea urchin sashimi and praised, “This is the freshest sea urchin I have ever eaten. We’re really lucky today thanks to Sister Bingbing. Mr. Gu is too generous. I wonder when Mr. Gu will marry Sister Bingbing, I can’t wait to see what kind of grand wedding they will have.”
Meanwhile, Xia Weiwei sarcastically commented, “Haven’t you ever had good food before? You’ve been won over by a single sea urchin? So ambitious.” “Xia Weiwei, how could you speak like that?”
Xia Weiwei was clearly venting her frustrations: “Did I say something wrong?”
Yu Minmin couldn’t let it go either: “Xia Weiwei, you’ve been upset all afternoon just because Mr. Gu didn’t even glance at you when you went to greet him. Xia Weiwei, you have a crush on Mr. Gu, don’t you? Unfortunately, Mr. Gu is about to marry Sister Bingbing.”
Xia Weiwei was infuriated when her secret was exposed: “How dare you speak to me like this? And who said Mr. Gu will definitely marry Shen Manbing? Those are just rumors.”
“Everyone in the world knows that Shen went to propose herself. Now that Shen Manbing has joined the crew on the first day, Gu Qichen has arranged such a big feast to invite everyone in the group to dinner. Isn’t this obvious? Xia Weiwei, you do have a good father, but compared to Shen Manbing, you still lack too much.”
“One day, I will become a bigger Diva than Shen Manbing. One day, the woman standing next to Gu Qichen will be me. Just you all wait and see, you bunch of losers who’ll never make it big.”
Having said that, Xia Weiwei stood up and strode off.
Yu Minmin burst into tears: “She’s really too oppressive, using her father Xia Liangdong’s name to throw her weight around every day on set. She’s only the fourth lead, but she acts bigger than the lead actress, treating us like maids, as if this troupe is her house.”
Everyone else chimed in to calm her down: “Let it go, after all, she’s the heiress of Starlight and her mother is a veteran Diva. She’s been spoiled since childhood. We, these backgroundless people, can only endure. When you become famous, you won’t have to look at her face anymore.”
Xia Yangyang watched indifferently from the side without intervening.
Currently, other than Lu Yao, she didn’t really have any friends in the troupe.
Everyone considered Xia Weiwei to be the favored one of the Xia Family and had been trying to curry her favor while purposely distancing themselves from her.
But what Xia Weiwei just said shocked Xia Yangyang a bit.
She didn’t expect Xia Weiwei to have such feelings for Gu Qichen. She wondered how Xia Weiwei would react if she found out about her brief marriage with Gu Qichen.
But, nobody should find out about it, right?
