Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral

The agent shook his head, too lazy to speak anymore.

Gu Yiyi felt a complex emotion rise in her heart.

By gaining recognition from the Qin Family, did she become the sister of national parents, a venture capital genius, a science prodigy, and an esports god?

That identity originally belonged to her, and Gu Zhi was merely abandoned by the Gu Family, living in that family in her place for twenty years.

However, if she chose the Qin Family, she had to give up her identity as the Gu Family's daughter.

How could she accept the gap of falling from the daughter of a century-old noble family to a slum's daughter!

The Qin Family didn't deserve her.

Unless, she could reconcile the two families because of her, make the Qin Family stop going after the Gu Family, then everything could be solved!

Gu Yiyi thought with her head down but couldn't bear to lose face to proactively seek out the Qin Family.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help taking out her phone to call Gu Wenlin.

After calling several times, the other side finally picked up.

Before Gu Wenlin could speak, Gu Yiyi started crying softly, "Fourth Brother, what should we do? Mom and Dad and Brother are all inside, I only have you, I..."

Before she could finish, Gu Wenlin interrupted impatiently, "What can I do about it?"

Gu Yiyi was stunned, her crying became more intense; it was the first time she felt so helpless and desperate, "Can you let me join the 'New Star Girl' program again? This time I'll definitely perform well and restore my reputation..."

Gu Zhi managed to rise through variety shows, so can she!

"Stop dreaming," Gu Wenlin coldly interrupted her, "Don't call me if there's nothing important, I'm very busy, hanging up now!"

Without waiting for Gu Yiyi to respond, he hung up directly.

Wasn't all this mess caused by her appearing on the show? Even he got implicated and was scolded miserably.

Last week, even a small talent show stage led him and her to be cursed out by the fans of the contestants!

If only he hadn't accompanied her on that family variety show back then, acting out a doting brother role, he wouldn't have been slapped in the face by Qin Zheng and Gu Zhi repeatedly!

Gu Wenlin impatiently tossed his phone aside, then went on to look at the script for the new episode of his variety show.

Fortunately, his fan base was large, and there weren't any fundamental issues; the topics of him getting scolded were creatively defended by his fans, so the impact wasn't big.

Gu Yiyi heard the beeping tone from the phone, her face looking extremely unpleasant.

She never expected Gu Wenlin to be so unreliable!

The once-doting brother image was all an act!

Now that something happened, he just kicked her aside!

Gu Yiyi bit her teeth in hatred, mentally cursing Gu Wenlin hundreds of times before getting up to walk upstairs.

If no one could be relied on, she would rely on herself!

On the other side, Gu Wenlin was busy backstage discussing scripts with the producer.

As one of the initiators of the "New Star Girl" program, last week he lost face to Gu Zhi, which was embarrassing.

This week, he must find a way to get it back!

Frowning at the script, Gu Wenlin asked, "Are you sure Gu Zhi will come? Contract signed?"

"Of course, it was signed last week. As long as she doesn't want to compensate for breaching the contract, she has to come." The producer glanced at him and patted his shoulder, saying, "Rest assured, this script is custom-made for you and Gu Zhi. As long as you follow this script, the one getting scolded will definitely be Gu Zhi."

Only then did Gu Wenlin relax and started studying the script attentively.

This is how variety shows are; as long as there's a script and people to cooperate, even if the targeted person doesn't respond, they can still be instigated into conflict.

In this circle, it's really easy to blacken someone.

The producer was indifferent to it, especially since Gu Wenlin paid enough.

He squinted slightly, raising his eyebrows and asked, "This Gu Zhi is your blood sister, it's all over the internet; you still want to do this to her?"

Gu Wenlin paused, then sneered disdainfully, "What kind of sister, just sharing the same blood, that's all. People from the Gu Family never take such things to heart."

The education they received from a young age was cold-blooded, selfish, prioritizing their own interests.

A sister who merely shared a bloodline but never lived together, what did that count for?

The producer clicked his tongue but said nothing more.

Gu Wenlin then immersed himself in the script, also keeping an eye on dance moves.

Inside the apartment, Gu Zhi rarely had a half-day break, while Dai Qian directly brought his work over to her place.

"This is the final script from the 'Little Alley Lady' crew, Director Zhang asks you to look at it more to get a feel, and there are a few CDs in between, all old movies, Director Zhang wants you to watch them all before joining the crew."

After saying this, Dai Qian remembered something and couldn't help but comfort her, "After all, you're still new to films; Director Zhang being so strict means he wants to train you."

Gu Zhi: "..."

With a blank face, she opened the folder, thinking to herself that Director Zhang was so old-fashioned—who still uses CDs to watch movies these days?

Besides, it seemed Director Zhang still wasn't fully confident in her.

But she didn't mind, as long as there was something to learn, it's good. Gu Zhi immediately found a DVD drive and inserted a CD to play the movie.

Dai Qian continued working on the side, pulling out a document from a pile of folders and handed it to her: "And this, it's the schedule for this episode of 'New Star Girl'; you have to leave tomorrow morning at six, take a look."

Gu Zhi distractedly glanced at it, saying nothing, only asking, "Is Gu Yiyi going too?"

Dai Qian was momentarily stunned, "No, the program team didn't invite her. But Gu Wenlin will be there."

Gu Zhi frowned slightly but didn't say anything more; she didn't mind whether they were going or not, she just didn't want to see them.

Remembering something, Dai Qian reminded her: "You still better be careful, these talent show variety programs are prone to conflict, last week's episode triggered a huge online war, the director hit the jackpot."

Fans of the S Class contestants tore into the A Class contestants, tore into Gu Zhi, tore into Gu Yiyi, tore into Gu Wenlin, it was a free-for-all.

Fans of the A Class contestants weren't pushovers either, they fought back online for seven days and nights.

Gu Zhi just responded with an 'mm', showing little reaction.

After watching the movie for a while, the doorbell rang, and both Dai Qian and Qu Qi sat up straight, eyes gleaming.

One was full of vigilance, the other ready for the drama.

Before Gu Zhi could say anything, Dai Qian got up hurriedly, face serious, "I'll get the door; it must be the ones from across the hall. You're working, can't be distracted."

Gu Zhi: "..."

Not necessary.

Dai Qian walked to the door with a vigilant look, peeked through the peephole, and was momentarily stunned. Immediately, he put on a smile, opening the door:

"Oh, it's Uncle, Aunt, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother! Come in, come in, Gu Zhi is watching a movie inside!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt several cold, oppressive gazes fall upon him.

Dai Qian: "..."
