Chapter 36 Manta Rose, you really dare to go? I'll kill myself...
"I haven't even been missing for a year, and you're already in such a hurry to declare me dead, Mr. Gu? Aren't you being a little too hasty?"
Xia Weiwei walked straight towards Gu Yousheng, who himself was unaware that he was backing away.
Xia Weiwei noticed the playful glint in his eyes: "President Gu, are you afraid of me?"
Gu Qianyue stood up and rushed to Gu Yousheng.
Xia Weiwei's smile deepened: "Little sister, you have no right to interrupt when your older sister is talking to Dad."
Xia Weiwei snapped her fingers, and two bodyguards behind Lu Yanzhou came up and dragged Gu Qianyue out.
"You're too arrogant!"
"here it is……"
Xia Weiwei covered her ears with one hand, and the bodyguard, sensing the situation, covered Gu Qianyue's mouth.
The bodyguard used some force, and Gu Qianyue could only make muffled sounds.
"Ah Yue..." Gu Yousheng called out, not rushing forward. Seeing that the situation was really beyond saving, he shamelessly smiled and said, "Ah Yue, I'm so glad you're alright. You scared your father to death."
Everyone recognized that the first "A-Yue" in the sentence was Gu Xianyue.
How shameless.
The people sitting below vaguely guessed that the entertainment industry and wealthy families were all about the same old things: mistresses, infidelity, and illegitimate daughters.
"dad?"
"What father would want to kill his daughter?"
Xia Weiwei nodded to Gu Yousheng's assistant, who then took a USB drive out of his bag and plugged it into the computer.
Gu Yousheng was too wary and lunged to grab the computer. Lu Yanzhou nodded to a bodyguard, who then stepped forward and pinned him to the ground.
On the projector was a video of Gu Yousheng and Gu Qianyue plotting.
Gu Yousheng: "Now that she has made her stance clear, she will not transfer the betrothal gifts she received to me, and she has not even invited me. Since that is the case, I have no daughter."
“There has been heavy snow in Hokkaido recently, and she is afraid of the cold, so we let her go to Hokkaido to participate in an event, and then she doesn’t need to come back.”
“Dad, you’re so smart. When she participates in the activity, I’ll arrange for some people to guide her into the refrigerated container.”
"Be careful not to get caught."
"Don't worry, Dad."
Even though the people below were mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they heard the truth.
There really are fathers in this world who are so heartless and biased.
Xia Weiwei brings in so much revenue that her income alone is more than enough to support the entire company.
They really don't know what's good for them, insisting on offending the God of Wealth.
The people below looked at Gu Yousheng with deep contempt.
"No, how could Dad treat you badly? It was Gu Qianyue who misled Dad," Gu Yousheng hurriedly explained.
How can this person be so shameless!
He has absolutely no sense of shame!
Xia Weiwei's brows furrowed, and acid reflux kept rising from her stomach. A warm palm landed on her shoulder, and Xia Weiwei turned around to see Lu Yanzhou's determined gaze.
She also read the meaning in Lu Yanzhou's eyes—
If you don't want to face it, let me do it.
He stood behind her, giving her strength.
No, she wants to do it herself.
Xia Weiwei then tossed a USB drive to her assistant. When the drive was opened, everyone saw every single transaction Xia Weiwei had made for the company since she entered the industry.
“In our contract, I was supposed to receive 30% of all my endorsement fees, film remuneration, and commercial fees for attending events. But as you can see, I ended up receiving less than 3%.”
“This money is enough for me to pay the penalty for breach of contract, Gu Yousheng, I want to terminate the contract with you.”
Looking at Xia Weiwei's confident expression, Gu Yousheng knew that he could no longer control her.
He stopped pretending and a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"Taking 3% is already my mercy. Don't push your luck. From childhood to adulthood, everything you've eaten, worn, and used has been paid for by me. Xia Weiwei, without me, would you still be standing here? Would you still be this dazzling superstar?"
"Gu Xianyue, you are my daughter. It's okay for fathers and daughters to have some conflicts."
"I'll pretend this never happened."
“From now on, you will still be a shining star who makes money for your dad, and your dad will still be your dad.”
"Shut up!"
Xia Weiwei's eyes flashed with malice, her chest felt tight with anger, yet her heart felt a little lighter.
He destroyed the last vestige of their kinship with his own hands.
Xia Weiwei turned to look at Lu Yanzhou, who understood and handed the contract in his hand to Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei slapped the contract hard across Gu Yousheng's face.
Gu Yousheng's face was cut by the sharp edge of the paper, and blood gushed out instantly.
Gu Yousheng hissed in pain, not caring what the contract was, and raised his hand to hit Xia Weiwei.
However, he forgot his situation; the bodyguards were controlling him, and he couldn't move.
The bodyguard exchanged a glance with Lu Yanzhou behind Xia Weiwei, then stepped on Gu Yousheng's calf, causing Gu Yousheng to kneel on the ground in pain. The bodyguard then pressed down on his back, making him lie on the ground like a dog, to read the contents of the contract.
Gu Yousheng could no longer read what was written; he only saw a line of bold text—
Gu Xianyue holds 80% of the shares in Shangxing Entertainment.
impossible!
He personally owns 51% of the shares.
Gu Yousheng knew it was fake, and felt a sense of joy at escaping a desperate situation; he smiled.
"Don't you know? Your youngest daughter secretly sold your stocks."
"Here, this is your youngest daughter's authorization transfer agreement."
Xia Weiwei took another contract from Lu Yanzhou's hand. When she finished speaking, her expression was firm, and she threw the contract at Gu Yousheng's face again.
Gu Yousheng muttered disbelief under his breath, his eyes fixed on the sales date: December 23rd.
He remembered that Gu Qianyue had come to him with a contract that day. He wanted to see the contents of the contract, but Gu Qianyue pressed down on it and said it was a small project she had invested in herself, and she hoped her father would support it.
Aside from being brainless, Gu Qianyue's greatest strength was her obedience, so he signed the contract.
That's so brainless!
Xia Weiwei raised her eyebrows triumphantly and said to all the employees, "Now, I'm in charge of Shangxing Entertainment."
On the projector, the words "Gu Xianyue owns 80% of the shares" were already displayed in bold.
Everyone tactfully stood up at the same time: "Hello, President Gu."
Xia Weiwei waved her hand, signaling them to sit down, and then took the last contract from Lu Yanzhou's hand.
A contract severing ties between father and daughter.
Not long ago, she signed a contract severing ties with her mother.
It's fair to say they're very skilled at signing these kinds of contracts.
Xia Weiwei had already signed the contract. Even if Gu Yousheng didn't want to sign, the bodyguard would control his hand and make him sign his name.
After Gu Yousheng finished signing, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"You..."
As soon as Gu Yousheng opened his mouth, the bodyguard stepped on Gu Yousheng's back with as much force as he could, and Gu Yousheng instantly lost his breath and collapsed to the ground.
I can't bring myself to say anything more vicious.
Xia Weiwei felt a desolate numbness in her heart. She turned around and walked to Lu Yanzhou's side. Lu Yanzhou gave her a thumbs up and lowered his voice, "My wife is really amazing, really impressive."
Xia Weiwei raised her eyebrows proudly as the police knocked on the conference room door.
Li Xue fared better than Gu Yousheng, who would spend the rest of his life in prison, while Li Xue at least didn't.
When the police took Gu Yousheng away, they also took Gu Qianyue away.
Gu Qianyue was an accomplice, and Xia Weiwei had no intention of letting anyone go.
Before learning of Gu Yousheng's accident, netizens first learned that Xia Weiwei had returned safely, and secondly, that Shangxing Entertainment had changed its largest shareholder.
[Xia Weiwei V: I'm so sorry to have worried all my fans. Let bygones be bygones. I'm back safe and sound now.]
[Waaaaah, Vivi's okay! Thank God!]
[It must be the Buddha I prayed to who worked! I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!]
I know that heaven dared not take such a beautiful girl's life!
Will I see Vivi this New Year's Eve? [Looking forward to it!]
Xia Weiwei's Weibo posts are scheduled, and tens of thousands of comments appear within a second of being posted.
At this moment, Xia Weiwei had just seen Gu Yousheng off and hadn't even checked Weibo yet when someone had already leaked the news of the change of shareholders of Shangxing Entertainment online.
Has Upstream Entertainment changed its owner?
[Great! Finally, it's not Gu Yousheng! Our Weiwei shouldn't be bullied anymore, right? [suspicious face]]
Who is this Gu Xianyue? I've never heard of her before, but the name sounds familiar.
[Upstairs, I also feel this name looks familiar; where have I seen it before?]
Gu Xianyue and Gu Yousheng both have the surname Gu. Could they be related?
[No! Stop bullying our Weiwei! Weiwei has already suffered enough. I wonder if Shangxing Entertainment will offer any compensation for her disappearance this time. [So heartbreaking]]
While online discussions were in full swing, Xia Weiwei was still in the office handing over responsibilities to her colleagues.
"I'm sure everyone has accepted what happened today by now." The speaker was not Xia Weiwei, but Lu Yanzhou.
Everyone nodded, paying close attention.
"Then just keep everything that happened today to yourself."
Everyone was shocked. As expected of the successor cultivated by the Lu family in Hong Kong, he had a powerful aura and knew how to deal with rumors.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we will not mention a single word about it, not even to our own relatives and friends!"
One person declared their loyalty, and the rest followed suit, stating their positions.
Unfortunately, Lu Yanzhou was a businessman.
Lu Yanzhou snapped his fingers, and Zhang Quan walked in with the contract.
Each contract lists the names of the people who attended the meeting today.
Everyone lined up to receive their contracts from Zhang Quan. The first person to receive his contract opened it and was shocked by its contents.
Anyone who leaks even a single detail must publicly clarify the situation and remain Gu Xianyue's subservient party for life.
Holy crap!
Bull-horse contracts!
However, if I don't sign, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this room today.
Everyone cursed Gu Yousheng in their hearts again and again, but in the end they all signed the contract.
Xia Weiwei was unaware that Lu Yanzhou had arranged this. She randomly selected a few people and found that, apart from the different names, the content was exactly the same.
Lu Yanzhou's thoughtfulness is truly remarkable.
Xia Weiwei then realized that Lu Yanzhou probably didn't want to reveal their relationship.
After this incident, everyone should be able to guess the relationship between Lu Yanzhou and her, especially since Lu Yanzhou's hand was still clasped with hers when she walked out of the meeting room.
Fortunately, the sweater she was wearing today was loose, so her belly wasn't visible.
Xia Weiwei did not look back at Yousheng's office. Although she was the largest shareholder of Shangxing Entertainment and had veto power, she had been out of business management for too long. Lu Yanzhou would send someone to manage Shangxing Entertainment first, while she would take advantage of her pregnancy to catch up on her university knowledge.
Xia Weiwei learned on the plane that Lu Yanzhou had acquired shares in Shangxing Entertainment. At the time of the acquisition, the name was not hers, but it was later transferred to her name.
Xia Weiwei's first reaction was to give Lu Yanzhou money, but she didn't have that much. As she was thinking about what to do, she saw the warning in Lu Yanzhou's eyes and remembered the scene on the night of the 23rd when she mentioned money to him and he almost made her die of anger, so she didn't bring it up again.
However, she felt bad about receiving such a generous gift, but then she heard Lu Yanzhou's calm and indifferent tone.
"This is my engagement gift to you, why are you so nervous?"
Are there gifts for engagements?
There are gifts when you get a marriage certificate, gifts when both sets of parents meet, and now there are gifts for getting engaged.
"Now you know how much you owe me, right?" Lu Yanzhou's expression was smug again. "Think carefully about what engagement gift you're going to give me."
"Gu Xianyue, I only want the gift, not the money."
"You should know that I'm not short of money."
Inside the Bentley, Xia Weiwei patted her chest confidently: "Lu Yanzhou, I wasn't nervous, was I?"
The girl was in a panic, but no one could tell from inside.
"No, my wife is incredibly capable!"
"However, compared to my husband, I'm still a little lacking."
Lu Yanzhou gave her a thumbs-up and patted her shoulder earnestly: "Keep up the good work."
How smug!
Xia Weiwei turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
"Crossing the river and then burning the bridge." Lu Yanzhou's frustrated voice rang out, and her deliberately tense face finally broke down, and she burst into laughter.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Lu Yanzhou asked.
Why do she and Lu Yanzhou always revolve around what to eat when they're together? Is this what married life is like?
"I love anything you make."
Xia Weiwei ran her fingers across Lu Yanzhou's face, opened her phone, and screamed "Ah!"
"Lu Yanzhou, everyone knows Gu Xianyue now!"
Gu Xianyue, a name hidden in the dark corners of the world.
Lu Yanzhou gave a soft "hmm" with a hint of doubt and went to look at Xia Weiwei's phone.
#XiaWeiweiIsSafe# shocked everyone by becoming the number one trending topic, followed by #GuXianyueOnlineEntertainment# in second place.
Xia Weiwei never imagined that Gu Xianyue's name would see the light of day again.
[I finally remembered, Gu Xianyue is also a director of True Love Perfume. No wonder the name Gu Xianyue sounded so familiar.]
So who exactly is Gu Xianyue?
[The moon is on the boat: Perhaps Gu Xianyue is Xia Weiwei?]
【No, are you kidding me?】
A tall building was quickly erected below this person.
Xia Weiwei was unaware of what had happened; she was still processing it when Lu Yanzhou's words nearly shook her heart out.
"Your fans are asking you in the comments section of your Weibo post, 'Are you Gu Xianyue?'"
Xia Weiwei: "!"
Modern netizens have such sharp eyes!
How did they find out?
Xia Weiwei swallowed with difficulty and subconsciously asked Lu Yanzhou for advice.
“Ah Yue, whether it’s Xia Weiwei or Gu Xianyue, fans like you as a person, not your name.”
"Gu Yousheng has already denied your name; it's time for her to stand in front of the public."
"Don't you want everyone to call you Ah Yue?"
She thought!
She really wanted to!
Xia Weiwei took back her phone, logged onto Weibo, edited the post, and was about to post it when she paused and looked at Lu Yanzhou again.
"Ah Yue, be yourself."
Lu Yanzhou replenished her energy in this way.
[Xia Weiwei V: Gu Xianyue is indeed me. When I first entered the industry, I couldn't use my real name to meet everyone for certain reasons. Now, those unavoidable reasons have been resolved, and if you'd like, you can call me Gu Xianyue next time we meet!]
As soon as Xia Weiwei posted, the network crashed. She couldn't even refresh the page to see everyone's comments.
She was filled with anxiety.
What if people don't like her real name? That's her name, after all.
"No, our Yue's name is so beautiful, it should be widely known." Lu Yanzhou's gentle voice came, and Xia Weiwei realized that she was no longer thinking such nonsense.
Ten minutes later, the internet was restored, and #XiaWeiweiGuXianyue# had become the number one trending topic, with all the comments below it being the same—
[That sounds so nice, it's the moon!]
Why didn't I use this name when I entered the industry?
[It sounds so good!]
Xia Weiwei scrolled through hundreds of messages in one go, her smile widening. Suddenly, her phone was snatched away. She looked in the direction where the phone had been taken with displeasure, but her gaze finally settled on Lu Yanzhou.
"I'm a handsome guy right in front of you, and you don't even look at me, you're just playing on your phone?"
Xia Weiwei muttered, "We're not playing on our phones."
"From now on, you must look at me for at least ten minutes."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Are you sick?
Xia Weiwei was preoccupied with the fans' comments and bent down to grab the phone, but Lu Yanzhou held it high, and she fell into his arms.
Once Lu Yanzhou had his arm around her, he wouldn't let go.
Xia Weiwei struggled for a long time but couldn't break free. Finally, her almond-shaped eyes looked at Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou's eyes were dark and deep, and Xia Weiwei didn't dare to look at him for long, quickly looking away.
"Xia Weiwei, are you afraid of falling in love with me and that's why you don't dare to look at me?"
"Don't overthink it!" Xia Weiwei retorted, her gaze returning to the present.
The girl's eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of annoyance towards him, but no joy whatsoever.
Lu Yanzhou had his answer. Even if he was dissatisfied with the answer, he had to admit that Xia Weiwei didn't like him.
Lu Yanzhou felt a pang of unease, and Xia Weiwei seized the opportunity to snatch the phone away.
"Huh?" Lu Yanzhou said with dissatisfaction, as if complaining about her unfair victory. The girl held up her phone triumphantly, and seeing her bright smile, he felt relieved.
Seeing how happy she was, he forgave her this time.
Her Weibo was still filled with praise for her, and she finally felt relieved.
[What should I call Weiwei from now on? Yueyue or Weiwei?]
This question isn't unique to just one fan; many fans share this concern.
Xia Weiwei thought for a moment and then replied to this fan's comment.
[Xia Weiwei V: Please just call me Weiwei. Xia Weiwei has been with everyone for five years, and I've developed a bond with her. Besides, Xia Weiwei has so many fans who love her, she's very happy!]
The girl smiled sweetly, focused on her phone, and didn't even notice when Lu Yanzhou took a picture of her.
Looking at the photo, seeing the happiness surrounding Xia Weiwei, Lu Yanzhou changed the photo to his phone screen without hesitation.
Xiao Rong liked her Weibo post, and soon the two names were linked together, trending on social media.
Lu Yanzhou's phone received a notification about Xia Weiwei. He clicked on it and saw their names appear together. His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He coldly put away his phone and looked at Xia Weiwei, wondering why she was smiling so happily.
She is pregnant now and cannot look at her phone for long periods of time, as it is bad for her eyes.
Lu Yanzhou tried to snatch Xia Weiwei's phone again, but Xia Weiwei caught a glimpse of the man's movement and immediately hid the phone behind her back.
"Honey, Sister Yun just asked me if I want to go on stage with Xiao Rongyu for a New Year's Eve show on Hunan TV. What do you think, should I go?" Xia Weiwei asked with a smile. "The drama I filmed this year will air tomorrow, so I should go, since I need to promote the drama."
"Go if you want to, I won't stop you." Lu Yanzhou was referring to his wife Fangfang, and even gave her advice.
"It's best to wear a loose-fitting dress so that your belly isn't showing."
"Also, don't jump around, just sing, and keep the rhythm slow."
Xia Weiwei nodded seriously.
It seems that Lu Yanzhou really wants her to go.
Xia Weiwei smiled, the car was driving smoothly, and the topic was about to be over when suddenly she heard a whisper.
"Xia Weiwei, if you really dare to go, I'll kill myself."
