a sky-high price to buy a peace talisman for his wife. Is there no place for him to spend so much moneySu Ke Xin was also stunned, wanting to tell Gu Chi that it wasn't necessary, but Gu Chi held her...The success of also made him a hot and well-known director. This drama has become one of the representative works in his directing career.

Okay, Gu Ke'yu is here too, so everyone from our crew is gathered. Please take your seats quickly, the celebration banquet for our "Viper Beauty" is officially starting!

It was rare for Qi Dao to speak so much in one go, which left Gu Ke Yu feeling incredibly touched.

She was surrounded by people congratulating her, and she was in high spirits. After taking her seat, her eyes naturally sought out the two figures she knew best—Si Nian and Tang Lijia.

Upon seeing the two of them, she hurried over and sat down with them.

"It's been a long time, Si Nian, Tang Li..."

Gu Ke'yu enthusiastically greeted Si Nian and Tang Lijia, but unexpectedly, after she arrived, Tang Lijia stood up and left directly. The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Gu Ke'yu looked at Tang Liji, who suddenly stood up and left, her face full of confusion. She could only turn her head and ask Si Nian in a low voice.

"What happened to Tang Lijia Did I offend her"

Si Nian gave Gu Ke Yu a helpless glance, letting out a sigh.

"Don't you even pay attention to what people are saying about online Everyone is praising your role as Bai Lu Wang, but the female lead played by Tang Li Jia is being criticized as a white lotus, a silly and sweet character. They're praising you, a villainous supporting actress, to the heavens, while tearing down this righteous female lead. Would you be happy about that"

Gu Ke Yu only reacted after hearing Si Nian's words, realizing that it was difficult to have lasting friendships in the entertainment industry. Public opinion from third parties also played a big role.

However, Gu Ke Yu has always taken things as they come. Feelings are something you can't force, whether it's love or friendship.

Gu KeYu sighed, and didn't have any other reaction. He raised his head but found that Si Nian was looking at him with a strange expression as well.

Gu Ke'yu was taken aback, just about to ask Si Nian what was wrong, when Si Nian spoke first.

"Gu Ke Yu, I ask you, what is your relationship with Jiang Ying Han"

Si Nian's tone was serious, causing Gu Ke Yu to be taken aback for a moment, feeling a little at a loss.

What on earth is going on today Why is everyone coming to ask her about her relationship with Jiang Yinghan

Gu Ke Yu looked at Si Nian's serious expression and suddenly remembered that when she was on set, Si Nian seemed to mind her relationship with Jiang Yinghan quite a bit.

Gu Ke Yu looked at Si Nian's expression, and in her eyes, he saw undisguised hostility and jealousy. His heart skipped a beat.

Does Si Nian like Jiang Yinghan!

If it were anyone else, Gu Ke'yu wouldn't care so much. But Si Nian was different. Si Nian wasn't just a friend Gu Ke'yu considered decent; more importantly—Si Nian's background.

Gu Ke Yu had long suspected that Si Nian's background was not simple, she should be the child of some noble family. A girl of her status, liking a male star, would have enough capital to approach and pursue him.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Ke Yu was even more certain that Si Nian must have feelings for Jiang Ying Han.

Thinking of this, Gu Ke'yu let out a sigh in his heart. This was truly unfortunate.

She hurriedly explained to Si Nian, afraid that this little girl would misunderstand her and Jiang Yinheng.

"We've only met a few times, so we just know each other, that's all. It's not a big deal."

"Really Then why are there rumors about you everywhere now"

Si Nian's eyes were still full of suspicion.

Gu Ke Yu replied somewhat helplessly.

"You said it was just a rumor! Think about it, Jiang Yinhang hates hype so much. The more our rumors spread, the more he'll dislike me!"

Jiang Yinghan did indeed dislike her at first, Gu Ke'yu truthfully said.

Indeed, Si Nian's face had softened considerably.

"From now on, you are absolutely forbidden to collaborate with Jiang Yinghan again!"

Si Nian pouted, her face full of anger as she warned.

"Alright, alright, we definitely won't cooperate. You can rest assured."

This time, she was truly determined to keep her distance from Jiang Yinghan.

She's absolutely someone you shouldn't mess with. She wouldn't want to offend Si Nian because of a man; that would be like signing her own death warrant.

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out from the private room.

"Wow! How did Jiang Yinghan get here!"

Gu Ke's heart suddenly felt a twinge of unease.

Lift your head quickly and see Jiang Yinghan walking through the crowd, surrounded by people, a single green amidst the throng.

Though Jiang Yinghan didn't personally star in *The Serpent and the Beauty*, he participated in the celebration banquet because the theme song he sang was a huge hit. Besides, JiaShi invested heavily in this drama and had its own artists participating, so he came to join the banquet for some publicity.

The man began scanning the room as soon as he entered, as if searching for someone. When his gaze met Gu Ke's, it stopped.

Gu Ke'yu suddenly turned her head, avoiding his gaze, and Jiang Yinhán just kept looking at her.

Actually, he wanted to come over and greet Gu Ke'yu, but unfortunately, he was surrounded by people drinking and chatting, making it impossible for him to break free. Especially when he saw Gu Ke'yu avoiding eye contact, his heart sank, and his brows furrowed in frustration.

Seeing that the man was trapped and didn't come over, Gu Ke'yu let out a long sigh of relief. She was afraid he would come over and talk to her, otherwise she would definitely be a little embarrassed.

If the two of them seem particularly familiar, wouldn't that expose what I just talked about with Si Nian

On the other hand, Si Nian next to him seemed a little nervous. He kept adjusting his clothes and hairstyle, his face and ears were flushed red, like a ripe apple in autumn, making people's hearts flutter.

Gu Ke Yu was even more certain of his own thoughts. He saw Si Nian's little thoughts clearly, plainly.

After a while, the place filled up with people. The first few tables were full, and the back was reserved for investors. There would definitely be big shots bringing relatives and friends to see the stars too, so they were all seated in the back.

Gu Ke Yu had been avoiding Jiang Ying Han, afraid that he would find an opportunity to look for her. So she always sat in the dark corners, trying not to be found by him.

Somebody shouted, “Here comes Mr. Li! We welcome you from afar. Please come this way.”

Let's all stand up and welcome, especially the director team and all the actors, because they are after all shareholders of Jiase.

The man with a big belly, who was in middle age, was Li Zong. He was accompanied by a tall and beautiful female assistant. The two of them seemed very mismatched together.

This kind of middle-aged man in the entertainment industry is no stranger to all kinds of beauties throwing themselves into his arms. Some want to try and secure resources for themselves, and others just want a piece of the pie.

Having met this man in a past life, Gu Ke Yu naturally knew what kind of person he was. His lecherous expression would never change.

Mr. Li had previously been physically abusive towards her, and she was well aware of how he treated her in his past life.'s lost toy accidentally. 。She thought, Gu Chi must have seen the toy and thought of Meng Bao, right But because Gu Chi was a man, he didn't want to cry in front of Cheng Ke Xin, so he could only hide...
