There was a flood of negative comments and ridicule on the Internet, as well as fans’ declarations of quitting being fans.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan lost her appetite and quickly sent a message to Luo Juntian.
Yuanyuan loves to eat grass: “Teacher Luo, have you seen it?”
Luo Juntian: “I saw it.”
Yuanyuan loves eating grass: “What will you do now? Do you want to clarify it quickly? Do you need my help?”
Luo Juntian sent a smiley face, and then slowly sent a line of text: “How do you want to help me?”
Yuanyuan loves to eat grass: “I can find my son and ask him to help you.”
Luo Juntian: “This is probably not appropriate.”
Yuanyuan loves to eat grass: “Teacher Luo, don’t be polite. If Nie Yu can help, I will go and talk to him.”
Luo Juntian didn’t speak for a long time. After a while, he replied: “I’m not familiar with Mr. Nie. I’m always embarrassed to trouble him. How about this? You can help me mention this matter to Mr. Nie and ask his view.”
Yuanyuan loves to eat grass: “…Oh, okay.”
After finishing the WeChat chat, Gu Yuan looked at the chat history. Why should she ask her son’s “opinion”? What did it mean?
The more Gu Yuan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so much so that she got stuck twice during filming in the afternoon.
Until she walked into the resting balcony upstairs and saw Nie Yu there holding a management book and studying hard, an idea flashed in her mind and she suddenly understood.
It was Nie Yu!
A long time ago, he had come over with Luo Juntian’s dirty information to show her, but now he just ended up exposing it himself?
Gu Yuan tried her best to suppress this suspicion. She couldn’t think the worst about her own son, but once the thought came up, she couldn’t suppress it no matter what!
At this time, Nie Yu looked up and saw his mother. He suddenly smiled: “Mom, you are back. You see, I read more than three hundred pages in one breath today. I also plan to make a note of my experience and give it to you later to have a look.”
The young man had a bright smile, which was very charming.
This was her own son, she must believe in him, she must trust him.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, brainwashed herself, and finally stepped forward, checked his homework as if nothing had happened, and then said with satisfaction: “You did a good job.”
Nie Yu smiled with his white teeth showing, looking proud and well-behaved: “Of course, I have been a genius since I was a child, and I am no worse than Ji Qisen!”
Gu Yuan: “That’s your brother.”
Nie Yu: “Yes, yes, I mean I’m not worse than my brother!”
Gu Yuan smiled and looked at such a well-behaved, sensible, considerate and progressive son, and suddenly said: “Nie Yu, Teacher Luo has been hacked, do you know?”
When Nie Yu heard this, he narrowed his eyes: “Really? How could he be hacked? What happened?”
Gu Yuan looked at her son: “Are you very concerned about Teacher Luo?”
Nie Yu: “Of course, my mother is filming with Teacher Luo now. Teacher Luo has helped you a lot. Of course, I would like to thank him on my mother’s behalf.”
Gu Yuan: “That’s good. I don’t know how to talk to you. Teacher Luo was hacked this time. I’m afraid someone is targeting him secretly. Go and help find out who is so organized. Who is hiring the navy behind him? After you find out, tell me and we will go to court directly to vent Mr. Luo’s anger.”
Nie Yu was slightly startled.
Gu Yuan smiled softly; “What’s wrong, son? Are you having trouble?”
Nie Yu shook his head: “It’s nothing. Can’t Mr. Luo’s own agency handle it? It’s always inappropriate for us to intervene on other’s behalf.”
Gu Yuan: “Teacher Luo’s agency will handle it, but it’s just to help suppress this matter. Son, you are the prince of the entertainment industry. It should be easy for you to investigate this matter, right?”
Nie Yu’s eyes moved slightly and nodded: “Yes, it’s not difficult to find out. Well, leave this matter to me. I will definitely find out the real culprit behind the scenes.”
After Gu Yuan said this, she said that she was going back to her room. When she went downstairs, she deliberately made a sound of stepping on the stairs.
After walking several steps, she tiptoed upstairs, and then quietly hid behind a green plant to listen.
She saw her well-behaved and obedient son talking on the phone with his subordinates.
“You should stop this matter first.”
“What? The revelation plan hasn’t been completed yet? Then don’t do it yet, stop it first.”
“For subsequent arrangements, please follow my instructions.”
She listened quietly, then watched her son finish the call.
Nie Yu held his phone in his pocket and looked at the lawn outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling window, his long and beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
He was also helpless. He didn’t expect that his mother would make such a request to him.
Originally, Luo Juntian’s matter had nothing to do with him, but now that his mother had brought it up, he wanted to be a good baby.
Slightly shrugging his shoulders, Nie Yu whistled: “Never mind it, anyway, there is no symptom found in the test, so I will say that I can’t find it!”
After saying this, he planned to go downstairs and order some juice.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw his mother, standing quietly at the stairs. It looked like she had been standing for a long time.
Nie Yu was immediately frightened.
Gu Yuan looked at her son helplessly.
She had even thought that her son could not do such a thing, and tried her best to brainwash herself. But in the end, it was him who did it?
What did this make her?
He said one thing to her face and another behind her back. It was really sad for her to hear it with her own ears.
She sat there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Different from the mentality when she first saw Nie Yu teasing the little girl, now that she saw Nie Yu doing something wrong, she began to reflect on herself. What did she not do well enough? Didn’t she explain herself clearly?
Why did he do this? Was he insecure?
Was he afraid that if Luo Juntian was also her son, then she would prefer Luo Juntian over him?
A thousand and ten thousand thoughts came to Gu Yuan’s mind.
And at this moment, Nie Yu had a thousand thoughts running through his mind. Should he pretend to be cowardly and cry to his mother, “I was wrong,” or should he confidently say that this Luo Juntian was not a good thing in the first place, so he was doing justice for heaven.
Or simply don’t explain anything, look up at the sky and act like I am invincible and I just won’t explain?
The three choices kicked around in Nie Yu’s mind for a while. He finally raised his head and said with a heavy face: “Mom, actually I am doing this for your own good, do you know?”
Gu Yuan had prepared many words, which were full of mother-child love and motherly thoughts. She was organizing them to say them in the most appropriate way, but suddenly, she heard this sentence.
There was confusion on her face for a moment. Why did she think this line should be hers?
She looked at her son and had to say, “Really?”
Nie Yu bit his upper lip, looking helpless as a good boy. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Qisen next to him: “Brother knows what’s going on. Let him tell you.”
Elder brother?
Ji Qisen, who had no sense of existence and was just sitting aside to watch the show, raised his eyebrows slightly. When did Nie Yu call him brother so easily? Didn’t he usually say hateful words to Ji Qisen with every mouthful?
Gu Yuan: “Why did Qisen tell you that you did this?”
Nie Yu took a deep breath, and with the courage to tell the whole story, he said heartbrokenly: “Brother said that this Luo Juntian has evil intentions against our mother. I think what he said makes sense, so I checked it out. Something happened, and guess what?”
Gu Yuan; “What’s wrong?”
Nie Yu: “Mom, do you still remember the dirty information I sent you about Luo Juntian? Those are actually true, including his tax evasion. He actually evaded a lot of taxes by raising donations. A large part of his income even goes into some so-called medical institutions in an obscure way, but you have never heard of the names of those medical institutions!”
Gu Yuan was confused: “Is there such a thing?”
Nie Yu: “Yes, my brother can testify to all these things!”
Nie Yu unceremoniously dragged Ji Qisen into the water again. This is the so-called sharing of difficulties, brother Qisen, don’t run away.
Gu Yuan looked at her other son Ji Qisen: “Is what Nie Yu said true?”
Under his mother’s gaze, Ji Qisen pondered for a moment and then said: “It does seem that there is such a thing, but there is no conclusive evidence at the moment.”
Nie Yu suddenly interrupted him: “There is no conclusive evidence that Luo Juntian committed any murders and arson, but he did collude with illegal research institutions. Combined with the possibility that he was suspected of taking drugs before, we have reason to suspect that he may be secretly researching a drug.”
Ji Qisen raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes to the lawn outside the French window.
On the lawn, workers were pruning the dead branches and leaves.
He looked at the lawn seriously, thinking about any loopholes in the recent acquisition.
Gu Yuan was surprised: “A drug?”
Nie Yu: “Yes!”
Gu Yuan looked for help to her other son, who was obviously more reliable.
Ji Qisen: “We don’t know this, but there are indeed some secrets about this person. There must be some reason and some greed for him to take such good care of you mother. What do you think, mother?”
Ji Qisen had always been reliable, so much so that when Gu Yuan heard these words, she began to doubt her own judgment for a moment.
But Luo Juntian, his smile was gentle and his eyes were full of sunshine. He could always solve her problems in a few words when she was confused. His breath was warm and refreshing, which made her feel close to him unconsciously.
Her son said that such a person was related to some secret manufacturing of drugs?
Why was it so unbelievable?
Gu Yuan: “But I don’t think he is such a person, he -“
Nie Yu: “Mom! There is nothing in this industry that I don’t know. You don’t understand the entertainment industry. Think about it, when you first started filming, did you expect this of Director Wang? Mom, you are just too naive.”
As he spoke, he gave Ji Qisen a crazy look.
Ji Qisen was noncommittal: “Mom, I don’t know much about Luo Juntian, but stars in the entertainment industry have a glamorous appearance, but in fact their private lives are very chaotic. This is true.”
After hearing this, Nie Yu glared at him fiercely. What’s the use of this? It doesn’t work at critical times!
He had no choice but to do it himself: “Yes, Mom, there is really a lot of dirty information about him. If you don’t talk about other things, just talk about his life experience, I found a lot of doubts -“
Just as he was saying this, Butler Zhuge came over.
Nie Yu: “Butler Zhuge, we are talking to mom. If you have anything to do, please talk about it later.”
Butler Zhuge looked at his young master respectfully, and secretly wondered in his heart. Before, the young master looked as if he had been caught for doing something bad. Why did he suddenly turn against the guest and seemed to be instructing his mother?
However, this was not something he could worry about. He said respectfully: “Master, a guest is here.”
Guest? How could such a dishonest customer come to the door at this time?
Nie Yu: “Who is it?”
Butler Zhuge: “Mr. Luo Juntian.”
Gu Yuan was a little worried when she heard this. Could it be that Luo Juntian already knew that her son did this and came to find trouble with her son?
When Nie Yu heard the words Luo Juntian, he immediately frowned and said with guarded face: “What is he here for?”
Butler Zhuge: “In addition to Mr. Luo Juntian, there is also a middle-aged man. From what I hear, he is Mr. Luo Juntian’s father.”
When the mother and son heard this, they looked at each other.
Ji Qisen frowned, then seemed to realize something, and his expression paused.
Nie Yu, on the other hand, didn’t understand that if it was found out, everyone would sit down and talk about it. If it didn’t work, he would go to court. Why did he call his dad here?
As for Gu Yuan, she suddenly had a strange feeling, as if her child was causing trouble and the parents were called.
“Then, please invite people in.”
When Luo Juntian and his father were welcomed into the living room, Gu Yuan felt uneasy. She remembered that when she was a child, she was hit on the head by a boy from the next class. When her mother came to their home, the other parents must have felt this way.
Gu Yuan was ready with a smile. She had to talk to others and try to make things as peaceful as possible. Her Nie Yu was not very sensible. She would say sorry, ask Nie Yu to apologize to others, and would solve the problem with sincerity.
However, when she looked at the visitor with a smile, the smile suddenly froze on her face.
Accompanying Luo Juntian, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in with his hair meticulously combed. Although he was about fifty years old, he exuded the aura of an elegant scholar.
Gu Yuan looked at that person, and in a daze, she suddenly thought of twenty-seven years ago.
Twenty-seven years ago, when she was running around for money for treatment, she came to the young doctor and told him her plight. The doctor handed her a glass of warm water and patiently listened to her talk about her situation.
After that, she gave her life to him, and he spent all his efforts to heal her.
When she suffered the indifference of her relatives, the betrayal of her boyfriend, and watched helplessly as the opportunity to become famous overnight slipped away through her fingers, he had always been by her side to comfort her.
He told her that life was a dangerous narrow valley, and only brave people could pass it. He told her that everyone’s life was an uncut gem, and if you put in the hard work, you would be able to wait for the flowers to bloom.
That man’s name was Luo Sinian.
The last person she saw before twenty-five years of slumber.
It was as if she had slept, and when she woke up again, such a long time had passed by. She did not wait to see Luo Sinian twenty-five years later, because she was afraid of seeing the traces of time and the past. And that his beauty would have long been erased by time.
Now, inadvertently, she saw him again, the man who was already in his fifties.
The outlines still had the familiar appearance of the past, and the eyes and eyebrows had not changed, but the years had finally left their traces on the face of that handsome and elegant man.
Twenty-five years later, he was still smiling, as calmly and gently as before.
The moist liquid filled Gu Yuan’s eyes uncontrollably. She took a deep breath and finally called: “Doctor Luo, long time no see.”
Luo Sinian looked at Gu Yuan in front of him with a smile: “For you, it was only a few months, but for me, it has been twenty-five years.”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuan burst into tears.
