Chapter 17 : I've Got Your Back

  • Su Luoluo stumbled a bit as he pulled her.
  • When Su Luoluo heard that Gu Tingjun was going to take her to confront the Su family, her eyes widened.
  • She desperately shook her head, "I, I'm not going."
  • Gu Tingjun saw the fear in her eyes and thought she was scared. Wasn't this girl tough and arrogant in front of him?
  • "I've got your back," Gu Tingjun said.
  • These words were like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples to spread.
  • Su Luoluo's eyes gradually became moist. How good would it be if Gu Tingjun really had her back? For so many years, no one had ever cared about her thoughts.
  • She knew that Gu Tingjun just didn't want her to be bullied as "Mrs. Gu" and didn't want his authority to be challenged.
  • He even misunderstood that Su Huai'an was abusing her.
  • Seeing that Su Luoluo was unmoved, Gu Tingjun's handsome eyebrows furrowed, his face filled with frustration.
  • How could this usually clever girl be so timid?
  • Was Su Huai'an a ferocious beast?
  • "Su Luoluo, are you stupid? Since you were beaten when you went back, why did you still go these past few days?"
  • "Um..."
  • Last time, when she went to see her younger brother and older brother, she said she was going to see her father, so Gu Tingjun probably misunderstood.
  • She bit her lip and pulled her wrist out of Gu Tingjun's hand.
  • Let the misunderstanding be.
  • "Second Young Master, this is our family matter, you don't need to bother."
  • "Family matter?"
  • This Su Luoluo must have been sent by heaven to torment him.
  • Gu Tingjun's face tensed, "I am your husband."
  • 'Does the Second Young Master really consider me your wife?'
  • "..."
  • The girl's eyes were clear and pure, like a clear spring without any impurities.
  • Gu Tingjun felt a little guilty under her gaze. Su Luoluo laughed at herself and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
  • "Don't worry, no one else will notice the bruises on me. Even if they do, I won't let them misunderstand that it was you who did it."
  • "What?"
  • "Second Young Master, are you worried that your older brother and grandfather will question you? Worried that it will be said that you're abusive?"
  • "You... fine, very well."
  • Gu Tingjun's heart raced, and even veins popped up on his forehead. He was speechless under Su Luoluo's confrontation.
  • He left in a huff, slamming the door hard, which shook Su Luoluo's spirit.
  • She sat alone on the large double bed in her room. The moonlight quietly poured in through the window, casting a layer of silver-gray on the floor.
  • Everything was so quiet, desolate, and sad.
  • Her wounds were a bit painful. The medicinal wine Gu Tingjun had thrown aside earlier was picked up by her. She slowly applied it to herself.
  • She was strong, never afraid of anything.
  • She could handle it.
  • The next morning, Gu Tingjun didn't show up at the dining table. Was he still angry?
  • Well, that was good. She could go out and make money today. Otherwise, what would she do without any income?
  • As usual, Su Luoluo had the driver take her to the office building and then took the bus to the set...
  • This time, as Su Luoluo entered the entrance of the office building, the driver, Wang, called Gu Tingyun, "Young Master, this Mrs. Young is really strange. She comes to this shopping mall every day and never seems to buy anything..."
  • "I see."
  • Su Luoluo arrived a bit late today due to traffic. Just after she arrived, she was pulled aside by Zhou Dafu.
  • "Su girl, why did you just arrive? There's a new actress today, the second female lead in the drama. Be careful later."
  • "Zhou, it's just an actress, what's there to be afraid of? Is she a monster with three heads and six arms?"
  • Seeing Zhou's nervousness, she found it funny.
  • Her innocent face was pure and innocent.
  • Zhou Dafu sighed, "You, I'm just giving you some advice because you're a good person. This person is not ordinary. I heard she's the woman of the investor behind the scenes..."
  • "Oh."
  • Now it was clear.
  • Su Luoluo had seen this kind of thing before in the drama set. Everyone knew it but didn't talk about it.
  • Moreover, she was just a stand-in, taking the money and leaving every day. She didn't need to worry about the big shots.
  • "Hey, I heard this woman hasn't played any good roles before. If you're her stand-in, it might be tiring. Her name is... oh right, Tang Ran!"
  • At that moment, Su Luoluo was tidying up her clothes. As she heard Zhou Dafu's words, her eyeliner suddenly went askew.
  • She paused for a moment before finding her voice, "Zhou, what did you just say her name was?"
  • "Tang Ran. Do you know her?"
  • Su Luoluo's heart suddenly felt chaotic.
  • The world couldn't be this small, right? There were so many drama sets in Shanghai, why did she have to run into her? Was this what they called a narrow road for enemies?
  • In the morning, she went over to the waiting area. At lunchtime, while eating her boxed lunch, Su Luoluo was absent-minded.
  • Her identification was with the assistant director. She couldn't just quit on the spot. She had to face it head-on...
  • In the afternoon, there was suddenly an exclamation from the crowd. An expensive nanny car slowly stopped at the set, and everyone surrounded Tang Ran as she got out of the car.
  • She had a haughty look and didn't care about these people at all.
  • The director and assistant director went up to greet her, especially the assistant director who seemed like Tang Ran's servant. Su Luoluo blended into the crowd and watched, trying to lower her presence.
  • Finally, the introductions were over, and each department took their positions.
  • Su Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, but then a staff member suddenly took her into the dressing room.
  • Inside the dressing room.
  • "Su Luoluo, what a coincidence to see you here. I didn't expect that," Tang Ran said, lying on a reclining chair, wearing limited edition clothing.
  • She looked glamorous in the mirror.
  • Su Luoluo smiled back, "Are you afraid now that you've seen me?"
  • "What am I afraid of? Afraid of a stand-in like you?" Tang Ran laughed heartily, her eyes filled with a coldness. She gritted her teeth and said, "You should be the one who's afraid. I am the leading actress, while you are just a street rat, a bug in the sewer. You're not even worthy of shining my shoes. Believe me, with just a word, I can easily fire you."
  • As Su Luoluo looked at her fierce expression, she clenched her fists tightly.
  • They had been best friends for ten years, and she had betrayed herself to climb up, using herself as bait for resources!
  • And now, she wanted to destroy her job!
  • Su Luoluo laughed. The more she laughed, the more Tang Ran felt uneasy. "What are you laughing at?"
  • "I'm laughing at you. Why don't you look in the mirror? You looked so ferocious just now... so ugly."
  • "You!"
  • Tang Ran's nails dug into her palms. To her, Su Luoluo was just an insignificant pawn. How could she speak to her like this?
  • Although they both grew up in an orphanage, she had already become a soaring phoenix!
  • Su Luoluo, it served her right to rot and stink in the decaying sewer.
