Chapter 934: Biological Cousins

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi was about to get involved, but Gu Yang wasn’t interested.

Gu Yang smiled and asked, “You know my cousin, Ruan Chu, right?”

Yan Xi nodded. “I know. Sister Ruan Chu is very popular now. Each drama she stars in seems to be better than the last. Her ancient and modern costumes are both excellent. Not long ago, Han Xi gave me a role in the same production team as Sister Ruan Chu.”

Gu Yang asked, “What role does my cousin have?”

Yan Xi was excited. “Of course, she’s the female lead—the regent queen!”

Gu Yang wasn’t surprised. Although she didn’t see her cousin often, they kept in touch online, and she knew her cousin was the female lead in her current drama.

Gu Yang then asked Yan Xi, “And what about you?”

Yan Xi: “… I’m not worthy. Gu Yang, if you hadn’t asked, we’d still be good friends.”

Seeing Yan Xi’s downcast expression, Gu Yang raised her eyebrows. “You’ve just entered the entertainment industry, so it’s normal that your resources might not be the best. But what role did Han Xi assign you that makes you look so unhappy?”

She was curious.

Yan Xi was at a loss for words and couldn’t help but complain. “I play a dead person! Just one scene. It was so scary that I went to see what the director filmed and got so frightened I didn’t dare look in the mirror at night. I had a hard time getting over it, and now you’re bringing it up again.”

Gu Yang: “…”

Yan Xi continued to complain, “Han Xi said that even though this character is a female lead, it’s definitely memorable. Plus, it will completely separate me from you.”

“It’s easy to separate us. After all, who would link a scary ghost to a little fairy like Gu Yang? Who would dare to say they look alike?”

Yan Xi added, “If I didn’t know I’m in a rough spot right now and can’t even be bothered with haters, I’d suspect Han Xi is my number one hater.”

Gu Yang didn’t expect Han Xi to do this. She patted Yan Xi’s shoulder. “There will be better roles in the future. By the way, when will that drama air? Are you in that episode?”

Yan Xi: “…”

Yan Xi said, “It’ll be broadcast in a few days. The first episode starts with my death scene. It’s really scary. I’m worried it might not pass the review or get edited out.”

Yan Xi felt that since she had already been paid, it was best to cut ties. Otherwise, if she became a big star in the future, it would definitely be a dark mark on her history.

Gu Yang: “Okay, okay. No matter what, you’re my cousin and an artist in my dad’s company. I’ll definitely go and support you.”

Yan Xi: “Should I thank you?”

Gu Yang: “No need to.”

Yan Xi: “…”

Gu Yang continued, “If Tong Rao comes looking for you, what will you do?”

Yan Xi wasn’t worried. “I don’t know if she will come to me. Besides being good-looking, I only know how to sing, dance, and act.”

“Plus, I’m not popular yet. I don’t even have the influence to endorse Tong Corporation’s products. Why would she come looking for me? My main account is useless. I might as well create a new sub-account.”

Gu Yang, considering Tong Rao’s focus on benefits, thought it was possible.

“But you’re the only descendant she has now. She’s old, her health isn’t good, and she has a shadow over her past. She probably won’t have any more children.”

Gu Yang knew Tong Rao quite well. “You’re a Mutant, after all. If she believes you can still be useful to her, she might come looking for you.”

Yan Xi smiled and said, “That’s fine too. Although people can be a bit annoying, the Tong family’s assets are still valuable.”

Gu Yang: “…”

She thought Yan Xi might have something in common with Gu Shuda.

Gu Yang continued, “Tong Rao is extremely conceited and has a strong desire for control. If she decides to bring you back to the Tong family to cultivate you, she probably won’t let you continue in the entertainment industry.”

Yan Xi frowned, thinking for a moment. Then she looked at Gu Yang with a smile. “Yangyang, how about I make a deal with you so that you won’t lose anything?”
