Chapter 101 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 47
Ning Meng was already hesitant, and being dragged along like this, she immediately shrank back, clinging on tightly and refusing to move forward.
"Brother Shen, don't pull me..."
Her brother Shen didn't tolerate her. While dragging her forward, he said irritably, "Have you thought this through? The appointments are already made. If you don't go, you're just playing with Actor Gu and Actress Lin. Think about the consequences!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Meng finally stopped struggling and let him pull her away, but her face was pale and tears were falling down her face, all of which landed on her brother Shen's hands.
Shen Can withdrew his hand and shook it, his tone somewhat impatient, "Alright, you can leave by yourself."
Seeing Ning Meng slowly walking forward while sobbing uncontrollably, one might mistake her for someone about to be beheaded.
Shen Can irritably ran her fingers through her hair and said, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Why were you so obsessed with Gu Zezhi?"
Ning Meng sobbed, "I just like him. Gu Zezhi is so dazzling, who in the entertainment industry can compare to him?"
Shen Can raised an eyebrow. "So, if he didn't have his current status in the entertainment industry, if he were suppressed and could only play minor roles, you wouldn't like him, right?"
Ning Meng imagined it for a moment, her face stiffened, and then she shook her head, crying, "I...I don't know..."
She sobbed, her face filled with sorrow, and said, "He hurt me so deeply..."
Shen Can twitched his lips, glanced at Ning Meng, clicked his tongue, and looked somewhat uninterested.
He still thought Ning Meng was really deeply in love with Gu Zezhi!
Shen Can didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, after he apologized to Ning Meng this time, these things would have nothing to do with him anymore.
Ning Meng finally arrived at the door of the private room after dragging her feet. While she was still hesitating, Shen Can had already raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Ning Meng wasn't mentally prepared for what was to come, and Shen Can's direct knocking left her completely bewildered.
When she came to her senses, she was already standing in the private room, and Shen Can next to her was holding a wine glass and saying to Yun Qing, "Teacher Lin, I am also responsible for what happened before. I am really sorry. I will punish myself with three drinks."
While Ning Meng was lost in thought, Shen Can had already punished himself with three drinks for being late.
He drank three cups after three, but Ning Meng stood there stiffly without any reaction.
Shen Can glanced at Gu Zezhi, who was peeling melon seeds with his eyes down, then poured himself a drink and said, "Teacher Gu, I'm sorry..."
Gu Zezhi pulled Yun Qing's hand, carefully placed a small handful of melon seeds in her palm, and slowly said, "Alright, Shen Er, the person who made the mistake didn't say anything, but you're quite eager."
Shen Can was stunned for a moment. The title "Shen Er" was usually only used by close friends in wealthy circles.
He and Actor Gu don't seem to have much in common, right?
However, what he said makes a lot of sense. Ning Meng herself doesn't care, so there's no need for him to be so eager.
Although Ning Meng had been kind to him, given the Shen family's strength, that kindness had naturally already been repaid back then.
However, since it was by chance that Ning Meng saved his life, he still felt a sense of gratitude and wanted to help her one more time.
Unfortunately, Ning Meng is in such a state that there's no way to help her.
He personally brought Ning Meng here, thinking that since he was a member of the Shen family, if Ning Meng sincerely apologized, perhaps Gu Zezhi would show leniency out of consideration for the Shen family.
Ke Ningmeng stood there, showing no intention of apologizing at all, and even looked resentful and unwilling.
Shen Can looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
He suddenly lost interest and didn't want to care anymore.
What's he after?!
However, he still picked up his glass and said, "This apology is my own; I do bear responsibility."
He said that and then immediately started doing it.
Gu Zezhi chuckled and said, "Good that you know. I accept your apology, but there's no need to continue the punishment. Didn't your brother already teach you a lesson?"
Shen Can looked completely bewildered and blurted out, "How did you know my brother beat me up?"
Shen Can, this playboy, is quite different from ordinary playboys.
Although he was a lazy bum, he never did anything outrageous.
Moreover, he did not rebel against his family, nor did he dislike his outstanding older brother.
Instead, he always flatters his brother and has no intention of fighting with him for the family fortune.
Every year, his birthday wish is for his brother to live to be a hundred years old, so that he can hold shares, have endless money, and continue to be a carefree playboy.
This made his brother feel resentful, as if he was just working for him, and his younger brother even expected him to work for him until he was a hundred years old!
For this reason, his brother has jokingly scolded his younger brother more than once for being too much of a jerk.
Looking at the bewildered Shen Can, Gu Zezhi calmly said, "I let him beat me up."
Shen Can: !!!
"You know my brother?"
"classmate."
Shen Can suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You're the Gu brother my brother was talking about, the one with such a great eye for investment but who doesn't do his job properly?"
His brother and he are an elite and a playboy, respectively, and their social circles are different.
He had heard the name "Brother Gu" from his brother more than once, but he had never met him. Who would have thought that he was actually the movie star Gu!
Shen Can suddenly rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Gu, I was too embarrassed to say this earlier, but I'm actually a fan of yours. You see how good you are with my brother, how about I get an autographed photo?"
Yun Qing: ...What's going on here?
This Shen Can is actually a fan of Gu Zezhi, and his brother is also Gu Zezhi's classmate, and they seem to have a close relationship.
No wonder that in the original storyline, after Gu Zezhi and Ning Meng's relationship was provoked to a further step by him, he simply disappeared without a trace, never jumping out to compete again and getting slapped in the face.
Gu Zezhi nodded. "Sit down."
Shen Can sat down with a cheerful smile.
Then Ning Meng was left standing there all by herself.
General Manager Gao and Director Zhang kept their eyes down and their minds at ease; their only responsibility was to make the connections, and nothing else mattered to them.
Ning Meng felt embarrassed. She had come to apologize, but she just couldn't bring herself to say "I'm sorry."
When Yun Qing looked at her, she felt as if she had been slapped twice, her cheeks burning.
She looked humiliated and couldn't help but look at Shen Can, but Shen Can ignored her completely and just urged the waiter to bring the food quickly.
The food at this restaurant is delicious, but it's also time-consuming and laborious, as the dishes need to be ordered well in advance.
The location was chosen by Director Zhang, but the dishes were ordered by Shen Can. After all, as the one making amends, he couldn't let Director Zhang treat him, could he?
As a playboy, Shen Can has a great appetite and is very generous.
So after the dishes were served, Yun Qing lost all interest in Ning Meng and focused solely on eating.
Ning Meng felt that Yun Qing was deliberately giving her the cold shoulder.
Seeing everyone else eating and drinking well, chatting and laughing, while she stood alone on the side like a fool, she could no longer bear the humiliation and ran away, wiping away her tears.
Shen Can's face turned pale with anger.
