Chapter 1779 - 644: White Moonlight vs. Substitute (Part 9)

Chapter 1779: Chapter 644: White Moonlight vs. Substitute (Part 9)

Gu Hong was so angry his eyes went red, and his two fists were clenched so tight they cracked.

The rich second generations watching the drama didn’t doubt at all that if anyone provoked him right now, this guy would definitely explode and start swinging.

Of course, among them were also Gu Hong’s real friends, and they were genuinely worried about him.

But worry was one thing; they still strongly disapproved of Gu Hong’s stunt with the substitute lover earlier.

They all felt very sympathetic toward this innocent girl "He Mengtian."

They were really afraid that in his fury, Gu Hong might do something irreversible to "He Mengtian."

At that point it wouldn’t just be some dog-blood mess between a man and a woman; it would drag in issues of morality and the law.

Don’t be fooled by how the news always breaks Eight Trigrams about idle rich brats causing trouble; in fact, most rich second generations are very "sensible."

It’s not that they’re model citizens who strictly follow every rule, it’s that they understand what they can do and what they absolutely shouldn’t do.

We’re in an age of developed information now. Short videos might still be a few years away, but certain blogs and certain forums already play a real role in supervising public opinion.

Not to mention, Gu Hong isn’t just any rich second generation; he’s the acting CEO of Gu Group. If a scandal breaks out, the impact on Gu Group would be even more serious.

"Hey, Old Gu, let it go, let it go!"

"Yeah, we’re all grown men here, why fuss with a little woman!"

"A breakup is a breakup; what’s past is past!"

Two or three of Gu Hong’s closest buddies hurried forward and grabbed hold of his arm.

One rich young master, wearing glasses and looking quite refined, spoke in Gu Hong’s stead, smiling as he said to He Tiantian, "Miss He, don’t say anything about paying the money back!"

"No matter what happened between you and Old Gu, I believe that when he gave you that money, his feelings for you were sincere, and he never expected you to return it!"

"As for the future, rest assured, Old Gu absolutely won’t bother you again!"

"Part peacefully, each live well!"

After saying all this, the guy with glasses didn’t forget to tug on Gu Hong’s arm and shoot him a subtle look, reminding him: "Old Gu, did I say it right?"

Gu Hong:...

The rage was still surging in his chest.

But he still picked up on his good brother’s reminder.

He took a deep breath. This matter was already embarrassing enough; he couldn’t afford to let it blow up further.

"Right!" he ground out between his teeth, echoing the words.

He really could refrain from openly making trouble for "He Mengtian," but he was the CEO of Mrs. Gu, after all.

Even if he couldn’t quite cover the sky with one hand in the Provincial City, quietly crushing an ordinary family was no problem.

Qin Anran was standing right in front of Gu Hong, so of course she didn’t miss the flash of cold light in his eyes.

Originally, she hadn’t wanted to get involved in the torturous romance between the male and female lead, the you-chase-I-flee drama, but her values and bottom line wouldn’t let her sit by while someone bullied others by abusing their power.

Besides, He Tiantian had just aired Gu Hong’s substitute game in public, and Qin Anran, as the other party involved, was also someone being offended.

If she didn’t make any sort of statement, wouldn’t people assume that she and her Qin Family were easy to push around?

She’d already been humiliated by Gu Hong to this extent; she had to take a stance.

This substitute game wasn’t some deep, devoted yearning for her—it was an insult!

She ignored Gu Hong and his two or three buddies, and instead turned toward He Tiantian, asking curiously, "He Mengtian, Miss He, I heard you just now say that if you’re given a month, you can earn three million?"

"I don’t mean any offense; I’m just genuinely curious—what method do you use to earn three million, or actually, even more money!"

"After all, you just said you want to return the money with principal and interest!"

Gu Hong and his buddies:...

What was Qin Anran getting at?

Asking this on purpose—did she refuse to just let the matter slide?

Or was she trying to stand up for He Mengtian?

I mean, even if they both resented Gu Hong at this moment, that doesn’t necessarily make them friends.

Not every "enemy of my enemy" can form an alliance.

The relationship between Qin Anran and He Mengtian was more like being indirect love rivals!

"I know how to play the stock market, and besides that, I bet on Horse Gambling."

He Tiantian looked at Qin Anran with a complicated expression.

This time, her "complicated" look wasn’t an act; she really was a bit confused.

Sharp and perceptive as she was, how could she not sense that Qin Anran was helping her?!

I mean, this woman was a Wild Writer; wasn’t she supposed to Reverse the female lead?

She and the original female lead were supposed to have a naturally antagonistic relationship.
