Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 64: Emperor Qi Living Next Door

Gu Zhi forwarded the tweet from the gossip account: I’m not blind.

A lot of fans and haters were already waiting for Gu Zhi’s response. As soon as she tweeted, they immediately came to watch.

Enjoying the moment: Hahaha, you go, girl! Good clapback! Just because a girl talks to a guy a few times doesn’t mean she’s trying to cling to him. Women need to support women.

I knew it: Support my wife! I just knew it, my wife isn’t that blind. What Gu Family’s Second Young Master? Can he even match my wife’s divine looks? [Image]

Teddy Bear: /cry Poor beautiful sister, now I’m starting to suspect some family is crazily exploiting Sister Zhizhi. Doesn’t anyone know that Gu Family’s Second Young Master is joining a live reality show next week? [Image]

Some netizens released a screenshot of a rumor about Gu Wenfan going to participate in "Dear Family." The picture was shared from Gu Yiyi’s super topic.

For a moment, many netizens realized that some people were using Gu Zhi to create hype ahead of time.

The haters became even more furious after seeing Gu Zhi’s response.

Beside the mountains: See, isn’t it obvious? After being rejected, they start slandering the other side? The Second Young Master of the Gu Family is really pitiful!

Strawberry-flavored Soda: /angry Roll your eyes, you’re not blind? Does the Gu Family even care about you? You’ll never marry into a wealthy family in this lifetime!

Physics World: ...Just saving face.

Despite Gu Zhi having responded, it didn’t matter to the haters. Netizens continued tearing each other apart.

In an apartment, a girl looked at the online comments and trends, feeling very conflicted.

She flipped through the photos in her camera over and over again.

They were all taken in the past few days, photos of Gu Yiyi on the set.

Several times, she saw Yiyi approach Gu Zhi to chat proactively, and every time, she got rebuffed.

Yet Gu Zhi remained beautifully alone on set, enjoying her peace, either looking at scripts or playing on her phone during breaks.

She couldn’t understand Yiyi’s behavior—knowing that Gu Zhi didn’t like her, yet still persistent in approaching.

Moreover, from the last online clarification about Gu Zhi, it seemed she hadn’t actively caused trouble either.

Could it be there’s another hidden truth this time?

After hesitating for a while, she couldn’t help but switch to the new account she just registered yesterday and tweeted:

I Don’t Like Gu Zhi!: I’ve had the chance to meet Gu Zhi a few times. Initially, I also thought she was that cunning and manipulative woman the internet made her out to be. But in private, she’s nothing like that! Uh...a bit aloof, but also very warm. She offers help and reminds people to stay safe. In short, she’s a cold yet cool sister.

Moreover, she’s extraordinarily beautiful! Standing in front of her, you’ll truly understand what a beauty crush feels like! I cried, never seen such a beautiful celebrity!! Her looks are beyond criticism. [Image]

Netizens burst into laughter upon seeing her post.

Lonely Little Orange: Hahaha, girl, your username is a bit fake, but this picture of Gu Zhi is indeed beautiful!

Summer Cicadas Chirping: Ahhh, so jealous I’m crying. You’ve actually met Zhizhi! I really want to experience the beauty crush too /cry!

I’m Completely Enchanted: Wuwuwu, she also helped me. I almost got hit by an instrument, and Sister Gu is really so cool and beautiful, I’m thinking of becoming her fan.

After posting on Weibo, the girl paused when she scrolled to the last comment.

She clicked into the "I’m Completely Enchanted" Weibo account and saw it was also a newly registered account. Could it be...?

Both realized something was off but said nothing, silently liking each other’s posts.

After Gu Zhi tweeted, she didn’t bother with it. She sent Dai Qian to the Gu Family’s wealthy villa district to handle something.

The advertisement couldn’t be filmed, so she relaxed a bit and checked on the lawsuit matter.

Resolving the lawsuit quickly and leaving the small-time talent agency was necessary to get better gigs.

The law firm had already filed the lawsuit with the court. The question was when it would officially go to trial.

Gu Zhi rubbed her temples, turned on the TV, and picked a few art films to study.

But then she heard the doorbell ring.

Gu Zhi got up and went to the door, peering through the peephole to see the man outside, and paused for a moment.

It was Emperor Qi, who lived next door.

She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door.

The man was dressed in a well-fitted black shirt, with one hand in his pocket, the rolled-up sleeves revealing a segment of his pale wrist. The bones were distinct, and the blue veins underneath the skin were visible, both delicate and powerful.

You could almost imagine the robust physique beneath the thin shirt.

Today, he wasn’t wearing glasses, and his nearly perfect sculpted face was all the more strikingly handsome.

Before Gu Zhi could speak, she heard his clear, pleasant voice:

"Can I come in?" Qi Hanyu slightly curled his lips, asking politely, "I’d like to discuss something with Miss Gu."

Gu Zhi paused, hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "Please."

The two went in, and Gu Zhi led him to the couch and, unusually polite, poured him a glass of water.

Qi Hanyu thanked her and just happened to catch sight of the art film still playing on the TV. He recognized it at a glance; it was a domestic film that had won many awards and was considered a textbook example of filmmaking.

He slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Miss Gu studying?"

"Yeah," Gu Zhi didn’t deny it, "Just watching out of boredom."

"Miss Gu’s acting is very good." Qi Hanyu glanced at her, his look lacked excessive scrutiny and exploration, remaining courteous yet distant, "I heard Miss Gu is dealing with a lawsuit recently. I wonder if Miss Gu is interested in a collaboration?"

Gu Zhi paused, having already heard that Emperor Qi, Qi Hanyu, was preparing to leave the entertainment circle and return to manage the family business, seemingly planning to enter the entertainment industry as well.

Before she could speak, Qi Hanyu explained, "I’m planning to start a film company, and the project has been filed. I’ve heard Miss Gu wants to terminate her contract with the current talent agency. If you’re willing to join Shiyu Film and Television, I’d be delighted to have you."

Gu Zhi hesitated for a moment, slightly pursing her lips, "Then you should know my lawsuit hasn’t gone to court yet. The other side is tricky, and it might not be that easy to get out."

"If Miss Gu is willing to join, those issues are not a problem," Qi Hanyu said lightly, "The lawsuit you’re involved in would be fully handled by Shiyu Film and Television’s legal team, regardless of the outcome. You wouldn’t need to bear any penalties, and of course, Shiyu’s legal team does not lose."

"Moreover, if you join, I’ll invite a professional team to manage your work. Obviously, Miss Gu’s conditions are excellent, and good resources will certainly be prioritized for you."

Hearing this, Gu Zhi was a bit stunned—the conditions offered were really hard to refuse.

The lawsuit aspect alone could save a lot of hassle.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him and asked, "I’m really curious, why is Emperor Qi willing to offer me such terms?"
