Chapter 367 Yan Ran, Come Back and Help Dad
As soon as Gu Ruoxi finished filming a scene, Sister Hua came up to her and whispered in her ear: "The Bai family is calling."
Gu Ruoxi frowned slightly.
"What did you say?"
"He said he knew you were filming and asked you to call him back when you have time. He said he would be waiting for you at any time.
Gu Ruoxi's eyes were a bit cold. She got the mobile phone from Sister Hua and walked towards the car.
"I don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. Don't let anyone come over to disturb me. I'll go in and chat for a while."
Sister Hua hesitated for a moment.
"You don't need me to accompany you?"
Gu Ruoxi waved her hand without looking back.
Back in the car, she dialed the familiar phone number. The name of the number in the address book was Baijia. It was a very simple two words, but very heavy.
While waiting for the call to be connected, Gu Ruoxi took a deep breath and sorted out her mood.
The other end quickly answered the call, seemingly staring at the phone screen and waiting for her. A magnetic middle-aged male voice sounded with surprise in his words.
"Hello, Yanran?"
Gu Ruoxi said calmly: "What's the matter?"
The man had been holding back his words for a long time, and then he said them out like a barrage of words.
"Daughter, I haven't heard your voice for more than three years. There is no news about you. Where have you been? Why didn't you leave a message?
Your Aunt Mengrou and I miss you very much. Can we find a time for our family to have a good reunion and have a meal?"
When Gu Ruoxi heard the name "Mengrou", her face turned cold.
"Bai Muju, you and I are not free people. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing that he was called by his first name, he was stunned for a moment, and then said sarcastically: "I heard that you are planning to enter Haolaiwu. Have you received the script?"
Gu Ruoxi said something.
"This matter has nothing to do with you."
"I haven't seen you for so long, but you're still so direct, okay, I'll tell you the truth."
Bai Muju sighed at the other end, "I plan to take a purchase order from a luxury brand in our country from Beautiful Country.
I have several strong competitors and it's a bit tricky.
Your Aunt Mengrou and I came up with a plan to make you the spokesperson of our group.
You should take advantage of the east wind when you enter Haolaiwu, and you should have a better chance of winning.
When the group receives the order, it will be much smoother for you there, which is good for both you and me..."
Gu Ruoxi refused without hesitation.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Bai Muju hurriedly persuaded: "Actors' life span is very short, especially actresses, they eat the food of youth.
There will come a day when you can no longer be the protagonist, and now it’s time to find a way out for yourself.
I only have a daughter and a son, and such a large clothing trading group needs your help.
You are the spokesperson of the group now, and will be the company's senior executive in the future. This kind of takeover is more convincing to the public."
He paused and found that Gu Ruoxi made no sound, sighed and continued, "I know that you have many complaints against me because of your Aunt Mengrou.
She is really a good woman. I married her after your mother passed away. She is not a good stepmother.
You have seen a lot of the world, and you should know that it is human nature for a man to marry a woman.
Husband and wife are husband and wife, father and daughter are father and daughter, our blood relationship is eternal, you will always be my daughter.
Yanran, really, come back and help dad."
Gu Ruoxi's tone was a little excited.
"You say she is good so categorically. If I can prove that she is related to mom's death, how should you deal with it?"
Bai Muju said sincerely: "Since ancient times, the relationship between stepmothers and stepdaughters has been complicated, I understand.
Your mother's death has nothing to do with anyone. This matter has been settled.
There is a misunderstanding between you and your Aunt Mengrou.
Your Aunt Mengrou has treated you like her own child over the years. She often collects information about you and praises you in front of me.
After you disappeared, she was more anxious than me and wanted to find you back as soon as possible.
She said, if you take over our group's business early, you won't disappear.
I know that you have been worried about your mother's death all these years, but you have grown up and should be more sensible..."
Gu Ruoxi's face turned completely cold and she directly interrupted Bai Muju's words.
"I'm very busy. If you just called to talk about this matter, there's no need to say more. Goodbye."
Before Bai Muju could speak, she hung up the phone.
After taking a deep breath, she gathered her emotions and got out of the car like a normal person.
Sister Hua stood guard by the car door and said with concern: "What did he say?"
Gu Ruoxi said calmly: "The Bai family knew that I was going to enter Haolaiwu. Liu Mengrou proposed that I be the spokesperson for the group and win the right to speak for a luxury brand in Meili Country. I refused.
That woman knew that I was going to enter Hollywood, and I was afraid that this matter would cause complications.
It's best to finalize the script as soon as possible. After the filming here is completed, make arrangements for Xiaomi and go to the beautiful country as soon as possible.
Let’s move on to our next plan.”
Sister Hua looked unhappy.
"Only your father is so naive that he would believe that vicious woman Liu Mengrou.
I have been kept in the dark for so many years, and I don’t even know the true identity of the person next to me.
The woman suggested asking you to be the spokesperson of the group, which was another move of retreating into advancement, which is what she is best at.
If you meet her, she has ten thousand ways to make you die silently."
Gu Ruoxi waved her hand.
"Let's not talk about that woman.
By the way, last time you said that Liu Dacheng found you and asked you to introduce Lin Xing to him as a stage costume designer. What's the progress now?"
Sister Hua sighed secretly.
The young lady in my family always puts Lin Xing's affairs before herself and thinks about him.
"I have understood that the stage costumes Liu Dacheng needs are for domestic tour concerts.
Because the well-known foreign customization master was unavailable, he still had a set of stage costumes to complete.
Competing with Lin Xing this time are two other well-known domestic clothing customization masters."
Gu Ruoxi said: "Go back to Liu Dacheng and tell him that you don't have to choose.
The costumes made by Lin Xing definitely met his requirements.
Since we are asked to help pull the thread, don’t involve other costume designers and waste each other’s time.”
Sister Hua said, "Okay, I'll talk to Liu Dacheng."
Gu Ruoxi added.
"Tell him that I can only help him with this matter. Whether Lin Xing agrees or not is not our business."
Sister Hua hesitated for a moment.
"Liu Dacheng also said that a magazine wants to shoot him for the cover, and he wants to invite you to shoot with him."
Gu Ruoxi said expressionlessly: "He has been saying everywhere in the past few years that I am his idol. I don't care whether it is true or not.
If he thought this fashion design incident would help us get acquainted with each other, then he would have wasted his time in the industry.
Remember, he is the one asking Lin Xing to do something, and he has no right to negotiate terms."
Sister Hua was stunned.
If Gu Ruoxi had supported Lin Xing like this before, she would have felt that her young lady was overwhelmed by emotion.
But now, Lin Xing's status cannot be underestimated.
