Chapter 557: He Starts Taking Off His Belt_2

As soon as Lin Shi spoke, he reminded Fu Yao.

Only then did she remember!!!

"Yingcan, that’s your bestie’s car, right?"

Yingcan: "Yeah."

Seeing Yingcan nod, Fu Yao suddenly recalled something... Yingcan had just said her bestie was here, and Suisui was her bestie’s kid. At that time she didn’t connect who that bestie might be, but now she saw that luxury car, and Yingcan even admitted it was her bestie’s car...

Right.

Fu Yao finally remembered that Yingcan had a very powerful bestie, that President Gu from the Gu Group!

"So it’s President Gu." Fu Yao said in sudden realization.

"President Gu?" Lin Shi craned his neck over. "Who’s that?"

Hearing the name President Gu come out of Fu Yao’s mouth, Lin Xijiang only had to think for a moment before he also figured out who it was.

It was President Gu, and also the boss lady of that farmhouse, Yanyan.

To Lin Xijiang, it felt like it had been half a century since he last saw Gu Yuan.

After Ancient Water Village, the awards ceremony was the second time, and later he rarely saw her around Yingcan again. But ever since that awards ceremony night, most of the people in the entertainment industry knew that there was a President Gu backing Yingcan.

"...So it turns out President Gu is here." There was barely disguised surprise in Lin Xijiang’s voice, but he soon found it reasonable. "That explains why such a luxury car is parked outside the village chief’s house."

Fu Yao nodded in agreement with Lin Xijiang.

Meanwhile Lin Shi was totally lost. "Listening to you guys talk is like watching people play charades. Who is President Gu?"

Fu Yao and Lin Xijiang glanced at each other and both laughed.

With Lin Xijiang starting the introduction and Fu Yao chiming in with a few lines, Lin Shi finally figured out what they had been talking about just now, and who that President Gu was.

"So President Gu is the boss lady of that farmhouse where we recorded the show..."

"And she’s also the boss of Yingcan?"

"The key point is, she’s Yingcan’s bestie... I think I kind of knew that. I’d heard about that awards ceremony back then too, but I’ve never seen her in person till now, and today she actually came to the countryside."

"So Suisui is that President Gu’s daughter..."

Lin Shi’s noisy mouth stopped right on the line about Suisui being President Gu’s daughter. Then Fu Yao and Lin Xijiang saw Lin Shi put on this sorrowful expression and say, "I thought I might have a chance, turns out President Gu already has a daughter that big."

Fu Yao: "..."

Lin Xijiang: "..."

The two looked at each other and silently rolled their eyes in unison. This kid really is...

He hasn’t even met her and he’s already thinking about the future.

Lin Shi rubbed his chin, calculating in his heart: looks like he really grabbed the right thigh with Yingcan.

See!

Yingcan’s dear bestie is President Gu!

President Gu is the chairwoman of the Gu Group and also the boss of Yingcan, basically a walking, talking web of connections.

This thigh is definitely worth clinging to.

...

After Gu Yuan finished blow-drying her hair and came out, she was told that the show crew had brought a lot of people over. She wasn’t really in the mood to go join the crowd—too many people, and too many cameras. She didn’t like having lenses pointed at her.

But then Aunt Cai said that Suisui had come back with them, and was all dirty... Gu Yuan really couldn’t picture what "all dirty" meant exactly, so she had no choice but to come out.

When she came out, she was greeted by the sight of one big and one small figure that looked like they had just escaped from a disaster.

The big one was covered in mud from head to toe, with especially thick smears all over the front of his shirt and pants, and he was barefoot.

The little one was also completely covered in mud, with mud all over her clothes and face, and one of her shoes had gone missing... oh, it was in Chi Yu’s hand.

The big one had everything dirty except his face, which was still intact.

The little one was completely ruined, not a single clean patch anywhere.

Seeing this scene.

Gu Yuan thought, if she had a heart condition, she’d probably be calling an ambulance right about now.

How was she even supposed to ask them what they’d just gone through?

She mulled it over in her head for quite a while, her expression changing again and again. Just as she was about to speak, Chi Yu beat her to it—

"Suisui fell into the field, I fished her out, and then... this happened."

In one very concise sentence, he laid out the entire course of events.

Gu Yuan really was furious, and Chi Yu’s explanation only made her angrier—especially looking at this father–daughter pair in front of her, who in the short time she’d taken her eyes off them had managed to turn themselves into this mess...

She kept a straight face and asked, "Where did she fall?"

Chi Yu: "In the field."

Suisui parroted after Chi Yu, "In the field~"

Gu Yuan continued, "Which field was it?"

Chi Yu shook his head. "No idea." He wasn’t familiar with the area, how was he supposed to know which field it was?

Suisui shook her head along with him. "Don’ knooow~"

The father and daughter’s reactions left Gu Yuan torn between wanting to laugh or cry, her head pounding like it was going to explode.
