Chapter 41: The Love of Riches and Vanity



Chapter 41

"If I had known, I wouldn\'t have come..."

Liu Simin grumbled.

The main filming location for Shen Kai\'s new drama was deep in the mountains and forests. As his agent, she hadn\'t wanted to come initially, but Shen Kai said he was under too much stress daily and needed to get out into nature and walk around more, and somehow managed to convince her to come along.

Nature was plentiful alright, but it was also too natural...

Let\'s not even mention the humidity, insects and mosquitoes, but the signal here was intermittent at best. It was already the twenty-first century, how could there still be places with such poor reception!

So much work had been delayed because of this, she must have been crazy to come here with him!

"Cut!"

Shen Kai\'s filming had paused temporarily, and his assistant hurried over with an electric fan and towel. Shen Kai took the towel and wiped his sweat as he walked over to Liu Simin.

"What are you doing just standing around there, aren\'t you tired?"

Liu Simin looked back at Shen Kai while trying to find a signal.

Dressed in ancient costume with his hair tied up high, he looked every bit like an ancient chivalrous hero.

As expected of her best artist, even she as a woman couldn\'t help but feel moved looking at him.

Moved as she may be, Liu Simin came to her senses and pointed to the phone she was holding up high,

"Trying to get a signal! This crappy place is affecting my work!"

Shen Kai smiled ambiguously,

"If there\'s no signal then there\'s no signal. Consider this time off I\'m giving you. I heard there are hot springs in town, go take a soak and relax!"

Liu Simin glared at him,

"You\'re too carefree! For those of us in this profession, information is most important. Missing one piece of information could mean missing out on millions or even tens of millions worth of opportunities, and the one suffering the greatest loss in the end would be you!"

Shen Kai was quite indifferent to this. He took the phone from her hand and started looking around for a signal to help her,

"Only you dare glare at me like that, I won\'t fuss over it with you. I\'m taller than you so I might be able to find a signal easier..."

Before he could finish speaking, the screen on the phone in his hand lit up and started vibrating nonstop.

Finally there was a signal, and a flurry of messages came flooding in.

But Shen Kai\'s expression kept getting worse instead, his face increasingly grave.

Liu Simin watched it all and her heart couldn\'t help but start panicking,

"What\'s with you? Don\'t scare me, we abide by the law, there\'s no way anything could have happened..."

"Qin Wei went abroad."

Shen Kai looked at the information on his phone.

While this didn\'t surprise Liu Simin, hearing that name still made her heart skip a beat,

"Oh, what of it..."

Shen Kai turned to look at her,

"She was harassed at a bar and almost got into trouble."

...

The next day and the day after, the show taping carried on as usual. Although there was no definite news yet from the police, lawyers were busy going to and fro, so Qin Wei had nothing to worry about.

The negative emotions brought about by the incident had gradually faded for everyone as well, and before they knew it, it was already the fifth day.

"After tomorrow, everyone will be leaving the UK for France."

Gu Minghua had prepared a table full of dishes. Everyone sat around the table in the apartment, getting ready to have their last dinner in the UK.

Gu Minghua raised his glass,

"I have a commitment back home so I have to rush back, my flight is in a bit and I won\'t be sending you all off. You\'ll be on your own for tomorrow\'s tasks, see you when I\'m back in China."

Everyone raised their glasses to bid him farewell.

After a few days together, they had gotten to know one another. A little tipsy from the alcohol, Liu Xin couldn\'t help but chat more,

"A quality hunk like you will definitely get popular when you go back. Don\'t forget about me then!"

Gu Minghua smiled,

"Of course, you\'ve taken good care of me. If you ever need me just say the word."

Chen Chen also took the chance to tell him,

"Write me a song when you can, I\'ll buy the copyright. Haven\'t come across any good songs the past couple years, don\'t even feel like singing..."

Gu Minghua nodded,

"Teacher Chen has excellent vocal skills, I look forward to collaborating."

Taking the chance from the alcohol, Qin Kaili started prying,

"Young man, don\'t just focus on your career, pay attention to your personal affairs too. There are many outstanding girls in the industry, any you\'re interested in?"

Gu Minghua\'s gaze inadvertently drifted towards Qin Wei, but he quickly lowered his head,

"There will be in the future, I\'ll discuss it with you then."

No one else noticed this little detail, but Liu Xin did.

She had been trying hard to get close to him the past few days by letting her guard down, but he remained indifferent. If he didn\'t like her that was one thing, but what did this mean? Could he actually be interested in Qin Wei?

Gu Minghua drank another cup of wine before looking over at Qin Wei again. Qin Wei turned her head and saw him smiling at her so she asked,

"What is it?"

"Do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Qin Wei thought for a bit then shook her head,

"Nothing much, wish you smooth sailing!"

【Is Hayden going back to develop domestically? He\'s so handsome and talented, I\'m worried the domestic industry isn\'t good enough for him.】

【You\'re right, it\'s not good enough...】

【Oh no, why do I feel like he seems interested in dumb Qin Wei! Baby don\'t be a face chaser okay? Qin Wei has no brain, she\'s not good enough for you, don\'t break your mama\'s heart!】

【Whoa! Hayden already has mom fans??】

【The one above, yes, Hayden not only has mom fans but girlfriend fans too. His fan club has already formed, just waiting for his official debut.】

...

After the meal, Gu Minghua packed up and made sure he had everything he needed for filming. The living room was empty except for him and Qin Wei. Qin Wei snuck over looking like she wanted to say something but couldn\'t get it out.

"Don\'t worry about the case, even if both of us leave the UK, Adam will continue following up. I\'ll update you if there\'s any news."

Gu Minghua said and Qin Wei nodded, seeming not too concerned about it.

He put down what was in his hands and looked at her seriously,

"Do you...have something to say to me?"

Qin Wei shook her head, then nodded.

Leaving Gu Minghua confused. He couldn\'t help but laugh seeing her like this.

Qin Wei cleared her throat and mysteriously asked him,

"That night at the bar, you said your family lives on Kensington High Street, is that true?"

Gu Minghua didn\'t know what she was getting at so he didn\'t hurry to answer,

"Huh? What\'s the matter?"

Qin Wei had a grave expression on her face and spoke even more softly,

"I know that place...only the world\'s top tycoons live there...if your family really lives there, that would be a huge deal, crazy rich..."

This woman...could it be she\'s moved by this?

Was she after his wealth and vanity?

But from his interactions with her the past few days, he didn\'t feel like she was that kind of person...

Gu Minghua couldn\'t help but doubt his own judgement. Could she have been acting?

Gu Minghua leaned against the sofa with his arms crossed,

"So what exactly is Miss Qin trying to say?"
