After starting business with her ex-boyfriend, she became a national cp

The moment this sentence was uttered, the entire interview venue fell silent.

What did Gu Ran just say?

The method of chasing Jiang Chen...?

Did they hear it right? !

Gu Ran likes Jiang Chen? ?In order to clarify the rumors for Jiang Chen, even at the interview meeting to reveal his love?

All the reporters in the audience were stunned by Gu Ran's words, they crowded forward one after another, stretched out their hands and pointed the microphone at Gu Ran.

"Teacher Gu, what do you mean by that sentence just now?"

"Did you take the initiative to hype Jiang Chen?"

"Do you like Jiang Chen? Are you chasing him?"

"Does Jiang Chen like you too?"

The news was so explosive that no reporter would miss the opportunity to interview them. They wished they could press the two of them directly and force them to answer their own questions.

However, Xiawang, who was the most vocal just now, unexpectedly did not rush to the front line of the battle this time.

Looking at the entire film industry, there are only a handful of people Xia Wang dare not offend.

And Gu Ran is one of them.

The young master of the Gu family, the chairman of Hengcan Group, and the artist that Beichen Entertainment once favored, offending him is equivalent to offending half of the entertainment industry.

Xiawang is an old-fashioned reporter with a calm mind. He is far from being excited when he catches a piece of breaking news like a newcomer reporter. He understood the mystery of Gu Ran's words almost instantly.

"Even if there is—it can only be my means of chasing him."

This is just a joking assumption.After the interview is over, there are countless wiggles that can be turned around.

In just one sentence, Xiawang saw Gu Ran's attitude.

To embarrass Jiang Chen is to make things difficult for Gu Ran.

Sure enough, after Gu Ran uttered the thought-provoking words, the attention of the reporters was diverted. Almost no one in the venue paid attention to the two topics of "Jiang Chen owes debts" and "Jiang Chen is gay". Everyone only cared about One thing—does Gu Ran like Jiang Chen?

Gu Ran has quite a lot of experience in dealing with reporters' interviews.He faces the camera calmly, avoids the important and ignores the trivial, and every word

"I admire Teacher Jiang very much."

"I have filmed scenes with him for so long, so I know him very well."

"He deserves to be liked by many people."

"As for what Teacher Jiang thinks of me, I really want to know that too."

Gu Ran handled it like a duck to water, and took away the sharp questions in a few sentences. It was not until the interview was over and the two left the stage that the reporter realized: What the hell is this tm answering?They were led astray by Gu Ran! !

After the interview was released that night, there was a wave of waves on Weibo as expected.Compared with the hot-headed reporters at the scene, the netizens were obviously calmer, analyzing Gu Ran's thought-provoking answers word by word, eager to dig out the hidden meaning of each sentence for a closer look.

"What does Gu Ran mean? Is he really chasing Jiang Chen?"

"Obviously, it's about Jiang Chen's acting skills."

"The last sentence is just a hypothesis. I just want to help Jiang Chen clarify and express his appreciation by the way."

"Is it that kind of 'like'? You can tell by Jiang Chen's expression? Jiang Chen was so calm at the time, it can't be true at all."

"Impossible? You look at their acting skills and say it again?"

"I suspect that they made a good deal of it and said that on purpose in front of the reporters. If Gu Ran really came out and didn't talk it over with Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would be very embarrassed. On the contrary, if Jiang Chen knew about it a long time ago, he would definitely That's the right answer."

"Couldn't it be that Gu Ran had an unrequited love for Jiang Chen and deliberately came out of the closet to force him?"

"Then Jiang Chen won't tear himself apart with him?"

With just a few words from Gu Ran, netizens shifted their attention to their relationship. It didn't take long for anyone to discuss the black material about Jiang Chen's debts on the Internet.However, Jiang Chen knows that the reason for such an effect is, in the final analysis, that the person who leaked the black material did not release strong evidence.

Public opinion can be suppressed temporarily, but the people from Star Entertainment are not so perfunctory.The person who broke the news is like a time bomb.Afterwards, always pay attention to the wind direction of the network and wait for the opportunity to move.

Not long after the interview, Star Entertainment called Jiang Chen, claiming that Jiang Xian came to the company to cause trouble, and asked Jiang Chen to go to the company's headquarters immediately.

Gu Ran was driving the car. He listened to Jiang Chen's voice on the phone and said the moment he hung up the phone, "I'll take you there."

After speaking, he turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the headquarters building of Xingmang Entertainment.

The atmosphere was terribly dull.

"Did your father give you the money for aunt's medical treatment?" Gu Ran's voice was calm.

He was very determined.

Just before the interview started, he received a call from Lin Yu, confirming that the person following Jiang Chen these days was his father, Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian has been evading debts for many years and has rich experience in hiding people, so that the people sent by Lin Yu had to go to great lengths to find him.

Before Jiang Chen could say anything, Gu Ran spoke again in a cold voice: "What conditions did you agree to him?"

"I..." Jiang Chen lowered his head slightly, his voice was cold, "pay off the company's debts for him."

After hearing this, Gu Ran frowned, as if night had fallen in his eyes.He was silent for a moment and asked, "How much is left?"

Now, it is meaningless to pursue what happened back then. What he needs is to solve this matter thoroughly.

"It's been paid off."

Gu Ran sneered: "He still wants to ask you for money?"

Jiang Chen pursed his lower lip: "Yes. I didn't agree."

"What are you going to tell the company?"

"Tell me the truth."

Gu Ran didn't respond, but his eyes darkened a bit.

The car arrived at the headquarters of Star Entertainment and stopped across the road.

Jiang Chen didn't get out of the car immediately: "I can go alone."

This is his business, and he doesn't want to involve Gu Ran in it.

For the first time, Gu Ran didn't want to go with him, but said lightly: "Okay."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car.

The rain outside has stopped, there is light snow in the sky, and the headquarters building is brightly lit.

The heater in Lin Sheng's office was fully turned on, but it still couldn't stop the wind coming in from the window.

"Are these things true?" Lin Sheng threw a stack of investigation reports on the table, "Your father owed debts to dozens of companies and didn't repay them for more than ten years, and borrowed money in your name everywhere? "

"Yes." Jiang Chen's voice was calm, but his heart couldn't help tightening.

"Then it's true that you helped him launder money?" Lin Sheng held back the anger in his heart, "Jiang Chen, do you know the seriousness of this kind of thing?!"

"I've never done that kind of thing," Jiang Chen tightened his hands, "He made up black material just to ask me for money."

He knew that Jiang Xian was short of money, but he never expected that Jiang Xian would cooperate with creditors to use his reputation to threaten him with money.

"But now your father has evidence! Even the creditors say you owe the money!" Lin Sheng became more and more angry, "I don't care if he colluded with the creditors or committed perjury, if he dares to threaten the company, it means he is not afraid Investigated!"

"Even if the company goes to court, there is no absolute chance of winning. Take a step back, even if you can prove it, can you afford this time? The movies that affect you now are all light!"

Lin Sheng's face turned blue with anger.After all, Jiang Chen is a traffic star. If he gets involved in this kind of illegal incident, even if he can prove his innocence in the end, how can he afford the time?

Jiang Chen's fingers turned white, and he said as calmly as possible: "I will talk to him, but Mr. Lin——I need a little time."

Lin Sheng looked at Jiang Chen and said coldly, "If you can't prove that the debt has nothing to do with you, the company can't guarantee your future resources."

After a pause, he added: "Until this matter is resolved, your interviews, live broadcasts, and all other activities must be suspended—including your concert."

……

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Jiang Chen left the headquarters building.

The windows in the corridor were not closed, and the cold wind from over the mountains howled into his collar, as if ice picks pierced into his skin and melted under his skin.

The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, bringing the coldest winter without warning.

He just stood in the corridor for a while, waiting until the street lights outside went out before leaving.

The road was empty and deserted, and there were almost no people in sight.

The car was parked across the road, and Jiang Chen was about to drive when he found a familiar figure leaning against his car.

Gu Ran leaned against the car door boredly, with a cigarette in his hand, and fiddled with his watch from time to time.

Jiang Chen was stunned, just looking at him from a distance across the road.

The distance of a few steps suddenly became very far away, like the long nine years between them.

Gu Ran seemed to sense his presence, raised his eyelids, and just looked at him like that.After a brief stay, he put out his cigarette and walked towards him.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to neglect, walked towards him at a faster pace, and stopped in front of the car: "Why don't you go back earlier?"

"I'll wait for you to go home." Gu Ran's voice was softer than Xue's, and it fell on his heart, but it carried a thousand catties.

These five simple words poked the softest part of Jiang Chen's heart.

He said go home.

He has lived for more than 20 years, his parents are still alive, but the number of times he heard these two words is only a handful.

All these years, he has been the only one in the family.To him, the apartment in Chenxi District was more like a temporary residence, not much different from living in a crew hotel.

But now, Gu Ran told him to go home.

My heart warmed a bit, as if a gust of wind dispelled the haze, but the snow fell on my shoulders, freezing the warmth in an instant.

Jiang Chen touched the handlebar of the car, paused, and said after a long time, "Go back."

The moment he walked past Gu Ran, the smile in Jiang Chen's eyes disappeared, and even the curve of his lips receded.

"Don't worry too much about it."

The voice from the side of the ear was more ethereal than the wind.

Jiang Chen's hand rested on the door handle, his knuckles were stiff and slightly bloodshot.

"I know." The slightly long hair fell down, half covering the beautiful phoenix eyes, making his expression hard to see in the dark.

He gently pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an indifferent smile, the smile was not pretty, it was a sadness that no amount of acting skills could make up for.

"I promise to the company that it will be resolved as soon as possible," Jiang Chen tightened his fingers silently, and then loosened them quickly, his voice slightly hoarse. "The worst case scenario is to hide in the snow or terminate the contract."

"Yeah." Gu Ran looked at him, unexpectedly did not say anything.

The car window reflects the shadows of the two, and one-third of them overlap, which is the heart close to each other.And the rest is the long nine years, the distance that Pluto and its Charon have not yet covered.

"Don't take those scandals to heart," Jiang Chen paused, "It's all media nonsense."

"Ah."

"Thank you for helping me out, but..."

He was interrupted halfway through the conversation.

"I was serious."

Jiang Chen suddenly stopped breathing.

His back stiffened bit by bit, as if he had gone through a long period of cold and lost all consciousness.

Those words were as unreal as the snow falling on the shoulders, and they left with the howling wind in an instant.

"What did you say..." Jiang Chen stared at him in a daze, with an unconcealable tremor in his voice.

"When I said I was chasing you, I was serious." Gu Ran repeated, walked to his side, and covered the back of his hand with his palm, feeling the scorching heat that melted the ice in the deep winter.

"Not to deal with reporters."

Jiang Chen's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't make a sound.

chasing him?Maybe yes.

He knew that Gu Ran really had no place to live.Even if he broke his face with the Gu family, even if the Gu family really sent someone to monitor him, it is impossible to do anything to Gu Ran.

In this life, he gathers less and leaves more, he just wants to spend more time with the person he likes, so he cooperates with him, gives him an excuse to raise him, and just lets him live in his own home.

But now it's different.

He is facing the accusation of helping Jiang Xian to launder money, and his reputation can only be ruined in a matter of minutes.The shadow brought to him by that kind of family once enveloped his entire teenage years, making him feel like drowning in suffocating sea water every moment.

And Gu Ran is the light in his life.

He only wished that he would be bright forever, instead of sinking into the bottom of the ocean with him and being engulfed by darkness.

"You go back." Jiang Chen said softly.

Gu Ran frowned slightly: "Is that why you want to draw a line with me?"

Jiang Chen was silent and didn't speak, he didn't even dare to look at him for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard Gu Ran say, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Jiang Chen raised his head and saw Gu Ran turn and leave, his back looked cold and determined in the cold winter night.

He suddenly remembered a long time ago.

On the day of the college entrance examination, he agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiang Xian, waited in the hospital for his mother's operation to end, and then hurriedly moved.

He knew that Gu Ran had come to his house to look for him once.

That was after the college entrance examination.At that time, Gu Ran knocked on the door for a long time, saying that if he didn't come out to see him, the door would be smashed down.

And at that time, he was next door, separated by a wall, every knock on the door by Gu Ran was like a knife stabbing hard into his heart.

Until Tang Yi went over and opened the door: "Brother Jiang Chen has moved, and he will not come back."

He didn't know what Gu Ran's expression was at that time, he felt that Gu Ran must be very angry.After Gu Ran left, he went to open the window and watched Gu Ran leave from a distance until he completely disappeared from his sight.

That day, Gu Ran was wearing a short black T-shirt, carrying his school uniform on his shoulders, wearing a wrist watch of the same style as him, and had a cigarette between his fingertips, but it was not lit.

It was as if from that moment on, I began to adapt to the pain of quitting the habit.

He just looked at him from a distance, and said to himself in his heart that when Gu Ran turned around, he would never look at him again.

He didn't wait for that moment.

He knew that Gu Ran would never trust him again.

……

Then never look back.

The lights on both sides of the road were sparse, and the night sky above was clear and bright, with sparse stars twinkling.

Jiang Chen stared at the figure from behind, and meditated for the second time in his heart.

No matter how many times we parted in this life, he would always watch Gu Ran leave and watch him go to a higher place.

He didn't look back like this, and walked on the starlight, the farther the better.I was afraid that the moment he turned his head, all his calm pretense would be torn apart.I can't help but step forward to hug him and reveal to him those paranoid and hopeless feelings hidden deep in my heart.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but Gu Ran stopped walking.

He didn't turn around, his figure was as quiet as a painting, so similar to many years ago, but completely different.

"However, I still want to go home with you." He whispered.

Jiang Chen looked at his back, and his heart tightened inch by inch.

"It was like this before, and it is like this now."

Gu Ran's voice paused slightly, deep and hoarse, with a touch of self-mockery hidden.

"If I think you have no more love for me, so I want to get you back...will you refute me?"

The wind made his eyes hurt, Jiang Chen didn't make a sound, but his eyes were slightly red.

refute?

How could he have the confidence to say something against his will?

He lowered his head with a wry smile, and the snow melted at the end of his slightly reddened eyes, like a tear that could not fall for a long time.

"Can't you let me be more decent?" He asked softly.

"What about you?" Gu Ran said calmly, "Can't you make me happier?"

Jiang Chen's heart ached severely.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he would die without regret.

"Even if I take another [-] steps back, it's your turn to listen to me."

Gu Ran turned around again and stopped in front of him.Slowly raised his hand, across his face, the temperature of his fingertips was icy cold.

"I have only one wish in my life, and you don't want to realize it with me?"

The winter wind is like a sharp knife, cutting through the scars that have not healed, and the hot blood flows out like a burst embankment.

Jiang Chen's heart trembled slightly.

"What is your wish?" He lowered his eyes and asked him softly.

Gu Ran met his gaze, his dark eyes were bottomless, but only reflected his silhouette, like a little bit of starlight dispelling loneliness in the long night.

"I want to start over with you."

In this life, I will face all difficulties and obstacles with you.
