Chapter 1546: A Jealous Husband
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, within only a short time, a huge gap between Leng Shaoting’s and Qi Tianlin’s ability appeared, and it was quite easy for Leng Shaoting to behead Qi Tianlin in the game now.
Both Gu Ning and Player A saw it, so they didn’t go to help Leng Shaoting.
Not only Gu Ning and Player A, but other players also noticed that Leng Shaoting was enjoying humiliating Qi Tianlin in the game.
Qi Tianlin was annoyed, because it was just a game to him, and he didn’t understand why his opponent in the game took it so seriously.
Even though Qi Tianlin knew that he was doomed to fail, he didn’t give up fighting against his opponent before he was beheaded.
“Is ‘the Husband of the Future Queen’ enjoying humiliating ‘the Future Emperor’? He can directly behead him, but he doesn’t do that.”
“It’s quite obvious that ‘the Husband of the Future Queen’ doesn’t want to finish the game too early.”
“I think ‘the Husband of the Future Queen’ is jealous.”
“Why?”
“Don’t you find the name is the couple’s name with ‘the Future Queen’? I think he must be the husband of ‘the Future Queen’.”
“Really? Wow, this suddenly became funny.”
“‘The Future Queen’ has a jealous husband!”
“Ha-ha, ha-ha.”
“…”
Qi Tianlin actually took “the Husband of the Future Queen” as another player in the game, so he didn’t take it seriously. He would be mad at Gu Ning if he found out that the player was Leng Shaoting. Anyway, he was in a bad mood now.
Gu Ning remained silent and watched the fight aside, because there was nothing she could do about it.
Leng Shaoting didn’t waste too much on it, and beheaded Qi Tianlin in the end.
After that, Qi Tianlin called Gu Ning at once and questioned her. “Who’s ‘the Husband of the Future Queen’?”
Gu Ning didn’t realize that it wasn’t a good idea to let Leng Shaoting take part in the game until she heard Qi Tianlin’s angry question.
“Well, I guess the player simply dislikes your ID. Many of my fans have an ID which follows mine in the game,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Qi Tianlin thought it was reasonable, because there indeed were a lot of IDs that were related to Gu Ning’s ID in the game.
Therefore, Qi Tianlin didn’t ask further about it, but simply said, “Tell him to finish the game quickly and stop wasting time humiliating me.”
“Sure!” Gu Ning said.
Afterwards, Gu Ning sent Leng Shaoting a message and told him that Qi Tianlin was furious now.
Leng Shaoting was very satisfied with the result and agreed to finish the game quickly. Accordingly, Leng Shaoting directly killed Qi Tianlin in the game once the second round began, which annoyed Qi Tianlin again.
He was dead shortly after the second round just began!
He felt humiliated once more. Because Qi Tianlin was too mad, he logged out the game in anger. He had already finished the round in the game, so it was fine for him to leave all of a sudden.
After that, Qi Tianlin sent Gu Ning a message and told her that he wouldn’t play with the player again.
Gu Ning pursed her lips and didn’t reply to Qi Tianlin.
Many other players invited Gu Ning to have a round together, so Gu Ning didn’t rush to log out and continued to play the game with Leng Shaoting.
She even didn’t have time to eat, so she told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to bring some food back for her.
Gu Ning didn’t finish playing the game until 1 pm. After she logged out, she went to have lunch and reminded Leng Shaoting to have lunch too.
A few minutes later, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya drove Gu Ning to the airport. She didn’t forget that she needed to fly back to City B today.
At this time, Dongfang Ziyu arrived at a place near the Shengning Organization and met Wu Shunhua.
Because Gu Ning didn’t deliberately avoid them, Wu Shunhua and Dongfang Ziyu saw her car driving outside.
“I’m not sure whether Gu Ning is in the car.” Wu Shunhua didn’t have much confidence this time, because he had made mistakes before.
“You can follow it, and I’ll stay here,” Dongfang Ziyu said.
“Great.” Wu Shunhua nodded, and started his car at once.
It was quite boring after following Gu Ning for days, but there wasn’t a better way for them to spy on her.
Gu Ning knew that Wu Shunhua was following her, but she didn’t bother to pay much attention to him. She needed to focus on her own business now.
Wu Shunhua followed Gu Ning till the airport, and called Dongfang Ziyu when Gu Ning stepped out of her car.
Gu Ning didn’t have any baggage except for her backpack, so Wu Shunhua thought that she must have come here to pick someone up. Even Dongfang Ziyu had the same idea.
However, when Gu Ning went to take the plane ticket, he realized that Gu Ning was leaving by plane. “Ziyu, she is taking a plane and leaving the capital. What should I do now?” He didn’t know which flight Gu Ning was going to take after all.
“Where is she leaving for?” Dongfang Ziyu frowned.
“No idea,” Wu Shunhua said.
“Stay in the airport, and I’ll try to figure it out as soon as possible,” Dongfang Ziyu said.
Chapter 1547: Run into Jing Jining
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Sure.” Wu Shunhua agreed and watched Gu Ning walking into the lounge.
Coincidentally, Gu Ning ran into Jing Jining there.
Jing Jining waited at the No.16 gate, while Gu Ning was walking to the No.28 gate and needed to walk by the No.16 gate.
Jing Jining was surprised to see Gu Ning and stood up at once. “Hi, what a coincidence! Where are you going?”
“Hi, Uncle Jing, I’m going to City B. How about you?” Gu Ning smiled.
“I’m leaving for City Rui for business,” Jing Jining said.
“When will your flight take off?” Gu Ning asked.
“I’ll be boarding in a few minutes,” Jing Jining said.
“Safe travel, and see you!” Gu Ning said and waved good-bye to Jing Jining.
“Safe travel!” Jing Jining left Gu Ning too.
About half an hour later, Gu Ning boarded.
Because she booked the plane ticket late, she failed to get a seat in the first class and had to sit in the economy class. Gu Ning didn’t mind it actually, but the first class was normally quiet and more comfortable.
Gu Ning’s seat was at the rear seats, so she took out a book from her backpack (telepathic eye space) once she seated herself.
There were many books in her telepathic eye space, but she only read to kill time during a flight.
The book Gu Ning randomly took out was about the study of physiognomy. Physiognomy was the practice of assessing a person’s character or personality from their outer appearance—especially the face.
Gu Ning could understand its content, but honestly she probably couldn’t use it in real life. It was hard to see through an adult.
After sitting on her seat for a short while, someone came and sat down next to her.
Because Gu Ning sat by the window, she didn’t need to move and let the person walk by her so she didn’t bother to pay attention to the person. However, she suddenly heard an acerbic female voice. “No way, why is someone reading such kind of books nowadays?”
She was obviously criticizing Gu Ning.
Gu Ning wasn’t annoyed, but she raised her head and gave the woman a glance.
The woman was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, so Gu Ning could only see her eyes. Given what she just learned from the book, she knew that the woman was very unkind.
Actually, Gu Ning did nothing wrong and simply sat there and read her book in silence, but the woman made fun of her for no reason. Her rude behavior already showed her bad character.
When Gu Ning glanced at the woman, the woman noticed Gu Ning’s extraordinary beauty and she got jealous at once. “There is nothing to look at!”
“Do you know that you’re really rude and noisy?” Gu Ning asked. She stayed calm and had no interest in arguing against the woman, but it didn’t mean that she would grin and bear it.
“You…” The woman was mad, but didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.
“Beibei!” A girl who stood by the woman’s side stopped her at once and reminded her to take care of her image.
An Beibei was unwilling to give up, but she had to swallow her anger, because she was a celebrity and it would damage her reputation if she caused a sensation in the plane.
Since An Beibei stopped, Gu Ning kept on reading her book.
An Beibei remained quiet only for a short while, then muttered, “It’s awful! Why didn’t they inform us earlier? I have to sit in the economy class now.”
In fact, no matter how popular a star was, he or she probably couldn’t have a seat in the first class every time. Sometimes, they were out of time and choices, and had to book a ticket in the economy class.
Not every artist cared about it, only those who were self-centered and arrogant would complain about it, because even though they disliked the economy class, they had to take the plane in the end.
Afterwards, An Beibei began to play on her phone.
When she read news about Tang Xiaoxiao, she became jealous again. “Tang Xiaoxiao is quite lucky. I thought she was doomed to fail after what Fan Sixuan did last time, but someone helped her out.”
Gu Ning was slightly surprised when she heard Tang Xiaoxiao’s name, and it was obvious that An Beibei didn’t get along with Tang Xiaoxiao.
“No matter how lucky Tang Xiaoxiao is, she isn’t comparable to you at all. She’s working for a small entertainment company now, and she has no future there,” An Beibei’s assistant said at once to please her.
“Of course Tang Xiaoxiao isn’t comparable to me! Zhen dumped her for me precisely because I’m more popular and better than her!” An Beibei was quite proud of herself.
Hearing that, Gu Ning felt it was ridiculous. Although she couldn’t see An Beibei’s face, she was very sure that Tang Xiaoxiao was much smarter than An Beibei.
An Beibei was really stupid, because she discussed it in a public place and other people could hear her conversation with her assistant too.
Since An Beibei believed that she was more popular than Tang Xiaoxiao, she must be an A-list actress in the entertainment industry.
Chapter 1548: Tang Xiaoxiao Is Becoming Increasingly Better
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Ning had read the list of famous actors in the entertainment industry, so she remembered all their names. And there was only one actress named An Beibei in the entertainment industry.
Without hesitation, Gu Ning took out her phone and typed down the keyword ‘Tang Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend’, soon finding a lot of news about them. However, an actress appeared in almost every piece of news about Tang Xiaoxiao and her boyfriend.
That actress was precisely An Beibei.
Tang Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend to be specific, was Huang Yizhen. Huang Yizhen was a singer and a businessman, and he was the only boyfriend Tang Xiaoxiao had admitted in public, but they broke up with each other two years ago.
About a year ago, Huang Yizhen married An Beibei, an A-list actress.
Many people said that An Beibei was the other woman in Tang Xiaoxiao’s romantic relationship with Huang Yizhen, but Huang Yizhen and An Beibei insisted on saying that Huang Yizhen broke up with Tang Xiaoxiao because they had conflicts.
Huang Yizhen and An Beibei played the leading male role and female role in a TV show later, and they fell in love in the show. They dated for half a year before they decided to get married.
There was too much fake news in the entertainment industry, and no one knew what really had happened. However, given what An Beibei just said, Gu Ning knew that An Beibei must have interfered in Tang Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Huang Yizhen.
An Beibei entered the entertainment industry earlier than Tang Xiaoxiao, and she indeed became famous faster than Tang Xiaoxiao as well.
Although An Beibei wasn’t as good at acting as Tang Xiaoxiao, her team was excellent at attracting publicity, and she always appeared in the gossip. In addition, An Beibei was sexier than Tang Xiaoxiao, and always showed a lot of skin in front of the cameras, which was her another way to attract publicity.
After she got married, An Beibei became conservative and kept a distance from other males.
“Tang Xiaoxiao is becoming increasingly better,” Gu Ning said. She couldn’t stand it any longer when someone was bad-mouthing her staff in front of her.
Although it was normal for people to gossip about famous actresses, An Beibei had stolen Tang Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend and she had hurt Tang Xiaoxiao, so Gu Ning had to stand out and defend Tang Xiaoxiao.
An Beibei turned to glare at Gu Ning. “Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
“I don’t need to do that, because you’re very loud,” Gu Ning said with disdain.
It was the truth, because many other passengers sitting around them also heard An Beibei’s voice.
“You…” An Beibei was annoyed, but didn’t know what to say.
“Fine, since you’re not eavesdropping on our conversation, tell me why do you think Tang Xiaoxiao is becoming increasingly better? She’s serving for Fenghua Entertainment, which is a newly-established company in the industry. Even though it has gained some fame recently, it isn’t comparable to other leading entertainment companies,” An Beibei said.
“You’re right. Fenghua Entertainment is indeed a newly-established entertainment company, and the competition is quite fierce in the industry, but Tang Xiaoxiao is as beautiful as she is skillful, so I believe she’ll become more and more popular,” Gu Ning said.
“Naive.” An Beibei snorted. “There are countless new faces coming out every day in the entertainment industry, and Tang Xiaoxiao will soon be replaced.”
In fact, An Beibei didn’t say it aloud that Tang Xiaoxiao would be easily destroyed if someone of power did something behind the scenes.
Although An Beibei didn’t get along with Tang Xiaoxiao, their grudge wasn’t enough for her to ruin Tang Xiaoxiao. She had simply stolen Huang Yizhen from Tang Xiaoxiao, and it wasn’t a very serious matter.
“I agree with you on that, but I think you’re more likely to be replaced than Tang Xiaoxiao, because you have nothing to rely on in the entertainment industry,” Gu Ning said.
An Beibei was pretty, but wasn’t much prettier than other actresses. Besides, she didn’t have many works, nor a good character.
“You…” An Beibei was angry, but suddenly realized that Gu Ning couldn’t be a simple girl since she knew a lot about the entertainment industry.
“Do you know who I am?” An Beibei got nervous.
“I didn’t know who you were until you said that you stole Tang Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend from her,” Gu Ning said. She stayed calm and stared straight at An Beibei’s eyes.
Hearing that, An Beibei was sure that Gu Ning already found out who she was.
“Ridiculous! Don’t try to damage my reputation by making up fake news! Zhen broke up with Tang Xiaoxiao before we were together!” An Beibei argued.
Chapter 1549: Gu Ning’s Fans in the Plane
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even though An Beibei was clearly aware that she had indeed interfered in Huang Yizhen’s relationship with Tang Xiaoxiao, she wouldn’t admit it in public. It had happened about over a year ago, and she was still working in the entertainment industry now.
“You know whether it’s true or not in your heart, but I hope you can stop bothering Tang Xiaoxiao to make news. Your fans are crazy and they’ll attack Tang Xiaoxiao,” Gu Ning said.
Tang Xiaoxiao needed news and publicity, but she couldn’t show up often with Huang Yizhen and An Beibei in the news, because only she would be criticized in that case. Both An Beibei and Huang Yizhen had many fans to defend them, and Tang Xiaoxiao alone couldn’t compete against them.
Actually, Tang Xiaoxiao had already been attacked for a long time by Huang Yizhen and An Beibei’s fans before. Tang Xiaoxiao, however, didn’t say anything about Huang Yizhen’s relationship with An Beibei. She stayed silent, and only her fans defended her at that time.
Even though Tang Xiaoxiao’s fans drew more criticisms towards her, she didn’t blame her fans for it. She knew that only her fans would believe her, and she felt grateful for what they had done for her.
Huang Yizhen and An Beibei didn’t have moral standards, and neither did their fans. Their fans didn’t care how they were able to be together. They were all selfish and believed that they would never be wrong. Therefore, in their eyes, Huang Yizhen broke up with Tang Xiaoxiao because Tang Xiaoxiao wasn’t good enough and An Beibei was a better choice. They admired stronger people, and would bully the weak.
Anyway, fans always defended their own idols.
An Beibei was annoyed again when Gu Ning blamed her for what Tang Xiaoxiao had been through. Because Gu Ning strongly defended Tang Xiaoxiao, An Beibei believed that she must be Tang Xiaoxiao’s fan.
“Beibei, let it go. We don’t need to argue with an unimportant stranger.” An Beibei’s assistant stopped her again in case she caused a scene in the plane.
An Beibei was full of anger now, but she had to listen to her assistant.
“Fine, I can let you go this time!” An Beibei said and turned her head away from Gu Ning. After that, she began to read her script.
The plane was about to take off, so the passengers needed to turn off their phones.
Since An Beibei stopped arguing with her, Gu Ning ignored her and continued to read her book.
However, about an hour later, An Beibei suddenly felt very uncomfortable and was short of breath. An Beibei thought it was because of her mask, so she took it off at once, but she still found it hard to breathe normally.
Because An Beibei’s assistant was asleep, no one noticed her abnormal reaction except for Gu Ning.
Gu Ning frowned and asked, “Are you alright?”
Even though she just argued with An Beibei, it didn’t become serious, so she was still willing to help An Beibei.
“I-I can’t breathe…” An Beibei pressed her chest.
Gu Ning took out a power crystal at once and gave it to An Beibei. “If you trust me, take it.”
An Beibei hesitated for a few seconds, but still took it because she was in a lot of pain. Before long, the pill came into effect. An Beibei started to breathe normally, and her chest wasn’t painful anymore. She was surprised and couldn’t believe it.
“Thanks.” An Beibei thanked Gu Ning with sincerity. She was a bad person in some aspects, but she wasn’t dumb. Gu Ning just saved her life, so she should thank her.
“You’re welcome,” Gu Ning said.
When the plane was flying steadily in the air, several stewardesses walked about once in a while, but they kept glancing at Gu Ning once they walked by her seat.
Gu Ning knew that they had probably recognized her. She didn’t mind their looks, but said nothing.
After a while, the plane finally landed at the airport in City B, and Gu Ning needed to wait for a while to get off the plane because there were many passengers in front of her.
When Gu Ning stood up later, two stewardesses got excited and walked towards her.
“Hi, Miss Gu, um, we’re your fans. Can we take some photos together?” a stewardess said with anticipation in her eyes.
Several passengers heard it and turned to look at Gu Ning with surprise. They thought that Gu Ning might be a celebrity.
An Beibei was surprised too, because she didn’t know Gu Ning’s identity. She stared at Gu Ning for a while, and thought that Gu Ning could be a new actress in the entertainment industry.
Chapter 1550: I’m Tang Xiaoxiao’s Boss
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because other passengers didn’t recognize Gu Ning, they weren’t excited.
“Sure.” Gu Ning agreed.
The stewardesses were delighted when Gu Ning agreed to take photos with them, and they took out their phones at once.
“Thank you, Miss Gu!” they thanked Gu Ning afterwards.
“My pleasure,” Gu Ning said.
After that, the stewardesses walked away, and An Beibei asked Gu Ning with curiosity, “Are you an artist as well?”
“I’m not,” Gu Ning said.
An Beibei frowned. “What do you do then?”
“I’m a student,” Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning looked very young and she indeed seemed to be a student, but An Beibei didn’t believe that she was an ordinary student. Anyway, since Gu Ning was unwilling to tell her more details, An Beibei didn’t ask further about it.
When they walked out of the plane, every stewardess politely greeted Gu Ning. “See you, Miss Gu!”
At the beginning, not every stewardess recognized Gu Ning, but the two stewardesses who were Gu Ning’s fans introduced Gu Ning to them, so they learned a lot about her.
Although they didn’t recognize Gu Ning, they had heard a lot about her companies, especially Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.
Because all of them were using Kouzi and they agreed that it was the best skincare products they had ever used.
An Beibei was more curious about Gu Ning’s identity after seeing every stewardess greeting her with a broad smile. “You can’t be an ordinary student if they all know you. I honestly don’t know what other jobs can be as popular among people as artists.”
“I’m also a businesswoman,” Gu Ning said.
“A businesswoman?” An Beibei and her assistant were both surprised, because Gu Ning looked even younger than 20. In addition, she must be a successful businesswoman for so many people to be familiar with her face. However, in An Beibei’s eyes, Gu Ning was too young to be a very successful businesswoman.
“I’m Tang Xiaoxiao’s boss. Alright, I need to go now,” Gu Ning said and hurried away.
She purposely told An Beibei her identity for Tang Xiaoxiao’s sake. As long as An Beibei went to learn more about her, An Beibei wouldn’t dare to disdain Tang Xiaoxiao anymore, which could help Tang Xiaoxiao avoid unnecessary conflict. Tang Xiaoxiao worked for Gu Ning after all, and Gu Ning would do what she could do to protect her staff.
An Beibei was astonished. If Gu Ning was Tang Xiaoxiao’s boss, she must be the owner of Fenghua Entertainment! To her astonishment, the owner of Fenghua Entertainment was such a young girl.
Even though Fenghua Entertainment was a newly-established company in the entertainment industry, it was still quite unbelievable that a young girl built it up.
“Jesus, the owner of Fenghua Entertainment is a young girl?”
“She must be kidding!”
“Let’s check it now.”
An Beibei’s assistant took out her phone and immediately searched for information about the owner of Fenghua Entertainment on the Internet. Within seconds, she saw Gu Ning’s name and photos associated with Fenghua Entertainment.
At this time, they had to accept that the owner of Fenghua Entertainment indeed was a 19-year-old girl.
Without delay, the assistant searched for more news about Gu Ning. After reading the news, she was totally shocked.
All the famous new companies she had heard of during this year, like Jade Beauty Jewelry, Kouzi, Colaine, Charm, were founded by Gu Ning.
An Beibei was wearing Jade Beauty Jewelry as well, and she liked its designs. As for Kouzi, both An Beibei and her assistant were its loyal fans.
Even though Kouzi wasn’t international, it was quite effective. An Beibei was an actress and she cared a lot about her appearance, so she loved Kouzi as long as it helped her become prettier.
In fact, Kouzi had gained a lot of fame by now, and its prices weren’t low either, but it wasn’t an international brand yet. Actually, it was not only An Beibei, many other actresses were using Kouzi too.
All in all, she couldn’t live without Kouzi now.
In addition to Kouzi, Colaine medicines were also effective, and An Beibei used them often because she sometimes got injured during filming.
And although An Beibei didn’t have Charm gowns, she had a good impression of this brand.
Surprisingly, they were all founded by a young girl!
“Wow, I can’t believe that Tang Xiaoxiao’s new boss is so rich!” An Beibei’s assistant exclaimed.
An Beibei had told her that Fenghua Entertainment was simply a new entertainment company without much influence, but now it seemed that she was wrong. With Gu Ning’s support, it would be very easy for Tang Xiaoxiao to achieve a dominant position in the entertainment industry.
Huang Yizhen was a businessman too, and a shareholder of a big entertainment company, but he wasn’t comparable to Gu Ning at all. Huang Yizhen’s connections were limited in the entertainment industry as well.
Gu Ning, however, had many more powerful connections than him.
