“I’ll have my sister come over in a bit.”
Hu Gua said in surprise, “Your love interest? Yu-ge, can we maybe not play things so wild?”
Li Shaoyu, sitting in front of the makeup mirror, said, “My real sister. Full-blooded sister, same mother.”
“Oh, then I’ll go pick her up myself in a bit. You just focus on filming and don’t cause trouble,” Hu Gua warned.
“Alright.”
He’d try not to cause trouble—as long as nobody deliberately provoked him!
Li Qiao arrived and stood outside the filming area. She looked around but didn’t see Li Shaoyu anywhere.
Just as she was about to make a phone call, Hu Gua hurried over. His eyes lit up as he said, “Li Qiao?”
“That’s me. And you are?”
“I’m your brother’s manager, Hu Gua. You can just call me Gua-ge like everyone else does.” Hu Gua was very warm and enthusiastic. Under his guidance, Li Qiao followed him into the filming area.
People noticed Li Qiao and grew curious.
“Who’s that? She’s not a fan of Li Shaoyu, is she?”
“Could she be an admirer?”
“Well then, I’m about to get the freshest gossip!”
…
In the break room.
“Fourth Brother—” Li Qiao tried to scare him on purpose, but it didn’t work. Instead, Li Shaoyu excitedly walked over and pinched her cheek.
“You’re back! Once I finish filming today, I’ll take you out for a big meal.”
Hu Gua covered his face. “Li Shaoyu, don’t even think about eating meat or spicy food. Not even with your sister here.”
“Gua-ge, my sister’s here. Give me some face.”
“Hah! No way. Your face is your brand. No matter what happens, you protect that face of yours.” Hu Gua’s temple was throbbing.
Li Qiao’s eyes carried a smile.
Before long, someone came to call them for filming. Li Qiao wandered around the filming area a bit.
She sat in the shade, gazing at Li Shaoyu from afar. Fourth Brother’s face really was attractive—no wonder he had so many female fans!
“You’re the one Yu-ge brought.”
Li Qiao’s gaze shifted slightly. She sized up the young woman in front of her, who was staring at her with an unclear look.
“Yes.”
“Are you Yu-ge’s friend? Or family?”
“That’s my personal business. No comment.”
“My name is Mo Lan. I’m Yu-ge’s friend.” Mo Lan introduced herself, but Li Qiao didn’t spare her another glance. Her little schemes were far too obvious.
Mo Lan received the cold shoulder from Li Qiao and was furious. Only then did she leave reluctantly.
After she left, Hu Gua came over carrying a bottle of water.
“Little sister, have some water.”
“Thanks.” She took the water and casually asked, “Is Mo Lan a friend of my brother’s?”
Hu Gua paused for a moment. “You met Mo Lan?”
“Yeah.”
Hu Gua let out a cold snort. “She wants to be Shaoyu’s friend, but she’s not qualified. She’s just a D-list little actress. Little sister, don’t bother with her in the future. That woman’s intentions aren’t pure.”
When Hu Gua mentioned her, he was full of disgust.
“My fourth brother has quite a few admirers, doesn’t he?”
“Ugh… too many, and they’re all trash.”
Hu Gua sighed.
After Li Shaoyu finished, his MPV had already arrived. As Li Qiao climbed into Li Shaoyu’s van, she seemed to sense something and glanced sideways. She spotted Mo Lan.
Her gaze was sinister and gloomy.
The car door closed, and Li Qiao withdrew her gaze.
Li Shaoyu lay back comfortably. “Qiaoqiao, did you have fun?”
“It was okay.”
“Hehe, once your Taoist temple is built, Fourth Brother will definitely go up on stage in person to celebrate and draw in some popularity.”
Li Qiao’s mouth twitched. “Fourth Brother, there’s really no need. My Taoist temple does need popularity, but it needs genuine popularity.”
With him there, the fans drawn in would all be chasing after him. For her Taoist temple, that wouldn’t do much good.
