Chapter 215 Dinner Party
Their drama was filmed and broadcast simultaneously for a month, and the feedback was excellent, with the ratings consistently topping the charts. Director Huang was so happy that he invited the entire crew to a dinner party.
The entire crew gathered around a large round table, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Xiao Ze, everyone here is in pairs, you're the only one who's single. You've been eating too much PDA, it's time to find a girlfriend yourself."
During the meal, a veteran actor jokingly remarked.
"I'm still young, no rush," Xiao Ze smiled.
“Xinglan, who is younger than you, is already married. Aren’t you worried?” the veteran actor said again.
Director Huang, sitting next to the veteran actor, secretly gave him a thumbs up.
His sister is almost frantic with worry, afraid that this kid will follow those unconventional paths and remain a bachelor for life.
"Tell me which girl in our group you've taken a fancy to, and I'll play matchmaker for you," the veteran actor said with a chuckle.
Hearing him say that, the other single girls immediately became lively, staring intently at Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze pretended not to see, and surrounded by the crowd, he turned around and looked at Chu Xinglan as if pleading for help.
Instead of helping him out of the predicament, Chu Xinglan joined the group urging him to get married.
"Teacher Guo is absolutely right. Senior should hurry up and find a girlfriend, otherwise in the end, those who want to get married will already be married and have children, and all that will be left are those who don't want to get married."
Chu Xinglan smiled.
"Xinglan, you..." Xiao Ze was so angry that his finger trembled as he pointed at Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan, on the other hand, had an arrogant look on her face, as if she couldn't do anything about it.
"Xinglan, are you and Xiao Ze from the same school?" Teacher Guo's gaze fell on Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan nodded.
"Then you must know Xiao Ze very well, right? Is he really a hidden rich second generation?" Teacher Guo was very interested in digging into people's privacy.
Hearing what Teacher Guo said, Chu Xinglan silently took a sip of water and made no comment, after all, she was still a hidden rich woman.
Xiao Ze didn't miss Chu Xinglan's micro-expression; he smiled at Chu Xinglan with schadenfreude.
The fire has burned you, hasn't it? I didn't save you when you asked me to, and now I won't save you either.
Xiao Ze crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, ready to watch the show.
"Is it that you don't know or that you can't say?" Teacher Guo looked at Chu Xinglan with great interest.
Chu Xinglan was considering how to answer when her phone rang.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Chu Xinglan picked up her phone; it was Gu Ye calling.
"Baby, where are you?"
"I'm having dinner with my colleagues right now."
Everyone present was thrilled to hear that it was Gu Ye calling, especially the women, who all eagerly exclaimed, "Let him come over and have dinner with us!"
Jasmine, who was standing nearby, looked a little strange when she heard everyone cheering.
Chu Xinglan was a little embarrassed. How could someone as busy as Gu Ye have dinner with them?
Seeing the enthusiasm of these people, Chu Xinglan had no choice but to ask tentatively, "Would you like to come and have dinner with us sometime?"
She had only asked casually, but to her surprise, Gu Ye immediately replied, "Okay!"
Chu Xinglan was surprised, thinking she had misheard.
"You said... okay?"
"Yes, I'll be right there." Gu Ye's gentle tone was tinged with a smile.
"Okay, then drive carefully," Chu Xinglan said hurriedly.
"Brother-in-law is coming!" The women present were very excited. Although Chu Xinglan was younger than them, they liked to call Gu Ye brother-in-law, because they dared not call Gu Ye a lower generation.
"Jasmine, why don't you invite your fiancée over for a get-together too?"
The female colleague sitting next to Jasmine nudged Jasmine.
"I'll pass. Unless I'm some kind of influential figure, it's not appropriate to trouble the director with such expenses," Jasmine said with a gentle smile.
"It's rare for everyone to be so happy today, so this is just a small amount of money. Anyone who has a husband, boyfriend, wife, or girlfriend can come over," Director Huang said with a smile.
"Director, then I won't be polite." The female colleague who had just nudged Jasmine immediately picked up her phone and called her husband.
After finishing the call, she said to Jasmine, "You should call your boyfriend right away."
Jasmine felt a little embarrassed. She looked at the others, who were all calling for help, and then she looked at Chu Xinglan, who was smiling at her.
Jasmine smiled and picked up her phone to call Paul.
"I wonder who's more handsome, Paul or Gu Ye?" another female colleague started the conversation.
"Of course it's Gu Ye. No matter how handsome Paul is, he can't be more handsome than Gu Ye."
"The point of eating together is to have a good time, so let's not compare or put each other down," Teacher Guo interrupted the women's conversation.
Everyone tacitly stopped the previous topic at that moment.
Gu Ye was the last to arrive; everyone else's partners had already arrived, and Paul was sitting next to Jasmine.
"As expected of the big boss, even his entrance was the grand finale."
Although Gu Ye wasn't a big star, he was more popular than any big star, and Teacher Guo personally raised his glass to toast him.
Gu Ye downed it in one gulp without hesitation.
The others immediately followed suit and offered Gu Ye a toast, especially the women who came one after another to offer their toasts.
"If I keep drinking like this, I'll get drunk tonight." Gu Ye smiled, but looked at Chu Xinglan with a meaningful gaze. "How about I toast everyone?"
"Toasting is fine, but let Xinglan toast everyone with you first, since husband and wife are one body."
Xiao Ze placed a glass of wine in front of Chu Xinglan, intending to retaliate against Chu Xinglan for kicking him when he was down.
But when he placed his wine glass in front of Chu Xinglan, Gu Ye snatched it away.
"Don't you have any common sense? Didn't you see that Lanlan is pregnant?"
Gu Ye said with a cold face.
A cheer immediately erupted from the surrounding area.
"Wow, how spoiled!" The women exclaimed with envy, then looked at their own partners and felt that the other woman was inferior in every way.
"Xinglan, you're pregnant? When did this happen?"
Xiao Ze scratched his head. He had only been putting on an act, knowing that Gu Ye would definitely protect his own, but he hadn't expected to receive such explosive news.
The others immediately focused their attention on Chu Xinglan's pregnancy.
"How many months? You've kept it a secret for a long time." The others also congratulated Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan glared at Gu Ye, never expecting that after hiding it for so long, she would be betrayed by her own husband. Now what should she do to tell the curious crowd that she was actually eight months pregnant?
"Xinglan, congratulations."
At this moment, Jasmine spoke up.
Chu Xinglan immediately introduced her to Gu Ye.
"Gu Ye, this is Jasmine, whom I often mention to you." Chu Xinglan said to Gu Ye, and then to Jasmine, "Jasmine, this is my husband, Gu Ye."
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I've heard so much about you!" Jasmine stood up and toasted Gu Ye.
Gu Ye glanced at Jasmine casually, then froze.
