Chapter 572

Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi followed the assistant to Gao Jingshan's lounge. Gao Jingshan was pretty cordial toward them, offering to take pictures with them. He even said with a smile, "If you want tickets to any of my movies in the future, you can just call me and I'll have them delivered." As he spoke, he gave Qin Lianyi his phone number. In Gao Jingshan's opinion, Young Master Yi had mentioned that Miss Ling was his girlfriend when Ling Yiran came with Yi Jinli that day. Naturally, he wanted to get along with her. After all, being in showbiz, the more connections one had, the merrier. Qin Lianyi was Ling Yiran's best friend, and Gao Jingshan was more than happy to show kindness. If Gao Jingshan had given Qin Lianyi his phone number in person before this, Qin Lianyi would have been thrilled. However, at this moment... she merely took it and said a polite thank you. After getting Gao Jingshan's autograph and posters, Qin Lianyi took the initiative to say to Gao Jingshan, "Sorry for bothering you today. We gotta go now, thank you!" With that, Qin Lianyi left and dragged Ling Yiran with her. Ling Yiran was a little surprised. She had thought that Qin Lianyi would want to stay a bit longer. Once they were out of Gao Jingshan's lounge, Ling Yiran said, "Why did you leave so soon? You couldn’t have been shy just because he was near you." "No!" Qin Lianyi rolled her eyes. What was her friend saying? "I just think I shouldn't have brought you here today." "Just because of Ling Luoyin?" asked Ling Yiran. "She's clearly trying to set you up by doing such things in front of all those fans. We have no idea what the internet is going to say about you." Qin Lianyi was often caught up with all kinds of entertainment gossip. Thus, it was only natural for her to think of such things. "They can say whatever they want." Ling Yiran shrugged. She was long past caring about gossip. Ling Yiran used to hope that she left a good impression of herself in the eyes of others. However, she later found out that if she cared too much about other’s opinions, she would only end up suffering. If she had continued to care about what others thought upon getting out of prison, she would have ended up hanging herself with a rope. "Why don't you ask Yi Jinli to help you? If there are really bad rumors on the internet, ask Yi Jinli to get someone to shut them down," said Qin Lianyi. After all, such a thing should not be a problem for Yi Jinli. Ling Yiran looked at her best friend's worried look and patted her on the shoulder. "All right, I get it. Don't worry about it." "By the way, what's your relationship with Gu Lichen?" Qin Lianyi thought of another question. "He seems to... care about you. He even helped you get Ling Luoyin off your back." No matter how she looked at it, Gu Lichen seemed to be on Yiran's side. However, Gu Lichen was Ling Luoyin's boyfriend. "He just thinks I look a bit like someone he knows. Maybe... he got separated from that person and didn't get to find her. So, he feels a little compensatory when he sees me," said Ling Yiran. Her guesses were based on past conversations she had had with Gu Lichen. "I think I've heard of it," Qin Lianyi thought for a moment before saying, "From the gossip posts I've seen before, someone has said that it seems all the girlfriends Gu Lichen has had are just stand-ins. Gu Lichen has been trying rather hard to find a woman." Qin Lianyi used to think that those netizens were merely spouting nonsense, but it now seemed to be true. While they were talking, they saw Bai Tingxin coming their way. Qin Lianyi immediately felt guilty and subconsciously hid behind Ling Yiran. "Why? You dare say you're working overtime today but you dare not see me?" Bai Tingxin's voice rang coldly.
