Chapter 100 The Actress Who Competes with a Newcomer for the Best Actor 46
Ning Meng was filled with anxiety and kept searching online for the consequences if she were sued in her situation.
Seeing online that ordinary acts of violating others' privacy would not result in criminal charges, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she soon saw someone say that in certain special circumstances or if serious consequences result, criminal liability could still be pursued.
Her heart jumped again.
What constitutes a special circumstance? What constitutes serious consequences?
Will she go to jail?!
While Ning Meng was so scared that she couldn't eat or sleep, Gu Zezhi, in order to officially announce their marriage, dragged Yun Qing to get their marriage certificate.
The reason is that official announcements should be made with solemnity!
So, before they even had a chance to officially announce their relationship, they went straight to announcing their marriage.
Although their relationship had been exposed long ago, their sudden announcement of their marriage with a marriage certificate still caused a great stir online, with blessings everywhere.
Ning Meng hid at home with the curtains drawn tightly shut and no lights on. In the darkness, the light from her phone screen shone on her face, making her expression appear somewhat distorted.
Her failure and dejection, in contrast to Lin Yunqing's triumphant success, made people feel particularly resentful.
When she first joined the cast of "The Emperor", she was a promising newcomer with unlimited potential. Her career should have been brilliant. Why has she fallen to this state now?
It all seems to be because she fell in love with Gu Zezhi.
But what's wrong with her falling for Gu Zezhi?
*
Although Ning Meng's rich second-generation brother couldn't directly solve her predicament of being blacklisted and sued, he was still willing to help her out of consideration for their childhood friendship.
In the original storyline, this spoiled rich second-generation heir was in love with Ning Meng.
His confession to Ning Meng was witnessed by the male lead, which brought the relationship between the male and female leads one step closer.
He had essentially fulfilled his mission as a disposable tool, and never appeared again.
But now, he no longer has those feelings for Ning Meng.
After all, Ning Meng was innocent and kind in the original story, but now, Ning Meng's behavior of pestering Gu Zezhi is too ugly, and she is also in an ambiguous relationship with Qi Zhao.
He doesn't seem like a simple person at all.
Moreover, Ning Meng took advantage of him.
He had no idea beforehand that Ning Meng had asked him to help her get into that residential area in order to ambush Lin Yunqing and embarrass her.
If Ning Meng hadn't saved his life back then, he would have turned against her long ago, and he certainly wouldn't be thinking of helping her now.
However, this is the last time. It's a way of repaying her kindness. If Ning Meng acts recklessly again, he won't interfere.
The rich kid's way of helping was to ask someone to act as a go-between so that Ning Meng could apologize to Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi.
As long as Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi are satisfied and loosen their grip, Ning Meng's life will naturally not be so difficult.
When he informed Ning Meng, she was very unwilling, but considering her situation and the possibility of going to jail, she finally agreed with a heavy heart.
When Yun Qing and Gu Ze arrived at the private room at the club, Director Zhang and the investors were already there.
After the two were seated, Director Zhang looked at them and said with a smile, "You two are pretty quick! I thought Zezhi's condition meant he would only be able to live a lonely life, but I didn't expect him to find a wife."
Gu Zezhi was in a good mood and said with a smile, "I have to thank you for being such a great matchmaker."
If it weren't for this collaboration, he and Yun Qing would probably still be friends who added each other but never actually chatted.
Director Zhang was quite close to the two men. After chatting for a bit, he didn't mince words and said directly, "This is General Manager Gao, one of the investors in our film 'The Emperor'."
"I invited you here today because Ning Meng had someone find him and wanted him to make a connection so she could apologize to you."
"This old guy is my high school classmate and a longtime friend. He asked me for a favor, so of course I had to give him face and arranged for you guys to meet him."
"You've already given me a lot of face by coming. As for whether you forgive me or not, you don't need to consider me."
Ning Meng did something so disgusting; expecting Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi to forgive her is simply asking the impossible.
Given his temperament, he had no intention of arranging for Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi to meet up over this matter.
However, since his old friend had specifically asked him for help, he couldn't very well refuse.
I just felt a little guilty.
Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi just got their marriage certificate and are quite inseparable, so they've been putting off work as much as possible these past few days.
Mr. Gao had actually contacted their agent before, but was unable to make an appointment.
In the end, they had no choice but to ask Director Zhang for help.
Therefore, Director Zhang knew very well that Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi were really giving him face.
Yeah, you'll have to give a big red envelope when you attend the wedding, our relationship is pretty special!
This club was chosen by Director Zhang, and its biggest advantage is that the food is delicious.
All this was to ensure that Yun Qing could eat happily, and Gu Zezhi, whose eyes were only on his wife, would naturally be happy as well.
This is a way of making up for their discomfort when they see someone they dislike.
Mr. Gao wasn't upset about not being able to make an appointment with anyone before. He smiled and said, "I'm just helping to connect people. One meeting is enough. The people who contact me don't have such high requirements."
If he were truly required to get Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi to forgive him, he wouldn't accept the offer.
He's not stupid. How much benefit could the other party possibly offer? Is it worth him acting like a villain and forcing Gu Zezhi and Lin Yunqing to forgive Ning Meng?
The two of them revealed their true intentions directly, and Yun Qing and Gu Zezhi understood the situation.
None of the four mentioned Ning Meng again; instead, they started talking about the movie's promotion.
Yunqing thought the plate of melon seeds on the table tasted good.
As she ate, Gu Zezhi peeled the fruit for her.
So she would crack open the melon seeds one by one for a while, and then she could get a small handful of kernels, which she would eat in one bite.
Director Zhang and General Manager Gao exchanged a helpless glance. Sigh! At their age, they still have to endure being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
But what's wrong with Ning Meng? It's been so long, is this an apology?
At the entrance of the club, Ning Meng stood there, hesitant to step inside.
The rich kid frowned and urged, "Hurry up! You've been dragging your feet and you're already late. Who apologized so insincerely? I had to ask my brother to help me get this connection."
Although Ning Meng agreed to apologize, she felt unwilling and resentful at the last minute.
The thought of having to bow down to Lin Yunqing and endure all sorts of difficulties made her feel suffocated.
But it seems she has no other option but to apologize.
So she stood reluctantly at the door, hesitant to go in, yet unwilling to leave.
Seeing that she was still standing at the door and unwilling to go in, the rich second-generation was also a little annoyed.
This was originally Ning Meng's own business. He was just trying to help her out of kindness, but now she doesn't seem to care at all.
He simply reached out and grabbed Ning Meng's wrist, dragging her inside.
At this point, she had no choice but to go, since her brother had arranged the event. If Ning Meng didn't show up in the end, wouldn't that be a slap in her brother's face?
