Gu Qingzhou was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
Although he would never agree to let He Yue return to the entertainment industry, he would definitely make it up to her out of guilt.
However, He Yue chose the worst way to deal with it, which was to completely infuriate Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at He Yue emotionlessly before opening the door and entering the house. He then quickly closed the door.
Gu Qingzhou's actions had answered her question. Staring at the closed door, He Yue gritted her teeth and turned around to leave.
After Gu Qingzhou returned to the house, he told Jiujiu what He Yue had just said and the two of them immediately moved to the new house.
Their new home was a villa that Gu Qingzhou had bought. The villa was not large, but it was well-secured and the environment was tranquil. It was very suitable for nurturing a fetus.
Gu Qingzhou called the servants to tidy up the villa and moved in with Jiujiu that night. The next day, he instructed the servants to move all of their belongings into the new house.
Just as He Yue was thinking about how she should release the news of Jiujiu's pregnancy, Jiujiu revealed that she was pregnant.
Jiujiu and Gu Qingzhou got married less than half a year after their relationship was exposed. Now that Jiujiu was pregnant, there were many who wished them well, but there were also many who cursed them viciously.
Jiujiu instructed Steamed Bun to take action against those who cursed her. Of course, the punishment this time was not just to get their accounts banned. She counted the number of times they cursed her and paid them 100 yuan per sentence. She then told Steamed Bun to donate the money to charity.
Since they didn't know what it meant to be virtuous with their words, she decided to help them do good with her actions.
He Yue was initially planning to create some hype by exposing Jiujiu's pregnancy. However, she did not expect that Jiujiu would reveal that she was pregnant before she could even come up with a good plan.
He Yue was completely dumbfounded. By the time she recovered from the shock, she looked rather deranged.
While He Yue was gritting her teeth in anger, Jiujiu and Gu Qingzhou had already finished eating.
Jiujiu rolled up some spaghetti with a fork and said while chewing, "Are you completely at odds with He Yue?"
The words "at odds with each other" somehow sounded a little sad. However, it was an apt description of the current situation between Gu Qingzhou and He Yue.
Gu Qingzhou paused in the midst of eating his noodles and said softly, "I didn't expect her to become like this."
Even though he had completely fallen out with He Yue, Gu Qingzhou still remembered the first time he met He Yue. Back then, He Yue was just a small-time manager. She appeared in front of him and asked if he had any plans to enter the entertainment industry. After they signed the contract, He Yue continuously fought for resources for him. After he became famous, she even gave him the opportunity to choose a script. In fact, when other managers were oppressing their artists, He Yue still argued with the company on the grounds that he only wanted to film a good movie and was unwilling to take on popular dramas.
If it weren't because of He Yue's insistence, he wouldn't have been able to focus on filming the movie that he wanted to film, let alone clinch the Grand Slam within ten years.
To Gu Qingzhou, He Yue was equivalent to a talent scout. Even though he did not continue to sign the contract with He Yue, he still allowed He Yue to be his manager. He even allowed He Yue to use his reputation to obtain some things for her.
Gu Qingzhou was grateful to He Yue, but it was not to the extent that he was willing to give up some principles for the sake of He Yue, let alone the fact that He Yue was the one who took the initiative to threaten him with Jiujiu's pregnancy.
That had already crossed Gu Qingzhou's bottom line.
At the thought of this, the gloominess on Gu Qingzhou's face dissipated and was replaced with confusion.
Gu Qingzhou's expression kept changing. Jiujiu swallowed the last mouthful of noodles and looked at Gu Qingzhou with her chin in her hand. "She likes you. Haven't you noticed?"
Jiujiu's sudden words gave Gu Qingzhou a great shock. Gu Qingzhou could not hide the astonishment on his face. Clearly, he had not thought of that possibility at all.
Seeing Gu Qingzhou's astonished expression, Jiujiu sighed and said, "She likes you. Otherwise, given her character, who wouldn't do anything without benefits, why would she be so nice to you?"
Since He Yue could use Gu Qingzhou's reputation to exchange for something that she wanted, it was obviously not a simple task. Although it was not as simple as what Jiujiu said, it was not far from it.
Gu Qingzhou subconsciously resisted this answer, but Jiujiu's expression told him that it was true.
Due to Jiujiu's honest words, everyone in the room fell silent.
The news that Jiujiu was pregnant with Gu Qingzhou's child naturally caused a sensation, and He Yue even expressed in front of many media outlets that Gu Qingzhou was a good actor and hoped that Gu Qingzhou could return to the entertainment industry.
He Yue was Gu Qingzhou's former manager, and the two of them had worked together for as long as ten years. Hence, He Yue's words naturally carried a lot of weight.
Many media outlets even used large boldface words to express what He Yue had said. In the end, they even called for Gu Qingzhou to return to the entertainment industry in the name of his fans.
In response to these calls, Gu Qingzhou directly said that he would stop working during Jiujiu's pregnancy.
Gu Qingzhou's answer was simply a slap to He Yue's face.
He Yue was once again so infuriated that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Jiujiu's studio was managed by Xiao Bai and Bao Zi. She only had to deal with some important matters, while Gu Qingzhou only had to go to the office once a week. The two of them lived in seclusion, leaving the media with no chance of catching them.
At this moment, there were some rumors about Jiujiu circulating on the Internet.
The first one was a video uploaded by a well-known Internet celebrity on Weibo.
In the video, Jiujiu's former high school classmates, Jiujiu's ex-boyfriends, Jiujiu's former college classmates, and even the men who had dated Jiujiu in the past appeared. They all said many unfavorable things about Jiujiu.
They said that Jiujiu was a gangster in high school, that Jiujiu had plastic surgery, and that Jiujiu was a prostitute.
However, without exception, the faces of those people were all heavily censored.
Jiujiu pretended not to see the news. Putting aside the fact that Li Ziyou had always been an obedient child, the censored faces of those people were so thick that even their own mothers couldn't recognize them. They claimed that they were Jiujiu's classmates and Jiujiu's ex-boyfriends. Who are you kidding?
If that's the case, I can also censor my face and tell everyone that I'm your father.
Jiujiu directly sent the video to Gu Qingzhou and told him to deal with it. Why didn't she deal with it herself? It was entirely because she felt that pregnant women shouldn't tire themselves out.
