"That's it, I've already arrived at the set. You should head back now! You just got me here."

Lu Jiuyan's face darkened, he looked at Gu Ke Yu in silence for a long time, then spoke in a low voice.

"Are you unwilling to appear with me in front of the crew now because I've been gossiped about by people on set"

Gu Ke Yu didn't expect Lu Ji Yan to ask her so directly, and he actually caught the most crucial point so easily.

Gu Ke Yu became even more panicked. Lu Ji Yan's performance seemed like that of someone who had once lost their memory, his thoughts were meticulous, and he was even more perceptive than Gu Ke Yu, who had been reborn.

"No, no, you're thinking too much. How could someone gossip like that!"

Gu Ke Yu hurriedly said, a warm and gentle smile appeared on his face.

"On the set, some people couldn't stand that as a newcomer I became the leading actress. They said I only got the audition because of connections."

As soon as Gu Ke Yu finished speaking, Lu Ji Yan's face darkened a few shades. He spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

"I admit that the fitting thing was not well considered on my part. Rest assured, it won't happen again next time."

Gu Ke'yu hearing Lu Jiyan say this, knew that his previous words had caused a misunderstanding. He hurriedly shook his head and began to explain in a flustered manner.

"I'm not blaming you at all, and this new drama wouldn't have been possible without you. Thanks to you, I was able to participate in the audition and ultimately land the role. Once this drama is finished and released, it will be much easier for me to take on other projects and new scripts. I'm truly grateful for your help."

Although Gu Ke Yu said these words with a calm expression, her heart was actually quite nervous and flustered. She was indeed worried that Lu Ji Yan would misunderstand her.

Lu Jiayan fell silent after hearing this, nodded after a while, didn't continue the topic, bid farewell to Gu Keyu and left.

Gu Ke'yu stared blankly at Lu Jiyan's departing figure until he was completely out of sight. She then let out a long breath and turned to enter the film set. It was still early, most people were still having lunch, she only saw Tang Liji arrived on set, sitting in front of the makeup mirror applying makeup.

The process of putting on makeup for the costume drama was quite troublesome, and Tang Lijia's role was particularly special. She played a high-ranking imperial concubine, whose character design was dignified and elegant, so her attire was extremely luxurious, and her hair bun was incredibly complex.

This is mainly due to director Du Yajun's strict requirements. He has been doing his best to fully restore the character descriptions in the original novel, so the image and makeup requirements for the characters are particularly high, which means they need a lot of time to do their makeup each time.

While Tang Lijia's character makeup was more difficult to apply, so she always had to arrive at the set an hour earlier than everyone else.

"Li Jiajie, I'm back." Gu Ke Yu walked to Tang Li Jia's side and sat down, giving a light greeting.

"How did you come back so quickly" Tang Lijia looked at Gu Ke Yu with some curiosity, her eyes filled with other emotions.

"I thought you guys would be eating for a long time, didn't expect it to end so quickly. Didn't you chat anymore"

"What could I possibly have to talk about with Lü Jienyan! And didn't we agree to rehearse our scenes So we just came back here after dinner."

Gu Ke Yu said softly, yet she earnestly scrutinized Tang Li Jia's expression. She always felt that Tang Li Jia's attitude towards her relationship with Lu Ji Yan was a bit strange.

As expected, Gu Ke'yu caught the fleeting change in Tang Liji's expression. After hearing what Gu Ke'yu had just said, there was something unnatural on her face, although she quickly recovered. However, Gu Ke'yu still noticed it.

Tang Lijia looked at Gu Ke'yu with some hesitation, just as the makeup artist on the side lightly spoke.

"Alright, done."

Tang Lijia's makeup was done, the makeup artist's skills were indeed good. Tang Lijia looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.

"Then I'll get to work first, you just rest here for now! It's not time to shoot yet, and your outfit isn't suitable for walking around, so just stay here and don't wander off. The crew will call you when we start shooting."

Tang Liji nodded, and the makeup artist picked up his makeup bag and walked away.

Only Gu Ke'yu and Tang Liji were left in the dressing room.

"Gu Ke Yu, you... what is your relationship with Lu Ji Yan"

Finally, Tang Liji couldn't help but ask first.

Gu Ke Yu narrowed her eyes, as expected her guess was right. There seemed to be something going on between Tang Li Jia and Lu Ji Yan, otherwise they wouldn't be so restless...

“The two of us met by chance in the countryside when we were young, and we were also playmates during our adolescence. So Lu Jiayan now treats me kindly because he considers me an old acquaintance.” Gu Keyu narrowed his eyes, carefully watching every little expression on Tang Lijing's face, and said slowly.

This was a carefully crafted statement, designed to ensure that the lie wouldn't be exposed. Both she and those around her repeated it consistently.

Tang Lijia was also sizing up Gu Keyu's expression. After a long while, she spoke again.

"So that's how it is, no wonder..."

For Tang Liji's performance, Gu Keyu was full of confusion and bewilderment.

Logically, everyone would ask for further explanation after hearing her words. After all, Gu Keyu and Lu Jiayan's statuses are vastly different, and it's hard to believe they knew each other during their childhood.

One is a country girl, the other a wealthy young master. They are worlds apart, seemingly destined to never cross paths. It's understandable that people would be curious and ask questions.

However, Tang Lijia didn't. She seemed to believe Gu Ke'yu's words just now and didn't seem to want to ask any more questions.

"So, your home is near Honglin Village then"

Tang Lijia asked softly, a question that made Gu Ke'yu, who was already confused, suddenly feel a jolt in his heart.

Tang Lijia even knows that Lu Jiayan grew up in Honglin Village as a child! She had only suspected before that Tang Lijia and Lu Jiayan were more familiar with each other, or perhaps they knew each other a long time ago. Now it seems that their relationship is far more complex than she imagined.

However, this also raises at least one question that Gu Ke'yu already knows the answer to. This is probably why Tang Li Jia confidently believed what she just said to him.

Tang Lijia's performance made Gu Keyu's heart a little flustered. She remembered when she planned to get close to Lu Jiuyan, she asked Zhao Wei to investigate Lu Jiuyan. According to Zhao Wei's information, the fact that Lu Jiuyan grew up in the countryside as a child should only be known by his family members.

Now, how did Tang Lijia know this news Could it be that there is some unknown relationship between Tang Lijia and the Lu familyShe found that this ID had only posted twice, once contributing to herself and once to Zhou Shuangqing.This coincidence is a little too strange.While some girls may just enjoy gossip, if someone like...
