Chapter 497: Drinking Competition

ad never felt this way about Ruo'er.He gave her hand a squeeze, forcing her to look up and meet his dark eyes."Remember that, Su Kexin," he looked straight at her, "never apologize for things you have...Mr. Li is said to really like actresses with unique features. Their looks don't necessarily have to be outstanding, but he seems to particularly enjoy long legs. He even had someone inquire about Gu Ke'yi before.

Before Gu Ke'yu became popular, his reputation in the entertainment industry was very bad. It could even be described as terrible. This Mr. Li often contacted him saying they should meet for a meal, but what he really meant behind this was self-evident. However, Gu Ke'yu rejected all of them.

I didn't expect the investor today to be this Mr. Li. I guess I won't have to hide from Jiang Yinghan for now, let's just try to avoid Mr. Li first.

All the actresses look down on this Mr. Li, especially Si Nian.

"Think you're somebody, acting all high and mighty, just because you're a shareholder of the JiaShi team You even have to rush over to sleep with him Pathetic."

After saying that, Gu Ke Yuyi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Si Nian to say that Li Zong was just a small shareholder. He thought so little of him and considered anyone who slept with him stupid. It seemed that this Si Nian was also very powerful, looking down on Li Zong.

Mr. Li is a shareholder of Jiashi, so with such formidable assets, he wouldn't draw much attention from Si Nian. She must be very capable as well.

This Wang stood in the midst of greetings, his gaze sweeping over every woman present, not missing a single one. Behind those squinting eyes lay something filthy and obscene. His roving gaze seemed to pierce through everything, utterly vulgar.

Wang looked at everyone's enthusiasm and welcome towards him, feeling very smug. He thought of himself as the big boss of this celebratory feast, with everyone revolving around him.

Of course, there were still some people who rushed to strike up a conversation.

Everyone's been waiting for you, Mr. Li!

It was Zhao Xiaono who spoke. She held a glass of red wine, swaying as she walked to Li Zong's side. Dressed provocatively, she took the initiative to offer him a toast.

Looking at this scene, Gu Ke'yu looked down on Zhao Xiaono even more. She was really too shameless.

Mr. Li seemed very happy after hearing Zhao Xiaono's words, his eyes fixed on her chest. He raised his glass and signaled to everyone.

"Thank you all for being here. Because of your hard work, our TV drama has achieved such great results. Of course, today I need to give special thanks to one person, and that is Gu Keyu!"

Gu Ke Yu didn't expect Li Zong to suddenly mention himself, and he was startled awake. He stood there a little at a loss.

She knew that Li Zong mentioned her, there must be nothing good, her heart was very uneasy, and she hated Li Zong.

I never expected that Mr. Li would still be so repulsive and target me like this.

Gu Ke Yu raised his glass, gesturing to Mr. Wang.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Compared to Li Zong's long string of polite words, Gu Keyu seemed very cold. When she raised her glass, she let out a sneer, and the curve of her lips showed that she was not very happy.

Li Zong's heart was deeply hurt by the heartless look. Seeing Gu Ke Yu acting so clueless, he was extremely irritable.

Zhao Xiaono, who was beside Li Zong, saw his face change drastically and quickly brought a cup of wine over.

"Oh dear, our Mr. Li shouldn't be unhappy. Xiaono will have a drink with you, don't be angry."

Their ingratiating manner was on full display for everyone to see.

Mr. Li, however, refused to accept the toast. He pushed away Zhao Xiaono's arm offering him the drink and pointed at Gu Keyu. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Today, I'd like to raise a toast to Gu Ke Yu."

Zhao Xiaono's face was pale. She hadn't expected that in front of so many people, Mr. Li would slap her in the face and leave her no way to step down.

Everyone felt very awkward.

The director, hearing this, felt something was amiss. He kept toasting and didn't know when he would stop drinking.

"Mr. Li, Ke'yu is still young, this wine is a fine brewed white liquor with a high alcohol content. It's better to replace it with tea."

This also shows the director's care for his actors, he didn't want Gu Ke Yu, who was participating in a celebration banquet for the first time, to be carried back, as it would be too taxing on his body.

The director's advice fell on deaf ears, but it completely angered Mr. Li.

“No, I’m talking about Gu Ke Yu. How can he not even toast me with a drink when my play has brought him this much success He's putting on airs now, bigger than me”

This sentence pushed Gu Ke'yu to the edge of a crisis. The people present turned pale, they had never seen someone so insulting before. All the actors present saw through this General Li's true colors.

Many people looked at Gu Keyu with sympathy. At such a young age, she was chosen by Mr. Li to toast, and no one could help her.

Instead, Gu Ke yu didn't seem so nervous or afraid. His expression was calm as he walked from the back to the front.

"Mr. Li, I really can't drink much today, how about you have a little less too"

Mr. Li, can you drink If you drink, you have to accompany me.

"How can you still haggle with me Today, whether you want to or not, you're going to drink! Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't survive in the entertainment industry!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a deathly silence fell over the room. The statement hung heavy in the air, like a mountain crushing these young actors, leaving them gasping for breath. Their acting careers might very well be over because of it.

Gu Ke Yu clutched the cup in her hand, her grip gradually tightening until her knuckles turned white. She knew she had to drink this wine.

Suddenly, a person rushed out, picked up a glass of wine, and stood in front of Gu Ke'yu.

His tall figure allowed Gu Ke'yu to recognize him at a glance. It was Jiang Yinghan who came to block the drinks for her. A handsome young male student would have to block drinks for others.

"Mr. Li, I'll drink this for her. I'll definitely have a good time drinking with you today."

The lights of the banquet hall fell on Jiang Yinghan, softening the lines of his shoulders with their gentle glow. The clean and youthful boy bravely stepped forward to block the wine for others, attracting everyone's attention. All eyes turned to this man.

Especially some gossipy people naturally understand the gossip story of Jiang Yinghan and Gu Keyu.

"It seems like their relationship is really on. The civilian girlfriend entered the entertainment industry for love, and her boyfriend stepped up to block the alcohol for her. Wow, what a beautiful love story."

"Oh, don't talk nonsense! Our Jiang Yinghan doesn't have any ulterior motives. This is just him being kind and helpful!"

"Don't deceive yourself. If you were the one being forced to drink, would anyone come to help you"

There was much discussion.

"Could it be that you felt sorry for her because you saw her drinking A hero saving a beauty I thought the news outside were all rumors, but it seems they're true after all, young man." Mr. Li laughed out loud.

Everyone thought Mr. Li would just let the two of them off like that, and they started whispering to each other, turning the scene from deathly silence into a buzzing discussion forum.

Gu Ke Yu clearly saw Si Nian on the other side, her face ashen. Gu Ke Yu understood her feelings for Jiang Ying Han, and absolutely couldn't agree to Jiang Ying Han's request to block the alcohol for her.

"No, I can do it myself."

She certainly didn't want to make another powerful enemy in the circle. Jealous women could do anything.

I've encountered situations where I was pressured to drink alcohol countless times in my past life. Worse experiences were those that I had to handle myself.

After saying that, he drank a cup of wine.

The high-proof baijiu was truly fierce. Gu Ke's throat felt as if it had been burned, the liquor searing its way down his esophagus, step by step, burning all the way to his stomach. It was truly unbearable, this baijiu was too strong.n and explain everything clearly. 。He believes that there is nothing a married couple can't talk about. 。Gu Zhi came very quickly by carriage, and in a short while, he arrived home. 。The sudden chill...
