uction off the ring, Cheng Kexin's heart ached terribly. It felt as if the ring wasn't being taken from her hand, but ripped from her very soul, tearing away flesh and bone, leaving her trembling with...Chapter 599: The Intrigue Behind It All

"What are you nervous about I just casually mentioned these things to a friend the other day."

Tang Lijia sensed that Gu Ke'yu had some questioning look in his eyes, so she explained it lightly.

But Gu Ke'yu obviously didn't believe Tang Lijia's words. What kind of friend would bring up such a private topic as Lu Jiyan's background during casual conversation

However, Tang Liji did not continue the topic. Instead, she suddenly spoke up and asked Gu Keyu seriously.

"Are you still going to follow him"

Gu Ke Yu had lived two lives and had spent quite some time in the entertainment industry. Of course, she knew what Tang Li Jia's "this following" meant.

"You're overthinking it. There isn't the kind of relationship between me and Lu Jiayan that you described."

Actually, she herself couldn't quite tell what her relationship with Lu Jiayan was now.

To say they had nothing going on would be a lie, considering they'd already been intimate. But to say they were in a relationship... their dynamic has never been about a sugar daddy and gold digger kind of love-hate entanglement.

"You're saying you don't have the kind of relationship I'm talking about"

Tang Lijia first looked at Gu Keyu with a puzzled expression, then inexplicably burst into laughter.

"So, are the two of you dating now"

Gu Ke'yu was taken aback. Although she and Lu Jiyan didn't have any messy relationship, dating seemed completely out of the question.

"No, we're not dating, but we're not in that kind of relationship either."

Gu Ke Yu didn't overthink it, and directly said.

"Speaking of which, why do you care so much about our relationship" Gu Ke Yu seized the opportunity to counter.

Tang Lijia's reaction was also quick. She didn't answer the question directly, but quietly steered the conversation in a different direction.

"No! I just saw that he treats you differently, and he doesn't seem to mind showing his affection for you in front of others. You also said that your relationship isn't the kind of subtle one common in the entertainment industry, so I thought you guys must be dating now!"

Gu Ke Yu's heart sank. Tang Li Jia really was impeccable with her words, there wasn't a single flaw in what she said.

"I and Lu Jiyan are just friends, we've known each other for a long time."

Tang Lijia nodded, looking a little lost in thought. She suddenly sighed and looked at Gu Keyu meaningfully.

"As an outsider, I wouldn't normally comment on your affairs, but I still feel compelled to offer a few words of advice."

Gu Ke Yu looked at Tang Li Jia, but found that her expression at this moment was unprecedentedly serious. Her usually cold and indifferent eyes were also full of concern, looking straight at her.

Perhaps you might think my words are meddling today, but I'm saying this because I care about you.

Tang Lijia seemed to recall something, her eyes softened.

"When I first met you on set, I felt that you were different from everyone else. You reminded me a lot of myself when I first entered the entertainment industry, and you were even better than me back then. You were particularly serious about everything you did, and you were especially talented in acting."

As she spoke, Tang Lijia suddenly smiled. However, the smile was filled with bitterness.

But now I'm completely different, not the arrogant person who used to walk in and out of the entertainment circle. The reason why I'm telling you this is so that you don't end up on the same wrong path as me!

Gu Ke Yu saw that slowly, a layer of water appeared in Tang Li Jia's eyes. This surprised her, because in her impression, Tang Li Jia had always been indifferent and cold towards people, not particularly close to anyone, but she didn't expect such a high evaluation from herself.

Before this filming reunion, their only interaction was during the work on "Poisonous Beauty." When Gu Kejun approached her about something, she defended herself and naturally attributed it to Tang Lijing's kindness.

So Tang Lijia, in Gu Keyu's heart, has always been someone who appears cold and aloof, but is actually kind-hearted. However, their relationship isn't exactly that of close friends either, because both are people who don't easily accept friendship.

Now, if Gu Ke'yu really had any good friends, Xiaotang would count as one. She was always sincere and open with Gu Ke'yu, while Tang Lijia could only be said to have a pretty good relationship with her.

Although they got along well at work, there was still a considerable distance between them and a friendship as deep as this.

Gu Ke Yu hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and grabbing Tang Li Jia's hand, his expression serious.

"Sister Li Jia, I understand what you mean. If there's anything you want to say, just tell me directly."

Gu Ke Yu decided to listen to what Tang Li Jia had to say first.

"Then I'll just be straight with you, my words might not be what you want to hear, but I'm serious about this reminder."

Tang Lijia's face had now returned to its usual state of aloofness and unapproachability. Gu Ke'yi knew that the conversation had officially entered its most important phase.

"If you really want to stand firm in the entertainment industry, it's best to keep your distance from Lu Jiayan! We people in this line are already prone to gossip, and Lu Jiayan's identity is so sensitive. No matter what your relationship is now, friend or otherwise, you need to keep a clear head at all times. These powerful figures have no such thing as feelings."

Tang Lijia's words completely stunned Gu Keyu. She obviously didn't expect Tang Lijia to directly bring up the heavy topic of the Mo Ding rules with her.

Why would you do that

"Don't ask why, just remember what I said today."

Tang Lijia's expression grew even more serious. Just then, a crew member pushed open the door and interrupted their conversation.

"Tang Lijia, it's your cue!"

Gu Ke Yu originally wanted to ask Tang Li Jia a few more questions, but seeing this situation, he had no choice but to stop.

Tang Lijia hummed in response and then got up to leave the dressing room to film. Gu Ke Yu remained sitting on the chair, staring blankly for a long time, unable to recover. He kept thinking about what Tang Lijia had said.

Is it that Lu Jiani and Li Jian are farther apart now

Is this a kind reminder or does it have another deeper meaning

Gu Ke'yu's mind was a bit muddled at the moment. Tang Lijia's words did indeed concern her, and with so many things happening recently, she felt caught off guard.

Gu Kejun suddenly hooked up with a big sponsor again, and this person was Tang Lijia's previous backer. Tang Lijia's attitude towards Lu Jiayan was so suspicious again, and her so-called personal studio registered under Lu Jiayan's company...

Could all of this be a coincidence, or was it fate that brought everything together Gu Ke'yu thought and thought, and suddenly a very absurd idea flashed through his mind. the school for a while, and felt a little bored.With nothing else to do, she decided to open her laptop and plug in the USB drive Qin YuChun had given her. She was going to watch Qin YuChun's movie t...
