Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral

Gu Zhi paused for a moment, glanced around, then stood up and walked to a place out of the camera's view to answer the phone.

Meanwhile, the audience in the livestream were anxious:

[Ahhh why did Zhi Zhi suddenly walk away? Whose call is it?]

[Emperor Qi, probably? I think I just saw the words 'Emperor'.]

[!!! The Emperor drew me out, are they discussing something?]

[@Gu Zhi taking a call behind our backs, you're too distant from us.]

[Ahhhhh the bond of gratitude to Zhi Yu is charging forward! I'm fainting from the sweetness!]

Shiyu Film and Television.

Qi Hanyu kept an eye on the topics discussed in the live chat while watching Gu Zhi's figure leave the frame.

Upon hearing the sound of the phone being picked up, he asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"

Gu Zhi had long anticipated what this phone call would ask, having already answered this question countless times this afternoon.

Upon hearing this, she simply replied coldly, "Not dead."

Qi Hanyu couldn't help but chuckle lightly, his deep and clear voice sweeping past her ear.

He asked with a smile, "Looks like Teacher Gu has great riding skills, shall we have a race when you return?"

Gu Zhi was slightly taken aback, a strange feeling inexplicably surfacing in her heart, yet difficult to grasp.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "We'll see, might not have the time."

"Alright." Qi Hanyu listened to her serious and earnest reply, and couldn't help but laugh softly.

However, before he could say anything, he heard someone on the other end calling for Gu Zhi, so he reluctantly ended the topic, softly advising, "You go ahead and be busy, take care."

Gu Zhi acknowledged with a hum, said nothing more, and hung up the phone, turning to walk toward the crowd.

Qi Hanyu gripped the phone tightly, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on the figure walking back on the screen.

As long as she doesn't resist or resent him, that's good, take it slow, he can wait.

To avoid backfiring and scaring her away.

There wasn't much happening with Gu Zhi's side, just that Father Qin and Mrs. Qin finished their chat and were preparing to return.

Having been exhausted the whole day, they were indeed tired, dispersed after eating.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiangwan suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "Zhi Zhi, come to my place to shower and sleep, will you? It's inconvenient at your place, and I have a big room all to myself, washed and waiting for you~"

Gu Zhi: "..."

[Hahaha Jiang Xiangwan is truly bold, she really spreads sugar if there is!]

[Awooo, washed and waiting for Zhi Zhi, Xiang Wan is scoring big! Sauce CP for the win!]

[Jiang Xiangwan, did you forget how timid you were last time when you said this!? Aren't you afraid a certain Emperor is watching the livestream, looking for trouble with you?]

[Whatever Emperor, just don't get involved, tonight Sauce CP is sleeping together, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold / expectation / hope / so happy!]

Qi Hanyu: "..."

He rubbed his forehead, suddenly feeling a bit unsettled.

However, after all, Gu Zhi didn't go; she wanted to spend more time with Father Qin and Mrs. Qin.

In the hospital, Gu Yiyi was nearly sleepless throughout the night.

Qi Yunlin's apology statement once again caught her off guard.

And after being in the hospital for so long, he never even inquired about her!

Gu Yiyi felt cold inside, and with Qi Yunlin's apology statement for comparison, more people were criticizing her!

Under the pressure of public opinion, her team quickly rushed an apology statement overnight and had her release it.

But because it was too late, it had no effect, and even under the apology statement were a slew of curses.

The little fans couldn't help but feel drained, some unfollowed, others didn't want to speak up anymore, while some continued to explain tirelessly:

"@Gu Yiyi made mistakes and mended her ways, nothing is greater. / Hugs / Hugs"

"Some people have had enough, Yiyi has apologized already, what more do you want from her?"

"Those who insult Yiyi, can you accumulate some kindness, and don't forget she's still in the hospital."

Some fans were more indignant, even couldn't help but scour Qin Zheng's Weibo to accuse him:

"Talking about how Yiyi is the fake daughter of the Gu Family, @Qin Zheng seeing Yiyi being bullied by Gu Zhi like this, are you really indifferent?"

"No matter what Yiyi is your sister, are you really going to let Gu Zhi bully her like this!?"

Qin Zheng had just finished a training match and upon seeing these messages, found them inexplicably ridiculous, deleting and blocking them without a second thought, just looking at them was unlucky!

This is called bullying? Compared to the harm Zhi Zhi suffered back then, it's not even a fraction.

Moreover, when did Zhi Zhi ever bully her!?

Gu Yiyi knew about this from the fan group, making her so angry that she couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, however, she received a message from the program group asking if she'd like to continue recording tomorrow.

The next day, Gu Zhi was awakened by the noises outside.

Just upon waking up, she saw Mrs. Qin walking in with a strange expression, looking at her and saying, "It's Gu Yiyi and them who have returned, the car drove into the yard, did it disturb you?"

Gu Zhi shook her head, somewhat surprised, but also kind of expected.

The longer she stays out of sight, the greater the impact, she might as well take advantage of her injuries and go to the livestream to play the pity card, win some sympathy.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Zhi stepped outside, she saw someone helping her out of the car, holding onto crutches.

Gu Zhi gave it a glance, ignored it, and went straight to get some water to wash her face.

Gu Yiyi saw her, her expression momentarily stiff before she quickly regained composure, slightly lowered her head, and said softly:

"Zhi Zhi, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday, sorry for bringing you so much trouble."

Gu Zhi paused for a moment, retreating to advance.

"Not as much trouble as yours." She gave her a contemptuous glance, curled her lips, and said rudely, "Rather than apologizing, you'd better fulfill yesterday's bet, don't forget that the loser has to agree to a condition of the winner."

Gu Yiyi was choked up.

Seeing her silence, Gu Zhi pressed on, "Don't tell me you can't take a loss?"

"..."

Gu Yiyi's face darkened, completely losing her composure. She almost forgot Gu Zhi was someone who gave no face in front of cameras!

She frowned, wearing a pitiful expression, "What do you want?"

Gu Zhi thought for a moment, glanced at Father Qin and Mrs. Qin not far away, and smiled lightly, "Kneel in front of my parents and kowtow three times, saying you are a beast."

Gu Yiyi: "..."

She clenched her palm hard, wishing she could raise her hand and slap Gu Zhi across the face.

[Hahahahaha kowtowing and calling yourself a beast, as expected of Zhi Zhi, only she could think of this!]

[A bystander can't stand it, isn't Gu Zhi overdoing it? Gu Yiyi just got out of the hospital and is still on crutches.]

[Don't pretend to be a bystander upstairs, this bystander finds it really satisfying. If Gu Yiyi won't kneel, I can help!]

[So does this mean that Gu Yiyi is really the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Qin? But she refuses to acknowledge it due to disliking poverty and loving wealth?]

[The answer is obvious, isn't it? Now it's just Gu Yiyi and the Gu Family being stubborn, hoping they won't acknowledge it in the future / goodbye.]

Gu Zhi still looked down at her condescendingly, with an overwhelming sense of pressure.
