Chapter 455 454: Asking Master Gu to Step In
"If you like it here, just buy a set and keep it here whenever you want to live here," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"Forget it, the houses here are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. I don't come here often, so why buy one to leave it empty?" Liu Jiayao's delicate body trembled slightly upon hearing this, and she turned her head to look at Ge Dongxu affectionately, smiling sweetly.
"Money is not a problem. The main thing is whether you like it or not," Ge Dongxu said.
Let alone the fact that he had over a billion funds lying around in Japan, just his monthly income in his own country was at least several tens of millions, and this amount was still rapidly increasing. Whether it be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, as long as Liu Jiayao liked it, he wouldn't even blink an eye.
The driver, Axiong, listened and couldn't help but secretly feel emotional. Being young and able to address Master Yang as a brother, it was indeed impressive. Houses worth tens or hundreds of millions, in his mouth, were like clothes costing just a few hundred or thousand dollars.
"I just like it here, but I'm not interested in buying a house here," Liu Jiayao shook her head and said.
Seeing that Liu Jiayao truly had no intention of buying a house here, Ge Dongxu just smiled and did not continue the topic.
While enjoying the scenery outside the window and talking, sometimes Axiong would also chime in to add a few words. Before they knew it, the car had reached a fork in the road near the mountaintop.
Axiong turned the car into the fork, which was lined with lush trees, and after driving about sixty to seventy meters, a luxurious villa appeared in front, hidden under densely foliaged, thick and tall trees.
...
"Sister Yu Xin, you must help me. You know I have spent a lot of effort and faced many hardships over the years just to achieve what I have now. Just as I am finally seeing the fruits of my labors, if the mainland decides to blacklist me, all my years of effort will be in vain," He Mengjie beseeched tearfully in the living room of the mountaintop luxury villa, looking exceptionally pitiful and heartrending.
"I can't help with this matter. It depends on whether Yezeng finds it convenient to make a call," Yu Xin said hesitantly, moved by compassion upon seeing He Mengjie's tearful face and recalling her own tough days in the entertainment industry.
"If Master Gu is willing to speak on my behalf, given his influence in the Chinese community, the mainland will definitely show him respect; that's for sure," He Mengjie said hastily.
"Although Yezeng has some connections with the leaders on the mainland and can have a word, it's still the leaders who show him respect; he must know his boundaries, or else it would be sheer arrogance. However, your issue should not be big. Alright, stop crying, and come with me to see Yezeng," Yu Xin said as she stood up.
"Thank you, Sister Yu Xin, thank you," He Mengjie replied overjoyed, quickly standing up and wiping the tears from her face.
Outside, in the villa's garden, Gu Yezeng was enjoying some family time with his son on the lawn, occasionally glancing towards the gate.
"Has Axiong called yet?" Yu Xin asked expectedly as she walked into the lawn with He Mengjie and picked up her son who was running towards her.
"He called, and they should arrive in a few minutes," Gu Yezeng replied with a smile, appearing to be in a good mood.
"Master Gu, hello," He Mengjie greeted respectfully with a bow.
Gu Yezeng nodded then said "Huh," with a slight frown, "What happened to you, Ms. He? Your eyes are all red?"
"I..." He Mengjie's tears suddenly fell like pearls off a broken string.
Gu Yezeng looked at Yu Xin with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Alas, Mengjie really hasn't had it easy. Just when she was finally making a name for herself, she unexpectedly received a ban from the mainland. Yezeng, see if it's convenient for you to speak to the mainland on her behalf?" Yu Xin, noticing Gu Yezeng looking her way, sighed and said.
"Oh, with He's current fame, the mainland wouldn't issue a ban without a reason. Did she say something inappropriate in public? The mainland is quite sensitive about political stances," Gu Yezeng furrowed his brows and asked.
"Master Gu, I didn't, I still understand the importance of the situation," He Mengjie, touching the tears on her face, shook her head.
"That makes things a bit easier, then. If it involved political stances, I wouldn't have intervened. Since that's not the issue, you must have offended someone in the mainland—tell me, who did you offend?" Gu Yezeng nodded and then asked.
Being the seasoned player he was, he naturally wouldn't rush into helping without weighing the situation first. If help was needed, he still needed to ask for details first.
"I didn't offend anyone, I'm usually very careful over there," He Mengjie again shook her head.
"That's a bit strange then, but don't panic. Considering your current status, you wouldn't be in direct contact with true important figures, so the problem shouldn't be too severe. However, the waters run deep in the mainland. Since Yu Xin has spoken for you, I can make inquiries on your behalf, but you'll need to handle the specifics yourself. I have guests about to arrive, and it's not convenient for me to handle this matter right now," Gu Yezeng said, his face showing a hint of bewilderment as he thought.
With such unclear and ambiguous issues, especially those involving the mainland, Gu Yezeng was reluctant to get involved. However, since his beloved wife had spoken up, and considering He Mengjie's status, even if she did offend someone, it would likely be manageable, he finally agreed to make inquiries on her behalf.
"Thank you, Master Gu, thank you, Master Gu!" He Mengjie, overwhelmed with joy, continuously bowed in thanks to Gu Yezeng, but a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes as she lowered her head.
Hmph, ban me, will they? Am I that easy to ban?
"Alright, if you want to thank someone, thank Yu Xin," Gu Yezeng said with a faint smile.
"Of course, I'm thankful to Sister Yu Xin," He Mengjie said, wiping away her tears and smiling through them.
Saying this, He Mengjie turned to Gu Yiran and clapped her hands, "Yiran, give sister a hug."
He Mengjie's rise to fame wasn't just because of her beauty and noticeable acting talent but also because she had a friendly charm.
At her cheer, the pretty big sister clapping her hands, Gu Yiran freed himself from his mother's grasp and leaped into He Mengjie's arms, shouting, "Sister hug, sister hug!"
He Mengjie happily lifted Gu Yiran and gently tickled him under his armpits, causing Gu Yiran to burst into giggles.
Gu Yezeng and Yu Xin, as parents, felt happy seeing their son so joyful.
"Why don't we have Mengjie stay as well, young people generally like stars," Yu Xin whispered to Gu Yezeng.
"Sure, this time Mr. Ge also brought his girlfriend over, having someone her age around should make for a better conversation," Gu Yezeng nodded and said.
