Chapter 2309 - 37: Three Years Later: Another Encounter with the White Lotus (Part 2)

Gu Xiran heard Gu Jinchen’s words, her face slightly paled, she pondered for a moment, and then her lips curled up slightly.

"I don’t know... the future, no one knows. Alright, little brat, you’re young, but have a lot of thoughts... You’re still a kid, why care about so many things?"

After speaking, Gu Xiran annoyedly raised her hand and pinched Gu Jinchen’s cheek.

Three years have passed...

The three seem... to have just taken some time to buffer each other.

In fact... it eased their relationship, but didn’t solve any problems.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled into a bitter smile, the previous excitement... seemed to be slowly pushed away by time... that feeling... is very strange.

"Tsk... I’m an adult now... Sis, I’m worried you won’t get married."

Gu Xiran: "..."

This must not be a biological brother, must be a picked-up brother.

"By the way, sis, if you don’t want to work after graduation, I can support you... the internet company under my name is doing alright."

Gu Xiran was moved.

Sometimes brothers are still good.

"Hmm... can I spend casually then?"

"Uh... you’ll have to discuss that with mommy, mommy doesn’t want daddy to support her now, she explicitly wants me to, I’m worried... if both of you need support, I won’t be able to afford it."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Mommy is still smart.

Mommy is so amazing...

Gu Xiran felt full of admiration for Jian Ran.

"Alright, mommy and I will eat you and daddy poor..."

"No problem."

...

After seeing off the Gu Family, Gu Xiran went back to her studies in the fourth year.

Actually, most of the classes were over, what’s left is practical work.

Gu Xiran grew up in sets since childhood, so... her practical experience is solid.

She carefully studied the performing arts cultures in the East and West, they’re roughly the same, the essence is input, after all.

The Western style pays more attention to eye expression...

Gu Xiran returned to her private apartment, Sister Ping had already prepared dinner, waiting for quite some time.

"Tang Bao... recently Director Li won an Oscar... He sent an invitation asking if you’re willing to play the female lead in his new movie."

Sister Ping was full of excitement, she wanted more than anyone else for Gu Xiran to achieve greater accomplishments in acting.

Gu Xiran thought about it... she liked Director Li’s works... very grand, one of the top Chinese directors in the country.

Gu Xiran took off her coat and placed it on the chair, pursing her lips, she said: "The usual rule, let me see the script first."

"Alright, the script will satisfy you, I read it and think it’s good..."

"I just don’t want to act in clichéd scripts... after all, after studying for this time, I want to seek breakthroughs."

Gu Xiran answered very seriously.

Unfortunately, during these three years abroad, good scripts are very rare, domestically, focus is more on hyping IP, high-popularity idols, with fewer investments in other areas.

In short... it began going into an abnormal development path.

Sister Ping understood Gu Xiran’s thoughts and supported them, she took out clean chopsticks from the kitchen and handed them to Gu Xiran, she couldn’t help speaking up.

"Tang Bao, the domestic actresses always worry about losing popularity, and take commercial performances desperately, yet you, at a great age, say you’re retiring without caring about popularity."

"This is a form of care too, I don’t want to waste my popularity, I want to create something with my work..."

Gu Xiran smiled brightly, her hair had grown much longer since leaving Yuncheng City, emitting intellectual elegance.

"Besides, Sister Ping, you positioned me as an actress, not an idol... Actors of every age have suitable roles to play... are not worried about age issues, only idols worry about getting older and losing fan base..."

"So, I’m an actress, not an idol, I’m not worried a bit about this."

Sister Ping saw Gu Xiran speaking eloquently, and lightly laughed.

"You girl, hurry and eat."

"Hmm... I’m almost starving, thanks Sister Ping... Wow, it smells so good, Sister Ping, your cooking skills are improving..."

"Yeah, unlike my agent skills..."

"Haha..."

...

After Gu Xiran and Sister Ping warmly finished dinner, they cuddled on the sofa to read scripts together.

In recent years, sci-fi movies in Europe and America have been very popular, relatively limiting for actresses.

It’s either about being high-appearance, so the male lead can rescue her heroically anytime or anywhere, or being able to perform martial arts, so she can fight bosses with the lead.
