“Just take it. Don’t worry, the jade pendant won’t harm you immediately. You can put it in your pocket,” said Gu Ning.
“Fine!” Since Gu Ning said that, Chen Jialin said nothing further. She curbed her fear and picked the black jade pendant up.
“Do you need to act next?” Gu Ning asked.
“I have another scene, but it isn’t long. I just need to show my face for a few seconds. If nothing happens, it should be finished after a few tries,” said Chen Jialin.
“We still have time now. You can go finish your scene, then we’ll go to meet him afterwards,” said Gu Ning.
“Great, Miss Gu, see you then,” said Chen Jialin. She was incredibly respectful of Gu Ning now.
Although she was very kind to Gu Ning when they met, she was only polite on the surface, but in her heart, she was very jealous of Gu Ning.
She was jealous of Gu Ning being so successful at such a young age. Gu Ning was now the chairman of a large business group and she had tens of billions of yuan in wealth. In addition, Gu Ning was also incredibly beautiful.
However, now she wasn’t jealous of Gu Ning any longer. She was filled with respect and gratitude towards Gu Ning.
Chen Jialin wasn’t generous or upright. She would even sell her body for a chance at fame, but she had never harmed anyone. She knew that she should return other people’s kindness.
Because Gu Ning and Chen Jialin had a private talk away from the crowd, nobody knew what they were talking about.
Therefore, when they walked back, everyone turned to look at them.
This time, Chen Jialin was much more pleasant, and they believed that it must be because of Gu Ning’s effort.
Although they still didn’t have a good impression of Chen Jialin, she seemed much more easy-going than before.
Because of Gu Ning’s presence, they didn’t dare to give them too many glances.
Once Chen Jialin was back, she went to fix her make-up.
Staring at Chen Jialin, her assistant was in great panic because she thought Gu Ning had criticized Chen Jialin and Chen Jialin might vent her anger on her.
However, Chen Jialin didn’t do that, because she was still in fear of the black jade pendant.
Anyway, since she was picked by Lu Zhan and became a supporting actress in Life After Life, Legend of Demon Flower, she was very professional. Therefore, she composed herself and no one could see her real mood.
When it was Chen Jialin’s part, she quickly engaged with her role. Luckily, she wasn’t an important role in this scene, so it didn’t need many skills. So before long, Chen Jialin’s part was finished.
…
Gu Ning didn’t bother to keep what Chen Jialin had been through a secret from Lu Zhan, so she told him the whole story.
Upon hearing it, Lu Zhan felt scared. However, since Chen Jialin was willing to change, he wouldn’t criticize her.
Besides, Chen Jialin had finished many parts, and it would waste a lot of time and money if they replaced her with another actress. After all, Chen Jialin needed to show her face in many scenes with other important actors.
…
As soon as Chen Jialin finished her scenes, she went to change. Gu Ning was already waiting for her at the parking lot.
Chen Jialin’s part was over, but the shooting wasn’t over yet, so the crowd didn’t disperse. Therefore, when they met at the parking lot, no one saw them.
Even if anyone saw them, it wouldn’t be an issue, and would only arouse discussions.
…
After a while, Chen Jialin finished changing and walked out. When she left, she told her assistant and chauffeur to leave before her. They didn’t know what she was going to do.
At the parking lot, Chen Jialin saw Gu Ning waiting by a car, then she walked to her.
“Get in!” Gu Ning said to Chen Jialin. After Chen Jialin got in the car, they left.
Chen Jialin’s assistant and chauffeur were aware that Chen Jialin left with Gu Ning, but Chen Jialin told them not to tell other people. Therefore, even though they knew Chen Jialin left with Gu Ning, they would keep it a secret.
However, they were curious about what they were doing together.
“Hey, do you know what Jialin is going to do with Miss Gu?” The assistant asked the chauffeur.
“A business meal I guess. Anyway, it’s good that Jialin has been chosen by Miss Gu,” said the chauffeur.
The assistant, however, didn’t think it was so simple, because she knew that Gu Ning had a chat with Chen Jialin because Chen Jialin had been behaving abnormally these days, but she didn’t know what they were going to do, and she wouldn’t ask either.
…
Half an hour later, Gu Ning took Chen Jialin to XX club. Gu Ning parked the car, then they walked to the private room which Chen Jialin booked.
Outside the private room, Gu Ning didn’t sense the evil cultivator, but she wasn’t sure whether the evil cultivator had already come, so she used her Jade Eyes to check if anyone was in the room.
Ten minutes later, Gu Ning sensed an evil cultivator around them. It turned out to be Kun.
“Give me the black jade pendant,” Gu Ning said to Chen Jialin. Gu Ning wouldn’t give it back to Kun, she was going to ruin it. She didn’t want anyone to pick it up after Chen Jialin dumped it.
This black jade pendant was an evil object after all, so it was harmful to people even if the person didn’t eat raw chicken blood.
“Here.” Chen Jialin immediately gave the black jade pendant to Gu Ning.
Afterwards, Chen Jialin felt much better. Holding the black jade pendant filled her with horror.
Gu Ning took the black jade pendant and told Chen Jialin to wait in the room and order several dishes.
Right after Gu Ning walked out of the hall, she met Kun.
Because Kun wasn’t at a high level, his face was pale. He put on some make-up before he came in order to make himself look normal. He was also wearing cosmetic contact lenses, so that he looked less creepy.
“Hi, are you Kun?” Gu Ning asked without delay. Although she was sure of it, she still needed to hear the answer from his mouth.
Kun didn’t know her, and had no idea how she knew his name. Why did she come to wait for him here?
Anyway, Gu Ning was a pretty girl who was born in a lunar year, so she aroused Kun’s interest. As a result, he didn’t ask Gu Ning how she knew him.
She was just a mortal so there was no reason for him to be afraid of her.
