CHAPTER 1400: CHAPTER 1304: WHY RETIRE AT THE HEIGHT OF POPULARITY?

Xia Yangyang was lost in her thoughts.

Suddenly someone sat down beside her.

When Xia Yangyang turned her head, she saw Shao Tiantian.

But clearly, Shao Tiantian hadn’t come for her.

Because originally, Xia Ye was sitting between Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen.

Now, having finished eating, Xia Ye was dragged away by He Bi to play with slingshots.

So now Shao Tiantian was sitting where Xia Ye had been.

Right next to Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen.

Shao Tiantian only gave Xia Yangyang a simple greeting, calling her "Sister Yangyang".

Then she turned around and, holding a cup of juice, said to Gu Qichen, "I didn’t have a chance to properly thank Mr. Gu just now. Since there’s no alcohol here, I’ll use this juice as a substitute to toast you."

After saying this, Shao Tiantian downed the juice in her cup in one gulp.

Gu Qichen didn’t seem to be looking at her.

He just lightly sipped from a cup on the table.

Shao Tiantian felt somewhat embarrassed by Gu Qichen’s perfunctory response.

With so many cameras filming.

How could he not even say a word, making it seem as though she was the one eagerly trying to ingratiate herself?

However, cozying up was exactly what Shao Tiantian had come for.

Shao Tiantian was an artist at "Future".

She had gotten in through connections.

Because her brother had a certain connection with Shen Shichuan, the president of "Future".

But in fact, the connection wasn’t deep.

Although she starred in a very popular idol drama earlier this year.

Her popularity is quite high right now.

But "Future" has plenty of actors who are purple with popularity.

Half of the entertainment industry’s top stars have been promoted by "Future".

Moreover, in this business, fame is fleeting, and new faces emerge too frequently.

Those who remain popular for decades, as if their fame is evergreen, all have strong backgrounds.

Just like the queen of entertainment, Shen Manbing.

The relationship with her brother isn’t that solid.

But Shao Tiantian is clear that the Mr. Gu in front of her is Shen Shichuan’s best friend - reportedly his childhood friend, with decades of friendship.

Not to mention that, aside from this relationship, Gu Qichen is the president of Shengyuan Group, a king in the business world who commands the wind and the rain.

And he is the dream of all women...

It’s just a pity that Gu Qichen is already married.

Seeing that Gu Qichen was not interested in her, Shao Tiantian turned to look at Xia Yangyang.

Shao Tiantian rested her chin on her hand and sized up Xia Yangyang.

This is the wife whom Gu Qichen is incredibly fond of.

The outside world has many stories about Gu Qichen spoiling his wife.

In the eyes of the public, Gu Qichen is a complete wife-pampering fanatic.

But, from her observation,

From the beginning of the show’s recording until now, these two people don’t seem to be as intimate as the rumors suggest.

They hardly communicate, and there’s not much interaction.

Even their glances are cold.

How can this be likened to the couple of legend?

Shao Tiantian raised her eyebrows,

And suddenly put on a smile, "Sister Yangyang, actually you’re also my senior. You once played in a film called ’Future’, which I really like. You portrayed the stunning dual personalities perfectly; it was truly admirable."

Truth be told, Xia Yangyang had long forgotten about making any movie called "Future".

But on the surface, Xia Yangyang responded perfunctorily, "Thank you."

Shao Tiantian rested her arms and said lazily, "However, I’ve always been curious about something. Sister Yangyang, you were so popular back then, why did you withdraw from the entertainment industry? If you were still active now, you would surely be a queen on par with Sister Bingbing."

Xia Yangyang smiled and said, "Entering the entertainment industry was a surprising encounter. But my heart wasn’t in it, so I left."
