The perceptive System 030, without waiting for its host's instructions, had already finished checking Gu Yu's information.
"Host, you don't need to remind me; I've already checked his info!"
"Oh? Already done?"
Su Zhiyi was good at reading people.
Even without System 030 telling her who Gu Yu was, she could tell from his understated yet luxurious custom suit and the watch on his wrist that his identity was no simple matter.
He was definitely rich.
Sure enough, System 030 began reporting Gu Yu's impressive background to its dear host.
"Gu Yu, eldest son of the Gu Family, the nominal heir but actual power holder and decision-maker of the Gu Family. The Gu Family is one of the top aristocratic families in the capital, on par with the Pei Family and the Jiang Family. Starlight Entertainment Media Company is also under their Gu Group."
For context, Starlight Entertainment was the industry leader, with many well-known A-list celebrities under its umbrella.
If Starlight Entertainment dared to claim it was the second in the entertainment industry, no company would dare to claim first.
"The Gu Family dotes on their youngest daughter, so after Gu Yumo entered the entertainment industry last year, they had Gu Yu take over Starlight Entertainment."
"This drama is also invested by the Gu Family... It seems that Gu Yumo made her brother include you just so she could act with you."
"Host, you're really lucky to have such a devoted fan!"
After hearing this, Su Zhiyi had a general understanding of the Gu Family in the capital.
No wonder she had seen the movie king Pei Yan in the makeup room earlier, and he said he was guest-starring in this costume drama, which was beneath his status, because of a friend's invitation.
The Pei Family must have a good relationship with the Gu Family, as both are top aristocratic families in the capital.
Pei Yan was probably invited by Gu Yu to act in this drama.
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu looked down at the script Gu Yumo was holding upside down, then looked up at Gu Yumo, who was still pretending to be engrossed in the script. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
"Gu Yumo, do you think I'll believe you?"
Su Zhiyi glanced at Gu Yumo.
The script was reversed.
She poked Gu Yumo and whispered, "You're holding the script upside down."
Gu Yumo's eyes widened, and she quickly turned the script right side up.
"Um... Yumo."
Xia Xu, who had been watching their interaction from the side, couldn't help but remind Gu Yumo.
He pointed at his empty hands, then at the script in Gu Yumo's hands. "You took my script. What am I supposed to read?"
Gu Yumo: "..."
Gu Yumo's expression froze, then she burst into laughter to break the awkward silence.
"Hahaha..."
She walked over to Xia Xu and patted his shoulder hard. "What an embarrassing mix-up! I took your script!"
Quick as a flash, she shoved the script belonging to Xia Xu back into his arms and then took her own script from her assistant.
"Come on! Let's rehearse our lines together!"
Then she shot a resentful glare at Gu Yu, who was still standing there.
"Brother, can you stop looking? I can't act well with you here; I can't even get the lines out! And don't come to the set tomorrow anymore. I feel so constrained..."
"..."
After listening to Gu Yumo, Gu Yu glanced inexplicably at Su Zhiyi, then quickly looked away before she noticed and turned a cold face to Gu Yumo.
"Do you think I want to be here? It's because Mom and Dad are worried about you."
But he still heeded Gu Yumo's words and walked away.
However, before leaving, he gave Su Zhiyi a meaningful look.
Su Zhiyi was also looking at Gu Yu. Their eyes met at that moment. She was startled for a second, then sweetly smiled at him very politely.
The tips of his ears suspiciously turned red. He quickly nodded back to Su Zhiyi and then quickened his pace, leaving swiftly.
The next scene was a conflict scene where the lead couple quarreled.
After the quarrel, it would be her turn, the loyal best friend, to mediate.
The scene was fairly simple. Su Zhiyi only had to have a simple dialogue with the female lead, with no major actions.
She and Gu Yumo rehearsed the lines, which went smoothly. After one pass, the set was ready.
The director called out to Xia Xu and Gu Yumo, "Xiao Xia, Yumo, you two come over first."
He also reminded Su Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, you can prepare too. After their scene, it's your turn."
All three responded in unison, "Okay."
"Sister Zhiyi, I'm off to act now." Gu Yumo didn't forget to say goodbye before leaving.
