The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 72 Fans
Gu Lanxi and Gu Yongxin share the same great-grandfather.

However, Gu Yongxin is the eldest daughter of the second uncle of the fourth branch, while Gu Lanxi is the only son of the youngest branch who is listed in the family genealogy.

The great-grandfather who was later adopted by her family was also her great-grandfather's brother.

Legally speaking, after the adoption, her relationship with Gu Yongxin and the others became more distant. However, the other side only gave her a title so that she wouldn't be sent to an orphanage and embarrass the Gu family. They never actually raised her, so she still stayed closer to the other side.

Gu Yongxin's mother, Wei Jinfang, was the daughter of a coal mine owner in Datong. The reason she married into Guangzhou was simply because she and Gu Yongxin's father fell in love while she was studying abroad, and the two families were well-matched, so they became in-laws.

The couple had a harmonious relationship after marriage. In addition to their eldest daughter, Gu Yongxin, they also had two sons and a daughter, the youngest of whom was only in the third year of junior high school this year.

In addition, the two complement each other very well in their careers; one is shrewd and outgoing, while the other is introverted and steady, making them a rare model couple who take care of their family.

Gu Lanxi arrived at the airport a little after six o'clock, found the corresponding exit, and soon saw a tall woman with a long face, phoenix eyes, elegant features, and fair skin carrying a Hermes Birkin bag walking towards her.

"Full!"

Wei Jinfang was already in her early fifties, but she looked no more than thirty. She exuded an air of wealth and well-maintained elegance. When she saw Gu Lanxi from afar, she broke into a big smile, looking extremely friendly!

Seeing her reach out, Gu Lanxi immediately went to meet her and hugged her tightly.

"Second Aunt, it's been a long time! How was the birthday banquet? Was it lively?"

Sometimes, that's how it is among adults; when they put on an act, they go all the way and treat it as real, whether it's an excuse or not.

For example, even though Gu Lanxi knew that she had complained about the food in England the day before yesterday, she still asked about things related to the birthday banquet today after coming all the way from Datong.

Children without mothers mature early, let alone someone as precocious as her.

She had long ago learned many of the unspoken rules that adults are accustomed to.

Wei Jinfang never gave anyone cause for criticism, so she immediately took out her phone and showed her a family group photo:

"It was so lively! I saw so many relatives I hadn't seen in a long time. It's a pity Yongxin wasn't home. Look at the photos, there are so many of our family members, one photo almost couldn't fit them all."

The Wei family has deep roots in Datong, so it's normal for them to have a large population.

Gu Lanxi didn't ask too many questions.

Seeing a woman pushing a suitcase following behind her, Gu Lanxi let go of her and then shook hands with the woman:
"Sister Wen, it's been a long time!"

However, it was Xu Jingwen, Wei Jinfang's personal assistant, who had been by her side for many years and whom Gu Lanxi had known since childhood.

Because she had been contacted before boarding and knew that she would be picking her up by car, Wei Jinfang did not arrange any other transportation.

After picking up the person, Gu Lanxi didn't chat for long and took Wei Jinfang's arm as they walked out.

Xu Jingwen followed quietly behind, pushing her suitcase, seemingly unnoticed.

Before she had gone far, Gu Lanxi was stopped by someone.

"Gu Lanxi!"

Gu Lanxi heard someone call her name in a confident tone. Even though it sounded unfamiliar, she stopped and looked in the direction the voice came from.

He Xiaoguo was so excited that she jumped up and down a few times before running to her.

Gu Lanxi is just like an ordinary person. She goes out whenever she wants and doesn't care about being an idol. If she is recognized, she will tell people that they have mistaken her for someone else. She is not in a hurry and will only stay to talk to people when there are not many people around.

She needed to rush to work to complete the house transfer, and Lu Nanting was still waiting in the car. In the middle of a busy airport, she wanted to use the same trick again, but He Xiaoguo had already taken out a notebook and pen and excitedly jumped in front of her.

"Xi Bao! Wow! It really is you! Oh my god! I'm so excited! Can I have your autograph?"

It has to be said that as a long-time fan of celebrities, He Xiaoguo knows a lot of tricks.

For example, when she was called by name directly instead of asked, Gu Lanxi only turned around reflexively and knew she hadn't mistaken the person. The autograph book she prepared was also a small, colorful notebook, not a blank sheet of paper, in case the celebrity refused her request due to legal risks.

Because I've been playing Sherlock Holmes online lately, searching for my sister-in-law, when I saw Gu Lanxi, she deliberately flipped to the page that Lu Nanting had signed when she handed over the autograph book.

Gu Lanxi took the notebook and saw a large, colorful, and colorful mess. She knew this was a way for artists to protect themselves from risks, so she didn't bother to find out which colleague's signature it was. She glanced at the "To He Xiaoguo:" above the signature, and followed suit. After turning the page, she also wrote "To" before handing the notebook back.

Seeing that she showed no reaction upon seeing Lu Nanting's signature, He Xiaoguo was quite disappointed. On impulse, she took the initiative to speak to her:

"Hehe, this is a signature that my older brother signed for me when I had my birthday last month."

I initially thought it was one of my own fans, but it turned out to be a fan of another group.

Although there are countless fans in the industry who support several artists at the same time, the friendship is not so pure after all.

Gu Lanxi, being well-mannered and in a hurry to leave, didn't want to talk to her much. She handed her the pen clipped to her notebook and immediately waved her hand with a smile.

"Thank you for your kind words. There are still people waiting for me, so I'll be going now. Goodbye!"

He Xiaoguo was bombarded with calls from her mother early in the morning. She had to come to the airport to pick someone up while still rubbing her sleepy eyes. She had washed her face with a washcloth in the car and didn't have time to put on makeup.

Gu Lanxi was in the prime of her youth, naturally beautiful, with good lifestyle habits and a regular exercise routine. He Xiaoguo didn't have the courage to ask for a photo together, so she could only wave goodbye.

She had just mentioned Lu Nanting to test the relationship between Gu Lanxi and him, but Gu Lanxi didn't give her a chance to do so.

But that's not bad.

In fact, while waiting for someone, she stood next to Gu Lanxi and heard Wei Jinfang call her by her nickname.

But she held back until the crowd dispersed before chasing after her for an autograph. Besides wanting to be alone with her, she was also worried that she would be mobbed because of her.

It has to be said that He Xiaoguo is a very well-mannered fan.

It's common for celebrities to be recognized by passersby. Generally, people are quite polite, saying hello, asking for an autograph, or taking a photo, and then leaving quickly without causing excessive disturbance.

Gu Lanxi was very experienced. She smiled and said goodbye to He Xiaoguo, then calmly led her second aunt to the parking lot.

With Gu Lanxi's prior warning, Wei Jinfang was not surprised at all to see Lu Nanting. On the contrary, Xu Jingwen was slightly surprised to see that there was someone else in the car as soon as she got in, but she didn't say anything, as if there was a zipper on her mouth.

There's a reason why my second aunt relies on her so much.

"Hello, Second Aunt!"

The car was too cramped for Lu Nanting to even bend over, so he had to stay seated.

Wei Jinfang was just an aunt from a different branch of the family. She knew that Gu Lanxi was always very opinionated. When she received a phone call earlier, she learned that Gu Lanxi had gotten married in a flash and wanted both of her names on the house deed. She only offered a few subtle words of advice, and when she saw that Gu Lanxi didn't like it, she never said anything more offensive.

When he saw Lu Nanting, who was very polite, he naturally didn't put on a stern face.

Gu Lanxi helped Xu Jingwen put her luggage in the back, closed the trunk, and returned to the driver's seat. Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly awkward after their pleasantries, she quickly fastened her seatbelt while bringing up the matter of fans blocking the road:
"I just met a fan who wanted an autograph, and you wouldn't believe it, the person's surname is He!"

Lu Nanting breathed a sigh of relief after his wife came to his rescue.

This second aunt seemed warm and generous, but as soon as she got on the bus, she secretly sized him up. It looked like she wanted to put him on a scale and weigh him to see how much he weighed.

That kind of attitude was twice as much as Gu Jiayi's!
This made him feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.

"So what? I have fans with the surnames Mu and Hei. It's not that rare to have the surname He, is it? I have a die-hard fan with that surname. She followed my schedule a lot when I first debuted. I still remember her."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Gu Lanxi started the car, confirmed with her second aunt that all the documents were complete, and then drove straight to the real estate transaction center.
