Chapter 257: Chapter 258 "Little Bridge" Full of Misfortunes

```

The subject matter of this type of film is heavy, and if we were to delve into it and shoot it meticulously, there would undoubtedly be many shots that wouldn’t pass censorship. To allow the story to be expressed more fully without cutting out this particular scene, the directors really didn’t want to part with it.

The directors gathered and discussed for several days before they thought of this method, which appeared a bit deceptive, but at least it ensured the scene would not be cut out by the censorship authorities.

After He Jinxia finished filming, she happily signed autographs and took photos with a couple of extras~

However, perhaps even the heavens couldn’t bear to see He Jinxia’s smooth sailing. When she returned to the hotel, Cheng Xiaohua saw a piece of news on Weibo. Her eyes widened, and she quickly showed it to He Jinxia.

"Jinxia, there’s trouble. ’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’ has run into another issue!"

He Jinxia had just finished bathing and rushed to open the door upon hearing the urgent doorbell, only to be greeted with this piece of news.

Her eyelids twitched as she took Sister Xiao Hua’s phone and saw that it was a scandal involving Gu Runfei and Luo Sifang. She breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn’t news about ’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’ changing its premiere date, but...

He Jinxia shook her head, thinking that an actor from their crew being involved in a scandal could also greatly affect the reputation of the show.

"During filming, it was obvious that Luo Sifang was no simple character. To have someone invest in a film and secure a leading role for herself is a skill in itself," she said.

Cheng Xiaohua clicked her tongue and shook her head, "Such a person is just unscrupulous. Initially, she covered her tracks well in the crew; everyone spoke highly of her and she seemed to get along with the other actors. It’s only when Yang Xiaoqing arrived that a bit of it came to light."

Seemingly reminded of something, Cheng Xiaohua added, "That’s right, if she could seduce an investor into funding her, surely she could do the same with others. I just didn’t expect her target to be Gu Runfei, especially since he already had a girlfriend."

The scandal that blew up on Weibo was not about anything else, but pictures of Luo Sifang and Gu Runfei walking hand in hand in public, their faces clearly captured so that they couldn’t deny it.

The whole internet was now abuzz with the topic, labeling Gu Runfei as a "role model for scumbags." With his official girlfriend still around, at the end of last year, it was revealed that internet celebrity Lili had an abortion for him, and now midway through this year, he was caught going on a trip with Luo Sifang—what else could he be if not a scumbag?

He Jinxia recalled the dinner parties she had attended with the crew where Luo Sifang was very gregarious, relaxing easily, and drinking without any hesitation, liberally, which made it easy for her to blend in with the men.

Although Luo Sifang had been quite proactive back then, she hadn’t seen Gu Runfei showing any particular affection toward her. Everyone was busy eating and drinking, perhaps the two had interacted in secret and she hadn’t noticed.

Suddenly, she remembered overhearing a conversation when she stepped out to pay the bill, and she couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.

"Gu Runfei has a difficult temperament and is somewhat temperamental, adverse to being controlled. They have probably been dating more than just once, being exposed now seems too coincidental," she pondered.

A deliberate approach by one and an indifferent allowance by the other; a tiny spark is all it takes to ignite a raging fire.

While still filming with the crew, both of them probably already had mutual intentions.

Cheng Xiaohua felt a chill in her heart and said gravely, "Do you mean this was deliberately leaked by someone? Why would they do that?"

He Jinxia reflected for a moment and repeated an old saying, "I don’t believe in such coincidences in the world."

These two were the main actors of ’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’. The leak happening right before the drama’s premiere would most significantly affect ’Small Bridge’. As for why, there could be many reasons, but it all comes down to competition within the industry.

It could be competition between dramas or between actors, possibly these two actors offended some individuals within the industry, and now the exposure served to ruin their reputation and career at the opportune time.

He Jinxia sighed lightly, "Director Gu was very dedicated and responsible while filming ’Small Bridge’, what a pity..."

"Two rat droppings spoiled the whole pot of porridge, and even if you pluck the droppings out, it’s too late."

Thinking of this, she said with some worry, "I just don’t know if it will affect the TV drama production. It would be so wrong if it got pulled because of the actors."

Cheng Xiaohua was also concerned and felt that luck had been against her lately, with so many twists and turns in releasing a TV drama, like riding a roller coaster, soaring to the peak only to plummet unexpectedly.

"No time to lose, call Brother Luo now and see what he says. I’ll help wherever I can and hope the drama can be broadcast smoothly."

Cheng Xiaohua nodded and quickly phoned Luo You while He Jinxia took the opportunity to browse the news and check the public opinion.

"I always said Gu Runfei looks like a sleazebag, poor my goddess, guarding him all this time only to be cheated on in the end!"

"The guy isn’t married, the girl isn’t wed; it’s just dating, merely walking hand in hand in public. If you’ve got the guts, show the bed photos, making a mountain out of a molehill. Such trivial stuff making it to trending—do you people have nothing better to do?"

"Yo, just cheating? Just? One step beyond cheating is catching them in the act, ever heard of that?"

"Forget it, Gu Runfei’s image is completely shattered. What happened to the deep affection he showed last year? Think back to him crying on the reality show for his girlfriend, ugh, disgusting!"

"The epitome of scumbag men, I just ask you, is it okay to look for a new flame after breaking up! No! The official girlfriend is still there, constantly being cuckolded, you Bastard Gu!"

...

The term "Bastard Gu" became a buzzword on the internet, trending for two whole months as a synonym for the ultimate scumbag man, often thrown out in arguments with "You’re even worse than Bastard Gu."

"...tell Jinxia not to post anything rashly on Weibo. I’ve just been in contact with Gu Qiao, and she says we shouldn’t do anything, leaving everything to her to handle. When she needs our help, she’ll let us know."

From the cell phone, Luo You’s deep voice came through the speaker slowly, audible to both Cheng Xiaohua and He Jinxia.

He Jinxia: "Don’t worry, I won’t post any messages."

"I’m heading over to you now, haven’t had dinner yet. Go to a nearby restaurant and get a private room. I’ll go straight to eat when I arrive, just consider it a late-night snack," Luo You said.

He Jinxia was stunned, "Brother Luo, you’re coming over now?"

She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already eight in the evening.

Luo You didn’t want to divulge too much and said vaguely, "There are some things I need to tell you, just remember to book the room, that’s all. I’ll call you when I arrive."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up, leaving He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua to exchange glances.

Cheng Xiaohua was puzzled, "What is Brother Luo rushing over for? Could it be because of Gu Runfei’s issue?"

He Jinxia’s eyebrows lightly furrowed as she shook her head, "I don’t know, he said not to act rashly for the time being, just to wait for news. There’s no need for him to come over in person to oversee, is there?"

"Ah, what if he’s received a great script and is so eager that he brought it to show you!" Cheng Xiaohua suddenly said excitedly.

He Jinxia blinked and smiled in agreement on her face, but she felt that it couldn’t be that simple.
