“Dad, I’ve already forgotten everything from the past. You should let go of it and not hold it against me!” Lu Youze said with a smile, carrying a hint of flattery.

Lu Lihai just looked at him, not saying a word.

Lu Youze put away his smile and looked at Lu Lihai seriously: “Dad, I think only when you forget everything, can you truly see who is really good to you.”

Lu Lihai’s gaze became even sharper than before, as if trying to see through all of Lu Youze’s pretenses: “Since you’ve forgotten, then why bother with these matters? Don’t think I don’t know that you secretly had Old Lu and the second son of the Gu family investigate something.”

While speaking, Lu Lihai glanced at Lu Youze’s stomach, and his gaze softened slightly: “During this time, just stay at home and rest well. After the baby is born, you can go back to work. I’ll leave the position of CEO of Lu Corporation for you.”

Lu Youze knew that many things couldn’t escape Lu Lihai’s eyes, so he didn’t try to make other excuses. Instead, he said sincerely: “It’s a bit strange, but even though I’ve lost my memory, when I watch the movies and TV shows I used to act in, I realize that, compared to being a CEO, I still want to be an actor. Dad, I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but my intuition tells me I couldn’t have ‘cheated.’ I’m sure I was framed. That’s why I had Old Lu investigate this, although there’s no evidence yet. But I don’t want this to affect my work. I really like this job, and it’s something I’ve always remembered and will continue to pursue even after losing my memory. Also, the eldest son of the Lu family can’t just let people bully him without fighting back, right? That would be embarrassing for you.”

“Hmph, the way you’re so devoted to that Yu Li,” Lu Lihai couldn’t control his anger when he mentioned Yu Li, “How could you have actively cheated! At least you’re not stupid enough to see that you’ve been set up.”

Lu Lihai glanced again at the documents on the table in front of Lu Youze, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips: “However, I do like what you said just now! I got it. I’ll handle it.”

“Dad, thank you.”

Since the old man promised to handle it, Lu Youze naturally felt at ease. Not only could he win back some loyal fans, but it would also serve as a warning to those who thought he was down and out, reminding them not to go too far, as he still had the Lu family backing him up.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Lu Youze returned to his room.

He had arranged to meet with Gu Xuanze at 3:00 PM, and since there was a long time before the meeting, Lu Youze decided to first look at the script that Gu Xuanhao had just sent him—the new drama that the Gu family was preparing to shoot. Although he didn’t have the right to pick scripts at the moment, as an actor, he still hoped to have a good one. Moreover, the Gu family’s productions should be top-notch.

As a well-established entertainment company, the Gu family occupied half of the entertainment industry. It was no exaggeration to say that in this field, no one was their competitor. The TV shows, movies, and variety shows they produced had all created viewing and box-office records. Most of the influential figures and popular stars in the entertainment industry were signed to their company.

In addition, the Gu family had a complete industrial chain and often collaborated with TV stations to scout new talents. They had enough resources to promote promising newcomers.

Therefore, a saying circulated in the entertainment world: “Gu family productions are always high-quality.”

The Gu family had the ability to work wonders, and as long as they were willing, they could turn even the most obscure artist into a star.

Naturally, Lu Youze wasn’t going to pass up this opportunity. He printed the script and sat in the lounge chair on the balcony, seriously going through it. The weather was nice today, the sun had slowly risen, and the soft sunlight shone on the balcony, making it very comfortable, just like his current mood.

He had almost finished reading the script, and it was a good one. With his years of acting experience, he could tell that if they put their heart into filming it, the drama would definitely be a hit.

Does good things really happen after extreme bad luck? Perhaps the Gu family is the benefactor who could help him turn things around. He might really be able to make a comeback with this drama.

Moreover, he believed that after the old man started working on public relations, although things couldn’t change immediately, his reputation should improve somewhat in the short term.

At this moment, if he could have a good project, these negative news wouldn’t be a problem.

After all, in the end, an actor’s worth is determined by their work.
