Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Just a Stand-In Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Just a Stand-In Xia Weibao was montarily startled before she turned her head and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind her.
“Senior Guo.”
Xia Weibao greeted him with a smile.
Guo Junhui could be described as an old-generation artist in the entertainnt industry.
He specialized in Republic of China era dramas and war movies.
With good acting skills and real talent, he was respected by everyone in the industry as a senior.
This ti, he was to play the main villain, the greatest enemy of Yuan Zhinan.
Another warlord commander.
However…
“Senior Guo, what did you an by what you just said?”
She and Bai He really looked alike, could it be that he had seen Bai He?
Guo Junhui’s smile was kind and gentle, resembling a grandfather’s.
“Just what it sounded like, Wan Ke has good taste, actually choosing you to play the role of Bai He.
I have seen your previous works, keep it up.”
Xia Weibao beca even more puzzled, “Senior Guo, have you t Bai He?”
Guo Junhui chuckled, “Although I’m not young, Bai He belonged to my grandfather’s generation, I’m still too green for that.”
His words, imbued with humor, easily narrowed the distance between them.
The atmosphere relaxed quite a bit.
Xia Weibao recalled Guo Junhui’s background in her mind and suddenly rembered that he was from a military family lineage!
Could it be…
Xia Weibao’s heartbeat suddenly quickened by two beats, “Senior Guo, do you know Bai He?”
“I don’t know her, but my grandfather did; at the ti, he was a soldier under Marshal Yuan.”
Xia Weibao suddenly felt excited.
She clenched her fists to keep from showing her excitent.
“Senior Guo, what kind of person was Bai He? I would like to understand a bit, so I can better imrse myself in the role.”
Guo Junhui organized his thoughts. At his current status, he no longer needed to compete for fa and fortune.
Lending a hand to the younger generation was sothing he was more than happy to do.
“Bai He, she must have been the happiest woman in the Republic of China era, but also the most unfortunate.
She was Chinese, yet she was taken away by the Island Country when she was young and trained to be a spy before returning to her holand.
It just so happened that she t Marshal Yuan.
Marshal Yuan fell in love with her at first sight and then brought her ho, bought her a luxurious villa, gave her the best of everything.
Everyone thought they would marry, but sohow, for reasons unknown, the marshal killed her.
It was only at her death that the others realized she was rely a body double.”
“A body double?”
Xia Weibao’s breathing beca a bit rapid, her head was throbbing, completely unable to think.
A body double…
Guo Junhui continued, “Yes, a body double, the double for the Marshal’s wife.
After Marshal Yuan killed Bai He, he ordered his n to find soone who looked very much like Bai He.
It was also at that ti that people realized the Marshal had a wife, only that she had gone missing.
Unfortunately, in the end, they never found her, and he died alone, sigh.”
For so reason, upon hearing this, Xia Weibao’s nose suddenly felt sour.
She almost shed tears.
“So Yuan Zhinan was married, then why does history say he never married?”
“Outsiders didn’t know he was married; it just so happened that my grandfather was in charge of the mission to find the Marshal’s wife, so my family knows a bit about it.
And whether they were truly married or if he regarded her as his wife, who knows.
Anyway, my grandfather followed him around, and he never saw a woman beside him, except for Bai He.
According to my grandfather, at that ti Bai He’s popularity was unmatched, and Marshal Yuan pampered her like anything.
But in the end, she still died, and even more tragically, she died at the hands of the Marshal.
It’s also a pity for Marshal Yuan, a man of great prowess who in the end was always alone.”
