After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1327 - 1326: Luring the Tiger from the Mountain

Xia Chuyi's deduction was entirely based on Guo Jiumin's prior statements.

Whether the director would achieve cinematic immortality, or if the film would be celebrated for ages, perhaps even becoming a timeless classic, these were indeed the highest accolades for any movie and its creator.

Among these, the concept of 'becoming a classic' held the most weight.

Undeniably, the film was enjoying immense popularity at the moment.

Yet, many films achieve fleeting fame upon release, but only a select few manage to transcend time and become true classics.

After all, the filmmaking techniques and perspectives of different eras can often seem dated to future audiences.

However, the director of this particular film had managed to craft a rare gem that would likely remain engaging for viewers far into the future.

Consequently, upon hearing Guo Jiumin's assessment, Xia Chuyi's internal alarm bells began to ring louder than ever.

A single instance might be dismissed as chance, a second perhaps a coincidence, but when such patterns emerged multiple times, suspicion naturally arose.

There was definitely something amiss with this Guo Jiumin!

A growing sense of calm settled over Xia Chuyi.

Meanwhile, the director, standing nearby, remained oblivious to the underlying currents, believing Guo Jiumin was simply offering effusive praise for his movie.

Receiving such glowing remarks from Guo Jiumin, the director felt an unexpected surge of flattery and responded, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for holding my film in such high regard. I truly appreciate it!"

A genuine warmth colored his words.

After all, everything Guo Jiumin had said sounded remarkably sincere.

Nodding in response, Guo Jiumin offered a smile and said, "There's no need for thanks, Director; your film is truly worthy of such high praise."

Although addressing the director, Guo Jiumin's gaze was subtly fixed on Xia Chuyi as he spoke.

Xia Chuyi's eyes flickered at this pointed observation.

Guo Jiumin knows something... The confirmation solidified in Xia Chuyi's mind.

But were his words intentionally aimed at Xia Chuyi?

If there was intent behind his words, then what could Guo Jiumin's true motive be?

Xia Chuyi couldn't quite grasp the crucial details, Pondering for a brief moment, she finally said, "Mr. Guo, thank you for your assistance today."

"I've been out for a considerable time now," Xia Chuyi continued, "and I still need to attend to the children at home, so I shall take my leave."

A pressing need to return and investigate this matter consumed Xia Chuyi.

Fortunately, Guo Jiumin did not attempt to detain her, merely offering a smile and inquiring, "Oh? Young Madam Huo is departing?"

"It's a genuine shame we couldn't converse further with Young Madam Huo," Guo Jiumin expressed with a hint of regret. "Perhaps another time we can discuss other matters."

"I believe that once Young Madam Huo opens her heart," Guo Jiumin added meaningfully, his eyes glinting, "we will certainly have a most enjoyable conversation with both you and Mr. Huo."

Each statement from Guo Jiumin served to further bolster Xia Chuyi's burgeoning suspicions.

However, displaying such thoughts was out of the question for Xia Chuyi, so she casually brushed it aside,
