Devil CEO and His Star Wife - C179
As Zuo Shaojie looked at Lan Xin who was sitting opposite to him, he knew that today’s meal was cooked up by his father for the sake of pairing the two of them. With a face full of smiles, Lan Xin desperately placed the dish into the old writer’s bowl, “Dad, you like this dish the most, you should eat more.”
“Young Jie, look at how virtuous Lan Xin is. He will definitely be a good wife in the future.” The Old Man of the Zuo family laughed as he looked at Lan Xin, his face full of love. Zuo Shaojie did not say anything, he was just quietly eating his food, he hoped that after Lan Xin leaves, he would be able to talk to his father alone, speaking of such things in front of Lan Xin, was not good.
Lan Xin looked at the expressionless Zuo Shaojie, “Eat this dish, it’s your favorite.”
“Thank you.” Zuo Shaojie said politely, but there was no smile on his face from the beginning to end, or more accurately speaking, it was an expression without meaning, and his tone of voice had no meaning to it either. The Zuo family’s old patriarch looked at the cold Zuo Shaojie and frowned slightly.
After dinner, Zuo Shaojie stood outside the door as he sent Lan Xin off. He didn’t know how to tell his father about this.
“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about? When we were eating, you already had a worried look on your face. What is it? Tell me.” It was unknown when Zuo Shaojie’s father had appeared behind him.
Zuo Shaojie slightly hesitated for a moment, then said nervously, “Father, I’ve always liked Lin Sirou.”
“I know.” Zuo Shaojie looked at his father in shock, why would he answer in such a way? Could it be that he had sent people to investigate him, Zuo Shaojie’s father continued, “Isn’t there still Lan Xin?”
Zuo Shaojie’s heart fiercely clenched as he said in a low voice, “What I like is someone else …”
“What do you mean?” Zuo Shaojie’s father wasn’t locked away, he looked at Zuo Shaojie’s serious expression. Looks like he really does have someone he likes, “Are you still thinking about annulling the marriage with Lan Xin?”
Zuo Shaojie nodded, but his father’s face immediately became extremely ugly. Lan Xin was the only and the most ideal daughter-in-law in his heart, and he resolutely said, “Impossible, no one has the qualifications to be the daughter-in-law of our Zuo family. Only Lan Xin can do that, there is no room for negotiation! I will definitely not allow the Lin Sirou you are talking about! ”
Zuo Shaojie was in a bad mood so he called Lin Sirou in hopes that he could hear her voice. Lin Sirou happened to be near their home, so the two made arrangements to meet at the coffee shop. After Luo Xiaotang found out about this, he tactfully left.
“The coffee here is good.”
When Zuo Shaojie saw that Lin Sirou was thinking of his father and Lan Xin, he was extremely depressed, and his expression did not look too good.
Lin Sirou was furious at Zuo Shaojie who did not care about anything, and bellowed: “What do you mean, calling me here and doing it again? For your short message, a gap has been created between Ji Chenxi and me, and I am also muddled by it. But as for you, it’s fine if you don’t want to say it, but don’t you think it’s boring to stay here and act like you don’t care!? ” Lin Sirou had already completely vented all of the emotions in his heart without restraint.
Zuo Shaojie looked at the woman who was angry at him, and his heart was filled with rage. In order to get the recognition of his father as soon as possible, in order to let Lin Sirou feel at ease, he had not slept at all, but now, she was completely heartless and angry at him, and it was even without reason. In other words, he was not a “dog biting a lion”. Zuo Shaojie roared angrily at Lin Sirou: Get it straight, I haven’t had a good time these past few days. Just like you said, my text message has made you dizzy, I’m feeling even more anxious and nervous, you know! “Also, you’re not the only good person in the world, don’t act as if you’ve suffered a huge loss. We’re not doing it as if nothing has happened, ok!”
Lin Sirou’s words made his mood turn even worse, and she said even more loudly: “Suffer? Let me tell you, even if you’re the only man in the world, I won’t consider you! “Also, I know that I am not the only good person in the world. Of course, I thank you for admitting that I am a good person, but unfortunately, in my heart, you are not a good person!” Lin Sirou’s loud voice attracted the attention of the waiter, and the secretary politely walked in.
“Sorry, I’m not in a good mood right now. You should leave first.” Zuo Shaojie forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, and lightly waved his hand at Lin Sirou.
When Lin Sirou thought about how he had abandoned Luo Xiaotang and ran over, not only did he gain nothing, he also caused himself a belly full of fire, and felt extremely uncomfortable. She angrily said to him, “You are not the only person in the world who is in a bad mood. We are all people, and I am not your secretary. Don’t shake your hand at me. I just realized that you are a very unappetizing person! ”
Hearing Lin Sirou’s words, the attendant slightly frowned, and then politely said. “Miss, after a while, Mister Zuo will settle the bill, so …”
“Got it, got it, isn’t it just money? What’s there to be cocky about? I have money too, okay!” Lin Sirou angrily walked out.
After she left, Zuo Shaojie angrily threw the information in his hands out. The reason he had to work so overtime was just to get his father to recognize her sooner and to let Lin Sirou be at ease, but that crazy girl had already gone crazy for him. Zuo Shaojie’s cheeks were bulging with anger. The waiter looked at Zuo Shaojie and said: “Do you still need coffee?”
“No need, you can go.” Zuo Shaojie sat down powerlessly. The argument just now had left him completely exhausted. He needed to calm down.
Cheng Feng paced back and forth in the office. He recalled every single detail on Luo Xiaotang. He wasn’t sure if he liked that woman, he had thought that he would like a woman like Xu Meiqi, but right now, he was completely interested in a completely different kind of woman. Although he himself would have such thoughts at times, but facing Luo Xiaotang, he still felt endless love.
As Lin Sirou sat on the carriage, he was still angry. If Zuo Shaojie had not helped him before, he would have rushed over to beat him up. She was so angry that she was cursing Zuo Shaojie fiercely in her heart. Just as she was feeling annoyed, she suddenly saw Xu Meiqi eating with the famous Li Peng in a restaurant from the corner of her eyes. She turned to look at them curiously. She had heard before that this director Li Peng was a pervert who often had relationships with female celebrities in the industry. However, with Xu Meiqi’s current status, he shouldn’t look like that.
Xu Meiqi used a soul-stirring gaze to look at the multi-faced Director Li. This was her only chance to rise to the next level in her acting career, and she would definitely not let it go.
“Director Li, I heard that you’ve been planning a movie recently. This movie will have a lot of influence and attention.” Xu Meiqi’s voice was gentle and charming.
Li Peng slightly smiled and said, “I strive to achieve the best in every movie. Of course, there will be good results.” He spoke with a very confident tone, without a trace of hesitation or hesitation, “Every main character of every movie is carefully chosen, every detail is carefully chosen. The film produced is of course the best of the best.”
“Yeah, yeah, that Director Li …” Xu Meiqi’s feet gradually moved to Director Li’s calves. She slowly rubbed against it and weakly whispered, “Then do you think I’m a top quality product?”
Director Li knew that Xu Meiqi was trying to test himself, and he slowly said: “About that, you have to ask yourself. You’re so beautiful, if you want to turn into a fine product, no one can stop you.”
Xu Meiqi understood the meaning behind Li Wen Li’s words, it seemed that he could achieve what he had set out to do, he just needed to pay a bit. She had also done this before. After a slight frown, she immediately welcomed him with a smile, “Director Li, of course I want to be a fine product.”
Their smiles exploded in each other’s hearts.
As he softly read the name that made his heart hurt, layers upon layers of waves of emotions surged in his heart. Those scenes of the past appeared in front of him like a movie clip, but he still hesitated for a moment before he went on the phone and the silence returned.
Zuo Shaojie did not continue to be stunned, it was not his style to do so. He got up neatly, under the surprised gaze of the secretary, Zuo Shaojie carried his suit and walked out, but just as he was about to leave the office, the secretary seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stopped him.
“CEO, there’s an important meeting this afternoon and also a negotiation program with a company.”
The secretary quickly went through all the work arrangements in his mind as he replied without the slightest hesitation.
“Oh, let’s push everything to tomorrow.”
Zuo Shaojie paused for a moment before walking out without turning his head back. The secretary stared blankly at the tall and big figure that had disappeared, and mumbled an answer.
It was already very late when they received the message from Ji Chenxi. They had agreed to meet in a restaurant, but what was different from the previous few times, Zuo Shaojie had gone to see him alone, and this time, it was actually with Lin Sirou. However, the two of them ended up arguing in an exceptionally awkward manner. Because of the special circumstances, he and Lin Sirou were at loggerheads, and Ji Chenxi was a bit of a mystery after he recovered his memories. Earlier, the message had asked him about the business.
“Hello.” Ji Chenxi looked at Zuo Shaojie who had appeared in shock. Lin Sirou knew that he had misunderstood Lin Sirou, and smiled embarrassedly at Lin Sirou.
Lin Sirou did not explain anything and just smiled stiffly: “Zuo Shaojie, I called him over. He can help you.”
Ji Chenxi was slightly stunned, he did not know what the meaning of doing this was.
“You need to find the business opportunity yourself.” Zuo Shaojie went straight to the point. His expression was kind, without a trace of arrogance.
Yes, Lin Sirou felt that Ji Chenxi needed to give him a business opportunity. Ji Chenxi had put it bluntly because she had failed to accomplish anything. Once Ji Chenxi succeeded, she would return to Ji Chenxi’s side. It was not that Lin Sirou misunderstood Zuo Shaojie, but the current Zuo Shaojie was no longer as simple as Lin Sirou knew her.
“What kind of opportunity can you give me …” Ji Chenxi looked at Zuo Shaojie, his eyes unperturbed, like a quiet spring.
“Zuo Shaojie can give you a good customer. That way, you’ll have the chance to …”
“Forget it, I’m tired,” Ji Chenxi said as he suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Sirou and Zuo Shaojie. His slightly haggard face made Lin Sirou’s heart sink.
Zuo Shaojie nodded slightly towards Lin Sirou, who knew that he could understand Ji Chenxi’s feelings. Although Lin Sirou wanted to help Ji Chenxi, Lin Sirou had to consider Ji Chenxi’s feelings as well, otherwise, it would be the opposite. Lin Sirou sighed, “Then what are you going to do about it, do you plan to just let it go …?”
“I feel that letting go is the best way, but I am still grateful for your concern,” Ji Chenxi suddenly smiled towards them in relief, and said slowly. “I will be going to America in a while, there are a lot of my friends there, I want to challenge them.”
Lin Sirou and Zuo Shaojie looked at each other, both surprised and embarrassed by their mutual understanding. After Ji Chenxi left, for some reason, Lin Sirou felt that something in his heart had finally settled down. He could finally accept everything that it was, and accept the things that Lin Sirou had never dared to look at.
