Bai Ruanruan was so embarrassed by the scolding that she ate the whole meal in a very depressing manner.
After dinner, he snuggled close to his mother, Qin Jingzhu, with great affection, and said many sweet words to her, which made Qin Jingzhu hug him and kiss him several times.
When they were young, her husband was busy with work and she was busy with her career. The children at home were taken care of by nannies and maids. Since they didn't live together for long periods of time, the children weren't very affectionate towards him.
Now that she's older, she's begun to cherish the feeling of home again.
The precious child she finally found and brought home was the one who crawled out of her womb, and was definitely different from that ungrateful wretch.
Qin Jingzhu felt an instant connection with Bai Ruanruan the moment she saw him, and chatting with him was a pleasure. Ruanruan was kind-hearted and gentle, soothing her heart and giving her a long-lost feeling of maternal love and filial piety.
The two huddled together and whispered to each other for a long time. As night deepened, Bai Ruanruan lingered, clinging to Qin Jingzhu's arm and acting coquettishly.
"Mom, I really want you to sleep with me. I love chatting with you, but I'm all grown up now..."
Qin Jingzhu hugged him affectionately, "Silly child, there's a long road ahead, Mommy will always be with you."
upstairs.
After finishing his work, Qin Mubai pushed open the study door, his cold gaze piercing through the carved railings and landing downstairs.
Bai Ruanruan, who was clinging to her mother and acting coquettishly, seemed to sense something and looked up.
He doesn't like Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai is too fierce.
With striking features, prominent eyebrows, and a stern, old-fashioned appearance, she was unwilling to be his lapdog.
He deliberately flinched and hugged his mother.
"Mom, my older brother doesn't seem to like me very much..."
Qin Jingzhu followed his gaze and saw a dark shadow gradually disappearing around the corner.
"Sweetie, he's not targeting you. Mubai has been like this since he was little."
No, that's not it.
He had Bai Family for so long that he had seen how Qin Mubai treated that fake.
That's not how it is at all.
Qin Mubai is biased towards outsiders, treating them better than he treats himself. We must find an opportunity to expose his true colors.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and obediently nodded.
"I'll be good, and my older brother will like me in the future."
Back in his room, Bai Ruanruan flew into a rage, even kicking the little dog he used to build his persona. The dog yelped and ran away, shrinking into the corner of the bed.
He's been having a run of bad luck lately.
Xi Juan didn't fall in love with him at first sight, and his online popularity wasn't positive either; he was being attacked by so many people. Now, because of the chat logs Nan Qing released, he offended Gu Xingchen and almost lost his endorsement...
Bai Ruanruan was so angry she was about to go crazy.
But the next second, the phone buzzed twice.
Bai Ruanruan's gaze swept over, and the anger on her face instantly turned into smugness.
The Gu Family specifically invited me to their wine tasting event.
ha!
He knew that Huo Yuzhou was so infatuated with him that he would never want to see him suffer.
In just one afternoon, before he even had a chance to contact Huo Yuzhou, Huo Yuzhou thoughtfully and considerately contacted Gu Xingchen for him and formally invited him to the wine tasting.
Huo Yuzhou must have felt that the comments online hurt him, so he made Gu Xingchen apologize to him in person.
With so many celebrities gathering at the banquet, I'm sure I'll become the center of attention and the undisputed heartthrob.
This time, it's not just Huo Yuzhou's admiration; he also wants to win over the spokesperson for the Gu Family's new sub-brand, YIVIYA!
What makes that damned cannon fodder Nan Qing think he can compare to me?
"Did you see that, 087?"
Bai Ruanruan raised her chin, "I told you I'm the main character, you have no right to question me!"
The system's data blocks jumped twice, indicating, "You should be careful--"
"Be careful of what?"
Bai Ruanruan suddenly interrupted it, then started giggling.
"I must carefully control my charm, lest I let every man in the world fall in love with me?"
-
Nan Qing and Huo Yuzhou didn't have time to sleep in separate beds.
He had lived two lives and had never worked this hard before.
Last night, after class with the teacher, my head was buzzing, and I didn't even have the energy to wash up. I just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Huo Yuzhou slept soundly until dawn, and before he could even wake him up, Zhou Guangliang called.
Nan Qing went to eat with a long face, not even finishing his morning pomegranate juice, when Zhou Guangliang rushed in with his assistant to greet him.
"Let's go, let's go find a master!"
Huo Yuzhou helped Nan Qing into the car, and just as he patted his head and called him " Baby," Zhou Guangliang leaned over and pulled them apart.
"Oh, you two can talk about it in bed tonight. I'm off, I'm off!"
Nan Qing's ears burned, before she could even retort.
Zhou Guangliang slammed on the gas pedal, glanced in the rearview mirror, and let out a "hey."
"Look at our President Huo, standing there like he's sending his child to kindergarten, so reluctant to let him go, tsk tsk..."
" Qingqing, you should satisfy him tonight. He's always so unsatisfied, constantly bothering you, it's affecting our work."
"Look, she's practically standing there like a statue waiting for her husband!"
Nan Qing: "..."
The morning passed quickly; Nan Qing had spent most of the day in class.
It's probably because Huo Yuzhou spent enough money that a top-tier teacher in the entertainment industry gave him private lessons, and he also brought in classmates from the next class to act with him, almost like he was being taught step by step.
As they were leaving, the teacher hesitated several times before asking, "You've studied acting, Nan Qing?"
Nan Qing shook her head seriously, "No."
I've never learned this in my life.
The teacher, with amazement in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder.
"Come earlier next time, and I'll give you an extra lesson for free!"
Nan Qing stumbled, but Zhou Guangliang burst into laughter.
"Oh, I told you long ago, Old Liu! I, Zhou Guangliang, have a sharp eye; my Nan Qing is bound to become a sensation sooner or later!"
The two of them went back and forth, praising him to the skies.
With a huge cloud of thoughts running through her head, Nan Qing managed to meet with the editor-in-chief of Esquire China during her lunch break.
Zhou Guangliang was very familiar with the other party, so Nan Qing Nan Qing didn't even need to speak or offer a toast. The two heads were close together, and they finished talking in no time.
After working for most of the day, Nan Qing thought she could finally rest.
But Zhou Guangliang was like a clockwork toy; he called Lawyer Guo, along with bodyguards, Nan Qing on his left, and his assistant on his right, and went to Huading Entertainment with murderous intent.
He used veiled insults, bullied others by abusing his power, spoke sarcastically and arrogantly, and abused his seniority, giving Nan Qing's former agent Zheng Ming, a thorough dressing-down.
Zheng Ming didn't dare to utter a word, just kept saying "yes, yes, yes," and then watched as Zhou Guangliang waved his hand and arranged for Nan Qing to terminate some of the previously agreed-upon cooperation agreements.
For example, there's the sleazy, greasy womanizer who only shows two sides, or the street thug who betrays his boss and gets beaten up, and some endorsements like " Wangzai," " Blue Moon Shell," " Zhizhi Sunflower Seeds," and " Nutrition Straight Line."
Nan Qing was completely dumbfounded.
He had no idea when Zheng Ming had taken on these endorsements that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.
As dusk fell, the city lights began to twinkle.
With less than two hours to go before the 9 p. m. fashion gala, Nan Qing, now dressed in a suit, got into the car.
The phone buzzed twice, and his assistant answered the call for him.
Xi Juan's languid voice drifted over, the end of his tone tinged with a smile.
" Eldest Miss, what color will you wear tonight?"
