Chapter 101 Brother Chu recognized the wrong person

"You don't have to be like this. Go back."

Rongzhen saw that he was holding an umbrella but his body was wet, so she urged him to go home quickly.

This is not care, but a disguised rejection.

Chu Xicheng understood what she meant, and the shining light in his eyes went out again.

He stared at Rongzhen intently, but Rongzhen avoided looking at him.

Silence spread between the two of them, with only the sound of the rain echoing in their ears.

After a moment, Rong Zhen broke the silence and sighed, urging him, "Go back. Don't do this again."

Chu Xicheng didn't move, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why? I want a real answer."

Don't say you don't like him or that it's not suitable. He can understand whether she has feelings for him or not. They are both unmarried and both have no emotional connection. There is nothing inappropriate about it. Why does she refuse to accept him?

He didn't know what the problem was, so he had no idea how to change it. He could only do what she said, but it didn't work.

"Tell me, I'll leave right away and never bother you again."

Of course that's impossible.

Chu Xicheng just wanted to retreat in order to advance, and use this opportunity to figure out where to put his strength next. Giving up is absolutely impossible for him.

Rongzhen didn't know what he was planning. She really thought that the hero of the story would keep his word and keep his promise. So after thinking for a moment, she asked him, "Have you ever read a romance novel like the one where I'm the movie star's favorite, the top star's favorite?"

Chu Xicheng studied professionally when he was young and never secretly read romance books. His only rebellion after growing up was to enter the entertainment industry. He read the most scripts and related professional books, so he was not "poisoned" by fast food literature.

Unless it is a popular IP that has been transformed into film and television, it really cannot be presented to him.

But not having read it didn't mean he couldn't understand it. He immediately took out his mobile phone and searched for the two book titles that Rong Zhen mentioned. By reading the introduction and synopsis, he quickly figured out the routine of that type of book.

But what does this have to do with her not agreeing to be with him?

Rongzhen smiled bitterly, how could it not be related?

"If our lives were a romance novel, you would probably be an important character, destined to be married, while I would be just an insignificant passerby. Even if we were in love, we wouldn't be together in the end, because we're not meant to be together. Going against destiny will bring about divine punishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of thunder rumbled in the sky, lightning crackled down, illuminating the dark night sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Chu Xicheng was so shocked that he looked up at the sudden change in the sky above his head, then looked down at her.

Rongzhen put down the hands covering his ears, spread them out and said, "Did you see it?"

Look, she just revealed something tactfully, and the world consciousness came out to warn her. If you have the ability, you should take care of your son and tell him not to have any feelings for her.

Chu Xicheng's lips turned pale and he said, "I don't believe it, but I understand what you mean. I will abide by what I said before. Chu Xicheng will never appear in front of you again."

What appears before you is only...

Rongzhen didn't know his plan, so she felt relieved. "Thank you for your understanding. I'm so sorry."

"No need. It's me who has caused you trouble. I should be the one to say sorry." Chu Xicheng looked at her and said this, his eyes dim, as if he wanted to remember her and imprint her in his heart as a final farewell.

Finally, he said goodbye and turned away as she wished.

Rongzhen looked at his back as he walked into the night, and suddenly her heart felt like it was being grabbed by a big hand.

I clearly only had a little affection for him, and I clearly had controlled it, so why do I still feel so uncomfortable at this moment?

The next day, Rongzhen fell ill with a fever and a cold and couldn't get up. Sister Zhang and Xiaoyue naggled about sending her to the hospital for an IV drip, and also postponed the work that had been arranged earlier.

Sister Zhang was so busy with this that she only had time to visit Rongzhen at night to bring her a message.

"I heard that Actor Chu also fell ill after retiring. You and him are truly destined to be together. You fell ill at the same time."

"Don't say this again. The previous scandal has just been clarified, and the person has moved on. Let's not involve him again." After Rong Zhen gave the instructions, she couldn't help but pick up her phone to search for news about Chu Xicheng after Sister Zhang left.

She wanted to know what illness he had, whether he had caught a cold like her because he stood for too long on a rainy night.

Because he retired from the entertainment industry, entertainment media and paparazzi have been keeping an eye on him recently, so news about him is almost updated in real time on the Internet.

Rong Zhen searched for the latest news and found that it was just as he expected. He was sent to the fever clinic in the middle of the night and was photographed by the paparazzi who were waiting there and the news was leaked to the outside world.

A few days later, she recovered and was hurriedly pushed by Sister Zhang to go back to work.

After working non-stop for a week, when she finally had a break, she saw Xiaoyue holding her phone and looking at her cautiously, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Rongzhen took a sip of water and asked her curiously, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoyue handed over the phone and whispered, "Um, Sister Jiaojiao, check out the trending searches. Actor Chu is going abroad for further studies. He took a flight this morning. It seems he's planning to stay there and not come back."

Rongzhen choked and coughed as he took the phone, and sure enough, he saw the relevant report on the screen.

It was an entertainment reporter who caught Chu Xicheng at the airport and interviewed him.

In the video, he wore a mask and sunglasses to disguise himself, but he could still be recognized as it was him at a glance. However, compared to before, he now looked a little thinner and his face was a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Rongzhen finished watching the video unknowingly and looked up to meet Xiaoyue's curious and puzzled eyes.

Xiaoyue: "Sister Jiaojiao, I don't understand. Actor Chu obviously seems to like you very much, and you..." You are not indifferent, so why did it end up like this?

"Don't think about the past and focus on your work." Rong Zhen didn't answer. He patted her shoulder and turned to work, keeping himself busy so that he had no time to think about anything else.

Half a year later, Rong Zhen attended Director Qu's new film and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. After several rounds of competition, she finally won the award.

With her outstanding achievements, she finally opened up the market in the film and television industry and started her own rise.

At the celebration dinner, Director Qu introduced her to a friend who was preparing to shoot a new film and helped her get a chance to audition for the female lead.

Rongzhen was very grateful. Afterwards, she made careful preparations and arrived at the audition location on time on the appointed day.

Since the news had not yet spread, not many people got audition spots through internal connections. When Rongzhen arrived at the place, he only saw two or three people waiting there.

After looking at them, Sister Zhang quietly reported their identities and backgrounds to her. They were basically the first- and second-tier big and small stars in the circle, the top sisters and little princesses of their respective companies. None of them were simple, otherwise they would not be able to come here.

They were wary of Rong Zhen's arrival, but after learning about her specific situation, they relaxed and did not regard her as an opponent.

Rongzhen kept a distance from them and waited quietly for the audition call from the director team.

Five minutes later, the famous actress at the front of the line was called in. She stayed inside for a quarter of an hour and came out with a smile on her face. She seemed very satisfied with the audition result, which made the others feel nervous.

After Dahua left, the second person was called in for about ten minutes and came out just as happily, as if he had gotten what he wanted and gotten a great bargain.

This made the remaining people look at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Next came the new generation who was in front of Rongzhen. She came out less than five minutes after entering, with a sad face and red eyes. Before leaving, she glared at Rongzhen, who was the last person to audition.

Rongzhen felt confused. When she heard her name being called, she quickly put on her best self and walked in.

The atmosphere in the audition room was solemn. The directors alone filled a whole row of seats in the audience. Not only were there directors, screenwriters, producers, and others present, but also investors, sponsors, and other relevant personnel.

Rong Zhen politely didn't look at the person who was sitting next to the director in the middle of the front row when she entered. Her expression changed slightly.

Everyone present was sharp-eyed, especially the director, who deliberately asked to ease the atmosphere, "Why, you look like you know our President Chu?"

The others looked over. Rong Zhen took a deep breath to steady herself, then replied casually, "Of course. Who doesn't know Mr. Chu?"

Although we hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, the other person was wearing a black suit that he had never worn before, and he also wore a pair of glasses on his drooping face, but it was obvious at first glance that he was the same person.

Not wanting to hear her say that, everyone started laughing.

Rongzhen looked confused and puzzled, not knowing what she had said wrong and what they were laughing at.

Until Mr. Chu raised his head, rubbed his eyebrows, took off his glasses helplessly, and said to her: "Look again, am I him?"

When his entire face was revealed, his phoenix eyes, which were completely different from someone else's, came into Rong Zhen's sight, making her suddenly realize that this was not that person, but his older twin brother, Mr. Chu, who looked more like him.

Apart from their different eyes, he and Chu Xicheng also have slightly different eyebrows, mouth corners and other minor details. At first glance they look very similar, but upon closer inspection they are actually two completely different people.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. Hello, Mr. Chu!" Rong Zhen quickly admitted her mistake and greeted him.

Mr. Chu didn't mind and said, "It's okay. You are Xiao Er's friend, right? He mentioned it to me before he left, so I can take care of you. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."

Upon hearing this, the secretary in the back row immediately handed over a business card with the name of Chu Chengxi, President of Yuesheng Group.

The name and the person are exactly the opposite.

The director and the others watched the scene with a smile but said nothing. No one would be so tactless as to interrupt the conversation between the two.

In front of everyone, Rongzhen couldn't refuse, so she took it and said thank you.

With this little episode and the good audition results, the director made the decision on the spot: "You're the female lead. Go out and tell your agent to sign the contract."

Rong Zhen had never thought it would be so smooth. She subconsciously glanced at Mr. Chu, thinking that it was probably because of him.

But no matter what, she has got this good piece of cake, and it is impossible for her to give it up.

Because as long as she plays this role well, her career will reach a higher level. By then, her status, worth and influence will be incomparable to before, and becoming a wealthy family will no longer be a dream.

The temptation was too great for her to resist.

So Rongzhen accepted it as she wished, ran off the stage with a smile on her face, shook hands with the director and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I will work hard."

The director smiled and nodded, then took the opportunity to introduce everyone present to her, starting with Chu Chengxi who was next to him.

"I think this guy needs no introduction. He's our major investor and sponsor, Mr. Chu. We were able to raise and make this film thanks to his financial support. If you want to thank someone, it should be him."

The director said at the end, his words were full of deep meaning.

Unfortunately, Rongzhen didn't realize it for the time being, and mistakenly thought that what he said meant was that, first, Mr. Chu did invest a lot of money in the movie, and they should thank him in particular, and second, Rongzhen was able to be confirmed to play the leading actress partly because of this man's face, so she should thank him in particular.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Rong Zhen thought she understood what the director meant and quickly reached out to Chu Chengxi.

Chu Chengxi stretched out his big hand and held hers. The dry touch was slightly rougher than that man's.

Rongzhen couldn't help but look up and found that the other person's facial features and skin texture were not only different from that person, but even his height and skin color were slightly different.

Chu Chengxi is a little taller than him, his skin is darker than his, his eyes are more indifferent than his, his temperament is more mature than his, he is more stable than him, and even his voice is a little better than his.

Facing her scrutiny, Chu Chengxi calmly shook her hand and said calmly:

"You're welcome. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
