Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Like a clown is just a one-sided letter...
Noticing He Shengnian's actions, there was a brief silence at the dinner table. No one expected that he would take the initiative to approach Xu Qinghu.
After all, they had a rather ugly quarrel last night, and everyone thought that he had given up on Xu Qinghu.
"Thank you." Xu Qinghu did not avoid He Shengnian's gaze. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she did not touch the cup of soy milk.
"Do you want fried eggs?" You Zhi's voice came from the opposite side, gently helping Xu Qinghu out of the situation.
"Thank you." Xu Qinghu turned around and handed him his plate.
"You're welcome." You Zhi looked at her with a hint of worry in his eyes. Yesterday's public opinion was overwhelming. He originally wanted to go find Xu Qinghu, but she and He Shengnian came into the room after returning from the rooftop.
He never found the right opportunity.
Fortunately, Wu Xuan helped her clarify the matter, otherwise this matter would not have ended so easily.
"Can you get me some more blueberries?" Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "Other fruits are fine too."
"Of course." You Zhi took some of her favorite fruits from the fruit plate.
Watching the two people interacting as if no one was around, Wu Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at You Zhi with obvious hostility.
"By the way," Gu Jingchen said at the right moment, "My fashion show is taking place tonight, everyone remember to come and see it."
"Is it Wednesday already?" Zhong Zining was a little surprised. "Then I'll leave work early today."
"Okay," Gu Jingchen smiled, "I'll pick you up at the door then."
"I'm really looking forward to it," Ruan Xiaoyu said, "The clothes designed by Teacher Gu must be very beautiful."
"We'll know when the time comes," Gu Jingchen looked at Xu Qinghu. She looked back at him and said with a smile, "I remember that Teacher Gu's design this time was related to nature and traditional Chinese culture. It was a bold attempt that we've never made before."
"Yes," Gu Jingchen said, surprised that she still remembered what he said. "It's about animals and flowers, and it even incorporates embroidery elements."
"Where did you get the inspiration?" Xu Qinghu asked, "You must have been preparing for a long time, right?"
"That's what design is all about," Gu Jingchen said. "I was already doing the preliminary work before even participating in the show. I visited many experienced embroidery masters and even went abroad to look for inspiration. Of course, this fashion show is not just my personal effort, but also the joint efforts of many people behind the scenes. I hope everyone likes it."
He said so much, it might seem like he was advertising himself.
Before participating in the show, although he was a well-known designer, he was not so well-known, and not many heavyweight guests visited his show.
But this time, he not only invited well-known figures in the industry, but also many socialite elites took the initiative to extend olive branches and wanted to watch his work in person.
If he can prove his ability in this fashion show, his career will definitely reach new heights.
This was also the main reason why he brought up this matter at the dinner table. Xu Qinghu was currently very popular, and wherever she appeared, she would inevitably attract a lot of attention.
"So attentive?" Ruan Xiaoyu sighed, "I'm already looking forward to it."
Gu Jingchen's smile deepened, "I can introduce my creative process to everyone then."
"OK."
After dinner, Xu Qinghu looked at the time and prepared to go to the company with his bag.
"Hulu," Qiao Wanshu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called her and said with a somewhat unnatural look, "I'm driving to the company today. Do you want to take my car?"
Xu Qinghu was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to invite him.
"You're dressed very beautifully today," Qiao Wanshu said with a slight smile, "It might not be convenient to take the subway."
This proactive show of goodwill not only surprised Xu Qinghu, but also the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Has Qiao Wanshu lost her mind? Has she forgotten that she and Xu Qinghu are rivals in love?]
[You were so rude to Xu Qinghu before, but now you're actively trying to please him. Don't you feel embarrassed?]
[The two of them were no different from enemies in the hut, how could she still have the nerve to say such things?]
[She probably knew her family was going bankrupt, and was afraid Xu Qinghu would team up with his junior to retaliate against her.]
[Don't think everyone doesn't know that Hulu's negative information was exposed by her family. Now she's playing the innocent role. Does she deserve it?]
Xu Qinghu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a few seconds. Seeing that Qiao Wanshu avoided his gaze, he did not embarrass her and just said, "Thank you. I called a taxi."
After saying that, she walked out of the cabin with her bag and quickly left in a car.
Qiao Wanshu stood there and took a few deep breaths, then turned and went into the kitchen to help He Shengnian. Only then did he realize that he was looking towards the parking lot, and Xu Qinghu's figure appeared in his sight.
After Xu Qinghu got into the taxi, the live broadcast room kept asking her how she and Wu Xuan got together.
If yesterday's public opinion put Xu Qinghu in dire straits, then Wu Xuan's clarification quickly ignited this dating show and made Xu Qinghu completely popular.
Her account now has nearly 10 million followers, which is several times more than Qiao Wanshu's, and she even crushes other guests.
She has become the most popular female guest in the dating show.
After seeing the clarification, the director laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, and asked Xu Qinghu to find time to respond.
Xu Qinghu naturally did not miss this opportunity.
When I got to the company, I found a quiet place and clarified the negative information about yesterday.
"Did I know Wu Xuan posted the video?" Xu Qinghu read the comments and answered frankly facing the camera: "After the video came out last night, I did contact Wu Xuan, hoping he could help me clarify the matter. I even thought about how to explain it to everyone the next morning. Who knew he would post the video so quickly? It caught me off guard."
"But I'm very grateful to him. Without him, I would have been able to clarify, but the process might have been a little more difficult."
[I knew Hulu wouldn't miss a junior.]
[I didn't expect my junior to reply using the official account. That's really awesome.]
[Hulu, now that your junior has convinced his family and even come to you on a dating show, will you reconsider him?]
This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.
Is there still a possibility for Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan?
According to Wu Xuan, they had been in a relationship for three years, had a cat together, and had many good memories. If it weren't for their family's obstruction, they should have had a happy ending.
Now he is trying his best to make up for it. Is Xu Qinghu really not moved?
This question went viral, with some hoping Xu Qinghu would consider Wu Xuan, while others told Xu Qinghu to never look back.
Xu Qinghu was not as conflicted as they were. He smiled and said, "Wu Xuan and I, we——"
"Meow~"
A coquettish cat's meow came from the luxuriously decorated villa. The young man sitting on the sofa waved his hand, and the kitten jumped into his arms.
Wu Xuan pinched its soft ears with his hands and looked at Xu Qinghu's face on the big screen. She was very close to the camera, and there was not a single spot on her fair face. She looked bright and beautiful.
Like the unpredictable wind and the snow on the distant mountains.
A pleasant voice came slowly, "Wu Xuan and I, we've finished a long time ago."
Although there was a smile in Xu Qinghu's eyes, his expression was very calm, as if all the beautiful memories that had existed had vanished into thin air the moment they broke up.
"I'm very grateful that he came to the dating show to find me, and I'm also grateful that he helped me clarify, but this has nothing to do with our breakup."
"If all broken relationships can be reconciled through reconciliation elsewhere, then such relationships would be too indifferent for me."
The man's eyes suddenly darkened.
After hearing this, many comments began to speak for Wu Xuan, saying that he had not made any mistakes in principle and that he could actually be given a chance to prove himself.
"What kind of mistake is a mistake of principle?" Xu Qinghu asked in return: "Do we have to find such a reason to break up completely?"
[The main reason is that my junior has a very good family background. If you miss him, it will be difficult for you to meet such a good partner again.]
[+1. As someone who's been through this, I'd like to remind you that finding a partner is like finding a father for your future child. If someone has already gone this far, don't try to be too aggressive. Be careful not to end up with nothing.]
[I also think that the junior is pretty good, Hulu, give him a chance.]
[My junior is showing off his boyfriend power this time. I'm really touched.]
Seeing these foul comments, Xu Qinghu didn't get angry. Instead, he stared at the camera, seemingly amused by the audience. "Just because he comes from a wealthy family, he's my only choice? Have you all got one thing wrong? I'm not a gift. I can't be with anyone who offers the highest price."
"If that's the case, then the next person who offers a higher price can also fall in love with me?"
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, but her eyes were cold, which instantly made the live broadcast room quiet.
Those who were madly brushing Wu Xuan also became dejected. Looking at her almost perfect face, it was like being hit on the head.
[What was the commenter saying just now? Are you really a Hulu fan?]
[Hulu is a free individual, please respect her choice.]
[Whether it's a junior or someone else, what matters most is that she likes him.]
[What about Mr. He?]
Someone couldn't help but ask: [Will you still be with He Shengnian?]
This again aroused heated discussion among the people, who hoped that Xu Qinghu could answer their questions.
Looking at the rolling barrage of comments, Xu Qinghu remained calm and said, "I thought everyone had already watched last night's live broadcast."
[But he's the person you've fallen in love with since joining the dating show. Are you really willing to give up He Shengnian?]
[He even poured you some soy milk this morning, which means he regretted it after knowing the truth.]
[Get lost upstairs! He Shengnian is worse than Wu Xuan. At least Wu Xuan can help Hulu clarify things, while he can only distance himself from the matter.]
[+1, He Xu CP is already dead in my heart.]
Despite this, many people are still curious about what Xu Qinghu thinks of He Shengnian.
If it weren't for what happened last night, they would still be the sweetest couple in the dating show. But it turns out that without enough emotional foundation, the momentary affection was insignificant.
In the slightly cold and solemn office, a man in a black suit lowered his eyes and stared at the screen, his gaze falling on Xu Qinghu's delicate face like white jade.
Also waiting for her answer.
What would she say? Would she give the same resolute no, or would she have another explanation?
"I know everyone is concerned about my thoughts on Mr. He," Xu Qinghu didn't shy away from these questions. He said calmly, "He and I explained everything clearly last night on the rooftop."
"Although we haven't known each other for long," Xu Qinghu said, "after spending some time together, I think I understand him well enough, and he should understand me well too."
"But it turns out that one-sided trust is meaningless."
"It just makes me feel like a clown who made a fool of myself."
