Chapter 1428 Select
Li Jinyu, the only daughter of Director Li, is as beautiful as jade, so she is also called Xiaoyu.
Director Li had a daughter in his old age and he spoiled her like the apple of his eye.
The unconditional pampering makes Li Jinyu quite flamboyant. In her opinion, she deserves the best of everything.
During a filming session with Director Li, this girl fell in love with Zhou Chenshu.
From then on, she waited, waiting for herself to become an adult, waiting for a public occasion to confess her love to Zhou Chenshu.
She is a very rational person and she knows clearly what chips she has in her hand.
The Zhou family’s resources are great, but his father has not been in the entertainment industry for nothing all these years. No matter how high or low he is, Zhou Chenshu has to call his father "teacher".
With the two powerful companies joining forces, Zhou Chenshu will definitely go further.
Recently, my dad has a large-scale ancient TV series in preparation. Many big names in the industry have come to audition, and some have even gone to various channels to seek an audition opportunity just to show their faces.
Zhou Chenshu was invited to audition for the male lead role. The role was very big, and as long as he got this role, it would be considered a representative work in his acting career.
Therefore, she became more confident.
Any smart person would know what they should choose. She had read Zhou Chenshu's interview and knew that he had a white moonlight in his heart.
But so what?
Not to mention that the two of them are not together, even if they are together, she has no scruples. As long as it is something that Li Jinyu wants, she has never failed.
She spoke loudly on Weibo and never thought that she might be rejected.
She is not bad looking, which doesn't mean Zhou Chenshu is wronged. In addition, she also gives him the much-anticipated male lead position. Anyone who can't do the math is a fool.
Li Jinyu was wearing a princess dress and came down the stairs. Her eyes were only on Zhou Chenshu all the way.
But he seemed to be waiting for someone and kept looking outside.
"Brother Shuli," Li Jinyu walked over, "You look so handsome today."
Zhou Chenshu politely replied, "You are beautiful too."
Li Jinyu smiled and stuck out her tongue mischievously, "I picked it out specially." Only then did Li Jinyu notice that the suit Zhou Chenshu was wearing was a dark blue, which did not match her light white color.
"Brother Chen Shu, why don't you wear something lighter-colored? Didn't I tell you I wanted to wear a white princess dress?"
Li Jinyu was very concerned about her reputation. She wanted a man to absolutely submit to her. At this moment, she looked at Zhou Chenshu with some dissatisfaction, "We'll dance and take pictures later."
The original intention was actually to act a little bit like a spoiled child, but it went off track and the tone sounded a bit bossy.
Director Li frowned as he listened.
"Sorry, I didn't plan to dance today." Zhou Chenshu was very gentlemanly and expressed himself clearly, "If your previous plan was to ask me to dance the opening dance, I'm afraid you need to find someone else."
Zhou Chenshu's tone was always calm.
Every word and sentence is logically clear.
"What?" Li Jinyu frowned upon hearing this, and his voice became much higher. The people around him were already curious, and now they turned their heads to look at him. Director Li tried to stop him, and Li Jinyu frowned again. In a low, blaming tone, he said to Zhou Chen, "I've already posted on Weibo, and you don't dance with me. Do you want everyone to laugh at me?"
Having said that, Zhou Chenshu became a little impatient.
He said calmly, "I don't think I ever promised you the opening dance before. I have something else to do, so I won't stay long. Director Li, we'll meet again someday."
"Hey, hey, hey—" Director Li saw this and immediately grabbed Zhou Chenshu's arm. "There are so many people watching. Give me some face and dance. It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat. You performed well in the costume trial for that drama last time. You know what I mean, right?"
What was said was quite straightforward, and Zhou Chenshu understood it very well. However, his expression was a little disappointed, not with the role, but simply with Director Li as a person.
Director Li also noticed and felt that he had gone a bit too far, so he gave him an excuse, "I was just talking nonsense. Things like this naturally depend on your strength. If you don't want to dance, then don't dance. Please give me some face and stay for another half an hour. There are so many reporters here. It would be embarrassing if you left."
Zhou Chenshu looked around and saw that there were indeed a lot of people taking pictures.
He nodded and stepped aside.
Li Jinyu frowned and stamped his feet, "Dad!"
Director Li said, "Alright, I told you before, he has a stubborn temper. Don't treat Zhou Chenshu the same way you treated those who pursued you before. What good boy would like you? If you really like Zhou Chenshu, put aside your pride. His family is very powerful. It's useless for me to force him. You have to rely on your own ability."
Li Jinyu looked at Zhou Chenshu sullenly without moving his eyes.
She has seen countless men, but it is rare to find such an outstanding man.
As soon as she stood closer, she could clearly see the outline of Zhou Chenshu's bulging muscles under his white shirt. She was very curious about what kind of amazing sight this man would have when he took off his shirt.
Li Jinyu lowered his head, thought for a while, and said to Director Li, "I understand."
Zhou Chenshu really had no interest in staying any longer and originally wanted to drink the wine in the glass and leave.
At this moment, a pair of nude high heels fell in front of me.
"Hello," the person said, their voice trembling. When Zhou Chenshu looked up, he saw the girl in front of him. She was quite pretty, unlike Liu Shuyi's coldness. She had a sweet, Japanese-style, childish face. She extended her hand and said, "My name is Li Jinling."
Zhou Chenshu shook hands briefly with the other party.
"Li Jinyu is my sister. She has a bad temper and everyone in the family spoils her. Please don't mind if I offend her."
When Zhou Chenshu heard this, a look of confusion flashed across his face.
Li Jinling smiled gently, with a touch of spring breeze. She spoke a little softly, but not in a way that made people uncomfortable. "I was adopted by my father when he was young."
Zhou Chenshu nodded when he heard this.
He didn't pay much attention to other people's gossip, nor was he interested in the affairs of wealthy families, so even after hearing this, he just nodded.
Li Jinling looked at Zhou Chenshu's face and smiled. "Sister has always liked you, but you are a little domineering. But other aspects are quite good..."
He paused.
"Oh, sorry, I don't know if you have a partner now, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Chenshu: "Not yet, but I have someone I like, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it would be most appropriate to ask someone else to perform your sister's opening dance."
Li Jinling listened to this and thought for a moment. "You're so lucky to have someone you like. Okay, I'll tell Li Jinyu. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I apologize on behalf of my sister. Don't be in a hurry to leave. There's a piano program later. I hope I didn't disturb your good mood."
After Li Jinling finished speaking, she nodded to Zhou Chenshu, then turned and walked away.
After walking a few steps, Li Jinling turned her head and suddenly looked at Zhou Chenshu deeply.
Zhou Chenshu himself didn't feel anything, he just felt confused.
I called the hotel and they said Liu Shuyi hadn't left the house and was still working on some documents in the conference room.
Zhou Chenshu's heart really sank to the bottom at this moment.
Actually, I didn't really feel that she would come.
But he still gave it, thinking, what if?
What if she's in the mood, what if she wants to go out for a walk? I have to say, the pastries here are pretty good.
Zhou Chenshu was lost in thought here when the host came on stage to start the show.
Everyone's attention was on the stage. Zhou Chenshu wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but he failed before he could take a few steps.
Li Jinyu on the stage saw Zhou Chenshu turning around and immediately snatched the microphone from the host's hand in a hurry.
In front of all the guests that night, Zhou Chenshu was invited to dance for the first time.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Chenshu.
The media cameras, the long-range lights on the stage, the gazes of the people around him, everyone looked at him with eager eyes, looking forward to his opening dance with Li Jinyu.
Zhou Chenshu frowned.
He had just clearly refused.
It was rare for Zhou Chenshu to have a cold expression in public, and his frosty look surprised everyone.
"hug--"
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, a man walked up to him, smiling sweetly at everyone with a gentle smile. Then he turned his gaze to Li Jinyu with a look of guilt on his face. "I'm sorry, sister. Zhou Chenshu has already agreed to my invitation to dance, so I can't dance with you. Can you choose someone else?"
For a moment, everyone present had gossipy faces.
It would be so exciting if an adopted daughter and a biological daughter were competing for a man.
"Just cooperate with me. If you reject her outright, she'll hate you later. I know you really liked the role you auditioned for in the last TV series."
Zhou Chenshu frowned even deeper. Just as he was about to explain, Li Jinyu rudely lifted up her skirt and walked off the stage.
Li Jinling looked at Zhou Chenshu with a smile, without any fear on her face.
When Li Jinyu slapped Li Jinling in the face, Zhou Chenshu heard Li Jinling say with a smile, "Zhou Chenshu, I helped you out today, you owe me one."
The sound of a slap fell, echoing throughout the entire dinner party.
Everyone present looked at Li Jinyu in astonishment. When they saw her raise her hand again and was about to hit her, Zhou Chenshu had already grabbed Li Jinyu's hand.
Li Jinyu was already annoyed by Li Jinling's mild manner, and she acted like her own daughter, so when Li Jinling dared to snatch Zhou Chenshu from her, she was so angry that she was about to lose her mind.
"Li Jinling! What the hell are you?"
"You're just a toy my parents brought back from the orphanage before I was even born! You really think you're a nobody!"
"I tell you, as long as I'm still here, I'll be the princess of this family! And you! The meaning of your existence is to be trampled upon by me!"
Li Jinyu was so crazy that the scene was very ugly at one point.
Li's mother came over to comfort him, while Director Li whispered to everyone present that Li Jinyu had a terrible personality and simply threw away the five-meter-long cake with one hand. She stared at Zhou Chenshu with red eyes, tears streaming down her face, "Zhou Chenshu, just tell me, who do you choose?!"
The scene, which had been noisy and chaotic just now, fell into an eerie silence again after this question.
"Zhou Chenshu, she's just a bastard that no one wants! There's no benefit in protecting her!"
"I am the daughter of the Li family!"
"From now on, everything in my house and my father's property will belong to me. It has nothing to do with this woman. You should know how to choose, right?!"
Everyone present looked at the two of them as if they were watching a wonderful farce.
Zhou Chenshu hated the feeling of being the center of a scandal. He frowned and was about to speak.
Li Jinling came out, spread her hands, and protected Zhou Chenshu behind her. "Sister, I know my background is not as good as yours. I also know that everything the Li family has in the end is for you, but I didn't ask for anything in the first place. It's really rude of you to treat guests like this. If you have anything to say, come to me. You shouldn't be rude to guests."
Perhaps Li Jinyu had never seen Li Jinling dare to resist him, and after this sudden incident today, Li Jinyu really went crazy.
She raised her hand to hit him, but Director Li stopped her with disdain and embarrassment. Li Jinyu blushed and looked at Zhou Chenshu with a brick-like expression, "Zhou Chenshu, tell me! You tell me! Who do you choose?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Chenshu again.
There was gossip, curiosity, and inquiry in their eyes, and all kinds of eyes were focused on him.
Zhou Chenshu frowned, thinking that the wine he just drank was fake, and his head started to hurt.
"If it were me, I would definitely choose Li Jinyu. She's a decent daughter of the Li family. If I marry her in the future, I won't know how many benefits I will get."
When Li Jinyu heard this, he held his head high and looked at Zhou Chenshu more confidently.
Someone lowered their voice again.
"But Li Jinyu's temper... maybe we'll end up fighting at home in the future."
"Indeed, Li Jinling is beautiful, with a doll-like face and a very innocent smile."
"You men only care about looks, but you also care about money. Director Li is very rich. I heard that he has bought villas in several nearby cities. They will definitely be given to Li Jinyu in the future. How many years of hard work will be saved?"
"Too……"
“…”
Everyone was whispering. Li Jinyu looked at Zhou Chenshu with tears in her eyes. Li Jinling stood aside, also waiting for Zhou Chenshu to express his opinion.
A few seconds later, the scene fell into an eerie silence again.
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for Zhou Chen to select.
Director Li's eyes were particularly eager.
Zhou Chenshu felt his head hurt even more and was about to speak.
"Da, da. Da—"
The sound of high heels hitting the ground was crisp and rhythmic, again and again, from far to near.
