Chapter 47 A Luxurious Meal



To this day, no one can believe that Su Xi was playing herself in that play.

A few months ago, Su Xi attended an event at Kyoto’s largest horse farm. At the time, Su Xi admitted that she couldn’t ride a horse and was ridiculed by a group of people for being unpresentable.

After the show aired, Su Xi was criticized for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Su Xi not only knew how to ride, but she rode so well.

"So you want to know?" Su Xi leaned back in her chair, casually smiling at Zhou Li.

She loved seeing the grasshoppers get so angry.

These people never disappointed her; they were like clowns, their antics were truly spectacular.

Su Xi kept her in suspense until she was getting impatient, then said with a grin, "I'm not going to tell you."

"Su Xi, you..."

Zhou Li pointed at her, her face turning red and then pale, "Don't think you're famous just because you successfully filmed one scene. Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. You got lucky this time, but you might not be so lucky every time."

"You've really mastered Xinglan's style. You must have studied Xinglan's dramas quite a bit, right?" Qin Na really played the role of a sycophant perfectly. The way she was so eager to be used as a tool was truly ridiculous.

Su Xi shrugged and smiled faintly, "I don't need to study it."

"Whether you imitated Xinglan or not, someone like you will never be as good as Xinglan, let alone become Xinglan," Zhou Li said with a look of disdain.

Perhaps Su Xi is capable, but this is just the beginning.

One person's scenes might be fine, but what if it's scenes with two people...

Then it's not guaranteed that you'll pass on the first try.

A wicked glint flashed in Zhou Li's eyes as she thought about the upcoming scenes.

After the group left, Hua Qing sneered, "They're just jealous of your acting skills and afraid you'll steal their thunder, so they're deliberately trying to diminish your prestige and boost their own."

“Su Xi, I suddenly believe that you will definitely become famous, even more famous than Su Rou and Qiao Xing.”

Su Xi gave her a look that said, "You're only just realizing this now," and said, "I'll take you on stage with me for this year's Oscar for Best Actress."

...

During the lunch break, Su Xi had just come out of Director Zhu's lounge when she heard a loud shout, "Young Master Zhou is treating us to a big meal today!"

Looking up, she saw Si Nan distributing lunches, and Zhou Jingming standing behind her beckoned to her, "Xi'er, come here."

Su Xi smiled and moved closer.

"You came this morning, why didn't you look for me?"

Zhou Jingming brushed the stray hairs from her face, looking both lighthearted and gentle. "I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd drop by. You're busy, so I didn't want to bother you."

"Did you go to find Qiao Xing?" Su Xi grabbed the man's collar, her eyes dangerous.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Jingming chuckled and said, "No."

Su Xicai didn't believe it. Qiao Xing's film crew was nearby, and Zhou Jingming had left in such a hurry that morning, it was hard not to be suspicious.

"Really, no." Zhou Jingming practically swore an oath.

Su Xi didn't care who Zhou Jingming went to see, but if she wanted to mess with Qiao Xing, it wouldn't hurt to inform the scoundrel in advance.

"Miss Qiao has upset me, so I'm planning to put her on the trending topics list for a few days. I hope my husband won't mind."

It's been a whole morning, and Qiao Xing still hasn't made a move. It seems he's too ashamed to apologize publicly.

Is this woman confident because of her strong public relations skills, or does she believe herself to be kind and compassionate?

Zhou Jingming looked at her with an expression of approval, saying, "As long as you want to do it, go for it. Your husband will back you up."

Su Xi raised her eyebrows.

That scoundrel wasn't angry at all.

It seems Qiao Xing's sincere feelings are going to be wasted.

He's eager to please others, but he doesn't care.

Su Xizhen felt sorry for Qiao Xing. He risked ruining his career by using underhanded tactics, only to end up like this.

"I heard my husband has invested a lot of money. I'm going to ruin Qiao Xing, and the whole show will be affected. Are you sure you can do this?" Su Xi played with the crystal button on the man's shirt collar. This scoundrel never wore a tie, and the top two buttons were never fastened. His charming and roguish demeanor was both wicked and roguish.

Zhou Jingming narrowed his eyes and grabbed her restless hand, "Don't you still have me to make money for you?"

Si Nan had already reported the matter on the trending topics to him.

It was indeed Qiao Xing who did it.

Even if Su Xi doesn't make a move, he won't let her off easily.

"Putting so much pressure on me, what if I ruin the whole show? Wouldn't you have wasted your time?"

I believe you.

Zhou Jingming pulled her forward, saying, "I'll take you out for a big meal."

Su Xi thought the meal was just a fancy boxed lunch like everyone else's. Just as Zhou Jingming led her to sit down in the rest area, Si Nan and several bodyguards pushed a food cart off the bus.

Exquisite and abundant dishes were laid out one by one on the table in front of her.

There were a total of eighteen.

It was comparable to a banquet.

Su Xi glanced at the dishes and gasped in astonishment, "So many dishes, are you sure I can finish them all?"

Zhou Jingming rested his hands on the chair with a mischievous grin, "You don't need to finish it, just let everyone watch you eat."

Su Xi turned around and saw a group of people looking at her, their faces filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He used to think the fancy boxed lunch in his hand smelled delicious, but after seeing Su Xi's big table of dishes, he suddenly felt like he was eating fast food.

The expressions of Zhou Li and Qin Na, in particular, were quite remarkable.

Su Xi found it both smug and amusing.

"Thank you, husband, for ordering this loving lunch for me." Su Xi raised her voice so that everyone on set could hear her.

Zhou Jingming picked up his chopsticks and personally fed her some food, saying, "Try this. It's the hotel's signature dish; it tastes pretty good."

Su Xi opened her mouth, ate it, tasted it, and gave a thumbs up, "Delicious."

"It's delicious, eat more." In front of the crowd, Zhou Jingming patted Su Xi's head.

Zhou Li was so angry that she slammed the lunchbox she was holding onto the table.

Why are they eating boxed lunches while Su Xi is eating a gourmet meal?

What's wrong with Zhou Jingming? After so many years of discord with Su Xi, he suddenly changed his personality after getting their marriage certificate.

This must be just an act.

Zhou Jingming is just an incompetent playboy; there's absolutely no way he would care about Su Xi.

Su Xi tasted every dish and was about half full.

Zhou Jingming's phone rang, so he went to his car to answer it.

Su Xi turned and waved to Hua Qing, "Sister Hua, come over here to eat."

After saying that, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Anyone who wants an extra meal can join us."

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

No matter how delicious the boxed lunch is, it can't compare to Su Xi's luxurious meal.

Qin Na really wanted to go, but because Zhou Li was there, she held back.

He even added fuel to the fire, saying, "Don't be fooled by the food. Su Xi is smug now because Zhou Shao is protecting her, but the day Zhou Shao gets tired of her and kicks her to the curb, she'll still be eating boxed lunches."

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be grateful; he who eats another's food is obligated to feed him. Never ruin your future for a moment's pleasure."

This immediately extinguished everyone's restless thoughts.

Su Xi watched as the artists, who had already stood up, sat back down because of Qin Na's words, and smiled meaningfully.
