Chapter Twenty-One: The Formal Showdown with the Zhou Family
Su Muci went to the bathroom and splashed her face twice to calm herself down.
As dawn approached, she stopped sleeping—she pursed her lips as she thought of the female anchor from Zhou's Radio who had challenged her to a PK (competition).
"Zhou Mengying, your good luck will soon come to an end."
At 10 a.m., the "Sound of Heartbeats" radio program arrived as scheduled.
The show just started broadcasting today, and the audience size has already exceeded six figures. This is clearly due to the successful promotion of the ancient Chinese songs yesterday, which attracted many people to tune in.
"Welcome to GX Radio's Heartbeat Voice. I'm your Loulan sister, and next to me is our new partner, Su Su, who joined us yesterday."
"Hello everyone, I'm SuSu."
Su Muci's gentle voice was broadcast through a radio station to a billiards club.
"Listen to this, this is the radio host who became quite popular yesterday for singing ancient Chinese songs. What do you think?"
Suddenly, one of the young men started to make a fuss.
One of them nudged Fu Hengzhi, who was focused on playing billiards:
"Hengzhi, why do I feel like this female anchor's voice sounds a bit like your ex-girlfriend Su Muci?"
As soon as the name "Su Muchi" was mentioned, the entire billiard room fell silent.
Fu Hengzhi paused for a few seconds while playing billiards.
He immediately scoffed, "Su Muci? She doesn't have that ability."
That woman was just a nanny who hadn't even graduated from high school and only knew how to cook and do housework at home. How could she possibly sing in classical Chinese?
No sooner had the words been spoken than the bright and elegant young lady Zhou Mengying, dressed in a custom-made red leather jacket, gracefully entered, instantly adding a touch of glamour to the entire billiards club.
"Are you Miss Zhou Mengying?"
A newly arrived nouveau riche young master in the club came over after smelling the fragrance of a beautiful woman, only to be slapped in the face and pushed five steps away by Fu Hengzhi.
"roll!"
A cold rebuke rang out, and Fu Hengzhi glanced dangerously at the ignorant nouveau riche young master.
The other young men laughed, "Miss Zhou belongs to Young Master Fu. How dare you look at her? Young Master Fu won't forgive you easily!"
Upon hearing this, the nouveau riche young master had no choice but to slink away in a huff.
Zhou Mengying was quite pleased with this exclusive favor. Although she had been chosen by Huo Zhan, the business tycoon of Kyoto, and was planning to break off the engagement, why not let this young master of Jiangcheng be her lapdog for a few more days?
She took Fu Hengzhi's arm and asked, "Hengzhi, you also think this female host from GX Radio has a very nice voice, right?"
Fu Hengzhi's reply was impeccable: "GX Radio? Never heard of it, I only listen to Ying'er's radio station."
Zhou Mengying was very satisfied.
"You can listen to it today, because you won't have the chance to listen to it again later."
Fu Hengzhi frowned slightly, and the young men next to him realized what was going on: "Princess Zhou, your Zhou's Radio station's Bai Bai wants to compete against her. Are you planning to put this newcomer back in the womb?"
Zhou Mengying said disdainfully, "That's right. As long as that Su Su dares to accept the challenge, I will make her experience the consequences of being born into the wrong family."
Upon hearing this, the young men in the club exchanged knowing glances.
A barely perceptible hint of pity flashed across Fu Hengzhi's eyes.
Undeniably, he did think that the anchor Su Su had a very pleasant voice.
But since Zhou Mengying wanted to deal with her, Fu Hengzhi naturally wouldn't interfere.
If that woman actually agrees to the PK, she's digging her own grave, and she has no one to blame but herself.
Just then, on the radio program "The Sound of Heartbeats," Sister Loulan brought up this topic:
"Many listeners have probably heard that yesterday, the popular radio host, Xiaobaibai, publicly challenged our Susu sister to a PK (player kill) contest. Susu sister, you probably wouldn't participate in such a private PK, right?"
Loulan gave her a chance to publicly refuse a PK, but Su Muci clearly replied:
"SuSu opened a live stream this morning, the name is GXSuSu, everyone is welcome to follow. As for BaiBai's PK, I'm always happy to connect with her."
No one saw the darkening of Loulan's pretty face in the broadcasting room.
At the billiards club, a burst of mockery erupted: "Welcome to connect anytime? This little streamer dares to be so arrogant!"
"Princess Zhou, hurry up and have your Bai Bai beat her to a pulp! The punishment for losing the PK is to make her show her face and remove her makeup!"
"Yeah, how many radio hosts who only broadcast their voices but never show their faces are actually good-looking? They might just be fat, thick-necked women!"
Zhou Mengying curled her lips into a smile and picked up her phone to send a text message to one of her anchors.
Fu Hengzhi glanced at the text message she sent: 【Bye, she agreed to the PK, go all out and destroy her.】
Where is the refinement of a young lady from a wealthy family or a future wife of a rich family in such sharp and overt language?
Fu Hengzhi remembered the first time he saw Zhou Mengying. She was wearing a white dress and holding a disabled white silver fox dog in her arms while painting in the park. Although it was just her back, it became a fleeting glimpse in his life.
Ever since the butler told him that it was Miss Zhou Mengying, the name "Zhou Mengying" has been etched into his genes.
He will never forget how beautiful, gentle, and kind she was.
But Su Muchi ruined all of this.
Su Muchi, relying on her status as the daughter of the first wife, lacked education and upbringing, possessing only ugliness and malice. She pushed his Ying'er down the stairs, causing his beloved Ying'er to suffer from leg pain for the rest of her life and become so ruthless.
Thinking of Su Muci's attempt to seduce him in the men's restroom last time, Fu Hengzhi's eyes turned sinister.
The woman hasn't appeared in front of him these past few days, which shows she has some self-awareness.
If she reappears, he will never forgive her so easily again!
Fu Hengzhi suppressed his disgust and pulled Zhou Mengying into his arms.
"Ying'er, Dad's birthday banquet is next week, come with me to pick out a gift?"
At that birthday banquet, he also needed to appease his future father-in-law and secure the Huo family's cooperation.
Upon hearing the words "our dad," a complex light flashed in Zhou Mengying's eyes: "Okay."
Shortly after the two left the billiards club, another trending topic on Weibo emerged:
[Bai Bai: Su Su, since you've agreed to the PK, let's meet in our live stream tonight at 8 PM! Just so you know, there will be a penalty for the loser!]
...
Inside GX Radio, Sister Loulan skipped the training session for Su Muci that day, left GX Radio without saying a word.
Su Muci sighed. It was clear that Sister Loulan had given up on her.
But she came to terms with it.
Regardless, she was determined to make Zhou Mengying lose everything.
After get off work, Huo Junjun asked her to meet at a restaurant.
Huo Junjun seemed to have not eaten for days, wolfing down her food for ten minutes before getting to the main topic:
"Mu Ci, I originally wanted to advise you to back off and not confront the Zhou family head-on, but seeing that you agreed to the PK, I've changed my mind. Even if you can avoid it this time, what about next time, and the time after that? So, I've decided to take out all my savings from my hidden stash!"
"Regardless of whether we win or lose tonight's competition, we absolutely cannot lose our fighting spirit!"
Su Muci felt a lump in her throat when she heard these words.
"Junjun, thank you. Without you and your brother, I definitely wouldn't be where I am today."
Upon hearing this, Huo Junjun's eyes flickered: "So what's your impression of my brother now? Have you developed even the slightest crush on him?"
Was he attracted to Huo Zhan?
Su Muci suddenly froze.
Since the incident on the rooftop, Su Muci knew that her mind was full of hatred and she had no such thoughts at all.
But when facing Junjun, she couldn't bear to say the negative.
“Junjun, your brother is very outstanding. As the deputy director of the radio station, he lives in the same apartment building as the staff. He is very dedicated. He will definitely succeed in the future.”
"Employee apartments?"
Huo Junjun smiled and waved her hand: "My brother goes back to my hometown every night to stay and take care of my grandfather. Why would he live in the staff apartment?"
Su Muci was surprised.
"But I saw with my own eyes last night that your brother lives downstairs from me..."
"???"
Huo Junjun felt that the "brother" Mu Ci mentioned was not the same "brother" as her.
