Chapter 647 Love-Struck Brains Make Him the World's Richest Man (6)
Jin Shengguo certainly wouldn't disturb the couple's holiday, so he hurriedly urged Jin Shu to go home quickly.
The couple's marital home is located in the most bustling area of Shanghai, a super-large single-level apartment with a total area of over 600 square meters.
Because Zhang Baiyu rarely returned to this bridal chamber, the original owner usually wouldn't come here either. After all, seeing the wedding decorations still remaining in the room reminded the original owner of the ambiguous entanglement between Zhang Baiyu and his ex-wife.
This time, Zhang Baiyu took the initiative to invite Jin Shu back for the festival, and according to the original owner's personality, she would definitely accept the invitation gladly.
Jin Shu strolled around the mall at a leisurely pace, personally picking out a few bags and buying a few outfits before finally taking a car home when she got tired.
Pushing open the door and walking into the dining room, Zhang Baiyu was already sitting at the table, wearing a soft and simple gray sweater. With his fair and refined face, he looked like a character straight out of a comic book.
The original text describes him extensively, mentioning his refined and elegant demeanor, his ascetic nobility, his deep love for the female lead, and his almost obsessive restraint...
In short, she appears perfect but is actually a crazy, love-obsessed person at heart.
This kind of character design is very appealing. Even if he can't be the male lead, he's definitely a supporting male character who can rival him, and might even be more outstanding than the male lead, allowing the female lead, who's caught in the middle, to enjoy happiness that others can't even imagine.
Upon seeing Jin Shu return, Zhang Baiyu stood up and pulled out a chair for her.
Jin Shu turned her head away, and saw a ring on Zhang Baiyu's long, slender, fair ring finger.
It was just a simple plain band, completely different from the multi-million dollar wedding rings they bought when they got married.
The original owner had asked, and Zhang Baiyu had only given a casual explanation.
"You'll feel more comfortable wearing this simpler one, but you can continue wearing your diamond ring."
Later, the original owner learned that he had bought the ring when he married the female lead.
Even though the female lead has long since taken off the ring to pursue new love, the obsessive and affectionate man still wears it all the time.
Jin Shu glanced at it.
Who are you trying to disgust?
She slapped away Zhang Baiyu's hand that was on her shoulder and said calmly.
"Thanks."
Zhang Baiyu was visibly surprised when she hit him, and a chill flashed in his eyes.
He walked over and sat down opposite her, looking directly into Jin Shu's eyes.
"I heard your company won the bid for the Winter Olympics. Congratulations!"
"Thanks."
Seeing that Jin Shu didn't intend to say anything more, Zhang Baiyu continued.
"Didn't you say you weren't planning to bid? Why did you change your mind?"
Jin Shu shook her head.
"I never said I didn't intend to bid; I just wanted to give you the opportunity."
"Give it to me?"
Zhang Baiyu's lips curled into a cold smile.
Jin Shu continued.
“Yes, I’ll let you have it, but the bidding is almost over and you’re still flying abroad all day long. I think you’re unlikely to win this bid. Since I don’t want to let someone else have it, I’m making my move.”
She said this so casually, as if winning the bid was just a simple matter for her.
Zhang Baiyu suppressed his displeasure.
"Your company has recently developed a new product? I don't think I've ever heard you mention it."
Jin Shu ate her food without changing her expression, her tone indifferent.
"Since we got married, we've only met six times, and the total time we've spent together is less than a day. What do you want me to say to you?"
Zhang Baiyu remained silent for a while.
He thought he would hear Jin Shu's explanation, but unexpectedly, it became his fault.
"Let's eat. Congratulations on winning the bid."
"Thanks."
The two of them ate like strangers, facing each other. After finishing their meal, they got up separately. The original bridal chamber was like a restaurant, decorated exquisitely and luxuriously, but without any human warmth.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhang Baiyu took the initiative to ask.
Jin Shu thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Nothing's wrong. What's up? Want to take me on a date?"
"You're right, I really don't know you well enough, so let's just go out for a walk today, just the two of us."
"OK."
The original owner had never been to a place like the IFC before. She was too poor to have the courage to shop there. Later, she suddenly became rich, but because she was busy with work, she didn't have the opportunity to shop there. Whenever she saw clothes or bags that she liked, she would usually have her assistant pick them up.
On the contrary, Zhang Baiyu was very familiar with this place.
"I had an important meeting that day, so I couldn't make it."
Where would you like to go today? I'll go with you.
There must be something fishy going on when things are not going well, and Jin Shu knew this better than anyone else.
Sure enough, when they reached the third floor, Jin Shu keenly noticed that Zhang Baiyu's attention was clearly not on her, and his eyes kept frequently scanning towards a certain place across the street.
Jin Shu looked up.
Sure enough, a somewhat familiar figure appeared in front of me in the shop across the street.
Mu Xixi, the original owner had seen too many of her competition videos, so she was extremely familiar with this face.
But because she had only ever seen them on TV before, seeing them in person today gave Jin Shu a feeling that they were both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.
As the female protagonist of this story, Mu Xixi has fair and clean skin, a small head and face, and an oval face with large and delicate features, giving her a friendly feeling like a girl next door.
This face was the white moonlight that Zhang Baiyu could never forget, even in his death.
"Want to buy a bag? I'll give you one for free."
Jin Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
"Okay, what kind of bag do you want to get me?"
What about Hermès?
"Hermes... Sure, I've been eyeing one lately, let's go check it out together."
As soon as I entered the store, a sales assistant approached me with a smile.
"Hello, welcome to Hermès. How can I help you?"
Jin Shu glanced at the row of clothes in front of her, then turned her head away.
"Does it have a shadow?"
The sales assistant smiled slightly and shook her head.
"I'm sorry, we don't have this bag in stock right now. Would you like to look at something else?"
Just then, Zhang Baiyu, who had been silently watching the other side, suddenly spoke up.
"If you don't have it, then we'll get it from another store. No matter the price, it's fine."
The sales assistant still had that same smile.
"I'm sorry, this bag is currently very popular and in high demand throughout our region. If you'd like, you can leave your membership information, and I'll notify you as soon as the bag becomes available."
The usually gentle and refined Zhang Baiyu seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and continued speaking.
"What about the one she's holding? I think it's quite pretty, A-Shu, what do you think of it?"
Jin Shu looked up, and at that moment Mu Xixi, who was trying on a bag, also looked over.
Their eyes met, and Mu Xixi frowned.
At this moment, she was carrying the classic Hermès Constance in a solid gold color.
