Chapter 50: Climbing High
After the interview, Shen Chutang followed the staff to the backstage, and Shi Chengyu was waiting for her in the lounge.
After all, I have to appear in public today, so I dressed more formally. The silver tie clip on my tie is very dazzling under the light.
"Tangtang, are you tired of waiting?"
Shen Chutang took off his mask and said, "I'm not tired at all. It's very interesting. I will come again next time."
Shi Chengyu held her hand and said, "There won't be so many next times. If you really want to see it, I'll tell you alone later."
"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
Shen Chutang took the opportunity to put his hand into his coat pocket, where it was warmer. "Let's go to Huadong Mansion. Assistant Lin said this place is closer."
"OK."
"Second brother?"
As soon as Shen Chutang walked out of the door, he saw a familiar figure in front of him. It was Zhou Xingyang, and there was a man standing next to him, so he called out tentatively.
Sure enough, the person over there looked over here, and Zhou Xingyang also turned his head to look over here.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little tense. Shen Sichen suppressed the anger rising in his heart and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Tang'er, are you guys done?"
Shen Sichen asked as he pulled Zhou Xingyang over. He and Shi Chengyu both had interviews today, and they were in different rooms.
Shen Chutang said, "Now that we're done, second brother, do you want to go out for dinner together?"
"Okay, wait for Wei Chuan, he's gone to buy clothes."
Shen Chutang then saw that Zhou Xingyang was only wearing a long skirt, "Second brother, I brought an extra coat, let Sister Xingyang wear it first."
Lin Shulan came up with a handbag, and Shen Chutang handed the coat to Zhou Xingyang.
"Thank you." Zhou Xingyang whispered, his fingertips turned white from the cold.
"I'll wash it and return it to you later."
"No need, I haven't worn this before, just consider it a gift for you." Shen Chutang smiled sweetly, "Let's go and have dinner."
Shen Chutang held her arm, "The food at Huadong Mansion is delicious, and there's also roast duck..."
Shi Chengyu followed behind and looked at the stunned Shen Sichen and reminded him, "Let's go, second brother."
Zhou Xingyang's body gradually warmed up, and her clothes had a faint sweet fragrance. She could tell that they were expensive, and it was probably a price she could never afford in her lifetime. And if they hadn't brought her to Huadong Mansion, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter.
They are not from the same world, so why should she deceive herself?
Shen Chutang looked at her clenched fingers and asked, "Sister Xingyang, are you cold?"
Her hand was suddenly held, and Zhou Xingyang looked down subconsciously. Shen Chutang's hand was on the back of her hand, and he wanted to cover her fist with his hand, but he couldn't cover it completely because her hand was too small.
Shen Chutang smiled and said, "I'll warm you up."
"Ms. Shen... this——"
"Just call me Tangtang." Shen Chutang interrupted her, "No need to be so formal."
Zhou Xingyang pulled her hand out anyway. She had heard about Shen Chutang's illness and was afraid that she would feel cold again, so she put her hand in her pocket. "My hand is too cold. I'll just warm it up in my pocket."
"Okay, second brother is really not considerate at all. What should we do in the future?" Shen Chutang muttered softly. The two people in front walked very slowly, and the two people following behind also slowed down their pace.
"Ms. Shen, Mr. Shen and I are not from the same world."
They will have no future.
Shen Chutang was a little surprised. She looked back, said nothing, took Zhou Xingyang's arm in the elevator, and went downstairs first.
Lin Shulang stood in front of the car. When he saw Shen Chutang and Zhou Xingyang coming, he was stunned for a moment, then opened the car door.
Zhou Xingyang was a little hesitant, but Shen Chutang pulled her in without giving her any chance to refuse.
"Ms. Shen, this is Mr. Shi's car, I——"
"Sister Xingyang, if you keep calling me gentleman on the left and lady on the right, I'm going to get angry." Shen Chutang said pretending to be angry, even though it was not like this the previous times they met.
"And what do you mean by not being the same world?"
Zhou Xingyang lowered her eyes. She just said what was in her heart on impulse, and now she didn't know how to explain it.
"Tangtang, your brother and I will soon be together." She whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
Shen Chutang didn't know whether she was cold or scared, "So what? Then we can still be friends. I like you too."
Zhou Xingyang couldn't control her emotions for a moment and tears fell. Shen Chutang raised the barrier of the car and handed her a tissue.
"Tangtang, I'm just an ordinary person who just wants to live an ordinary life. Shen Sichen and I are not suitable for each other, and I can't afford him."
This was a bit incoherent, and Shen Chutang didn't know what happened between them. He reached out and patted her on the back, "Sister Xingyang, what is appropriate and what is inappropriate?"
"You think you are marrying above your station because of your different family backgrounds, but I think my second brother is marrying above his station in terms of personality and appearance."
"My second brother may say harsh things sometimes, but he is actually a very soft-hearted person. Although I don't know what happened between you two, I can see that my second brother likes you very much."
Zhou Xingyang wiped his tears with a tissue, "Tangtang, I know what you said, but..."
But she is not Shen Chutang. A girl who has been raised in a warm environment since childhood will never have the same experience as her.
"Sister Xing Yang, there is no difference between people in nature. You think that money and power have given Second Brother an unattainable appearance, so you can also use other things to make yourself unattainable."
"If you must pursue a love that is evenly matched, then just work hard." Shen Chutang wiped the tears from her eyes with his fingers, "Instead of shedding tears here, sighing and saying that we are not from the same world and that it is all going to end."
Zhou Xingyang felt the warmth on his face, looked at Shen Chutang's teasing smile, and laughed along, but his tears flowed even more.
"Tangtang, thank you..."
The tissue was crumpled by her, rolled into a ball and then unfolded it, then rolled into a ball again.
The car slowly stopped, Lin Shulang came over and opened the door. Zhou Xingyang's emotions had calmed down, except for his slightly red and swollen eyes that could not be ignored.
After getting out of the car, Shen Chutang glared at Shen Sichen, then pulled Shi Chengyu's hand and walked inside.
Shi Chengyu had been depressed all the way, but now that he had finally found someone, a slight smile appeared on his face, "Tangtang just left me behind."
He looked a little aggrieved. Shen Chutang glared at him and said, "I was with Sister Xing Yang."
Shi Chengyu said nothing more and held her hand contentedly.
"Zhou Xingyang."
Shen Sichen walked over, took her hand somewhat forcefully, and said in a low voice, "We haven't broken up yet."
Zhou Xingyang said nothing and let him lead him.
Shen Sichen led the group inside and looked at the two people in front of him. For a moment, he felt that they looked more like a couple.
