Qian Cheng inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Cheng couldn't explain his feelings. He had liked Zhou Chuxiang and knew about her family situation.
He only got together with Zhou Ruqing after giving up Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang was someone he abandoned and looked down upon.
If, in the end, it turns out that Zhou Chuxiang's family situation is better than Zhou Ruqing's, then all his scheming will have come to nothing, and he will become a complete joke.
Fortunately, Chu Xiang had no connection with the boss; otherwise, he would have definitely regretted it.
Just as Qian Cheng was about to leave, the shop assistant suddenly smiled and said:
"However, our boss's surname is also Zhou."
Qian Cheng's face stiffened, and he asked incredulously, "Your boss's surname is Zhou?"
"Yes, our boss has three daughters. I think the second daughter's name is this. But I've only been here for less than a month and haven't met her yet. If you want to know more about her, you can ask our store manager directly."
When Chu Yu returned, she noticed that Chu Xiang's complexion was off. She washed her hands in front of the washbasin stand, then turned to Chu Chu and asked, "What's wrong with your second sister?"
"I don't know. She came back fuming and swore a lot. I think it must be related to men." Chu Chu looked like a little philosopher.
Chu Yu laughed and said, "You understand now?"
"That's right, I think it's that student council president, sis, you know what? That man went too far. He thought our mom was a maid in a wealthy family, and he thought my second sister wasn't good enough, so he dumped her and went to find the daughter of a professor at the school."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"That's right, men are really pragmatic. These days, there aren't many men like my brother-in-law."
Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh. Chu Chu was practically Dai Donglin's number one fan. She didn't know what kind of spell Dai Donglin had cast on her, but she thought he was good enough to be her brother-in-law.
"What if I dumped your brother Dai and found another man to marry? What do you think?"
Chu Chu thought she really thought that way, and she got anxious. She dragged her stool over and said, "Sister, do you want to dump Brother Dai? No, what are you thinking? You're so beautiful, any man standing next to you would look intimidated and wouldn't be good enough for you. Only Brother Dai can keep up with your aura. Brother Dai is also handsome, and you two are a perfect match."
Chu Yu chuckled. This kid was acting like he was shipping a couple.
"How come I didn't realize I had a hidden little fan? Tell me, are you my fan or your Brother Dai's fan?"
Chu Chu clung to Chu Yu's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, please don't dump Brother Dai. I just want you two to be together. I'll be sad if either of you leaves."
"Okay, okay, I won't dump him. I'm going to go see your second sister. You go do your homework."
Chu Xiang is currently writing the script for "The Bewitching Martial World 3". In order to bring a fresh feel to the third installment, Chu Yu hopes that she can come up with a fresh concept. He has also found a screenwriter from Hong Kong to collaborate with her. The two have been communicating by phone. Chu Xiang will be going to Hong Kong next week to discuss some script-related issues with the collaborating screenwriter.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Xiang turned around. "Sister, you're back?"
"Are you alright? Chu Chu said you weren't in a good mood."
"It's nothing, it's just that Qian Cheng. Didn't he keep me hanging on and play games with me before? Later, he thought our family didn't have money, so he gave up on me and started seducing his teacher's daughter, who is also his junior sister. Today, I was studying with my classmates in Yorkham and saw the two of them. That junior sister was being sarcastic and said that I used to chase after her boyfriend, and I scolded her. She became quiet after that, but I still get angry whenever I think about it."
Neither Chu Yu nor Chu Xiang are the type to show off.
Sometimes, if you have too good a temper, others will look down on you, thinking that you have no family background to support you, that you can be summoned and dismissed at will, and that anyone can give you a hard time and say a few meaningless words.
Sometimes, you shouldn't be too modest.
Being appropriately high-profile is also a form of confidence.
"There's something I wanted to tell you."
"What's up?"
"After 'The Businesswoman' became a hit, fans wrote to the studio, wanting you to hold a book signing. Now that you're famous, when your next TV series airs, or when 'The Bewitching Jianghu 3' airs, they all want you, the top screenwriter, to make an appearance as a publicity stunt. By then, your classmates at school will definitely know who you are, and there's no need to deliberately hide it," Chu Yu said slowly.
"Sister, I know everything. I didn't mean to hide it, but Qian Cheng and I aren't officially in a relationship, so I don't need to tell him every little detail. I originally planned to be honest with him after we started dating and tell him about my book. Who would have thought he would be such a calculating person? Luckily, I told him everything. Once I told him, I couldn't see his true colors."
“Indeed, when you have money, you're surrounded by good people, and it's hard to tell who's genuinely good and who's just pretending. But once you're broke and down on your luck, it's easy to see through some people and things. I just don't want you to get hurt.”
With a sister like Chu Yu, Chu Xiang felt truly happy. She hugged Chu Yu's waist and acted coquettishly towards her sister.
When Chu Chu came in, she was already jealous and said sourly, "Some people only know how to be so affectionate with their sisters behind my back!"
Chu Yu smiled and opened her arms to Chu Chu. Chu Chu immediately ran over and hugged them.
Chu Yu had been supervising the construction work all summer and had lost some weight; her waist had become thinner, and her skirts were swaying precariously. Shu Hui felt sorry for her and made her some braised pork to help her recover. She fed her several meals, but instead of gaining weight, Chu Yu lost even more weight, which made Shu Hui even more worried.
"Why is it so hard for you to raise succulents? Are you suffering from summer heat?"
Chu Yu felt fine; she was still quite plump in the right places. Losing a few pounds made her feel lighter and more in control, a feeling she quite liked.
