"Chu Yu, you look so beautiful today!" Qiao Ru said with a smile.
Chu Yu raised her glass and sincerely thanked everyone, saying, "Thank you all for coming to my wedding. Please enjoy the food and drinks and don't feel shy."
Everyone was happy for them, except for Wei Mingyuan and Qiao Shanshan, who were unhappy. Wei Mingyuan, needless to say, only realized after coming here that Dai Donglin was better than him in every way. He spent so much money to get a wife, found such a high-end hotel, hosted guests, and had all the leaders he knew well. Wei Mingyuan didn't dare to be presumptuous at all.
Only then did he realize that his jealousy of Dai Donglin was completely unreasonable; the other man was simply not on the same level as him. It was like an ant being jealous of a human; what human would care about an ant at their feet?
Qiao Shanshan felt an unprecedented sense of loss. Chu Yu wore a wedding dress, a diamond necklace, and crystal shoes. Chu Yu's wedding was too extravagant. Shouldn't most families dislike such a daughter-in-law? They would think that she spends too much money and is not good at managing a household.
But the Dai family didn't care about that at all. They made the wedding exceptionally dignified, making their daughter-in-law feel comfortable.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. During the exchange of "change of address" fees, Zhou Yun gave out a large red envelope, and Chu Yu loudly called out "Mom!" making Qiao Shanshan even more envious.
What's going on? No matter what I do, I can't catch up with others. I thought being reborn was a great opportunity, but who knew that being reborn was just living life again, and it wouldn't necessarily make it better. Even if a fool is given a million chances to be reborn, she still can't grasp the true meaning of happiness in life, can she?
Qiao Shanshan raised a glass to herself, her heart filled with indescribable bitterness. As the bitter wine went down her throat, Qiao Shanshan's eyes blurred with tears, but in a corner unseen by anyone, she secretly wiped away her tears. She couldn't give up; life was still long.
Besides, Wei Mingyuan wasn't that bad. He treated her quite well. Knowing that she had suffered injustice in his hometown, he went to the department store in Beijing and bought her a dress and a set of skincare products, spending only a few dozen yuan. Wei Mingyuan also showed her affection.
Thinking about all this, Qiao Shanshan felt a little better. She realized that she was being too pessimistic. She had a long way to go in life, so what if Zhou Chuyu was doing well right now?
He might die in an accident!
They might get a serious illness and suffer inhuman torment.
If she, as his wife, were to die, would Dai Donglin stay by her side? Wouldn't he have already found a new wife? When Chu Yu's child is abused by her stepmother, and Dai Donglin doesn't remember her, no matter how successful she is in her career, all her money will belong to someone else.
Thinking about this possibility made Qiao Shanshan feel much more at ease.
The banquet was quite grand, and Zuo Ran even gave Chu Yu a large red envelope. Chu Yu raised an eyebrow and said:
"Not bad, a top-rated singer, can act, and can hold concerts to make money. She makes a lot of money and knows how to give back to her boss."
Zuo Ran snorted arrogantly, "How could I earn as much as you! I'm where I am today because of your support! We're classmates, and I was thinking that if you didn't marry my brother, I would definitely snatch you away. Now that's all hopeless, I'll just give you a red envelope and make you happy to be my sister-in-law!"
Chu Yu chuckled; Zuo Ran was quite the talker.
The red envelope was quite generous; this kid was really sincere. Chu Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I saw a movie I liked a few days ago. It's a movie produced by a Taiwanese director, aiming for awards—not just Hong Kong awards, but the Oscars!"
Zuo Ran was taken aback. He hadn't expected Chu Yu to push him to compete for an award. He knew what the Oscars were without Chu Yu needing to explain. He was a latecomer to the entertainment industry, originally aiming to be a singer, but who knew he would accidentally enter the film and television industry and become an actor.
Zuo Ran is quite talented in acting, and the reviews for the few dramas he has acted in are all good. I originally thought that making some quick money by filming fast-paced dramas and accumulating some good reputation would be enough. As a young actor, he has a bright future and can earn money endlessly.
To everyone's surprise, Chu Yu told him to aim for awards at such a young age.
Zuo Ran was a little surprised, "What movie?"
"It's a martial arts film. The director is good at making movies, and the production team is excellent. This movie has a grand scale and needs many big-name actors. He handed out scripts to many actors in Hong Kong, but this director isn't particularly famous, so many actors turned down the offers. When the script was delivered to me, I took a look and it was quite good."
It seemed a bit incongruous that Chu Yu was still discussing work on her wedding day, but she had always been a workaholic, and Zuo Ran sat down opposite her.
Are you sure I can act?
"What can't you act in? But my agreement isn't enough. You have to audition with the director and give him confidence. I'm thinking, you can finish this movie this year and then come back to make money. The movie will be competing for awards next year or the year after. If you can win an award, that would be incredibly lucky. Even if you don't win, if the movie you act in wins an award, your status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry will be unmatched and you'll be secure in no time! Our company can also have a good reputation with your help."
Zuo Ran agreed to read the script before going to the audition.
Chu Yu added, "I've prepared the songs for your next album. They're from our company's top team; you can choose any song you like."
Zuo Ran was a little annoyed. "I don't want to sing these conventional songs. I want to sing something different. I want to start a band."
Chu Yu didn't refuse. Zuo Ran was just like a child. It's like taking care of a child. If you refuse directly, the child will only get more irritable.
"Okay, you make this martial arts film. If it's good, I'll get you a band, a Hollywood composer, and a Japanese arranger!"
Zuo Ran's eyes lit up. "Are you sure? Actually, I can write songs myself."
“I’m sure! Zuo Ran, money is not a problem. Since you’ve chosen this profession, you still have to try to reach the top. You have a relaxed feeling that others don’t have. Oscar directors like this feeling. They don’t like actors who try too hard. This director is also good at discovering the strengths of actors. I have full confidence in you.”
