Chapter 77 Drama Queen Father and Daughter
This weekend, Xia Zhen parted ways with her beloved boyfriend once again.
She returned to the Xia family villa in a sullen mood, and then received news that she was going to have dinner with her father.
Xia Yu has been in a bad mood for the past few days because the production team of a drama called "Beauty of the City" rejected his investment. The person in charge of the other party said very tactfully, "After we released the news that Wen Yinghou would be playing the female lead, investors have been coming in droves."
In other words, they have no shortage of investors.
But who would complain about having too much money?
The assistant whispered to the manager, "Is this Mr. Xia? Is it really okay for us to refuse?"
The person in charge replied, "Do you believe that if we accept Mr. Xia's investment, our leading lady will quit the show?"
The young assistant was puzzled; being young, he simply didn't understand the loves and hates of those important figures.
Xia Yu, who hadn't gone far, turned around and glared fiercely at the two people.
The person in charge and his assistant shuddered and hurriedly said they had other things to do and left.
Xia Yu was known for his seriousness and lack of humor. This man was so serious that he seemed to have no sense of romance. Over the years, many women had tried to get close to him in hopes of marrying him and becoming rich, but Xia Yu was simply unapproachable. Not only was he unapproachable, but he might also break their teeth in the process.
Therefore, compared to other domineering CEOs who are often involved in scandals, Xia Yu is a well-known ascetic.
But this man, who is so reserved and has a hard time expressing his emotions, often becomes volatile and explosive when it comes to the matter of that actress Wen.
While driving, Xia Yu spoke in a casual tone, "I recently saw in the news that many women in the entertainment industry dress provocatively to please men in pursuit of their so-called dreams, and call it achieving their dreams. Zhenzhen, you must not have such bad thoughts."
Xia Zhen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was drinking milk to fill her stomach. Upon hearing this, she gave a perfunctory "oh".
Xia Yu thought to himself that his daughter was really clueless. He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, even if you want to be a big star in the future, it's not impossible. I'm very open-minded. Whether you want to act or sing, I can make you successful."
So if you want to pursue any dream, you can definitely ask him for help; he won't be stingy with that little bit of money.
Xia Zhen finally looked at her father properly. "Dad, I didn't say I wanted to be a big star. Even if I did, with Mom's status, connections, and resources, she could easily make me famous."
Xia Yu snorted coldly, "After all these years, she still wants to film some kind of hot spring bathing scene with three men and one woman with random guys? What kind of status does she have?"
Xia Zhen tilted her head. "If Mom didn't have status, would she have to film a bathing scene with three women and one man alongside other actresses?"
Xia Yu: "..."
His daughter's words were quite insightful.
Xia Yu glanced at him and said, "You talk too much."
Xia Zhen drank her milk through the straw, blinking innocently, "They all say I look like you, old man."
This sounds familiar.
Xia Yu felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
How could she be so infuriating!
But her ability to look completely innocent yet infuriate people is truly worthy of being his daughter!
A mysterious pride flickered in Xia Yu's eyes.
Xia Zhen glanced at it and felt that her domineering CEO father was even more strange.
Xia Yu brought Xia Zhen to a cocktail party hosted by a jeweler called "The Pearl of the Sea". The wealthy ladies usually love to buy from this brand, so many rich businessmen are happy to attend because of their wives.
As soon as they entered the bustling banquet hall, Xia Yu pointed to a necklace inlaid with pink diamonds in a glass display case. "I heard that's the most expensive one. Do you like it?"
Xia Zhen nodded with great interest as soon as she saw the pink color. "I like it!"
"I'll buy it and give it to you later."
Xia Zhen's eyes lit up with admiration. "Dad, you're so good!"
At that moment, the lively guests fell silent for a moment, simply because a graceful woman walked in through the door.
She wore a glossy black, backless evening gown with a fishtail hem, an exquisite tassel-embroidered shawl, and glossy black high heels. Although this was already eye-catching, she didn't seem satisfied.
Her bright red lips added to her allure, making her even more stunning with her exquisite makeup.
This woman spared no expense in amplifying her beauty to the extreme. Every time her high heels stomped on the floor, they seemed to be striking not only the floor but also the restless hearts of countless men.
"Ms. Wen, welcome!" The person in charge of the event greeted her with a big smile.
Wen Yu reached out and shook hands with the man, but the touch was brief, yet it made many people envious. She smiled, her red lips curving upwards, exuding charm. "I'm so sorry, I've been busy with things on set, so I'm a little late."
"It's not late, it's not late at all, we're too early!"
This person really knows how to talk.
Wen Yu is the embodiment of "a hidden gem", so naturally she has to make an appearance. As soon as she appears, the men admire her beauty, while the women secretly examine the jewelry she wears, secretly thinking about how to buy jewelry for the next season.
Xia Zhen was suddenly nudged on the arm, and she looked up.
Xia Yu said in a serious tone, "Zhenzhen, you are sick and feel very uncomfortable."
Xia Zhen looked speechless.
Xia Yu then said, "That pink diamond necklace."
Xia Zhen put one hand to her forehead, her body went limp, but fortunately her father supported her weak body and prevented her from falling. Xia Zhen covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
Xia Yu raised his voice a little and asked, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
This man really can't act. He wanted to show concern and urgency, but he still kept a straight face!
With no other option, Xia Zhen could only rely on her acting skills to make up for it. She said weakly, "Dad, I have a headache, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Waaah, do I have a terminal illness?"
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of others.
The person in charge noticed that the man over there was Xia Yu and was startled. Why did this President Xia come to the party without saying a word?
They knew that Xia Yu and Wen Yu didn't get along, so they didn't send Xia Yu any invitations.
Although he found it strange, the person in charge arrived promptly and asked, "Mr. Xia, do you need any help?"
Xia Yu said, "My daughter isn't feeling well. Is there a room available? I'll take her to rest."
The person in charge quickly said, "Please follow me."
Xia Yu helped Xia Zhen, who seemed to be terminally ill, leave.
He didn't glance at the woman even once throughout the entire encounter.
But this attitude of treating a great beauty as nothing only makes others unable to help but focus their inquisitive gaze on the woman.
Only a minority of people knew that Wen Yinghou had been married to that CEO Xia; many others were completely unaware.
Wen Yu picked up a glass of red wine from the tray held by the waiter next to her. She slowly took a sip, and even this simple and casual action was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
After only a moment, she put down her wine glass and smiled calmly at the others, saying, "Excuse me for a moment."
