Chu Xiu didn't expect that she would meet an annoying person when she went out during the New Year. She stood at the door and turned to look at Dong Dongjian with a questioning look in her eyes.

Dong Dongjian waved his hands quickly and whispered, "It's not me. We just went outside to smoke. A regular customer of the club brought them here, and Brother Zhou called them here."

Chu Xiu turned her head back and said nothing, wondering how that regular customer happened to know that Lu Yuanzhou was here tonight?

Dong Dongjian was frightened by her look just now, and thought that the woman who could appear by Brother Zhou's side must be no simple person.

When Lu Yuanzhou saw Chu Xiu coming, he waved at her and motioned her to come in.

In the suite, Lu Yuanzhou was sitting on a single sofa, and Sheng Yi was standing three or four steps away from him. Next to Sheng Yi was Sheng Jie, who looked haggard. She only put on light makeup today and looked listless, having long lost her former arrogance.

In the original book, Sheng Jie was eventually beaten up by He Yihuan along with Yuan Chuxiu. Unexpectedly, after she traveled through time, Sheng Jie was the one beaten up by Lu Yuanzhou. This is quite a big change.

After Chu Xiu walked in, she hesitated for a moment, then walked straight to Lu Yuanzhou and sat naturally on the armrest on his right. Lu Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows to look at her, and also naturally put his hand around her waist.

When Sheng Yi saw Chu Xiu coming in, he greeted her with a smile. Before this, Sheng Yi was also the boss of an entertainment company, but now standing in front of Lu Yuanzhou, he was like a little brother and didn't dare to breathe.

"Boss Lu, I know my sister was wrong in this matter. Miss Chu is angry and can take it out on her however she wants. I will not stand in her way. I hope Boss Lu can help and stop the acquisition of Sheng's."

Is this to sacrifice Sheng Jie to save the Sheng family?

Chu Xiu did not speak, but Lu Yuanzhou said calmly: "But from the way she looks, she doesn't look like she is here to admit her fault, but rather to seek revenge."

Sheng Yi turned around and saw Sheng Jie's stubborn look. He almost fainted. He secretly patted her with his hand, and quickly turned back to smile at Lu Yuanzhou, saying, "She is just ignorant. Mr. Lu, Miss Chu, please don't bother with her."

Lu Yuanzhou frowned and said, "You are already in your twenties and still don't understand things? Are you a giant baby?"

Sheng Yi: ...

Sheng Jie: …

The room was heated up. Sheng Yi was so anxious that sweat started to form on his forehead. He said with a trembling voice, "Boss Lu, you are joking. I brought her here today to really make amends. You can beat her or scold her, and we will never say anything back."

Lu Yuanzhou looked up and asked Chu Xiu: "What do you mean?"

Chu Xiu curled her lips and said obediently, "You decide."

Lu Yuanzhou nodded and said to Sheng Yi, "Since we meet today, I'll make it clear to you. I've decided to buy your company. As for what I'm going to do with it, I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll just give it to my wife to play with. No matter who does something wrong, they have to pay the price. So when you do something wrong, it's best to first consider whether you have the ability to bear the consequences."

After Lu Yuanzhou finished speaking, without waiting for Sheng Yi's reaction, he held his sleeves and stood up, preparing to leave the room.

Sheng Yi quickly stopped him and said the next best thing: "Can Mr. Lu modify the plan? We can talk about cooperation."

Lu Yuanzhou said without turning his head: "There's no need." Then he decisively took Chu Xiu away.

Sheng Yi gritted his teeth in anger as he watched the two figures disappear from his sight. He had already thrown away his dignity to beg for mercy today and had prepared a bunch of conditions, but Lu Yuanzhou had no intention of not talking to him and just came to laugh at him.

It's really abominable. Is it great to be rich and powerful? Sheng Yi thought angrily.

Sheng Jie cried beside him, "Brother."

Sheng Yi glared at her, venting his anger on her, and said, "Shut up! When you go back, you'd better stay away from me. Don't let me see you, or I'll beat you to death!"

Sheng Jie: …

Chu Xiu was led by Lu Yuanzhou, and the two of them did not return to Dong Dongjian's private room, but went directly to the parking lot of the club. "Boring," he said.

Chu Xiu looked at the two people's clasped hands and thought that this development was really strange. In just two or three days, they had already gotten used to holding each other's hands.

"Actually, why do you have to acquire Sheng?" Chu Xiu asked curiously.

Lu Yuanzhou looked down at her and said, "I've said it before, if Sheng Jie messes with you again, I'll buy Sheng's and give it to you as a toy."

Chu Xiu: ...

Is it really just because of such a simple reason?

Suddenly, Chu Xiu vaguely remembered that this man seemed to be a villain in the book. It was just that she was too close to him and saw his lovely side, so she would easily ignore his original personality.

Sheng Jie also wanted to take secret photos of He Yihuan before, but after being discovered by Qin Zhige, he simply had her indecent photos leaked. However, Lu Yuanzhou did not give up so easily and directly bought Sheng's company.

Is this the difference between the protagonist and the villain?

Chu Xiu tilted her head to look at the man beside her again, thinking that even if he was a villain, he was still very handsome and cute!

Lu Yuanzhou must have felt her gaze, but he didn't look back at her. Instead, he said straight in the eye: "If you look at me again, I will kiss you."

Chu Xiu: ...

Is this considered teasing?

On the last day of the holiday, Chu Xiu went to terminate her contract with the company. Lu Yuanzhou asked Assistant Du to go with her and also brought a lawyer with her, as if they were not going to terminate the contract but to go to fight a war.

But the company obviously already knew Chu Xiu's background, and Zhao Xue was there to help, so the contract termination process did not encounter any difficulties.

The moment she walked out of the brokerage firm, Chu Xiu felt that the sky outside was especially blue and the sunshine was especially bright, as if foreshadowing her new life.

Chu Xiu thought, no matter how capable she was, it was really important to have a reliable man standing behind her. He could make her feel confident and powerful in life.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a look at the palm of her hand. However, it seemed that her confidence came from this lucky bag, and it might be taken back one day.

Chu Xiu Wu Yue was free and flew back to the crew with Ran Ran that night. Originally, she didn't want to bring bodyguard Lin Lin, but Lu Yuanzhou insisted that she do so, so she didn't refuse.

This time, Mother Lu took care of everything for Chu Xiu, so when she returned to the crew, she brought a lot of things to give away, most of which were expensive gifts. The girls in the crew were very happy, and they all kept shouting, "Sister, how can you be so nice!"

Although it was nice to celebrate the festival, the aftereffects were also quite serious. During filming, it was impossible to quickly reach the best condition. This problem was not only faced by Chu Xiu, but also by Gu Qinghe. The director was helpless and could only shoot some unimportant scenes for several days in a row to allow the two of them to find their condition.

During breaks, Gu Qinghe always held a mobile phone and chatted on WeChat, and when he chatted, there was always a smile on the corner of his lips. Chu Xiu studied it for a while and asked him: "Teacher Gu, are you in love?"

The elders in Gu Qinghe were shocked when they heard this. They looked at her warily with their phones in their hands and asked, "Are you spying on me while I'm chatting?"

Maybe because they have been filming together for a long time, they are not so cautious when talking. Chu Xiu said with a smile: "Do I need to peek? When you send WeChat messages, you look like spring has come, and pink bubbles are all over your body. If not love, what else can it be?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Xiu said, "Isn't there a line in Lolita that says 'There are three things in life that cannot be hidden: cough, poverty and love'? The way you look now, it's obvious that you've fallen in love!"

Gu Qinghe quickly looked around and found that there were only two assistants around him. He felt relieved and whispered, "Don't talk so loudly! I don't want to be exposed yet. You don't know that my previous relationships all ended in failure due to exposure!"

Chu Xiu nodded. "I didn't find out before the holiday. Was it during the holiday that the deal was reached?"

Gu Qinghe didn't hide it anymore and admitted generously: "I met him during the past few days when I came home. I think he's pretty good. Let's talk about it first."

Just as they finished talking about this topic, Chu Xiu's phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lu Yuanzhou. The WeChat message contained a picture of the dining table at home, which was filled with all kinds of food, and it looked quite rich.

Lu Yuanzhou, however, complained under the picture, saying: "My mother has nothing to do and spends all day studying cooking. Don't be fooled by the exquisiteness of these dishes. They are actually hard to eat. The taste is really hard to describe."

Chu Xiu thought about how Lu Yuanzhou looked when he ate these things, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. He replied, "It's rare that mom has the time to do this, so of course you have to show your support."

Lu Yuanzhou replied: "You are talking without any back pain while standing."

Chu Xiu burst out laughing, which immediately attracted the attention of several people nearby.

Gu Qinghe seized the opportunity and said, "Teacher Chu, your expression is too obvious. Even a blind person can tell that you are in love with someone. Please be more restrained."

Chu Xiu covered her face, turned to look at Ran Ran, and asked, "Is it obvious?"

Ran Ran nodded honestly, "Very obvious!"

Chu Xiu: ...

After the Spring Festival, Lu Yuanzhou's work was relatively easy. I went to work during the day and went home to spend time with my parents at night. But the two parents were also restless people. After the Lantern Festival, I packed my bags and went abroad. This time I planned to travel around the southern hemisphere.

For a while, Lu Yuanzhou became a lonely man again. Apart from work, he spent all his time playing with his mobile phone. After playing for a long time, he began to have a headache. Then he wondered if he was addicted to the Internet. He kept his mobile phone in his hand all day long and would take it out to check it whenever he had free time.

He was really bored that night, and Dong Dongjian happened to ask him to go out to discuss something. Lu Yuanzhou thought about it and decided not to bring his cell phone with him. He wanted to see if he could still live a normal life without his cell phone.

Dong Dongjian asked Lu Yuanzhou to discuss the matter of Chu Xiu Studio. Since Dong Dongjian had friends in the entertainment industry and was familiar with the entertainment industry, Lu Yuanzhou gave the matter to him. Although Dong Dongjian was usually not very reliable, he would naturally take Lu Yuanzhou's instructions seriously.

The other affairs of the studio were easy, as they could be handled by hiring some professionals. However, Lu Yuanzhou attached great importance to the selection of agents. Dong Dongjian had selected several, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

Dong Dongjian came to him that day to talk about this matter. "I have found a great one, but she doesn't want to just take an annual salary. She wants to invest and become a half-boss."

Lu Yuanzhou was a little reluctant when he heard this, but after reading the information Dong Dongjian brought to him, he hesitated again. Finally, he said, "You can invest, but half is impossible. You talk to her, at most one-third, and the final say must be in our hands."

Dong Dongjian nodded and said that this was natural.

After finishing their business, the two chatted about something else. Dong Dongjian smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you really care more and more about your sister-in-law."

Lu Yuanzhou was half lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, as if he didn't hear what he said.

Dong Dongjian asked again: "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you? You don't look right tonight!"

Lu Yuanzhou sighed and said, "I didn't bring my cell phone." Because he didn't have his cell phone, he couldn't help but wonder whether Chu Xiu had sent him a message.

Dong Dongjian didn't understand what was going on, so he asked, "Then do you want me to lend you my phone?"

Lu Yuanzhou ignored him and changed the subject, asking him: "What does it feel like to be in love?"

Dong Dongjian was stunned for a moment, then he sat up straight, came over curiously, and asked, "Why, do you want to fall in love? With my sister-in-law?"

Lu Yuanzhou glared at him in disdain, "Nonsense."

Dong Dongjian suppressed his laughter and said, "Brother Zhou, didn't you say before that falling in love is a waste of time and meaningless? Now you want to fall in love again?"

Lu Yuanzhou hit himself in the face. He was used to it. He said calmly, "I just want to ask you what it's like to be in love. Stop talking nonsense."

Dong Dongjian stopped trying to expose his past. After thinking for a while, he said, "What else could it be? He just thinks about her all the time, wants to kiss her, hug her, and sleep with her!"

Mainland China: …

Actually, all of them were correct, but there should be a difference between the going to bed he wanted and the going to bed Dong Dongjian talked about.

Dong Dongjian added: "Brother Zhou, this is the first time in all these years that I've seen you care so much about someone. If you like someone, you should grab them as soon as possible."

Lu Yuanzhou sat up straight, took a sip of wine, and nodded cautiously.

Chu Xiu had just finished filming and removed her makeup when Ran Ran whispered in her ear, "Mr. Lu's car is waiting for you outside."

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up, and she instantly became alert. "He's here? When did he come?"

"He arrived when you were shooting the last take, but he just called me and didn't come in," said Ran Ran.

Chu Xiu was in a somewhat excited mood. She quickly put the things she had brought with her into her bag, picked up the bag and walked out with exceptionally brisk steps. As she walked, she told Ran Ran, "You and Lin Lin go back to the hotel to eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

At this time, Lu Yuanzhou would definitely take her out for dinner if he came.

They hadn't seen each other for almost two and a half months since the Spring Festival. During that time, they had only exchanged WeChat messages at most and rarely even video chatted. Chu Xiu felt particularly conflicted, but after hearing that Lu Yuanzhou was coming, she let go of this conflict.

That evening, Lu Yuanzhou did not take her to the city center for dinner. Instead, he drove her personally to a villa community near the film and television city.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but when they met, that inexplicable ambiguity emerged naturally and couldn't be stopped.

When the car stopped in front of a villa, Chu Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Where is this?"

Lu Yuanzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and hers, and said, "This is our new home, come in and take a look."

Chu Xiu was stunned and followed him out of the car stupidly, "Did you buy it?"

Lu Yuanzhou nodded and stood in front of the steps waiting for her. As soon as she came closer, he naturally took her hand and interlocked their fingers.

"I just bought a hardcover." he said.

"Why buy this?" Chu Xiu asked.

Lu Yuanzhou looked at her and said, "Of course it's to make it easier for us to date."

Chu Xiu: ...
