Chapter 253 Stranger's Phone Call
To maintain secrecy, Zhou Pingchuan only invited a small group of mutual friends and acquaintances to the proposal ceremony, and security measures were very thorough. However, a hotel is not one's own home, and some customers and staff members who like to share inevitably took out their phones to secretly film the event. In the end, this grand proposal ceremony was still posted online.
Netizen:
[The rich really know how to have fun! To please her fiancé, she actually organized an auction! I couldn't come up with such a thrilling and romantic proposal even if I had ten brains. Jay Chou is awesome!]
If I remember correctly, they've already registered their marriage. Jay Chou didn't need to propose again, but he still did. What is this? This is love!
[Ahhhhhh, I'm going crazy with this! Who understands the Island of Never Sleeps! My love for you will never sleep!]
Damn, what the lady above said gave me goosebumps. I was indifferent before, but now I suddenly want to rave about it.
[Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions... I can't keep up, my CPU is about to burn out. How many zeros will their wedding cost? I can't figure it out!]
What's most enviable is that the items at the auction were just gifts Jay Chou gave to Mianmian; the wedding celebrations, banquet, and guests' accommodations and transportation weren't even included. If this were ancient times, Jay Chou would have used the entire nation's resources to marry Xia Mian, this bewitching concubine.
[Haha, it's just a show, but so many people actually enjoy watching it. It's so easy for rich people to make money.]
[Wait a minute, Yu Xingtong just released a video saying she heard Xia Mian say she wanted a divorce in a public place. Why is this not how I expected it?]
Sister, I almost forgot about this guy! This bastard keeps toying with me, treating me like a monkey!
[@Vania余星彤, I just want to ask, if you truly consider Xia Mian a friend, why do you repeatedly profit from his misfortune?]
I'd only ever seen Yu Xingtong on the runway before, and I thought she was incredibly beautiful and charming, even idolizing her. Who knew her character was so terrible? I'll never watch her shows again; I'm utterly disappointed.
[This is a fashion design student. Yu Xingtong has always been my role model. I still vividly remember watching her videos imitating catwalks. But she's caused trouble twice now, it's disgusting. I'm deleting all her photos and videos right now.]
[@Yu Xingtong [disdain][disdain][disdain][disdain]]
After the clarification video was released, Yu Xingtong was very happy to see the public opinion gradually turning around, and she smiled for the first time in more than a month.
Who would have thought that Zhou Pingchuan would suddenly propose at this crucial moment, and in such a romantic and sensational way? Her explanation was ruthlessly punctured like a bubble, and the netizens who had just spoken up for her turned around and came to laugh at her.
Yu Xingtong's gaze was fixed on the video that someone had secretly filmed. In the video, the man's expression was as indifferent as ever, but when he saw Xia Mian, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
Last time, she told her husband that Xia Mian had obtained something she couldn't have, but her husband didn't ask her what it was. Even if he had asked, she couldn't have told him.
In the early days of her career, she signed with a small, unregulated company. After an international trade fair, her agent said he would take them out to a party, but in reality, he took them to a dinner party hosted by a powerful figure.
Having never accompanied someone for drinks before, she panicked and almost tried to jump out of the window to escape.
It was Zhou Pingchuan who, after passing through the crowd, noticed the embarrassment of her unique Eastern face and called her over to keep him company.
A hero saves the beauty, a young talent; she thought they could create a beautiful love story together. Who knew that throughout the entire dinner party, apart from accepting wine glasses, Zhou Pingchuan didn't say a single word to her, and completely ignored her beauty.
After the drinking party ended, she was unwilling to give up. She mustered all her courage to ask him for his contact information, but he didn't say anything and simply walked past her and got into his car.
The two never saw each other again.
Later, after gaining some fame, she still harbored ulterior motives and contacted Zhou Pingchuan again through someone in the industry, only to receive a cold reply from his assistant: "Chairman Zhou never sees unauthorized personnel."
That was the person a young girl would only dare to think about cautiously in the dead of night when her heart was just beginning to flutter with love, but in the other person's mouth, he had become "someone else".
She was unwilling to accept this, and even after getting married, she continued to keep an eye on the Zhou family's activities over the years. Seeing that Zhou Pingchuan never dated, she felt much more at ease.
Until Zhou Pingchuan brought news of his marriage.
At first, she was just jealous, jealous of the lucky one chosen and accepted by the Zhou family. Later, she discovered that Zhou Pingchuan and Xia Mian's marriage was not a simple alliance or a marriage of convenience.
Zhou Pingchuan is very good to Xia Mian.
This discovery nearly drove her mad, and her jealousy escalated into hatred. So when Xia Mian said she wanted a divorce, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but spread the news everywhere.
As a result, Zhou Pingchuan not only didn't lose Xia Mian, but also gave her a grand and special marriage proposal.
The answer is obvious.
Zhou Pingchuan likes to hibernate.
Their love was incredibly beautiful, but she was like a rat in a sewer, hiding in the house all day, living a muddled life.
On what grounds?
Why should I give that right?!
Yu Xingtong slammed her phone back on the table, her hands trembling as she opened the wine cabinet, only to find it empty! She called her husband, asking him to buy her some wine, but he said he was away on a business trip and told her to calm down by herself.
She had no choice but to order takeout, but in this area, takeout would take almost three hours to arrive. So she curled up in front of the fireplace, which had been out of firewood for a long time.
Instead of alcohol, I received a phone call from an unknown number.
"Yu Xingtong? We're in similar situations, shall we chat?"
***
Xia Mian drank most of a bottle of red wine that night, and thought she would faint on the bed when she got home. She told Zhou Pingchuan, "If I fall asleep, please remember to wash my face. I have sunscreen on, and sleeping with it on is bad for my skin!"
The truth was quite the opposite; his body was very tired and sleepy, but his mind was like a party, extremely excited.
Unable to sleep himself, he wasn't about to let Zhou Pingchuan off the hook. Propping himself up on his elbows, he lay on his side on the bed and asked, "Brother Chuan, how many people are you planning to invite to the wedding?"
Zhou Pingchuan: "Whatever you say."
"But chartering a plane is so expensive! Are there places to stay on the island?"
"Yes, it's under renovation and more than halfway done. The wedding date is set for two months from now to make up for the shortfall."
“The only advantage of having your own island is that you don’t have to pay for accommodation,” Xia Mian sighed. “I’ve been to that area, and resources are extremely scarce. The islanders rely entirely on sea freight from nearby cities, and just buying vegetables and meat will cost a lot of money.”
"It's alright, I have a superyacht that can be used to transport supplies, so there's no need to worry."
It turned out that Zhou Pingchuan had considered everything he had thought of. Zhou Pingchuan was truly, truly dedicated to their wedding.
But this would make Xia Mian feel completely useless: "You've thought of everything, what am I supposed to do?"
Zhou Pingchuan: "No need, you just focus on being the groom."
"Alright," Xia Mian sighed, "After the wedding, I'll be a fully married man."
"Yes, you can have my baby now."
Xia Mian stared wide-eyed at Zhou Pingchuan: "You didn't drink that much tonight, so why are you talking nonsense? Men can't have babies, and I'm not some kind of bottom in a duo like Huang Wenli! Don't talk nonsense!"
"You really can't have children?" Zhou Pingchuan turned to the side, gently circling his fingers around his lower abdomen. "But just a few days ago, this place was full of..."
Xia Mian was utterly speechless.
"You can try to remember it yourself. I'm going to sleep over there." Xia Mian was still angry and grabbed her pillow, ready to get out of bed.
Zhou Pingchuan refused, turning around and pinning him down: "Changing rooms is fine... but first make the master bedroom dirty, then we'll change rooms together."
