Shen Shu sneered and let out a cold chuckle, âDid you ever imagine that I would be the one you ended up scheming against?â
Zhou Xiaoqiao broke down and cried. Between sobs, she said: âI was just so jealous of her. Why was she the one born with a healthy body? And, even if you never said it, I could tell you didnât actually hate her that much at that time.â
If she hadnât done something, Ruan Tian would have taken away everything she had!
Shen Shu just watched on with a faint expression, there was no fluctuation in his mood. Even when she cried, he didnât feel anything. Finally, he said, âStop crying. Your tears have long been useless against me.â
âTell your mother that the cooperation between our companies is over.â
Zhou Xiaoqiao was really panicking by now. She staggered to her feet, her face still like a pear blossom blooming in the rain as the tears trickled down, âBrother Shen Shu, just forgive me this once, donât you like me! ?â
Those words finally got Shen Shu to stop in his tracks. He turned back and said in his usual bland tone: âXiaoqiao, I donât want to make things too ugly. After all, youâre the one who will suffer.â
Zhou Xiaoqiaoâs face had turned completely white and she felt like she was about to faint. But Shen Shu merely turned and strode out of the room.
Mother Zhou hurriedly rushed in from the balcony wrapped in a shawl and asked, âWhatâs going on? Did you two have a fight?â
In fact, Mother Zhou had specially stayed out of the room in order to let the two children talk.
However, it seemed that the conversation hadnât gone well!
Zhou Xiaoqiao wiped her tears and spoke with red and swollen eyes, âMom, Brother Shen Shu doesnât want me anymore.â
She continued to sob and sniffle, then managed to choke up: âHe also said⊠that the cooperation between our companies would be stopped for now. â
Mother Zhou only heard the second half of the sentence and almost stopped breathing. Her familyâs company had only been going from bad to worse recently and was in urgent need of financing.
How could the already established agreement for cooperation disappear just like that? !
Mother Zhou stared into Zhou Xiaoqiaoâs eyes and said seriously, âWhat did you do to upset him? Do you know how important this cooperation is?â
Zhou Xiaoqiao shook her head and replied, âI really didnât do anything.â
âThen why did he come to find you like this?â
Zhou Xiaoqiao shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Mother Zhou was so angry that she felt her headache getting worse. Finally, she just waved her hand and said, âGo upstairs and get some rest for now.â
Zhou Xiaoqiao vaguely felt that she had caused a big disaster this time. She also sensed that Shen Shu probably wouldnât forgive her.
Because Qin Yu continued to come to the set to âoverseeâ things from time to time, Ruan Tian was forced to move her chair from its old place right next to the directorâs chair to a far away corner of the set.
She would rather sit facing a wall than sit facing Qin Yu!
By observing Qin Yu, she felt that CEOs of entertainment companies were all probably very idle. If they werenât, how could he have the time to come personally keep an eye on this film with barely any investment in it every day?
Qin Yu usually kept a fairly regular schedule so, on a day when he normally wouldnât come to the set until much later, the director wanted to have Ruan Tian and Shao Chengyue secretly film the bed scene in the script.
Before long, the set was properly decorated, the lights were set up, and the scene was ready to be filmed.
But who could have guessed that Qin Yu, this big boss who couldnât be refused, would suddenly arrive on set? He leisurely strolled over and directly sat down in the directorâs chair. He glanced around and saw how the set had been prepared today and let out a low chuckle.
The director reached up to wipe away some sweat that did not exist from his forehead, then smiled and said, âBoss Qin, youâre really early today.â
Qin Yu gave a faint smile, âIâm usually not afraid of being late, but if I were late today wouldnât I have missed this exciting scene?â
F**k, why were this manâs words always so prickly? The director silently lamented.
The director was in a dilemma. He didnât know if he should continue, or if he should just directly stop filming the scene. He felt a headache coming on.
Everyone stopped their work and looked at him in unison.
The director felt covered in cold sweat. Why did things have to be so f**king difficult?
Qin Yu looked at Ruan Tian, who was wrapped in a bathrobe with a small tube top that exposed her exquisite collarbones inside. He smiled faintly and said, âArenât you supposed to be filming the bed scene today? Go ahead.â
Ruan Tian wasnât someone who could take that kind of provocation lying down, so she directly pulled off the belt of the bathrobe and gave Shao Chengyue a look before shouting, âHurry up! ! ! I canât wait to film the bed scene! ! !â
Qin Yuâs face immediately turned green with anger.
