Chapter 50: Everyone’s Idol (20)
After Su Jiu was discharged from the hospital, he started filming for a new drama. Although he had no new works currently, his popularity had not gone down.
“Su Jiu, do you want some water?” A young and beautiful actress smiled and passed the drink to him.
Su Jiu gratefully accepted. “Thank you.”
The actress showed a brighter smile. “You’re welcome.”
“Brother Yu is calling for me. I’ll go ahead first.” Su Jiu found an excuse to leave.
“Ay! Su Jiu…”
Su Jiu quickly left the actress’ sight and threw away the drink when nobody was looking at him.
“Su Jiu, what are you doing here?” Pei Yu came to find him. “President Gu is waiting for you outside, hurry up.”
“President Gu?” Su Jiu froze momentarily. “I still have filming later…”
“It’s okay, I’ll tell the production team. Go ahead.”
“…Oh.”
Su Jiu changed his clothes and walked out of the filming set. He stood at the entrance and looked around. There were many cars parked outside, but none of them belonged to the car in his memory…
Su Jiu wanted to ask Pei Yu which car it was when a car drove over and stopped beside him.
The car window opened and the girl’s cold eyes appeared.
“Get in.”
Su Jiu sat in the car and asked in a lovely voice. “President Gu, what do you need me for?”
Chuzheng’s gaze stopped at his soft hair for a few seconds. ‘I want to touch it… I want to touch it! I want to touch it! I want to touch it!’
“President Gu?” Su Jiu tilted his head in curiosity.
Chuzheng calmly looked away and gave him an invitation card. Su Jiu opened it up. It was the invitation card for an auction… She wanted him to go?
It was obvious Chuzheng had not sought for his opinion as the time stated was today and the auction would start in less than two hours.
“Drink some water.”
A warm cup of milk tea was pushed into his hands. The weather had been cold recently and the warm milk tea was very suitable to drink.
Su Jiu instinctively accepted and held the cup of milk tea with both hands.
The car moved and sped through the road. He looked at the moving cars outside and leaned back on the car seat, relaxing his body.
Su Jiu glanced at the girl beside him. She looked very pretty indeed and was just a little cold, but internet users had already changed her name from goddess to President Gu…
Chuzheng glanced to the side and the two people’s gazes met. Su Jiu frantically lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea.
The aroma of the milk tea dispersed in his mouth. Su Jiu could not spit it out even if he wanted to and he paused for a few seconds before drinking the milk tea.
“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to drink it.” Chuzheng saw Su Jiu’s reluctance.
Su Jiu’s body froze as he forced out a smile. “I don’t… dislike it.”
Ever since that incident, he had dared not to drink anything others gave him.
Chuzheng went silent and drove the car seriously. Su Jiu bit on the straw and the milk tea slowly decreased.
Chuzheng stopped the car in front of a shop. Su Jiu looked out and did not dare to make a noise.
“Get out of the car.” Chuzheng passed a mask to him.
Su Jiu wore the mask and pushed the car door open before getting off. He circled over the car to Chuzheng’s side, but when he got up the stairs, he slipped.
Chuzheng was standing beside him and Su Jiu bumped into her. Chuzheng helped him up and said, “Be more careful.”
Su Jiu’s face turned slightly red as he stepped back. “I’m sorry.”
Chuzheng brought Su Jiu into the shop and when they entered, a person came out from a corner.
When Chuzheng and Su Jiu left the shop, the news had already spread online.
Gu Chuzheng and Su Jiu are rumored to be dating
The photograph was coincidentally the one where Chuzheng helped Su Jiu up. From the angle in the picture, both of them seemed to be quite intimate with each other.
[Bay Leaf in Moon: Cutie Su is radiating with cuteness! Ahhhhh!]
[Ten Years: President Gu is really together with Cutie Su?]
[Everflowing Water: I feel that they are a great couple together. A cold and aloof President with a cutie pie, it’s so cute! ]
[Flower blossom with Black Ink: No. Don’t you think that their gender role is weird?]
[Cutie Su is the best: Bleh! Don’t spout nonsense. How could our Cutie Su be in a relationship with others! Absolutely impossible! This is a publicity stunt! This is definitely a publicity stunt!]
[Falling Flowers: I support President Gu to be with Cutie Su!]
[Mighty Big Sister Chu: I don’t agree! Big sister Chu belongs to everyone!]
Su Jiu received a message from a staff member from the production team. As he read the message, his face turned slightly red.
There were both positive and negative comments. The positive ones wanted them to marry each other immediately while the negative ones kept splashing cold water at them.
“President Gu…” Su Jiu called her. “Someone sneakily shot a photo of us…”
“Hmm.” ‘Wasn’t being caught on cameras normal? What was there to be worried about?’
Su Jiu did not know what to say. “…”
Coincidentally, Pei Yu’s call came and Su Jiu immediately picked up the call.
Over the phone, Pei Yu asked about what happened and Su Jiu could only answer him honestly. Pei Yu hung up the call and called Chuzheng.
“President Gu, how should we settle this matter? Do you need me to clear things up?”
Previously, it was just rumors, but now both of them were in a photo together…
Su Jiu could not hear Pei Yu’s words and could only listen to Chuzheng talking.
He had not wanted to be related to her, but that was impossible to happen.
Everything he owned now was given by her.
But if she wanted to clear things up… Su Jiu touched his chest and felt a little terrible.
Su Jiu was feeling very conflicted now and had not known what was happening to him.
He was feeling as though he fell into a strange circle and could not walk out of it.
“Su Jiu?”
“Su Jiu?”
Su Jiu came back to his senses and met Chuzheng’s eyes. He scanned his surroundings and realized the car had stopped.
What had she said to Pei Yu?
Su Jiu realized that his mind actually wandered off and he had not heard anything…
They had reached the auction venue and Chuzheng brought Su Jiu in.
“President Xie, long time no see. How are you lately?”
Chuzheng turned back. Xie Zhou had brought along Liu Manman and was talking to a middle-aged man with a female partner.
Xie Zhou saw Chuzheng before Liu Manman and walked towards Chuzheng.
Following Xie Zhou’s movements, Liu Manman then noticed Chuzheng and her brows immediately furrowed while hatred filled her eyes.
‘Why was she here?’
“President Xie, have you considered the matter I spoke with you previously? Our company’s prospects are not bad, so…”
The man had a look of flattery and when he saw Chuzheng and Su Jiu standing at the doorstep, he had no intention of stepping aside. Instead, he quickly rushed forward and wanted to push Su Jiu away to free up the passageway.
Before the man could touch Su Jiu, he was suddenly strangled by a person and he immediately choked.
“What are you doing?” The man muttered. “Let go.”
“What were you doing?” Chuzheng reversed the question.
The man glanced in Xie Zhou’s direction and hurriedly said, “Don’t you see that President Xie is coming? Why are you still standing here and blocking the way?”
Not only was Xie Zhou a reputable person in the entertainment industry, but he was reputable in all commercial industries so it was normal for others to give way to him.
“I didn’t see,” Chuzheng boldly said.
“…”
The man was furious and in the next moment, the man had another thought. Was this woman doing it on purpose?
‘To attract President Xie’s attention?’
That must be it!
Nowadays, these women would do anything to go up the ranks.
However, this woman seemed a little familiar…
Chuzheng and the man interaction only lasted for a while before Xie Zhou spoke up. “President Gu, shall we go in together?”
The man was dumbfounded. ‘Did he say President Gu?’
“We are not that close. I refuse.” Chuzheng pulled Su Jiu along and left.
