Chapter 52: Everyone’s Idol (22)

Chuzheng met Xie Zhou backstage and saw Liu Manman following beside him with a frantic look. Liu Manman wanted to speak, but had no courage to do so.

Liu Manman caught a glimpse of Chuzheng coming over and hatred immediately gushed up in her eyes. It was all that woman’s fault!

‘Aiyo! Damn!’

‘Wasn’t she still well just now? Why did she suddenly cry!’

‘Does one have to act so shamelessly in life?’

“Gu Chuzheng, you did it on purpose!” Pearl-shaped tears escaped her eyes in an instant as she questioned Chuzheng.

Chuzheng calmly answered. “The highest bidder gets the item, you have money.”

Those three words ‘you have money’ pierced through Liu Manman’s heart. ‘How could she have money? That money belonged to Xie Zhou.’

Sixty million dollars…

It was not six hundred thousand! Not six million either!

“You purposely raised the price! Why must you do this to me!” She could not bear the burden of this mistake by herself. She finally found Xie Zhou so she could not be ruined by this woman.

Chuzheng said with a serious look. “Did I?”

Liu Manman’s face turned red from anger. “If you didn’t purposely raise the price with me, why did you bid so high?”

Chuzheng answered, “Is there a problem with having too much money, but nowhere to spend it?”

Liu Manman choked from her words and even Xie Zhou who stood silently by the side glanced at Chuzheng.

Too much money, but nowhere to spend… This reason was indeed irrefutable.

Liu Manman’s hands clenched into a fist. If it was not for Xie Zhou standing there, the anger in her would have exploded.

Liu Manman widened her beautiful eyes and glared at Chuzheng as though by doing this, she could seek justice for herself.

Chuzheng walked past her and Liu Manman wanted to stop her. But Liu Manman took back her hand as though she thought of something and stepped back while looking at her with a pale look.

Chuzheng’s fingers landed on the loose hair strands before her forehead and cooly plucked it off.

Liu Manman’s palms were full of cold sweat as in that instant, she felt a chill down her spine.

“Xie…” Xie Zhou had not waited for Liu Manman. Liu Manman could care less about what happened just now as she clumsily followed behind Xie Zhou.

After Chuzheng was done with the procedures and paid the money, she took the items and walked back to the car.

“For you.”

Chuzheng gave all the items to Su Jiu.

Su Jiu hugged the expensive items in astonishment. “…”

“These items are too expensive.” Su Jiu returned back to Chuzheng. “I can’t take it.”

These items had a high value, if he took it, how would she treat him? He absolutely could not take it!

“Then, let’s throw it.” It was too much and it would be too troublesome if she took it back with her.

Su Jiu was shocked. “…”

Chuzheng did not look like she was joking yet Su Jiu did not dare to throw it. He hugged that bunch of items and did not move as he was scared that he would break it.

Only when Chuzheng sent him back to the condominium, did Su Jiu move his stiff neck and turn his head. “President Gu.”

Chuzheng held the steering wheel. “Hmm?”

“What do you want from me?” Su Jiu’s eyes were fixed on her.

Chuzheng glanced to her side. “To make you think that I’m your friend.”

“…” ‘Why must he think that she is his friend?’ Su Jiu furrowed his brows. “Why?”

Chuzheng replied. “To not repeat the whole process again.”

“What?” Su Jiu only saw Chuzheng’s lips moving but he could not hear any sound.

[Warning: Little miss cannot reveal anything regarding the system and you. If you do that again, there will be a punishment~]

King’s tone seemed to be expectant of her making mistakes.

Chuzheng gripped the steering wheel tightly and squinted her eyes. ‘Bastard, damn you!’

“It’s nothing.” Chuzheng remained expressionless. “Go up.”

Chuzheng looked out of the window. He suddenly leaned over as his hands caressed Chuzheng’s face and kissed her lips with a hint of coolness.

The things on Su Jiu’s body dropped and his hand held Chuzheng’s wrist as he pressed her against the chair.

Chuzheng’s eyes looked at him calmly. When Su Jiu’s tongue stuck out and licked her lips, Su Jiu was harshly pushed back while a pair of hands strangled his white neck.

Warm and rushed breathing hit against Chuzheng’s back.

The two of them kept still.

After a long time, Su Jiu raised his head and his face showed a lovely smile. “President Gu, you’re hurting me.”

Chuzheng stared at him for a few seconds before slowly letting go.

Red marks appeared on Su Jiu’s neck as he touched his neck and pushed open the door to get off. “President Gu, good night.”

“Stop right there.”

Su Jiu froze and a hint of darkness slid past his eyes before he turned around and gave a lovely smile. “President Gu?”

“Take the things with you.”

Su Jiu looked at the items that were left beside the driver’s seat and he silently came back before taking the items with him.

He swiftly returned back to his condominium apartment. When he opened the door, his hands were quivering and only when he entered and closed the door, did his heart ease slightly.

Su Jiu leaned against the door and panted. The things in his hands dropped to the ground and made a light sound.

He slowly slid down to the ground and hugged his knees while his face was buried in his arms and only showed his pair of dark eyes.

The curtains in the living room fluttered around and the moonlight was cold and quiet.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. The clock on the wall continued ticking.

At that moment, he could hear his irregular heartbeat. Thump thump thump… Every beat was very clear.

Su Jiu sat there for a long time before he finally took out his cell phone. When he opened his contacts list, he saw that person’s name at first glance.

He paused for a moment before his finger swiped down to find Pei Yu’s name.

[Su Jiu: Brother Yu, may I ask for President Gu’s schedule?]

[Pei Yu: What do you need it for?]

[Su Jiu: President Gu has helped me a lot in the past, I want to thank her.]

[Pei Yu: The company is not responsible for President Gu’s schedule and she doesn’t have an assistant either… but I can help you ask around.]

[Su Jiu: Thanks, Brother Yu.]

Su Jiu turned off his cell phone and stood up to pick up the things on the floor. He brought them into his bedroom and placed them properly one by one.

“Gu Chuzheng…” Su Jiu muttered. Under the cold and dark environment, it looked a little creepy.

[Main mission: Please become an investor of “Flowers In A Mirror And The Moon’s Reflection In Water” in three days.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Liu Manman had invested in that drama’s production and stole the proprietress’ role in that drama again.

Not long ago, the director of that drama had contacted her for the female lead role yet before she agreed, the director had called and said it was taken.

Although there were some differences from the proprietress’ memory, the overall direction was still similar.

That drama was the year-end blockbuster and did not lack investors so with Liu Manman’s investment, they were even less in need of money.

So even if she threw in money, it was useless!

Bastard was fooling around with her!

How could she become an investor in three days?

How could she be an investor in a production team which did not need money? Use brute force?

[Little… Little miss…]

Chuzheng did not want to converse with King and chose to ignore it.

Why was spending money such a difficult task!

Chuzheng thought for a while and found the investors of “Flowers In A Mirror And The Moon’s Reflection In Water”. Indeed, getting rid of him was the best choice!

In the end, she still had to rely on brute force!

[Little miss, we are a legitimate system so we don’t do such things, okay? We only have to peacefully be a prodigal!!]

‘Why do we have to be so violent!’

King was going crazy.

It had only wanted her to spend the money peacefully and be a prodigal!
