Chapter 467: Turns Out Her Backer Is...
Xiyan threw her arms around Ou Jue in a bear hug, her fluffy little head rubbing against his chest.But no matter how reluctant she felt, she still had to leave.
Yesterday ended early, and since Lu Sisi had a habit of morning runs, she had already finished jogging and returned to the hotel by 5:30 AM.
As the elevator doors opened and she was about to step out, she saw someone pushing open the door to Xiyan’s room.
Someone was coming out of Summer’s room!
Lu Sisi quickly ducked back into the elevator, waited for a while, and then cautiously poked out her head.
She peeked sneakily—
Oh my god.
What did she just see?!
A man who looked incomparably noble walked out of Xia Xiyan’s room.
The man’s figure was tall and upright, even his back view was ridiculously handsome.
He didn’t take the elevator but instead pushed open the stairway door and walked down.
As he turned to open the door, Lu Sisi caught sight of an astonishingly handsome side profile,
and her breath hitched—
That man... why does he look so much like the CEO of DT Group, Ou Jue?!
Aaaaaah.
Did she see wrong?
No, she must have seen wrong!!
Wasn’t Summer supposed to be kept by an old and ugly man?!
Then who the heck is this super-hot guy?!
Feeling all sorts of complicated, Lu Sisi returned to her own room.
-
On the film set.
"Cut! Summer, that was extraordinary acting!"
The previous scene had been one of Xiyan’s crying scenes.
One moment, Xiyan had been sobbing uncontrollably. But as soon as "cut" was called, she snapped out of it instantly.
"Thank you, Director Xu."
Qiaoqiao came over and said, "You don’t have any scenes for the rest of the morning. You can take it easy now."
"I know, right?" Xiyan stretched lazily.
She cast an inadvertent glance and noticed Lu Sisi looking at her.
Their eyes met briefly, and Lu Sisi even offered Xiyan a smile.
Oh dear lord, did she just see a ghost today?
Because of the previous "video incident," everyone on set knew about the bad blood between Xiyan and Lu Sisi.
But today, why did Lu Sisi seem off?
The way she looked at Xiyan had a hint of ingratiation.
Truly baffling, that woman.
At that moment, a man dressed in a black uniform, looking like a bodyguard, approached.
"Miss Summer, our Madame requests a word with you outside."
Xiyan turned her head curiously, "Who’s your Madame?"
"Madame Ou."
Shock widened Xiyan’s eyes.
No, no—don’t tell me it’s Ou Jue’s mom?!
Excuse me, can I choose not to go?
...
Clearly, that wasn’t an option.
At a certain café.
Xiyan pushed the door open and immediately spotted a stylishly dressed woman sitting by the window.
She bit her lower lip, then walked forward hesitantly, "Aunt Ou..."
Madame Ou glanced at Xiyan, her expression indifferent. "Sit."
The intention wasn’t clear, leaving Xiyan feeling nervous...
Her movements tentative, Xiyan sat down across from Madame Ou.
Madame Ou sipped her coffee while her gaze swept up and down Xiyan’s figure. "Quite a pretty young lady."
Huh??
Xiyan was stunned—what kind of tone was this?
Opening with a compliment?
"Thank you, Aunt..."
"Pretty is pretty, but that’s all superficial. I’ve never judged people solely by their looks," Madame Ou set down her coffee cup, her thumb idly rotating the ring on her finger. "The most important qualities in a girl are inner beauty and character. If someone’s character doesn’t pass the test, it doesn’t matter how pretty she is—I simply won’t like her."
