Chapter 61: Ruan Ruan Takes Off Her Shoe to Smash the Bentley, Receiving a Death Glower from the Gloomy Man-A Pequena Namorada do Chefão Obsessivo é Doce, Fofa e Irresistível(Doce Xiaobei)

Su Ruanruan posted an explanation on her moments regarding why she accepted that sapphire necklace.

Not long after, several designers sent her direct messages.

They wanted to borrow this piece of fine jewelry for celebrities to wear on the red carpet or for magazine photo shoots.

In a short while, the schedule for this sapphire necklace was fully booked for the entire coming year.

Of course, Ruanruan had no intention of wearing it herself; isn't it wonderful to use it for networking~

Film set.

Ruanruan wanted to go find Lin Xiyue. Having not seen her for a few days, she wondered how she was doing.

That night at the Imperial Seal, she had noticed shocking and alarming marks on Lin Xiyue's body, which clearly looked like abuse by a savage and violent man.

However, since Lin Xiyue chose to keep quiet about it, Ruanruan couldn't very well drag her to the hospital for an injury assessment and call the police.

In the stairwell, Su Lan'er, wearing a hat, blocked Su Ruanruan's path.

"?"

Su Lan'er's voice was very calm and soft. "Big Brother should have explained it to you clearly; I didn't mean to wear that sapphire necklace on purpose."

Su Ruanruan's pretty, delicate, and flawless little face was hidden behind a mask, and her slender, dark eyebrows arched in a mischievous and whimsical manner, her gaze brimming with a sparkling, captivating spiritual energy.

Su Lan'er pressed her lips together, the emotions in her eyes gradually growing complex.

She deeply detested this look of Su Ruanruan's, because it was obviously the type that young master Li Shaojue would like and pamper.

Ever since the two of them had a massive falling out on the set, they hadn't seen each other for about ten days.

She hadn't contacted Li Shaojue, and surprisingly, Li Shaojue hadn't taken the initiative to look for her either.

According to her friends, Li Shaojue had recently been promoting a minor celebrity named Yu Feifei, and they even advised her not to pick fights with Li Shaojue anymore, lest her position be usurped by some little vixen.

Yet, Su Lan'er didn't care.

Because she had received far too many privileges and amounts of pampering from Li Shaojue; no one could possibly replace her position.

In the past, she had thrown even bigger tantrums at Li Shaojue, and in the end, hadn't he still obediently returned to her side?

It wasn't as if Li Shaojue had never gifted her high-end jewelry worth tens of millions; she simply hadn't wanted it.

Her inner confidence inexplicably surged, and Su Lan'er gave a faint smile. "I like blue gemstones, and the necklace's length is just right for my neck. Mom and Dad probably thought that a necklace suitable for me would surely suit you as well. After all, the two of us are of a similar age, and since you aren't by their side, buying something modeled after what suits me can't possibly be wrong. Ruanruan, why aren't you wearing that sapphire necklace?"

"I rented it out. It probably won't come back to me for about a year."

"What? That's fine jewelry worth fifty million, and you rented it out?!"

"Gu Jinzhou wouldn't let me wear second-hand goods. Besides, I was already sick of fine jewelry by the day I came of age; the fine jewelry Gu Jinzhou has bought me is enough to open a museum. So what if it's worth fifty million? Even if I didn't rent it out, I'd just give it to the cats and dogs at home to wear."

Seeing Su Lan'er's complexion turn pale, Su Ruanruan quickened her pace and left this flight of stairs, lest Su Lan'er faint and pin the blame on her.

In the end, she couldn't find Lin Xiyue, so Su Ruanruan had no choice but to ask the director.

Wang Shuang: "Lin Xiyue? She took a leave of absence. She's been asking for leave these past few days. If she keeps asking for leave, I'll have no choice but to ask her to leave the production crew."

Some celebrities insisted on filming even when they were sick; a minor screenwriter like Lin Xiyue dared to be absent from work for so many days—she probably didn't even want to stay with the crew anymore.

"Teacher Su, the crew is having a gathering at the Imperial Seal tonight. You should go attend as well."

"Ah?" Su Ruanruan widened her eyes. "I don't drink alcohol."

"Oh, come on, what era is this? The culture of pressuring people into drinking went out of style ages ago."

Imperial Seal, 7:00 PM.

Inside the private dining room.

All the males, including the director and the male lead, had accompanied the investors in drinking several glasses.

Although no one pressured the women to drink, Gu Tong proactively offered a toast to the investors.

Su Lan'er and the other two supporting actresses wore radiant smiles on their faces, while wishing they could stick needles into Gu Tong in their hearts.

Since she had proactively offered a toast, if the rest of them didn't follow suit, what would the investors think of them?

Su Lan'er had a strong background, but the two supporting actresses were afraid of having their scenes cut, so they also proactively offered toasts to the investors.

Gu Tong cast a sideways glance at Su Ruanruan. "Teacher Su, why aren't you taking off your mask? Could it be that none of the dishes on this entire table are to your liking?"

The investor had wanted to ask for a long time—attending a dinner party with one's face covered, did she have some kind of issue with him?

Su Ruanruan said regretfully, "I ate something bad at noon and got diarrhea. I ended up clogging all the toilets on the set."

Yue.

The investor clutched his chest and stopped looking at Su Ruanruan.

Ruanruan attended tonight's gathering not because of Wang Shuang, but because Gu Jinzhou was upstairs.

A text message popped up on her phone interface.

Gu Jinzhou: Come upstairs.

Su Ruanruan found an excuse and left the alcohol-heavy private room.

Gu Tong's eyes rolled, and she followed her out.

Upstairs was exceptionally quiet.

Gu Jinzhou sniffed the scent of alcohol on Ruanruan's body, then pinched her cheeks to inspect her teeth and oral cavity.

"Did you secretly drink alcohol?"

"No."

"Let me check."

A damp, hot, and fierce kiss landed on the girl's soft, full lips. After satisfying his craving, Gu Jinzhou held her in his arms and spoke with lingering tenderness.

"Darling, isn't socializing very tiring? Wouldn't it be better to stay home and play?"

"Each has its own perks, you know."

"Don't go back to the private room." Gu Jinzhou pressed his forehead against hers, his refined and handsome face gently nuzzling hers. "My side will break up in half a little over an hour. Stay here and keep me company, my little darling."

"...Gu Jinzhou, you're being so cheesy."

Hearing the three words "Gu Jinzhou," Gu Tong, who was hiding around the corner, trembled violently.

Gu Jinzhou!

The man being ambiguous with Su Ruanruan turned out to be Gu Jinzhou!

That legendary, wealthiest, and most mysterious tycoon of Xiangjiang!

At this moment, Gu Tong's mind was flashing like a revolving lantern. Although she didn't have any deep enmity with Su Ruanruan, there was no guarantee that the tycoon wouldn't fly into a rage for a beauty and have her blacklisted.

Inside a larger and more luxurious private room.

There was no smell of smoke, no smell of alcohol, just a few men in tailored suits playing cards.

In front of this group of wealthy second-generation heirs, Su Ruanruan actually felt much more at ease. She ordered a pile of food and drinks, took off her mask, and went wild devouring them.

Her fair and tender cheeks bulged slightly, making only a faint sound of chewing. Whenever she ate something delicious, her eyes would light up, making her look extremely obedient.

Gu Jinzhou's mind wasn't on the poker table; the ever-victorious general was distracted and lost three hands in a row.

Qi Siyan: "Still playing or not?"

Gu Jinzhou: "Not playing anymore."

Qi Siyan decisively and cleanly discarded the cards in his hand. "Then we're not playing."

He left the private room, his gloomy and tall back accompanied by a lingering sense of loneliness and desolation.

Gu Jinzhou and Su Ruanruan were a step behind. When they walked out of the main entrance of the Imperial Seal, Ruanruan saw Qi Siyan shoving Lin Xiyue into a car.

"!"

She jogged a few steps and threw her shoe at the Bentley Mulsanne that had just started moving.

The car stopped immediately.

Qi Siyan got out, his gloomy eyes staring fixedly at Su Ruanruan, his breathtaking yet melancholic face a mask of sternness.

Lin Xiyue clutched his arm, her eyes nervous, but her voice resolute as she said, "Don't you go over there! I won't allow you to hurt her."

She was such a frail and weak woman that he could have flung her away with less than thirty percent of his strength, yet her hands still easily grasped his wrists.

"I won't hurt her, but you'll keep me company for the entire night."

Gu Jinzhou held Ruanruan, who was missing a shoe, in his arms and instructed in a deep voice, "Babe, don't provoke Qi Siyan lightly. We can't manage the grievances between him and Lin Xiyue. Qi Siyan seems to have severe childhood trauma, which is why he is so ruthless in how he lives and acts."

Su Ruanruan cowered in his arms, terrified. "I smashed Qi Siyan's car with my shoe; he won't come after me for revenge, will he?"

"Not to that extent. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Ruanruan leaned against Gu Jinzhou's shoulder, squishing her face against him, looking a little depressed.

Judging from what Gu Jinzhou meant, Qi Siyan seemed very formidable. According to the plot of the novel, he would become one of Su Lan'er's suitors.

"Brother Jinzhou, if one day Qi Siyan or Li Shaojue wants to harvest my kidneys, can you stop them?"

"...Babe, what made you doubt my capabilities? As long as I have a breath left in me, they wouldn't even dare to entertain that thought."
