Chapter 367 Me or the Little Boss, Who Would You Choose?
None of the procedures were rehearsed.
But the emcee was experienced, and everything proceeded smoothly.
The wedding ceremony of Fu Shengyang and An Xiaoyue finally came to a close, witnessed by relatives and friends.
The couple thus began a new chapter in their lives.
After the wedding ceremony, everyone returned to their seats in the warm indoor space.
Relatives and friends sat together, enjoying exquisite snacks on the table, while servants served tea at any time, providing attentive and meticulous service.
"Isn't that Chu Xiao, the rising star of Beijing? Did he come alone today?"
"I don't know. I've seen him surrounded by these people the whole time, so I'm not sure if he has any female companions."
"The Chu family is in such a mess. First, Old Madam Chu passed away unexpectedly, then there was the lawsuit with the hospital, then there was the busy transformation of Jianda, the fight with her sister over the inheritance, and then her father passed away. They're all exhausted. How could they have time to find a partner?"
"You're out of the loop, what are you fighting over the inheritance for? That Chu Ci isn't Chu Jinhuai's son at all."
"Huh?" The woman looked surprised and covered her mouth in astonishment. "Such an honest man, how could he have a cuckold's horns, and have been green for decades?"
"You should play less golf, don't you even read entertainment news?"
"What? What? Let me see."
The wealthy ladies in Beijing usually only have a limited range of entertainment options.
To maintain their relationship, they often get together for afternoon tea, chatting about fashion, health, and scandals in the industry.
They are the first to know about any disturbances or changes in any household.
The Chu family, however, is declining day by day and no one cares about them anymore.
But who knew that the young people in the Chu family would be so ambitious, directly transforming into a military-industrial enterprise and securing a lucrative career?
Chu Xiao, the eldest son of the Chu family, turned the tide and instantly became a rising star in Beijing.
"Sigh, you have a daughter, why don't you arrange a marriage with the Chu family? She can marry into the Chu family and the young couple can live a peaceful life."
The woman with a daughter curled her lip; she looked down on the Chu family.
“My daughter, I can’t bear to see her suffer. The Chu family mansion has been donated, and there isn’t a single servant. Where is the peace and quiet? She has to do all the dirty and hard work herself.”
"That's true!" the woman replied dismissively.
The idea of a marriage alliance was already deeply ingrained in his mind.
How could she give up so easily!
She could tell that Chu Xiao had a good relationship with Fu Shengyang and Ji Yubai.
With Chu Xiao by my side, how could I not be able to develop my career with Fu Shengyang?
With such good conditions, marrying a daughter into the family would mean that everything in the Chu family would be theirs for the taking.
The woman picked up her wine glass, cursing inwardly: "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; you deserve to spend your whole life eating other people's leftovers."
While someone was eyeing Chu Xiao, a group of people gathered together, chatting and laughing.
"Lingxi, you don't seem to be responding."
Hua Lan observed for a while but did not see Zhong Lingxi show any signs of nausea after eating.
Zhong Lingxi lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Grandpa Leng took my pulse and made Chinese medicine into honey pills. They are easy to swallow and relieve my discomfort. I eat very healthily and regularly every day."
Hua Lan was happy for her too.
When the mother is well-nourished and comfortable, the environment for the baby's growth will be fertile.
Zhen Zhen was unaware that Zhong Lingxi was pregnant, assuming that she was taking medicine to improve her spleen and appetite.
After looking Zhong Lingxi up and down, she affirmed:
"You've gained at least five pounds, so take less of your appetite-regulating medication. Sometimes vomiting is a self-protective mechanism of the body. There's a line like that in a TV series I filmed."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yubai rolled his eyes at her without any attempt to hide it, saying, "If you're ignorant, then shut up."
She's ignorant!
Zhen Zhen looked surprised, then her face turned red with anger.
"Openly calling artists ignorant? Is that something a small business owner like you should say!"
Ji Yubai even raised his chin, pointing his nostrils at Zhen Zhen, looking like he was in the right.
Hua Lan was in a complete mess, looking apologetic. This was all the "war" she had started.
She wanted to offer some advice, but didn't know how to interject.
Zhen Zhen stomped her foot in anger at Ji Yubai and turned to Zhong Lingxi to act coquettishly.
"Young boss, you need to do something about him. He has absolutely no respect for the company's female artists!"
this......
Zhong Lingxi was in a dilemma.
How did things suddenly escalate to the company level?
Zhen Zhen was unaware of the situation, and that's not wrong.
How can she manage it?
She could only quietly tell Zhenzhen, "I'm pregnant, it's not that I have a bad appetite."
"Ah! Really?" Zhen Zhen's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
Zhong Lingxi nodded, "Mhm!"
"Wow, the little boss lady is amazing! You should be the boss..."
Zhen Zhen was so excited that she almost blurted out the word "Mom".
Noticing that there were so many people around, and that she couldn't talk about her pregnancy in the first trimester, she held it in.
This kind of thing needs to be announced by the small business owner himself; she can't just say it offhand.
She was simply happy that her good friend had become a mother; she had no intention of taking the child's father's job.
Zhen Zhen stared at Zhong Lingxi's belly with great curiosity, her eyes practically sparkling.
How amazing, a new life is being nurtured here.
Life, what a beautiful and hopeful word.
"Mr. Chu."
Suddenly, another person appeared beside Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao had no choice but to stand up and greet him, "Hello."
The visitor looked at everyone present and asked Chu Xiao, "May I speak with you in private?"
"of course."
Chu Xiao took the wine glass from the servant's tray and walked away with the newcomer.
Hua Lan knew he was busy, so she didn't pay too much attention to his movements.
Her relationship with Chu Xiao should not be made public.
She doesn't have Xiaoyue's strong heart to withstand those fabricated stories.
All she wanted was to close the door with Chu Xiao and live a simple, ordinary life.
I have a job, I have money to spend, and I can save some money to protect myself from risks.
The two of them ate dinner together, and afterwards went downstairs to throw out the trash and take a walk.
This is the kind of undisturbed happiness she wants.
Ji Yubai saw that Zhen Zhen was still looking at Zhong Lingxi's belly, and thought that during the promotion period, he could create a screen couple with her to generate a lot of buzz.
But she was stubborn, her mouth was glued shut, and she wouldn't agree no matter what I said.
He seemed to really like children right now, and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks about Zhenzhen.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't get married or date? Why are you so obsessed with my child?"
Zhen Zhen scoffed as if she had heard a joke.
"Does not getting married or dating mean I can't like children? That's a fallacy."
Ji Yubai: "People will go through fire and water for things or people they love. You are in danger."
"I think the young boss has forgotten my contributions to Jincheng. He's ungrateful and betrayed me..."
Zhen Zhen only dared to speak to the Crown Prince of Star Cube because of Jin Cheng's help and her own strength.
She definitely wouldn't have dared to do this before.
"I can bring couples together, and I can break them up, believe it or not."
Ji Yubai glared angrily, "How dare you!"
"Oh, you've lost your confidence, haven't you?" Zhen Zhen clapped her hands and laughed gleefully.
Hua Lan watched in fear, worried that the two of them might overturn the table and cause trouble at Xiao Yue's wedding.
Zhong Lingxi, on the other hand, looked completely unconcerned and simply ate her dessert in silence.
The chefs at Fu Yuan are truly outstanding. The appearance of their desserts is the least important thing; the key is the sweet yet not cloying, silky and smooth taste.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Zhen suddenly leaned closer, a harmless smile on her face, and asked:
"Young boss lady, between me and the young boss, who would you choose?"
This isn't the first time Zhong Lingxi has answered such a pointless question.
Zhen Zhen appears to be a cold and unapproachable older sister type.
In reality, he has the mindset of a child and is quite the jokester, often catching people off guard.
Of the group of women, none of them, except for Xiaoyue, could handle Zhenzhen's unconventional thinking.
Now, she's started arguing with Ji Yubai again.
This time, Zhong Lingxi was smarter.
Without hesitation, she said, "I choose the most beautiful bride today, Xiaoyue, An Xiaoyue."
"No, it's just me and the young boss; there's no third option!"
Zhen Zhen acted like a child, unaware of how childish she was.
"Teacher Gao Qi!"
Hua Lan suddenly spoke up, calling out to Gao Qi, who was weaving through the crowd with a bewildered expression.
