Chapter 274
“I went to her company to ask. Her manager Meng Xun recently got fired and she doesn’t have any projects right now. I feel that Weiwei’s public exposure is too little. If the two of us attend this program and pretend to be a fake couple, it would be more convincing than her pretending to be a couple with other men. Besides, we didn’t do anything and have always maintained a proper distance. If Liting truly loves Weiwei, he should support her!”
Lu Lixing coldly replied, “This is between you and Lu Liting. I can’t interfere with it and I don’t want to interfere with it. But I still must remind you, regardless of how much you like her, you shouldn’t be in any sort of romantic relationship with a woman who has a boyfriend.”
When it came to Shen Weiwei’s boyfriend, Gu Shaoyu became disgruntled. Originally, he was a playboy who frequented bars and nightclubs and had seen all kinds of women. But as fate would have it, he met Shen Weiwei and realized he had found his true love. For the sake of Shen Weiwei, he stopped frequenting nightclubs and quit drinking. From that worthless second-generation rich, he changed into a proper successor who started focusing on his family’s business. Doesn’t that sound inspiring?
Even his grandpa praised him for his improvement during this period of time and all of this was thanks to Shen Weiwei.
Wasn’t there a saying that said, behind every successful man, there always is an outstanding woman? Gu Shaoyu had this thought more than once. If Shen Weiwei could be together with him, maybe he would be able to accomplish something big.
But in any case, Shen Weiwei had a boyfriend and he was Lu Liting.
If it was someone else, he could use money to settle things. But Lu Liting didn’t lack money.
Since that way wouldn’t work, he could only take an alternate path.
Recently he heard that Shen Weiwei’s work had reached a bottleneck and it was apparent that she needed additional resources. While Lu Liting relied on the Lu family's immense resources, Shen Weiwei wasn’t able to get anything good out of it. And this gave him a perfect opportunity to jump in and use this program to spend time alone with Shen Weiwei and get close to her.
As for the matter regarding Lu Liting, when it comes to pursuing women, wasn’t it all about one’s abilities?As long as they haven’t married, he still has a chance. And even if they’re married, they can still divorce, right?
Although he felt this way, while he was in front of Lu Lixing, Gu Shaoyu decided to tone down a little and obediently agreed.
“I understand.”
“I heard from the Old Mister Gu that you’ve entered the company?”
“Grandpa always says that I’m useless so I want to show him that his grandson can accomplish something big too! Weiwei is such an outstanding person, so how could I continue to squander my time in nightclubs and bars? I will definitely work hard!”
Lu Lixing glanced at him and didn’t answer.
Over at Lu Lixing’s side, they chatted for a bit and stopped. After so many years, their friendship from childhood had dulled. Lu Lixing had said all that needed to be said and gave all the advice that was needed to be given. If Gu Shaoyu still refused to listen, that was not his problem.
Meanwhile over at Ji Qingqing’s side, as she was accompanied by the store’s staff, a long blue-white dress caught her eye. She aligned it over her body and asked Lu Lixing, “Does it look good?”
Lu Lixing looked at it and got up.
Though this dress looked good, the shoulder area was squarish and the waist area tailoring looked somewhat stiff. When Ji Qingqing wore it, her good features: the hourglass waist and the clavicle of her slender neck all got covered up.
The previous time Ji Qingqing selected clothes was clearly etched in his mind. He held down her restless hands. “I’ll help you choose something.”
Ji Qingqing knew Lu Lixing had a discerning eye, but her judgment can’t be that poor, right?
“This dress looks good to me. Does it really look bad?”
“It doesn’t really suit you.” As Lu Lixing said this, he picked a couple of clothes in one go and gave it to her. “Go try these on.”
Ji Qingqing unwillingly looked at the clothes Lu Lixing had selected. From the looks of it, there are around seven or eight pieces. If she tries them on one by one, she’ll definitely get tired to death. She picked out two pieces. “Just these two then. As for the rest, we're not taking them.”
The store staff smiled politely. “Alright.”
While Ji Qingqing was trying on the clothes in the changing room, the store staff passed Lu Lixing an iPad that introduced the newest fashion items for this season. “Mr. Lu, these are our latest products for this season. If you like any of them, I can bring it over and show it to you. Also, this is the clothing that you asked for from yesterday’s call. I’ve already packaged it for you.”
Lu Lixing nodded and swiped a few times on the iPad. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. It’s what we are here for.”
Then, a short scream was heard from the changing room.
