Once Li Tezhu got in the car, the driver started the engine and left.
Song He raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead before striding towards the front desk.
"Who was talking crap about Master Jiu here earlier?" he asked the receptionist.
The receptionist had never seen President Song like this before. He looked angry but his eyes were also filled with fear.
Recalling what had happened in the hall, the receptionist answered, "Zhou Zhiwen was here earlier. He said that the gentleman was a cripple and doesn't deserve to enter the entertainment industry."
"Zhou Zhiwen!"
Song He's eyes were filled with hatred as he made a call to Zhou Zhiwen's manager. He ordered coldly, "Zhou Zhiwen, ban him immediately... yes, right now! Ban him forever!"
Even after hanging up, Song He was still furious.
He had tried his best to please Master Jiu only for that idiot Zhou Zhiwen to ruin his plans!
...
INSIDE THE CAR.
Guan Xi was sitting next to Xiao Jiuyan.
This time, however, she wasn't feeling anxious.
She was in a good mood now.
She's going to be an actress!
Xiao Jiuyan's name really was beyond powerful.
Guan Xi was beginning to think that pretending to be Gu Wenxi and marrying Xiao Jiuyan might not be all that bad..
After all, many people in Tongcheng and even in Z country would kill just to have a relationship with him.
She had what everybody wanted.
She was the woman who slept beside him every night.
He's not bad on the eyes either.
Guan Xi recalled the way that the vile man back in the Emperor Shang's hall called her husband a fresh meat.
She secretly stole a glance at him. He was indeed fresh. In all the best ways possible. He was the best mixture of handsome and powerful.
She was normally indifferent to men's looks, but there was something so different about Xiao Jiuyan.
As If sensing her gaze, Xiao Jiuyan turned to her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Guan Xi immediately lowered her head. "N-nothing! Nothing."
"Do you find me good looking?" Xiao Jiuyan asked.
'Did he just ask that?'
She suddenly remembered that night from the Purple Night Club. Like an idiot, she had praised her husband for being so handsome.
From what she remembered, he had not been too keen on that.
It was obvious that he didn't like those kind of compliments. However, he was directly asking her about it now. How was she supposed to answer?
Her life literally depended on her answer.
Guan Xi said hesitantly, "Master Jiu, I think you are very good looking. Of course, not the kind that is feminine, but the kind that is especially manly!"
She gave him an ingratiating smile.
She knew that her husband didn't want people to think that he's too good looking.
So she made sure to give him a praise that would appease his manhood.
Xiao Jiuyan's swept across her face. "You have a glib tongue."
Guan Xi bit her lip.
Did she pass?
He didn't say anything else so she must've passed!
She was relieved.
"Master Jiu," Guan Xi called weakly.
"Hmm?"
"I... I just want to say thank you for arranging all of that for me."
Guan Xi felt that she should thank him for what he had done. She wouldn't have gotten such a good contract, or even any contract at all if it weren't for his backing. She had to express her gratitude so that he may continue his support.
With his help, she could do a lot of things in the future!
"It's nothing."
Xiao Jiuyan continued calmly, "You're my wife. As long as I can give you what you want, I will."
Her heart skipped a beat at his words.
'He'll give me what I want?'
'That's...'
'No, that's not right. He was talking about his wife. Gu Wenxi.'
However, she was not his wife. Not really.
Biting her lip nervously, Guan Xi asked softly, "Master Jiu... what if... what if i wasn't your wife? Would you still treat me so well?"
