My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 569: So, have you ever been moved?
Chapter 569: Chapter 569: So, have you ever been moved?
The more she thought about it, the more she knew she shouldn’t, so after the wedding banquet, Ou Jinchu cornered Bo Yan at the entrance to the outdoor banquet. Bo Yan, squinting, looked at the woman towering above him with impatience, "Who are you, what do you want?"
Ou Jinchu’s face changed colors, staring at Bo Yan in disbelief.
"You... don’t recognize me?"
"Recognize you as anyone?" Bo Yan didn’t know the meaning of treating women gently. He said whatever he wanted to say, leaving no room for face-saving.
The expression on Ou Jinchu’s face was complex, "Bo Yan, why pretend not to recognize me?"
Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, hands stuffed in his pockets, and uttered an "oh," half-closing his eyes, "Then you tell me, why should I pretend not to recognize you?"
Ou Jinchu was at a loss for words, how could she know that?
Bo Yan stepped back a few steps, keeping a distance from her, "I didn’t know the blind date was you. If I had known, believe me, I wouldn’t have even given you a call."
"You..."
"What about me?" Bo Yan sneered, "Miss of the Ou Family, don’t talk to me in that condescending tone. You’re not yet qualified. Am I someone from the Bo Family that you can point at and scold? You better think it through."
Ou Jinchu felt her face burning with pain at that moment as she questioned Bo Yan, "What about me do you think isn’t good enough for you?"
Unapologetically, Bo Yan responded, "Then tell me, what about you do you think is good enough for me?"
"I’m not saying I am perfect, but I am definitely in the category of excellent. If there’s something you’re dissatisfied with, you can mention it, and I can change." Ou Jinchu was not someone to delay her own ambitions for romance. She needed a mutually beneficial relationship, which is why the Bo Family was her best choice at the moment.
She had forgotten her original ulterior motives.
As long as she quickly dealt with Bo Yan, entering the Bo Family could then become a possibility.
Her objectives came to light easily and seemingly without worry of Bo Yan ridiculing her. Bo Yan laughed with a hint of sarcasm, yet not completely cynical, because Ou Jinchu’s perspective wasn’t wrong. The problem was, her approach was inappropriate.
This personal choice wasn’t something he could outright criticize.
But he just couldn’t bring himself to like this woman in front of him. Did she really consider herself so special? So incredible?
"Alright, let me phrase it differently, what can you contribute to a marriage?"
Ou Jinchu was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure, "Everything that should be in a marriage, I can cooperate with, anything."
"Including having children immediately?"
Ou Jinchu’s face paled, "Does it have to be that fast?"
Bo Yan then burst into laughter, his gaze carrying a mix of playfulness and sarcasm, "You can be assured of that point. I have no interest in you. Just thinking of having children with you, I can’t even begin to engage in the thought."
Having said that, he pushed past Ou Jinchu, feeling a surge of satisfaction within him.
Just earlier, she had been glaring at him as if he were a heartless scoundrel. What did she think she was?
The inherent coldness and ruthlessness of the Bo Family was fully displayed at that moment, as Ou Jinchu stood frozen, her hands tightly clenched, veins on her arms visibly bulging.
Though Bo Yan didn’t concern himself with showbiz matters, his siblings were in the industry, so he had to keep an eye on things. He might not understand everything happening there comprehensively, but he knew enough to support his understanding of why Ou Jinchu proposed this condition.
Tsk...
Bo San wandered carelessly toward the crowded area, leaving a trail of floral fragrance wherever he went.
The wedding was discreet, attended only by insiders, and not publicized externally. No outsiders were allowed to disclose it either, ending quickly due to Jian Dan’s pregnancy, as they worried it would tire her.
...
A week later, news arrived from "Miss Rose" that Yuran and the others had been waiting for. Xi Gu held a press conference announcing that he had secured investment abroad, adding three hundred million to "Miss Rose," insisting on precision and quality to ensure the audience enjoyed it thoroughly.
Additionally, the main cast of "Miss Rose" would undergo significant changes, especially the lead roles.
Though there might be some financial losses, it didn’t matter, he would take responsibility for that part.
The press conference was a success, at least in terms of making "Miss Rose" popular again, suppressing all the messy scandals that had previously surrounded it.
No one cared how Xie Lingling was doing, nor did they concern themselves with whether Ou Jinchu had successfully sued "Miss Rose."
Because all the reporters were caught up in one name, Catherine Hawes Lee.
She was well-known domestically and even more so internationally. With her immense popularity worldwide, she overshadowed Ou Jinchu. In the face of this superstar, Ou Jinchu was ridiculed as worthless, and some even mocked her for dropping "Miss Rose" and picking up something far less valuable.
Every day, she was ridiculed repeatedly.
Clearly, someone was setting the rhythm, stepping on her to boost Catherine Hawes Lee.
And she, having had old acquaintances with this international superstar in Hollywood, had frequently competed for resources, though she lost badly.
The timing of this shift, obviously driven by someone—no need to guess—was for "Miss Rose," which needed publicity and massive exposure. The celebrity’s inherent popularity naturally stirred up fame.
Now, netizens had even forgotten about "City of Temptation."
With everything moving favorably, Xi Gu felt confident and became more autocratic in company management, disregarding others’ opinions. He believed that, from every aspect, this gamble was totally worth it.
Seeing the bustling activities online, Yuran and Bo Yan were still being sweet at home, only occasionally discussing internet matters, but not focusing too much.
It was just mentioned whenever they remembered.
Yuran thought of something during a meal and asked Bo Yan, "Brother Qi, you’re quite familiar with this superstar, aren’t you? After all, you’ve collaborated so many times."
Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes, "What do you want to ask? Why not just ask directly? Beating around the bush isn’t good.
Yuran’s lips twitched, "What do you think I want to know?"
Bo Yan smiled, "Of course, it’s whether I’ve ever been attracted to such a beautiful woman, presumably."
"So you were attracted?" Yuran asked, her mood souring instantly, unable to maintain her smile, her lips pouting in annoyance.
Bo Yan smiled amusedly, the corners of his lips quirking up, "Jealous."
Yuran turned away, burying her head in her food, "I don’t want to talk to you. When she came back to the country, at the airport, she said she had a crush here, and the person she liked so much is you, right? Humph, I’m angry now."
Bo Yan laughed wryly, "Baby, be reasonable, I wasn’t proactive at all."
Yuran, "But she took the initiative to like you, can’t I be angry?"
"Okay okay okay, baby, whatever you say goes, I won’t argue, but I have to defend myself, I am innocent."
