Chapter 155 The old mother's intuition told her that things were not simple

On the way out of the cinema, Xia Anruo asked out of the blue, "What would you do if you encountered the same situation as the male protagonist in the movie?"

"What kind of situation? Are you going to die?" Chu Ze turned and looked at her in confusion.

Xia Anruo was so angry that she kicked him and said, "You are the one who is going to die!"

"Why else are you asking this?" Chu Ze asked curiously.

"For example, if, do you understand?"

"I don't understand. I only know that we live in the present. Now you are holding my hand and standing next to me. Why think about these useless what-ifs?" Chu Ze refused to answer this question.

This kind of question is like the question of who you would save first if your mother and I fell into the water. It is useless except for getting the answerer killed.

"If I died, I think you would be sad for two days and then find a new love." Xia Anruo curled her lips and complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person." Chu Ze retorted.

He is a very loyal person in love, and he will not say anything until he has cried for you for seven days.

"Who are you not?" Xia Anruo asked.

"I am a pure love person, how could I possibly find a new love?" Chu Ze spread his hands to show his innocence.

"Yeah, I wronged you. If you want to find a new love, you have to find someone who likes you. After all, not all women like doing charity as much as I do." Xia Anruo nodded and apologized deeply for her misunderstanding.

"I fucking..." Chu Ze's mouth twitched, and he was angry, "Believe it or not, I will..."

"Just what?"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Anruo raised her eyebrows.

"Just... prove that what you said is right." Chu Ze's desire to survive made him change his words immediately.

"Hmph, you know what's going on."

Xia Anruo clapped her hands and silently withdrew her powerful skull-splitting hand.

It's so scary.

If Xia Anruo was the heroine in the movie just now, I guess the male protagonist would be the first to die at the end.

So from this perspective, it is appropriate for him to ask this question.

Chu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the cinema and looked at the already dark night sky: "It's eight o'clock, shouldn't we go back to the hotel and go to bed?"

"It's me who's going back to the hotel, not us." Xia Anruo corrected.

"It could also be us." Chu Ze emphasized.

Xia Anruo didn't respond and handed all the things she had bought to Chu Ze: "Here, you can pass these to your parents for me and say hello to them for me."

"Shouldn't you deliver this yourself?" Chu Ze looked at the bags in his hands.

"How can I deliver it in person? It's so late now." Xia Anruo shook her head.

"It's only eight o'clock, my parents must not have rested." Chu Ze was very sure.

"No, no, it's not good to disturb them so late." Xia Anruo still didn't want to.

"You can also deliver it tomorrow during the day." Chu Ze suggested.

"Don't your parents have to go to work tomorrow? And I have to go back to the company for something." Xia Anruo still made excuses.

"Then the day after tomorrow, the weekend after tomorrow."

"I'm going home the day after tomorrow. I have a commercial performance the day after tomorrow."

"..."

If you don't dare to come to the door, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush.

Chu Ze twitched his lips, not bothering to expose her: "Okay, then what about the gift for Qingqing? Didn't you say you would bring her a gift when you come back?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, her gift is in my suitcase, and I asked Xiao Min to leave my suitcase in the hotel." Xia Anruo remembered after being reminded by Chu Ze.

"Well, we still have to go back to the hotel together."

"I can ask Xiao Min to send it over." Xia Anruo said as she was about to call Xu Min.

"Okay, you are really a rude person. You don't even let people rest at night. I'm really afraid that you will be hung on a street lamp someday." Chu Ze quickly stopped her. He couldn't stand the exploitative behavior of Xia Anruo, the unscrupulous capitalist.

They took a taxi to the business hotel Xu Min had booked for Xia Anruo in advance. Xia Anruo pointed at Chu Ze and said, "Wait for me downstairs. I'll take the gift down."

"No, is it that serious? I'm your boyfriend, why are you acting like a wolf?" Chu Ze was speechless.

Family members, who knows?
This girl always thinks I am greedy for her body.

It makes me laugh to death. I am really greedy, but I can't do it.

He's just too tired to go shopping. Even if you give him a chance now, he won't be able to do anything.

Taking advantage of someone's weakness is not the same as taking advantage of your own weakness.

"Aren't you the wolf that broke into the house?" Xia Anruo muttered.

"If I was so hungry, why didn't I eat you when we lived together in the apartment?" Chu Ze said unhappily.

Xia Anruo felt that it made some sense, so she took Chu Ze upstairs to get something.

It was already past nine o'clock when Chu Ze got a taxi back home. Chu Mingtao was still watching TV in the living room. Jiang Huiqin had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed. As for Chu Wanqing, there was no doubt that he was staying in his room playing with his cell phone.

"Why did you come back so late? Where have you been?" Jiang Huiqin, who had just finished taking a shower, came out and asked with concern when she saw Chu Ze open the door and come back.

"Didn't I tell you that some friends are coming over to visit today? I'll go and entertain them." Chu Ze changed his shoes and walked in, talking as he walked.

"Then why did you buy so many things? Did you go shopping?" Jiang Huiqin asked puzzledly when she saw Chu Ze coming back with a bunch of things.

"I went shopping, but these were not bought by me. My friend bought them for you," Chu Ze explained.

"Sent to us?"

Jiang Huiqin was stunned when she heard this, and watched Chu Ze hand her a square box with beautiful packaging, and then carry a bag of things and place it in front of Chu Mingtao.

"what is this?"

Jiang Huiqin opened the gift box curiously, and then a platinum necklace with a silver-gray glow suddenly appeared in front of her.

"This is... a necklace? Silver?" She was surprised.

"What silver, platinum?" Chu Ze corrected.

"Wow, this must be a lot of money, right? At least a thousand?" Jiang Huiqin was also shocked when she heard it. She picked up the necklace and weighed it, thinking that platinum jewelry is not cheap, and it can easily cost thousands of dollars.

"Thousands? If you add another zero it would be about right..." Chu Ze smiled.

"If you add a zero, wouldn't that be tens of thousands?" Jiang Huiqin's eyes widened.

At the same time, Chu Mingtao next to him exclaimed:
"Oh my god, four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. What kind of clothes are this that are so expensive?"

Jiang Huiqin looked sideways and saw that Chu Mingtao was also taking out clothes from the bag without even removing the labels. The prices on the labels made Comrade Chu look as if he had never seen the world.

This would make anyone who comes here look like an inexperienced person. How many people have ever seen such expensive clothes?
The key is that there is another piece of clothing inside like this one.

The total amount is tens of thousands.

What kind of rich friend are you?

If you just give something to others casually, the starting price is W.

"Are you sure this was given to us by your friend?" Jiang Huiqin was a little bit incredulous.

"Yeah." Chu Ze nodded.

"This is too valuable. How can I accept it?" Jiang Huiqin shook her head, closed the box, and was about to give it back to Chu Ze.

"It's okay. It's just a small amount of money for her. This is also a little token of her appreciation." Chu Ze didn't take it, but just stuffed the box back to Jiang Huiqin.

Jiang Huiqin pointed at him and said, "Tell me the truth, did you buy this yourself?"

"If I bought it, why would I lie to you?" Chu Ze said helplessly.

"What kind of friend is this? So generous?" Chu Mingtao couldn't understand it either. He had never met such a generous friend in his life.

"Who else could it be? An Ruo. How could a big star need this little money? You guys keep it." Chu Ze waved his hand and looked at the cosmetics in his hand for Chu Wanqing. "I also have a gift for Qingqing. I'll go find her first."

After saying that, Chu Ze walked straight towards Chu Wanqing's bedroom without waiting for Jiang Huiqin and Chu Mingtao to ask questions.

Jiang Huiqin and Chu Mingtao looked at Chu Ze's back and looked at each other.

"An Ruo came to our Ancheng?" Jiang Huiqin asked Chu Mingtao.

"I don't know." Chu Mingtao was also confused.

"Aren't you quite interested in that little girl?"

"I don't pay attention to it, and the news didn't mention it, so how would I know? Anyway, this guy and An Ruo are indeed quite familiar with each other. Maybe he just came here to play privately." Chu Mingtao spread his hands.

Come over to play in private?

Jiang Huiqin looked at the necklace in her hand with an inexplicable look...

Why does it feel like this relationship is a little unusual?

Her motherly intuition told her that things were not simple.

……

the next day.

Chu Ze sent Xia Anruo back to Ancheng at the high-speed rail station.

"Oh, we finally got to meet each other, but ended up staying for a whole day." Chu Ze sighed in front of the ticket gate.

Seeing Chu Ze's lost look, Xia Anruo smiled and stretched out her hand to straighten his slightly wrinkled collar: "Okay, I'll reward you well next time you come back."

"Really? How to reward?" Chu Ze's eyes lit up.

"Well... a sweet kiss reward." Xia Anruo thought about it.

"We don't have to wait until next time, we can do it now." Chu Ze said as he moved his face closer.

Xia Anruo pinched his old face with her jade hands: "The station is full of people, are you ready to be on the headlines tomorrow and have my fans send you razor blades?"

Chu Ze glanced at the people queuing up for security check and said, "Well, I'm scared, so I'll give you a hug."

Chu Ze hugged Xia Anruo's slender waist. Because she was wearing a mask, he couldn't kiss her secretly. He could only settle for the next best thing and kissed her crystal red earlobe.

"Be careful on your way." He whispered in Xia Anruo's ear.

Xia Anruo hugged Chu Ze. Because her sensitive ear was kissed, she could only lower her eyes and hum in a low voice.

Xu Min, who was pulling a suitcase at the side, watched the scene with gritted teeth, forming a classic Baixue composition.

No, she is not even worthy of Bai Xue.

She is a complete outsider.

I can only be a sour dog watching them show their affection.

It’s so sour that my teeth are about to break.

After saying goodbye, Xia Anruo and Xu Min took the high-speed train to leave Ancheng and quickly returned to Jiangcheng.

Liao Qing had already driven to the high-speed rail station in Jiangcheng and was waiting there.

Got in the car and headed back to the company.

This time, Xia Anruo came back mainly to discuss the preparations for the upcoming tour with Director Zhao Xiaosheng.

After all, it has been more than a year since the last concert. Considering Xia Anruo's popularity, it is indeed a bit abnormal that she has not held a concert for such a long time.

So now many fans are calling for An Ruo to start a tour.

The company also attaches great importance to this matter. After all, with Xia Anruo's level of popularity, any tour can bring the company a considerable amount of profit.

Moreover, touring is also an opportunity to increase a singer’s popularity and reputation, even though Xia Anruo no longer lacks these now.

When they got out of the car at the company gate, Liao Qing locked the door and caught a glimpse of the shiny watch on Xia Anruo's wrist. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did you wear a watch?"

She had never seen Xia Anruo wear it before.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Xia Anruo raised her wrist and smiled when she heard that, and shook the watch in front of Liao Qing.

"It does look nice. When did you buy it? I remember it wasn't there when you came back." Liao Qing curiously reached out and touched the dial of the watch. It looked quite high-end and probably not cheap.

"Chu Ze gave it to me." Xia Anruo raised the corner of her mouth, with an unconcealable smile on her face.

"..."

Liao Qing's hand froze as he touched the dial.

Well, I shouldn't have asked that.

Seeing Xia Anruo's peach blossom eyes, Liao Qing's eyes twitched...

You can't escape the disaster if you don't go to Ancheng, but how come I can still eat dog food after coming back?

Seeing Liao Qing's constipated expression, Xu Min felt better.

Finally there was someone to share the burden with, otherwise she would have almost died of stuffiness.

……

Director Office.

Xia Anruo and Liao Qing had just finished a meeting and returned to Zhao Xiaosheng's office.

"I hope you can determine the specific start time of the tour as well as the cities and shows as soon as possible. I already have a rough plan and I'll have someone send it to you to take a look. If there is no problem, we will arrange it according to that plan." Zhao Xiaosheng said as he sat down on a chair.

"Okay, I understand." Xia Anruo nodded and was about to leave with Liao Qing.

"By the way, that potato..." Zhao Xiaosheng thought of something and called Xia Anruo.

"What's wrong with Potato?" Xia Anruo turned around in confusion.

"The company wants to invite Tudou to sing a few songs and wants Tudou's contact information. I wonder if you can provide it." Zhao Xiaosheng asked after hesitating for a moment.

Today, Tudou's strength is obvious to all. Every song he wrote became a hit, and Xia Anruo's fame also rose as a result. In just one year, he became the most dazzling singer in the music scene.

Xia Anruo's success also brought Xinghua considerable profits, and it made a lot of money this year.

Obviously, the company is a little bit impatient now. After all, if it can get Tudou to sing a few songs, it will be fully capable of making a few more singers popular and creating greater profits.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. As Xia Anruo's agency, Xinghua naturally wants to grab Tudou, the cash cow.

"He doesn't like being disturbed. I can ask him about the song invitation for you, but it's not up to me to decide whether he is willing or not." Xia Anruo frowned and said with embarrassment when he heard this.

Liao Qing listened from the side, the corner of his mouth twitched and he wanted to laugh.

Pretending to be pretty similar.

It's not up to you to decide whether you're willing or not...

Isn't this just a matter of your words?
"Okay, then please help me ask first. The price and conditions of the song can be negotiated." Zhao Xiaosheng said politely.

If another artist had such great connections with songwriters and didn't tell the company, he would have been furious a long time ago.

But Xia Anruo is now someone he can't afford to offend. He is the company's cash cow, and as long as there is no conflict of principle or interest with the company, the entire company has to support him.

"I'll try my best. It's getting late. I'll leave first." Xia Anruo raised her hand to check the time and said perfunctorily.

"Ah."

Zhao Xiaosheng nodded.

Looking at Xia Anruo and Liao Qing leaving the office, he suddenly frowned.

The watch Xia Anruo was wearing just now seemed to be of the same style that she had seen somewhere before.
