The Bully President and the Serious Wife

In the evening, Xie Zhenting took them out for dinner, again at a barbecue restaurant.

Mrs. Xie's eyes nearly popped out when she saw her son peeling shrimp for Xu Lu. It was totally unexpected...

Mrs. Xie realized that, indeed, one person would obey another!

Xiusi had always been the family's favorite, but that night, Xulu was the center of attention, and she was frustrated by the lack of attention.

Xiusi bit a chicken wing and looked at Xu Lu eagerly.

“Sister Lulu, can I be your assistant? I think it’s fun to work on the set. I have a month’s summer vacation, and I can intern with you. You don’t have to pay me.”

Xu Lu rejected her without hesitation. "No."

Xiusi is the spoiled child of the Grant family. It would be a joke if she became Lulu’s assistant.

In addition, Xiusi is Grant's sister, which is enough to determine that Xiusi cannot work for Xu Lu.

Xie Zhenting's face darkened. He stared at Xiusi coldly.

Xiusi pleaded, “Sister Lulu, I really want to go for an internship. Can you agree? You’re such a good person, you’ll let me do it, right?”

“I don’t take in minors.”

“I really want to…”

Xie Zhenting interrupted Xiusi and said, "I'll find someone to take you home tomorrow."

"Okay. Okay. I... I won't say anything more. Brother Zhenting is too powerful. If you want to get married, you have to be careful." Xiusi retorted and made a face in front of Xie Zhenting.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xie regretted bringing Xiu Si with her. The young woman obviously didn't know what to say.

Xiusi's phone rang. She saw the caller ID and happily answered the call, "Brother..."

Xu Lu and Xie Zhenting stopped eating temporarily.

"I'm having a barbecue with Brother Zhenting, Mrs. Xie, and Sister Lulu. It's a shame you didn't come peel the shrimp for me. Oh, by the way, remember when Sister Lulu came to my coming-of-age ceremony party? She was so beautiful during the photoshoot. I wanted to be her assistant, but she turned me down. Brother, please comfort me. I'm so hurt."

The atmosphere of dinner changed after that.

Back at the hotel, Xu Lu asked Mrs. Xie, "Do you want to sleep with me?"

She asked, thinking it would ease the tension.

To her surprise, Mrs. Xie nodded in agreement: "Okay? That's great."

"Tonight, I'm going to sleep with Xu Lu. You can sleep alone. Here's the room key."

Xie Zhenting grabbed Mrs. Xie’s hand. “Mom, don’t do that.”

Mrs. Xie forcefully pushed his hand away and said, "It's a happy decision."

Then she pulled Lulu toward the room and closed the door behind them.

Xie Zhenting lingered outside the door for a while, then reluctantly walked towards his room.

After taking a shower, Xu Lu jumped onto the bed and lay down.

Mrs. Xie said, “You’re an actor. Can you at least take care of yourself?”

Xu Lu turned around in bed and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean?"

“For God’s sake, use a face mask. You’ve been in the sun all day. Aren’t you going to put a face mask on before bed?”

Xu Lu closed her eyes and replied, “I don’t have the habit of applying a facial mask at night. After get off work, I’m exhausted and can’t wait to fall into my bed and sleep. Do you believe I can fall asleep in three seconds?”

Three seconds later, she fell asleep.

Mrs. Xie shook her head and went to take a shower.

She put on the mask and glanced at Xu Lu...she had an idea!

Xu Lu was sleeping soundly when suddenly a cold facial mask touched her face.

She woke up and opened her eyes. She saw the old woman. Her face was only a few inches away from hers and she was startled.

She took a breath. "Oh, my aunt..."

Mrs. Xie reached out and smoothed the edge of the mask on Xu Lu's face, saying, "Okay, go to bed."

Xu Lu reached out her hand and touched her face. She frowned - how could she sleep with this on her face?

That night, she felt warm in her heart. She never thought that someone would apply a facial mask on her.

Mrs. Xie patted her face gently and lay down. She asked casually, “You are filming with Qin Jingzhi. What do you think of him? I am his sister. I just want to know how he is doing. "

Xu Lu said: "He is very nice. All the actors like him very much. He is very polite and most importantly, he is very handsome."

Mrs. Xie's heart sank. "Polite" had never been a word to describe her son.

Mrs. Xie cleared her throat. “I saw him today. I’m concerned about him.”

"Yeah?"

"Although he's older, he's still unmarried. His family is very worried. I often play cards with his grandmother, and she told me they're speculating whether Qin Jingzhi is gay. Otherwise, why has he been in the industry for so many years without any scandal? His grandmother has a photo of him hugging another man. They look very close."

Xu Lu's eyes were so cold that she couldn't open them. This was big news. "Is this true?" she asked curiously.

Mrs. Xie nodded in affirmation. “Yes, it’s true. His grandmother told me many times that if I met the right girls, please introduce them to Qin Jingzhi. She wanted to arrange a blind date for him.”

Xu Lu shook her head, unable to believe it. "I never thought..."

She shuddered when she thought of Qin Jingzhi's flirting with her in the past.

"Is he really gay? Mrs. Xie is so kind, they are relatives, there is no need for her to say bad things about him."

"omg...she's never thought of him like this."

Mrs. Xie nodded in agreement. “Yes, I never thought he was like that. What if he really is gay? Any girl who marries him would be unlucky…”

“Auntie, you are right.”

“That’s why when Old Lady Qin asked me for help, I could only do my best to shirk it. I couldn’t bear to hurt that girl. If it wasn’t true, it would be a relief. But what if it was true?”

Xu Lu nodded. "Auntie, you're absolutely right. You're so smart."

Mrs. Xie blushed at the unexpected compliment. “I don’t think my son is perfect, but at least he doesn’t have sexual orientation issues. Come to think of it, he’s great, isn’t he?”

"Yes..." Xu Lu agreed.

That night, Mrs. Xie and Xu Lu chatted until three in the morning.

After a long night of talking, the two of them became close.

At dawn, Xu Lu went to the set with panda eyes. Mrs. Xie knocked on Xie Zhenting's door.

“Son, Mom has done so much for you. You have to seize the opportunity and start attacking.”

During the filming, Xu Lu saw Qin Jingzhi and gave him a strange look.

Qin Jingzhi looked at her with an uncomfortable look.

A few days later, the filming was over. He wanted to talk to Xu Lu, but was avoided. He was confused by her indifference.

That night, Xu Lu returned to Singapore.
