Part Two: East Soil Sugarcane Chapter 65: Huddle for Warmth

free will. If we set rules, we'll lose that freedom instead."Shū Tínglán, I really underestimated you."After drinking three glasses of water straight in the kitchen, this was the only thing he said wh...Xiao Cai was very dedicated and cared more about Mr. Gu and his wife's affairs than her own love, but in the end, she didn't get a good look from Mr. Gu.

He sat coldly behind his desk, not even glancing at him, only replying with a curt "I know."

Xiao Cai has been by his side for so many years, and he still doesn't quite understand his temper. However, Shan Shan reminded him: "You fool, you know YaoYao's schedule better than Shao Gu, you have the suspicion of showing off, would Shao Gu be happy"

To subtly hint something to someone while also respecting their pride is a delicate task.

Xiao Cai is actually very capable, otherwise she couldn't have worked alongside Gu Ruan Dong for so many years. But as time went on, their feelings grew apart. She simply lacked the romantic spark he had.

Wendy asked, "What should we do"

"Shan Shan replied: 'You're just saying that your Dongyang Film Company sponsored this charity organization and wanted to invite Miss Lu to participate. It happens that you can go back to Senzhou together after the event.'"

"But Dongyang Film & Television didn't sponsor this event."

Shan Shan: "It's not too late to sponsor now."

Xiao Cai only then realized that he had fallen into Shanshan's trap. Wasn't she afraid that their young mistress would be poorly treated at the event, so she wanted them to sponsor the Dongyang Film and Television Company, and by the way, give the young mistress some face They were all really shrewd!

Anyway, Dongyang Film and Television also sponsors various charitable organizations every year and wouldn't mind one more.

It's not that ShanShan is no longer popular, but Hao Jie realized her previous thinking was wrong. She didn't clarify the rumors of YaoYao's marital problems right away, so the outside world naturally assumed they were really getting a divorce. The "fallen heiress" persona only made fans feel sorry for her and couldn't convince capital to invest. That's why YaoYao got fewer resources than before.

It got even worse. Hao Jie only managed to secure a spot for her in this charity event after much effort, and she thought of letting Dongyang Film & Television support YaoYao to save face.

This public welfare event prohibiting the trafficking of women and children is themed "Let Love Go Home". It plans to establish a "Let Love Go Home" foundation through the event.

Besides inviting celebrities to increase exposure, the organizer also invited some prominent figures from Beijing's social circles.

Lu YaoYao has participated in many such events. Now she doesn't behave as naively as before, blindly throwing money around or craving attention. She just follows the crowd, donating the same amount as others, being very low-key.

At the event, seeing Xu Zhao whom she hadn't seen in ages, she unexpectedly felt a sense of sympathy. Startled by this feeling, she turned her head away, pretending not to see him. She wouldn't want to feel sympathetic towards Xu Zhao.

But Xu Zhao also saw her, carrying her skirt and walking towards her, even warmly greeting

"Yao Yao, it's been a long time!"

Xu Zhao was still the same, elegant and composed, as if the downturn in her career didn't affect her at all.

"Long time no see."

Lu Yao replied calmly, still acting aloof. Just like Xu Zhao, she wouldn't admit defeat even if she lost. She would never let her guard down and give others a chance to laugh at her.

Xu Zhao finished greeting and sat next to her. Lu Yao yao said with some disdain, "Can you move a little further away from me"

"" Xu Zhao was puzzled.

Lu YaoYao: "Two fallen aristocratic daughters sitting together, there's a suspicion of seeking comfort in each other."

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Yao Yao, why are you still so cute Then let's huddle together for warmth."

She refused to leave and insisted on sitting next to YaoYao.

Although Xu Zhao is no longer at the same level as before in the entertainment industry, she has a good reputation and high

Quality work supports it, so my business is doing pretty well now.

On the other hand, Lu Yaoyao is different. She's not as shrewd and charming as Xu Zhao. She's always been arrogant and straightforward in her speech, which has offended many people before, especially among the elite social circles in Beijing. Now, everyone in the circle is waiting to see her make a fool of herself, or hoping to step on her just to feel satisfied.

From the moment she stepped onto the stage, she was met with a barrage of stares. People seemed eager to find any trace of despair on her, but they were left disappointed. She remained dazzlingly dressed, every inch of her exuding extravagance.

Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Land's young lady has so many clothes that fill several walk-in closets even without taking the tags off. Let alone a year, she could wear different outfits every day for several years. When it comes to clothing or appearance, these socialites can't outshine her.

At this time, the event hasn't started yet, it's the peak of vying for attention. Several popular female stars and some so-called socialites all have their own circles, eagerly chatting away. Lu Yaoyao and Xu Zhao really had nothing to talk about, both sat upright with stiff backs waiting for the event to begin.

Whispers could be heard occasionally, perhaps spoken to her or just unintentionally.

"This time, it is said that Donghyang Film & Television temporarily provided sponsorship and signed an agreement to bear all the operating expenses of this foundation."

“His family is willing to spend a lot of money to promote their own artists. Liao Liao will be giving a speech on stage soon, calling for attention to the plight of women and children who have been abducted. It is said that the speech was carefully crafted by their creative department over several days, every sentence heartfelt, every word tear-jerking.”

Lu Yaoyao and Xu Zhao had a good understanding. They both looked at Liao Liao, who was sitting in front of them, and felt that this industry...

Newcomers are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Before you know it, they appear, and though they are under 30, they already have the feel of seasoned veterans.

Lu Yaoyao has been busy with family matters recently and hasn't paid much attention to industry news. She only just found out that Liao Liao is Dongyang Film & Television's newly promoted star this year, the female lead in a popular drama, and enjoys very high public recognition. She is still a college student, so her background is clean and simple. Of course, Dongyang Film & Television has invested heavily in promoting her, so she must have been thoroughly investigated and selected as someone with no blemishes.

The voice next to her continued, but Lu Yaoyao was sure it was said on purpose for her to hear.

"Everyone in their company knows that this LiaoLiao is a nepotism hire."

"Whose connections"

"Gu Shao."

"Mr. Gu's preferences are as always, he just likes this kind of innocent type."

Lu Yaoyao and Xu Zhao both unconsciously looked towards Liao Liao in front of them. Although they couldn't see her face directly, from the side, it was clear that she had a small face with three-dimensional features. Moreover, her aura clearly indicated that she had been doing ballet since childhood. Her swan neck was truly beautiful.

Lu Yaoyao mused: "She's quite innocent."

Xu Zhao: Does Gu Ruandong like innocent girls

Lu YaoYao: How would I know

His preferences are unpredictable. The girls he interacts with, from Xu Zhao to Yu Yu to Baosang, and now this Liao Liao, their styles are vastly different. Well, the only thing that's consistent is that they all have two-character names.

Xu Zhao: Don't fool me, I've already turned back.

Lu YaoYao was truly very calm, as if it were expected. Like how men tend to like college girls and young actresses, it seems just natural.

Xu Zhao: Your reaction makes me a little afraid. Is it because you trust Gu Ruandong too much, or are you just not caring enough Or is it something else about your marriage

Is the rumor true

Lu Yaoyao: Aren't you very smart Guess.

Actually, Lu Yaoyao herself didn't know how to react. To be more precise, it was probably numbness. Ever since she started being with him, there were always a lot of women around him, and she no longer knew how to react.ull well that Gu Ruandong might not adopt their outcome because he always felt they lacked decisiveness and ruthlessness. After reporting their discussion results, they waited for Gu Ruandong's respon...
