Chapter 288 - 288 Troublemakers! (1/2)
288 Troublemakers!
When they got back, it was dark, and they parted ways after a small meeting.
Pei Huai brought Su Ji back to the Pei family’s house. Su Ji said that she wanted to go home and take a shower first.
There was no way to wash it in the village.
Pei Huai replied, “go to my room to wash up later.”
“Alright,” Su Ji said.
When they arrived at the Pei family’s house, Pei Huai watched as the servants prepared the bath for Su Ji and patiently told her how to adjust the water temperature. Then, Su Ji took a bath while Pei Huai went to the study.
When Su Ji came out of the shower, Pei Huai was also out. The dining table was filled with delicious food and drinks.
She arrived late and the Pei family had already eaten, so the food was all for her.
Pei Huai washed his hands, peeled a plate of prawns for her, cut up the steak, and let her eat. He still had to attend an online meeting.
He paused the meeting to serve her.
Su Ji laughed, “what are you going to do after this?”
Pei Huai’s gaze swept across the table, making sure that he had not missed out on anything.
He patted her head in relief, “I’m not done serving you.”
**
The Pei family was now used to seeing Su Ji there.
“You’re back,” Pei Xi sat beside her with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Su Ji put a piece of steak into her mouth and pulled out the chair beside her, “yes, I just came back.”
Pei Xi sat down and took a deep breath before sipping her coffee and asking her about the filming progress.
The two women chatted happily.
Pei Xi had already eaten dinner. She just wanted to chat with her for a while, but in the end, she finished an entire steak.
“It’s better than my husband’s cooking,” she said as she ate.
She said to Su Ji, “don’t be nervous when you meet our parents.”
Su Ji asked, “they are…very easy-going?”
“Em..” Pei Xi tapped her chin, “how do I put it?”
“They respect Pei Huai’s opinion, so you don’t have to worry.”
Su Yi was silent for two seconds, “sure.”
In the Shang Dynasty, two people would meet each other’s parents before they got together. This was a very important part.
Su Ji saw a lot of new messages appearing in her group chat.
Su Ji glanced at the screen and saw two things being frequently mentioned.
“Tonight’s Warmth”
“Zhou Xuefang.”
Then, she saw the headline that popped up on the Internet. “The crew of ‘Tonight’s Warmth’ had officially announced the second female guest in the 20+ age group, Zhou Xuefang.”
[ Pan Lian: “F * ck, Xuefang is really lucky this time. I still think Su Ji is more qualified.” ]
[ Meng Na: “I heard that Sonya personally recommended her.” ]
[ Tao: “She even said that she likes her the most in The Billion Stars.” ]
[ Pan Lian: “Is Sonya’s taste that bad?” ]
[ Meng Na: “Maybe Sky Entertainment helped?” ]
[ Pan Lian: “Come on, it’s not like we haven’t worked with Sky Entertainment before. Do they have this ability?” ]
[ Pan Lian: “The female star representing the 30+ age group will be a super big shot! Zhou Xuefang is winning big time without doing anything!” ]
Pei Xi glanced at her screen and smiled comfortingly, “don’t take it seriously. The crew didn’t choose you because they had no foresight.”
“I don’t mind,” Su Ji smiled. “But they said there is a big shot attending. I only care about that person.”
