My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1628: Chapter 1629: Successfully Called Mom

No way, this circle is too big, with too many secrets. Besides some public secrets, not everyone in the circle can know all the gossip. Many circle insiders, like outsiders, also catch wind of new gossip as they emerge.

For example, this new favorite’s gossip has been savored by many within the circle.

It’s hard to tell if it’s a coincidence, but ever since this rumor started spreading, Jian Yao’s resources have visibly improved.

Not only have new scripts come to her door.

Magazine offers, big brand show invitations have all been rolling in, and she even snagged the endorsement for a chocolate ad coveted by many female stars.

With resources as ’evidence,’ the rumors of the new favorite began spreading more intensely in private within the circle. Yet everyone is wise enough not to spread it in front of the people involved directly. So when discussing this gossip, they avoid Star Media people deliberately. Therefore, despite the rumors stirring privately in the circle, few around Rong Yan have actually heard of them.

At the beginning of September, every high-class family in Capital City received an invitation from the Chu Family.

The Chu Family, along with the Lin Family and Zhong Family, have been in a tripartite position for a long time, standing as three towering mountains in high society. But compared to the Lin Family and Zhong Family, rooted domestically, the overseas-dwelling Chu Family has always been more low-key. This time, the Chu Family rarely sent out personal invitations, and every invitee gave face by attending.

From ten o’clock, Crown Hotel was filled with luxury cars, with a steady flow of traffic, gathering almost half of the elite circle.

In the presidential suite on the top floor, Chu Xi was surrounded by a few stylists, some dressing her, others adorning her with jewelry. She spread her arms like the most precious little princess in the world, just needing to enjoy everyone’s service.

Until...

"Chortle." A familiar derisive laughter came from behind, breaking the scent-filled room.

A man’s deep, hoarse voice came from beside her ear, "All of you, leave."

Everyone surrounding her carefully left, as if she didn’t exist, without asking her opinion at all.

Turning her head, Chu Xi saw a tall man against the wall in a black tailcoat, his deep-set eyes full of mockery as he gazed at her.

It was Qin Jun!

Chu Xi instinctively pursed her lips, slightly furrowing her brow, "What are you doing here?"

"To see if you sneakily wearing a princess’s dress will turn you into a real princess."

"..."

He moved away from the wall, striding towards Chu Xi with a sense of oppression, his presence overwhelming, "My dear little sister seems to be enjoying being the center of attention lately. I heard you recently outbid the Mayor’s wife at a charity auction spending fifty million to buy a pink bare diamond. And fighting with Madam Wu for a limited edition Lulu dress in the mall, also suppressing Bright Starry Sky... are you feeling that the life of doing whatever you want is too comfortable, so much so that you don’t want to lose it?"

Chu Xi thought she was very careful in suppressing Bright Starry Sky, yet he still noticed. She bit her lip, responding warily, "Today is my birthday, I don’t want to discuss this with you, nor do I need to explain it to you. As long as Mom believes me, that’s enough."

She had spent the past month selling misery, successfully changing Jiang Chenyue’s title from Mrs. Jiang to Mom. Even though there’s still the word "god" in front of Mom, Jiang Chenyue had never fully acknowledged her identity, but it was akin to tacit approval.
