How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 482 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (94)
boom.

Xie Ji gently rested his head on Zhu Wen's shoulder.

Despite his large size, he insisted on leaning on her shoulder like a little bird.

This posture is really awkward.

But Xie Ji happened to like it.

He sighed and admitted:

"Yeah, I've forgotten most of it."

Zhu Wen stroked his chin with one hand and supported himself on the bed with the other, his body naturally stretched out:
"Oh, what should we do then?"

His tone sounded somewhat troubled, yet also not so troubled, with a nonchalant air.

Xie Ji's heart was clenched:

"So...you'll take responsibility, right?"

He stared intently at Zhu Wen, afraid she would utter even a single word like "just playing around."

Zhu Wen lowered his eyes and smiled:

"It depends on your performance."

Xie Ji was very decisive:
"I'll listen to you from now on."

"Ah."

"I'm giving all my property to you."

"Ah."

"I'll listen to whatever you say..."

"OK OK."

Zhu Wen couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pushed Xie Ji away.

Xie Ji looked at her with a smile:
"So you agreed?"

Zhu Wen nodded helplessly.

"of course."

Given her personality, if she really wanted to sever ties with Xie Ji, she would have moved out of the Xie family manor long ago.

The reason I've stayed so long is to wait for him to speak.

Fortunately, he was quite proactive last night.

She was too proactive, insisting that she had forgotten everything last night and needed to review it today.

Zhu Wen saw how desperately he pleaded and, unusually, softened her heart.

The result is certainly not as simple as just a little "review".

At noon, Zhu Wencai came out of Xie Ji's room.

She happened to run into Xie Huan and Zhai Ling, both of whom stared blankly at Zhu Wen, who was wearing a bathrobe.

"Is it time for lunch?"

Zhu Wen asked softly, his voice slightly hoarse.
"I'll go back and wash up before coming out."

Zhai Ling and Xie Huan stood motionless, like two frozen sculptures.

boom.

The door was pushed open.

Xie Ji, also wearing a bathrobe, chased after him:
"Your phone... cough cough cough, what are you guys doing here?"

Xie Ji tried his best to remain calm, racking his brains to recall if he had dressed properly.

Zhai Ling and Xie Huan's gazes followed, noticing Xie Ji's messy hair and swollen lips.

The two sisters turned around in unison, like wandering ghosts.

"I'm going to eat."

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Then they ran off in one direction.

Seeing the two girls panic, Xie Ji calmed down instead.

"It seems I haven't seen enough of the world."

He said it with an air of seriousness.

Zhu Wen glanced at him.

Xie Ji quickly shut up and handed over his phone.

Zhu Wen took his phone and left. It was lunchtime.

Zhai Ling and Xie Huan were both a little embarrassed and tried their best to avoid mentioning what had just happened.

On the contrary, Zhu Wen was the calmest one at the whole table:
“Lingling, Huanhuan, now that you’ve seen it, I’ll just say it directly—we’re together.”

Zhai Ling and Xie Huan were so startled they almost dropped their chopsticks.

Xie Ji, who was laughing, suddenly asked in a deep voice:
"Do you have any objections?"

Even though the question was asked in a polite tone, Zhai Ling and Xie Huan could sense a hint of danger in it.

The two quickly shook their heads:

"No, no, of course not!"

Xie Ji suddenly laughed:

"By the way, I ordered two sports cars as gifts for you a while ago. They just arrived today and are in the garage. You can go and take a look when you have time."

Zhai Ling and Xie Huan were overjoyed, showering each other with congratulatory words as if they were free!
Xie Ji nodded in satisfaction.

After dinner, Zhai Ling and Xie Huan went to the underground parking garage to look at the new car, and Zhu Wencai flicked Xie Ji's forehead.

Xie Ji covered his forehead, smiling sweetly:

"This is a reasonable approach."

Zhu Wen was too lazy to argue with him.

Actually, there's nothing special about two people being together.

After all, apart from Zhai Ling and Xie Huan, everyone around them thought they were engaged.

As for all the employees of the manor, they learned that Xie Ji had moved back to the main building from the annex and was even staying in the same room as Zhu Wen.

Their thoughts were also: Ah, it seems the wedding at the manor is fast approaching.

Indeed, they were right.

Xie Ji had just gone from being Zhu Wen's nominal fiancé to his actual fiancé when he began to subtly and overtly inquire about the next steps in their marriage.

Custom-made wedding dresses have a long lead time, often taking several months or even half a year, and require advance booking.
If you want to customize any wedding ring, you have to start by choosing the main stone, and your assistant should keep an eye on major auction houses.
Popular wedding venues are in short supply, and even the flowers used in the wedding need to be cultivated and prepared six months in advance.
……

They listed a whole bunch of reasons, practically asking the question, "When are we getting married?"

However, Zhu Wen has only just begun her romantic relationship and doesn't want to take the next step so quickly.

Seeing Xie Ji's enthusiasm, and not wanting to spoil the fun, she declined, saying:
"Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival."

Xie Ji clearly misunderstood her meaning, thinking that they could start preparing for their wedding during the Spring Festival, and was overjoyed.

Until Xie Huan accidentally learned that Xie Ji was searching the world for the most suitable diamond to be the center stone of their wedding ring, which made all the major auction houses aware of his intentions...

She turned to Zhu Wen and asked if she had decided to marry Xie Ji.

Zhu Wen: "Hmm? When?"

Xie Huan felt immense sympathy for her uncle in her heart, but on the surface, she obediently nodded to show her understanding.

After telling Xie Ji the news, Xie Ji seemed somewhat frustrated, but he did not stop his various preparations.

In his words—

What if Zhu Wen changes his mind one day and is willing to marry him? We can't start making preparations at that time, can we?

Now that everything is prepared in advance, we just need Zhu Wen's approval, and then the wedding can be scheduled!

Xie Huan shook his head and sighed as he looked at his uncle's worthless expression.
-
According to the original plan, Zhu Wen was supposed to take a three-month break.

However, this rest plan was forced to stop because she had just learned that director Li Sheng's new film had been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and the entire crew would be walking the red carpet in February.

The Spring Festival had just ended, and Zhu Wen's entire team had to get moving ahead of schedule.

This is my first time attending one of the three major film festivals, so I'm sure I'll treat this grand event with the utmost care.

So even with the break, all the employees are still very happy that the boss is moving to the next level!
Meanwhile, the news also spread throughout the country.

[This movie hasn't even been released yet, how come it's already been nominated?]

[It's just a rumor... but it's not surprising given Li Sheng's situation.]

[Has everyone forgotten that the female lead in this movie is Zhu Wen? She just won a bunch of Best Actress awards, and another one is waiting for her.]

[Forget it, I'm numb now. I don't even dare to voice my doubts, for fear of being proven wrong.]

There are still some skeptics; let's watch them get proven wrong.

My sister Zhu is just great at turning the impossible into the possible!

Zhai Ling is really lucky! She couldn't even get into the film industry before, but now she's going to Berlin!
