Chapter 844: Pretending Not To Know Each Other
“The female lead always appears last unlike us who come on time no matter what.” Susie commented. She was implying that Gu Huanhuan was acting like a diva, being late all the time.
Gu Huanhuan could not help but look at Susie when she heard her sarcastic remark.
However, Shen Weiwei spoke first. “Actually, Huanhuan was here early. She was just waiting for me. I’m sorry for making her late. But Miss Susie has also just arrived, right?”
Shen Weiwei did not like Susie’s tone. She had also just arrived, so why did she have to say that about Huanhuan?
Susie glared at Shen Weiwei before she turned to Wen Chi and the other guests with a smile.
The speed at which she changed her expression stunned them.
Shen Weiwei whispered in Gu Huanhuan’s ear, “Ignore her, let’s go sit down.”
Wen Chi recognized Gu Huanhuan the moment she walked in. If it weren’t for the other people in the room, he would have pulled her to sit beside him.
He felt very anxious when he saw her shocked expression. It was all his fault for not explaining things to her earlier.
What a small world. He never thought that he would bump into her like that.
“Huanhuan, come over here. I’d like to introduce you to a few friends.” The assistant director, who was Wen Chi’s friend, waved at her.
Gu Huanhuan had no choice but to comply. “This is Mr. Li, one of the investors of our movie. And this formidable person here is a well-known doctor, Wen Chi.”
The assistant director introduced the two men and then said to Gu Huanhuan, “You all know her, right? Our female lead, Miss Gu Huanhuan, who might win best actress someday.”
Gu Huanhuan smiled and nodded at them before she said humbly, “Hello, gentlemen. Thanks for the compliment.”
“I have faith in you, Huanhuan.” The assistant director said sincerely. He felt that Huanhuan was very talented but she wasn’t in the industry for fame and fortune. She just wanted to make good movies.
Gu Huanhuan smiled and placed her hands on her knees as she sat down next to Wen Chi because that seat happened to be available. She could feel the sweat on her palms, which was a sign that she was extremely nervous.
“Director, you’re playing favoritism. You only introduced Huanhuan like the rest of us are invisible.” Susie walked over and said coquettishly.
Gu Huanhuan felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Yes, and this is our Miss Susie. I almost forgot.” The assistant director slapped his own forehead like he had indeed forgotten to introduce Susie.
“Look at my memory. Now that I’ve introduced everyone, please get to know one another.”
Wen Chi’s face darkened. He pretended that Susie did not exist and kept stealing glances at Gu Huanhuan.
Even if he wasn’t dating Huanhuan, Susie wasn’t his type. She was too much of a show-off and she had such a high-pitch and coquettish voice, which he couldn’t stand.
Susie felt a little slighted when she saw Wen Chi’s reaction. Her charm didn’t work on him.
However, human beings were strange. We always wanted things that we couldn’t get.
The director introduced him as a doctor, and he did look refined and cultured.
A mature man who exuded a bad-boy aura always fascinated women more.
She also noticed his beautiful hands with slender and well-sculpted fingers.
At least, Wen Chi was her highlight for the night.
Such a handsome man was indeed different from the bald and fat sugar daddies she had met in the past. Susie felt her heart race.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing if this man was her boyfriend…
The more Susie looked at Wen Chi, the more she found him extremely good-looking, especially his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be magical.
