Chapter 283 - 283 Can Su Ji be Any Cooler?
283 Can Su Ji be Any Cooler?
“Mom and dad are coming back?”
At the dinner table, when Pei Huai mentioned this matter, Pei Xi and Pei Song asked at almost the same time.
Pei Song said, “how did you know?”
Pei Xi replied, “I haven’t heard from our parents in a long time.”
Pei Huai said nonchalantly, “I heard they are coming back for work.”
As he spoke, he helped Su Ji wipe off a small drop of vegetable soup from the side of her bowl.
“Work?”
“What kind of work requires them to be here?”
Pei Huai had no interest in that. He just wanted to take advantage of their return to do one thing.
Then, he told Pei Qingshen about his plan to arrange a meeting between the two families.
Of course, Pei Qingshen was fully supportive. He smiled at Su Ji, “Pei Huai has never brought any girl to meet his parents. You’re the first!”
Pei Huai added, “and the last one.”
“Is there anything that your parents like? I can prepare them.”
That’s why he liked Su Ji.
Pei Huai smiled, “they like you. You can just bring yourself.”
Pei Xi nudged Bill with his elbow, “learn from him. Listen to what he said.”
Bill felt wronged, “baby, my dad likes you a lot too.”
Pei Xi said, “then, why do you tell me not to wear short skirts when we have dinner with your family?!”
Bill felt even more aggrieved, “baby, you know my dad. I’m just afraid that he’ll like you too much…”
Pei Qingshen coughed.
Bill scratched his head in embarrassment.
Pei Song laughed.
Pei Qingshen sighed, “my son and daughter-in-law are finally back. They didn’t even come back for my birthday. It’s good that they thought of coming back for the new year.”
He looked at Su Ji and said, “my son and daughter-in-law are very loving. They have been together for about 38 years.”
Then, he looked at the others, “you should learn from your parents and learn how to get along as a husband and wife. You should support and love each other…”
However, his speech didn’t seem to yield much.
The three siblings did not react and Su Ji did not say anything. This was because when they had dinner at her house on New Year’s Day, Xu Mingzhi also asked about their relationship.
Moreover, Su Ji could tell that the way the Pei siblings interacted with their parents was very different from how she and Xu Mingzhi interacted.
She and Xu Mingzhi only had each other, but it was obviously not the case for them.
At the end of the meal, Pei Song stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes, and went to the balcony.
After he picked up smoking again, his addiction was serious.
Su Ji was sitting by the balcony, so Pei Song happened to pass by her.
Su Ji asked, “can you give me one?”
Pei Song immediately became alert, “why?”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to part with the cigarette, but he just couldn’t afford to offend his third brother.
Su Ji replied, “I’m just doing some research.”
Pei Song glanced at his third brother’s warning gaze behind her. He gave her a cigarette and reminded her, “you must not smoke. If you do, Pei Huai will skin me alive.”
“Don’t worry,” Su Ji said, “I want to live to 120.”
Pei Song nodded, but he only realized that something was not right when he walked away.
He also wanted to live to 120!

In the next few days, CEO Wang worked with the advertising and the publicity department. He worked overtime to finish up the commercial.
Su Ji was studying tobacco at home, while Pei Huai began to search for a long-haired woman with beautiful eyes.
There was a rumor in the Pei Corporation that once CEO Pei found that woman, Ms. Su, who had been in the limelight for months, might have to step down.
What they said definitely made sense. For some reason, they felt that the mysterious woman and CEO Pei looked more like a married couple than him and Ms. Su!
As for the production team of The Billion Stars, after a few weeks, Zhou Xuefang’s scenes were still not added. Sky Entertainment tried to promote the scene of his character looking at Shen Qianqian with deep feelings. Many fans were swooned, but it was not enough to help Zhou Xuefang recover her scenes.
Today, they were filming an outdoor scene. It was a scene where Bai Yueguang came to the countryside to look for her missing father. Shen Qianqian accompanied her. Bai Ye also secretly followed her, so Zhou Xuefang and Xu Ni were part of the scene.
In the plot, Bai Yueguang was brooding over his father’s disappearance. Every time she saw the bracelet on her wrist, she would think of the time she spent with her father. A few days ago, she heard that someone had seen her father in this village. She didn’t care if the news was reliable or not and came immediately.
At this time, Shen Qianqian and Bai Yueguang had already developed a love-hate relationship. Although they liked the same man, they also admired each other.
To find the perfect location to film this scene, the crew sent out nine cars and drove for six hours to a village near A City.
Everyone would be staying in the village for one night.
Si Jingchuan wanted to tag along when he heard that. However, he was helpless because there were many mountain roads here, which were particularly bumpy. The journey was long, and he would get carsick due to his weak body.
He didn’t want to cause trouble for his boss, so he gave up.
It was already evening, and they had just finished filming for the day. The actors were making sleeping arrangements.
“Ah! Ah!”
“Go away, go away!”
There was a sudden commotion among the female extras.
Su Ji glanced in that direction and saw a black shadow that wasn’t shuttling quickly between their feet.
It was a big rat.
It was unknown whose room it came from, but the female extras were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Su Ji had been watching them shout for two minutes. They were so scared that they kept stomping their feet on the spot. But the more they acted like this, the more the rat wanted to run around their feet.
Just as Su Ji was about to get up, Xu Ni, who had just finished smoking, walked over first.
With his arms crossed, he casually looked over, “what is it that scared you so much?”
Su Ji knew that Xu Ni had a hard mouth but a soft heart. With him around, she didn’t need to go.
Who knew that the next second, when Xu Ni saw the figure of the big rat, he immediately joined the stomping crowd!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Disgusting! Why is it so big?”
That’s right, Xu Ni was also afraid of the big rat.
Sigh.
Su Ji sighed and got up.
She walked closer to the group of people and pushed aside the two people in the middle who were stomping the most. She stood in the middle and stared at the black shadow on the ground.
When the black shadow finished running one round and turned to her side…
Su Ji quickly stepped on the big rat’s tail.
The big rat was still trying to run forward desperately, but it couldn’t break free from Su Ji’s grip.
The surrounding people gradually stopped and stared at the big rat at Su Ji’s feet in fear.
Then, in front of everyone, Su Ji bent down and picked up the big rat’s tail. She swung it a few times quickly like a pendulum. The big rat, who was baring its front teeth, was quickly spun around. Su Ji walked to the side and flung it.
“Thump!”
The big rat bumped into a big tree.
It died at the age of three.
