Chapter 295 - 295 Su Ji's Epiphany
295 Su Ji’s Epiphany
This was the first time he did not reply for so long since she added him on WeChat.
Moreover, Pei Huai’s car was just next door, which meant that he was still at home.
Su Ji couldn’t explain what she was feeling, but it definitely wasn’t as good as the feeling she felt every time he replied to her within seconds.
After that, everyone drank some wine and the atmosphere became even more lively. Su Ji would look at the window next door from time to time. Pei Huai’s room still had the lights on.
When Tong Yingjie and the others left at midnight, Si Ke came to pick Wen Man up. The few of them had a friendly chat at the front door.
This was the first time Si Ke had seen Xu Mingzhi in person. She stood in the night wind with an aura and spoke with confidence.
Si Ki felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
After sending the guests back, Xu Mingzhi kissed Su Ji on the cheek. The mother and daughter chatted for a while before they went back to their rooms. Aunt Wu was cleaning up downstairs.
Su Ji did not know when Pei Huai had replied that night, but when she woke up the next day, she received a message from him.
[ Pei Huai: “If you like him, I’ll hire him to be a chef in the Pei family.” ]
At five o ‘clock in the morning, Su Ji lay on the bed with sleepy eyes and lazily replied him.
[ Su Ji: “You should hire him as a chef at my house. Then I can eat his cooking every day.” ]
This time, Pei Huai replied within seconds.
[ Pei Huai: “Then how am I supposed to trick you into going to my house?” ]
Su Ji smiled and glanced at the time on her phone.
[ “Are you not sleeping or did you just wake up?” ]
[ Pei Huai: “Just woke up.” ]
[ “Got to go now. I need to go to work soon.” ]
[ Pei Huai: “I’ll send you.” ]
[ “I need an hour to finish packing.” ]
She meant that if he didn’t have time, he should leave first, but Pei Huai replied, “I need 55 minutes, it’s just right.”
Su Ji put her phone aside and got out of bed.
An hour later, Pei Huai’s car stopped at the usual place.
When Su Ji got into the car, she had a slice of bread in her mouth and stuffed everything in her hands into her bag as she walked.
Pei Huai looked at her through the car window. After a moment, he couldn’t help but laugh.
In the past, she had at least eight people serving her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be like this.
When Su Ji got into the car, Pei Huai took the bread from her mouth. Su Ji glared at him.
Following that, Pei Huai took out a few boxes of sumptuous breakfast from the back seat and opened them for her. He had never given up on feeding Su Ji.
Then, he took the backpack from her hand, “you eat. I’ll help you pack.”
Su Ji looked at him and suddenly thought of what Xu Mingzhi had said to her last night when she was drunk.
She said, “Pei Huai is quite good. He’s different from your dad. You should try it and see how things go.”
Su Ji asked her what was different about him.
Xu Mingzhi just made a casual remark, but Su Ji felt that she was quite right.
She said that the way they spoke was different.
For example, in the morning, if it was Su Cunyi, he would ask, “do you want me to send you to work? Can you skip breakfast?”
Pei Huai said “I’ll send you.”
“I need 55 minutes, it’s just right.”
“You eat, I’ll help you pack.”
Actions were always more important than words.
Su Ji could somewhat understand the things that the women in the harem discuss every day.
It’s not about right or wrong, but there’s always a way that suits your preference.
It’s not boring to talk about relationships. It’s as fun as beating up a scumbag.
And she was quite lucky. When she just started to learn about this, she met the best one.
To her, he was the best.

Today was Monday, and the second last episode of “The Billions Stars” was to be shot this week. It was also the last episode before the new year.
Hence, the crew was full of joy. Huang Huayu was especially energetic because he could go back to his hometown again.
Su Ji had also given her students a break tonight. After this period of time, it was time to stop and let them rest so that they could train again before the calligraphy competition next year.
The revival of the Huajin script style was imminent.
After a few weeks of working together, Xu Ni and Si Jingchuan’s relationship… had worsened!
They would fight as soon as they met.
For example, at this moment, the two of them happened to get out of their respective cars. When they passed each other, Xu Ni wanted to stretch out his foot to trip him, but Si Jingchuan had the foresight to go around him. The two of them started to fight, and in the end, Xu Ni was pressed down on the table by Si Jingchuan in a compromising position.
Huang Huayu was holding a VR camera and shooting behind-the-scenes footage. He had shot a lot since the show started. The weekend before the new year was over, he would put together the material and make it into an episode. It would be a special treat for the fans.
However, as he aimed the camera at them, Xu Ni and Si Jingchuan started fighting again. He roared, “what are you two doing? Is it appropriate for two men to act like this? We can’t air it on TV even with this scene!”
His non-serious reprimand immediately attracted the laughter of the people around him.
Su Ji also laughed, but her laughter was different from the others’.
Only then did Xu Ni and Si Jingchuan unwillingly let go of each other. When they saw Su Ji, they rushed over to her.
Si Jingchuan asked, “boss, what’s your plan for the new year?”
Xu Ni: “Go away, I still have business to discuss with your boss.”
Su Ji looked at the two of them and finally pointed at Xu Ni, “let’s talk about business first.”
Si Jingchuan obediently took a back seat.
Recently, Xu Ni had helped Su Ji sell several packets of herbal cigarettes, and now she had to hire people to roll them.
However, Su Ji felt that the marketing was still lacking. After all, there was only so much one person could do.
She couldn’t think of a better way for the time being.
She’ll think about it when the time comes.
Xu Ni found Su Ji to be quite an interesting person. She looked lazy and violent, as if she did everything at will.
However, when she was serious about something, she seemed different. Her words were logical and precise.
She really wasn’t just a vase.
Zhou Xuefang was watching the three of them from afar. Her expression flickered as her mind was filled with the words that Sonya had told her yesterday.
Ever since Zhou Xuefang started her career in this industry, she had only been using others. She had never done anything for herself.
However, Sonya’s advice inspired her…
Han Junlei gathered the actors together and told them about the plot of the 12th episode that was to be shot this week.
In the second to last episode, the truth about Bai Yueguang’s father’s bizarre disappearance was finally revealed.
The trip to the village had been a foreshadowing. Later, Bai Yueguang followed the clues and found a transfer of ownership of her jade bracelet in the black market. That person showed the auction receipt of her bracelet and bought it at half price.
The bracelet was on Bai Yueguang’s wrist, but someone was able to carry out a transaction in the black market. There was obviously something wrong.
Later, with the help of Gu Shen and the police, the truth was revealed. It turned out that Bai Yueguang’s father had been killed three years ago when he was chased by debt-collectors. The culprit took the auction receipt of the Jade bracelet from her father.
This week, Su Ji had an important scene. It would be when she received a call from the police and learned that her father was confirmed dead. It would be a very emotional scene!
This was also the part where Bai Yueguang showed the most emotions in the entire series!
After listening to Han Junlei’s story, Zhou Xuefang was worried for Su Ji, “your parents are still healthy. It should be difficult for you to express this feeling, right?”
Han Junlei did not force Su Ji. “This part is very important. If you want some time to prepare, we can film it tomorrow. Today, we will film some emotional scenes between the three of you.”
Su Ji was silent for a moment, “let’s film it tomorrow.”
Zhou Xuefang smiled.
