Gu Xiao got out of the car. On that winter night, fog fell and floated in the air. The end of the road was hidden in the mist.
With a click, He Xihuai pushed open the lid of the lighter, and the bloody red flame flickered in the dark night. He held the cigarette between his slender fingers and slowly exhaled smoke from his thin lips.
If Theresa was afraid of He Xihuai before, now that his body was dominated by the most vicious personality, Theresa felt even more cautious and terrified around him.
"Sir, you..."
"I won't live long anyway, so I originally planned to train Gu Xiao as my successor, but this child is too soft-tempered. Wen Qiao is really good, really good. She is a perfect match. There is no one in the world who is more suitable than her."
Theresa's face turned pale: "But will Wen Qiao do as you wish? Even if she is willing, Fu Nanli will not agree."
He Xihuai's handsome face was hidden in the flickering light, and he chuckled, "I have something she has to have, so she has no choice but to listen to me."
Theresa nodded.
"It's just that I don't like the way she is now. She's not as weak as Gu Xiao, but she's also a person who values love. People who value love are not good. She should be more cold and cruel."
Theresa agreed and said yes.
He Xihuai raised his chin slightly and looked at her: "Do you really agree with my point of view?"
Theresa gasped, "Of course."
He Xihuai smiled particularly evilly: "So I like you for staying with him for so many years."
Theresa shuddered. She knew that her husband liked her to be obedient and quiet. She knew exactly what to ask and what not to ask, and she didn't touch any landmines.
It is worth mentioning that the film [The Mingli Middle School Incident Files] starring Zhou Tao achieved impressive box office after its release during the Christmas season.
The box office on the first day was 80 million. After that, as word of mouth spread, the box office continued to rise and finally stopped at 800 million.
These days, discussions on youth violence in schools seem to be very explosive. The ending of this film is very positive and thought-provoking.
Now, Zhou Tao can be said to have firmly established herself as a top female traffic star.
The celebration banquet was held at the Half Mountain Hotel in Xiaoxiangshan, which was Lu Wenzhou's property, but Zhou Tao didn't know about it. After all, she didn't know that Lu Wenzhou was the big investor behind the movie.
The crystal lights were swaying, and she was wearing a red off-shoulder dress, looking so bright and gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Lu Wenzhou, however, kept his achievements and fame to himself, and hid in a small private room on the second floor.
Lu Xu took a sip of champagne and said, "Second brother, why don't you tell me? They all said that Zhou Tao could be nominated for the Best Actress at the Golden Lion Awards for this movie. Even if she can't win the Best Actress award, she can at least win the Best Newcomer award. This is her first time making a movie, and she should know who is the mentor behind it."
Lu Wenzhou did not comment.
There was a knock on the door outside the small private room, and it was Wang Hui who came in: "Second Master, someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"Xue Chengbin, the third young master of the Xue family."
Lu Wenzhou frowned slightly, and Lu Xu said, "The Xue family suffered a change two years ago and chose the wrong side. Xue Chengbin, the third son of the Xue family, has been raising funds everywhere in the past two years, hoping to make a comeback. But you know, these days, who can become a business tycoon and is a little white rabbit? Everyone just said a few perfunctory words to him on the surface, and he couldn't raise much money."
"Oh? Is it because you are afraid of messing with his family or something?"
"There is this hidden concern. On the other hand, this Third Young Master is a playboy. When his family was still big, he just ate, drank and had fun. He is not a businessman at all. He has two older sisters, both of whom are married, so it is up to him to revive the Xue family."
