Chapter 55: The Target of Focus
“Oh!”
Shen Xiumo responded and stood up from the sofa. Jiang Su was already almost at the door.
He glanced towards Huo Qingyan again.
Huo Qingyan was still standing there, motionless, watching the direction Jiang Su left, his face full of dejection.
Like a sycamore tree that had shed its last leaves before the arrival of winter, its vitality was gone, leaving only the bare trunk.
However, the cycle of seasons and the alternation of day and night are natural laws.
A withered sycamore, as long as there is still a breath of life, can wait for spring.
But Huo Qingyan might find it difficult to wait for that day.
Shen Xiumo did love to see Huo Qingyan’s humiliation, but Huo Qingyan looked truly miserable now.
He felt a little bit sorry for him.
He walked up to Huo Qingyan and patted him on the shoulder, “Take care.”
Huo Qingyan showed no reaction.
Shen Xiumo shrugged and turned to leave.
The presidential suite had a dedicated elevator, and the elevator lobby was right outside the door.
When Shen Xiumo came out, the elevator lobby was already empty, only the floor numbers on the elevator were constantly changing.
Jiang Su hadn’t waited for him…
To be honest, he felt that Jiang Su seemed to be getting more and more arrogant.
But thinking that Jiang Su didn’t even care about Huo Qingyan anymore, it seemed normal that he wouldn’t care about him either.
Shen Xiumo felt a little bit of comfort.
…
Shen Xiumo left the hotel and saw Jiang Su standing by his car smoking from afar.
“So you smoke too.” This was the first time Shen Xiumo had seen Jiang Su smoke.
Jiang Su’s voice, slightly hoarse from the smoke, was a soft “Mm.”
His tone was slightly low, sounding a little down.
Shen Xiumo thought for a moment, after Jiang Su said those things to Huo Qingyan, he probably wasn’t feeling too good either.
“Want to go for a drink?”
Jiang Su, whose hand was tapping the ash from his cigarette, paused, moved cautiously to the side, and coldly refused, “No.”
Shen Xiumo was essentially a shrewd businessman who wouldn’t work for nothing.
Who knew what kind of ulterior motive was behind a late-night invitation for drinks.
Shen Xiumo looked at Jiang Su with a look of suspicion, and explained with complicated emotions, “I saw you suddenly smoking, and thought you were in a bad mood…”
Shen Xiumo felt that this sounded a bit contrived, shrugged, and said, “You understand, right?”
Jiang Su looked at the cigarette in his hand, “I’m not in a bad mood. Huo Qingyan didn’t allow me to smoke before, now I can smoke as much as I want. I couldn’t be happier.”
Shen Xiumo: …
“Let’s go, I’m sleepy.” Jiang Su crushed and discarded his cigarette.
In the car, Jiang Su yawned several times in a row.
He was truly tired.
But Shen Xiumo was wide awake, curiously asking, “I didn’t know you could cook.”
Jiang Su yawned again, “Mm.”
“Wasn’t it because you were specifically learning for Huo Qingyan?” As the most pampered young master in the family, who would dare to make him cook?
“Mm.” Jiang Su impatiently urged him, “Drive faster.”
He felt that Shen Xiumo was talking too much tonight.
Shen Xiumo noticed his impatience, silently increased his speed, and didn’t speak anymore.
But his heart felt very sour.
Too sour…
What kind of luck did Huo Qingyan have to marry someone as good as Jiang Su!
They were both humans, why didn’t he have such good luck!
He also wanted to marry someone as handsome, intelligent, and skilled in cooking as Jiang Su!
…
Tang Juanzi’s scandals were like a gust of wind, coming and going quickly without leaving a trace.
Even if a few netizens still mentioned it, it was overshadowed by other hot news after a couple of days.
After the storm subsided, the production team arranged the last meeting before filming.
The location was at Huangsheng Media Group.
Everyone would be there.
Jiang Su had met the other guests in his group, and they had already clashed a few times, so they were familiar with each other.
The only person he hadn’t met was the show’s officially announced host.
When Jiang Su and Xu Mo arrived at the meeting room, most people were already there.
But the meeting had to wait until everyone arrived.
Jiang Su was bored, playing Landlord on his phone.
After losing two hands in a row, he heard Xu Mo whispering to him, “He’s here.”
Jiang Su’s attention was on his phone, and he casually asked, “Who?”
He had a pair of kings in this round, and he was sure to win.
Not winning is inhuman!
Xu Mo: “The host, Fu Jin.”
Jiang Su knew Fu Jin, “Isn’t he the one who announced his marriage one day and then posted on Weibo the next day saying he wasn’t getting married?”
Fu Jin hadn’t had much fame or received many shows in his early years.
Five years ago, he became popular due to the marriage incident, and his resources improved. Shows started to actively seek him out, and he had commercial endorsements.
Fu Jin’s hosting skills were solid, and he quickly became famous.
Xu Mo didn’t speak but secretly reached out and pulled Jiang Su’s arm forcefully.
“You’re pulling me…” what for?
Before Jiang Su finished speaking, he noticed Xu Mo constantly winking at him.
Following Xu Mo’s gaze…
Wow!
It was Fu Jin, the one who announced his marriage one day and then cancelled it the next!
Fu Jin seemed to have specially styled himself. He was wearing a clean white sweatshirt and a very unique necklace.
Perhaps because current shows love to use filters, softening facial features, Fu Jin looked younger and more handsome in person than on TV.
Jiang Su felt a twinge of awkwardness.
Fu Jin smiled and said, “You’re Jiang Su, right? I’m Fu Jin.”
“Hello, Mr. Fu.” Jiang Su put down his phone, stood up, and shook hands with him with utmost politeness, “Please take care of me.”
Fu Jin’s smile deepened, “Of course, it’s our duty as seniors to take care of our juniors.”
Jiang Su: …
He regretted saying “Please take care of me.”
Everyone knew Fu Jin was sharp-tongued and would be asked by the director to tone it down before the show.
The 《Divorce, Are You Happy?》 production team was so crazy that Fu Jin was here to unleash his true nature.
Shen Xiumo entered at this time, and Fu Jin said, “I’ll go say hello to Mr. Shen, we’ll chat later.”
“Okay.” Jiang Su watched Fu Jin turn and leave, his smile vanishing in a second.
Jiang Su turned to ask Xu Mo, “Do you think Mr. Fu will target me on the show?”
Xu Mo gave him a sympathetic look, “I think Mr. Fu has no reason not to target you.”
Whether for the show’s effect or for personal revenge, Jiang Su was the main target.
Jiang Su looked down at his phone.
The phone screen was still on the Landlord game page, showing that he had lost.
He could have won just now, but Fu Jin arrived, and he had no time to play his cards.
The system automatically played his cards, even splitting up his pair of kings.
A good hand was played to ruin.
Not losing would be a ghost!
Fine…
The system was targeting him, and Fu Jin would also target him.
If he wasn’t going to be a decent human being, then fine.
He wasn’t afraid.
