Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 212 - Tonight's Harvest Seemed To Be Doing Well, Except For One...

Madam Su heard her and pinched her daughter. She was afraid that Su An would say things out loud and humiliate themselves in front of everyone.

However, since this was her daughter, she still had to show her some excitement and replied, "Wait patiently Xiao An. If you truly want him, you should work hard to impress him tonight."

Though she heard of the rumors that Lisa had already found a woman he was interested in, Madam Su still held some thoughts for her daughter. Even if Lisa had met a woman he liked, that doesn't mean he would stick with one person, right?

How many men stayed faithful to the woman they liked in their circle? How many men kept several women in their arms? And how many men wanted only one person in their whole life?

Madam Su was sure that Lisa would slowly grow bored of the woman he had shown interest in and look for a new and more exciting person to be with.

And so, her desire to push her daughter to him intensified. It doesn't matter if Su An caught his heart or just his temporary attention. For as long as they could benefit from it, nothing else mattered.

Jennie already saw Lisa stepping into the banquet hall together with the Su family. Since she currently holds a unique identity as an actress and not his wife, she pretended they were strangers.

Of course, it was another matter if someone mentioned their entanglement during the Old Patriarch's party or if Lisa chose to go to her and publicly let everyone know about them.

However, at this moment, she would like to stay hidden as much as possible.

This was the first time in years since she attended Hunting Season. The first few times happened when she was still at her peak. Now, she was just as unpopular as a newcomer who got lucky to get invited to the party and didn't hold much to her name as an actress.

Zhao Fei knew what they came to the party for and quickly approached some wealthy investors and directors she knew in the past. She introduced Jennie to them and chatted with them while Su Anran stayed on one side and occasionally joined in the conversation.

Jennie and Lisa were separated in their two worlds though they were currently standing in the same place. Like two people living in a different world.

"Miss kim, I heard that you're currently filming a drama. When are you going to finish shooting?" Director Louis asked.

Jennie glanced to her side where the tall director was standing close beside her and smilingly replied, "Currently, the drama I'm shooting is about to end."

Director Louis immediately asked after hearing her reply, "Oh, then do you have any plans to work with me? I am going to direct a movie this year, and I'm still missing a female lead to complete the cast."

Jennie didn't give him a straight answer and only said, "I also would like to work with Director Louis. I've heard of the movies you've directed before. Sister Zhao, what do you think?"

As her agent and manager, Zhao Fei's job was to screen the scripts and roles that Jennie would be playing. So, naturally, she wouldn't give Director Louis a positive answer. However, the three tacitly understood that the role would be considered seriously, and Jennie would give him an answer sooner or later.

Director Louis just turned thirty-two this year. He was once a child actor just like Jennie but turned to become a director in his later years. He has over thirty movies and dramas he has directed and filmed, and all of them received quite good ratings from the viewers.

Jennie and Zhao Fei looked at each other before silently looking away. Both had already made up their minds to take his offer in mind.

Another director came to Jennie, and investors were also interested in investing in them.

Tonight's harvest seemed to be doing very well.

When Jennie was still smiling and chatting with the other people around her, her eyes intentionally moved towards the director where she last saw Lisa. However, to her surprise, the man was no longer there, but the members of the Su family seemed to be standing in the same position.

Where was he?

As soon as she asked this, her eyes stopped moving abruptly.

Just a few feet away, a pair of deep, dark eyes as sharp as a blade penetrated into the space and landed on her. Those fearfully-looking eyes stared intensely at her.

Jennie looked away for a second to nod at what Zhao Fei was telling her, but she still could feel the gaze slashing through her slowly.

What's wrong with him?

Why was he staring as if he wanted to murder someone so badly?

She raised her head and looked around her suspiciously and was left speechless when she found something.

Due to the increasing number of people in their group, their bodies couldn't help but stick closer to each other.

Currently, Jennie was sandwiched between Zhao Fei and Director Louis, and because of that, her bare shoulder touched Director Louis' arm.

Jennie didn't react for a while.

However, in order to appease a certain someone's ire, she moved to the side a bit towards Zhao Fei. But then, a server squeezed into their group to put new flutes of champagne on their high table, and the people surrounding her were pushed closer to her.

Due to their actions, Director Louis, who was clueless about whatever Jennie was currently thinking, stepped on Jennie's foot.

"Ah..."

Jennie cried slightly in pain.

Alerted by the sound behind him, Director Louis made a hasty movement and tried to stand upright again, but he couldn't find balance in his body, and he felt his body falling backwards toward where Jennie was standing.

Lisa, who saw the man standing beside Jennie falling into her embrace, clenched his jaws, and stepped forward directly, quickly shortening the distance between them.

When he was about a few steps away from her group, a soft female voice sounded, and a petite figure dressed in a beautiful red silk gown blocked his path.

Su An blinked her eyes at him, making use of her fake lashes to appear alluringly in front of him, and she said, "Mr Manoban, my father told me to find you."

Su An was still feeling shy when there were only a few steps away from him when she felt a painfully cold gaze stabbing into her.

When she raised her head to look at him, her soul shuddered in fear.

At this moment, Lisa's eyes were extraordinarily cold and flashed dangerously. The hidden sense of menace was slowly pouring out.

He coldly said, "Get out of my sight."
