My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: The Engagement is Actually Real

Chu Xi still didn’t know that Qin Jun had visited. After greeting Old Madam, she relished the attention of the people who crowded around to chat and fawn over her.

“Miss Chu, I’ve seen the movie you acted in, your acting skills are truly amazing.”

“I’ve also seen it, I’m a fan of yours. I didn’t expect to meet you in person today, I’m so lucky. Could you give me an autograph later?”

“Miss Chu, your surname is Chu, could it be that Chu?”

Everyone chimed in one after another, and the influential young ladies of Capital City were flattering Chu Xi like a flock of followers, their cautious attitude almost as if they were waiting on her hand and foot.

Seeing this made Shen Siyuan’s complexion look even worse than before!

None of the socialites who were close to Shen Siyuan attended, including her best friend Cai Sinan, who scoffed disdainfully at the lively scene, “She’s just a star, do these people need to be so obsequious? It’s embarrassing!”

“I heard she’s supposedly the daughter of the Chu Family.”

“I looked her up and down, inside and out, and all I see is the air of an actress. I can’t tell where she resembles a lady of high society. If she truly is the daughter of the Chu Family, then why is she acting, mixing in the entertainment industry? The Chu Family’s background is almost on par with the Lin Family. Why don’t we see Mr. Li’s mother mingling in the entertainment circle?” Cai Sinan could not stand Chu Xi and spoke rather rudely.

A girl beside her, enviously looking towards Chu Xi, whispered, “Maybe she likes it.”

“I heard that Madame Chu cherishes this daughter the most. She insisted on playing around in the entertainment circle, and Madame Chu spoiled her by letting her be willful.”

“You all, why do you keep elbowing outwards! Could it be that you really believe Jiang Wen’s nonsense, thinking she’s Mr. Li’s fiancée? Her, of all people! Forget it! She’s not even comparable to Rong Yan. At least Rong Yan, as much as she’s disliked, never pretends. Look at her with that contemptuous gaze, as if she’s some sort of princess, almost looking down her nose at people!” She wasn’t satisfied with just saying this; she tugged at Shen Siyuan and gestured towards Chu Xi with a nudge of her chin, “Siyuan, look at how smug that woman is. That talked-about engagement must be fake, right? I’ve never heard of Mr. Li having any damned engagement.”

Shen Siyuan had felt as if she had eaten a fly since the beginning, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She presented Old Madam with Mr. Mo Bai’s painting, and Chu Xi gifted something precious left by Mr. Kai. How was this different from a slap in her face? Moreover, Chu Xi’s brag about staying with Li Shengxiao for the last few days was like a needle piercing her heart. Her lips pursed, she pulled away Cai Sinan’s hand, “It’s true.”

“It’s true?” Cai Sinan was dumbfounded.

Shen Siyuan, “Shengxiao did have an engagement arranged in his childhood. He never acknowledged it, it was just something the adults wished for!”

Cai Sinan and a few other girls looked at each other in disbelief, all seeing shock in each other’s eyes!

Holy shit, the engagement is actually real!

They looked again at Chu Xi, who in the crowd stood out like a crane among chickens, her chin slightly lifted. Someone started by saying softly, “If I really had to choose between the two, I still think that female star looks more pleasant to the eye!”

Although the others didn’t speak, their expressions were the same, silently agreeing.

Even Shen Siyuan at this moment didn’t argue back. Biting her lip as if she hadn’t heard, but in fact, she had tacitly agreed.
