Chapter 451 Good Things Are Coming Soon

Lu's mother took her hand and placed it in her palm, saying earnestly, "It's not that I want you to be with Wen Zhou, but whether you like him or not, and whether you want to be with him."

Lu Shengsheng pouted, "How should I know? I've always considered him a good friend! Pure revolutionary friendship!"

Lu's mother stroked her daughter's face, her eyes filled with a mother's love for her daughter. "If you don't know, think about it slowly. Mom hopes you will always make choices for yourself and live for yourself. Nothing else matters!"

Lu Shengsheng's thick, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, but she remained silent, seemingly pondering her words.

Lu's mother stood up and said, "Don't think about it anymore, get some rest."

Lu Shengsheng didn't sleep well all night. When she finally managed to fall asleep, she dreamt of Lu Wenzhou's words: "Lu Shengsheng, I've liked you for a long time..."

When I woke up in the morning, my cheeks were still a little hot, and I couldn't help but pat my face.

"Lu Shengsheng, you're not a little girl anymore. How can you get so flustered just because someone confessed to you?"

Fortunately, Lu Wenzhou continued to visit his mother at the hospital as usual, and did not disturb Lu Shengsheng's filming on weekdays, nor did he mention the confession that night.

Tang Yifeng, on the other hand, kept going to the film set and even invested 50 million yuan in the movie. The director and producer treated him with utmost respect, like a god of wealth.

Lu Shengsheng completely ignored her on set, not even bothering to give her a glance.

Tang Yifeng didn't care. He sent flowers today and milk tea tomorrow, as if he wanted to announce to the world that he was pursuing Lu Shengsheng. Rumors even spread online that a certain rich man was pursuing a female celebrity who had just divorced.

Sheng's fans will not agree to any official announcements unless there is one; the sister is beautiful on her own.

The filming of the scenes in Beijing is almost complete, and the director is going to scout locations elsewhere, so we've given him two days off.

Lu Wenzhou showed no embarrassment when he saw Lu Shengsheng at the hospital, and calmly asked, "Don't you need to go to the film set today?"

Lu Shengsheng felt awkward inside, but she had to pretend to be calm on the surface. "Yeah, two days off."

"Are you free tonight?" Lu Wenzhou asked her directly. "There's a business party tonight. Could you be my date and come with me?"

“Me?” Lu Shengsheng pointed to herself.

"Yes, yes, I'm free!" Lu's mother readily agreed on her behalf, "She's free tonight."

"Mom..." Lu Shengsheng called out helplessly, signaling with her eyes not to agree on her behalf.

Lu's mother didn't take it seriously, "You don't have anything to do tonight anyway. Wenzhou has been helping you take care of me lately, what's wrong with you helping him with this little thing?"

Lu Shengsheng couldn't refute it. She looked at Lu Wenzhou and heard him say, "No need to force yourself, I can manage on my own."

"No pressure." She hadn't planned to refuse anyway; even just for the sake of their good friendship, she would have agreed. "Are there any requirements for the business gala?"

Lu Wenzhou shook his head: "No, just prepare as usual."

Lu Shengsheng nodded. "I understand."

"I'll pick you up tonight." Lu Wenzhou was very happy to see that she had agreed. He sat for a while and then went back so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable with him there.

In the evening, Lu Shengsheng changed into a champagne-colored dress. Since it was a business dinner, the dress was very appropriate. She didn't wear any jewelry, her long hair was casually blown by the wind, and her makeup was very light, without any of the glamorousness or flamboyance of a female celebrity.

Lu Wenzhou was immediately captivated by its beauty and couldn't bear to look away.

"Don't look at me like that," Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but remind him, "You look like you've never seen the world before."

“I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman as you before,” Lu Wenzhou readily agreed.

Lu Shengsheng didn't believe him at all. "Liang Xiaoyue is no prettier than me. She's a notorious red carpet killer!" "Aesthetics are subjective. Besides, she's just a good brother to me." No one would think their good brother is very beautiful.

Lu Shengsheng pouted, "You're just trying to fool me."

Lu Wenzhou didn't argue, but instead covered her legs with his coat and asked the driver to turn up the temperature.

Although it's the beginning of spring, the temperature in Beijing hasn't risen yet, and she'd easily catch a cold dressed like that.

The business dinner was held at a hotel under the Jin Group. Lu Shengsheng entered the venue arm in arm with Lu Wenzhou.

Those present were all business elites, including Liang Hanyue, but not as Jin Yanchen's wife, but as President Liang.

After greeting her, Lu Shengsheng said enviously, "You're amazing! Everyone calls you President Liang, it sounds so cool!"

“You can do it too.” Liang Hanyue raised her champagne glass.

"I can skip it," Lu Shengsheng shook her head and declined. "I just want to give up when I look at the money in my bank account. I don't even want to make movies anymore."

Liang Hanyue knew she was joking and didn't take it seriously, but she looked at Lu Wenzhou with a meaningful gaze.

Lu Wenzhou knew what she was laughing about. "If you see someone you know, go say hello. You two chat!"

As soon as he left, Liang Hanyue asked, "Did he confess his feelings?"

Lu Shengsheng glared at her, "You knew all along but didn't tell me."

"You weren't divorced from Gu Ronghui back then, so what could I say?" Liang Hanyue chuckled. "Isn't it better that he tells you himself now?"

"What a big idiot!" Lu Shengsheng sighed. "You have no idea how embarrassed I was."

"Is it just awkward?" Liang Hanyue asked.

"if not?"

"You didn't feel any aversion, disgust, or nausea?"

Lu Shengsheng looked puzzled. "No, why would I have this feeling?"

"This shows that you don't actually dislike him, nor do you reject his affections," Liang Hanyue said incisively. "I heard that Tang Yifeng is also pursuing you. If he invited you, would you accept?"

"Agree to my ass! He's a lunatic!" Lu Shengsheng was annoyed at the thought of Tang Yifeng, feeling that he was playing with her.

Liang Hanyue didn't speak, but the smile in her eyes said it all.

Lu Shengsheng belatedly realized what was happening, "Oh well, never mind. I just got divorced, and doing this now would make me seem so desperate, like I can't live without a man!"

"Men can remarry less than a year after their wives die, so what's wrong with you getting a divorce and starting a relationship?" Liang Hanyue said calmly, as if discussing the weather casually. "Don't morally blackmail yourself!"

Lu Wenzhou returned after saying hello, and the topic came to an abrupt end.

Gu Rong arrived late, accompanied by Lin Leyang. As soon as the two appeared, someone said, "They're a match made in heaven. They must be getting married soon."

Lu Wenzhou glanced at Lu Shengsheng subconsciously; she had her eyes downcast and seemed lost in thought.

As soon as Gu Rong entered, he saw her standing with Lu Wenzhou. His brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Lin Leyang also saw Lu Shengsheng, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Ronghui. Seeing that he did not react, her red lips curved slightly.
