I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 267
Chapter 267
“Jingyu!” Song Zhenyan went after her. But when she saw that Song Jingyu was in her own little world, Song Zhenyan kept her distance instead. She then took pictures of Song Jingyu with her phone and sent them to Song Huaiyan who was on his way back to the capital.
Song Zhenyan heaved a sigh of relief when Song Jingyu finally calmed down. After having comforted her for a while, she gave Song Huaiyan a call. “I’m afraid that you need to send more medication!”
Song Huaiyan had just landed when he saw the pictures of Song Jingyu going hysterical. He was instantly frustrated. “I’ll get my secretary to send them to you. But you have to remember to keep them yourself and feed them to her discreetly!”
“Alright!” That was the only thing they could do at the moment. Song Zhenyan didn’t know how was she going to get Song Jingyu to take the medication willingly. “If there’s nothing more, I’ll end the call first.”
“Zhenyan,” Song Huaiyan stopped her and sighed, “You have to be more understanding of her. You were the one who brought her up since she was little, and you know that she isn’t a bad person. It’s just that she’s obsessed with Yan!”
“I understand, don’t worry! You’d better focus on resolving the issues with the company first!”
Song Zhenyan ended the call and glanced at Song Jingyu who was now fast asleep. She couldn’t help but shake her head.
…
“What is this?”
Fu Chengyan held a white prescription bottle in his hand. “Hmm?”
“I got this medication from the delivery company this morning. It was sent by your uncle to your mother,” Zhou Zheng said in a solemn manner. “I’ve let Mr. Su examine it and he says that these are anti-depressants used for managing Song Jingyu’s mental illness.”
Zhou Zheng passed the lab report to Fu Chengyan. “As we were short on time, Mr. Su did not do a detailed analysis. So we still don’t know what all the ingredients are! According to our spy inside the Fu residence, Song Jingyu had a breakdown yesterday and threw away her medication. These were supposed to be the replacements.”
Fu Chengyan nodded. “You did well!” He added, “Have you changed them?”
“Yes. Because I was short on time, I replaced them with vitamins. Mr. Fu, do you want me to change it to something else?” Zhou Zheng gave it some thought. “As long as side effects are not obvious, no one will notice that the medications have been switched.”
Fu Chengyan grinned as he raised his eyebrows at Zhou Zheng. There was a tinge of playfulness to his gaze and it sent a chill down Zhou Zheng’s spine. “Mr. Fu?”
Fu Chengyan recovered his focus as he held onto the bottle. His gaze was dark with coldness. “You can decide what to do, as long as you don’t kill her!” He stood up and threw the bottle into the rubbish bin. “It’s fine for her to be half-dead!”
Zhou Zheng couldn’t help but laugh as he suddenly had an idea. He replied, “I’ll get right onto it!”
“Wait!” Fu Chengyan called out to Zhou Zheng. “When is the movie premiere?”
“Half a month later!” Zhou Zheng thought about it. “Mr. Fu, do you really want to attend?”
Fu Chengyan put a hand in his pocket and gave Zhou Zheng a mischievous look. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Zhou Zheng shook his head immediately. “I wouldn’t dare. I’ll be off now!”
After Zhou Zheng left, Fu Chengyan stood by the windows and looked down at the tiny figures from the twenty-seventh floor. He let out a slight smile as his gaze remained frosty.
Song Huaiyan was already busy repairing the damage from the Xiang family’s unilateral withdrawal from their partnership. He had no time to deal with the internal strife within the company and its falling share price. Everything happened without warning. This resulted in Song Huaiyan being pressured by the board of directors so hard that he could hardly breathe. Due to all these reasons, whatever plans Song Huaiyan had for Jiang City had to be put aside for the moment.
Meanwhile, Song Jingyu couldn’t tolerate Shi Wei’s existence, so she resorted to spending much time online trying to create trouble for the latter by digging up all sorts of dirt on her. As Fu Chengyan had said: no matter what sort of trouble Song Jingyu gave Shi Wei, Fu Chengyan would resolve it on her behalf. It wasn’t until Song Jingyu was finally close to losing it that she chose to do something more drastic to Shi Wei.
It was under such circumstances that the press conference for the movie Beneath the Sky was held. As there were rumors of Fu Chengyan attending the event himself, everyone was more excited about seeing him than the unveiling of the cast.
They knew how famous and elusive Fu Chengyan was in Jiang City. They heard about him often but few had actually seen him in person. Even when rumors between him and Shi Wei spread, pictures of Fu Chengyan’s face appeared only briefly before being taken down swiftly. Hence, everyone waiting to see him was filled with anticipation.
Nevertheless, as the highlight of the press conference was still the movie, no one would neglect the cast and crew. The director and the screenwriter were among the main selling points of the movie. Other than Shi Wei, Xinhuang’s top artiste Bai Qing and international star Wu Qi also starred in the
show. It was certainly an all-star cast. When news of the movie was first leaked online, it had generated a lot of interest. Now that there was a press conference, many members of the media fought to gain access to the event.
Backstage, Shi Wei looked stunning once the makeup artist was done with her. Even the crew beside her were all impressed.
Shi Wei wasn’t the kind of women obsessed with vanity. She was already confident of herself as she was born beautiful. However, as she had placed a lot of emphasis on the movie, and the fact that Fu Chengyan would be attending, she too was filled with anticipation.
She wasn’t sure what she was hoping for, but it was definitely an exciting feeling to hear the crew compliment her. She was so happy that she actually said something nice for once.
Su Su was standing beside her, holding her gown in her hands. When she heard the crew praise how pretty Shi Wei looked, Su Su couldn’t help but take a look. However, her gaze was of nothing but contempt. But Su Su was good at hiding her emotions and recovered her smile quickly. “Wei, here’s your gown. Go change quickly! The press conference is about to start!”
“Is Mr. Fu here yet?” Compared to the press conference, Shi Wei was more concerned about Fu Chengyan’s arrival.
Su Su squinted her eyes and replied, “Not yet, but he should be on his way by now! You have to know that he’s a busy man. It would be great if he could make it, but hoping that he would arrive early would be wishful thinking!” Su Su walked over as she spoke and took another look. “Wei, you look gorgeous today. I can guarantee you that the spotlight will be focused on you tonight!”
“Is that so?” Su Su’s words carried a lot of weight for Shi Wei as she had completely trusted her by now.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Definitely!”
“Is everyone ready? We are about to start!”
“Almost ready!” Su Su hurriedly helped Shi Wei up. “Quick, go get yourself changed. Once the male and female leads have been introduced, you’re up next.” While she was speaking, Su Su noticed that Shi Wei had a stiff look on her. She quickly added, “Wei, you’re still young and have a lot of potential. This movie’s most interesting character is the supporting actress. I’m sure after this movie, your career will improve significantly.”
“Yes!” Shi Wei nodded. “Give me the gown; I’m going to change!”
…
In the Shengyuan president’s office, Fu Chengyan was still looking through some data when Zhou Zheng was already waiting outside.
Mai Qi couldn’t be more anxious. “Mr. Zhou, they are already chasing me saying that the press conference is about to start. Is Mr. Fu still not ready to go yet?” Just as she finished, her phone started ringing again. Zhou Zheng shot a glance at Mai Qi as he remained exceptionally calm. “After working for Mr. Fu for so long, haven’t you gotten used to his habits? Silence!”
Zhou Zheng’s eyes scanned around and he wasn’t surprised to see Song Jingyu hiding in one corner.
Mai Qi followed his gaze and saw Song Jingyu leaving from the shadows. Mai Qi raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Mr. Zhou, is Ms. Song…”
“Ignore her.”
Given how stubborn Song Jingyu was, she would be sure to come along. Besides, today’s event was too important to be missed. They probably didn’t need to do anything at all because Song Jingyu herself could cause enough trouble.
“What are you looking at?”
Fu Chengyan opened the door and walked out of his office. He saw Zhou Zheng and Mai Qi from the corner of his eye and said, “Let’s go!”
“Yes!” Zhou Zheng stood up immediately. “The person in charge over there has told us that everything is in place. They are just waiting for your arrival.”
“Alright!”
“Not everyone from the media is allowed in, only those that are aligned with us. By the way, Song Jingyu’s men have gone in, too.” Zhou Zheng paused for a moment. “Your appearance today might lend further credibility to the rumor of you being involved with Shi Wei. Is Mrs. Fu…?”
Fu Chengyan stopped in his tracks and stared at Zhou Zheng from the corner of his eye. He raised his eyebrow and said, “Continue.”
Zhou Zheng gulped. “Is she alright with this?” Zhou Zheng felt that this was a bad idea. Shi Nuan was Fu Chengyan’s wife, and any rumor of him being together with her sister would be extremely distasteful, even if it wasn’t true.
Fu Chengyan grinned. “That would depend on how capable you are.”
Zhou Zheng, “…”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Fu, but what can I even do? The media reports will definitely be there. There’s no way I can control how Mrs. Fu feels about it!”
“Just focused on making it happen. She won’t say anything about it!” Fu Chengyan said as entered the car. He added, “Tell the staff at the press conference to start now! I’ll be there close to the end. As to what happens in the middle, Song Jingyu would likely put on a good show for them!”
“At once.” Zhou Zheng rubbed his hands together. “The backstage called just now, saying that there’s a problem with Shi Wei’s dress. Mr. Fu, we will have a really interesting show to watch soon!” Fu Chengyan chose to arrive close to the end to allow Song Jingyu and Shi Wei enough time to put on a show.
Before they arrived at the press conference, Zhou Zheng received a call. “Mr. Zhou, are you here yet? Something big has happened!” It was as Zhou Zheng had predicted.
