Chapter 322 - I Only Want To Keep You
Chapter 322: I Only Want To Keep You
Shi Jin could not help but smile when she saw how willing he was. “Previously, when I was at the National Dance Association, I agreed to make everyone rehearse the song that I know, ‘Shangzhou Ancient Music Dance’. Now, the dance has taken shape, but there is still no progress in finding a matching dress. I’ve talked to a lot of designers, but they all say it’s too hard to do what I say.
The requirements for fabric and craftsmanship are especially high and they cannot achieve the effect I want. However, without such clothes to complement this dance, this dance won’t be possible. Its essence won’t be represented.”
“Sure. I’ll take this challenge,” Gu Zehan agreed.
“But I heard that Second Brother’s appointments run into next year?”
Gu Zehan raised his long and narrow eyes. “The others in line can get out of the way.”
“Thank you in advance!”
“I’m quite happy that you let me help you. Before I came back, I was afraid that you wouldn’t treat me as your brother. Oh, right, here’s a birthday present.” Gu Zehan handed her something.
Shi Jin took it, thanked him and put it in her bag.
Gu Zehan went out of the private room and gave his assistant a call. “Find out what happened with Chu Ling and Shi Jin.”
A moment later, his assistant sent him a detailed report.
“That b*stard!” Gu Zehan clutched his phone as his devilish eyes turned vicious. “Don’t give him my clothes!”
Before his return, he had thought that Shi Jin still had feelings for Chu Ling. Therefore, when Chu Ling’s Xiuli Entertainment company negotiated with him and wanted him to help Chu Ling with a gown, Gu Zehan had agreed without hesitation. However, there was no need for Chu Ling to have treated Shi Jin as he did.
“Brian, the clothes have been given out.”
Gu Zehan’s clothes had been prepared long ago. They were meant for Chu Ling, and they were made as a greeting gift for Shi Jin and Chu Ling.
Unexpectedly, the situation had changed. The assistant had not expected this and sent the item over.
“Take them back!” Gu Zehan said without hesitation.
The assistant immediately responded.
Chu Ling was waiting for Hu Lai’s final communication.
A moment later, Hu Lai walked in with a brand new set of clothes. The set was so exquisite that its beauty could be seen with the naked eye. Regardless of whether it was the design or the fabric, it had people intoxicated at first glance.
“Chu Ling, I’ve got the clothes!”
Hu Lai hadn’t expected that either. As soon as Brian returned, he had someone deliver the clothes.
It could be seen how popular Chu Ling was. Even a mysterious designer like Brian was rushing to deliver his items.
As long as Chu Ling put on this set of clothes, Brian’s reputation would become even greater because of Chu Ling.
Chu Ling stood up and took the clothes with a satisfied look.
“Chu Ling, I can tell that Brian approves of your reputation.”
Chu Ling picked the clothes up. “Help me put it on.”
Hu Lai was about to make a move when her phone rang. She picked it up immediately. “What?”
She did not dare to say much in front of Chu Ling. She walked out and asked in a low voice, “Why do you want them back? You already gave them to Chu Ling. I can’t explain this at all.”
Chu Ling did not know what the other party said, but Hu Lai seemed annoyed. “No. If it really won’t work, we’ll retreat after we pass through. I’ll return tonight.”
She had no choice but to agree.
Brian suddenly went back on his word and wanted to take back his clothes. Was it because he had a problem with his family? Or was there another reason?
If she told Chu Ling this, she would definitely be scolded to death.
Hu Lai pondered for a while before taking out a similar outfit from the cloakroom. She made up her mind and would let Brian pull out, but since Brian had gone back on his word, there was no need for her to follow the rules either.
She returned to Chu Ling’s room and saw that he had already changed his clothes.
His already good-looking face looked exceptionally handsome in this outfit. It was indeed Brian’s design. Even a third-rate celeb would look stunning in his clothes. Moreover, Chu Ling was already a top idol.
With this outfit, he would definitely become the most dazzling existence that night.

At Lanting Residence:
Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan returned home.
Her meeting with Second Brother had gone smoothly and Shi Jin was in a good mood. When she got home, she took out the red packet that Gu Jingyuan had given her.
Gu Jingyuan had only given it to her, not Fu Xiuyuan. She tilted her head to look at him and stuffed it back into her bag.
“Open it,” Fu Xiuyuan said in a low voice.
He did not mind how others treated him. It was enough as long as they treated Shi Jin well.
Shi Jin thought about it and opened it.
Two red booklets.
Flipping them open, she saw that they were indeed property deeds with her name on.
However, compared to Old Master Li’s Siheyuan and commercial building, Gu Zehan’s apartment was new.
Even though it was an apartment, it was still expensive in a place like Beijing where every inch of land was worth a fortune.
Shi Jin had received eight real estate certificates from Old Master Li previously and had received quite a lot at her birthday party. Now that she had opened it again, she was already numb to it.
She finally understood what the saying “a starving camel is still bigger than a horse” meant.
Initially, she had estimated that the Li family’s situation was mediocre and that their wealth had almost run out. She thought she might have to work harder to earn more money to let her family lead a better life. Now that she thought about it, she had been too naive.
As for the movie that she had specially written for her father, it was more meaningful to her spiritually than economically.
Shi Jin glanced at Fu Xiuyuan and said, “Why don’t you keep it for me?”
She was clearly referring to them sharing assets.
Fu Xiuyuan looked down at her, his gaze deep as he pulled her into his arms. “I only want to keep you safe.”

At the National Dance Association.
Shi Jin, Gu Zehan, and President Cui had already agreed to meet to discuss the dance and costumes for the “Shangzhou Ancient Music Dance”.
The two of them entered together and President Cui’s secretary welcomed them in.
“Miss Shi, Brian, President Cui is meeting guests now. He said that he’s very sorry and hopes that you can wait a little longer,” the secretary said apologetically as she brought them coffee.
“No problem.” Shi Jin took the coffee. “Thank you.”

In President Cui’s office:
At this moment, he was in a terrible fix.
The person on his computer screen was Minister Hao from the non-material cultural heritage department.
Minister Hao said, “Currently, we are undergoing a non-lethal application for ‘Shangzhou Ancient Music Dance’. However, Country H has already submitted this song to the United Nations ahead of time. As you know, this dance song represents our country’s precious intangible culture. We cannot let anyone beat us to it.”
