Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 146
Chapter 146: She’s His Sister
Shen Xi had just stepped into the VIP room when Fu Qingye suddenly got up and headed her way instead.
Fu Qingye’s heart was in his mouth when he saw that the girl’s looks resembled his mother’s. Turning dewy-eyed, he tried to pull himself together but his voice trembled from overexcitement and joy. “What’s… your name?”
“I’m Cai Ni.” Shen Xi calmly replied with manners.
Mr. Movie Star seemed a little too thrilled to see her.
There was no reason to, and it would not make sense!
Fu Qingye realized that he was out of line, despite hardly ever losing his grip. Getting his act together, he smiled gently. “I must have scared you! My mother really likes you and I was just caught up in the heat of the moment. I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay.” Shen Xi politely returned a smile, although his excuse was pretty far-fetched.
However, her focus was completely on Mr. Movie Star’s gorgeous face.
With this breathtaking face, it was no wonder he was the most handsome man in showbiz!
He was pure perfection at close range. The cameras were unable to capture even twenty percent of the magnanimity and beauty behind this divine face.
Shen Xi had come over just to see Mr. Fu the Movie Star and get acquainted before signing a contract.
Jiang Yin did not have the audacity to sign the contract for her. In fact, Fu Qingye had requested that Ms. Cai Ni sign the contract in person.
“Mr. Fu, I have come up with a few designs based on your past looks. Please take a look.” Shen Xi handed over the design prints.
Fu Qingye took the designs. His eyes may have been on the prints, but his mind was all over her. He nodded. “Okay. I intend to leave everything in your hands, given that I have requested you.”
The only thing he was eager to find out was information on her.
Who was she?
What was her name?
What were her parents like?
As for the design prints, that was the last thing on his mind.
“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Fu. I will do my best.” Shen Xi had a feeling that he was distracted, as if his mind was not on her, yet on her.
“Don’t hire the suspicious but don’t be suspicious of those you hire.” It would be rude to ask her certain questions. He looked her in the eye and said, “Let me thank you in advance for your care during my trip in China.”
The girl before him looked awfully like Mother.
At the tender age of seventeen, the poised and composed air around her was similar to Father.
For a moment, he thought she was his sister.
For a brief second, Fu Qingye could not resist the intention of bluntly throwing the questions out, asking her of everything he wanted to know.
Nevertheless, his parents had taught him to avoid discourtesy and not be crude to a girl. What if he scared her?
“Here’s to a great collaboration.” Shen Xi reached out a hand and looked at him with a polite smile across her lips.
Fu Qingye was blinded by her smile. Aware that the answer was close at hand, he got a grip and shook her hand. “I look forward to working with you.”
Manager Jing Yu observed at a corner. Growing up in the Fu household, he had his own pride and upheld his own standards, rarely expressing admiration or affirmation to anyone.
However, Ms. Cai Ni was indeed brilliant, talented, and perfect in looks and mannerism.
Had he not known her age beforehand, Jing Yu would never believe that this dignified girl with a commanding presence was only seventeen.
