Unworthy Rich Girl

Zhang ShaoYan was sprung from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and the familiar headache came back in waves. He hadn’t dreamed of Lin Hui’s death for a long time and today, Zhang ShaoShang had sent someone to kidnap Du YouWei. The horrible memory of Lin Hui when he was kidnapped suddenly drowned him.

He was afraid of what Zhang ShaoShang would do to Du YouWei. If that was the case, he didn’t know what he would do.

Du YouWei opened her eyes in a daze and watched Zhang ShaoYan was resting against the bedside, massaging his temple. She smoothly turned on the lamp on the wall, and under the warm yellow light, she could see Zhang Shaoyan’s slightly frowned brows.

“Zhang ShaoYan, does your head hurt again?” Du YouWei propped herself up with both hands and sat up. Zhang ShaoYan looked at the person beside him, his thumb still pressed firmly on his temple: “Woke you up?”

Du YouWei shook her head, raised her hand to help him rub it gently: “Does it hurt?”

“It’s okay.”

“Then I’ll sing you a song?” Du YouWei said, and did not wait for Zhang ShaoYan to answer, she hummed quietly. The song was a lullaby. Previously, Gao Ye had coaxed DuoDuo to sleep, and he sang this song.

Zhang ShaoYan twitched the corner of his mouth almost invisibly but said nothing. Although the song was childish, and does not help him sleep, but the headache did reduce little by little. Sometimes, Zhang ShaoYan has a little bit of a complicated mood about his own headache that doesn’t picky about songs’ choices at all.

Feeling that Zhang ShaoYan was gradually relaxing, Du YouWei was relieved a lot. Zhang ShaoYan hasn’t fallen ill for a long time. It must be because of the incident that stimulated him and reminded him of the past.

After Du YouWei became relaxed too, the sleepiness she had just lost re-emerged. The “Lullaby” didn’t sing Zhang ShaoYan to sleep, but she yawned again and again.

Zhang ShaoYan saw her eyes squinting smaller and smaller, even the song is getting fainter and fainter, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Sing yourself to sleep?”

“Huh…?” Du YouWei replied vaguely, trying hard to open her eyes wide.

Zhang ShaoYan kissed her forehead, the action gentle and full of fondness: “It’s okay, go to sleep, I’m fine.”

“Oh…” Du YouWei just finished the word, tilted her head, leaning on Zhang ShaoYan’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Zhang ShaoYan assisted her in lying down again, covered the quilt, shut off the light, and lay next her. There was no dream in the second half of the night.

***

Early in the morning, there was a little girl’s voice echoed the house. Gao Ye wanted to wash DuoDuo, but DuoDuo refused to let Gao Ye help her, just clamoring to find Zhang ShaoYan.

Du YouWei was still asleep,  and when Zhang ShaoYan heard the sound, he came out to have a look.

DuoDuo was standing in the hallway wearing her pajama. Gao Ye was holding a toothbrush squeezed with toothpaste in one hand and a glass of water in the other. His face was sad: “Little ancestor, gargle your mouth first, okay?”

“No.” DuoDuo just finished speaking, she saw Zhang ShaoYan walking over, immediately changed her face and happily ran over, “Qi Di, Qi Di, help DuoDuo brush her teeth, okay?”

Zhang ShaoYan rejected her just like she refused Gao Ye: “No.”

“…” DuoDuo’s small mouth flattened, seeing that she was about to cry out in aggravation. Gao Ye was really afraid of her crying and hurried up to comfort her, “DuoDuo, your Qi Di likes independent and obedient girls. If you brush your teeth obediently, he will like you.”

DuoDuo raised her head and tried to control her tears: “Really?”

“Really, DuoDuo, go quickly. After you wash up, you can have breakfast with Qi Di!”

“Then I’m going to brush my teeth!” DouDou ran back to the room.

Gao Ye exhaled deeply and complained to Zhang Shao Yan, “When you have a daughter in the future, I won’t help you with the kids.”

Zhang ShaoYan said: “My own daughter, I will take it myself, I don’t need you.”

“…Oh.” That’s the best. 

“Also, independent and obedient girls, don’t you feel contradictory? Is it independent or obedient?”

“…DouDuo won’t think so much, I’ll go in and check on her.”

After Gao Ye left, Zhang ShaoYan also returned to the room. Du YouWei was already up. Seeing him back, she combed her hair and asked him: “Is it DuoDuo?”

“En, did it bother you?” Zhang ShaoYan walked over, took the comb in her hand, and helped her comb the long hair behind her, “The child is a little noisy, but we’re sending her back today.”

Zhang ShaoYan surprised Du YouWei by returning to help her comb her hair. This move had a more intimate feel to it than a kiss. Her heart was racing, she didn’t dare to look at Zhang ShaoYan, for fear that he would find herself panicking: “Oh, oh, so soon?”

“Well, if you like her…” Zhang ShaoYan’s voice trailed, his hand stopped. He bent down slightly, his thin lips pressed against her ear, and the ambiguous breath and low voice fell into Du YouWei’s ears: “We can have one ourselves.”

“…” Du YouWei’s ears burst red instantly!

She, herself noticed her hot red skin, and evasively pushed Zhang ShaoYan aside and snatched the comb in his hand: “I-I can comb it myself.”

She dashed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind her. Zhang ShaoYan stood outside, his brows colored with smiles, staring at the closed door. [T/S: How can eyebrows smiles tho?]

Du YouWei, who hid in the bathroom, fanned herself desperately before she managed to cool down the temperature on her face. She and Zhang ShaoYan have been together for so long, and they even slept together a few times, but Zhang ShaoYan really abide by what he said to her at the beginning and did nothing to her.

Well, except for kisses and hugs.

Du YouWei once believed that he could really endure until her graduation from university, but today he casually teased her that… she may not be able to endure ah!

She is already 21 years old. At this age, even if something happens with her boyfriend, it is not a shocking thing. On the contrary, they really waited until she graduated… that is a little shocking?

Zhang ShaoYan knocked on the door outside, followed by his voice coming in: “Are you done?”

“Ye-Yes!” Du YouWei responded in a panic, opened the door and walked out.

Zhang ShaoYan stood by the door; his tall figure almost shrouded her under his body. Du YouWei leaned to give way to him, curled her lips and smiled: “Go ahead.”

Zhang ShaoYan also smiled and bent over to give her a soft kiss on the corner of her lips, “Wait for me to go down for breakfast together, okay?”

“…Okay.” You look so good-looking, anything you say is good.

Du YouWei changed her clothes, and Zhang ShaoYan also walked out of the room, he casually picked up one and put it on his body: “Let’s go.”

Du YouWei went downstairs with him, and by the dining table, there was a small figure siting there obediently.

Gao Ye told her she could eat breakfast first, but she must wait for Zhang Shao Yan to come down and eat together. Fortunately, Zhang ShaoYan didn’t let her wait too long. After seeing Zhang ShaoYan, DuoDuo smiled and greeted him: “Qi Di, good morning.”

“Good morning.” Zhang ShaoYan walked to the dining table, pulled out the chair and sat down. Du YouWei sat next to him, smiled and said to DuoDuo, “Good morning, DuoDuo.”

“Good morning to you as well, JieJie,” DuoDuo responded. After that, she glanced at Du YouWei for a time, intrigued, and asked her, “Is JieJie married to Qi Di? That’s why you’re both sleeping in the same room.”

Du YouWei: “…”

Seeing that she did not answer, DuoDuo thought she had guessed it correctly, and then asked Zhang ShaoYan: “When did Qi Di get married? You didn’t even invite DouDou to attend.”

Du YouWei explained to her patiently: “DuoDuo, JieJie still didn’t marry your Qi Di yet.”

DuoDuo looked at her questioningly: “Then why did JieJie and Qi Di stays in the same room?”

“…” Yes, why?

Zhang ShaoYan had no shame and said without changing his expression: “Eat.”

As the table ate quietly, Du YouWei reached for the bread in front of her and was burned and let out a “hiss”.

Zhang ShaoYan put down the fork in his hand, took her hand and blew on it: “Why are you so careless? These breads are freshly baked and very hot.”

DuoDuo’s innocent eyes turned to the two of them.

Du YouWei: “…”

She withdrew her hand and smiled awkwardly at Zhang ShaoYan: “I’m fine, let’s eat.”

“Mm.” Zhang ShaoYan glanced at her again and picked up his knife and fork again.

After eating, Zhang ShaoYan personally sent DuoDuo back to the kindergarten. DuoDuo became upset when she learned that Zhang ShaoYan was planning to send her away: “DuoDuo doesn’t want to go, Qi Di play with DuoDuo for a few more days, okay?”

She hasn’t seen her Qi Di for a long time. She did not expect that after only one day, Qi Di does not want her again!

Zhang ShaoYan patiently reassured her: “DuoDuo, I’ll take you to play next time. Be good and go home today, mommy and the others are waiting for you at the kindergarten.”

DuoDuo pouted and didn’t believe his promise: “Next time? When is it? Mom said that men’s next time is a lie.”

Du YouWei, who was eavesdropping at the side: “……” DouDuo’s mom is also very powerful.

Zhang ShaoYan said, “The next time is the New Year, okay?”

DuoDuo calculated herself, not far from the kindergarten’s winter break, that is not far from the New Year: “Okay, Qi Di must come.”

“Mm.” Zhang carried her to the car and turned to look at Du YouWei behind him, “Where you are going? Just ask the driver to drop you off.”

“Well, I heard from my brother that my mother is back. I’ll go home later to take a look.” Because of her loss of contact yesterday, Jiang ManLin was so worried that she came back from her natal family. This is a blessing in disguise.

“Then I’ll send DuoDuo first. Be careful on your way.”

“Okay, so are you.” Du YouWei watched him get in the car and waved at him from behind.

Zhang ShaoShang and Zhang JingTing were already waiting in front of the kindergarten, and when they saw Zhang ShaoYan’s car pull up, they couldn’t wait to walk over. DuoDuo was carrying a small schoolbag, and as soon as she got out of the car, she was hugged by her mother: “DuoDuo, are you okay?”

DuoDuo twisted in her arms, seemingly trying to adjust a comfortable position: “DouDou is fine, Qi Di is very good to DouDou.”

Zhang JingTing pursed her lips and hugged her: “Dad, I will take DuoDuo to the class first.”

DuoDuo was held in her arms, and she turned her head and said goodbye to Zhang ShaoYan: “Goodbye Qi Di, remember to come and play with DuoDuo again.”

“Mm.” Zhang ShaoYan nodded slightly, watching her and Zhang JingTing walk away.

Zhang ShaoShang never said anything, Zhang ShaoYan looked at him indifferently and spoke in a monotonous voice: “In the future, before you do something, think about your family first, then you will know what to do and what not to do.”

Zhang ShaoShang’s face hardened for a few minutes but did not refute him anything. Zhang ShaoYan also did not say more, turned around and walked back to the car.

***

Du YouWei asked the driver to take herself home shortly after Zhang ShaoYan left. When Jiang ManLin heard the maid say that she was back, she hurriedly walked out: “Girl, I heard you got lost in the mountains yesterday? Did something happen to you?”

“It’s okay, I met a kind person to help me, Zhang ShaoYan also came very quickly. “Du YouWei smiled and took her hand, and asked her, “Mom, you’re back this time, you’re not leaving, right?”

Jiang ManLin had returned with her luggage, naturally she planned to do so, but at this time, she still had to be reserved: “Let’s see how your father will perform in the future.”

“Hey, my dad will definitely behave well, I tell you, I saw him playing rock-paper-scissors in the mirror one night, almost scares me to death!”

Jiang ManLin covered her mouth and laughed: “Really?”

“Yes, this family can’t do without you.” Du YouWei said emotionally, “Plus I have finals coming up again soon, you have to maintain the harmony of the family atmosphere at this time.”

“Oh.” Jiang ManLin looked at her, “We were quite harmonious last semester, and I didn’t see you take the test.”

“…” Du YouWei remembered all the tutoring she did at Zhang Shaoyan’s place over the summer and learned the hard way, “I’m sure I won’t fail again this time!”

“I hope so.”

Du YouWei really didn’t want to drop a course this time. If she dropped a course at this time, it might affect her graduation. But she couldn’t let go of the company’s affairs, so she simply reviewed and tackle the problems in her office. In this way, she does both study and work, her life is really…hard!

***

On this day, she buried her head in the office, writing papers, and the front desk called in and said that a boy named Huang YueLin came to see her with her business card. Du YouWei was overjoyed, their company finally had fresh blood.

She personally welcomed him, and when she saw Huang YueLin, her smile froze on her face, and she opened her mouth for a long time before saying: “What are you doing?”

Huang YueLin carried a big bag on his back, which looked heavy, similar to the kind used for training in the army. There is also a large suitcase at the feet, a woven bag, as if the entire family has brought along.

Huang YueLin said: “I resigned and came to join you.”

“…” Du YouWei smiled and nodded, “Then, you come with me first.”

She asked Huang YueLin to temporarily put his luggage at the front desk, and took him to the office to have his contract typed up. His contract is still the same as Meng Xi and the others, and the treatment is the same as theirs. Du YouWei intends to wait for a million years and then the contract will change.

After reading the contract, Huang YueLin had no objections, so he wrote his name. Du YouWei handed over the contract to the legal counsel and took him to the dormitory where Meng Xi and the others lived.

After several training camp selections, Han Yang was also eliminated and now the dormitory is occupied by Han Yang, Meng Xi, and Gu Shi. There are two empty rooms, but it’s not a good idea to let Huang YueLin move in, so Du YouWei had to vacate the utility room and let Huang YueLin live there temporarily.

“At the end of the year, Gu Shi will move out from here, and we will reallocate the rooms.” Du YouWei looked at Huang YueLin somewhat apologetically, “You can stay here for now.”

Huang YueLin moved his things in and didn’t seem to care much, “It’s okay, the environment here is better than my previous dormitory in the mountains.”

Han Yang and Meng Xi have been watching the newcomer outside. When Du YouWei said that Gu Shi was moving out, Meng Xi couldn’t help asking her: “Boss, is Gu Shi going to move out?”

Du YouWei said: “Well, his filming will be finished soon, and the drama will be broadcast at the end of the year. He’ll be popular by then, I’m going to give him a new single house, so it’s more convenient.”

Han Yang blinked: “Are you counting on your fingers and calculating that he is going to be popular?”

Du YouWei retorted in dissatisfaction: “Do you think he won’t be a hit?”

“I didn’t mean that…” Han Yang thought, anyway, the investor of YanYan Media is the Qi Ye, and it would be no difficulty for the company to rent another property, so he smiled favorably at Du YouWei, “If you say so, he will undoubtedly be popular!”

Du YouWei threw him a look that “you know what you’re doing”; “The three of you will have a training class together starting today. When there is a certain result, I will arrange work for you.”

Han Yang sized up Huang YueLin, whose appearance looked like he didn’t trust much: “He looks pretty good, but he doesn’t seem to have much foundation.”

Du YouWei said: “He fights very well, at least it means that he is agile and flexible!”

“Is that so?” Han Yang imitated Bruce Lee’s action and touched his nose, “When I was a student, I used to beat all the enemies in school, so I knew one or two tricks.”

Huang YueLin looked back at him: “One trick is enough.”

“Hey, you still look down on people. That is…” Before the word “bad” in Han Yang’s mouth came out, Huang YueLin had already backhanded, locking his hands behind his back, and pressing his shoulders to force him to kneel on the ground.

“It hurts, brother, I was wrong, brother.” Han Yang kept begging Huang YueLin to let go of his hands, his arrogance just now had long since disappeared.

Meng Xi, who was standing next to him, looked stunned, and spontaneously applauded Huang YueLin: “That’s amazing.”

Huang YueLin let go of the screaming Han Yang, who felt his whole body was falling apart and sat down on his butt.  Huang YueLin looked down at Han Yang who was incompetent, and asked him contemptuously: “Did you go to a girls’ school before?”

“…” For the sake of his dignity, Han Yang jumped up from the ground at once, “I was not ready just now, if you dare, come at me again!”

Huang YueLin’s hand reached towards him, before it touched him, Han Yang immediately wimped out: “Brother, brother, I was joking with you! You are my big brother now, remember to take care of me more!”

Meng Xi: “…” I really don’t want to admit that I am in the same group with this person.

After Huang YueLin joined, life in the dormitory became a lot livelier. Although Meng Xi and Huang YueLin are not the kind of people who like to talk, Han Yang alone can say for all the three of them.

Gu Shi’s scenes in the “Jing Hong Zhai” has also officially ended, and the days of appearing in the dormitory have been much longer than before. Du YouWei’s plan for him was to let him develop personally, but right now there was nothing to work on for the time being, so Gu Shi went to a training class with Meng Xi and the others.

While Du YouWei was reviewing and preparing her thesis, the days unconsciously came to December. This is a very important month for YanYan Media, because in this month, the training camp program is officially started, and “Jing Hong Zhai” will be broadcasted as scheduled.

Because the second male Song Qiu has changed actors once, the official blog of the drama reposted Song Qiu’s makeup photos before going online. YanYan Media has also opened its own official Weibo, which was initially managed three people in turn: administration, front desk, and finance. Now Du YouWei has also recruited people to take charge of the operation of Weibo.

The groups and individual artists under YanYan Media have also opened Weibo in accordance with Du YouWei’s request. Although there are not many fans now, Du YouWei believes that the future will get better and better.

The final image of Gu Shi was released, sparking a heated debate among comic enthusiasts. Song Qiu is a well-known character in the comic. He was also the one who differed the most from the original work in the photo that was shared previously.

This time Gu Shi’s photo shows that although some people are still complaining, it is not one-sided criticism anyway. Half of the people are shouting “Ahhhhhhhhhh!”, “So handsome!” and so on.

Gu Shi looked really handsome in military uniform, otherwise Zhang ShaoYan would not have specially rushed to the filming site at that time to show Du YouWei and does a guest appearance as Shen NianLin.

Gu Shi’s photos are a warm-up for the start of “Jing Hong Zhai”. With Du YouWei’s eager anticipation, the official launch of “Jing Hong Zhai” is finally ushered in!

In the first week of the broadcast, the platform released eight episodes in one go, and from the second week, six episodes were updated every week. Gu Shi is the second male lead, and he doesn’t have as many roles as the protagonist, but he appeared in the first episode. Song Qiu’s character is a handsome man, especially stunning when he debuted in the comic.

The drama version completely restored the lens of the comic. Originally the director was worried that such a two-dimensional technique and sub-mirror would appear awkward, but after the filming, the effect was exceptionally good, and Gu Shi just relied on his body and appearance.

Of course, the director felt that his shooting skills also played a decisive role.

Song Qiu’s debut became the first hot spot after the broadcast of “Jing Hong Zhai”. Du YouWei doesn’t need to be on Weibo, just swipe the Moments, and she can see a lot of her friends yelling and reposting his animated picture.

Du YouWei took advantage of the momentum to do marketing for Gu Shi, and the size of it was just right. Now the show has just been aired and it is not suitable for excessive force.

The show’s popularity on all major social media platforms has continued to climb in the first week of its broadcast, with the number of viewers reaching the number one spot on the platform for the same period of time. As the CEO of YanYan Media, Du YouWei was naturally overjoyed, so she planned a dinner to celebrate the accomplishment.

Everyone has heard that the company wants to have a dinner party, they are all rejoicing. Although the male idols have to keep in shape and do not dare to eat and drink recklessly, it is still possible to have snacks and drinks occasionally.

Ye WenXiu and Xu Hang were in the training camp and couldn’t come back. The rest of the people gathered and enthusiastically discussed where they were going to eat.

“Boss, in the end we voted unanimously to eat barbecue!” Han Yang raised his hand and loudly announced the result of their discussion with Du YouWei.

Du YouWei nodded and said: “Okay, then I will inform Zhang ShaoYan.”

The room was instantly silent, and even the jubilant atmosphere just now suddenly dissipated. Du YouWei, halt in typing, looked up at them uncertainly, “What’s wrong?”

Everyone glanced at each other, and finally all stared at the oldest Gu Shi.

Gu Shi: “…”

Gu Shi had no choice but to speak for everyone: “Is Qi Ye going too?”

“Yes.” Du YouWei answered quite naturally, “He’s paying for it today!”

The crowd was silent for a while, Han Yang raised his hand and said, “Then we have to renegotiate and change to something more expensive to eat.”

Du YouWei: “…”
