Chapter 227 She Doesn’t Want to Be Labeled
Qiao Chuchu stayed in France for a week. Every day, Huo Yunzheng followed her wherever she went, never leaving her side.
The dignified President Huo has transformed himself into the follower of the beautiful Qiao, who is proficient in everything from protecting her personal safety to carrying her bag.
He wanted to talk to his wife from time to time, but Qiao Chuchu still ignored him.
A week later, the three returned home together.
At the Beijing Airport, Huo Yunzheng looked at his wife cautiously and asked her if she was willing to return to Lishuiju.
Huo Ziyan also held his mother's hand, tilted his head back, his eyes full of anticipation.
Qiao Chuchu couldn't face her son's eyes. During these few days of getting along, she could feel Huo Yunzheng's indulgence and pampering of her in every way.
He was extremely kind to her, and if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would immediately find a way to give them to her.
However, she doesn't want to go back yet.
"The store has been very busy these days. I am not going to France just to relax and travel. I have to discuss with the designers we work with when I return. There are many things to do."
Huo Yunzheng's eyes dimmed. After all, she still hadn't forgiven him.
"I know I was wrong. I failed to protect you and the child." He apologized again.
As people came and went, Qiao Chuchu smiled.
"It's not your fault. I just found that I can't adapt to the life in your family. I don't want to waste time and energy on these intrigues and cautions."
She remembered clearly what Mr. Huo said and what Huo Jiachuan said.
"Huo Yunzheng, in the eyes of your Huo family, I have always been your vassal, but I, Qiao Chuchu, don't want this to happen."
Even though her actual background was not worse than his, many people felt that she was marrying above her station by marrying him.
Qiao Chuchu didn't want to be Mrs. Huo, and didn't want to be labeled as a woman kept by Huo Yunzheng.
Good wife and loving mother are indeed commendatory terms, but her value should not be limited to this.
This was the truth she finally understood after she lost her child.
She also didn't want Huo Yunzheng to fulfill his so-called promise and leave the Huo family.
In that case, she will still be the one bearing the blame.
Beauty is a disaster, disrespect for elders, no conscience, no filial piety...
Without even thinking about it, all these words would be attached to her and she would not be able to explain them clearly.
"Chu Chu, I never thought of it this way."
Huo Yunzheng was a little anxious. Damn it, he should have been ruthless and left the Huo family earlier to give her an explanation.
"I know." Qiao Chuchu smiled again.
"Let's talk about our relationship after this period of time. I don't want to go back to Lishuiju so early. Give me some space, okay?"
Her tone was gentle, just like when they were together before, but Huo Yunzheng saw a hint of alienation in her eyes.
Uneasiness and tension filled his whole body. He had no confidence and no self-assurance. She was like a gust of wind and might leave him at any time.
Huo Yunzheng felt an impulse. He wanted to take her away, not back to Lishuiju, but to a place where no one knew and hide her.
She can only belong to him, Huo Yunzheng.
But his remaining sanity told him that he couldn't do that.
Jiang Chuxia said that Chuchu had just recovered a little, and he must not force her, let her fall into the center of the emotional vortex again, and watch her being swallowed up.
"Mom, the baby wants to go with you!"
Huo Ziyan grabbed Qiao Chuchu's clothes and refused to let go, his eyes full of tears. He had been in France these days, and his mother had taken good care of him, hugging him and kissing him.
If they had known that their mother would leave on her own, they would have rather stayed abroad and never come back.
Qiao Chuchu squatted down, looked into her son's eyes, and tried to calm him down.
"Mom promises you that whenever you want to see me, you can come to the store to find me anytime, or I will pick you up, okay?"
Huo Ziyan wanted to keep him, but Huo Yunzheng looked at him and the little guy suddenly didn't dare to speak.
"The driver is waiting for us. He will take you back to the Jing family first."
He compromised again.
As long as Chuchu is happy, he will support her no matter what she wants to do.
Of course, divorce is an exception.
He has enough patience to wait, and he will always stay by her side and never leave her.
……
Inside the Yanyu Jiahua crew.
Li Jiuer was wearing a cheongsam from the Republic of China period. Her hairstyle was the hand-pushed waves that were popular at that time, and her hair was smooth and neatly winding across her forehead.
Her makeup was bright and delicate, and just sitting there she looked like a painting.
Assistant Zhuzi handed her the thermos cup, sat beside her, supported her chin with both hands, and blinked her starry eyes.
"Sister, your new look today is so beautiful, so stunning!"
Li Jiuer glanced at her with a smile, raised her chin slightly, and deliberately put on a proud little expression.
"Don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend."
Zhuzi was embarrassed for a moment. Maybe her sister didn’t use the Internet much, but she was still using such an old joke from hundreds of years ago.
It's break time now. The stagehands are setting up a new backdrop. Li Jiuer is drinking water and familiarizing herself with the lines for the next scene. The director walks over.
Beside him were the male lead of the show, Liu Yining, and his agent, Wang Zhi.
"Jiu'er, are you reciting the lyrics?"
The director had a kind face. He was more than 20 years older than Li Jiuer. In front of these young actors, he was both the chief director and an elder.
"Director Gao." Li Jiuer stood up and greeted him.
His eyes fell on Liu Yining, who was also wearing a costume.
The man is in his early thirties and just won the Best Actor Award some time ago. He is a popular actor in the circle.
"Brother Ning, Brother Wang."
In this circle, the most taboo thing is to be impolite and to play tricks. The relationship between seniors and juniors is clear, and Li Jiuer usually treats those who have more seniority than her with courtesy.
Liu Yining nodded without any expression.
As the male lead of the drama, he also has several love scenes with the supporting character played by Li Jiuer.
I've been filming scenes opposite her these past few days. Although this woman isn't a professional, she has a pretty good sense and her acting skills are passable, so it's been a pleasure working with her.
"Jiu'er, this is the case. Our drama is in the promotion period. Reporters and fans visit the set every day. We need to send some materials. You and Yining have a love scene in the drama. Do you think you can cooperate? Let's go to the set..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jiuer already understood what he meant.
"Director, do you want me to have a relationship with my senior?"
The director nodded repeatedly. Pairing up and hyping up couples is a common method used by every crew. If you want to make the drama popular and make the audience feel involved, the male and female actors must cooperate.
It’s not that difficult actually. Just let them communicate more on the set, play around occasionally, and make them look more intimate.
In this circle, there are many artists who rely on this method to maintain high popularity, and the benefits brought by traffic are quite considerable.
Liu Yining looked at Li Jiuer, still expressionless, as if he was used to it.
"Thank you for your hard work. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in front of him opened her red lips slightly, and said something that surprised everyone present.
"Sorry, I don't want to cooperate."
