Besides, he has a bad attitude. What does she like about him, anyway?
“If I give it to you, can you even wear it like Rong Si?” Zhong Ya angrily replied.
Jiang Hao’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Alright, suit yourself. He doesn’t like you at all, but you insist on throwing yourself at him. I wonder how your father will feel if he knows of this.”
Rong Si unhappily interrupted them. “Are you done? Please leave.”
“Rong Si, do you really not want this suit? Do you have to wear that cheap outfit on stage to receive the award? This… isn’t too much, right? Why don’t you want it when it’s the better choice?”
“Because he only wants it if it’s from me!” Su Jiu walked over and took Rong Si’s arm. “Isn’t that right, Big Brother? If I give you this suit, you’ll accept it, won’t you?” she asked him deliberately.
Rong Si inclined his head. “Of course.”
“You!” Zhong Ya gritted her teeth. Why is this d*mn girl still in the room? Did she really spend the night with Rong Si?
This girl has bewitched Rong Si!
“What about me? You keep pestering Rong Si. Isn’t that annoying? If you keep pestering him, I won’t be nice to you anymore.”
Zhong Ya seemed to have heard a joke. “You?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Zhong Ya choked. Seeing that Su Jiu was serious and did not seem to be joking, she hesitated. Could it be that this girl is not as useless as I thought?
If she had no merits other than being beautiful, why would someone like Rong Si fancy her? After all, he didn’t even fancy Zhong Ya!
Zhong Ya could only look at Rong Si again and say, “Rong Si, let me ask you again. Do you really not want this suit?”
“No,” Rong Si replied straightforwardly.
“Alright, I’ll give it to you!” Zhong Ya gritted her teeth and stuffed the gift box into Jiang Hao’s arms. Then, she turned around and angrily left.
Jiang Hao glanced at the expensive suit, feeling his mood suddenly improve. He then glanced at Rong Si and felt that Rong Si did not know how to appreciate favors. How could he refuse such a good thing?
In that case, I’ll wear this expensive gown tonight. At that time, there would be a lot of eyes on me!
After Zhong Ya and Jiang Hao left, Su Jiu gloomily puffed up her cheeks and turned to look at Rong Si’s shirt. “Big Brother, they don’t seem to like the shirt I bought for you.”
“I don’t mind,” Rong Si said, then added after a pause, “They have no taste.”
As far as he was concerned, no matter how expensive the gifts from those people were, they couldn’t compare to the gifts Su Jiu had given him.
Her gifts would always be the best.
Su Jiu was indignant, but she remembered that the award ceremony would indeed have a lot of reporters tonight. The little villain had to dress formally, so she took his hand. “Big Brother, let’s go buy you clothes, shall we?”
“No, I’ll just wear this.” Rong didn’t think the shirt she’d bought him was bad. On the contrary, he wanted to go on stage wearing it. That way, it would be as if she were beside him.
“Come on. I’ll buy you a new set! If you don’t agree, I’ll ignore you.” Su Jiu’s tone changed from a gentle one to a demanding one in an instant.
Rong Si was speechless.
What else could he say to that?
He had no choice but to agree. “Okay, I’ll go.”
Su Jiu brought him to the shopping mall, and they walked into a luxury brand store. She helped Rong Si choose the suits in seriousness. She let him try on several sets and they all looked good. Therefore, Su Jiu simply said to the shop assistant, “We’ll buy them all.”
Rong Si immediately said, “There’s no need to buy so many.”
“We have to get them all, Big Brother. You might have to attend an afterparty. Then, you can just change.” Su Jiu felt that Rong Si looked ridiculously good in any outfit, as if it had been tailor-made for him. It would be a pity not to buy these clothes.
Rong Si was troubled. “But it’s expensive.”
These suits would cost at least a hundred dollars. He did not want her to spend that much money.
“It’s not expensive! Think about it, Big Brother. You’ve already given yourself to me. I’m just giving you a few suits. I’ll earn it back no matter what!”
Rong Si laughed. When she insisted like that, he had no choice but to go along with her. “Okay then.”
Of course, he wouldn’t let her spend money for nothing. After he had earned money and had paid off the money he owed Su Shengjing and Sheng Tianci, he would give Su Jiu the rest, including everything he earned later. That would all be hers.
In short, what was his would be hers.
***
The award ceremony in the evening was held at a five-star hotel in the city. The red carpet was laid all the way in, and many reporters came early to wait. Although it was the ceremony for an academic award, it was prestigious enough to attract media attention.
As night fell, luxury cars drove into the hotel one after another. Many industry leaders got out of the cars. Reporters surrounded them with cameras and did their best to interview them.
In his hotel room, Rong Si had changed into a well-tailored black suit. His inner shirt was a white shirt with the top button unbuttoned. This suit completely matched his figure, making him look tall and slender. Just his legs alone seemed to be 1.8 meters tall. He had an extraordinary aura and looked ridiculously handsome.
As she stood in front of him, Su Jiu adjusted the collar of his shirt and even brushed the nonexistent dust off his shoulders. Then, she looked him up and down in satisfaction, her eyes sparkling. “No way, no way! Which family’s beautiful young man is this? How can he be allowed to walk around like this? He’ll attract everyone’s attention!
“For the sake of world peace and so many heartbroken teenage girls, shouldn’t this beautiful young man be kept at home, locked away, so that he can’t go anywhere?”
Hearing her words, Rong Si couldn’t help but smile. He looked down at her and said, “Why? Do you want to lock me in the house?”
Su Jiu pursed her lips. “If you misbehave and seduce people and cause me trouble, then I’ll really think about it.”
Rong Si’s smile widened. “Then, I’ll just seduce you.”
“Good!” But seriously, the little villain looks incredibly handsome in a suit. Su Jiu could imagine how handsome he would look when he became a big shot and sat in the CEO’s office in a suit and tie, giving orders.
Just thinking about it made her fall head over heels in love!
In short, for Su Jiu, this villain from the original novel was more handsome than the male lead, Li Mohan!
At this moment, the doorbell rang. The ones and the door were obviously Professor Zhong and the others, as it was time to go to the award ceremony.
Su Jiu reached out and pinched Rong Si’s cheek. “Big Brother, go with them first. Xinyan and I will follow.”
Rong Si inclined his head and wrapped her hand in his. “You have to come too. It’ll be boring if you don’t.”
Su Jiu suddenly laughed. “This award ceremony is so important to so many people. Only you would say it’s boring. I wonder how the organizers feel after hearing this.”
“Anyway, it’s no fun if you don’t come.” Rong Si stressed. Su Jiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “All right, all right. Just so you think the first award ceremony of your life is interesting, I’ll come along.”
Rong Si lowered his head and kissed her lips. Satisfied, he turned and walked out the door.
Zhong Ya had been standing outside waiting for him. As soon as he walked out, her eyes lit up. His looks stunned her.
She had long imagined that Rong Si would look handsome in a suit, but she did not expect him to be so handsome!
At this moment, she suddenly felt crazily jealous of Su Jiu. Such a handsome and outstanding man belonged to that girl. Su Jiu was really lucky!
The moment Jiang Hao saw Rong Si, his heart skipped a beat. He was also stunned. He had especially changed into the suit Zhong Ya had given him and thought that he looked handsome. But now, he suddenly felt that in front of Rong Si, his handsomeness paled.
Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he knew it was true!
He could already imagine the commotion when Rong Si would appear on camera.
As it turned out, he was right. As soon as Rong Si stepped on the hotel’s red carpet, many reporters turned their cameras on him. Oh my God! Oh my God! Is this a celebrity? He is so handsome!
Many of the women at the venue also looked at him, unable to hide the desire in their eyes. The people in the academic world were all bald old men. If they weren’t bald, then they were old. In short, they were not good-looking. When had these women seen such a handsome young man before?
It really put a new spin on their understanding of academic men.
Rong Si didn’t like being photographed like this. With an expressionless face, he followed Professor Zhong into the hotel.
Not long after, Su Jiu and Song Xinyan arrived at the hotel. Looking at the crowd and the many reporters, they knew how grand the award ceremony was.
Su Jiu found a seat at the bottom of the stage and sat down with Song Xinyan. When Rong Si turned his head to look around for her, she raised her hand and waved at him. In the dense crowd, Rong Si spotted Su Jiu’s small hand and face, and a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes. The displeasure he felt from having cameras shoved in his face instantly dissipated.
The award ceremony was about to begin. Su Jiu called her father and excitedly said, “Hello? Daddy, the award ceremony is about to begin. Quickly go online and take a look.”
Su Shengjing’s arrogant voice came from the other end. “Hmph, what am I looking at? Isn’t it just that brat who won the award? It’s not like you won the award. What’s there to see?”
Su Jiu suppressed a smile. “Daddy, I’m there too. You might see me in the audience.”
“Really? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’m going to watch it immediately.” Su Shengjing happened to be in the study at this moment. As he spoke, he turned on the laptop in front of him and found the live broadcast. After clicking on it, the first thing he did was to look for Su Jiu in the crowd.
However, he did not see her. Instead, he saw the brat who had been coveting his daughter for who knew how long.
When Su Shengjing saw Rong Si’s neat black suit and the many reporters clamoring to take pictures of him, he snorted in disdain.
Fine, this kid looks decent today.
He had heard that the award Rong Si would get this time was the most prestigious award in the academic world. Su Shengjing did not expect that kid to receive such an award. He watched the broadcast seriously and kept his attention on Rong Si.
Then, it struck him that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, I was doing this to see my daughter. Why am I paying attention to that brat?!
