Chapter 97: Double Standard

Si Jingchuan was speechless.
Sonya was speechless.
The director was speechless.
10 minutes?
She would learn it now?
Ten minutes was fine, but she didn’t even know how to surf? Then what was the point of joining in the fun?
While the crowd was still in a daze, Su Ji had already been taken away by a surfing coach who was paid 120 yuan an hour.
The group looked at each other. In the end, Si Jingchuan smiled and said, “it’s not like we can’t wait 10 minutes. Maybe she’ll really learn it in time…”
The team didn’t have any better ideas, so they could only follow along.
In the beginning, Su Ji had to lie on the surfboard. Someone in front drove the speedboat, and the speed gradually increased.
Su Ji had to maintain her balance during this process and stand up on the surfboard.
It was definitely a steep learning curve.
When she stood up for the first time, Su Ji fell into the water. Si Jingchuan and Yang Xiaotao were extremely nervous. However, before they could walk forward, Su Ji jumped out of the water. She placed her hand on the surfboard and said without any hesitation, “again!”
After falling into the water twice, Su Ji actually managed to stand up on the third try!
She stood with her legs apart, her arms outstretched to maintain her balance, and she was half-squatting.
After a few more minutes, Su Ji became more and more skilled at controlling the surfboard.
The violent waves crashed toward them, and the people on the sh.o.r.e gasped.
However, Su Ji did not panic at all. She took advantage of the opportunity and lowered her body. Her whole body was carried by the surfboard, and she emerged from the wave!
Although Su Ji did not know how to surf, she had once drifted on the sea for ten days with her mother before she became a demon concubine!
The people by the beach became so excited! The cameraman couldn’t help but record a part of it in advance.
In just 10 minutes, they witnessed the birth of a surfing G.o.d?
Si Jingchuan bit his thumb. Was surfing that simple?
Su Ji’s excellence would make him, a seven-foot man, look incompetent!
With Su Ji’s help, the shooting went very smoothly.
Si Jingchuan was engrossed in the video when Fu Xiaofeng jogged over with his phone in his hand.
“Jingshen, you have a call!”
Normally, he wouldn’t pick up a phone call during filming, but he didn’t dare to ignore this call.
The other end of the line said something and Si Jingchuan furrowed his brows. “I know, dad. I don’t think you’ve got a son at an old age. You’ve given me a son… Okay, okay, okay, why are you shouting? I’m sick. Alright, I’m done here. I’ll go and see that poor boy now.”
After hanging up the phone, Si Jingchuan asked Fu Xiaofeng to inform the staff.
He took one last look at the calm girl in the waves, smiled, got into the car, and left.
**
In the parking lot to a private plane in M State, ten muscular bodyguards carefully carried more than 20 boxes of Pei Xi’s stuff onto the plane.
These were all the stuff that Pei Xi had bought when she came here for a vacation.
She was going to bring all of them back to…her future sister-in-law!
On the plane, Pei Xi gave her husband, who was a Hollywood star, a call.
Bill, a Hollywood superstar, was voted by the netizens as the most charming man for ten consecutive years.
Initially, Pei Xi had chosen this husband because he was good-looking, but she had forgotten that he was also very rich!
The Pei family was already rich enough, and so was her husband!
What a tragedy!
On the other end of the phone, the man’s voice was deep and magnetic, and he spoke in a foreign language fluently, “baby, have you finally thought of me and are coming home?”
“I do miss you, but…I have to go back to my country first…” Pei Xi smiled.
Bill was so anxious that he started speaking Chinese, “ah? Why so sudden?”
Pei Xi replied, “who else could it be? It’s for my third brother. He’s almost 30 years old and there’s finally something going on. I have to go back and check on him.”
“Pei Huai? Is it a boy or a girl?” Bill asked immediately.
Pei Xi was speechless.
She was about to answer, but she wasn’t entirely sure.
“She looks like a woman in the photo,” she said.
“I’m not sure,” Bill said.
When he received the news that Pei Xi had already boarded the plane, Pei Huai was driving to the seaside in the suburbs of A City.
It was Su Ji’s first day of outdoor shooting.
He came right after a meeting.
When he arrived, Su Ji had just finished filming.
Pei Huai nodded at Sonya when he saw her.
Sonya also nodded to him. At this moment, she was not as arrogant as usual. However, just as she was about to ask something, he was already walking away.
Pei Huai saw that she was wearing a sweatshirt, her whole body was wet, and a towel was wrapped around her. His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Yang Xiaotao said, “Su Ji, look! It’s the boss!”
Su Ji dried her hair and walked forward when she saw Pei Huai.
Pei Huai looked at her for a long time before his gaze fell on her hand that was holding the towel.
Sonya came over. “Although it’s her first day of shooting, she did a good job.”
“Ms. Sonya, is this how your crew ensures the safety of the artists?” Pei Huai said coldly.
Sonya immediately became nervous, “what happened? I’ll send her to the hospital if she’s injured.”
The next second, Pei Huai pulled Su Ji’s hand and extended it in front of Sonya.
Sonya’s face was about to touch Su Ji’s skin when she saw a…shallow, bloodless “big” wound about 4mm long.
Su Ji was speechless.
Yang Xiaotao was speechless.
Sonya was speechless.
How did he see such a small cut?
If this wound was not bandaged, it would…heal by itself.
However, Pei Huai actually went to the trunk to get the medicine box.
Sonya, who had witnessed all of this, was shocked.
It was as if she had been struck by lightning.
The Pei family were all hopeless romantics. A certain someone had once praised her to the heavens, but he was definitely not as attentive as Pei Huai!
The divorce was the right decision!
Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotao kept her head still and only moved her eyes. She looked at Su Ji and then at the boss.
What’s going on?
When she saw Pei Huai covering the mouth of her idol’s savior during the live broadcast last time, she had told her roommates that Pei Huai was jealous and did not want Su Ji to give the little boy CPR.
However, her roommates laughed at her for thinking too much!
Seeing Yang Xiaotao’s expression, Su Ji said very naturally, “he’s just worried about his employees.”
Yang Xiaotao did not believe her. When the boss returned, she asked carefully, “boss, my hand is injured too.”
“So?” Pei Huai asked without even looking at her.
The double standard! Her guess was absolutely correct!
