Li Xiujie remembered the phone call from Director Zhang and immediately frowned. “No wonder Zhang Zhen said those words to me. So it was Lu Ting who pressured him? How did you offend him anyway? Could it be…”

“His grandfather wanted to keep me in the Lu family but I refused. I didn’t want to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore. I wanted to start my own business. That was the reason I offended Lu Ting.”

The man lowered his head and had another bite of food, frowning deeply in silence for a long time.

He admitted that he had some feelings for Li Murou because of her rare talent in cooking. At this moment, he didn’t think this was so bad.

He said, “The Lu family is powerful and I can’t fight with them. Murou, if you can’t keep the Swallow Canteen open anymore, and if you don’t mind, we could get married.”

Li Murou had long guessed that this man had feelings for her, but she didn’t expect him to be so direct. After freezing up for a moment, she acted surprised. “You…” Then, she blushed and turned her head down.

Li Xiujie wanted to hide Li Murou so that she would only be able to cook for him. He wanted to taste the soup she made with her own hands when he was extremely tired.

Li Xiujie put his soup down and reached over to take her hand. “Murou, even though we haven’t known each other for long, I appreciate your character and your food. I may not be able to leave your food again in this lifetime. Marry me.”

Li Murou did not refuse. Blushing, she nodded.

In order to avoid tossing and turning in bed that night, Li Xiujie immediately took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau and obtained a marriage certificate in a hurry.

The staff who did the marriage procedures for them were shocked. The Film Emperor actually got married to internet celebrity Li Murou out of nowhere!!???

…

That afternoon, when Li Xing received Li Xiujie’s news, he was so shocked that he almost fell down the stairs.

At 35 years old, it was indeed the right time for Li Xiujie to get married. He had only received the Film Emperor award two years prior and won more than ten awards both domestically and internationally through a single movie last year. With the help of Li Xing’s company, his value and class kept on rising, turning him into one of the representative actors of Mainland China.

Li Xing thought that Li Xiujie liked Li Murou’s food at the very best, and that was why he defended her in every way. But he never would have expected that Li Xiujie would actually be so muddle-headed as to marry this internet celebrity out of nowhere.

After bubbling up for two days, the Li Murou incident reached an all-time-high climax. Her persona collapsed, which led to the collapse of the persona that Li Xiujie had been building up for many years as well.

With how smoothly Li Xiujie’s career had been, it made him come across arrogant. But that didn’t bother him. He could die without regrets as long as he could eat his darling wife’s delicious food every day.

Li Xing’s company was very demanding of its artists, and it was clear that the collapse of Li XIujie’s persona was going to be bad for the future. Li Xing persuaded him time and time again but Li Xiujie remained stubborn. He even followed Li Murou’s pillow talk and terminated his contract with Jiachen Media.

Li Xing may have lost a talented actor, but he didn’t make him stay.

After Li Xiujie terminated his contract, Li Xing also mobilized the marketing team which had been suppressed for a long time. Not only that, but Li Xing’s people also dug out Li Murou’s situation during her school days. But since he never found the opportunity, Li Xing kept it down until now.

Heavy bombs should be thrown at the most appropriate time in order to shake things up the most.

A retired teacher accepted the media’s real name interview, and she said in the video:

“Oh, you’re talking about that girl Li Rou? I know her. I have an especially deep impression of that girl. I was her class teacher back then and the girl liked to fight, smoke, and also led a group of people to bully her classmates. I asked her to call her parents over but the one who came was Mr. Lu. The principal received him personally. At that time, the teachers and students all thought she was his granddaughter!”

“After that, she became even more unruly in class. During a more serious case, she even hit an English teacher. It was only later when the child went to high school that we learned that she wasn’t from the Lu family at all, just the daughter of their chef. She’s a very vain girl and even bragged everywhere that Lu Ting was her boyfriend. She was asked to withdraw from high school since her grades were not good and her character was also bad. What kind of food could a girl like that cook?”
