Chapter 768: Chapter 768: Where Did This Come From?

Director Li thought the “great-grandchild” Bai Chuwei mentioned was probably Liu Zheng, the talented member of the Liu Family, whose books are still bestsellers in the market.

Liu Yuyou continued to promote herself, “Director Li, my research in classical literature is no less than my brother’s. I’ve also written several bestsellers and have a large fanbase. I’ve achieved everything my brother has.”

Liu Yuyou paused, tears welling up in her eyes, and asked in a low, sad voice, “Or does Director Li think… because I’m a girl, I might not be as capable as a man?”

Director Li: “…”

Li Dongyu almost blurted out a curse word. Was she pinning gender discrimination on him just like that?

He was in the entertainment industry, after all. If he got labeled with that, wouldn’t netizens beat him to death?

Director Li watched Liu Yuyou’s tearful appearance and sneered inwardly.

This might deceive others but he, a director used to seeing acting, couldn’t tell this was a performance?

Director Li thought for a moment and said, “How about this, let me make a call and ask if it’s okay.”

Liu Yuyou’s heart skipped a beat. He still needed to make a call to confirm? Was it to Bai Chuwei or to Bai Chuwei?

If he was calling Bai Chuwei, she might not let her take the role of the chief screenwriter, right?

After class, Bai Chuwei prepared to go home.

These past few days, to ensure the professors’ heart safety, Bai Chuwei decided not to ask for sick leave for a while and planned to get the medicinal materials ready at home to work on the Spiritual Medicine that would break Hanhan’s Soul Locking Array in a few days.

She wasn’t accustomed to riding in cars, and it didn’t take long to walk back to Sky City.

Just stepping into the Sky City mansion, the view inside contrasted starkly with the outside Imperial Capital. The garden of Sky City was like eternal spring, with all kinds of spring flowers blooming, whereas the outside had already seen the flowers and trees wither, almost like two different worlds.

Bai Chuwei frowned slightly, her slender fingers lightly covering her nose, as she caught a familiar scent…

For a moment, she thought it was her imagination.

Bai Chuwei walked into the living room and saw the butler holding a tray, looking all smiles.

“Miss, you’re back?”

Bai Chuwei glanced at the plate in the butler’s hand and asked without showing any emotions, “Who’s that for?”

“Xue Qiu seems to not want cucumber slices anymore, so I had the kitchen prepare some new tomatoes. I was just about to serve them,” the butler said, smilingly wrinkled as he saw Bai Chuwei. “Would you like some, miss?”

Of course, Bai Chuwei would not eat and went upstairs into her room with the butler.

Xue Qiu was on a diet and every day was forcibly put into a hamster wheel to exercise.

Bai Chuwei’s frown deepened, that scent…

Pushing the door open, there indeed stood a luxurious hamster wheel on the desk, with a sleek white hamster sprawled inside, belly up and drooling.

The butler was stunned, “Miss, a few minutes ago when I came in, it was still awake. Did it fall asleep this quickly?”

Do pets fall asleep this quick?

Bai Chuwei’s gaze fell on the fresh, vibrant red roses on the desk, their deep green leaves dotted with dew, the roses and foliage stunningly beautiful.

Bai Chuwei strode forward, slapped Xue Qiu awake with her hand.

“Where did this come from?”

Dizzy, Xue Qiu rubbed its big head and looked at the bunch of red roses beside it. It cried out tragically, ‘Someone just delivered them! Ancestor, you must take up the cause for your Xue Bao. It was him who knocked me out.’

In that moment, Xue Qiu felt grateful for Manager Duan’s kindness.
