Chapter 544: Watch a Movie Together

The Ruan family mansion’s garden was huge. There were fake mountains and flowing water, and flowers and trees were scattered. The scenery was elegant.
At night, there was a little snow. It was fine like salt and had yet to melt when it landed on the verdant bamboo.
Ruan Chu and Ji Linbai took a walk on the stone path between the bamboo under the light of the villa.
Ever since the variety show ended, Ruan Chu had been running around the country. She had returned to school to finish her exams, filmed, and participated in activities. Meanwhile, Ji Linbai had been staying in Jin City. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time.
However, they often contacted each other online.
As one of Ruan Chu’s fans, Ji Linbai knew Ruan Chu’s movements like the back of his hand.
“I didn’t expect Dr. Ji to stay in Jin City for the new year. I didn’t prepare anything. Apologies for playing a bad host.’
Ruan Chu knew that Ji Linbai was a member of the Ji family in the capital.
“Chuchu’s food is delicious.’
Ruan Chu smiled and said casually, “If you like it, you can come to my house often in the future. I’ll cook personally. I saw Grandpa chatting happily with you at dinner. He should like you quite a lot. I haven’t seen him invite anyone to our house for so many years.”
Ji Linbai immediately agreed. “Alright.”
Old Master Ruan, who was taking a walk with the housekeeper but was secretly spying on them, was stunned.
How could Chuchu tell that he liked that kid surnamed Ji?
If he had known that the netizen was this kid, he wouldn’t have invited him to his house no matter what.
Wasn’t it because he was afraid that Ji Linbai would expose his identity in front of Chuchu?
Moreover, couldn’t that kid tell that Chuchu was just being polite? He actually agreed right away?
After that, Old Master Ruan heard that Ji Linbai had asked Ruan Chu out to watch a movie tomorrow.
This new New Year movie was starring Ruan Chu as the second female lead.
At the time of filming, Ruan Chu’s popularity was not even as high as the female lead.
“It’s quite difficult to get tickets. I only managed to get two at midnight that day.”
It was all thanks to Su Ye that he was able to get two tickets in a row.
Ruan Chu agreed in surprise. “I wanted to go too, but I didn’t manage to get a ticket. Thank you, Dr. Ji.”
She had only debuted for a short period of time and did not film many movies. In the past, she did not rely on her family, hid her identity, and acted in movies. However, she would go and watch them.
She liked acting and would re-examine her performance from the perspective of a bystander. She would make conclusions and strive for improvement.
Old Master Ruan was jealous when he heard that. Damn it, he didn’t even manage to get a ticket for Chuchu’s movie!
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival.
It was snowing early in the morning, and a thin mist enveloped the entire Jin City.
The Ruan family’s old residence had been decorated with couplets and red lanterns yesterday. It was quite festive.
Gu Yang’s family stayed at the old residence for the night. After breakfast, they were about to go back when a black Bentley stopped at the door.
“Dad, the flight was delayed yesterday. Our family just rushed back this morning and didn’t make it to spend New Year’s Eve with you.”
The middle-aged man who got out of the passenger seat walked up to Old Master Ruan and apologized.
Gu Yang recognized him. This was the Ruan family’s eldest uncle, Ruan Zhiying, who was overseas all year round.
Ruan Xueling was dissatisfied with this. “Can’t Eldest Brother come back a day earlier? Why did you have to rush back on New Year’s Eve?”
Ruan Zhiying looked embarrassed to be criticized by his younger sister in front of so many juniors. “Business is too busy.”
Old Master Ruan’s expression was indifferent. “Since you’re back, go in first.”
He then looked at Ruan Zhihao, who had gotten out of the driver’s seat. “What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you home on New Year’s Eve?”
Ruan Zhihao drank too much with his brother at the nightclub last night. When he woke up, it was already dawn. When he found out that his brother’s family had arrived at the airport, he took the initiative to drive to pick them up.
What he was thinking was that if the two brothers returned together, one more person would be scolded and they could share the firepower..
