Loving Asia's Multi-Talented Queen: The Path to Stardom 127 Venus Et Fleur

Xu Jia Li gazed at the retreating form of Meng Lulu. She didn't know why she felt really uneasy every time she was near. It might be due to her lack of social skills, or the fact that she really had struggle trusting people. Whichever the reason was, she really couldn't find herself to ease up with her.

She looked at the pink paper bag. It was really a sweet gesture. For people to remember what you like would mean that they did care. She sat on the leather stool before she opened the paper bag.

There were ten dried persimmon candies wrapped in colorful parchment papers. She took one and gave it to Shen Linqin, "Try this."

"You're indeed loved by many people, Li-jie," Shen Linqin teased her as she took the candy.

"Linqin, since it's you who accepted the flowers, you can take them with you," Xu Jia Li spoke in a serious tone, "Next time, I'd really appreciate it if you won't decide on my behalf… especially regarding Yun-ge."

"Sorry, Li-jie. I just… feel bad about Yun-ge. He's been in love with you for so long," Shen Linqin responded apologetically.

"I'll let it pass this time, okay?" she patted Shen Linqin's head as she motioned her to eat the persimmon candies.

They both enjoyed eating the candies as they waited for Xu Jia Li's scenes.

"Xiexie, this is what I've got. Look. Isn't she a bitch?"

"Yes, she is. But where did you get this video?"

"Don't ask anymore. I'm giving this to you because I know that you can use it. Just remember, if ever you got caught, don't ever mention my name. I'm doing this because you're a friend."

Tang Xie looked gratefully at Jian Ran, a senior staff in the production team. They were from the same province and it was to their surprise that they were on the same project.

Tang Xie smirked as she gazed at the videos and pictures sent to her by Jian Ran, "Thank you, Ran. I didn't know this woman is really a bitch. She really knows how to seduce men. Look at her hugging CEO Si! She's a dirty promiscuous woman. Look here, she's even flirting with Luo Daming and now, it's Li Yun."

"I told you. If you want Lulu to remain in the industry, you must know how to play their game."

"You're right. This videos and pictures will come in handy," something flashed in Tang Xie's eyes as she stared at the 'gems' she had on her phone.

How could she let the opportunity go? She would use it to destroy Xu Jia Li. At all cost.

A loud commotion could be heard among the crews and the watching fans which made Shen Linqin frowned. She stood from her seat as she gazed at the commotion.

"Why are they so noisy?"

Xu Jia Li only ignored it as she took another piece of dried persimmon candy. She joyfully took a bite as she read her script.

"Woah! That's a huge bouquet!"

"Who is it for? Oh my gosh! That's really pretty."

"That's Ecuadorian roses!"

"Yes! Oh my! Look how huge that is!"

Everyone had their eyes focused on the huge bouquet of assorted Ecuadorian roses. It was about one meter long and arranged beautifully in a white rectangular box with gold ribbon tied around it. It was so beautiful and colorful that it took their breath away.

Two delivery men carried it as they approached Xu Jia Li. The entire crews and the fans couldn't help but gasp when they saw them handing the bouquet to Xu Jia Li.

"Is it for her again? Is it from Li Yun?"

"Who is it from?"

"Don't tell me it's from Luo Daming?"

"Ahh, whoever it was from, I really give it to Miss Xu. No one can beat her. She just received a bouquet from Li Yun and now, another one's given to her."

"Ahh, I wish I'm that beautiful!"

"Are those eternity roses? It must cost a lot! Those are plenty of eternity roses. I only see them in magazines!"

"You're right. I guess, it must be from the famous flower shop in Europe. Based from the logo, it must be from Venus Et Fleur."

Xu Jia Li was surprised when the two delivery men approached her and placed the huge bouquet on the table. The name of the flower shop was artfully written in front, Venus Et Fleur. She didn't know that the chattering she heard was about this huge bouquet.

"Miss Xu, please put your signature here."

Xu Jia Li signed her name on the form before she said, "Who sent this?"

"We have no idea, ma'am."

After the delivery men left, she looked at the small pink envelope at the side. She took the letter inside.

My Love,

Five hundred and twenty colorful roses for the woman who makes my life even more colorful and meaningful… I can't concentrate because your beautiful face keeps haunting me.

As the old proverb says, "Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them…" Likewise, I hope to be always with you as you receive my love…
