The sweetest in the entertainment industry

How are you feeling today?

Seeing his youngest daughter return listlessly, casually tossing her bag onto the sofa and slumping there without saying a word, Lu Nanting quickly brought her a cup of herbal tea.

"The roof was almost blown off the set. Luckily, the sister was thoughtful and arranged a third more security this time. Sigh, this show is too scary."

"Haha, your mom and I watched the live stream at home. The stream crashed several times, it's really popular."

"I'm just afraid I won't be able to control myself. People love gossip even more than money. The highest price for a front-row ticket has been 100,000 yuan. There are four layers of security checks at the entrance, but people still manage to smuggle in rotten eggs and throw them on the stage when they get excited."

"Don't worry, this is nothing. You didn't see what my first concert was like after your mom and I were exposed for having a secret marriage. We weren't well prepared. From the entrance to the seats, the fans from all three groups were mixed together. They were all ready to fight. During that concert, we were afraid that changing costumes would take too long and the audience would start fighting. Changing costumes was as fast as a war. In the end, in order to make up for the time, we sang several more songs in one show."

It's rare to see a solo concert with fans from several different groups, who are clearly at odds with each other.

Lu Nanting has witnessed far too many grand occasions over the years.

Recording a program in a closed venue with only a small audience is, in his opinion, really not enough.

"That couple who got divorced today, they were tearing each other apart on Weibo for seven days and eight nights, and their fans still see each other as enemies. Today, when they were arguing on stage, the fans in the audience stood up to cheer them on. Hey, Dad, how do you tell the audience members who are fans?"

"Since we can't eliminate them, we should openly divide them into camps and sell tickets, make sure there's enough security, and then fence off the audience area so that fans of each couple can sit separately. That way, we'll still have a good show."

"That's terrible."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Qingyan asked, "Where's my mom?"

“One of my artists was cheated on by her boyfriend. She just called me crying, saying she moved out overnight and had nowhere to go, so your mom went to talk to her about it.”

"When does the contract expire? If you're so clueless, you should just terminate it!"

Lu Qingyan's tone was extremely cold, and he became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "It's almost ten o'clock. What is my mother thinking? Going by herself? Where is her assistant? Where is her agent? What kind of employee calls the big boss as soon as something happens?"

If you're an artist and you're not doing enough work in terms of quantity and quality, then dating and living together is just plain stupid.

"What can we do? He's the top salesperson!"

"Sigh, my mom deserves to make so much money. If it were me, I wouldn't care about her!"

"Then why are you back so late?"

The two of them went to the recording site of the show together today. Their eldest daughter came back early in the afternoon, and the three of them had dinner together. They washed up and went to bed not long after. Their younger daughter only came back at this time, so she has probably gone to the law firm to work overtime again.

She said her mother worked very hard for the business, and she was just as dedicated to her own career.

However, today was a little different. Lu Qingyan stood up awkwardly, picked up her bag, and prepared to go upstairs.

"I just...I just had a meal with a client..."

"How many hours did you talk business with? How many clients? The high-profile kind?"

Seeing that his youngest daughter ignored him and instead walked faster and faster, about to go upstairs in the blink of an eye, Lu Nanting instantly understood and his eyes widened immediately!

"You went out with that brat Zhou Weizhen again?? Stop right there! Explain yourself!"

"Oh, Dad, I'm tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

After saying that, he went up to the second floor, and soon after, the sound of the door closing was heard.

Lu Nanting scratched his head and paced back and forth in the living room several times before finally letting out a long sigh and calming himself down.

My daughter is all grown up now and has her own place to live. She only comes back occasionally to stay with us for a few days. She's an adult who can support herself, so it's really not good to interfere too much in her emotional life.

But... this guy surnamed Zhou is different from the other blond guys.

Gu Lanxi didn't return until almost midnight. When she came in, she saw him sitting by the window looking at the moon without turning on the light. He looked extremely melancholy. Assuming he was waiting for her, she took his hand.
"Alright, everything's taken care of. Go wash up and go to bed!"

Lu Nanting was led by her to stand up, sighed deeply, and told her about Zhou Weizhen.

“Yuanyuan went out to eat with that Zhou guy again today.”

"Don't keep calling her that, it's impolite. Besides, our Yuanyuan is all grown up now, it's perfectly normal for her to go on dates with the opposite sex."

"If you had been the one to answer that phone call back then, you certainly wouldn't have said that."

When Yuanyuan was four years old, one day Lu Nanting received a call from the kindergarten saying that the child had bitten someone. He hurriedly inquired about what had happened and found out that during lunch, the boy sitting next to Yuanyuan had kissed her on the lips. Yuanyuan felt it was too dirty and disgusting, so she bared her small teeth, grabbed the boy's arm, and bit him hard. The little boy let out a loud cry, and that's when the teacher discovered what had happened.

Things happened so fast, and the children were in the middle class. The teachers no longer ate with the children like they did in the lower class, so they didn't stop it immediately. The teacher was very sincere and said, "Yuanyuan's father, I'm so sorry." Lu Nanting was completely stunned.

That boy's name was Zhou Weizhen.

From then on, Lu Nanting always paid more attention to this little boy, because the boy was in the same class as Yuanyuan from elementary school to junior high school and even into university. At some point, Zhou Weizhen became the person that the quiet and aloof Yuanyuan always talked about.

The two were childhood sweethearts and came from similar family backgrounds. Zhou Weizhen's parents also had a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have kissed in front of their child so often. As a result, he learned it and then went to the kindergarten to do it.

Logically speaking, they are an ideal match for marriage. As long as the two children take a liking to each other, the marriage will naturally fall into place.

but……

Good things always come with difficulties.

It's not that these two don't talk about it; on the contrary, they hit it off when they were young and even confessed their feelings quite readily. However, they've broken up and gotten back together countless times, and they still can't give their parents a reliable answer.

Lu Nanting was exhausted by what he saw and naturally harbored a lot of resentment.

"Alright, alright, why are you so hostile towards her? You know what kind of personality Yuanyuan has."

The two exchanged a few words about the child and then returned to the bedroom.

Gu Lanxi went to brush her teeth and wash her face, while Lu Nanting stood at the door with his arms crossed, watching without saying a word.

His puffed-up face was so funny it made people want to laugh.

Then Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Nanting got even angrier: "What are you laughing at? Why do you think it's funny? Our Yuanyuan is such a good girl, and you don't cherish her after you've won her over. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Gu Lanxi slowly brushed her teeth and then slowly washed her face. Seeing that he was still throwing a tantrum, she suddenly said, "So you think that our Yuanyuan was the one who got dumped?"

"Of course not!"

"What's there to be angry about?"

“Even someone as good as Yuanyuan can’t help but get angry with him and threaten to break up. What does that mean? It means he’s not a good person, you know?”

“I feel like you still don’t have enough work. I’ll call Brother Yuan first thing tomorrow morning.”

"Stop! I only had two days off!! I finally got a break!"

"Okay then, goodnight."

Goodnight. (End of Chapter)
