Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Xu Qin's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Meng Yanchen.

"Why do I have depression? Brother, don't you know the reason?"

For me, the Meng family was like an invisible prison. There, I had no freedom at all, and my mother controlled my life.

"My brother used to be good to me, but now you've become exactly like Mom!"

Meng Yanchen's face instantly darkened, and his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

"Xu Qin, do you know what you're saying?"

Xu Qin suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, and said coldly.

"Of course I know what I'm saying, I'm perfectly clear-headed!"

My biggest mistake was thinking that my brother was still on my side, that you were still the brother who loved me since I was little. But I was so wrong!

I want to escape that home, so I want to study a useful major so I can support myself in the future.

"Mom made me study art history, but I'll still need the Meng family to support me after graduation. You just want to raise me into a useless person, trapping me for life!"

"As for depression..." Xu Qin suddenly sneered twice, her eyes full of mockery.

"Brother, why do I have depression? Why can't I study medicine now? It's all your fault!"

"If you hadn't suggested that Mom take me to see a psychologist, I would never have been diagnosed with depression. You're the one who ruined my life!"

After saying this, Xu Qin angrily picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Xiao Yixiao, who was not far away, saw all of this and quickly rushed over.

Meng Yanchen sighed deeply, looking exhausted.

"Xiao Yixiao, can you do me a favor? Xu Qin and I had a fight. It's nighttime now, and it's not safe for her to go home alone. Can you take her home for me?"

Xiao Yixiao didn't ask any more questions. He simply patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder and turned to chase after Xu Qin in the direction she had left.

When Tang Yu returned from the restroom, she saw Meng Yanchen with his hands clasped together and his brows furrowed, and knew that he was in a bad mood.

"Where did those two go? You don't seem to be in a good mood either."

Meng Yanchen raised his head, then reached out and pulled Tang Yu down to sit next to him.

"Xu Qin just left. I asked Xiao Yixiao to take Xu Qin home."

The tone was quite calm, but having known each other for so long, Tang Yu was very perceptive of Meng Yanchen's emotions.

"So you two had a fight? You two siblings had another falling out."

Tang Yu could tell after finishing dinner.

Xu Qin has a somewhat hesitant personality, and she is not decisive in her speech and actions, always seeming a bit clingy.

He seemed to have a lot to say, but he was unwilling to express it directly, occasionally conveying his emotions with a bitter smile or a sorrowful look.

These kinds of people can be a bit difficult to get along with because you have to guess what they're thinking.

"You always seem to read my mind. We did have a fight, and looking back now, it all seems a bit absurd..."

After saying this, Meng Yanchen took Tang Yu's hand and placed it in front of him, then slowly recalled the scene just now and recounted the content of their conversation.

“Xu Qin is our family’s adopted daughter. She doesn’t like her mother’s strict control and wants to leave this family. I understand her.”

I just don't understand why she insists on studying medicine. Doesn't she know her own condition?

Tang Yu lowered her head and gave a mocking laugh, then directly asked Meng Yanchen.

"Didn't you finish what you were saying? Is Xu Qin upset that you made her see a psychologist back then, and that she feels she can't study medicine? Is it all your fault?"

Meng Yanchen looked at Tang Yu with a face full of surprise: "How did you know she said such a thing?"

Tang Yu chuckled softly; she actually had a very accurate eye for people.

"Yan Chen, Xu Qin is different from you. You want to be in charge of your own life."

So you've always been fighting alone, unwilling to rely on the Meng family's resources, wanting to make a name for yourself through your own abilities, even if you end up with nothing.

Xu Qin, however, hated being bound by the Meng family, yet she couldn't bear to completely break away from them.

Studying art history will make it easy for me to find a comfortable and respectable job later on, thanks to the Meng family's connections.

However, Xu Qin knew that this kind of life depended entirely on the Meng family's money. Once she chose this kind of life, she would have to rely on the Meng family forever and would never be able to control her own life.

In her view, studying medicine would give her the confidence to be independent, and even if she left the Meng family, she could make a living with her medical skills.

Meng Yanchen was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "So, this means you want both?"

"Yes, she wants to have her cake and eat it too."

Tang Yu nodded and continued speaking.

"But actually, anyone who studies art history or any other major can make a name for themselves if they have the determination. Does that mean that everyone who doesn't study medicine will end up not being able to find a job?"

Xu Qin simply lacked the courage to completely break through the Meng family's castle—a castle that had both given her wealth and bound her.

In my world, Xu Qin should never dream of studying medicine and becoming a doctor.

Chapter 22 Meng Yanchen 22

After Meng Yanchen returned to China, Tang Yu stayed in the United States to take her skydiving exam.

She learns very quickly, but it takes some time to meet the time and assessment requirements.

In her spare time, Tang Yu participated in many brand activities.

She has signed with a lot of brands, attends many events, and sometimes shoots magazine covers and advertisements.

So after staying in the United States for more than half a month, Tang Yu returned to China and began her busy life.

There are far more media events in China than abroad.

After all, she is Chinese, so most of the brands she endorses are actually domestic brands.

Since you've signed a spokesperson contract, you have to cooperate with the brand's promotional activities by giving interviews, participating in events, and appearing on TV shows.

Aside from the daily training time, he spends almost all his other time under the media spotlight.

So after being so busy for more than a month, winter has already arrived.

Tang Yu finally had some free time and began to ask her friends to record the song.

Tang Yu's friend was named Yang Jiu.

The two learned to play the piano together when they were young, and later went to the same primary and junior high schools. They lived in the same neighborhood and were both from wealthy families.

It wasn't until Tang Yu was admitted to a prestigious high school that their lives began to diverge further and further.

Yang Jiu pursued an arts education, attending a music academy, while Tang Yu went to university in a proper, conventional way.

Over the past few years, Tang Yu has shone brightly in the sports world.

Yang Jiu went into the entertainment industry and became a famous original singer. She has now opened a studio and independently produces music.

So Tang Yu asked this friend to let her use his recording studio to record songs.

"Why don't you become a singer after you retire? Your songwriting talent is only slightly less than mine. I can make you famous."

Tang Yu gave the other person a disdainful look. The two of them went out to eat together after recording today.

"You're just a singer who's not that famous in the entertainment industry, don't try to piggyback on my fame as a tennis superstar, okay?"

These words immediately made Yang Jiu burst out laughing.

"Yes, yes, our tennis superstar is so amazing now, you're the most famous person in the world!"

So why did you go to a top high school back then? In the end, you still became a sports student.

You have no idea how free and easy I was during my high school years, while you were confined to one school for three years. I feel sorry for you!

Tang Yu scoffed.

"Would you follow your wild and unrestrained ways and mess around in school? Now that you're in the entertainment industry, with a bunch of female fans watching you, it's not even convenient for you to date anymore."

I feel sorry for you, sister. These days you can't even be open about dating!

The two teased each other, recounting all the embarrassing stories from their childhoods.

However, to outsiders, it appeared to be a scene of laughter and conversation, which was even captured by paparazzi.

After finishing his meal and work, Meng Yanchen drove over to pick up Tang Yu.

"Is your boyfriend reliable? So many people were pursuing you back then, but you didn't agree to any of them. I really don't understand why you chose him."

Tang Yu gave the other person a disdainful look.

"Why should I, a junior high school student, be in a relationship?"

You don't think I rejected them because I looked down on them, do you? It's because of puppy love!

Yang Jiu burst out laughing as soon as Meng Yanchen got out of the car.

After introducing themselves, Yang Jiu patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder and laughed.

"Brother, you're so lucky! You met the right person at the right time, cherish it."

"Our Yu Yu is many people's dream girl. If you dare to mess around, a bunch of men will rush forward to take your place."

Meng Yanchen looked at the other person carefully, then took Tang Yu's hand and smiled.

"Don't worry, those people won't even have the chance to covet it."

Seeing the slightly tense atmosphere between the two, Tang Yu smiled and spoke.

"What are you doing? Filming an idol drama? Hurry up and go home, don't you want to sleep so late?"

Only after these words were spoken did the two parties bid each other farewell.

After Tang Yu got into the car, Meng Yanchen drove for a few minutes before he couldn't help but speak up.

"I think he likes you a little?"

"Who?" Tang Yu turned her head and asked.

"It's Yang Jiu, I'm a little unhappy, you have to comfort me."
