Chapter 43 The so-called secret love comes true

At half past six, Xiao Chen called Song Shengsheng and asked her to help remind Jiang Yiyu to get up quickly and pack his things, and she would come upstairs to deliver breakfast at seven o'clock.

Jiang Yiyu watched Song Shengsheng hang up the phone, smiled and sighed softly: "Xiao Chen has completely changed sides. As soon as you came, she went straight to you for everything."

Song Shengsheng put down the phone and squeezed his hand: "Because she knows you like me, so you are very good and obedient in front of me."

Jiang Yiyu sneered without comment.

"Let's go wash up." Song Shengsheng tried hard to pull him up, but Jiang Yiyu was like teasing a child. Every time Song Shengsheng thought she was going to succeed, he would lie down again and smile at her lazily and roguely.

After repeating this several times, Song Shengsheng reluctantly let go of his hand: "You just bully me on purpose, I don't care about you anymore." After that, she got out of bed, put on her slippers and went to the bathroom.

Jiang Yiyu looked at her back, raised his arms to cover his eyes, smiled foolishly for a while, then hurriedly got up to find her.

When Song Shengsheng saw him come in, she moved aside and mumbled while brushing her teeth, "I've squeezed the toothpaste for you."

Jiang Yiyu picked up the toothbrush on the mouthwash cup and smiled: "Thank you, dear."

He looked at himself and Song Shengsheng standing side by side in the mirror brushing their teeth, and suddenly felt very happy. But besides being happy, he couldn't help feeling sad and reluctant when he thought that he would be separated from her soon.

After washing up and changing clothes, Xiao Chen came knocking on the door.

As soon as Song Shengsheng opened the door, she saw Xiao Chen holding the soy milk, fried dough sticks and tea eggs she bought for her in one hand, and the healthy and bland breakfast for Jiang Yiyu in the other.

She put breakfast on the coffee table in the living room and asked Song Shengsheng, "Sister-in-law, you really don't want to go to South City with us?"

Song Shengsheng inserted the straw into the plastic cup of soy milk and said, "I have to go back to class. I can't go to South City with you this time. I have to ask you to take good care of Brother Yi Yu."

Xiao Chen sighed in disappointment: "Sister-in-law, it would be great if you could go with us."

Song Shengsheng drank some soy milk and teased her with a smile: "Can't bear to leave me?"

"Yeah." Xiao Chen lowered his voice and moved closer to Song Shengsheng, whispering, "With you here, no matter what happens, I'm in a very good mood. I'm also very cooperative with my work, and we don't have to worry too much."

"Has he not cooperated with work before?"

"He cooperates, but he's just lazy and can't stand trouble. He might not show it on the surface when he's annoyed, but the next time you ask him to cooperate, he'll just say no, no matter what. One time, a new person joined the team, and I hired her because she had relevant work experience listed on her resume and had worked in other artist teams."

"Then what?"

Xiao Chen tore off a piece of fried dough stick and put it in his mouth. "Then, on her first day, Sister Wen Jing, my brother's agent, asked me to give the new employee a simple training. But she was so arrogant that she said she could start working directly without any training."

"The first day was fine because we had nothing to do. But on the second day, my brother had to shoot some material for a new drama, which required coordination between various parties. To showcase her abilities, she took the initiative to take on the important work that I usually do. Wen Jing also wanted to see what she could do, so she agreed. However, something went wrong with the coordination, and everything my brother shot all morning was unusable."

"Jiang Yiyu must be very angry, right?"

"Who said it wasn't? His face went black at the time, but I'm not the type to act like a big shot and lose my temper with the staff. He just asked the person why she made the mistake, and then the most infuriating part came!" Xiao Chen cleared his throat: "The person argued that she was not at fault and even put the blame on others."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"That's it. We shot all morning but couldn't use anything. We had other schedules in the afternoon, and the production team was pressing us hard. In the end, Sister Wen Jing personally went to negotiate and got some extra time. I was able to cooperate with the filming again the next morning."

"Later, there were several other jobs where that person was responsible for getting me to cooperate, and I didn't even have time to pay attention to her."

"Later, she couldn't continue working in our team anymore and resigned. After leaving, she spread rumors and leaked false information to paparazzi, which caused a lot of trouble."

"Isn't that the time when Jiang Yiyu's last costume drama was airing, where they accused him of being a big shot and having questionable personal behavior, and they kept digging up stories from his high school days?"

Xiao Chen slapped his thigh, "Yeah! It's that incident. It pissed me off. I don't know how many times that shitty incident from high school has been brought up and ripped off. He's been in the industry for eight years, and they've dug up everything they can and can't. They've photoshopped some ugly pictures, recruited some online influencers, and exaggerated the story. They even said my most undeniable features, like my looks and height, were fake. They think we're the only ones who can't think of it, and there's nothing they can't do."

Song Shengsheng turned around and looked in the direction of the bedroom: "It's really not easy."

"But things are getting better now. In this industry, as long as you're famous, everyone you meet is openly nice. My brother's momentum has been too fast in recent years, and as the moon waxes and wanes, my brother and Sister Wenjing want to take a break after filming this drama, let the limelight die down, and reduce his traffic. Otherwise, if he's too popular, there will always be people who will be jealous of him."

"Is this also the reason why no one in your team objects to him marrying me at this peak of his powers?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Indeed, although he lost some followers, his traffic has indeed been reduced. Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. It also establishes his image as a loving man who married young. As long as you two are well and he doesn't do anything out of line, his position will only become stronger and stronger."
