Chapter 9 In the Name of Mom

Fang Xin always goes to the theater very early. It takes a long time to put on makeup and styling. Just the wig has to be fixed for a while, as well as the costumes.

It has been a while since Fang Xin joined the crew. Since she is poor, she has never ordered any food or supplies for the crew.

I feel guilty towards the makeup artists who took extra care of him, as well as the staff on the set.

He looked at his little treasury and was almost crying because there was so little money left.

But I still plan to buy some food and drinks for the crew as a reward.

After finishing a few scenes, he asked Xiao Huai to use his card to buy coffee and have it delivered to the crew.

As soon as Xiao Huai took the card, Lu Ziyan came into the dressing room with a cup of coffee and a box of snacks.

He pointed outside. "Your mother has sent the food truck."

What mother? Didn't he lose both his parents? Where did this mother come from?

Outside the dressing room everyone was having expensive snacks and coffee.

One bite and it seemed like all the suffering I had endured today was worth it.

Fang Xin walked over to the dining car to take a look, and several people who were familiar with him thanked him.

The costume manager of the crew spoke straightforwardly and explained the situation immediately, "Your mother is really nice. She still cares about you so much on the crew. Your family is so well-off, but you still come to endure the hardship of filming."

Fang Xin, who was in a fog, saw someone walking towards her, and the fog finally cleared up.

"The child is ambitious and we all support him."

An Mei was dressed in gorgeous clothes. The wind blew her skirt in the air. The silk set off her fair and tender skin, and the traces of time were also faded.

She walked over to Fang Xin, took his hand, and frowned with heartache.

"How come you've become so thin after just a few days of not seeing you? Have you been eating on time?"

The concern in her eyes could not be faked. When the people around saw the real owner coming, they dispersed and made room for the "mother and son".

A few sharp-eyed people recognized An Mei and whispered to her friends.

Everyone had a different expression during the discussion.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

In order to comfort An Mei, Fang Xin gently held her hand and ignored the topic of her own weight loss.

After hearing this, An Mei looked at him in a reproachful manner, "It's because you didn't come to see me this week, and I was worried that you wouldn't eat well on the set. Filming is stressful, and if you get scolded, you'll be in a bad mood and won't be able to get anything done."

"Hey... at least give me a call and let me know your situation, so I won't have to worry so much."

An Mei lowered her eyes and suppressed her emotions.

Fang Xin was deeply moved. Even his mother didn't care about him as much as An Mei did. This was the first time someone cared about him openly and took care of so many things for him.

Just to make his life easier on the set.

His nose was slightly sore and his eyes were wet, but he tried to hold it in. "I will call you every day after filming to let you know what I did today, okay?"

An Mei then laughed out loud, "Of course, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I won't refuse you."

"Yeah, thank you, auntie!"

The news that she brought food to reward the crew in the name of mother spread like wildfire.

The most savvy ones are the major media.

They knew An Mei's identity and also knew about Fang Xin and Xu Shi'an's scandal.

They immediately had a headline news article. If Mr. Xu's mother did not come forward, it would mean that Fang Xin was in a one-sided relationship.

If they come forward, it is very likely that they are already together!

This is such a big topic, they are almost waiting to count the money.

An Mei spent the entire afternoon watching Fang Xin perform on the set, giving the director numerous instructions.

Director Lin knew at first sight that this was the wife of the chairman of the Xu Group, and he was very kind to her.

No one discussed the matter of sending food trucks in the name of Fang Xin's mother. After all, this is the investor, so it's better not to talk about the boss casually.

Fang Xin filmed a few scenes in the afternoon that required him to follow Prince Wang. He had very few lines, but An Mei said it was a good idea after watching it.

He also knew that An Mei was encouraging him, but his liking for An Mei skyrocketed.

An-Mei returned home and saw her son sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses and reading documents. She walked over and sat down.

"Why do you want me to deliver the dining car today?"

Xu Shi'an's eyes never left the document, but he was thinking about how to answer in his mind.

There was silence for a while, and he finally said something he had carefully considered because he felt uncomfortable with An Mei's stare.

"The media is good at making up stories, and it would be more complicated if it was sent in my name." After a pause, "Besides, it was you who asked me to take care of him."

An Mei frowned, "After all, you have known each other for so long, it's okay for you to care about your younger brother as a brother!"

"As for the media's nonsense, we just need to tell them to delete any comments that are harmful to Xinxin!"

Xu Shi'an took off his silver-framed glasses with one hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other hand.

"Mom, if you want to see him more often, just show more concern on your behalf, and he will come back to see you more without you having to tell him."

An-Mei pondered, then patted her son on the shoulder, "I want him to come back more often, but I also don't want him to come back and cause awkwardness between you two."

"Mom just wants you two to get along well. Even if you are not destined to be together, you will still see each other often in the future."

She touched the corner of her eye and said, "His mother and I once agreed that if we each had a son or daughter, we would definitely become in-laws."

"But who knew that both were sons? But his scumbag father ran away with all his savings on the day she was born, and the debt collector couldn't find anyone so he went to bother the mother and son."

"If I hadn't visited her from time to time, I wouldn't have known what a hard life she was going through..."

Thinking of the sister who had been so kind to her, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "But she had a miserable life. She managed to support her child to go to high school, but she died just like that because of overwork."

"Just think of yourself as someone who has sympathy for you and love you more. This will be like helping a good friend who once helped your mother."

The sound of Anmei sobbing could be heard in the room, and Xu Shian was silent for a long time.

He stood up, his eyes showing an unclear emotion, which he quickly hid, "I know, Mom."
