Jiang Baiyan spoke with great confidence, as if Fu Yu would automatically decide to cast him as a member of the crew as soon as he spoke.

They really think they're something special.

Fu Yu nodded politely to Jiang Baiyan, then turned to answer the phone handed to her by her assistant.

Her previous musicals were well-received abroad, and with the help of Catherine and Lu Xiao's connections, Broadway bought the rights.

After hearing about the theme of Fu Yu's musical production, they immediately requested a collaboration to jointly develop a series of IPs.

Seeing that Fu Yu didn't care about him at all, Jiang Baiyan looked a little embarrassed and tried to save face, saying, "Fu Yu is busy right now, she'll come to find me in a little while."

Jiang Baiyan took out his phone, entered the password, and entered the second system interface.

It also contains Fu Yu's contact information.

Fortunately, he allowed Xu Tangtang to completely delete his phone number at the time, otherwise how could he have gotten on Fu Yu's good side?

The entertainment industry is all about the cyclical nature of fortunes; you never know when an insignificant nobody might suddenly become a famous big shot.

In the future, he will stand at the top, looking down on everything.

He will definitely be even more arrogant than Fu Yu when the time comes.

Directors and investors who once looked down on him would not even glance at him, even if they knelt on the ground and begged him.

With some time still before the audition, the agent asked Jiang Baiyan and Sun Qiao to do a live stream together.

To generate some traffic and, incidentally, let the production team see the appeal and influence of this couple.

The two were already very familiar with this, and were just about to use their familiar lines to sweeten things up when they saw a user with a blank profile picture constantly refreshing the screen.

"Ayan, go home, I miss you so much."

"Don't ignore me!"

"You're ignoring me because of this little bitch, aren't you? What do you want? Will you only look at me when I'm dead?"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have lost my temper."

"I'm waiting for you at home."

The CP fans were intimidated by this momentum and questioned Jiang Baiyan's identity as an anonymous user, asking if he was really his sister-in-law.

"Baiyan is currently single. This person is Baiyan's illegitimate child and has been fantasizing about dating Baiyan."

While explaining, the agent gestured to the live stream assistant to block all negative information.

Sun Qiao glanced at Jiang Baiyan and secretly squeezed his hand. "Baiyan, is she really just your dream girl?"

Jiang Baiyan snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, "I'm sorry, it was all my negligence that caused the fans and Qiao Qiao to have a bad experience."

After saying that, he looked at Sun Qiao with deep affection and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Qiao Qiao, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Xu Tangtang bit her nails as she watched herself being forcibly kicked out of the live stream and her private messages being bombarded with insults from CP fans, which made her increasingly angry.

She raised her hand to throw her phone, but then remembered that her father had cut off her SIM card.

Jiang Baiyan bought this phone for her.

If it breaks again...

Xu Tangtang gripped her phone tightly.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong.

In his previous life, Jiang Baiyan should have already started cultivating his CP fans, taking on various art films to gain exposure, and being chosen by a famous American director to become the male lead in his new film, thereby winning the title of Best Actor.

What exactly went wrong?

While I was thinking, my phone rang.

It was Jiang Baiyan calling.

Xu Tangtang excitedly pressed the answer button, but what came into her ears was not her lover's sweet words, but a cold rebuke.

"Xu Tangtang, I've put up with you for so long. Do you have to destroy me before you're satisfied?"

“I told you when we started dating that I’m an actress and it’s unavoidable for me to have close contact with the opposite sex.”

"If you can't accept it, we can part ways amicably."

"Now, you're the one who's shamelessly insisting on being with me, and you're the one who's living in my house regardless of everything. Xu Tangtang, get this straight, I'm already at a huge disadvantage by continuing to be with you!"

After venting his anger, Jiang Baiyan hung up the phone.

Xu Tangtang stood there, stunned.

Was this Jiang Baiyan who booked plane tickets and hotels for her to visit Wuzhen just because she casually mentioned liking it?

Is it Jiang Baiyan who would video chat with her and coax her to sleep even when he was busy or tired?

Was it Jiang Baiyan, who, with tears in his eyes, begged her not to leave him after hearing that she was going to marry another man?

Xu Tangtang got up groggily.

When did Jiang Baiyan become so cold and distant?

It's like a completely different person.

No, Jiangbaiyan is still Jiangbaiyan.

Xu Tangtang was so immersed in what she thought was happiness that she didn't notice something was wrong with the man beside her.

After cancelling the concert, Xu Tangtang went to the hospital for a check-up.

She discovered she had no money in her card, so she called Jiang Baiyan to pay the bill for her.

Upon hearing that Xu's father had suspended Xu Tangtang's credit card, a cold glint appeared in Jiang Baiyan's eyes.

He helped her pay the bill and also gave her his bank card.

But he quietly set a limit, and every time he spent money, he would send the transaction records to Jiang Baiyan, who would then compile them into a book and give it to his lawyer for safekeeping.

Jiang Baiyan subtly inquired about Xu Tangtang's father's attitude towards him. He learned that even if Xu Tangtang was not recognized as his daughter, he would never allow Jiang Baiyan to enter the Xu family.

The coldness in his eyes deepened.

The reason Jiang Baiyan completely abandoned his pretense and began to emotionally abuse Xu Tangtang was because she discovered his secret.

After attending the drinking party, he and the hostess in the car were reluctant to part.

Xu Tangtang confronted the adulterer with great force, pulling away the hostess with the air of an empress.

During the scuffle, the glove compartment in the car was accidentally opened.

More than forty ring boxes fell out, and the rings inside were exactly the same.

The wedding ring she wore was the same style as the one Xu Tangtang wore.

The hostess dangled the ring on her finger. "You don't know, do you? Whenever a woman helps Jiang Baiyan, he'll pull out a ring he bought wholesale from the market and propose to her with deep affection."

"Come to think of it, I was proposed to before you were. You're the homewrecker!"

After tearing off his mask, Jiang Baiyan no longer pretends.

Xu Tangtang, like dozens of other wealthy women, was his cash cow.

He showed more concern for Xu Tangtang, entirely because of her family background.

A male model who started out as a gigolo desperately wants to clear his name and use Xu Tangtang's reputation as a rich and beautiful woman to become a superior person!

Since he couldn't become the Xu family's son-in-law, Xu Tangtang, who had neither money nor power, was of no value to him.

In his previous life, he chose Fu Yu because she was capable, resourceful, shrewd, and could help him secure resources and pave his way to becoming a movie star. That's why Jiang Baiyan made an exception and acknowledged her identity.

Xu Tangtang was unaware of the reason behind this. She refused to give up on Jiang Baiyan and fantasized that after Jiang Baiyan became a movie star, he would have a change of heart, remember her kindness, and marry her.

She insisted on staying at Jiang Baiyan's house, even willing to go makeup-free, do his laundry and cook for him, be his personal assistant, and endure his intimate relationships with other women.

She thought that Fu Yu kept Jiang Baiyan by relying on these small details.

Little did she know that by degrading herself step by step, she was only leading herself into an abyss.
