178: Why are you acting like a mother-in-law?
Xu Yao was very surprised.
"We did meet once in Finland. I didn't expect you to remember."
At that time, Jason was painting at the port and seemed to be very absorbed in it. Xu Yao and Gu Jun just watched quietly without saying a word. They didn't expect Jason to have such a good memory that he could remember Xu Yao with just a glance.
——Did he also remember Gu Jun?
——Gu Jun knows that he has a younger brother, but does Jason know about Gu Jun’s existence?
These two questions stuck in Xu Yao's mind, making her very uncomfortable.
Jason didn't mention his brief encounter with Finland anymore. He asked Xu Yao, "Did you send the flowers to the hotel?"
Xu Yao nodded.
A slight smile crossed Jason's lips, really just a little, the kind that would be easily missed if you blinked.
"Thank you, the flowers are beautiful."
Xu Yao wanted to continue the conversation with Jason when a figure came rushing over.
"Jason!"
Fu Hong's voice was a little sharp. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Why didn't you answer my call?"
When Fu Hong saw Xu Yao's appearance clearly, her expression changed. She pulled Jason away without saying anything and said, "I'll take you to meet the regional director of the brand. He likes your paintings very much and wants to talk to you."
Jason wasn't happy.
He obviously wanted to chat with Xu Yao more than any brand's regional director.
But he was used to obeying Fu Hong's orders. After looking at Xu Yao twice, he still followed Fu Hong.
Li Lanyi came over and patted Xu Yao on the shoulder: "How was your conversation with your favorite painter?"
Xu Yao spoke frankly, "We were only chatting for a few sentences when Ms. Fu interrupted us. She didn't seem to like me very much. It was strange. I don't remember how I ever offended her."
Li Lanyi, however, was confident. "Why wouldn't you understand this? You're young and beautiful, but you're already a danger in Ms. Fu's eyes. She's afraid you'll seduce her talented son! Women of Ms. Fu's age are often polarized. Either they're well-mannered and warmhearted, or they have endocrine disorders and are full of malicious suspicions about young women. I think Ms. Fu fits the latter category."
Xu Yao was surprised by Li Lanyi's analysis, and then looked at her with sympathy: "It sounds like you often encounter this kind of situation?"
Li Lanyi nodded. "I'm also an internet celebrity. In the eyes of those wealthy wives, I'm either trying to seduce their husbands or their sons."
"That's because you're so beautiful!"
Xu Yao asked Li Lanyi, "I saw online that you signed a new film. When will you join the set?"
"next month."
Li Lanyi raised an eyebrow. "Are you interested in making a cameo appearance?"
Xu Yao waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't do this. I can't eat this bowl of rice."
Li Lanyi was about to say something when a teasing female voice came from behind her: "You two are quite close. Oh, I almost forgot, you are both internet celebrities."
The person who spoke was Jiang Mingjia.
Jiang Mingjia is a VIC client invited by the brand to participate in the event.
Xu Yao and Li Lanyi looked at each other and confirmed with their eyes that they both hated Jiang Mingjia.
But Jiang Mingjia still relied on her status as a VIC client to take photos with Xu Yao and Li Lanyi.
Jiang Mingjia said to Li Lanyi that she was not living up to her expectations.
Although they are both Jiang Zhiyan’s “girlfriend”, Tangtang can get pregnant, but Li Lanyi is not as smart as Tangtang, which makes Li Lanyi so angry that she wants to hit her.
Endure, endure, endure!
Li Lanyi forced a smile. "Miss Jiang is really free. Not only is she busy with her own company's affairs, but she also keeps an eye on Mr. Jiang's personal life. If it weren't for the age discrepancy, I would have thought Miss Jiang was Mr. Jiang's mother!"
She's just a cousin, but she's always meddling in who Jiang Zhiyan is dating and who gets pregnant. She's really meddling in other people's business!
Jiang Mingjia's face changed.
Xu Yao was so uncomfortable holding back her laughter that she laughed out loud in front of Jiang Mingjia.
Jiang Mingjia glared at her fiercely, "You're so sharp-tongued, is that funny?"
Xu Yao nodded honestly, "The one who teases first is the cheap one. Miss Jiang knows what I'm laughing at."
"you--"
Jiang Mingjia wanted to mock Xu Yao, but suddenly laughed as if something had occurred to her: "Do you think Gu Jun really loves you?"
This question is very puzzling.
Why are you suddenly mentioning Gu Jun?
Looking at the undisguised hatred in Jiang Mingjia's expression, Xu Yao suddenly realized: Could it be that Jiang Mingjia likes Gu Jun?
No wonder!
Xu Yao found it very strange. Last year, her account didn’t have so many followers, but Jiang Mingjia came to her and wanted to sign her.
Xu Yao had thought Jiang Mingjia had foresight, but now she realized that Jiang Mingjia might not have been targeting her all along. Xiang Zhuang danced with a sword, aiming for Pei Gong. Jiang Mingjia must have known that she and Gu Jun were together!
Xu Yao gritted her teeth secretly. Gu Jun knew that Jiang Mingjia had such thoughts, but he didn't even mention it. She would teach Gu Jun a lesson after returning home!
But now, Xu Yao would not admit defeat in front of Jiang Mingjia: "Love or not is our own business as a couple. What does it have to do with Miss Jiang? Miss Jiang, haven't you been acting too much like a mother-in-law in front of Mr. Jiang's girlfriend? Now you have your hands on Gu Jun. Do you think you have the right to intervene?"
Xu Yao guessed Jiang Mingjia's feelings for Gu Jun, and she wanted to distort Jiang Mingjia's thoughts just to make her angry.
Coincidentally, Xu Yao's real mother-in-law Fu Hong was present at the scene. Xu Yao didn't even want to acknowledge Fu Hong. Jiang Mingjia, who had nothing to do with her, actually came to Xu Yao and acted like a mother-in-law. It was ridiculous!
Jiang Mingjia was so angry that she blurted out, "Without our Jiang family, do you think Gu Jun would be where he is today?"
Xu Yao immediately retorted, "Without the Jiang family, there would still be the Wang family and the Li family. A capable person will always have someone who appreciates him. Gu Jun's job was given to him by President Jiang, but he also created corresponding value for the company! Besides, President Jiang is President Jiang, and the Jiang family is the Jiang family. No one signs a feudal indenture these days, and Gu Jun didn't sell himself to you, the Jiang family."
Jiang Zhiyan doesn’t care about Gu Jun’s private life, so who do you think you are, Jiang Mingjia?
If Gu Jun wanted to be a son-in-law of the Jiang family, he didn't have to wait for Xu Yao to appear. Since Gu Jun and Xu Yao were married, it proved that Gu Jun had never thought about marrying into the Jiang family and struggling for thirty years.
Xu Yao hated Jiang Mingjia very much, not because Jiang Mingjia had such feelings for Gu Jun, but because Jiang Mingjia's self-righteous attitude was very disgusting.
Being born into a good family is a matter of luck, not ability.
If Jiang Mingjia hadn't been nosy and gone to Tangtang to say some nonsense, Tangtang wouldn't have signed with Shengshi so quickly!
Xu Yao was too lazy to argue with such a person, so she pulled Li Lanyi and turned to leave.
Li Lanyi was quite surprised. "You look so gentle, but I didn't expect you to be so rude."
Xu Yao denied it, "How did I curse you? Wasn't I telling the truth?"
Li Lanyi applauded Xu Yao and reminded her, "Jiang Mingjia is notoriously stingy. If you offend her, you will definitely be complained about."
Xu Yao didn't care: "At worst, I won't participate in this kind of offline activities."
The remuneration for such big brand events is actually not high. Internet celebrities rush to participate not just for the remuneration, but more because they want to meet some people at the events and improve their own style.
Xu Yao doesn’t care about these things at all now. She has just tasted the sweetness of being down-to-earth and doesn’t want to raise her own standards at all.
Even in the recently uploaded video, Xu Yao has returned to her original style to recommend affordable and good things!
