He didn't hear Wen Yan's approaching footsteps, but he could hear his inner thoughts at that moment.
Shen Jingxiu stopped typing rapidly, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
He subconsciously swiped away the image.
But he didn't want to show that he already knew she was behind him, so he foolishly clicked back into the comments section.
However, when I went back to the comments section, I no longer had the mood to argue with the haters.
Wen Yan was also caught in a dilemma due to her temporary loss of control over her tears.
What should I do now? Will it be too late to call him after I wipe away my tears? Will he notice my outburst?
Fortunately, a voice suddenly called out "Wen Yan," breaking the awkward silence.
Shen Jingchuan strode over and grabbed Wen Yan's shoulder without any hesitation.
"We're here today..." Shen Jingchuan stopped mid-sentence, stunned. "Why are you crying? What's wrong? Did your brother do something to you?"
"No."
Shen Jingxiu stood up the moment he ran over.
He was also looking at Wen Yan, but he didn't say anything to express his concern first.
When Wen Yan saw that the other family members had also arrived, she thought about it and decided to use the old excuse again.
"My movie flopped, it's so upsetting. None of my previous movies or TV series have fared as badly as this. I'm not that bad, am I?"
Shen Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jingxiu's brows relaxed slightly.
Shen Jingchuan pressed Wen Yan down into a chair and said, "I thought it was some great master, but it's just a movie. I think it's very good. So what if the box office is bad? Look at those award-winning art films, their box office is even worse than yours."
Other family members, hearing the commotion, came over to offer their comfort.
After all, Wen Yan's poor box office performance made headlines.
The movie was filmed more than a year ago, so the poor results were actually within Wen Yan's expectations. She wasn't too upset, but she managed to gloss over her earlier crying.
It's because she's been unable to hold back her tears lately.
She soon joined everyone in happily grilling the meat.
Seeing her whole family gathered together, she wanted to do one last thing.
Halfway through her barbecue, she stood up and solemnly tapped her glass.
"Everyone, I have something to say, and I hope you will do me the honor of listening to my rambling."
Su Yang led the applause: "Speak up, what is it? It must be something good, right?"
"Well... how should I put it, I think it's a good thing."
Shen Jingchuan stared at her with a smile: "Then stop keeping me in suspense."
Shen Jingxiu waited quietly for her to continue.
"It's not that the movie flopped, but my new variety show is about to go online! Netizens are very worried about me now, or rather, they are boycotting me, and they are calling on all kinds of entertainers not to accept my invitations. This is putting me in a difficult position."
Shen Jinghe, Qin Yulong, and Shen Jingcheng all looked at Wen Yan at the same time.
The matter of inviting guests has never been discussed in meetings before. Why would Wen Yan bring it up at a family dinner today?
