Chapter 523 Hand over your daughter
Last year at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Meng Bai agreed to Zhao Jinmai's wish for her coming of age ceremony and be her "boyfriend" for a year.
His initial idea was to first agree to the little girl's wishes, and as time went on and the number of contacts increased, her obsession would probably fade slowly.
This reason also convinced Zhao's mother, and she agreed to pretend not to know, which was considered to be fulfilling her daughter's wish.
However, both of them forgot one thing, Zhao Jinmai's feelings for Meng Bai were not a whim, but had been buried in her heart since she was a little girl many years ago, and after years of sprouting and growing until it became a towering tree.
As we all know, when a tree grows up, its roots are connected to the land.
Especially after a year of careful cultivation with "good weather and good harvests", the two are even more intertwined. Now it is impossible to uproot it without any damage.
"I know that you, Meng Bai, have been playing this with me as if it were just a game for the past year, but I still want to tell you that I am serious and I really like you."
Meng Bai sighed and said across the screen: "But, Mai Mai, you don't like a good boyfriend, you like a scumbag."
"I know." Zhao Jinmai blinked her bright eyes and said lightly: "But it doesn't matter. I won't compete with Sister Qinqin and Sister Tongtong. I just need a little corner from you, Meng Bai."
"Little girl, your three views are a little distorted now..."
"Yes, they are distorted, and it is because of you that you are distorted, so you are more responsible! And..."
Zhao Jinmai suddenly showed a bright smile on his face: "Brother Meng Bai, are you really willing to let me find another boyfriend?"
BINGO! A killer!
Meng Bai opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word "yes" after all.
His feelings for Mai Mai are very complicated, with three parts of "brother-sister love", three parts of "possessiveness" and three parts of "love between men and women".
Although he kept saying "I'm just playing house with a little girl", ask yourself, how can you not be moved by a pretty little girl who chases you and calls you "boyfriend" every day?
What's more, he is not a good person.
The reason why he always insists on this statement is mainly for "Mr. Meng's face".
It's like why Wu Fan, who has a lot of traffic, can do "fan selection", but Meng Bai, a top boss who can control the entire industry, just simply hopes that one day he can put Teacher Li and Boss Li together.
To put it bluntly, just like those people who are covered in silk and satin but still boast of their simple life, he is more greedy than before - he wants people and reputation.
It can only be said that capitalists are like this.
After thinking about it carefully, Meng Bai felt that his behavior was a bit deceiving.
Just go online and find some netizens who care about entertainment gossip to ask, his reputation as a "scumbag" is only slightly inferior to classic cases like Chen Sicheng, where is the good reputation.
So, what's the point of finding some self-righteous excuses for yourself every day?
"Hehe..."
"Brother Meng Bai, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just feel that the atmosphere is so tense that I should laugh a little, don't mind it."
"Oh..."
Zhao Jinmai didn't understand what this meant, but she still responded obediently and brought the topic back: "So, can you help me realize my wish to renew the contract for one year?"
"If I say no, what will you do?"
"Then I will go to you after class every day and persuade you until you agree."
"That's good, you still know to finish class before coming, then you can go for a few days to persuade."
"Ah?" The little girl was dumbfounded.
Meng Bai looked at the dull little face on the screen and laughed: "I'm just teasing you, I promise you."
"Really? It's a deal, I have recorded it on the screen, you are not allowed to regret it! Hehehe..."
Zhao Jinmai showed a smile that was hard to hide on her delicate face.
"Don't just laugh, I have a request too."
"You tell me, I promise you!"
"Don't think about the show anymore, go to class and practice your acting skills. When you finish your sophomore year and can take on acting jobs, your boyfriend will naturally arrange suitable scripts and resources for you."
"Don't worry, I promise!" Zhao Jinmai said happily: "Thank you, boyfriend!"
After chatting for a few more sentences, she resisted the urge to continue talking for fear of disturbing Meng Bai's work, and hung up the video call reluctantly.
Holding the phone to her chest, she recalled what happened just now, and felt an indescribable excitement surging in her body. She
suddenly grabbed the quilt to cover her head, and her two little feet fluttered to express her joy.
At the same time, on the other side.
Watching the video hang up, Meng Bai laughed, and then sighed with a headache.
It's easy to agree to the little girl's wish, but the problem is how to tell Zhao's mother?
When she looked back, she found that her daughter was still "ambiguously entangled" with Meng Bai. Should she tell her "Mr. Meng has taken a fancy to your daughter, name a price?"
Don't say it, for parents who want to use their children as cash cows, this straightforward statement is really suitable.
But Meng Bai knows Zhao's mother very much. She still feels sorry for her daughter. Although it can't be said that she has no idea of "mothers are honored by their daughters", she will definitely not agree to such a straightforward statement.
Or you can use your power to pressure others-"If you don't hand over your daughter, then she will not be able to mix in this circle in the future."
Well, it seems to be quite nonsense. It's not a small market controlled by chaebols like Kimchi. With the size of domestic entertainment, unless the official takes action, there is no company that can cover the sky with one hand.
As for the excuse of "I really like Mai Mai", it has no extra value except to disgust each other.
After thinking about it for a long time, there is really no good excuse. Meng Bai decided not to think about it and leave it to fate.
He took a deep breath after finding Zhao's mother's phone number, but he still dialed without hesitation.
"Hello, Mr. Meng." Zhao's mother's voice came from the phone, "Is there anything about Mai Mai?"
"Yes, there is a situation, I think I still have to talk to you, aunt..."
Meng Bai did not hide it, and explained the current situation tactfully.
In summary, there were some unexpected situations in the previously discussed agreement, and it did not develop as expected, resulting in the possibility that he, the boyfriend, might have to continue.
Of course, when he was talking, he changed some of the order and took the responsibility of this matter.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated a mother's understanding of her daughter.
"Mr. Meng, if I guess correctly, this should be Mai Mai who brought it up first."
"Uh, Auntie can't..."
"Mr. Meng and I are only ten years apart, you don't have to call me aunt." Zhao's mother suddenly interrupted him.
Then I can't just call "mother-in-law", Meng Bai complained in his heart.
It can be heard that although Zhao's mother's tone seems calm, she is actually suppressing her anger.
But it is understandable. She originally trusted you, so she handed her daughter to you, but now she suddenly told herself that you are the biggest "danger".
In other words, she knew that it should be her daughter who took the initiative, otherwise she would have called the police to accuse Meng Bai of "trafficking girls".
Then again, Zhao's mother also had mixed feelings.
To be fair, her daughter is an actor, and it is really a great fortune to find such a boyfriend.
If Meng Bai is single, then she will definitely agree 100%, without any hesitation. Even if the other party's reputation is not so good, it is much better than finding an actor or artist.
But the problem is that basically everyone knows that this Mr. Meng has a girlfriend, and more than one. If her daughter really follows her, what is the difference between that and being a "concubine" in ancient times. What
if he just took a fancy to her daughter's youth, and kicked her away after a few years of playing enough, it would be fine if the girl could think it through, but if she couldn't think it through and couldn't accept it, then it would be a disaster.
This kind of worry is not something that Meng Bai can just promise. After all, the promise of a man with multiple girlfriends is no different from farting.
But it is not realistic to force his daughter to separate from the other party.
Firstly, Zhao's mother knows her daughter too well. This girl will never listen to her, especially now that she has grown up; secondly, she has to consider Meng Bai's status and background.
What a headache!
Zhao's mother sighed secretly, and even couldn't help but blame Meng Bai in her heart: You said that you are so high-ranking, can't you find a way to keep dating Mai Mai from me?
There was silence on the phone for a long time. Just when Meng Bai was about to take the initiative to speak, he finally heard Zhao's mother's voice: "I need to think about this matter, but I hope that Mr. Meng can agree to one of my requests."
"Auntie, you say."
"Before the matter is resolved, you are not allowed to bully Mai Mai, otherwise..."
Zhao's mother didn't finish her words, nor did she explain what "bullying" meant, but Meng Bai understood her meaning without any hindrance.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I promise you."
"There won't be any 'unexpected situations' this time, right?"
"Uh..."
"Forget it, I'll just assume you'll keep your promise."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Meng Bai couldn't help but frown.
Until the end, Mother Zhao didn't say what she thought, so he didn't know what the situation was.
After thinking for a while, he put the matter aside for the time being.
Things will work out when the time comes. Anyway, with his current strength, he can just deal with it.
