Chapter 55: The closer you are, the clearer you can hear.
"A robot?!" Jiang Luo and Shi Yan exclaimed in unison.
When talking about her son's embarrassing moments, Zheng Man was clearly more interested, her tone brimming with unrestrained energy, "Yes, it was a robot! Hmm—or rather, a simulated 'interaction experiment' to test a companion robot."
Suddenly, a scene appeared before my eyes: on the street, under the orange-juice-like sunset, He Ziyan was walking with a robot.
With each step they took, they would look at each other and smile, their faces flushed, whether from shyness or the glow of the setting sun, they were all rosy.
Hmm, it's pretty futuristic.
Jiang Luosheng had to pinch her thigh to stop herself from laughing.
So this is what He Ziyan is really like.
“I watched your live stream, so…” Zheng Man apologized, “Lulu is a little girl and a bit delicate. If she offended you, please don’t take it to heart.”
This is my true thought.
She watched Xu Lu grow up; Xu Lu was like her second daughter.
She raised her gaze again and dropped the most crucial information: "But don't worry, Ziyan only sees her as a younger sister. In fact, as they've grown up, Ziyan has been busy with his work, and they've had very little contact."
At this point, it was impossible for Jiang Luo not to notice anything.
We're not children anymore; adults have a tacit understanding when it comes to conversation.
Zheng Man was explaining to her the relationship between He Ziyan and Xu Lu.
This suggests... perhaps she also sees them as a couple.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
It's like...deception.
Even if Jiang Luo had no intention of deceiving.
"Auntie." Composing herself, Jiang Luo mustered her courage and called out.
Since neither she nor Shi Yan were in the top three, they were no longer broadcast live, and no equipment was set up on the vehicle.
Currently, the inside of a car is an absolutely safe space for conversation.
Jiang Luo confessed: "Auntie, He Ziyan and I are just colleagues."
colleague.
As someone in the entertainment industry, I naturally know what this term means.
The implication is that their intimacy was staged for work and not genuine.
Shi Yan was stunned, and then she heard the sound of a heart breaking.
Her heart was broken.
Is her favorite couple going to have a bad ending?
She won't allow it!
"I understand what you're saying." Zheng Man accepted it calmly, and could only accept it for the time being.
He Ziyan has always gotten whatever he wanted, and his life has been so smooth that there hasn't been a single pebble in his path. If he were to encounter some setbacks in his love life, that would be fine too.
She shrugged slightly and looked calmly ahead. "Perhaps, for Ziyan, this is more than just a job."
Stop when you've touched on something.
Zheng Man watched the live stream intently, which was projected onto a 100-inch screen in the living room.
She vouched for He Ziyan as "He Ziyan's mother" that He Ziyan absolutely, positively, positively had feelings for Jiang Luo.
Whether it was the initial surprise, making breakfast for Jiang Luo, or the subtle friction with Xu Lu at the restaurant, beneath the surface, a heart yearning for love was stirring.
Please, his father looked exactly like this back then, okay?
Zheng Man didn't say much, lest she annoy Jiang Luo.
Actually, Jiang Luo wasn't annoyed, only overwhelmed with confusion that felt like it was about to explode.
Could it be... that what she thought about He Ziyan having feelings for her was true?
After all, even Zheng Man said so.
But isn't this just YB's publicity tactic?
Ugh, my head hurts so much.
These things are simply incomprehensible.
Leaning back in her seat, Jiang Luo sighed dejectedly: "Help! I hope this lousy job ends soon. Once I see my real 'boyfriend,' all these strange troubles will be over!"
Cars sped by on the wide streets, heading at full speed toward their destination.
-
The Platinum Hotel stands in the heart of Chunxing City, its silver-blue facade gleaming with every pane of glass.
The 120-meter-tall building sends a clear message from top to bottom: I am expensive.
YB's ACAI launch event was held here.
When the group arrived, a long line of various commercial vehicles was waiting at the entrance.
This is the norm here; several banquets are held every day.
Every guest who got off the bus was impeccably dressed, as if they had stepped out of a magazine, their exquisite appearance resembling a fashion show.
The car moved slowly, and after quite a while, it finally made it to the parking area.
The handsome waiter opened the car door for them.
As soon as they got out of the car, the three of them quickly became the focus of attention.
A torrent of gazes surged forth.
Many guests stared in disbelief, while the waiters, on the other hand, were quite professional, their standard smiles glued to their faces, their eyes fixed straight ahead, completely unmoved.
"It looks so good!"
Is she a celebrity?
"I don't know him."
"Isn't that Zheng Man? I remember seeing the one next to her somewhere before?"
"Century Tower! The one on the Century Tower!"
...
The beauty of celebrities is vastly different from the "refinement" of ordinary people, and there is even an insurmountable gap between them.
It is breathtakingly beautiful, beyond compare.
A sudden burst of noise arose, like pearls of all sizes falling onto a jade plate.
Ignoring the gossip of the crowd, they strode confidently, forging a path through the crowd.
He Ziyan was already waiting at the entrance.
Unlike before, he abandoned his soft puppy-like look, lifted his bangs, and revealed his smooth forehead.
His facial features are smooth and sharp; his jaw, nose, and brow bone are like sculptures by an artist, and every inch of his skin is a masterpiece.
His sharp styling makes him more aggressive and masculine, exuding a strong aura of hormones.
He was no longer a harmless-looking boy, but a man, a wolf capable of fighting and killing in the jungle.
While marveling at the sight, a line from a song inexplicably floated into Jiang Luo's mind: "Combing your hair like an adult."
"Mom?" Upon seeing Zheng Man, who was as green as a scallion, in the distance, He Ziyan felt a sense of foreboding.
As Zheng Man approached, his already icy face darkened further: "Why are you here?"
"I heard from Lao Zhang that he was going to pick up your friends to attend the press conference, so I came along to check it out." Zheng Man stood there, her elegance natural and effortless. As she spoke, she waved and greeted the guests who were peeking at her from the side.
Old Zhang is the driver for the He family.
He Ziyan sneered, "You never used to participate."
There's no need to guess who Mom came for; the answer is obvious.
Seeing He Ziyan's indifferent expression, Zheng Man remembered Jiang Luo's words of distancing herself from him.
It was precisely because He Ziyan kept people at arm's length that Jiang Luo thought they were just colleagues!
Zheng Man was exasperated and wanted to vent her anger on her son, so she retorted, "Don't be too touched. Don't cry your eyes out on stage just because your mother is here. I won't take responsibility for that."
He Ziyan: "..." Did you eat gunpowder?
Beside them, Jiang Luo and Shi Yan exchanged surprised glances.
I never expected that He Ziyan and Zheng Man's relationship would be like this.
That's interesting.
"Shi Yan." After mocking He Ziyan, Zheng Man turned around and adopted a gentle demeanor once again.
No wonder she's a movie queen; her acting skills are top-notch, and her memory is superb. She can accurately call out a name she's only heard once in the car.
Shi Yan rushed forward like a lackey: "Hey! Auntie!"
“I suddenly remembered that your boss is coming today. Shall we go say hello together? I’ve met your boss a few times before, so we can catch up.”
After glancing at He Ziyan and Jiang Luo, Shi Yan called out, "Okay!"
She took a step, then turned back and winked at He Ziyan, "Take good care of Luo Luo for me, okay?"
