Mu Xiaocheng chuckled twice, then, on a sudden inspiration, pointed the camera at Shen Yiming.
"Grandpa, Shen Yiming is back. We're having dinner."
Suddenly being called out, the movie star was completely bewildered. Looking at the serious face on his phone screen, he tried to force a smile.
He waved and greeted, "Old Master."
Although Meng Zhixiang is a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he is not traditional or rigid at heart.
He also uses WeChat, a social networking tool.
He also watches videos online, so he knows a lot about Shen Yiming.
"Hey kid, if you're going to act, just act properly. How come I heard you were having a scandal with an actress the other day?"
"Since you've chosen this profession, you have to keep yourself clean, act well, be a good person, and stay away from all that nonsense."
Shen Yiming's lips twitched uncontrollably. Old Master Meng's information network was truly impressive; he even knew about his scandalous affair.
The old man kept giving instructions on the other end of the video call, and Shen Yiming nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand, this will never happen again. Don't worry, sir."
Seeing that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Grandpa Meng didn't say anything more.
The conversation then shifted back to Mu Xiaocheng: "Xiaocheng."
"Hey, I'm here." Mu Xiaocheng turned the camera back to herself.
The old man just gave Shen Yiming a good scolding, so he shouldn't be so angry now, right?
She knew her grandfather was definitely coming to interrogate her, so after what had just happened, she had already thought of what to say.
Fortunately, Shen Yiming was there to take the fall.
Shen Yingdi glared at Mu Xiaocheng with displeasure. That cunning girl always uses him as a shield.
Old Master Meng stared intently at the camera, his eyes gleaming, and said loudly, "We agreed beforehand that that brat surnamed Ji would come to see me. What? Are you all very busy?"
Mu Xiaocheng's eyes darted around, and she quickly said, "Grandpa, we were planning to come see you yesterday, but I ran into some trouble."
"Trouble? What trouble? Is it serious? Are you injured?"
Grandpa Meng asked with some concern, launching into a series of questions, his previous stern demeanor completely gone.
Mu Xiaocheng shook her head: "I'm sitting here perfectly fine, aren't I? I was just attacked online, and it caused quite a stir. I'm so grateful to Ji Huaishen. So please don't be angry that we didn't come to see you."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaocheng's words, Grandpa Meng snorted, "Speaking up for him again?"
"What's so great about that brat?"
"I don't care, I'm telling you right now, you two have to come here tomorrow. No matter what the big deal is, I need to see you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, we'll definitely be there tomorrow."
Mu Xiaocheng nodded hurriedly and said many kind words before the old man finally hung up the video call.
"Phew~"
She leaned back in her chair, feeling somewhat weak, and agreed without asking Ji Huaishen's opinion.
What if Ji Huaishen doesn't have time?
Depend on!
She's such a pig-brain, how could she agree to that?
Tomorrow? Time is running out; she needs to hurry back to discuss it with Ji Huaishen.
It wouldn't be fun if they found out tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaocheng stood up somewhat flustered and said to Shen Yiming, "I have something to do, so I'll go first. Take your time eating."
After saying that, Mu Xiaocheng put away her phone and turned to leave.
Shen Yiming frowned as he watched her retreating figure. Wasn't she just going to see Old Master Meng?
Why is this girl so nervous?
Could it be that she and Ji Huaishen... have some unspeakable secret?
