He Rui Film and Television Company held an emergency meeting early in the morning. Shen Yunxi was still in a coma, and even the doctors couldn't guarantee whether she would wake up.
After Xu Mengyu's studio posted "the innocent will clear themselves," they never responded to the matter again. She herself seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Shen Yunxi's agent sat in a chair: "I don't think things are that simple. Xu Mengyu is definitely hiding in the shadows, observing and waiting to turn the tables."
She's known Xu Mengyu for so many years and knows her character too well. She wouldn't give up so easily; she must have a backup plan.
"Go and contact that guy named He Kai. There are only four of them on the island, so his words have some credibility. We must do everything in our power to prevent Xu Mengyu from making a comeback." Boss He Rui's face was grim.
If she turns over, they're all doomed.
Shen Yunxi's agent opened the computer: "I received news that Xu Mengyu's agent, Shen Mei, is going to take several artists to Huixin Entertainment to terminate their contracts. Why don't we try to sign them? To the outside world, they don't want to be accomplices to evil, and it can also show our company's magnanimity."
Xu Mengyu is still too young. She actually thought she could develop real feelings in the entertainment industry, which is a big melting pot. Shen Mei taught her a harsh lesson. Let's see if she dares to do it again.
Shen Mei should have a lot of private information and dirt on Xu Mengyu. Bringing her to her side would be beneficial and harmless. As for whether she would replace her position after she came, she wasn't worried at all.
If anyone can replace her, then she's incompetent. She can turn someone like Shen Yunxi into a top-tier female celebrity, so what else can't she do?
"Oh right, isn't there another one named Zheng Tianming?" Shen Yunxi's agent opened the information on the computer and looked at it carefully: "I don't know why, all I know is that he is a retired soldier, and then I can't find any more information about him. I tried to find him through connections but I still couldn't find him."
Boss Rui leaned back in his chair: "Don't mess with this person." As he spoke, he pointed upwards with his finger: "The person up there."
“...”
“Xu Mengyu had an abortion, didn’t she? Let’s take this opportunity to finalize things for her. I’ve already prepared the documents; I’ll pack them up and send them to the paparazzi later,” said the head of the public relations department, who was sitting to the side.
Xu Mengyu's monopoly is too strong. As a top female star in China, she not only charges low endorsement fees, but also low film and television remuneration. She also holds several charity concerts every year and donates all the money she earns.
By doing this, she clearly left no way out for others, and she deserves the current situation.
“Okay, let’s split up. I’ll go find that guy named He Kai first.” Shen Yunxi’s manager stood up.
He Kai had been staying with Shen Yunxi at the hospital, but Shen Yunxi's parents came and forcibly drove him away, saying that he was a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Given his status, he wasn't even eligible for visitation rights, so in the end he had no choice but to buy a plane ticket home...
Before leaving, he wanted to treat Zheng Tianming to a meal, since they would all have died inside if it weren't for him. But then he realized that he didn't have Zheng Tianming's contact information.
His experience on the desert island was just a dream; once he woke up, life went on as usual.
In the dilapidated neighborhood, Zheng Tianming was delivering gas cylinders from house to house. Because of Xu Mengyu, he couldn't go too far and could only take on part-time jobs.
"Xiaoming, can you help me? I can't flush my toilet." An elderly woman in her seventies said, bending over.
Zheng Tianming, dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, work pants, and woolen gloves, walked to the bathroom with practiced ease after hearing what the old lady said and pressed the flush button: "Grandma, just press this button and it will flush."
The old lady smiled and pulled Zheng Tianming's arm: "Just kidding. Don't go yet. My granddaughter will be back soon. Even though she brought a baby girl, it proves she can have children. You're not young anymore. Don't you want to hold a big, healthy son?"
She thought the young man in front of her was quite good. She had inquired and found out that he was not only unmarried but also didn't have a girlfriend. Wasn't that perfect?
"..." Zheng Tianming was utterly helpless.
He wanted to leave, but the old lady wouldn't let him.
Just then, the door opened, and a woman in business attire led a girl of about four years old into the living room. Upon seeing Zheng Tianming, she was both amused and exasperated: "Grandma, even if you like Brother Zheng, you can't just take him by force." She then blinked.
"Uncle Zheng, my mom watches your videos every day while lying in bed..." The little girl's mouth was covered, and her big, round eyes blinked as she looked at Zheng Tianming.
The woman looked at Zheng Tianming awkwardly...
Zheng Tianming took off his gloves and patted the little girl's head: "There have been many lost children lately, so don't take the child wandering around." After saying that, he glanced at the woman standing next to the girl.
The woman nodded; she had heard about it too. "These people are utterly depraved. They commit fraud, sell drugs, and now they're even trafficking children. Even executing them a hundred times wouldn't be enough." Her husband had become addicted to drugs and run off with some shady woman.
Zheng Tianming put on his gloves and said nothing.
"My dear child, I finally managed to keep you here." The old lady took the little girl's hand and said, "Come on, Grandma will give you some fruit."
The woman bit her lip, speaking as if she didn't want to.
However, Zheng Tianming is outstanding in both appearance and character, and many people around them praise him. But she has been married and has children, so how could she possibly take the initiative to pursue Zheng Tianming...?
Xu Mengyu sat in a wheelchair, wrapped in a blanket, enjoying the air conditioning. She wore silver-rimmed glasses on her delicate nose, with a chain draped over her shoulder. She held a tablet in her hand, looking at documents, while a cup of fragrant coffee sat beside her.
After the doorbell rang, she didn't open the door. A while later, her phone rang, and she asked the delivery person to leave the food at the door.
She was home alone, in a place with poor security and no bodyguards, so it was best to be careful.
After delivering the gas, Zheng Tianming was given two hundred yuan by the boss, who asked if he wanted to deliver to other neighborhoods. He declined. On his way back, he went into a convenience store and bought thirty yuan worth of oden and a few bags of snacks.
Xu Mengyu was as thin as a mantis; one bowl of rice could keep her full for three days...
When he got to the sixth floor, he was stunned. There were more than a dozen express deliveries and five or six takeout orders at the door, some from the hotel and some from the cake shop. There were also all kinds of flowers and vases on the side.
After the door opened, Xu Mengyu leaned to the side and glanced at it: "Brother Zheng, could you please take this for me, thank you." After saying that, she put down the tablet and prepared to eat dinner.
After Zheng Tianming put the oden and snacks down, he squatted down. Even if Xu Mengyu did nothing, just sitting there, his gaze couldn't help but fall on her.
When they moved the last item, Zheng Tianming couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to learn welding at home?" The box had a mask printed on it and was emitting a creepy light.
Xu Mengyu pointed to her face: "Are you out of your mind? What would I be soldering at home? It's for skin whitening."
Zheng Tianming stood up and kicked the thing away...
When they needed him, he called him "Brother Zheng" all the time, but after they finished moving the stuff, he called him a fool: "..."
"Oh, dear brother, I'll give you a scrub later. Let me tell you, my scrubbing skills are top-notch." Xu Mengyu said, even making a scrubbing motion. She had no choice but to ask for his help now.
Zheng Tianming entered the bathroom. The door was closed and locked. What good intentions could a lecherous girl possibly have when she's scrubbing him in the bath?
Xu Mengyu was looking at houses nearby. Xu Lu couldn't be without a place to stay if she came over, but the environment here was too bad and the security was poor. She was a little worried, so she kept hesitating.
Zheng Tianming came out naked after showering; he didn't take any change of clothes, as he was used to being alone at home, and besides, his mind was constantly preoccupied with the issue of child abduction...
Xu Mengyu saw a very muscular man walk out of the bathroom. Water droplets flowed down his muscle lines, and below that were a pair of straight and powerful legs. He was wearing off-white slippers, and apart from a patch of fur, there was nothing covering his body.
She adjusted her glasses, regretting not wearing the blue light blocking glasses and just wearing her regular glasses for better vision...
Zheng Tianming's hair was well-groomed, not very long, and still dripping wet. He turned his head to look at it before entering the bedroom, and his lips twitched slightly.
Xu Mengyu rested her chin on her hands, watching intently without any attempt to hide her gaze.
She knew every single mole on this body, so pretending to be shy now would be too fake.
Zheng Tianming came out of the bedroom wearing black pajamas and saw Xu Mengyu cutting flowers: "Your takeout will get cold if you don't eat it soon." He wasn't embarrassed at all.
She's already tired of playing with it, so what's there to be embarrassed about?
Xu Mengyu looked up at Zheng Tianming with a smile: "I ordered this for you, but I've finished it." As she spoke, she pointed to the porridge on the kitchen table. She was very strict with her figure and wanted to resume exercising as soon as her foot healed.
When Zheng Tianming opened it, he was surprised to find it contained barbecue: chives, beef, lamb kidneys, bull penis, oysters...
"You can't stand it if you don't annoy me for a day?" Zheng Tianming said, sitting in his chair.
If only there were some beer right now. He knew Xu Mengyu didn't like the taste; when he drank it yesterday, she looked disgusted. Before leaving the house today, she gave all the beer to the security guard in the community.
Xu Mengyu took out her phone and showed it to Zheng Tianming: "Look, I picked the most expensive dishes for you, and you actually said I was making things difficult for you." She then pouted, looking wronged; she was doing it on purpose.
Zheng Tianming ignored her; he knew exactly what she was thinking. He paused for a moment when he opened the second box: "Barbecue with 200,000 yuan worth of red wine?"
"Just drink it, don't be picky." Xu Mengyu said, placing the flowers in the vase and then looking at her with admiration. She's really something.
After cutting the cake, Zheng Tianming handed it to Xu Mengyu: "Stop messing around with it, it doesn't look good." Bright red, bright green, and pink all together, how can it look good?
He doesn't understand and thinks everything is ugly.
Xu Mengyu ignored him, her gaze as unpleasant as ever.
"Didn't you buy oden? Why aren't you letting me eat it?" Xu Mengyu saw that it was probably cold by now.
Zheng Tianming got up to get it, saying, "It wasn't bought for you." Although he said that, he still handed it to Xu Mengyu.
“If you want to get married, you’ll have to learn from me from now on.” Xu Mengyu said, eating a skewer of konjac noodles. “You should be giving me a tissue to wipe my mouth right now. I’ll teach you, so learn from me.”
"You're really clever for your own good." Zheng Tianming tore off two tissues and handed them to Xu Mengyu. All she wanted was to wipe her mouth, right?
Xu Mengyu leaned closer to Zheng Tianming: "After you left today, that woman across the street started howling again, shouting something like 'no, no,' do you want to investigate? I have a feeling something's not right."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianming's expression immediately changed. He frowned and said in a low, deep voice, "I'll say it one last time: mind your own business."
Xu Mengyu reached out and pinched Zheng Tianming's leg hard: "Try yelling at me again!" She was just chatting with him, she didn't do anything else, why was he making such a fuss?
Zheng Tianming spread his legs and let her pinch him; it was better than arousing her curiosity.
After letting go, Xu Mengyu drove her wheelchair back to the bedroom. She swore she wouldn't speak to him for the next few hours; she couldn't help it, that was just how much of a threat she was.
After Zheng Tianming finished eating, he tidied up a bit and washed the clothes the two of them had changed out of. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Xu Mengyu video chatting and laughing with someone, looking incredibly happy.
Sitting across from me was a guy with curly hair, probably lying on the bed holding his phone, his shoulders and collarbone exposed: "[Sister Meng, don't worry, I was also sidelined by my former company. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to afford a house or a car, I'd be struggling to survive.]"
Xu Mengyu lay on the bed, swinging her legs, her hand supporting her chin, her silver-rimmed glasses still perched on her nose, wearing Zheng Tianming's oversized white shirt: "I advise you to think this through carefully. If you stay, I'm afraid no director will dare to hire you."
The boy made a nonchalant expression: "[Who said I can only act? I can also be a hand model, a neck model, or even a leg model if all else fails.]" As he spoke, he lifted the blanket to show Xu Mengyu what he was doing.
Xu Mengyu adjusted her glasses. She heard Zheng Tianming open the door, but for some reason, he remained standing there instead of coming over: "Don't be shy, I love to watch."
The boy froze, clutching the blanket, his expression somewhat awkward. He was wearing shorts, and it probably wouldn't look good if he kept looking, but then he remembered that the person opposite him was his boss and also the girl he secretly admired: "Well, what do you think, Sister Meng...?"
Zheng Tianming couldn't listen to any more. She wasn't satisfied with just ruining one of his lives; she wanted to ruin several more.
Xu Mengyu felt the bed sink slightly, and then long, slender fingers appeared in her eyes. The video call had been disconnected. She smiled triumphantly; making him miserable had become her greatest pleasure.
The guy on the other end was still figuring out how to undress when the call ended: "..." Had he undressed too slowly and upset Xu Mengyu...?
"What are you doing?" Xu Mengyu turned around and lay down on the bed, putting her phone aside.
Zheng Tianming threw back the covers and got into bed, his voice low and deep: "If you want to see it, go home and see it. My room and I are too dirty."
Xu Mengyu pinched her thigh to stop herself from laughing. She moved closer to Zheng Tianming and said, "I didn't want to talk to you, but you ruined my plans. Don't you have to make it up to me?"
Zheng Tianming turned away and ignored Xu Mengyu; it was best if she ignored him.
About a minute later, Xu Mengyu sniffed from behind, followed by a familiar voice.
Xu Mengyu lay in bed, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at her phone: "Auntie, Tianming bullied me..."
Feng Xi was just about to go to sleep when she saw Xu Mengyu's pitiful appearance. Her eyes immediately changed. This child was in such a pitiful situation, and Zheng Tianming was bullying her!
Zheng Tianming turned around to grab his phone, but Xu Mengyu wouldn't let him. He had no choice but to hold her tightly in his arms: "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense." His tone was somewhat helpless. When had he ever bullied her? She was just spouting nonsense on the spur of the moment.
Feng Xi parted her lips slightly and nudged Zheng Lin beside her forcefully. Was she seeing things? How could these two be sleeping in the same bed, both only in pajamas, and be so intimate, hugging and embracing...?
Feng Xi suddenly understood something. She hesitated for a moment: "[Um, Mengyu, well, it might not be that I was bullying you, it's just, um...]" She was at a loss for words.
Xu Mengyu was still in a daze when Zheng Tianming glanced at the video and suddenly kissed her on the cheek: "Mom, I'm hanging up now."
