After getting off the bus, Xu Lu was a little confused. He stood by the bus, blinking his round eyes, and asked, "Uncle Zheng, what happened to your leg?"
"let..."
Xu Mengyu poked Zheng Tianming in the lower back with her finger, signaling that if he dared to say anything out of line, she would pinch him again if she had the chance.
Zheng Tianming swallowed the words he was about to say, bent down and picked Xu Lu up from beside the car: "Didn't your grandmother teach you not to ask questions that children shouldn't ask?"
That's how Aunt Li has always disciplined him since he was a child.
"No, Grandma said that if anyone thinks Lulu talks too much, she should slap them across the face." Xu Lu finished speaking and looked at Zheng Tianming with an innocent and naive expression.
That's really how Li Milui taught him...
Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow, placed his large hand on the car frame, and Xu Mengyu slowly got out of the car.
"Sister, I just chatted with Yunhe for a bit. He said you've gained a lot of weight recently, but I think you've lost weight." Fang Bei said, looking at Xu Mengyu with a concerned expression.
As soon as Shao Yunhe walked over, he heard this: "Fine, you scumbag, just you wait and see."
"To be honest, my sister's face is rounder, her complexion is better, and her whole demeanor is different from before. She looks healthier and more beautiful. Does Brother Fang Bei think that being fat is a bad thing?" Shao Yunhe asked, puzzled.
Hu Xiaohui draped a light jacket over Xu Mengyu's shoulders. It didn't matter in the studio, but there was always the possibility of being photographed without her consent when they went out. In addition, she was in the eye of the storm, so she absolutely could not wear a bodyguard's jacket anymore.
"I feel it's necessary to remind you both that discussing a girl's weight in private is a very impolite thing to do," Zheng Tianming said before following behind Xu Mengyu.
Xu Mengyu glanced at him lightly, and for a moment, he gave her the illusion that he was very serious.
Xu Lu swung her legs, thinking that her mother belonged to Uncle Zheng and she hated anyone who tried to take her away.
Especially Uncle Fangbei, his affection was too superficial, it was the kind of affection he had only for his mother. I didn't understand before, I thought he was a very nice person, gentle and he bought me toys.
Looking back now, he just wanted to impress his mother; the fact that she liked him was mostly an act.
But Uncle Zheng was different. He didn't try to please anyone, and his words were often harsh, but you could tell from the details that he cared a lot.
Fang Bei and Shao Yunhe exchanged a glance, creating an awkward situation where neither of them spoke.
There are several other artists in the studio, including two women who did not leave. One is a mature and sophisticated woman with a very mature style of dress, and the other is a veteran actress signed by Xu Mengyu. She is almost sixty years old this year, and her attire is very simple, but she is in very good condition.
Hu Xiaohui opened the door to the private room first, and Xu Mengyu walked in with a smile: "Good evening, everyone."
Zheng Tianming carried Xu Lu inside. The entire private room was filled with celebrities, and he didn't recognize any of them except for Xu Mengyu...
The head seat was still empty, so Xu Mengyu walked over with a smile, still maintaining her proper demeanor: "Sister Zhou, are you feeling better?"
The 60-year-old veteran actress put down her teacup and nodded: "My throat is still a little uncomfortable." Her voice was very hoarse, and it was clear that she was having a hard time speaking.
"Take good care of yourself, don't rush it," Xu Mengyu said as she sat down in a chair.
In fact, Zhou Xinyu knew very well that her voice would not recover after the surgery, and she had told Xu Mengyu about it before the incident.
She told her to rest assured and recover, and that she would not reduce the agreed-upon signing fee by a single penny, nor would she force her to take on any work.
It's like giving her money for free. Zhou Xinyu came today for another reason. She wanted to mention to Xu Mengyu again that the studio is in such a difficult situation, and she knows her limits after being in this industry for so long. She can't just stay here forever.
The woman sitting to the side said with dissatisfaction, "It's rare for everyone to get together today, and I don't want to go to Shaoxing, but who is Shen Yunxi anyway? I used to think her hands were dirty when she carried my shoes."
She was incredibly popular a few years ago, even internationally. In recent years, due to having a baby, she has only taken on high-quality scripts. Although her popularity can't compare to what it used to be, she still has a significant voice in the industry.
She contacted Xu Mengyu immediately after the incident, but Xu Mengyu kept asking her if her baby was well-behaved and easy to take care of, clearly not wanting her to get involved.
Xu Mengyu smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea: "I'm working on the matter. The process won't be quick, but please be patient. For better resources and for the future, we need to be patient and wait."
She's not some saint, and being attacked and insulted like this, she'll definitely try to gain some benefits for the other artists who stayed in the studio.
Most importantly, she needs to find a way to get back the money that fans spent on gifts during the live stream.
As for the fans, she has already filed lawsuits against those who bullied them, and she also has professional staff privately comforting them.
If she were just an artist, she could do whatever she wanted without worry, but she has so many people following her, so she has to think things through.
Zheng Tianming stood beside Xu Mengyu, holding Xu Lu in his arms. He had only seen a small part of her good qualities before; there were many more that he was unaware of.
Xu Lu looked at Xu Mengyu, and all he saw was exhaustion.
"I believe in my sister." Shao Yunhe said, and began to pour tea for the people present. Among these people, his family background was only average, and his resources and popularity were certainly not as good as theirs.
Fang Bei glanced at them and saw that some of them might not be able to get good scripts after getting sick, while others were not popular to begin with and did not bring any economic benefits to the studio, so even if they left, they would not make any waves.
In his eyes, they were like leeches clinging to Xu Mengyu, utterly useless, just constantly sucking her blood; to put it bluntly, they were nothing but a burden.
His family is in business, and business people are very pragmatic. Only Xu Mengyu would do such a losing business.
Xu Mengyu took a sip of tea, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly: "I believe that as long as we are united, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome."
She wasn't greedy for food; this gathering was also to see everyone's true colors, who was sincere, and who was just observing. She could see it all clearly.
They had just finished ordering when a loud argument broke out outside.
The staff kept trying to persuade them, but the other party seemed not to listen at all, and the bodyguards and assistants standing outside were also making noise.
"I booked this private room yesterday morning. I'm not trying to cause you any trouble, but what's with your attitude? Just because you're a big star with bodyguards, you think you're so great?!" A shrill female voice rang out.
The door to the private room was closed, and everyone present could hear her clearly. You can imagine how loud her voice was; it was almost a shout.
Zheng Tianming put Xu Lu down with a stern face.
Xu Mengyu leaned back in her chair and watched him walk out...
