Is it fun to be a mistress?
·
"Silent Mourning" has been confirmed to be released during the National Day Golden Week.
As the leading actor, Cen Yuan could not be contacted for a long time.
Even director Yu Xiushi had to attend some events to promote the movie.
"What do you mean I can't get in touch with you? Did Changkong Entertainment go bankrupt?"
During the dinner, Yu Xiushi found a secluded corner and asked in a low voice. The cigarette between his fingers burned with sparks, but he couldn't suppress his anger.
From a business perspective, Xie Qi shouldn't act so arbitrarily, no matter what the reason.
"The contract states that Cen Yuan must cooperate with the film's promotion and activities. Is Xie Qi breaching the contract?"
"What do you mean I can't get in touch with Xie..."
He heard some movement behind him, and without finishing the rest of his words, he glanced behind him, then looked away, maintaining the same posture as before to listen to the phone, his expression very solemn.
"Ask Changkong to give me accurate information."
Cheng Zeyu walked over to his side, waited for him to hang up the phone, and asked him, "Is Changkong still not cooperating?"
Yu Xiushi flicked the cigarette in his hand, put it to his lips, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled. Under the night sky, his profile was obscured by the smoke and made it difficult to understand.
"It doesn't matter if Cen Yuan can't participate in the roadshow. You and I can work harder and go to a few more shows." He was like a good friend who cared about Yu Xiushi wholeheartedly.
Yu Xiushi lowered his eyes, making it difficult to discern his thoughts. "Don't worry about this."
He took another puff and felt that the smell of cigarette was very boring. He had no place to put out the cigarette, so he quickly put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Okay, you've been smoking a lot these past two years, so you should smoke less. If Teacher Yu sees you, he'll scold you again."
Yu Xiushi didn't say anything.
Cheng Zeyu continued to ramble on: "Don't worry about the movie. Maybe Mr. Xie and Cen Yuan had another fight. I've never seen them be vague about work. Maybe we'll see them in a couple of days."
"Jin Man is pregnant again. You should spend more time with her." Yu Xiushi glanced at him coldly, interrupting what he was about to say, "You're out all day. She suspects you have other intentions."
Cheng Zeyu paused, his mind racing, "What do you mean?"
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered, "Maybe he suspects you like boys."
Cheng Zeyu's body trembled slightly, and he looked surprised at first. After a few seconds, he said helplessly: "What kind of nonsense does she always think about every day..."
Although he said this, he was actually very nervous. He didn't know if Yu Xiushi was testing him by saying this.
Over the past two years, he had always felt that Yu Xiushi seemed to see through him, so he didn't even ask a question, which made him unsure how to respond to Xiushi.
Sometimes he wondered if he was wrong, that Yu Xiushi didn't like him at all, otherwise he wouldn't have treated him the same as everyone else. Fortunately, upon closer inspection, there was a difference.
However, after he entered the entertainment industry, he gradually became less able to feel these differences.
At least, Cheng Zeyu could confirm that Yu Xiushi treated him differently when he knew that he was with Jin Man.
He has always handled it well. Yu Xiu Shi never pointed it out, and he has always been Yu Xiu Shi's friend who is unaware of his love for women.
Emotionally, Yu Xiushi can look at her differently, but in terms of career...
Normally, he would be too polite to mention it in front of Yu Xiushi, but Yu Xiushi would really be indifferent and never take the initiative to give him any resources.
"She doesn't know that I like men, but you know."
"I..." He confessed so suddenly that Cheng Zeyu was not prepared at all.
"You are Hua Tian's son-in-law now. There is no need to treat me like this all the time. I don't have any bad thoughts, but Jin Man tends to overthink things. This is your problem."
Yu Xiushi almost told him not to fawn over him, saying it was unnecessary and would only make his wife think too much. He was right about one thing; Yu Xiushi had never given Cheng Zeyu the wrong idea. He had never thought Cheng Zeyu would like him.
Just two sentences made Cheng Zeyu's face terribly gloomy.
Yu Xiushi didn't care what he thought. He looked at the time and prepared to go back to the dinner party and stay for a while before leaving.
However, before he took two steps, he was stopped by Cheng Zeyu.
"Do you really have to do this?"
Why did Yu Xiushi always keep mocking him? He had already climbed onto the golden vine, so he should have stayed around it more.
His rationality was shattered by Yu Xiushi's repeated mention of Jin Man when he wanted to find some peace and quiet, and his indifferent attitude over and over again.
Yu Xiushi was held by him. He struggled but failed to break free. Just as he was about to use force, Cheng Zeyu let go of his hand first.
"I thought we were friends, but you don't seem to think so. I wonder if I did something wrong?" He used ambiguous words.
Seeing that Yu Xiushi didn't make any moves and didn't look angry, Cheng Zeyu decided to add some spice. He lowered his head to bring himself closer to Yu Xiushi, and also showed a hint of weakness at the right time.
"You didn't reply to my messages or answer my calls. I didn't even ask myself what I did wrong to make you angry and make you not want to see me or talk to me. It's okay once or twice, but your attitude makes me feel that you don't regard me as a friend. If there is something wrong with me, please tell me. Aren't we friends?"
In fact, he also thought that if Yu Xiu Shi was a woman, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Yu Xiushi didn't have a single romantic thought towards this person right before his eyes. "Don't you know whether I consider you a friend or not?"
If Cheng Zeyu is still single and he doesn't have... he might be very happy to be hooked by someone he once had a crush on.
I just thought of it as fun, now I just feel annoyed.
She is already married to Jin Man and has children, but she still wants to work hard for him. Is there something wrong with her brain?
He distanced himself, his eyes cold. "It's nothing work-related, so keep your distance. Our family's problems are bad enough as it is, don't make them worse."
"Xiu Shi... I know I can't give you what you want... I... I always regard you as my best friend."
"If you can't give it to me, then forget it. It's not a big deal." Yu Xiushi said lightly.
Yes, it’s no big deal. There is more than one man who is courting him. Why can’t he be like Xie Qi, who disappeared without a trace, alive or dead?
Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that he was thinking about their past, Cheng Zeyu took action again, "Xiu Shi..."
He felt a tug on his sleeve, and Yu Xiushi moved to free it, not wanting to waste any more time talking to him. "Cheng Zeyu, that's enough! I hope you remember that I like men, and you're my cousin's husband, understand? Jin Man can give you far more than I can. This has always been your choice. Don't feel wronged just because I gave you the cold shoulder. If you really feel wronged, then divorce her and stop wasting Jin Man."
"Yes, I chose it myself! But I treat you as a friend, and what about you? You always give me the cold shoulder. What can I do if you like a guy? Should I clean myself up and take the initiative to sleep with you? Or should I pretend to find out accidentally and tell you that we can give it a try?"
"No one asked you to read my face." Yu Xiushi didn't know that because he was a straight man, he always kept a distance from him, which made Cheng Zeyu think so much.
That's easy to say! One of Yu Xiushi's parents is a business heir, and the other's family is a leader in the industry. Yu Xiushi can get investment and awards for just any film he makes, but as Yu Xiushi's friend, it's difficult for him to even give him any resources.
If Yu Xiushi had forced himself to be with him, Cheng Zeyu might not have been so resentful. Yu Xiushi never said anything, leaving him to guess, perhaps even waiting for him to throw himself into his arms.
"Oh, Yu Xiushi, you are so hypocritical."
I want him to bow his head, but I also look down on him.
Seeing that he was immersed in his own world, Yu Xiushi was too lazy to talk to him. He told him to let his imagination run wild and turned to leave.
Cheng Zeyu didn't expect that even after he had come to this point, Yu Xiushi was still so indifferent. He was immediately furious and his mind was full of thoughts of exposing Yu Xiushi. Anyway, it had come to this point.
He sneered: "You look down on me so much now, could it be that you are really hooking up with Xie Qi?"
When Yu Xiushi heard Xie Qi's name for the first time, his heart started beating wildly, and his eyes turned fierce when he looked at Cheng Zeyu.
Thinking he had uncovered Yu Xiushi's past, Cheng Zeyu taunted him, "You're so annoying me, are you seeing yourself? But I'm better than you. I didn't have anything to do with you, but you're different. You must have been photographed when you sent him home, right? Oh, he even went to your studio, all by himself. You were afraid I'd run into him before, so you didn't dare let me go to your studio. Were you afraid of what I'd say? Now that people are ignoring you, are you upset?"
He became more and more proud as he spoke, "Yu Xiushi, isn't it great to be a mistress?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Yu Xiushi's eyes moved slightly, and it was unclear whether he was angry or not.
"Does it have anything to do with me? Oh, Yu Xiushi, are you heartless? I've known you for so many years, and I've said so many good things about you to your parents. I've accompanied you when no one wanted to play with you, and I've been so careful with you, afraid that you'd be unhappy, and this is what I get in return?"
"So you're just trying to be friends with me?"
"I've done so much for you, and you won't even open your mouth. I owe everything to myself. What about you? Because I was with Jin Man, you were always sarcastic and rude to me. Then you turned around and hooked up with Xie Qi. You deserved to be dumped!" At first, Cheng Zeyu kept his voice down, but later he became more and more excited. He grabbed Yu Xiushi's collar and questioned him, "You keep talking about Jin Man and Hua Tian. Don't you like me? Why did you let me misunderstand? If you had helped me a little, I wouldn't have gotten together with her! And now you look down on me like this. Do you think it's fun to watch me being toyed with?"
What misunderstanding? A misunderstanding that he would help him, give him resources? Yu Xiushi had never seen anyone so thoughtful as him. He waved the man away with a flick of his hand. He wasn't as excited as Cheng Zeyu. He had just heard other noises and just wanted to leave quickly. However, he turned around and took two steps before stopping.
Cheng Zeyu was so angry that his eyes turned red. After he said so much, Yu Xiushi still looked indifferent, which further proved that all the efforts he had spent on Yu Xiushi over the years had been wasted.
He chased after her, "I've given so much for you, and you..."
The following words stopped abruptly.
Jin Man's face turned pale at some point, and she looked at them with tears in her eyes at the corner of the entrance.
Yu Xiushi didn't know what she heard, he just knew that he wanted to curse.
Cheng Zeyu heard that Yu Xiushi was recently worried about publicity and had participated in activities that he didn't like to participate in before. As the leading actor, Cheng Zeyu naturally had to do his best in publicity. Although Jin Man was not happy that he was getting busier and busier, she didn't say anything and could only follow Cheng Zeyu.
