Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Luosang listened silently, nodding from time to time. Zhou Xiaoye, the girl who did the voice of a supporting female character said, “Honestly, we are all average-looking, but Luosang, you’re so good at acting and so pretty. Why do you insist on working behind the screen? It’s such a waste.”

“I agree. You see, Zhong Yi isn’t as pretty as you are, but still, she became a star,” said Chang Xiao. “Well, I think she’s indecent. Was staying with Yi Jingxi not good enough? She cheated on him, and now she’s miserable. Although the Yi Group now has problems, too, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.”

“Being a star can make you rich, but many problems will occur when you become famous. We are much freer than those stars.” Luosang smiled.

“That is true. You are basically carefree. All you need to do is to cherish your handsome and rich boyfriend. You don’t need to strive so hard for a place in the entertainment industry.” Zhou Xiaoye sighed. “The entertainment industry is all about money. Let’s take Zhong Yi as an example. She’s used to her luxurious lifestyle, but now she can’t get any jobs, so she became Mr. Miao’s mistress.”

“We know about that,” said Feng Cheng. “Last time, Director Tang saw them in a restaurant.”

“There’re something you don’t know yet. Here is the shocking news,” said Zhou Xiaoye mysteriously. “I heard from a friend of mine who’s a journalist that last week, Zhong Yi was taken to the hospital at night. It’s said that there was a large wound in her private area, which even needed to be stitched. The Miao family’s people managed to keep that secret.”

Luosang was so shocked that she even forgot to swallow the food in her mouth.

“That Mr. Miao is so sick.” Feng Cheng was surprised. “How much does Zhong Yi love money? Does she have to do that to herself?”

“We don’t understand, either. In the worst case, she could just leave the entertainment industry. I guess she’s just unwilling to give up that glorious life, so she has no choice but to fall into hell.” Zhou Xiaoye sighed again and said, “Mr. Miao is rich indeed, but is also famous for being sick. His marriage with his wife exists in name only.”

Feng Cheng waved a hand and said with dislike, “Alright, let’s stop talking about these kinds of things. They are just too negative.”

After dinner, Luosang called Nian Junting. The call wasn’t answered. Tonight was his grandma’s birthday party, so she guessed that he should be busy greeting the guests at this time. She heard that this was his grandma’s eightieth birthday, and that many guests would attend the dinner party.

…

Tianxi Grand Hotel, Forth Floor.

Nian Junting and his cousins were welcoming the guests at the entrance.

Nian Junting’s grandma had three children who worked in either the military world or the business world. Originally, they only planned to book a few tables and hold a small party with their families and friends to celebrate their mother’s eightieth birthday, but the news somehow spread, and quite a few uninvited guests showed up to offer birthday felicitations.

Nian Junting arranged a seat for a guest, then turned around and saw Captain Liu from the Armed Police Corps walk over with Leng Shuangwei. “Junting, you’re more and more handsome.” Captain Liu laughed. “This is Leng, our new instructor.”

“Uncle Liu, Miss Leng, please come in and have a seat.” Nian Junting politely nodded at Leng Shuangwei and said, “My father is over there.”

“I’m gonna go and say hi to your grandma first.” Captain Liu walked in with Leng Shuangwei.

Looking at Leng Shuangwei’s back, Nian Junting frowned slightly. One of his cousins patted him on the shoulder and said, “Ah, the military world is small. We can’t do a thing about it.”

Nian Junting nodded and replied, “I’ll leave this area to you. I’m gonna go inside to offer seats to the guests.”

“Go.” His cousin waved a hand.

At six o’clock, Nian Junting sat down at the head table, glancing at all the guests. The look in his eyes suddenly changed when he saw Zhong Yi.
