The Crazy Son-In-Law

In Liu Yufei’s resentful expression, Zhou Xiaobin felt like he was about to melt. He quickly pulled himself together and smiled, “Where did you hear that? I just happened to see Yibai here, so I came over to chat and discuss our cooperation.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei furrowed her brows, then glanced provocatively and cunningly at Zhou Xiaobin, saying, “Cooperation? You can’t favor one over the other, you know? I want my share too!”

Goodness gracious, her “I want my share too” nearly made Zhou Xiaobin have a stroke on the spot. His blood was boiling!

Suppressing the urge to explode, Zhou Xiaobin nodded repeatedly, “Of course, of course. I’ll immediately tailor a film for you as a stepping stone for your crossover development. I guarantee you’ll win the Best Actress award!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei smiled provocatively and glanced at Mo Yibai across from her. Then she turned to Zhou Xiaobin and said, “Mr. Zhou, if I were to win the Best Actress award, what would Miss Mo do? Wouldn’t she miss her chance to win again?”

“Um… ” This question momentarily stumped Zhou Xiaobin, but when he caught sight of Xiao Shun out of the corner of his eye, his dilemma immediately disappeared.

“Hmph, Yibai has recently gone astray, often hanging out with unsavory characters. It wouldn’t hurt for her to reflect on that. Let her go smoothly on her way. It’s too unimpeded for her,” Liu Yufei said disdainfully.

Who on earth did I provoke? Xiao Shun was speechless, wondering if he had been too low-key recently, making everyone look down on him.

Just as he was about to make a grand gesture, Mo Yibai shook his head and said, “Let’s go, the auction is about to start.”

Watching the two leave, Liu Yufei sneered, “So he’s just a seller of health products. I thought he was something special. Miss Mo being with someone like him is truly beneath her.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobin asked in surprise, “What’s wrong, little darling? It seems like you hold quite a grudge against this guy?”

Liu Yufei didn’t mind being called “little darling” at all. Instead, she began recounting the incident that had just occurred in the hotel lobby.

“That man even insulted me. Mr. Zhou, you have to stand up for me. It’s really infuriating!”

Seeing the distressed little darling, Zhou Xiaobin quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry, leave this to me. If you want to adjust your mindset, we can talk about the new movie at my place tonight. I can tailor it for you.”

As he said the words “tailor it for you,” his expression seemed to imply something more. Liu Yufei clearly understood the underlying meaning and leaned into Zhou Xiaobin’s arms, leaving him speechless.

Meanwhile, Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai had already taken their seats near the platform.

Noticing the silence, Mo Yibai thought Xiao Shun was angry and tried to persuade him, “That’s just how Zhou Xiaobin is. He always acts like he’s above everyone. You don’t need to pay him any mind.”

Xiao Shun shrugged, “I have nothing to do with him. If a dog bites me, should I not bite back?”

Of course, he wouldn’t just bite back. It would be better to just beat it to death and have it for dinner. Wouldn’t that be nice?

“Why are you so down?” Mo Yibai asked, puzzled.

Shaking his head, Xiao Shun replied, “I was just thinking, Liu Yufei looks like a fairy, but her personality is so seductive.”

“Heh.” Mo Yibai sneered, “That’s what makes her powerful. But that’s also the reality of our industry. Women are always at a disadvantage. If they want to succeed, they have to make sacrifices. That’s the rule.”

“You can’t say that so absolutely. At least you’re not that kind of person…”

Xiao Shun smiled wryly, gazing at the dazzling Mo Yibai.

Mo Yibai smiled and said, “I’ve just been lucky, meeting a boss like Mr. He who sticks to his principles, and also having a talent spotter like you.”

Not that kind of person?

Xiao Shun touched his chin, not sure how those words related to him.

Suddenly, a handsome guy walked up to Xiao Shun, arrogantly saying, “Sir, please move. I reserved this seat!”

Xiao Shun was stunned. What’s going on? What do you mean you reserved it?NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Just as he was trying to understand the situation, Mo Yibai angrily said, “Shen Mohan, what do you mean by this?”

The guy named Shen Mohan seemed indifferent, wearing a bitter expression on his face. “Yibai, don’t you understand my feelings for you? Is being a star so important to you? How much can you earn from acting in a movie? Can it compare to being with me?”

Oh my, what’s going on? Xiao Shun suddenly felt overwhelmed, sensing that there was an unusual relationship between Mo Yibai and Shen Mohan, and he seemed to have become a third wheel.

“Shen Mohan, watch your attitude. I’m a public figure now. And don’t act like we have a deep relationship. We’re just friends,” Mo Yibai frowned.

Hearing this, Shen Mohan painfully questioned, “Just friends? Is all my effort over the years just that simple to you? Do you know why your first movie had such high box office numbers? Do you really think you could win the Best Newcomer award based solely on your acting?”

“What do you mean?” Mo Yibai looked puzzled.

Shen Mohan chuckled sardonically, “Haha, nothing much. I just spent five billion to boost the box office for your movie at major cinemas across the country. Your salary for that movie was only ten million. Now, do you understand my feelings for you?”

Xiao Shun vaguely remembered that Mo Yibai’s first movie as a leading actress had broken box office records in the country. At the time, he had paid attention to the news, but he never thought there was something like this going on behind the scenes.

Five billion! That could fund an Oscar-level film. This guy actually spent it just to boost Mo Yibai’s box office!

Being a man is really hard, especially when it comes to love.
