"Yes, I am not normal, so why are you, a normal person, calling me?"

Sang Yuwan was too lazy to argue with her, so he snorted and asked in a self-deprecating manner.

Sang Leng said, "I didn't want to call you either. My father asked me to contact you. He already knows about your scandals with two men. He's very angry and wants you to give him an explanation."

"What do you mean? The mouth is on someone else's body, and the hands are on someone else's hands. What others say and write is their business. What does it have to do with me? If he is angry, he should go find those who slandered me. Why should he look for me?" Sang Yuwan said righteously.

Sang Leng's voice became even colder as he said, "You promised not to spread any messy rumors that would bring disgrace to the family, and that's why your father agreed to let you enter this industry. Don't tell me those useless things. If you keep a clean record, how could others say or write nonsense about you?"

"My dear sister, are you living in a vacuum? Apart from doing your research, do you really not read the news? Obviously... some scientists also understand the rules of the entertainment industry, why don't you understand them at all?"

They are both scientists, so why does Gu Mingyu understand it better?

"I'm telling you about your scandal, why are you talking nonsense?" Sang Leng said unhappily.

"What I'm telling you is about the gossip. In our circle, even if you do nothing, others may talk about you or write about you. There's nothing I can do about it. If you don't believe it, you can go into the circle and ask around." Sang Yuwan replied.

Sang Leng said: "I really can't communicate with you. Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then you should find time to go home and explain to your father in person."

"I won't go back. If he has the guts, he can come and see me."

Sang Yuwan hung up the phone decisively.

She knew her father would not come to see her.

His daughter was never liked in the first place, and now she was doing a job he didn't like, and something happened to her that made him feel embarrassed.

He would not come to see her.

"Sister Wanwan, are you really not going to let me in?"

Xiaomei stood outside the door again and asked pitifully.

Sang Yuwan wanted to drink again.

He replied, "If you bring me a bottle of wine, I will let you in."

"Forget it, I'd better not go in."

Xiaomei answered.

Sang Yuwan sighed.

Lying in bed and looking at the ceiling, I feel like life is meaningless.

She was thinking whether she should terminate her contract with Gu Group and simply quit the entertainment industry.

Anyway, the money she earns now is enough for the rest of her life.

Of course, as long as the Gu Group doesn't ask her for too much liquidated damages, she can still save a lot of money.

With this much money, where can you live?

No need to diet, no need to control weight, no need to worry about being written about, no need to think about drinking, and you don’t even have the freedom to drink.

Come to think of it, those days were pretty good.

but……

Do you really want to quit the circle?

Become a lazy and useless idler?

"Sang Nuan, you will really be a waste from now on."

That voice could still ring clearly in her mind, like a sharp sword splitting her heart.

How could the physical pain be as severe as the pain caused by these words?

She thought she was going to die in pain!

But his body was too good and his heart was too strong, so he didn't die even in such pain.

After she survived, she had a big fight with her father for the first time.

With a bandage still wrapped around his face, he almost got thrown to the ground by the old man when he jumped up.

"Who said I'm useless? I will live like a human being to show you."

An identity known by everyone and liked by everyone.

The only thing she could think of was celebrities.

Even though I knew that what my father hated the most was celebrities, and that he thought so-called celebrities were just actors who were useless except for flattery.

There was a child among my relatives who was a fan of a star. Once when we had New Year’s Eve dinner together, my father criticized him harshly when he found out.

When she was a child, she also liked stars and collected star posters. When her father found out, she tore them up and threw them into the trash can.

Since he doesn't like celebrities, she wants everyone to know her.

Then, she will become a star.

It's only been three short years, if I really give up.

If he knew about this, would he laugh at me again?

***********

Gu Mingyu asked Chu Jinglan to meet her and asked him to bring his wife and children.

In fact, even without Gu Mingyu saying anything, Chu Jinglan would have brought his wife and children along.

He finally got a vacation at home and cherished every minute with his wife and children.

I don't want to be separated from you at any time and I will take you with me no matter where I go.

Tangyuan, who is over two years old, is at an age when he is very popular.

And she really lives up to her name, she is fair and tender, just like a cooked, chewy and delicious white glutinous rice ball.

Chu Jinglan hugged him.

A tall, handsome father, a cute, bouncy and adorable son, and a beautiful mother following him.

The family of three is particularly eye-catching.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Mingyu arrived a moment earlier than them and had not yet entered the private room.

Seeing this scene, I was glad that I booked a private room, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to speak properly.

"Tangyuan, call uncle, uncle hold you."

Gu Mingyu reached out and teased the little Tangyuan.

However, when little Tangyuan saw him, he smiled shyly and stretched out his little arms, but refused to call him uncle.

Gu Mingyu took him in his hands and teased him to call for help.

"Call uncle."

Little Tangyuan still refused to speak, but danced happily.

"This child is still so quiet." said Gu Mingyu.

Chu Jinglan looked at his son lovingly and said, "Looks like me."

"It's quite similar. The noble man speaks slowly." Gu Mingyu teased with a smile.

After entering the private room, Liang Qingran asked the waiter to bring in a child seat and asked Gu Mingyu to put his son in the child seat.

"I'll sit next to him. You can eat well later."

Chu Jinglan asked the waiter to put the child seat next to him, and said to Liang Qingran in a gentle tone.

Liang Qingran blushed and nodded.

After being married for many years, their relationship is still as good as ever.

Even because they are apart for a long time and lack the friction that is easy to arise between couples who spend a long time together, they still maintain their feelings for each other.

They are obviously an old couple, but they give people the illusion that they are still in love.

Gu Mingyu shook his head and said, "When will you two end your relationship and become like a normal couple?"

Liang Qingran blushed at the teasing.

Chu Jinglan held Liang Qingran's hand and said openly, "It will never end in this life. If you are envious, find a girlfriend to show us."

"Chu Jinglan, you are so vulgar. You are urging people to get married." Gu Mingyu said to him.

Chu Jinglan said: "It's not that I want to meddle in other people's business. It's my brother-in-law who told me to mention it every time I see you. I'm just completing my brother-in-law's task."

"My brother is really..."

You haven't even taken care of your own business yet and you're meddling in his affairs.

"You called my husband and me here today, not just to treat us to dinner!" Chu Jinglan guessed.

Gu Mingyu said, "Let's order the food first and chat while we eat."

He gave the menu to Liang Qingran and asked Liang Qingran to order.

Although he was the host, he also knew that in Chu Jinglan's family, Chu Jinglan was in charge of major matters, while Liang Qingran was in charge of minor matters.

So small matters like what dishes to order would definitely be decided by Liang Qingran.

Anyway, up to now, nothing major has happened in Chu Jinglan's family.

So, he gave the menu to Liang Qingran and asked her to order. He was relieved and Chu Jinglan was happy.

Sure enough, Chu Jinglan showed a happy expression.

When Liang Qingran was ordering food, he whispered to her, "Order whatever you like, don't consider us."

"Ah."

Liang Qingran nodded.

Although he said not to consider them, Liang Qingran still ordered what he liked and what Chu Jinglan liked.

She wasn't quite sure what Gu Mingyu liked to eat, so after dining together a few times, she ordered two dishes based on what he had been able to eat before.

Of course, I also ordered an egg custard for their little glutinous rice balls.

I specifically told the waiter not to add salt to the minced meat, just a few drops of soy sauce and sesame oil would be enough.

After the dishes came.

Chu Jinglan let Liang Qingran eat his own food while he took care of his son.

Then, he asked Gu Mingyu what was going on.

Because after dinner they have to take their son to the early childhood education center for parent-child classes, so they don’t have much time to spend with him.

“You guys are really busy.”

Gu Mingyu was speechless when he heard about the classes at the early childhood education center.

"I'm not very good at getting along with children, so I signed up for a parent-child class, hoping to develop relationships through game interactions," Chu Jinglan explained.

Gu Mingyu nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Spending time with a child is not just about taking care of his clothes and food. The most important thing is the emotional interaction."

"So, if you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I don't have much time to give you."

"It's like this, did you guys see the scandal between my brother and Sang Yuwan a few days ago?"

Chu Jinglan nodded and said, "Isn't that fake?"

If he hadn't known it was fake, he would have gone to find Gu Mingchen long ago. How could he have been so calm?

"There's a saying that goes 'There's no wind without waves.'" Gu Mingyu said meaningfully.

Chu Jinglan frowned and asked doubtfully: "What do you want to say? You don't want to say that my brother-in-law really cheated on you?"

"No, Sang Nuan is not that kind of person."

Liang Qingran didn't want to interrupt, but since it involved Sang Yuwan, she had to.

"My brother won't cheat, and Sang Yuwan is not that kind of person. They all know where the red line is and won't cross it easily. But the body can be controlled, but the emotions can't. I don't know what my brother really thinks, although I talked to him and he denied it. But will Sang Yuwan really not be tempted? An excellent, mature, and steady man cares about her so much, do you think she really won't be tempted?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Chu Jinglan asked directly.

He said so much and laid so much groundwork, but he still didn't understand what he wanted to express.

"Sang Yuwan was addicted to alcohol. I discovered this by accident. Please don't tell anyone. I guess the reason why she became addicted to alcohol is related to my brother. She likes my brother, but they can't be together, so she turns to alcohol to relieve her sorrow. I talked to my brother about this issue, but he denied that Sang Yuwan became addicted to alcohol because of him, and said that my sister-in-law also knew about it. But no matter how I asked him, he refused to tell me the reason. So, I came to you two for help, hoping that you can help me find out the reason."
