Chapter 1011: Easy to Capture
Even though she obviously knew that they would become more intimate when they got married in the future, she still felt that her little cabbage had been taken advantage of[1]. It was really infuriating.
Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi were present, and Nangong Lengyu had been visiting frequently recently. Even Su Xiyin and Huo Xiao were used to it. No matter what, she was still their dear granddaughter’s biological mother.
Upon seeing her enter, Su Xiyin asked, “Why are you so late? Have you eaten yet?”
Huo Xiao also added, “There’s still some food. Hurry up and heat it up. Otherwise, get Li Ji’s Private Restaurant to send some over.”
“Uncle Huo, there’s no need to trouble yourself. Just let Auntie heat up the dishes for me.” Nangong Lengyu was used to this kind of feeling.
She had been living alone outside all year round. She knew best by personal experience. Every day, when she went back, she would face a cold, dark house. Yes, it could only be called a house, not a home.
How could a place without the most basic warmth and family members be considered a home?
The two elders of the Huo Family did treat her very, very well. She could feel that they regarded her as family.
“There are no steamed buns at home. You have a weak stomach. Auntie will cook some noodles for you.” Su Xiyin was already wearing an ap.r.o.n. She picked up a few light dishes and was about to put them back in the pan to stir-fry for a while.
“Okay,” Nangong Lengmo replied with a smile, her eyes clouded with a thin layer of mist.
Upon seeing the scene in front of her, Ling Sheng could not help but sigh. As long as her father was not around, the house would feel very warm and harmonious. Her grandpa would not randomly lose his temper, scold, and beat others either. How nice!
If her mother and father had not been separated back then, her father’s temper would not have become like this either. How nice would it be for the whole family to be happy and peaceful? If they could truly reconcile in the future, that would be great too.
Ling Sheng went to the training camp the next day. She carried the four humongous suitcases her mom and grandma had packed for her to stay in the dormitory. Thankfully, she had been arranged a single room. Otherwise, she would definitely be disliked if she shared a room with someone else.
Something came up in Zhou Zhou’s home, so he had applied for leave to go home during these two days by chance. She could only lug a suitcase out with Little Ye. The two weak little women dragged a suitcase out with great difficulty. She was so tired that her arms were about to break.
“Do you think my mom and grandma stuffed rocks inside?” Ling Sheng felt depressed.
She had no idea what was in the suitcase at all. When it was moved out of the house, the chauffeur was the one who had helped her to carry it down and stuff it in the trunk.
“Definitely not,” Little Ye still replied seriously. However, it really was very, very heavy. “Sister Sheng Sheng, make way. I’ll do it myself.”
Ling Sheng couldn’t possibly let her do it herself. Just as she was about to carry on moving the luggage on this side…
Not far away, a black van stopped at the male dormitory opposite the female dormitory.
When the car window opened, a chubby male face was revealed. His eyes were full of shrewdness. When he saw Ling Sheng and Little Ye moving their luggage, his lips curled up into a smile. His voice was a little shrill. “Chuhe, your opportunity has come.”
Opposite the fat man sat a man with his legs crossed. He was taking a nap on the car seat. Upon hearing his words, he removed his eye mask, revealing a handsome face. His brows were furrowed slightly. “Brother Yang, are we there yet?”
“We’re here, we’re here. Come over here quickly.” Yang Zhicheng dragged him over and pointed outside the window. “That’s Ling Sheng. Seize the opportunity well and woo her properly. A young lady who just entered the entertainment circle is very easily impressed. With your tactics and looks, it’ll definitely be easy for you to capture her. Brother thinks highly of you.”
Yu Chuhe’s eyes were profound as he looked at the girl in the near distance. The corners of his lips curled up in a confident smile. “Brother Yang, just watch. This kind of little girl will fall at my feet in minutes.”
Ling Sheng was currently the darling within the entertainment circle. Which ambitious male celebrity didn’t want to woo her? Just among the people he knew, there wasn’t any who didn’t want to work with her and take the opportunity to woo her. Having the backing of Best Actor Huo and Best Actress Nangong was already making countless people drool, all right?
He knew that his looks were considered top-notch in the entertainment circle. Ever since he had debuted at the age of 17, he suited both ancient and modern clothing. For eight consecutive years, he had been voted as number one of the four beautiful men in ancient costumes. He had countless fans and fangirls. Ever since he had debuted, as long as he made the move to pursue the person, no matter which tier the female celebrity was, he was able to capture all of them easily, without expending much effort.
In terms of acting skills, no matter what role it was, it was all at his fingertips. To him, acting was as simple as eating and sleeping. After debuting for eight years, he had won two Best Actor awards. Among actors of similar age, he had always been in the lead. Actors in the same period as him were still honing their acting skills, while he had already won various television and film awards.
Yang Zhicheng knew that he had the capability to be confident. After all, he was a promising young man who was riding high. However, he still had to caution him. “Be careful. I heard that Gu Shen is interested in her, but she didn’t even accept him. Control yourself. Don’t scare her away. Be careful not to fail miserably.”
Yu Chuhe found him annoying so he immediately opened the door and jumped out of the car. He muttered impatiently, “I got it.”
Upon seeing him leave, Yang Zhicheng frowned. He didn’t know if he could tackle that Ling Sheng successfully. If he really managed to win over Ling Sheng and the two of them got married, he would have to work hard for at least 50 years less.
What was the reason he had entered this entertainment circle? Wasn’t it all in pursuit of fame and fortune, to earn more money? As long as he became the son-in-law of Best Actor Huo and Best Actress Nangong, he could randomly choose any resources within the entertainment circle.
By then, he would probably turn his nose up at these resources in the entertainment circle and become a boss himself. Best Actor Huo only had one daughter, Ling Sheng. In the future, his studio and a.s.sets would all belong to Ling Sheng anyway.
Chuhe was a very ambitious person who was used to making girls happy too. He could coax them into obedience so that they listened to him about everything. They were incredibly loyal to him, obsessed with him, and were even willing to die for him.
There were tens of female celebrities he had wooed in the entertainment circle, even if there weren’t 100. From bottom-tier celebrities to superstars like Bai Xinyue, who was currently one of the four most popular female celebrities, all of them were desperately in love with him. After they had broken up, they were even tamed by him and kept their lips sealed about their past love.
Even people who were in the entertainment circle didn’t know much about his affairs, let alone his fans. His fans had even given him a nickname—called Bai Yueguang[2]. He was the ‘cleanest’ man in the entire entertainment circle. He was as pure as the moonlight so they were crazy about him and chased after him.
Actually, in a place like the entertainment circle, it was nearly impossible to find a clean person. Chuhe didn’t come from a good background. When he had just entered the entertainment circle, he had also been oppressed and bullied. However, he was good-looking. Few people in the entertainment circle could match his appearance in both ancient and modern attire, especially in ancient clothes. Describing him as orchids and jade trees[3] wasn’t sufficient to portray his beauty.
[1] Comes from the expression 好白菜被猪拱了 which translates to ‘all of the good cabbage crops have been ruined by pigs’. This means that something of high quality has been spoiled or taken by someone unfitting.
[2] Bai Yueguang directly translates to ‘White Moonlight’.
[3] These are symbols of young men with good conduct.
