The promised triple chapters update!
Jian Xingsui was a little confused.
But Fu Jinxiao looked very mysterious, and he was too embarrassed to ask more questions. He decided to roll with whatever would happen and mull over the termination of his contract instead. Suddenly, the car braked abruptly, which brought Jian Xingsui back to his senses and stabilized his mind.
Fu Jinxiao, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him: “What are you thinking about?”
Jian Xingsui immediately turned around and saw Actor Fu looking at him, so he replied, “I’m thinking… about my previous agency.”
“Your contract termination is a thing of the past.” Fu Jinxiao sat beside him. The man had been looking at the scripts and documents in his hand since just now, but he now put down his things to look at Jian Xingsui in the eyes instead, “No matter how your past is, if you keep living in the pain of the past and don’t put your eyes on the front, you will only have a hard time living in the present, understand?”
Jian Xingsui understood, afraid that he would be misunderstood, he explained himself, “I know. I’m just thinking, since I’ve terminated the contract with them, what will I do next.”
Fu Jinxiao asked seriously, “Do you want to quit the circle?”
Jian Xingsui didn’t know what to say. He used to love music and wanted to make music full-time. But after splashing himself in the shallow parts of the entertainment industry, he realized that it’s hard to live here, and that he might have to give up.
But after changing so many things in this new life… he felt the flap of the butterfly wings. Things are so different now. There’s a slim chance that he could do music for his living now.
Looking up at Fu Jinxiao, in front of this person, Jian Xingsui never wanted to say anything against his will, nor did he want to lie. Although they didn’t have a deep friendship, there was always subconscious trust in his heart.
“Actually, I don’t want to quit the circle.” Jian Xingsui told the truth, “I’m just afraid that I can’t do well.”
The corners of Fu Jinxiao’s lips curled into a smile, “No one is born capable of doing anything well. A butterfly doesn’t know it can fly until it breaks out of its cocoon, and a tortoise doesn’t know it can win until it races against a rabbit. Even me, I was also a nobody when I first stepped into this circle.”
Listening to his voice, Jian Xingsui was full of thoughts.
The boy’s eyes were dark, and when he looked at Fu Jinxiao, his whole body leaned forward a little. His fair skin was like clear milk, and his whole body exuded a slight hint of sweetness. When he looked at him seriously, he was cute and adorable.
It seemed that Jian Xingsui still hadn’t figured it out. Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “I want to tell you: don’t be afraid of difficulties, but have the courage to try and conquer suffering. But you keep staring at me like this… What do you mean by looking at me?”
Their distance in the car was not too far.
Fu Jinxiao sat lazily, his handsome eyebrows and eyes tinged with a bit of playfulness. Exuding the charm of a mature man, he said, “Could it be that you are ready to conquer me? Or maybe… be conquered by me instead?”
“!!!”
Jian Xingsui suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly said as he blushed furiously, “No, no, no no no no, I, I wouldn’t dare.”
Fu Jinxiao gave a “tsk”, looking a little regretful, “It’s not a good thing to be too timid sometimes. I think you should be braver.”
Jian Xingsui’s ears were so red that he didn’t even dare to ask what he needed to be brave for. But he didn’t dare to disobey the lesson of his senior, so nodded falteringly: “I… I’ll try to be… braver…”
Fu Jinxiao gave him a mysterious, charming smile. Jian Xingsui could only nod with a blank look on his face.
Uncle driver who overheard everything: “…”
‘Fu-ge, can you be a human being for once?’
‘I never knew that you love to bully your juniors like this!’
Having been Fu Jinxiao’s driver for many years, he also understood Actor Fu’s character. There were many temptations in the circle. His employer had a great reputation and high power. It’s no surprise he was very sought after, but Fu Jinxiao had never let anyone get close to him. He was very cold and without a weakness, all his boundaries were clearly drawn.
But now…
The driver felt as if he had seen a scene where a big bad wolf was bullying a little white rabbit.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Shen family’s manor.
As soon as they enter the door, they can smell all sorts of appetizing aromas.  They knew that the meal must be exquisite.
There were two women sitting on the sofa in the living room, happily chatting. Xu Enzhen was a kind of gentle beauty, while the lady opposite looked very fashionable and glamorous, with dyed blonde hair, exquisite makeup, and countless jewelry on her body.
Jian Xingsui entered the door and called out respectfully: “Mom.”
Seeing her youngest’s return, Xu Enzhen immediately got up and greeted him: “Suisui is back. Ah, you’re here too, Jinxiao. You two came back together?”
Fu Jinxiao said politely, “Hello, Auntie, excuse me.”
Xu Enzhen hurriedly said, “Don’t bother, don’t bother, what’s the matter… Oh, what is this? You bring us a gift?”
Fu Jinxiao had a polite smile on his lips, “It’s just a little thought of mine.”
After Xu Enzhen opened it, she found that it was a premium silkworm thread that she had been looking for a long time. She couldn’t hold down her smile, “Ah, this child, you really put your heart into your gifts. How do you know that I always want this?”
Fu Jinxiao was very humble, “I heard you mentioned it last time, and it happened that my friend had it, so I bought it for you.”
Xu Enzhen was very happy.
It’s no wonder that the industry had such a high opinion of Fu Jinxiao. The eldest son of the Fu family was smooth and good at making connections. Although this silkworm thread was not very expensive, it was very difficult to find. Generally, it was difficult to get it without the proper connections. While it’s true that as the Madam of the Shen family, she could get this with her husband’s name, but getting it easily like this was very pleasing. Fu Jinxiao was very good at giving gifts, and the scale was always just right.
This was also why Xu Enzhen was optimistic about this prospective son-in-law. She thought, if she could find such a good candidate this early, she wouldn’t worry much.
Xu Enzhen pulled Jian Xingsui and said, “Thank you so much for tonight, Jinxiao. Did Suisui bother you today?”
Fu Jinxiao continued to be an exemplary guest, “Auntie, you are too kind. Suisui could never be a problem for me.”
Xu Enzhen was even happier, “That’s really kind of you.”
Jian Xingsui always felt that with the way his Mother treated Fu Jinxiao… there’s some deep meaning behind it. He didn’t know what, though.
They all walked to the sofa, and the stylishly dressed woman also stood up, her eyes fell on Jian Xingsui, and she asked, “You are…”
Jian Xingsui was a little nervous, bent down, and bowed: “Hello Auntie, I’m Jian Xingsui.”
Facing this glamorous but distant-looking woman, he couldn’t help but to feel insecure. And part of the reason was that she was also Fu Jinxiao’s mother.
After the woman was silent for a while, she suddenly came over and held Jian Xingsui’s hand enthusiastically and said, “Hi, hello, I’m Li Na1hmm Idk if she’s actually from abroad or not, but considering her blonde hair is dyed, I think not. So Li Na it is. If she’s a westerner, I would use Lena / Lina instead., and I’m your mother’s good friend. You call me Mo–”
Fu Jinxiao coughed lightly, cutting his mother off.
Li Na understood what her son meant, so she just smiled and changed her words, “-I mean, you can call me Aunt Lili!”
Jian Xingsui was a little confused at first, but felt that he might have misheard, so he obediently responded, and called out in a clear pronunciation, “Aunt Lili.”
Li Na looked at the well-behaved and sensible child in front of her, and her heart instantly melted.
She has always wanted a soft, well-behaved, and cute child, but life was often unsatisfactory. She gave birth to Fu Jinxiao. He was the polar opposite of what she wanted.
“Suisui…” Lili held his hand, “I’ve heard about you. I heard of your previous mistreatment, but don’t don’t worry, those things will never happen again in the future. The men in my family won’t let it. They can and will eradicate all your future enem– I mean, your troubles. You can rest assured.”
Jian Xingsui: “Huh?”
Why did he feel that there’s something wrong in her statement?
Xu Enzhen also echoed at her side, “Don’t worry, the Shen family also will eradicate all your troubles.”
Jian Xingsui: “???”
Let’s just pretend he heard nothing important.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Fu Jinxiao smiled. He was keen to let his mother communicate with Jian Xingsui, leisurely watching it happen.
Jian Xingsui was dragged by Lili into discussing many topics, and finally got a little scared. He subconsciously turned his eyes to Fu Jinxiao for help, and Actor Fu restrained his desire to bully this cute little rabbit after receiving that pitiful gaze. He said to Xu Enzhen, “Auntie, I smell the aroma of a delicious chicken soup, did you cook by yourself today?”
Xu Enzhen quickly responded: “Yes, yes, I almost forgot that! Since everyone is here, let’s have dinner first.”
Jian Xingsui asked, “What about Dage and Father?”
“It’s common for them to work overtime.” Xu Enzhen waved her hand dismissively, “There’s no need to wait.”
Jian Xingsui nodded. Finally, he could escape from Li Na’s clutch.
1hmm Idk if she’s actually from abroad or not, but considering her blonde hair is dyed, I think not. So Li Na it is. If she’s a westerner, I would use Lena / Lina instead.
