Chapter 40.2
Anran came out of the gymnasium, and instead of going back to Jian familys house immediately, he met with his agent. As soon as he got in the car, his agents face was not very good. She asked him instead of greeting him, Have you seen whats happening on Weibo? Your fans are locked in a fandom war against Jian Xingsuis. The situation is not looking good.
Anrans manager was a woman in her 30s, and people in the industry call her Li-jie.
Li-jie was a chubby woman, she usually was very polite to Anran. However, today she was burdened by this incident, so she was more tired-looking. She sighed as she said, Not long ago, Young Master Jian1shes referring to Jian Zhi. asked me to contact Jian Xingsui and his agency. He spent one million yuan to make him withdraw from the competition. His agency agreed on the deal, and they received the money. But Jian Xingsui didnt withdraw from the competition. Up to now, the director has suppressed his votes and failed to let him make his debut. But now that this voting manipulation issue has surfaced his influence on Weibo is just getting bigger.
After hearing this, Anran was a little worried, Then what should I do? Li-jie, its none of my business!
Li-jie gave him a blank look, Are you sure its none of your business?
Theres a reason why Anrans fans became rabid like that. Naturally, he had some level of influence on their behavior.
Anran always followed the fairy boy type that his fans had designated for him. He often shared his day-to-day life with his fans. Even if his fans did some outrageous things, Anran would turn a blind eye, or just scold them lightly. Its one thing to not involve himself with his fans, but its a whole different thing if he always tried to sway his fans to do something. If it wasnt because of his lax control on his fans, how could his fans grow to be so lawless?
Anran hesitated and said, Li-jie, its no ones business at this point. Its time to pursue responsibility. You have to think of a way, and you cant let them say that I am someone who is mired in nepotism!
Li-jie sighed, The biggest problem now is Jian Xingsui. In fact, as long as his limelight passes, this matter naturally will be buried. The netizens have a memory of a goldfish, they wont remember this controversy for long. Dont worry, I will put pressure on his agency tomorrow. They cant just eat that one million without giving us a benefit in return!
Anran nodded reassuringly after hearing this.
In fact,he himself was very aggrieved and didnt want to talk about anything else. No matter how bad the second half of his previous life was, at least he debuted as the center in this show. Although Shen Xingchen also participated at that time, this young master retired midway through the first two stages because he had a quarrel with his roommate. But in this life, he got along well with his roommates and Actor Fu, so he won the center position instead.
Everything had changed so drastically.
Why on earth did Shen Xingchen get along so well with Jian Xingsui? Thanks to that, his glory was stolen. Back then, when he won the first position, who would dare to question him making unscrupulous deals to get his position?
Jian Xingsui, Jian Xingsui again, how come he always spoils his achievement
Anran sat and thought for a long time. He finally made up his mind when he got out of the car. He decisively dialed Zhang Xiangyangs number. Without waiting for too long, he heard the middle-aged mans voice, Hello, is this Ranran?
Anran smiled, and said softly, Father.
Although he had already returned to the Jiang family, he still called Zhangs couple that way in private.
Hearing this familiar call, Zhang Xiangyang felt hot in his heart: Ranran, your Mother and I saw that successfully debuted in that idol group. Congratulations, I know your hard work wouldnt be in vain. But your Mother and I are very busy with something else, so we can go watch you in person during that final stage.
Anran kept using his obedient child tone, Its okay, I know the difficulties of Mom and Dad.
Zhang Xiangyang then heaved a sigh of relief.
But unexpectedly, Anran changed the subject and said, Dad, there is something I want to ask you.
Zhang Xiangyang said, Whats the matter?
Anran finally found a chance to ask, There was one time when the program crew asked us to fill in personal data Jian Xingsui asked me about your blood type. I took a peek, and found out that his blood type is B. And I knew that both Moms and your bloodtype is A. With that kind of difference how could there be a blood relationship between you and him?
Zhang Xiangyang was stopped by this question. It would be better to say that at this moment, his blood was frozen, as if it had coagulated. In fact, as early as two days ago, when Jian Xingsui proposed to do the paternity test, he had thought that this matter might be exposed one day. He didnt expect that this moment would come so early.
There was already a thin layer of sweat on Zhang Xiangyangs head, he hesitated and said, Ranran, listen to my explanation, I
But Anran cut his explanation, Mom and Dad, I believe in you. There should be some misunderstanding. I know that you two are good people, you have raised me all these years. I think you need to solve and deal with Jian Xingsui by yourself. However, Suisuis elimination this time has hit him hard. I think, if possible, you two can take him back to your hometown and develop there. I remember that the rent there is much cheaper than here. You can open up a store or something to support your livelihood. It should be pretty stable, no?
Zhang Xiangyang didnt react for a while.
He slowed down and said, Ranran, what do you mean? You havent told Jian Xingsui our bloodtype yet?
Anran smoothly lied as he smiled, Nope. I think this is something you two should discuss with him. So I didnt make any claims.
Zhang Xiangyang was relieved and felt short of breath at the same time, so he could only say, I see I understand, we will consider your suggestion, we will consider it
With that, Anran just hung up his phone.
He was clever enough to have a vague guess about the truth of the matter. And this was precisely why he should nip the problem in the bud. If this matter was found out by the authorities and the Zhang couple ended up in prison, that was fine. What was not fine was that, there was a glimmer of chance that Jian Xingsuis biological family might be a powerful one.
Even as a grassroot2someone without a relevant background. Grassroots are you can think of it like duckweed, a floating plant with thin, weak roots. contestant, that filthy thing could shake his power in the entertainment industry. If he actually had a powerful background that was just giving wings to a tiger3giving even more power to already powerful people.. He would choke Anrans career into nothingness.
He got this once-in-a-lifetime chance of being reborn. He didnt want to waste this precious chance to become Jian Xingsuis stepping stone!
He would make sure all threats were exterminated.
Well, dead people wouldnt be able to do anything, would they?
Meanwhile, in the Shen familys mansion
This was Jian Xingsuis first time stepping inside the Shen familys home. He was floored with the grandeur of the whole thing. Compared to the Jian familys house, it was still comparing heaven and the earth.
Shen Xingchen was still bemoaning as he rubbed his stomach, Mom, Im really hungry, let the Auntie prepare some food!
Xu Enzhen would look at Jian Xingsui distractedly from time to time as she walked.
For some reason, she always has an inexplicable sense of closeness to this child. When she learned that he had been wronged and failed to make his debut, it made her recall that day when she found him crying silently on the stairway. That child looked so helpless, and could only cry on his lonesome. He even had to push himself to wipe his tears and tidy up, more likely because he had no-one to share his troubles.
He was just a twenty year old child, and yet, he had to bear his burden alone. As a mother, even if Jian Xingsui was not of her own blood, she felt sorry and wanted to coddle him.
You just know how to eat, Xu Enzhen glared at his son, then turned his head to Jian Xingsui with a gentle smile, How about you, Xingsui, are you hungry?
Jian Xingsui didnt expect Mrs. Shen to ask him, so he hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Shen Xingchen yelled like a brat he actually was, Im hungry too, Im hungry too!
Xu Enzhen said, As if you can starve to death. Be patient for a moment, would you?
Jian Xingsui dared not speak at the side, but Xu Enzhen approached him very intimately after getting out of the car. Beside him, the older lady said in a gentle voice, Xingsui, what do you want to eat? Auntie will cook it for you.
Jian Xingsui was flattered, and answered in a shy voice, It doesnt matter, I can eat anything.
Xu Enzhen shook her head in disapproval, Its okay, you can tell Auntie what you want. You just finished a close-door training in that venue for three months. I know you are tired, and I also know that you havent eaten much since yesterday. You can go wash up first, and leave everything else to Auntie. I will arrange it.
Listening to the gentle and kind voice from Mrs. Shen, Jian Xingsui felt hot and warm in his heart. It was the first time he visited a friends house as a guest, and he was really afraid that he would offend his friends family member. It made him overcautious and nervous. But Xu Enzhen was so kind to him, so he became braver and answered, Thank you, Auntie.
No need to be polite to me, Xu Enzhen answered.
Jian Xingsui nodded.
The two had unusual harmonious feelings between them, like a picture-perfect example of a loving mother and her filial son. Shen Xingchen, who was standing behind them, stared in disbelief. He seemed dissatisfied but was not angry. He was just acting like a spoiled brat, Moooommm, Ive been enduring my starving stomach for several! Hours! Why can my younger brother get food, while me, your blood-related, very lovely son, cannot?
Xu Enzhen squinted and glanced at her bear son4naughty child., What can you not eat?
Shen Xingchen wailed dramatically, Are you actually my mother? Am I actually the child you picked up by the roadside? It seems like Jian Xingsui is your biological son instead!
