Chapter 291 Send Her to the Police Station
In just a few days, she indeed became whiter and healthier, and Manman felt her eyes brightened when she saw her.
"Not bad. Although his figure is about the same as before, he looks a little stronger than before."
Jiang Mubai had just come back from running outside. She was sweating profusely and she didn't dare to sit down. She just stood there panting.
"Have you finalized the endorsement? Are you coming to pick me up to sign the contract today?"
"Well, they will transfer the money to your account immediately after signing. No wonder so many people want to be stars. The money you make from an endorsement is something that ordinary people will never be able to earn in their entire lifetime."
"I'm not a star for the money, I'm a star because I love my life. Don't think I'm so tacky, don't be envious. After all this time, shouldn't I give you a raise? Then everyone should get half of what they paid before."
"Thank you, boss. You are so generous!"
"Thank you, Sister Mu Bai. I will be devoted to you and take good care of you."
"How nice! I took your words to heart."
"I'm telling you something serious."
"Speak, it's not like I wasn't listening."
"I'm planning to recruit some more people to the studio. Is it reasonable for a popular first-line star's studio team to have only four or five people, including assistants, to get out?"
Jiang Mubai nodded, thinking that what Manman said made sense. "Okay then, I'll leave this matter to you. You know my standards for hiring people. Don't hire any random people. It'll make me upset."
"Don't worry about me doing the job. I won't hire any more people for you. They are all useful."
"What time do you want to sign the contract? I think we should have enough time. I'm planning to go upstairs and take a shower before going."
"Go and take a shower. You'll have plenty of time."
Everything went well for Jiang Mubai, and Cheng Yunchuan was no longer worried about that business. He joined the crew to shoot a new movie a few days ago. Jiang Mubai knew about this, so he called to tell him.
On the phone, Jiang Mubai told him to take good care of himself, and promised him that she would personally pick him up at the airport when he returned from the filming.
He has been staying at Qin Yuanqing's house for several days in a row, and this abnormality was discovered by Qin Hongyuan.
"Are you hiding something from us? I noticed that you didn't go to work and stayed at home the whole time."
Qin Yuanqing had promised her mother not to tell anyone about her affairs, so when she heard Qin Hongyuan ask her this, she didn't know how to answer. In the end, it was Qin's mother who stepped out and smoothed things over.
"Really? You complained every day that the child was not at home, and now that he is back to accompany you, you are not happy about it. You are really hard to please."
Qin Hongyuan was embarrassed by what his mother said, "I am worried about his job. Even though he runs his own company and is the boss, I still have to go to the company to take a look."
"Dad, don't worry, there's nothing going on at the company. I'm here to accompany you two now that I'm free. When things get busy later, you won't be able to find me."
"Okay, I feel relieved to hear you say that."
The father and son came for a walk in the yard, and while Qin's mother was away, Qin Hongyuan suddenly became serious.
"Are you and your mother hiding something from me? Is it about the company or something else?"
Qin Yuanqing was surprised when he heard this. He thought he and his mother had kept the matter secret, but he didn't expect that Qin Hongyuan saw through it.
Qin Yuanqing was still stubborn until now. "Nothing happened. You think too much. What could my mother and I hide from you?"
Qin Hongyuan sighed, "I was just guessing, but seeing your reaction just now, I realized that you guys really are hiding something from me. If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be asking you."
Qin Yuanqing fell silent, and for a moment he wanted to tell Qin Hongyuan that he wanted Qin's mother to live a happier life in this last period of freedom.
But Qin's mother repeatedly told him not to tell anyone, for she was afraid that Qin Hongyuan would not be able to accept it and would worry about his health.
Seeing Qin Yuanqing not speaking, Qin Hongyuan had a vague guess in his heart, "Is it related to your mother? Your mother doesn't allow you to speak, right?"
"Why did you hide it from me? Wouldn't it be one more person to help if one more person knew? Or is it because this matter is irreversible so you kept it from me and left me without even the right and qualification to know the truth?"
Qin Yuanqing couldn't stand Qin Hongyuan's questioning. Just when he opened his mouth to speak, Qin's mother's voice sounded behind him.
"Why are you standing here? Are you done with your walk?"
Qin Yuanqing's eyes dimmed. He knew that he would never have the chance to say it again after he failed to do so this time. Qin Hongyuan also knew the same thing, but it was not convenient for them to say it since Qin's mother was still here.
"Why are you silent since I arrived? Did you say something behind my back just now?"
Qin's mother glanced at Qin Yuanqing, and Qin Yuanqing felt ashamed. He knew that Qin's mother said these words to remind him of what he had promised, and he was ashamed that he almost failed to keep the secret just now.
"No, I was just talking to my son about business matters."
"That's fine. Our family of three hasn't taken a walk like this for a long time. Please accompany me for a walk. I remember that we haven't taken a walk like this since Yuan Qing was in junior high school. He was rebellious at that time and refused to do anything I asked him to do. It really pissed me off."
Mother Qin took one of them by the arm and led them forward.
Qin Yuanqing felt very uncomfortable listening to his mother's nagging, but he couldn't show it in case Qin Hongyuan found out.
He has this impulse now. He really wants to call Cheng Yunchuan and ask him if he can help Qin's mother to atone for her sins. He really can't bear to see his parents have to endure this at their old age. At their age, they should be enjoying their retirement life at home. He doesn't know why it turned out like this.
When the company went bankrupt, he thought it would be nice for his family to be together in peace. Although they were not as rich as before, they were all still alive, which was more valuable than money.
But why couldn't even this satisfy him? Qin Yuanqing had never felt so desperate in the past twenty years of his life.
The family of three finally came back from their walk. Qin's mother sent Qin Hongyuan upstairs to wash up. Qin Hongyuan naturally knew all this and he did not refuse and went straight upstairs.
Hearing the sound of the room closing, Qin's mother felt relieved and started talking to Qin Yuanqing.
"Didn't you almost confess to your dad just now? Didn't you promise me not to tell? This is the last thing I ask of you. Please help me not to tell your dad, okay?"
"Mom, have you ever thought about what my dad will do after you leave? Won't he be curious and ask about your whereabouts?"
"I don't care about that. I just want to leave a good memory for your dad. I don't want your dad to look so sad when I recall him. Although your dad did a lot of wrong things, he was very good to me when we were husband and wife. I was young and fell in love with him at first sight. I dared to do anything for him. If it weren't for this Cheng... Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's meaningless now."
"Promise me that you will move back home after I leave, and you will take good care of your dad. Your dad's health is not as good as before, so you have to pay attention. And you too, you have to take good care of yourself. You must take care of yourself when mom is not around."
Qin Yuanqing could no longer hold back her tears, and they kept falling like crazy.
"Don't cry. You're already this old. Don't let your mother worry about you. The family will depend on you in the future."
