The task originally planned to be completed in an hour was unexpectedly prolonged because of Ling Qianchen's sheer audacity.
After temporarily resolving the project, Yuan Meng was about to head home. But that guy found every excuse to take her out for a meal. Finally, they arrived at her doorstep.
After getting out of the car, that shameless guy even said he wanted a glass of water. Yuan Meng, who had endured him all the way, was naturally not happy. She simply kicked him out and finally got some peace.
It was just a discussion, but somehow, Yuan Meng always felt mentally and physically exhausted.
When she dragged her tired body back home, her expression froze.
"What's going on?"
The moment Yuan Meng opened the door, Yan Ke'er jumped up first and rushed forward excitedly.
"Mengmeng, you're back!"
Yuan Meng responded faintly and then cast her gaze on the woman behind Yan Ke'er, raising her eyebrows slightly.
"So, who is she? Why is she in my house?"
She valued her personal space very much. Only relatives, friends, and those she trusted were allowed to enter.
Yan Ke'er knew this very well, but she still deliberately brought a stranger into her territory. This really deserved a scolding!
Sensing the change in her aura, Yan Ke'er subconsciously took two steps back and gave a sheepish smile. "Mengmeng, don't be angry. I had my reasons for doing this."
Yuan Meng just smiled without saying a word.
What on earth could be the reason that made Yan Ke'er take the risk of being scolded and dance on the edge of her bottom - line?
Yan Ke'er felt like crying.
She had planned to inform Yuan Meng in advance, but the other party thought the time was urgent. Instead of communicating over the phone, it would be smoother to talk face - to - face.
That's why she...
"Mengmeng, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Considering that there was another person present, although Yuan Meng was a bit angry, she still had to give Yan Ke'er some face.
"Have a seat and talk."
As soon as her voice fell, Yan Ke'er immediately took the opportunity to hold her arm. "Okay!"
The warm and loving interaction between the two made the woman stare in surprise.
Although she had heard some rumors, she still felt a little envious after seeing it with her own eyes.
Yuan Meng wasn't used to dealing with strangers, and Yan Ke'er knew this very well. So when they stood still, she immediately introduced them to each other.
"Sister Yun, this is Yuan Meng I told you about. Mengmeng is the daughter of the Yuan family, but I can assure you that she is not like other daughters of noble families, arrogant and domineering!"
The woman called Sister Yun nodded to show her understanding. Then Yan Ke'er looked at Yuan Meng.
"Mengmeng, this is Sister Yun. She is the most famous gold - medal agent in the circle. She has made several movie and TV emperors and empresses popular. She will go with you for the reality show this time."
Hearing this, Yuan Meng was about to say that she didn't need an agent, but Yan Ke'er, who knew her well, interrupted her.
"Everyone else has an agent and an assistant. It's not convenient for me to go with you. Sister Yun is the most suitable candidate."
Guessing what Yan Ke'er was worried about, Yuan Meng finally relented.
"Got it."
Although Yuan Meng didn't say much, the aura she exuded still shocked Sister Yun faintly.
To be honest, among the artists she had managed over the years, even those who were not extremely popular or had excellent acting skills didn't give her as much shock as the girl in front of her.
She was really suitable for this circle.
While Sister Yun was sizing her up secretly, Yuan Meng was also sizing up Sister Yun out of the corner of her eye. Sensing that Sister Yun was not a dangerous person, she relaxed a little.
"Ke'er has told you about my situation, right?"
Yuan Meng suddenly asked. Sister Yun subconsciously sat up straight and nodded. "Yes."
"I see. But I think there's one thing I should tell you."
After all, the person was introduced by Yan Ke'er, so Yuan Meng didn't want to put on airs. She tried to speak calmly about how she used to be Mrs. Ling and divorced Ling Qianchen for some reasons.
Sister Yun had already heard something about this when she agreed to be Yuan Meng's agent, so she didn't react much.
After revealing some things, Yuan Meng wanted to know more about her future partner. Just as she was about to ask, Sister Yun was very understanding and spoke first.
"My name is He Yun. I've managed two or three movie and TV emperors and empresses. Due to some personal reasons, I'm currently running my own studio."
Yuan Meng's expression remained calm, and her guard against Sister Yun gradually loosened.
Although she still didn't completely trust her, at least she believed that Yan Ke'er had good judgment.
To find out if Sister Yun was really calm or just pretending, she decided -
"Maybe you don't know that I have another identity."
As soon as she said this, Yan Ke'er almost held her breath nervously, and the panic in her eyes was hard to hide.
Sister Yun also noticed it, but...
"If you think it's private, you don't have to tell me."
"No," Yuan Meng shook her head. "I think it might be better to tell you."
"Mengmeng, are you sure?"
Realizing that she was serious, Yan Ke'er couldn't sit still anymore.
You know, once this other identity was revealed, regardless of whether Sister Yun was really calm or not, if she had misjudged the person, then...
No, she absolutely couldn't let Mengmeng act recklessly!
Just as Yan Ke'er was firm in her decision, Yuan Meng beside her directly revealed this last secret.
"I'm Ai Yue."
Yan Ke'er was shocked, and Sister Yun was slightly stunned.
"Did you say... who are you again?"
It took Sister Yun a long time to finally find her voice.
Although her appearance seemed calm, her heart was actually in turmoil.
Yuan Meng remained silent.
Because she knew that Sister Yun had already guessed.
Sure enough, Sister Yun asked tremulously again, "Are you the famous hacker Ai Yue recently?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god!"
Sister Yun got excited and completely lost her previous calm image.
"I finally saw the living Ai Yue!"
Yuan Meng remained calm, while Yan Ke'er was too shocked to describe her feelings at the moment.
So, was it just a false alarm?
In the next few minutes, Sister Yun rambled on, saying that Ai Yue was the motivation that inspired her to move forward and the idol she would never betray in her life.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, every word she said came from the bottom of her heart.
Maybe realizing that she was too excited, Sister Yun gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I seem to be a bit chatty..."
"It's okay."
Sister Yun's eyes lit up. "Mengmeng, don't worry. I'll definitely plan a good path for you and ensure that you'll become a big star in the circle!"
If it were someone else, she wouldn't have made such a promise easily. But since the other person was her most admired idol, she couldn't help it.
The more Sister Yun talked, the more excited she became. But Yuan Meng cut her off with a single sentence.
"No need. You can focus on other artists."
"...Why?"
"Because I just want to have some fun. I haven't considered re - entering the circle."
Since Yuan Meng had said so, although Sister Yun felt it was a pity, she still chose to respect Yuan Meng's decision.
The shooting of the program was scheduled for the next morning. When Yuan Yibai personally sent Yuan Meng to the airport, the fans who had already received the news immediately raised their support signs and screamed continuously.
"Mengmeng, look here, look here!"
"Yuan Yibai, you should eat more so that you can protect our Mengmeng well!"
Among Yuan Meng's fans, there were old fans and, of course, new ones.
The old fans knew the relationship between Yuan Yibai and Yuan Meng, but the new ones didn't.
Sure enough, two or three new fans shouted at Yuan Meng, asking her to forget about that scumbag Ling and throw herself into the arms of the handsome, tall, and rich Yuan Yibai.
Some people wanted to ship them as a couple, while others were curious. Since Yuan Yibai and Yuan Meng had the same surname, were they long - lost siblings?
Yuan Meng didn't explain much about these things, and Yuan Yibai deliberately left some room for the fans' imagination.
