This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 669 - 455
(There’s another free Chapter with fewer words, let’s read it together.)
It’s easy to notice something unusual about people you interact with every day.
They used to call almost every day, and whenever there was time, they would meet up.
But these past two days, there seems to be no phone contact?
Shu Mei felt something was off.
Wu Mu glanced at her, thought about it, knowing Shu Mei would find out sooner or later and ask, so he simply said, "We broke up."
He kept a calm expression overall.
But Shu Mei was utterly stunned, she initially thought her brother would say Director Lin was busy or there was some argument.
But breaking up!?
She was taken aback and blurted out, "When did this happen? How did you break up!"
Wu Mu stretched out his finger and flicked her forehead lightly, "Mind your own business, not the boss’s."
Come on, how could she not care!
Weren’t things good at Cannes before, suddenly just broke up??
Shu Mei was full of astonishment, but seeing her brother not keen on discussing it anymore, she had to swallow her shock.
But she couldn’t help asking Shi Wu about it, "Brother Wu, did the boss and Director Lin really break up!?"
Shi Wu had heard more rumors than her and nodded slightly, "They broke up a few days ago."
"Who dumped whom??" Shu Mei was particularly concerned.
Though she felt it certainly wasn’t Director Lin dumping her brother, after all, if her brother were her boyfriend, she’d want to cling to him forever.
Yet, considering how responsible her brother was, breaking up with Director Lin didn’t seem right either.
"Director Lin’s family disapproved." Shi Wu shook his head slightly.
"Why didn’t they approve?" Shu Mei couldn’t understand, her brother is so excellent, yet his family disapproves?
What kind of family is that.
Her family was quite wealthy too, but she presumed if she told her dad she wanted to date her brother, her dad would definitely be delighted.
But Shi Wu didn’t know anymore details, he only heard a little gossip, nothing more specific.
He also didn’t quite understand why Director Lin’s family disapproved.
Having been Wu Mu’s manager for over half a year, he often found Wu Mu’s over-the-top antics exasperating, yet he couldn’t help but admit Wu Mu was rather unique among celebrities.
Even though his past and identity brought some negative impacts, if you truly understood him, his character, ability, and revenue-generating power more than offset those negatives.
Even if he didn’t understand it fully, he could at least speculate, "Her family is different from yours."
Shu Mei puffed her cheeks, angry, "I knew my brother shouldn’t have picked someone like this."
Choosing someone like her family would be much better, neither short of money nor freedom.
"Humph, what kind of family couldn’t match my brother!"
Shu Mei felt indignant for her brother, if her brother’s single status was announced, people like Mo Mo and Sun Yueqing wouldn’t even be mentioned, even those tsundere major fans she’s been bugging, like Yu Jing and Xu Zhi, wouldn’t be able to resist!
Thinking of how excellent her brother is, having finally fallen in love again after previous setbacks, only for another breakup now, she felt a pang of heartache.
There’s also a faint worry, after the last breakup, her brother was deeply troubled, would this affect him too?
If he evolves once more, becoming super-super-evolved, it’s still okay, but if...
After rehearsal at the B Station venue, Wu Mu came offstage for a drink, Shu Mei rushed over with a towel, "Brother, let me wipe your sweat!"
Wu Mu dodged her outstretched arm, "I can wipe it myself."
"Then I’ll pour you water!"
Wu Mu looked at her speechlessly, "If you have nothing to do, sit on the side. If you cause trouble, I’ll dock your pay."
Shu Mei smacked her lips, okay, it seems her brother is more open-minded than last time.
Shu Mei felt relieved and then her eyes started twinkling. "Brother, it’s almost New Year’s, where will you spend it? Why not come to my place for New Year, my family is quite lively."
Hmm, Wu Mu could finish his work at B Station by 9 PM on New Year’s Eve, leaving just enough time for the holiday.
Coincidentally, her hometown is in Su City, not too far away, he can hurry over after the performance to spend the holiday.
If it were before, there would be no need to think, he’d definitely be celebrating the New Year with Director Lin.
But now... hmm, Shu Mei is also a little assistant with dreams!
New Year’s...
Wu Mu spaced out for a moment, in the past during New Year’s, he would go back to his hometown and spend it with his father, but now that’s not an option.
He sighed inwardly and gently declined, "I’ll pass, have fun yourself, go home early, no need to wait till night."
Not only Shu Mei was talking about New Year’s, but his other friends were also mentioning it.
Like Sun Yueqing, who regularly called for video chats every few days.
Wu Mu was curious, seeing her background in the video, "Is this a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala?"
Sun Yueqing twirled around, showing off her Hanfu attire proudly, "Beautiful, right? I suggested it be designed like this."
Then she teased with gossip, "Guess who I just saw."
Wu Mu guessed, "Mo Mo, Lu Yao?"
Sun Yueqing was surprised, "How did you know?"
Wu Mu pointed with his eyes to the scene behind her.
Sun Yueqing followed his gaze and turned around.
She then saw a curious little head pop up behind her, "Sister Yueqing, what are you doing?"
This little head popped into view and met Wu Mu’s gaze across the screen, pausing for a moment, then exclaimed happily, "Xiao Wu?"
Wu Mu chuckled, "Ah Yao."
Yes, it’s Lu Yao.
Not only Lu Yao, but standing a bit further away was Mo Mo.
Mo Mo hadn’t expected they were in a video call at that moment, looking a bit shy, "Teacher Wu Mu."
Wu Mu smiled and waved, "Teacher Mo Mo, long time no see."
Yes, all three of his good friends were going to the Spring Festival Gala.
Not surprising, since they are all top figures in the circle.
And their gathering was partly due to Wu Mu’s matter.
Lu Yao’s curious little head occupied most of the screen, "Xiao Wu, Mo Mo and I were just asking Sister Yueqing if she knows where you went, weren’t you supposed to come too?"
Although not officially confirmed, rumors did circulate within the circle that Wu Mu would be appearing at the Spring Festival Gala.
Wu Mu smiled, "I didn’t go."
"Ah? We were hoping to see you, Xiao Wu." Lu Yao looked disappointed.
But her eyes soon lit up with hope, "After we finish recording, let’s go celebrate the New Year at your place. My parents went back to their hometown."
As soon as Lu Yao spoke, before Wu Mu could respond, Sun Yueqing and Mo Mo both let out a sigh.
Sun Yueqing looked at her with a peculiar expression, unable to resist reminding her, "Xiao Yao, Director Lin..."
Lu Yao looked up, seemingly puzzled, "Did Sister Qingyue’s parents also go back home for New Year? Isn’t she from Beijing?"
Sun Yueqing: "..."
Sun Yueqing gave Lu Yao a look as if staring at an idiot.
Wu Mu also chuckled, "Director Lin is in Beijing, but..."
He simply showed the surroundings around him to the three of them using his phone.
And then, they realized, "Did you go to perform at another TV station’s gala?"
"Yes, B Station’s Ba Nian Ji." (New Year’s event)
Although they didn’t really have any expectations, upon seeing Wu Mu not in Beijing, some disappointment crossed Sun Yueqing’s face, "We barely missed each other, I’m going back on the second day of the New Year, I was planning to visit you on the first day."
The sporadic gatherings and separations within the circle are often reflected in such instances, plans constantly get shuffled due to schedules and assignments.
Mo Mo was to fly back to Shanghai after the show, curious to inquire, "Teacher Wu Mu, will you be there until when? I’m flying back after the recording and will be free until the seventh day."
Wu Mu thought about it, "Probably won’t return so soon."
"Then..." Mo Mo hesitated, "I’ll contact you when I get back."
After discussing their schedules, the equally disappointed Lu Yao’s little head curiously moved closer again, "Xiao Wu, what are you performing at B Station? Singing?"
Sun Yueqing and Mo Mo also looked on curiously. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Wu Mu smiled, "Yes, singing, martial arts, comedy, magic."
All three on the other side of the phone paused in unison.
