"Auntie insisted on marrying my cousin’s father despite everything, and even fell out with everyone in the family. Grandpa was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-daughter relationship," Jiang Yisheng said slowly.

"My dad said that when Auntie got married, neither grandpa nor grandma attended the wedding. It wasn’t until the news of Auntie’s death in childbirth reached the US that they hurried to the capital. As soon as Grandpa arrived, he beat up my cousin’s father, took care of Auntie’s affairs, and then they took her ashes and my cousin back to the US. My cousin grew up in the US and seldom returned to the capital each year."

"So, Mei’s mother died in childbirth?" Ye Jiuliang wanted confirmation once again.

Jiang Yisheng nodded, "That’s what Grandma said."

Ye Jiuliang’s eyes briefly stilled, it seemed that the Jiang family did not investigate the reason behind Mei’s mother’s death.

Li Shaohui and the others really knew when to take the opportunity, using childbirth as a cover. Such tactics were truly despicable.

If it wasn’t for them, Mei wouldn’t have lost his mother from a young age.

She narrowed her eyes, the cold light flickering in their depths.

"Jiuliang, what’s wrong?" Jiang Yisheng was clueless, not understanding why she suddenly asked him this.

Ye Jiuliang shook her head and reached for the car keys on the table. "I’m going out for a bit. I won’t be back for lunch."

Jiang Yisheng scratched his head, looking dazed and naive, undoubtedly a simpleton.

Ji Mingqian collapsed onto the sofa, just as he was about to close his eyes for some rest, his phone started to buzz.

It was a call from Chen Xin.

He pressed the answer button, and a lively voice came through.

"Big BOSS, are you going to attend the movie promotion? If so, I’ll arrange the schedule for you."

"I’m not going," Ji Mingqian refused flatly.

Chen Xin, who had seen her arrangements declined many times, naturally changed the subject, "Big BOSS, Feng Group’s shooting is the day after tomorrow, 10 AM. Don’t forget the time."

"The day after tomorrow?" Ji Mingqian had almost forgotten about that, he lifted his eyelids and glanced across the room.

If he wasn’t mistaken, both he and Wen Rang were the spokespersons, so their shooting times should be the same, right?

"Jiang Yisheng, when is your Feng Group shooting?"

Jiang Yisheng wasn’t expecting him to suddenly ask about this. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "The day after tomorrow, I believe."

Not covering the phone, Jiang Yisheng’s voice came through, and on the other side, Chen Xin bounced up from the sofa.

"Big BOSS, are you together with my male god right now?" she asked, holding back her excitement.

Ji Mingqian retracted his gaze and responded with a lazy hum.

"Ah—" Chen Xin screamed excitedly, "My god, Big BOSS, how, how, how are you together with my male god? Had you also been conquered by my male god’s gorgeous looks?"

"Big BOSS, my male god is so gentle. Be nice to him, don’t scare my male god, also..."

Sensing she was about to ramble on, Ji Mingqian decisively cut her off, "Other than the Feng Group spokesperson shoot, don’t arrange anything else for me. I’m taking a long break."

After saying that, he "cruelly" ended the call.

Women are terrifying.

Jiang Yisheng looked up at him, "Don’t you have to do promotions for your new movie?"

Ji Mingqian crossed his legs, "I never participate in those promotions."

"Are you going on a trip?" Jiang Yisheng laughed, seeing his carefree attitude.

It seemed there was someone lazier than him in the entertainment industry, which meant Wen Rang could no longer be called the laziest artist.

Whenever he took a long break, he would travel, impulsively deciding where to go and staying there for a few days.
