Chapter 39: A Big Score
Jiang Su undoubtedly understood Huo Qingyan best among everyone.
Therefore, he knew how to make Huo Qingyan feel the most pain.
Huo Qingyan was precocious and could understand people’s hearts from a young age.
The title of heir to the Huo family made countless people curry favor with him, but only Jiang Su truly loved him as a person, a love that was ardent, pure, and unwavering.
Like a moth to a flame.
Huo Qingyan knew that even if the whole world betrayed him and left him, Jiang Su would not.
Therefore, he decided to marry Jiang Su.
But in just two short years, Jiang Su had initiated a divorce.
Before Jiang Su said that sentence, Huo Qingyan was still confident that Jiang Su would eventually regret it and come to beg him to get back together.
However, this sentence completely shattered his confidence.
The Jiang Su he thought would never leave him had truly decided to leave him.
Moreover, Jiang Su even felt that in the past two years of living with him, he hadn’t lived like a person…
Huo Qingyan felt that something had collapsed in his heart. He couldn’t see it, couldn’t touch it, but it was coming on strong, making his insides ache.
He supported himself on the table to stand up, the table swayed, and the water glass he had knocked over earlier fell to the ground, making a crisp “pa” sound.
Hearing the noise, a waiter knocked on the door: “Mr. Huo?”
Huo Qingyan walked out without a word, his steps steady, yet giving the impression that he might fall down at any moment.
The waiter worriedly asked, “Mr. Huo, are you alright?”
Huo Qingyan acted as if he hadn’t heard and continued to walk out in a daze.
…
The next morning, Jiang Su took a flight to Xu Mochun’s home.
He took the earliest flight, arriving at Xu Mochun’s home at ten o’clock in the morning. Xu Mochun had already gone to the farm.
Jiang Su went to the farm to find Xu Mochun.
From afar, Jiang Su saw a tall man in work overalls muttering by the pigpen wall.
It was Xu Mochun, whom he hadn’t seen in two years.
The piglets in the pigpen were making a lot of noise, so Xu Mochun didn’t notice him approaching.
“Doudou, you’re so round, and you still eat so much, you’ll probably be slaughtered before the New Year.”
“Nangua, move to the side a bit, Tiechui can’t eat anything!!”
“Xiaozhima, why are you hiding in the trough again, get out!!”
“Xiaohua, you need to eat more, don’t think that being thin and bony means you won’t be slaughtered, our Susu likes to eat ribs…”
Jiang Su almost couldn’t stop laughing as he listened to Xu Mochun naming each piglet, but he couldn’t laugh when he heard the last sentence.
“Da Xu.” If he didn’t speak, Xu Mochun would probably keep talking to the piglets all day.
Xu Mochun tilted his head in doubt: “I think I heard Susu calling me, am I starting to have auditory hallucinations at my young age?”
Jiang Su laughed and cried, raising his voice: “Xu Mochun!”
“Hey!”
Xu Mochun reflexively responded, turned his head, and saw Jiang Su. His eyes widened: “Su…Susu, why are you here?”
Jiang Su smiled and said, “I’m divorced, and I’m going to make a comeback now, I’m looking for you to be my agent.”
Xu Mochun still had a dumbfounded expression.
Jiang Su said again, “Are you willing?”
Xu Mochun finally reacted, his face full of excitement: “Willing! I couldn’t be more willing! Let’s go, let’s go now, there’s a flight to Qingyang at noon, I’ll book the tickets immediately.”
Xu Mochun’s execution ability was very strong. As soon as he said he would book tickets, he booked them, didn’t even go home, and dragged Jiang Su straight to the airport.
In the waiting room, after hearing Jiang Su’s recent situation, Xu Mochun called home before boarding the plane.
“Mom, tell Dad that I’m going to Qingyang to do something big, I’m not raising pigs anymore.”
As soon as the plane landed, Xu Mochun immediately posted a Moments update with his location set to Qingyang International Airport: “I, Xu Mochun, am back!”
After posting this Moments update, he looked mysteriously at Jiang Su: “What’s this?”
Jiang Su: “Moments.”
Xu Mochun shook his head: “This is a signal!”
Jiang Su raised an eyebrow, indicating he didn’t understand.
But soon, Jiang Su understood.
Less than a minute after this Moments update was posted, Xu Mochun’s phone rang.
Until they got back to Jiang Su’s house by car, Xu Mochun’s phone didn’t stop ringing.
They were all calls to book appointments for Jiang Su.
Speaking of which, Xu Mochun was quite famous in the circle because he was notoriously unconventional, and his reckless personality not only didn’t offend people but also made him very popular, and many people gave him face.
Jiang Su was his first artist; when he was managing Jiang Su, there were no appointments he wanted but couldn’t get.
After hearing Xu Mochun politely refuse another invitation, Jiang Su couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t there any that we can accept?”
Xu Mochun: “No.”
“It’s not the same as two years ago, I think…”
Before Jiang Su finished speaking, Xu Mochun interrupted him with a serious expression: “Susu, I think you have a wrong perception of your own position. You’re someone who won the Best Newcomer Award with your debut work. In terms of looks, figure, acting skills, and professional abilities, you’re not lacking in anything. Our first appearance after our comeback must be a big event to be worthy of you.”
He was exactly the same as the Xu Mochun he remembered.
When Xu Mochun first managed him, he said that he would become a top star in the entertainment industry sooner or later.
Xu Mochun, like Jiang Lichuan, was somewhat protective of those close to him, like he was wearing a hundred layers of filters, blindly praising them.
Jiang Su folded his arms and watched him leisurely: “Then tell me, what kind of big event is worthy of me?”
Xu Mochun snapped his fingers: “At least a top project from Huangsheng.”
He was referring to Huangsheng Media Group, a large company that occupies half of the entertainment industry and is also the company Cheng Xishi signed with.
Huangsheng’s projects were all sought after by top stars.
Jiang Su felt that Xu Mochun was boasting a little too much: “Are you hungry?”
“A little.” Xu Mochun touched his stomach, quickly reacting: “Don’t you believe me, think I’m bragging?”
Jiang Su nodded: “Yes! You should think about what to eat, I’ll make it for you.”
Xu Mochun didn’t bother to explain but asked in confusion: “You make it? You only know how to fry eggs, I don’t want to eat fried eggs, let me do it.”
Jiang Su pushed him out of the kitchen: “Wait.”
Xu Mochun watched Jiang Su skillfully cooking in the kitchen and suddenly realized: “You learned how to cook for Huo Qingyan?”
Jiang Su nodded calmly: “Yes.”
Xu Mochun’s anger rose: “Does he deserve it?”
Jiang Su chuckled: “It’s all in the past.”
Xu Mochun stopped talking and walked over silently: “Let me do it, your hands aren’t for cooking.”
