Chapter 953: Sooner or Later, I’ll Have Gu Yang Call Me Cousin-in-law!

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ruan Chu had faced many challenges in her career, including being handed checks by mothers of rich second-generation fans at overseas banquets, but this was the first time she encountered such a situation. She didn’t know how to react.

“Chuchu, this is my mother,” Ji Linbai introduced helplessly.

His parents were separated most of the time. His father had been the director of Jin City Psychiatric Hospital for many years, while his mother had been living in the capital.

Ji Linbai had initially stayed in Jin City with Ji Minghui, but ever since he met Gu Jin, he had been hanging out with his boss and rarely stayed by his parents’ side. He didn’t even know when his mother had developed a hobby of chasing celebrities.

Ruan Chu said politely, “Hello, Mrs. Ji. Are you a fan of mine too?”

Mrs. Ji nodded elegantly. “I am just an ordinary career fan. When I was young, I had the dream of making a name for myself in the entertainment industry and standing on the stage.”

“However, due to certain reasons, I couldn’t realize that dream. After seeing you stand up against the scumbag’s mistress back then, stop being in love, and start focusing on your career, I was deeply touched. I sincerely hope your career continues to thrive.”

Gu Yang saw faint nostalgia and regret in Mrs. Ji’s eyes.

Some people chase after celebrities, but in reality, they are chasing after themselves, chasing after their ideal selves. They watch as others climb to the peak they once wanted to reach, helping them see the scenery they once wanted to see and become the person they once wanted to become. This is a form of spiritual sustenance.

Ruan Chu was also touched. “Thank you. I’ll keep working hard.”

Mrs. Ji smiled and nodded.

Ji Linbai had never thought that his family would be an obstacle between him and Ruan Chu, but now, he had an ominous feeling.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Linbai again. “Bai.”

Ruan Chu couldn’t help but want to laugh at the familiar nickname.

Ji Linbai was also speechless. “Mom, could you please change the way you address me?”

With so many familiar faces around, he wanted to save face.

It wasn’t that Mrs. Ji couldn’t see what Ji Linbai felt about Ruan Chu—such feelings are hard to hide. While she didn’t object to Ji Linbai pursuing Ruan Chu, she didn’t want him to hinder the girl’s career. So she said, “Alright, Linbai. We’re both fans of Chuchu’s career. You and Chuchu are friends.”

“Let me make it clear. In the future, keep a respectful distance from Chuchu in public. Don’t let marketing accounts spread rumors about her. And when you’re around her, make sure to block those with ulterior motives.”

Ji Linbai: “…” That was his mother…

Xiao Yize’s biological mother was a blessing, but his biological mother was a hindrance.

Ji Linbai said, “Mom, you don’t have to tell me. I know.”

“If you know, then step aside.”

Mrs. Ji pulled Ruan Chu to the side and sat down. “Chuchu, are you free recently? My family’s clothing brand is still looking for a spokesperson…”

Mrs. Ji’s family wasn’t based in the capital, but they were still a wealthy family. They ran a prominent clothing company and were known for their luxury brand in China. An endorsement from them was extremely rare for Ruan Chu.

Ruan Chu informed Gu Yang and Gu Jin before letting Mrs. Ji lead her away.

Gu Yang watched and thought to herself that her cousin was truly a top figure in the entertainment industry. She came to her cousin’s banquet and even landed an endorsement deal.

“This is how Mrs. Ji should be a career fan. Bai, you’re on the right track.”

Gu Yang smiled at Ji Linbai.

Ji Linbai often sought her advice and considered her a half-teacher, so it seemed appropriate for her to address him like that.

Ji Linbai, “…”

He would make Gu Yang call him cousin-in-law sooner or later!
