"Right, so you are..."
ng Wanning looked at her again and then lowered her head, "a Beijing Opera singer."
"Oh!" Yu Xinwei suddenly realized and nodded her head, "I have long admired your reputation."
Although she was not part of the Beijing Opera circle, she politely said it out of courtesy and due to her connection with Chen Cheng.
"Hello." ng Wanning replied politely, her tone still indifferent.
Yu Xinwei shifted her gaze to the others, smiled gently, and said, "Hello everyone, I’m Yu Xinwei."
Her voice was sweet and appealing, and every move she made exuded the charm of a celebrity, without any hint of arrogance.
"My gosh, it really is Yu Xinwei!"
Su Liya was still imrsed in excitent, she stood up excitedly and blurted out, "Xinwei sister...I’m your fan! I...I like you so much! Can you give an autograph?"
Yu Xinwei smiled graciously: "Of course."
i Xiang also hurriedly said, "Miss Yu, could you also sign one for ? I’ve liked you ever since I was in Japan! I watch your IG, ins every day!"
"Of course, thank you."
Although Liu Zhiya was not as excited as Su Liya and i Xiang, she couldn’t hide her excitent either, and she whispered to Liu Zhiying, "Sister, it really is Yu Xinwei! I didn’t expect her to be even prettier in person than on TV!"
Liu Zhiying nodded slightly, she too felt that Yu Xinwei was more charming in person than on TV.
Chen Cheng watched the chaotic scene and smiled helplessly, saying, "Okay okay, everyone calm down. Autographs and photos can wait until after the al."
Chen Donghai also returned at this mont, he handed bowls and chopsticks to Yu Xinwei and also brought a chair for her before retreating.
Chen Cheng looked around, from one to three, then to five, seven, and finally eight, except for Wen Shulin and Xiao ier who were not present, all the girls related to him had arrived.
"Well, this is also a rare opportunity for everyone to gather together..."
Before Chen Cheng could finish speaking, the always obedient ng Wanning interrupted him.
She raised her head and looked at Yu Xinwei, "Miss Yu, what is your relationship with grandfather?"
Su Liya, i Xiang, and the Liu sisters also cald down from their star-struck excitent and looked at Yu Xinwei together.
Anyone thinking about it, even with the least bit of information, could guess the answer.
Yu Xinwei faced ng Wanning’s sudden question without showing any panic.
She smiled composedly, turned her head to look at Chen Cheng with a questioning look in her eyes.
Chen Cheng thought for a mont and nodded.
"I am Brother Cheng’s woman." Yu Xinwei stated unabashedly.
Yu Xinwei’s answer dropped like a huge stone into a calm lake, stirring enormous waves.
Su Liya and i Xiang’s mouths ford ’O’ shapes, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Although they were fans of Yu Xinwei, they knew what this ant.
They never imagined that their idol was also Chen Cheng’s woman!
The excitent of eting a star was instantly replaced by complex emotions.
Liu Zhiya and Liu Zhiying looked at each other in surprise, initially thinking their relationship with Chen Cheng was special enough; they didn’t expect so many more "competitors," each of them equally outstanding.
Liu Zhiya couldn’t help but worryingly glance at her sister, knowing how deep her sister’s feelings for Chen Cheng were, wondering how she would feel about this situation.
Liu Zhiying, however, had a calm expression, showing little emotional fluctuation, but her tightly clenched chopsticks betrayed her inner unrest.
Although ng Wanning had a hunch, hearing Yu Xinwei’s admission still caused her heart to sink.
Her face turned slightly pale, but she quickly regained her composure, silently lowering her head, her expression unreadable.
Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu’s reactions were relatively calm.
Xia Yubing’s eyes flickered with understanding, as if she had already anticipated this answer.
Tong Jialu quietly poured Chen Cheng a drink and silently sat beside him.
Chen Cheng, observing everyone’s reactions, sighed inwardly.
He knew this answer would cause a huge stir, but he had no regrets.
He did not want to deceive anyone or run away from any issues.
Chen Cheng looked around, "I know you all have many questions and confusions now. But, I hope you can understand, my feelings for each of you are sincere, I don’t want to deceive or hurt anyone."
The silent ng Wanning spoke again, asking, "Do you and grandpa have a story too?"
Yu Xinwei looked at Chen Cheng once more, and he nodded again.
She recounted, without reservations, how she had gone into debt guaranteeing for her best friend, "5 billion, and couldn’t find anyone to help."
Her voice gradually beca solemn, "Just when I was about to despair, Brother Cheng appeared. He helped solve all the debts, allowing to continue the profession I love."
Yu Xinwei turned to look at Tong Jialu, "It was Miss Tong who helped at the beginning."
Tong Jialu, unhurriedly, "Yes, Brother Cheng gave Miss Yu five billion."
Yu Xinwei looked at Chen Cheng again, her eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness, "I thought Brother Cheng would ask to do sothing, but when the money was wired to my account, he didn’t contact ."
"He really is different," she smiled, "Only when Callia opened did Brother Cheng contact , asking to help with the promotion. Actually, even if he hadn’t contacted , I would have promoted it for him."
Su Liya and i Xiang’s eyes reddened as they listened, not expecting that behind the glamorous star, there was such a little-known past.
Their gaze towards Chen Cheng also carried more respect, and for Yu Xinwei, an extra touch of sympathy.
The Liu sisters also showed emotional expressions, not expecting that Chen Cheng would be so righteous, helping Yu Xinwei through the toughest mont of her life without asking anything in return.
This solidified their decision even more.
ng Wanning remained silent, her fists tightly clenched, feeling a mix of emotions.
She knew, Chen Cheng’s responsibility and righteousness were what she admired most, but it was also these qualities that made her uneasy.
She vaguely felt, there might be sothing dividing her and Chen Cheng.
"Brother Cheng’s kindness, I can never repay it in this lifeti." Yu Xinwei took the initiative to link arms with Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng patted Yu Xinwei’s hand, comforting, "It’s all in the past, don’t think too much."
ng Wanning lowered her voice, seemingly on the verge of tears, "Grandpa, I am full."
After saying this, she put down her chopsticks and left the table.
Chen Cheng’s previously relaxed brows now furrowed, "Wan Wan."
But ng Wanning didn’t respond and walked out of the west wing without looking back.
Xia Yubing, who understood a young girl’s mind best, quickly said, "Husband, Xiao Ning is really jealous! You should go have a look!"
"Yes, Brother Cheng!" Tong Jialu also understood why the usually gentle ng Wanning had suddenly left the table, "You need to comfort her!"
Chen Cheng again patted the back of Yu Xinwei’s hand, who tactfully let go, "Brother Cheng, go ahead. I’m fine."
Chen Cheng nodded, got up, and followed.
The seven girls inside naturally couldn’t continue eating hotpot anymore, but didn’t dare to go out and see, so they could only open the window of the west wing and watch from afar as Chen Cheng caught up with ng Wanning.
Chen Cheng quickly grabbed ng Wanning.
ng Wanning was already crying uncontrollably, tears streaming, not wanting Chen Cheng to see her in this state.
For the first ti, Chen Cheng felt her soft body trembling slightly, he took two steps, "Wan Wan, are you just going to leave like this?"
"Mm..."
"Going back where?"
She didn’t know where she should go, it felt like there was nowhere she could return.
"I don’t know..."
"Then stay." Chen Cheng said firmly.
ng Wanning shook her head, her back still turned.
"Why?" Chen Cheng knowingly asked.
ng Wanning didn’t turn around, "Grandpa, I’m not feeling well, really not feeling well."
Chen Cheng turned ng Wanning around to face him.
ng Wanning, head lowered, tears fell like pearls with broken strings, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Where does it hurt, tell ."
