The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 390: Director Who Wants to Cry (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Pass)

The director almost wanted to cry. He just wanted to make a movie, why did it have to be so complicated?Previously, seeing that Qiao Zhichuan looked good and had great acting skills, and was not yet a big name so he was cheap, he felt secretly lucky.

Damn it!

What’s so lucky about that?

Look at how many things have happened since this Qiao Zhichuan started filming. He’s a walking disaster. If it’s not Mu Bai getting into trouble, it’s him disappearing suddenly, with no sense of responsibility at all.

And what’s worse, if you want to pursue Mu Bai, just pursue Mu Bai, why mess with Jiang Nuo’s wife?

Isn’t this self-destructing potential and courting trouble? Does he really think those Nuomi fans are easy to handle? Although they are rare ’polite fans’ in the entertainment industry, who are usually proud of being Nuomi fans and very cautious about the image of Nuomi fans when outside to avoid tarnishing the name of the idol in their hearts.

But don’t you know that it’s the organized and disciplined Nuomi fans that are the scariest?

When they want to bite you, it’s rare they don’t finish you off.

Look at what happened to that female star who wanted to pursue Jiang Nuo before? Is her name still mentioned in the entertainment circle now?

What’s even more distressing for the director is that the film has already been half-shot, but the male lead is being boycotted, being told to ’get out of the entertainment circle’. How did it come to this?

There’s also the open declaration by Nuomi fans: As long as Qiao Zhichuan is in the movie, he will resolutely not watch it as a Nuomi fan!

This statement was supported by the vast majority of Nuomi fans, especially given Jiang Nuo’s huge influence—who among them is not a fan of Jiang Nuo?

The director says at least two-thirds of the crew are.

The director is worried—when this is released, will anyone even watch it?

At this moment, Jiang Nuo suddenly said to the director, "How about I take it over?"

The director was taken aback.

"The male lead has an accident and gets a new face, so what’s strange about that?"

The director was delighted, "Jiang Nuo, I’m so grateful to you!"

Damn it, as long as Jiang Nuo is in his movie, can it not be a hit?

Moreover, with Jiang Nuo’s suggestion, the previously filmed plot doesn’t need changing and can continue to be used.

Even if the Nuomi fans want to boycott Qiao Zhichuan, they wouldn’t boycott the god in their hearts.

For the director, this is simply an unexpected joy.

But for Mu Bai, this is simply "unprovoked disaster"!

"Wait, Uncle Jiang, what did you just say? You want to shoot this movie with me?" Mu Bai looked incredulous.

Is this a joke?

Never mind Uncle Jiang’s acting skills being so high, if she acted with him, she would only end up being overshadowed; besides, Uncle Jiang’s identity, acting as a couple with her own elder...

Boo hoo... it’d be better to swap Uncle Jiang with her older cousin, then she’d have no pressure at all!

Mu Bai glanced at Mu Cheng, looking full of grievances.

Mu Cheng: What can he do about such things?

"Yes, why, don’t you want to shoot with me?" Jiang Nuo asked with a smile while eating breakfast.

Mu Bai shook her head vigorously, "Uncle Jiang, acting as a couple with me, aren’t you worried Aunt getting jealous?" she said, shrinking her neck and glancing at Mu Qiuniang.

"Don’t worry, your Aunt isn’t that petty, unless you’ve got a crush on me. Hahaha..."

Mu Bai wanted to cry, "Uncle Jiang, you’re a cursed weapon, whoever touches you is unlucky!"

"You’re just realizing now? Alright, finish your meal and quickly go back to memorize your lines, or else you won’t be able to act at all, and I won’t be able to explain to your Aunt."

"Aunt, Uncle Jiang is bullying me~" Mu Bai complained directly.

Mu Qiuniang, dining and indifferent to external affairs: "Oh!"

"Aunt, don’t just say oh, Uncle Jiang wants to act as a couple with me, and you don’t even give an opinion on it? I think it’s a bit inappropriate, we should swap someone else..."

Mu Qiuniang looked at her blandly, "Your acting is so poor, it’s just right for your Uncle Jiang to train you a bit."

Mu Bai burst into tears, "No way!"

However, her opinion was not adopted by anyone.

Mu Bai had no choice but to bravely step up. To avoid being overshadowed too miserably by Uncle Jiang, she put all her energy into it, like being possessed, and could only cling to the script after shooting.

If she was unsure, she’d hold the script and ask Jiang Nuo how to act appropriately.

Jiang Nuo didn’t particularly trouble her, even reining in some of his aura while acting so as not to completely overwhelm her and let her showcase her acting skills. He was also generous with guidance, teaching her everything she needed to know and everything she didn’t.

The only dissatisfaction Jiang Nuo had was: "Xiaobai, although I’m very pleased with your curiosity, it’s inappropriate to keep disturbing your Aunt’s and my sweet time!"

Mu Bai, still full of the script, was a bit bewildered, "Huh?"

And the confused Mu Bai was directly taken back by Mu Cheng.

"Sorry, Aunt, Uncle Jiang, for disturbing you so late, I’m taking her back to rest," Mu Cheng really did carry her by the back of her collar, packing her away.

Jiang Nuo rubbed his handsome chin and said to Mu Qiuniang, who had been drawing and not paying any attention to them at all, "Wife, don’t you feel that the relationship between this pair of cousin siblings is a bit too close?"

"Is it?" Mu Qiuniang raised her eyes a little.

"How not? Even with the best cousin relationships, they aren’t this intimate, right? It’s so late, and Acheng can freely go in and out of Xiaobai’s room? Even among siblings, there should be boundaries. Wife, don’t tell me you’ve never noticed?" Jiang Nuo couldn’t believe that his traditionally-minded wife hadn’t noticed anything.

Mu Qiuniang calmly said, "There’s nothing wrong with them being together."

"Huh?!" Jiang Nuo was shocked, "They’re really together? Then what about my buddy Lu?"

He remembered Lu Mingchen getting drunk late into the night because of Xiaobai, didn’t he?

He always thought Xiaobai just relied too much on her cousin, and that Lu still had a chance. But now it seems...

"What has it to do with Lu? Everyone in the family is quite aware of Acheng and Xiaobai’s situation and basically approves. If they can end up together, that’s great; if it doesn’t work out, everyone will pretend not to know."

What Mu Qiuniang didn’t say was, for the happiness of her daughter, even short-sighted Wang Yuan knew how to please her sister-in-law Tong Yunyun, lest her daughter have any future daughter-in-law issues when she marries in.

And Tong Yunyun was also smart, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done. Mu Cheng was a foster son she brought in. Living in the Mu family, he already had no formal title, but the Mu family never said anything.

She was a grateful person, after all. What’s more, she had watched Mu Bai grow up, knowing her inside out. Although she had a little temper, she was good-natured. Along with Mu Cheng being mature and steady, the cousin’s sibling bond and thorough understanding were simply not issues.

More importantly, from a personal perspective, if Mu Cheng could marry the Mu family’s daughter, it would provide more security for his future.
