The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 86 - 0: Got fed with dog food
Chapter 86 - 086: Got fed with dog food
"Let's eat." Mu Qiuniang was the first to pick up her chopsticks and start eating.
Mu Bai looked resentful, but didn't dare to say anything and obediently ate his food.
"Honey, your cooking is so delicious!" Jiang Nuo completely ignored the visiting "grand-niece" and enthusiastically served Mu Qiuniang more dishes. Or rather, because Mu Qiuniang's "family" was present, he seemed even more enthusiastic.
As for the dishes Mu Bai made, Jiang Nuo tried one bite and never touched them again.
"Grandaunt, your cooking is truly amazing!" Mu Bai was full of sincerity.
Darn it! How could she not have known that there are people in this world who can cook so deliciously?!
The meals she had eaten for over twenty years paled in comparison to her grandaunt's cooking, which was simply garbage.
Boohoo... She wanted to stay here forever, what should she do?
"Of course, this is my wife's cooking." Jiang Nuo looked absolutely certain.
Mu Bai was about to agree with her idol, but somehow blurted out, "This is my grandaunt."
She regretted saying it immediately and quickly added, "You're also my granduncle, I'm so happy. An international superstar is my granduncle, and someone who cooks so well is my grandaunt..."
She rambled a bit and didn't even know what she was saying.
Jiang Nuo suddenly thought: How could his clever wife have such a silly grand-niece?
"How long have you been in the entertainment industry?"
"Three years." Mu Bai was a bit embarrassed. Three years, and she's still just a small-time celebrity hanging around the seventh or eighth tier. Tragic. Meanwhile, her idol, it's said, rose from the eighteenth tier to the second or third tier in his first year in the entertainment industry, and then became famous, entering the top tier.
Then, in three years, he became an international superstar.
This really is a case of comparing oneself to others can be infuriating, and comparing goods can make you throw them away.
"I can't compare to granduncle; granduncle was discovered as soon as he entered the entertainment industry..." Mu Bai was very clear about her idol's history and spoke without hesitation.
There were things that Jiang Nuo himself couldn't remember, but Mu Bai remembered them clearly.
So, the grand-niece really is a fan of his! Jiang Nuo had previously thought she was just being courteous.
Since she was a fan and his wife's "family," he should look out for her in the future to avoid her being bullied.
"Are you filming anything recently?"
Mu Bai looked ashamed: "I had a bit of an incident last month, and grandaunt had to help me resolve it, so I'm still resting." Also, she had been "shelved" by her previous company. Boohoo...
While her granduncle was so impressive, she was doing so poorly, which was truly embarrassing!
"I have a few dramas coming up, I'll let you know if there's anything suitable."
"Thank you, granduncle!" Mu Bai was overjoyed.
Granduncle really is a kind and caring person, he's been so good to her! Of course, she didn't forget that this man is grandaunt's husband; he took care of her because of grandaunt.
"Grandaunt, try this, it's delicious." Mu Bai directly expressed her gratitude by serving food to grandaunt.
Duh, if she didn't serve grandaunt, should she serve granduncle? Better be careful not to make grandaunt jealous and end up on her bad side.
As expected, when she served grandaunt food, granduncle looked very pleased. She had already heard online that her idol was known as a "wife slave" and "wife protector," which seemed true!
Next, Mu Bai knew exactly how to please granduncle and grandaunt. Pleasing granduncle meant being good to grandaunt, and pleasing grandaunt meant acting like an obedient, respectful "good child" in front of her.
After the meal, Mu Bai eagerly helped grandaunt wash the dishes, earning a look of praise from her.
After finishing, grandaunt invited her to eat a "fruit platter."
Oh my god?!
The fruit platter made by grandaunt was so beautiful, with a watermelon carved into a hollow flower ball. When the flower ball was opened, it revealed bright red flowers inside, with various colorful flowers competing on the outside as well.
"Grandaunt, can I take a picture and post it on Weibo?" Mu Bai was very fond of it.
As she spoke, she saw that granduncle was already taking photos.
Mu Qiuniang nodded, "Sure."
After all, having a "wife-showing fanatic" at home, she was used to it.
Jiang Nuo even advised her on how to take pictures to make them look better, stuff like "The Thirty-Six Strategies of Photography," "How Beauty Selfies Were Achieved," "How to Photograph Food to Make It Look More Delicious," and so on.
Before the topic shifted, in talking about her grandaunt, Mu Bai found that granduncle almost turned into a chatterbox, completely shattering his previous gentlemanly image on screen.
If she hadn't seen "Honey, Let's Get Married," she wouldn't have been able to accept it.
Mu Bai was enjoying chatting with such a down-to-earth granduncle.
When the two came back to their senses, Mu Qiuniang was already holding a drawing board and sketching.
Jiang Nuo: "..." He was getting ignored by his wife!
Mu Bai: "..." Was grandaunt angry that she and granduncle were chatting too much?
Mu Qiuniang wasn't angry; it was just that she wasn't interested in how they photograph each other or what they make. So she pulled out her drawing board to draw. Seeing the two stop, she returned to herself and asked the question she'd wanted to ask for a long time: "Xiao Bai, do you want to change companies?"
"Change companies?" Mu Bai immediately understood that grandaunt probably knew about her being shelved. Of course, grandaunt was so amazing, how could this be hidden from her?
Mu Bai looked disappointed and said, "I do want to change, but I signed a 5-year contract with them, and it's only been 3 years; there are 2 years left. If I break the contract now, I'd have to pay a large penalty, and I don't have the money..."
She suddenly regretted it; when filming, she didn't save up money well and only knew how to "enjoy" herself. Now, when she needed money, she found she had nothing.
"Which entertainment company is Xiaobai with?" Jiang Nuo asked.
"It's S Entertainment Company."
"That one?" Jiang Nuo was somewhat surprised; that agency wasn't known for good reputation in the entertainment circle, despite being one of the three major entertainment groups. Those familiar with the industry knew that it had a glossy surface, but behind the scenes, it often engaged in shady "transactions."
For instance, they would take the company's pretty female stars to banquets, supposedly for dinner, but things would end up in the wealthy merchant's bed. Even some handsome male idols had many rich women as fans.
In Jiang Nuo's mind, that wasn't an entertainment company at all; it was basically running a "flesh trade."
Although he couldn't stand it, he felt he didn't have the power to change the world. As long as they didn't cause trouble for him, he chose to turn a blind eye.
