Jiang Nan hesitated for a long time before finally stammering, "I'm an old man, I'm an old man."
Fu Jingzhou lowered his head and bit his lip before letting go.
As soon as he was released, Old Jiang sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up his phone, and started browsing Weibo.
His latest Weibo was still an advertisement, and the comments section already had over 20,000. Some people were just watching the drama unfold, while others were joining in the fun.
Some of his fans are defending him, saying that anything is possible before a statement is issued.
Another group is turning against them and abandoning their support.
Human affection can sometimes be too superficial. There are plenty of fans who used Shengsheng say they would support Jiang Nan forever, but now, for some unfounded reason, they are turning against and insulting her.
I must have been blind to have fallen for you.
[ Jiang Nan, don't you find it disgusting to sleep with an old man?]
[When you posted your "Tangerine Food Chronicle" before, I was quite proud, thinking you had transcended social classes. Turns out you were being kept by someone back then.]
[6666, going on dates with her sugar daddy and posting the photos on Weibo, Jiang Nan, hmm... how is that not pretty awesome?]
[You really like grandparent-grandchild relationships that much? Why do you have to find an old man to disgust people?]
Although Jiang Nan is quite popular, he is not strictly speaking an idol and doesn't have any representative works, so fans can accept that he is in a relationship.
But what I can't accept is that he was talking to an old man.
[The person upstairs is overthinking it. They're probably not lovers, but a sugar daddy.]
[Ugh, so all those cute things he did before were just a persona he was selling?]
[Aaaaaaah, I can't take it anymore, Jiang Nan, how could you do this to me who's been voting for you every day?]
[How could he have apologized? The results aren't out yet, so what makes you think he was being kept?]
[A friendly reminder: Don't take yourself too seriously. Following celebrities is a matter of mutual consent. If your wallet allows it and you like them, then go for it. One-sided liking doesn't represent anything; it only represents yourself.]
[Aaaaaah, I'm going crazy! Why do you need a sugar daddy?! Are you that desperate???]
The smile on Jiang Nan's face vanished completely. He stared blankly at his phone screen, suddenly feeling a chill run down his spine.
So this is what the entertainment industry is like.
Those fans who used to Shengsheng support and love you will turn their backs on you for the slightest unfounded rumor.
Fu Jingzhou noticed his expression and reached out to touch the tip of the boy's ear. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Jiang Nan sniffed, suddenly tossed her phone aside, and reluctantly moved over to sit on the man's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. She spoke in a pitiful voice, "Wife~"
Fu Jingzhou is immune to this title.
Anyway, titles like "wife" and "husband" are all empty words; the real truth is obvious.
He wouldn't bother arguing with such naive people.
"What's wrong?"
He asked again patiently, subconsciously covering the back of Jiang Nan's head, his fingers slipping into her hair and gently massaging Jiang Nan scalp with his fingertips.
Jiang Nan is an insecure person, and this comforting gesture works very well for him.
He shrugged and said, "We were photographed and the photos were posted online."
Old-fashioned Fu Zhouzhou paused for a moment, "And then?"
Jiang Nan sniffed. "And then they all said you were an old man."
Fu Jingzhou: "..."
Are you upset about this?
As he asked that question, a warm feeling welled up inside him.
The next second, Jiang Nan shook her head violently.
"No."
The boy ruthlessly shattered his illusions.
Fu Jingzhou: "... Yeah, you'd be happiest if someone called me an old man."
Jiang Nan continued sobbing, "Who told you to go too far these past few days?"
Fu Jingzhou raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, it was my fault."
After saying that, he lowered his head and gently kissed the boy's lips. "So, what's making you sad?"
He lifted Jiang Nan's chin, kissed his eyes again, and said, "Your eyes are red."
When people feel wronged, they are not afraid of ridicule or sarcasm, but they are afraid of someone trying to comfort them.
Jiang Nan's lips trembled; for the first time, she experienced the feeling of being cared for.
The headmistress used to be very kind to him, but she was kind to the other children; what he had, the other children also had.
Therefore, Little Jiang Nan is often overly obedient and won't speak up when she's wronged.
This time, he sniffed and began to complain, "That blogger said I was being kept by an old man, and then a lot of fans unfollowed me and even turned against me."
Jiang Nan didn't initially plan to stay in the entertainment industry for long. In the end, he would return to his old profession and become a lawyer. He didn't have any ambitions. He just wanted a place to live, food to eat, and some social insurance and housing fund benefits.
Now that he's been in this industry for a while, he realizes he might have become a bit too deeply involved.
He initially didn't pay much attention to the group of fans who frequently greeted and teased him on his Weibo.
But now I realize that he is really, really, really sad.
Fu Jingzhou curled his fingers, wiping the corner of the boy's eye with his knuckles, and said gently, "A person who would give up on you because of a few rumors is not a resolute person. A resolute person will hesitate and waver in everything they do, which is very inefficient."
"This kind of person isn't worth paying attention to."
After being coaxed by him for a long time, Jiang Nan finally whispered an "Mmm".
He picked up his phone again and sent a message to Zhu Xia.
"Stirring Shit When It Hits": [It's fake, my wife is super, super, super beautiful!]
Zhu Xia replied quickly: [Then I'll have the PR department issue a statement.]
Stirring Shit When It Hits: [No need to issue a statement, just sue him.]
GG Bond: [The lawyer fees must be high. Are you burning money?]
Stirring Shit When It Hits: "[It's okay, my wife is super, super, super rich!]"
GG Bond: [...]
GG Bond: [You must be really hungry, you'd even eat a soft rice bowl.]
Stirring Shit When It Hits: [I'm angry!]
GG Bond: [...] Oh
Jiang Nan proudly showed his phone to his wife, "Look, a good man like me always likes to praise his wife in public."
Fu Jingzhou raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when a chat box labeled " Baby Shengsheng " popped up.
The man's smile paused subtly for a moment, then he looked at Jiang Nan with a half-smile and gently reminded her, "Your darling sent you a message."
Jiang Nan: "..."
He glanced down at his own bottom. "Sweetie, Daddy's so sorry."
He took a deep breath, clicked on it, and saw that the screen was full of exclamation marks!
Seeing the exclamation marks piling up, Jiang Nan quickly sent a message: [Stop.]
Baby Shengsheng: [Aaaaaaah, Nan Nannan, what do I do??? Your affair with your husband has been exposed??]
Baby Shengsheng: [Or you could just say that's your grandpa, your real grandpa, and that the time you went to Tangerine Food Chronicle was a company-organized event.]
