Chapter 420 What’s going on?

Lin Qingyue really wanted to know.

She hesitated for a moment and asked directly, "What's wrong, aunt?"

A long time ago, when she first met Wu Mu and saw the group photo of Wu Mu's family, she wanted to know.

"Passed away." Wu Mu didn't hide it.

Not a surprising answer at all.

How could their familiar friends around them not see what the outside audience could guess?

Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu and reached out to hold his hand. "Isn't your uncle here too?"

Wu Mu thought about it and said, "I guess he is dead too."

Is he considered dead?
So he's not dead?
Lin Qingyue thought of the head that was cut off in the previous photo, and she tightened her grip on Wu Mu's hand.

These are actually speculations that have been made before.

What she wanted to ask most were key questions like how Wu Mu's mother died and what the situation was at his family.

But, after pausing for half a second, she held out her other free hand and said, "Try whether this fish fillet is tender or not."

Wu Mu was stunned, "Why did you suddenly change the subject?"

Lin Qingyue also smiled helplessly, "Forget it, if you don't want to tell me, I'd better not ask."

Well, the attitudes expressed when you want to say something and when you don’t want to say it are completely different. If you want to say something, you will only say it in detail after giving the first word.

If you don't want to talk, you can just answer each question, and it will be quite vague.

Wu Mu sighed, "It's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't know how to say it."

After all, he is not his predecessor. It is a bit strange to talk about his predecessor's past and make people feel sympathy and pity for him.

And if he really wants to talk about the past with his girlfriend, he should talk about his parents in the previous life.

But there was nothing he could do about this. He couldn't tell her that his father was still alive and well on Earth, had remarried and had children, and that he didn't need to worry about anything.

Lin Qingyue naturally didn't know about this. She just thought he still had concerns and didn't care. "If you don't know how to say it, then don't say it."

There is ample time.

There’s always a chance to find out later.

After eating together, Wu Mu drove Lin Qingyue back home.

But she was not going back to Qingyun Villa, but to her grandfather's house.

"My mother is coming back today and is having dinner at my grandpa's place." Lin Qingyue said, pausing for a moment, "You can go in and say hello later. My grandpa said he wanted to see you."

Ok?
Wu Mu looked at the car that was already halfway there and shook his head speechlessly, "You told me when we were almost there, I'm empty-handed, see you next time."

Lin Qingyue smiled and said, "I also received a call this afternoon. Please park your car a little outside and I will walk over."

Wu Mu never had a deep understanding of Lin Qingyue's grandfather. He just knew that he had a background related to the underworld.

And he has a very deep background. During the previous incident in South Korea, he was able to greet the diplomats stationed in South Korea.

This feeling became even stronger when I drove Lin Qingyue back home.

Lin Qingyue's grandfather's home is in a residential area for senior cadres in Yuquan Mountain.

The name Yuquan Mountain sounds inconspicuous, but it has always been one of the two major political forbidden areas in China. It is not only the headquarters of the Central Military Commission, but also has been the royal garden palace since the Liao Dynasty. Even in modern times, it is also the place where senior state officials live and recuperate. Basically, many well-known leaders have lived here.

When Wu Mu drove closer, armed guards came out to verify identities and register.

Once you go in, it seems quite inconspicuous, just a small bungalow that looks like a farmyard, hidden among the greenery.

"After passing a pavilion, drive a few hundred meters ahead and you will find where my grandfather lives. You can just stop at the pavilion later." Lin Qingyue said. She didn't say anything about not having to bring anything with you. It was indeed inappropriate to go empty-handed, as it would easily affect his grandfather and the others' perception of Wu Mu.

"Ah."

Wu Mu nodded.

However, when the car drove past, an unexpected situation occurred.

In the distance, three or four people were walking with a leader beside the artificial lake next to the pavilion.

When the group heard the sound of a car, they subconsciously turned back to check.

Then they saw Lin Qingyue's blue BMW and the group stopped. A woman who was about forty years old, wearing a beige slim-fit suit, with long wavy hair and pearl earrings on her ears, looked very fashionable and beautiful, smiled and waved at them.

Wu Mu stopped the car and looked at Lin Qingyue beside him.

Lin Qingyue unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car while whispering, "My mom and my grandpa."

In fact, Wu Mu recognized her without being reminded. After all, Lin Qingyue's mother Du Lan is a veteran film queen in Blue Star China.

This time you have to say hello even if you don’t want to.

Wu Mu then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

Since one couldn't see clearly inside through the car window, the group's attention was originally focused on Lin Qingyue who was getting off the car.

Then they saw someone getting down from the driver's seat. They all looked confused. Then they looked at Wu Mu, and after seeing Wu Mu's face clearly, they were all stunned.

The group hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards Wu Mu.

Lin Qingyue also led Wu Mu to meet them.
The two groups soon met in the middle.

"Qingyue, have you eaten?" Lin Qingyue's mother Du Lan was asking Lin Qingyue, but her eyes were obviously on Wu Mu.

Who is this?

What’s going on? How come a man with such a conspicuous appearance brought her daughter back?

She was confused.

“I ate outside.”

Lin Qingyue nodded in reply, then turned around and introduced Wu Mu first.

"Amu, this is my grandpa."

He was an energetic old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He was also observing Wu Mu.

Wu Mu didn't dodge and greeted, "Grandpa."

This generous and straightforward attitude made Lin Qingyue's grandfather Du Xingguo nod secretly. The first impression was not bad. She looked very clean. She didn't have the sociable maturity of a celebrity, nor was she the kind of naive "little puppy" who knew nothing. She was generous and unrestrained, just like his granddaughter.

"Amu, this is my mother."

Lin Qingyue continued to introduce Wu Mu.

Her aunt and uncle were there too.

Wu Mu greeted them one by one.

"Aunt." "Aunt." "Aunt."

Lin Qingyue's mother Du Lan nodded towards Wu Mu, but this time her eyes were mainly focused on Lin Qingyue.

What does this mean?

Come out and explain it quickly.

Lin Qingyue smiled and said, "Mom, my boyfriend is Wu Mu." Duran was obviously stunned.

what?
When did her daughter get a boyfriend?

How come she, as a mother, doesn't know?
However, Aunt Lin Qingyue and the others beside him knew about it last time, so they were mentally prepared and praised him, "He is very handsome, even more handsome than on TV."

Lin Qingyue's grandfather beside him was also very kind, "I heard you sing at the 67 party before, and you sang well."

Ok?
Six or seven party?

Wu Mu didn't know that Lin Qingyue's grandfather had seen this. Thinking of his performance at the 67th party, he was a little happy, "As long as you like it."

Although it was a bit unexpected to meet here, Wu Mu did not stay long. After saying hello, he politely declined Duran's request to come in and sit for a while and then left.

Du Xingguo and his friends didn't stay for long, nor did they say anything about being nice to their granddaughter. They were just in love, so it wasn't appropriate to say such things.

Wu Mu drove away, and several people watched him drive away.

When he was completely out of sight, Duran immediately reached out to grab Lin Qingyue's ears, "What's going on! When did you get a boyfriend?!"

Lin Qingyue dodged, still smiling, "We just got together recently, and I didn't have time to tell you, mom."

Duran looked at her, not knowing whether she believed it or not. He just put down his hand and asked, "In the circle?"

"Yeah." Lin Qingyue nodded.

Aunt Lin Qingyue was surprised, "Sister, don't you know him?"

Duran raised an eyebrow, "Famous?"

She really didn't know Wu Mu. She had been active abroad a lot in the past two years, but based on Wu Mu's appearance, she thought he should be a star in the circle.

"He's more than just famous." Even my aunt beside me laughed, "I heard Qingyue talking about him last time I came here, and I went back to check. It's incredible. He's the most popular star in the country right now. People on the Internet say that if he continues to develop, he will become a new-age superstar."

The most popular star in the country now is going to become a new era superstar?
Duran was stunned. She didn't pay any attention to it. When did a new-age superstar emerge?
Looking at Wu Mu's appearance, she originally thought he was one of those popular young actors in China who suddenly became famous with one or two TV series.

But being able to live up to the expectations of being a superstar, even if there is an element of bragging, is completely different from traffic.

Anyone who is not qualified enough to say such things will only make people laugh.

Aunt Lin Qingyue saw her doubts and added accurately, "In the list of 300 global celebrities released last month, he ranked 289th, with an annual performing arts income of billion."

Top 300 celebrities in the world?

Duran looked more serious.

She naturally understands the value of the Global Celebrity 300, especially the value of the Chinese Celebrity 300. This undoubtedly means that this person is really something.

And most importantly
Duran asked hesitantly, "1.3 billion yen or Korean won?"

"Renminbi." Aunt Lin Qingyue was speechless.

RMB?
Are you kidding me!
Duran looked a little stunned.

As a veteran actress in the circle, she may not have an idea about other things you ask her, but if you talk about the income of artists, she knows very well how much income an artist of a certain level can earn.

For the first-line celebrities in the circle, earning two or three hundred million a year is already a lot.

Those top-tier companies that are still at their peak may earn more if they try their best to take on more work, but three or four hundred million is the limit.

To go further, you have to start transforming into capital investment to make money, but generally you can only make 500 to 600 million a year at most, and that's just paper profit.

Now, you tell her that someone suddenly appeared in the domestic circle and made 1.3 billion a year! ?
How did you earn this?!

Duran felt that he lacked imagination.

However, she had already noticed that her daughter's first love was not a simple person.

but.
After hesitating for a moment, Duran asked, "Didn't you dislike people in the same circle before? Why did you find someone in the same circle?"

Still my first boyfriend.

As someone who was able to run away to become an actor decades ago, Duran does not have any identity discrimination towards people in the circle.

But the working style in the circle really made her worry about her daughter.

The entertainment industry is a real melting pot, with a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women gathered together, but couples are often separated from each other. They often have to go out for a few months because of filming or rushing to work. Their lovers are far away, but they are surrounded by a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women who can get temporary comfort just by reaching out.
Sometimes you may have to put yourself into the role just because of filming.

All I can say is that in this kind of environment, keeping oneself clean often requires great effort.

Objectively speaking, it is difficult for couples in the circle to last long. They often quarrel over various things, and their passion is completely worn out during the quarrels.

Lin Qingyue smiled, "Wu Mu may be different from the people in your circle in your impression."

Different from other people in the circle?
Duran looked at Lin Qingyue. Although she couldn't imagine how she was different, she also knew that her daughter was not someone who would be blinded by her appearance.

So in the end she suppressed her worries and nodded without saying anything, but she thought to herself that she would go back and find out why that person was different.

Lin Qingyue's family gathered together and walked back, and the atmosphere was not too serious.

It's just dating, and it's different from getting married.

Wu Mu had also returned home in Lin Qingyue's car.

After returning home, he took out his cell phone and saw a WeChat message from Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue: "Are you home yet?"

Lin Qingyue: "How do my grandpa and mom feel?"

Wu Mu replied with his phone, "Here we are."

He paused for a moment and said, "Grandpa and aunt seem quite kind."

At least overall there is not the same sense of distance as Lin Xueming.

After unexpectedly meeting his parents, Wu Mu spent the next few days busy recording his album.

Then I finally managed to finish the recording before the Cannes shortlist was announced.

He sent the album directly to LINE Music.

Atsushi Harada of LINE Music has been feeling a little disappointed recently.

When he first heard Shi Wu's answer, he thought Shi Wu and the others were joking.

As a result, facts later told him that these people were serious.

They really don't have any publicity plan at all.

A big business worth hundreds of millions of yen and the release of a new album that is extremely important to the singer were treated by them as if it were a joke.

They let the popularity of the previous program fade away, and there was no promotion or even any effort to maintain the popularity.

Thanks to this group of people who were just playing tricks, the number of people who pre-ordered the album on their platform is still 400,000.

Moreover, because the popularity has passed, the proportion of those 400,000 people who made reservations who will actually make a purchase is estimated to have further declined.

So when he received the complete song master file from Wu Mu, he was actually a little discouraged. Thinking that with this person's attitude, this album might not make much of a splash.

So he just handed the work over to his subordinates.

But who would have thought that not long after he handed the work over to his subordinate, his subordinate called him.

"Director Harada, come and take a look! The album of that Chinese guy is of extremely high quality!"

Ok?
