Chapter 258: Chapter 259: Great Joyous News

Luo You didn’t bring the good script Cheng Xiaohua had guessed about this time, nor did he talk about the matter between Gu Runfei and Luo Sifang. Instead, he brought He Jinxia a huge surprise!

Clomp, clomp, clomp, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Mrs. He made a dazzling appearance!

"Mom, how did you get here?" The moment she pushed open the private room door and entered, He Jinxia’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed loudly.

She shouted while snuggling up next to Mrs. He, the only person who could make her lose her composure like this.

Mrs. He said with a beaming smile, "You still have the nerve to ask me, why don’t you talk about how long it’s been since you last came home? Let me think, has it been three months, or four?"

He Jinxia coughed lightly and glanced over at Luo You.

Luo You didn’t look away or speak, clearly not planning to get involved.

He Jinxia’s eyes shifted, a sly glint passing through, "Isn’t it because I’ve been quite popular recently? I’ve been seizing the time to attend events, trying to make more money so I can bring you to Imperial City sooner to enjoy life together."

Mrs. He laughed heartily, patting her hand, "You don’t need to push yourself so hard. Your mother still has some savings, which are enough for the future. I worry more about your health than money. You need to rest more!"

"Look at you, you’ve become much more haggard after a few months, and you look even thinner. You’re already skinny enough, don’t diet. Being able to eat is a blessing."

He Jinxia nodded like a pecking chicken, looking as obedient as one could be.

Seeing this, Luo You thought perhaps he should find some youth school movies for her to do in the future. He said, "Auntie, don’t just stand there, please sit down. Order anything you want, don’t be shy!"

He Jinxia pulled Mrs. He to take a seat, diligently handing her the menu and pouring tea.

Mrs. He was not just visiting the set this time but had other matters, although it was not appropriate to speak of them in front of Luo You and Cheng Xiaohua.

Luo You, skilled in reading the room, saw that Mrs. He was hesitating to speak, so he found an excuse to leave, pulling Cheng Xiaohua along as he went.

Cheng Xiaohua was enjoying a chicken leg delightfully, having already had dinner. Eating now was more like having a midnight snack. After being pulled out, she asked, "Brother Luo, do you need something?"

Luo You looked at her and shook his head meaningfully. "You’ve gained some weight recently, haven’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaohua’s mood for eating the chicken leg instantly vanished as she quietly said, "Just a few pounds..."

Luo You looked at her with a disappointed expression, "You’ve gained weight, so how has Jinxia lost weight?"

Cheng Xiaohua couldn’t take the blame for that; she quickly shook her head, "Jinxia also eats a lot, but she exercises every day. As long as she exercises enough, she doesn’t gain weight, no matter how much she eats."

Luo You said, "Haven’t I told you before? As her assistant, you should learn more from her."

Cheng Xiaohua felt a bit disheartened. "It’s too tiring. The exercises Jinxia does aren’t meant for ordinary people..."

Luo You gave her a stern look. "As Jinxia’s assistant, you need to be careful with your words and actions and set a good example. Everywhere Jinxia takes you, how you behave and what you do reflect on her image. Xiao Hua, your job carries great responsibility!" he remarked.

Cheng Xiaohua was somewhat bewildered. How could being an assistant involve so much? Wait, she was after all a top-tier assistant at Tonghua Entertainment who knew eighteen different skills. She surely wasn’t as incapable as Luo made her out to be?

Although Luo You didn’t explicitly say it, it was implicit in his words that "she wasn’t doing well enough."

Cheng Xiaohua’s lips parted slightly, wanting to make an excuse, but the next second Luo You beat her to it, pushing her outside while saying, "You go back first and do a few sets of exercises as Jinxia does. I’ll stay here, and that’ll be enough."

Cheng Xiaohua uttered an "Oh" and walked out in a daze.

By the time she reached the restaurant’s main door and felt the cool breeze of the night, her body shivered, and she realized she had been tricked by Luo You!

Cheng Xiaohua turned to look at the restaurant and frowned, murmuring, "What exactly is so secretive that they had to send me out?"

As it happened, Luo You had guessed wrongly.

He saw Mrs. Sheng’s hesitating eyes toward Jinxia and, recalling Jinxia’s unusual behavior in the recent past, thought Mrs. He had discovered something and had come today to ask about it under the pretense of visiting the set.

If it were such a matter, naturally, the fewer people who knew, the better. Cheng Xiaohua was capable, but she had not been with Jinxia for long, and he feared she could not keep it a secret, so he tricked her into leaving.

However, Luo You had indeed guessed wrong this time.

Mrs. He had not come to inquire about her daughter’s romantic history, but to settle in Imperial City!

Mrs. He had no other relatives in this world, only her daughter He Jinxia, whom she worried about the most.

Having not seen her for several months and fearing to disturb her work, she hesitated to send messages. Thinking over it and recalling He Jinxia’s previous mention of living near Imperial City, it rooted itself deep within Mrs. He’s heart and began to grow.

By chance, Jinxia’s aunt had come seeking help, and after a month of consideration, Mrs. He decided to leave the supermarket in Qingdu to her aunt and move to Imperial City to take care of Jinxia.

"... That’s the situation, Jinxia. What do you think?" Mrs. He said hesitantly and slowly.

He Jinxia couldn’t help but laugh and reply, "Mom, you’ve already decided, and everything is arranged, so how I feel doesn’t really matter, does it?"

Mrs. He frowned, "Of course it’s important, otherwise, you might hold a grudge against me in your heart!"

He Jinxia shook her head softly while holding Mrs. He’s hand, "You being willing to come to Imperial City is more than enough to make me happy. How could I possibly resent you?"

"As for the aunt and her family—" He Jinxia paused, her tone indifferent, "It’s your supermarket. You’ll definitely need to transfer ownership after moving to Imperial City, and giving it to them is fine."

He Jinxia, noticing the uneasy expression on Mrs. He’s face, guessed that she probably hadn’t taken any transfer fee from her aunt’s family.

During the New Year’s meeting, her aunt openly mentioned her financial troubles and even pulled Mrs. He aside to ask for a loan that day, which she intercepted and told Mrs. He to keep her informed if they approached her again.

It seemed Mrs. He didn’t want to distract her with these matters and had taken charge herself.

He Jinxia’s eyes twinkled slightly as she spoke softly, "Mom, as long as you’re willing to come over, that’s good enough for me. You make the decisions for Qingdu."

She blinked, playfully adding, "You can do whatever you want with the supermarket, but don’t just let go of our house in Qingdu, because that’s the house you worked so hard to buy over the years."

Mrs. He felt a bit more at ease, gave her daughter a glare, and replied irritably, "Do I look like someone who would do something foolish?"

"Your aunt’s family has had its difficulties, and her child hasn’t been dutiful, which has made their years difficult. Although she hasn’t really taken care of you, she is still your aunt, so I decided to give her the supermarket. Since you won’t be returning to Qingdu to develop your career, consider it a goodwill gesture."

"In family relations, it’s not always about keeping score. As for the transfer fee, a total of fifty thousand, your aunt couldn’t pay up front. She said she’ll owe it and will repay once she earns the money."
