There was no choice for Liang Tian other than to find Jiang Xinyue and plead with her, telling her about his frustration, their future, and finally crying.

 

In the end, Jiang Xinyue was moved. Jiang Xinyue forwarded Liang Tian’s Weibo post about the new single with the text, “This new song, it’s very good!” and a heart emoticon.

 

Liang Tian’s team contacted the navy and started hyping it up.

 

When Liang Tian’s new single was released, Liang Tian also posted a photo of Jiang Xinyue’s listening to the song with headphones to warm up his new single.

 

The day before, Son of God had announced its dissolution, and the company held a live-streamed farewell party. At the farewell meeting, several members of Son of God shed tears right on the spot.

 

At Liang Tian’s request, Jiang Xinyue also attended the farewell party, but she insisted on not taking the stage. Liang Tian had no choice but to secretly ask the cameraman to give the audience some more shots, arranging many navies to hype it up.

 

The remaining members of the Son of God also reposted Liang Tian’s Weibo post and wished him a great single.

 

But, even so, ten minutes after Liang Tian’s new single was released, the unpleasant square on Weibo was associated with Liang Tian’s new single.

 

Whether passers-by found it unpleasant, even Liang Tian’s old fans felt very disappointed. They’d waited for so long, and the result was this?

 

As for the old fans who’d followed Liang Tian all the way, it was hard to accept. It’d been so long, and his singing skills hadn’t improved at all. It was clearly an inspirational song, but consequently, he sang with little energy, and there was even some place where his breathing was unstable. Netizens had been discussing it, saying that his teacher would deduct points for this at a later stage.

 

Liang Tian viewed the comments on Weibo with a gloomy expression.

 

At 12 o’clock, Li Huairou’s album of the same name was released. As soon as it was released, it swept the top ten of the major music charts. The sales exceeded 2 million in one minute and continued to grow.

 

And the reviews were also very good. Many music critics said that the production time of this album was so short, and they thought it’d been launched to cater to the market, but they hadn’t expected the final result to be so good, which was perfect.

 

In comparison to Li Huairou’s album, Liang Tian’s new single was a complete failure in all aspects, whether it was sales or reviews.

 

Li Huairou was triumphantly browsing Weibo, and Ji Yingze was watching, feeling helpless. “Be careful, don’t accidentally let your hands slip. Now, the netizens are amazing. You too, why are you fighting with him? It’s not worth it!”

 

“I just don’t like this person. I don’t want to see him proud” Li Huairou said with a smile, “Brother, let’s go out to relax. It’s been so hard during this time.  Call the people from your studio—let’s go celebrate and have a vacation together.”

 

“It’s too early to celebrate now!” Ji Yingze laughed.

 

    “Aiyoo, I’m happy! Let’s go together! I called my parents to ask if they were free. If so, let’s go together!” Li Huairou said with a smile. The original owner was not short on money. The original owner’s biological parents had left her a lot of inheritance. It’d doubled in the hands of the Ji parents over the years. This was enough for the original owner to live a life without worry. Adding onto what Ji’s parents gave, the original owner had earned by herself. Li Huairou looked at the original owner’s personal property report, and she was envious and jealous.

 

Therefore, the original owner’s debut was not really for money, but purely for her fondness for being in the limelight.

 

But Li Huairou was here now, and she felt a little weak to everyone’s attention. With so much money, why don’t you enjoy life well? Why do you want to look for abuse! The reason why she hadn’t retreated was because she wanted to block Liang Tian.

 

Ji Yingze thought about it for a while and was also a little moved. Creation needed inspiration, and inspiration came from life. He nodded; the new album had been released, and the follow-up should be to participate in some activities to promote it. But Li Huairou or Ji Yingze didn’t really care about these things.

 

“Hey, Mom, my brother and I want to go on vacation with our teammates to relax. Mom, are you and Dad free? Let’s go together. Our family hasn’t gone on vacation together for a long time. Mom and Dad, you’re working hard. Yes.” Li Huairou picked up the cellphone, and her sweet words came out as if they didn’t want money. “Oh, people don’t lack money—what they lack is the company of their parents! Okay, okay, if you don’t have time, forget it. Next time? Oh! I’ll remember to bring gifts for you. When I’m away, you should pay attention to rest and eating on time! Mm, mm, I will, uh-huh, I remember, ok! I know, yes. Mom and Dad, see you again!”

 

Ji Yingze listened by the side, paying attention to the time; well, his mother had been nagging for five minutes. It was difficult for Li Huairou, to not only have listened but also to have responded.

 

“They don’t have time?” Ji Yingze asked.

 

“Well, they’ve been talking about a collaboration with Country W recently, and they’re very busy. Hey, Brother, don’t you think our parents are working hard? They’re not so young, and they’re still worrying about the company. Why don’t you quit the circle, go back and inherit the family business?” Li Huairou said with a smile.

 

“Why don’t you go back?” Ji Yingze glanced at her. His hobby was music, and he wasn’t interested in inheriting the family business.

 

“I’m not good at that!” Li Huairou shrugged. “Hurry up and tell the people in your studio, who are going to sign up quickly. I’ll also tell Sister Chen and the others. By the way, I’m only responsible for paying—I’m not responsible for the rest!”

 

Ji Yingze laughed, “I didn’t expect this from you at all!” Ji Yingze took out his cellphone and posted the news in the group. When the friends in the group heard that they were going on vacation, they signed up, one after another. Ji Yingze said that he and Li Huairou were responsible for paying for this trip, but they were only responsible for paying. The specific plans should be discussed with Chen Lan.

 

Then they pulled the two groups into one group and ignored it.

 

Ji Yingze’s manager, Wang Chuan, and Li Huairou’s manager, Chen Lan, were silent in the group for a long time. They thought about a series of follow-up plans to promote the new album. As a result, the two were mainly going on vacation and bringing their teams together.

 

The two of them didn’t speak, and the rest of the friends didn’t dare to make a sound.

 

After being silent for a long time, Chen Lan sighed helplessly and first sent Li Huairou a WeChat message: “Have you decided on where to go on vacation?”

 

“Hawaii, Tahiti, anywhere, you can decide, I don’t mind.” Li Huairou replied very quickly. Saying this was the same as not saying anything.

 

Chen Lan decided to treat her like air and mentioned @Wang Chuan in the group. Determine the destination first? Let’s talk about it later.

 

So, when Liang Tian worked hard to participate in various variety shows and set off to build popularity for his new single, Li Huairou, Ji Yingze and the team set off on a month-long vacation together.

 

Destination—Santorini. This was finalized after everyone voted.

 

Liang Tian only found out about it after a reporter asked questions. At that moment, he almost lost control of his expression management. Fortunately, his idol’s instinct allowed him to control it, and he said some high-sounding words to prevaricate.

 

But in the background, when he looked at the photos on Weibo, his face distorted.

 

The world was so unfair. Even though he’d worked so hard, he still couldn’t compare to others. This was the power of capital! This society was too realistic. Without capital, it was useless to work hard.

 

Thinking of this, Liang Tian silently made a decision. “Hey, Brother Xie, that reception you mentioned last time…”

 

Jiang Xinyue hadn’t seen Liang Tian for a month. The reason was because she’d been filming and didn’t have much time. However, she managed to get together for two days of vacation and wanted to meet her boyfriend, but she couldn’t get in touch with Liang Tian.

 

It wasn’t until eleven o’clock in the middle of the night that Liang Tian sent her a WeChat message, saying that he was busy; let’s talk tomorrow.

 

Then, there was no news.

 

But Jiang Xinyue’s heart felt cold.

 

Busy? As far as she knew, Liang Tian had no other schedules this month except for the recording of a few variety shows. So what was he doing? She’d also read the latest news, but she believed in Liang Tian and didn’t believe it was true.

 

But now it seemed that some things were probably really “no wind and no waves”!

 

Jiang Xinyue laid on the sofa and stayed up all night. She didn’t know what she was waiting for.

 

After waiting until twelve o’clock, there was still no news from Liang Tian. Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, took a shower, changed her clothes, and left.

 

It wasn’t until the evening, when Jiang Xinyue had returned to the crew, that Liang Tian’s phone call came, long overdue. “Didn’t you say you came back? I even bought your favorite cake on purpose. Why did you leave again?”

 

“What did you do yesterday?” Jiang Xinyue asked.

 

“It’s nothing, I just had a meal with my friends and went to sing after the meal. It was too late and I slept all day,” Liang Tian said.

 

“Really?” Jiang Xinyue’s smile was a bit bleak. On the iPad in front of her was a photo of Liang Tian, who was kissing a woman in public. Although his face hadn’t been photographed, Jiang Xinyue recognized him. His clothes had been specially chosen by her.

 

“What’s wrong with you? Did the paparazzi write something again? Didn’t I tell you? Those are all fake; don’t believe them. You just need to believe me, and me alone. I love you!” Liang Tian said.

 

“Liang Tian, ​​let’s break up!” Jiang Xinyue finally said that sentence, and after saying it, she felt much more relaxed.

 

“No, what are you making a fuss about? Are you blaming me for being too busy during this time and ignoring you? Wait until tomorrow—I’ll go to Hengdian to visit tomorrow, okay?” Liang Tian said quickly.

 

“Liang Tian, ​​let’s break up. As for the reason, you can read the news yourself! I have already decided.” After Jiang Xinyue finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

 

News? Liang Tian frowned. What news? He quickly opened Weibo and saw that his name had been listed on the hot search list. He clicked on it and was stunned. The photo above was of the situation after he’d walked out of the hotel with his investors last night. One of them even was kissing. Liang Tian took a quick glance and found that they hadn’t taken a frontal photo of himself, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Presently, his agent also called, and the meaning was similar to what he was thinking—give them the cold shoulder, don’t admit to it.

 

Then Liang Tian remembered that Jiang Xinyue was going to break up with him, and he immediately called Jiang Xinyue. Even if they wanted to break up, it couldn’t be now. If the breakup was announced now, wouldn’t it be confirmed that the person in the photo was him?! If that was the case, he’d be finished.

 

But Jiang Xinyue didn’t answer the phone.

 

Liang Tian called Jiang Xinyue’s agent and assistant again, but they didn’t answer.

 

Left with no other choice, Liang Tian had to drag his tired body to Hengdian overnight, trying to convince Jiang Xinyue.
