Chapter 237 Winning Over the Mother-in-Law
Chapter 237 Winning Over the Mother-in-Law
As Qiu Ziyue sat in Qi Yuxuan's car, her mood gradually calmed down.
The car drove smoothly on the way back to the hospital, with the scenery outside the window rushing by.
But her mind was still on the scene from just now.
She realized that she had been too excited and that it was inappropriate for her to snuggle up to Qi Yuxuan.
As a student, such actions could cause unnecessary misunderstandings and even damage Qi Yuxuan's reputation.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
"Qi...Qi Yuxuan, I'm sorry."
Qiu Ziyue said softly, "I was too excited just now. I shouldn't have done that. If others see this, they might have a bad impression of you."
Qi Yuxuan looked at her, his eyes filled with understanding and comfort:
“It’s okay, Twilight Sparkle. Everyone has moments when they lose control of their emotions, especially when faced with difficulties and misunderstandings. You don’t need to apologize for this.”
Qiu Ziyue looked up at Qi Yuxuan, a hint of worry in her eyes:
"But I'm still worried it will affect your reputation. After all, you're the company boss. If others find out, won't they think I'm frivolous?"
Qi Yuxuan smiled, his tone relaxed:
"No, you are an artist that my company is going to sign. Everything between us is a normal business transaction."
"Furthermore, I will handle the follow-up publicity to ensure that the outside world's perception of you is positive and constructive. So, you don't need to worry about these issues at all."
Qiu Ziyue nodded, finally feeling a little relieved.
She knew that Qi Yuxuan was not only comforting her, but also protecting her with his actions.
This trust and support made her feel incredibly warm.
Halfway through the journey, Qi Yuxuan took a document from a folder in the passenger seat and handed it to Qiu Ziyue.
"Twilight Sparkle, this is our cooperation agreement. Please sign it."
Qi Yuxuan said gently.
Qiu Ziyue took the document and looked at the few pages, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
She shook her head gently, her voice low:
"I don't want to sign anymore. You know how much criticism there is at school, and besides, I don't like a life of chasing fame and fortune. I'm really annoyed."
Qi Yuxuan frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure.
He turned his head and looked at Qiu Ziyue earnestly, his eyes filled with understanding and encouragement.
“Ziyue, I know you’re under a lot of pressure right now,” Qi Yuxuan said softly.
"But I believe you're a person who keeps your promises. You promised we'd work together, didn't you?"
Qiu Ziyue remained silent for a while, then looked up at Qi Yuxuan, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
“I understand your concerns,”
Qi Yuxuan continued,
"But you must believe in your own abilities. Your talent and hard work are unmatched. As long as you let your abilities speak for themselves, those criticisms will naturally subside."
Qiu Ziyue bit her lip, deep in thought.
She knew Qi Yuxuan was right; she had indeed promised to work hard, and she didn't want others to look down on her.
"Ok."
Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.
She picked up the pen and solemnly signed her name.
Qi Yuxuan accepted the agreement, a relieved smile spreading across his face.
Thank you, Twilight Sparkle. I believe you will do a good job.
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly. Although she was still a little uneasy, she felt more determined.
The two arrived at the hospital, and after several days of treatment, Jingyun gradually recovered, and her cough became less frequent.
The doctor brought over a sputum suction machine, which Qiu Ziyue took and prepared to give to Jingyun.
Qi Yuxuan snatched it away and said, "I'll do it."
After turning on the power, Qi Yuxuan gently placed the sputum suction machine on Jingyun's back and gently vibrated and massaged her, his eyes full of love, showing great patience and meticulousness.
Not long after, Qiu Langyu and Qiu Ziyue's mother, Li Jinfeng, brought fruit and came to see Jingyun.
"Oh my god! Is that you, Qi, the big star? Am I dreaming?!"
Li Jinfeng stood at the door of the ward, her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise and disbelief.
She covered her mouth in excitement, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Qi Yuxuan smiled and nodded, responding politely:
"Auntie, hello, I am Qi Yuxuan."
Li Jinfeng was so excited she almost jumped up:
"It really is you! I watched your dramas before, they were so good! Every time I was watching a drama, I looked forward to the next one. When will you release your next one!"
Qiu Ziyue watched this scene from the side, feeling somewhat conflicted.
She knew that Li Jinfeng had always thought highly of Qiu Langyu.
Now that they've met Qi Yuxuan, they're clearly drawn to his celebrity aura, seemingly forgetting about Qiu Langyu instantly.
Qiu Langyu also sensed Li Jinfeng's attitude, but still politely chatted with Qiu Ziyue, inquiring about Jingyun's condition.
Qi Yuxuan maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and patiently conversed with Li Jinfeng.
"Auntie, you flatter me. Thank you for your support."
Li Jinfeng was completely immersed in excitement, and said repeatedly:
"Oh, not at all! You're a big star! It's such an honor!"
Qi Yuxuan smiled, then took out his phone, made a call to Xiao Zhuang, and whispered:
"Xiao Zhuang, could you please bring the gift I prepared for my mother-in-law to her hospital room? Please hurry."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhuang took the gift from the car outside.
Qi Yuxuan turned to Li Jinfeng and greeted her warmly:
"Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will like it."
Upon hearing this, Li Jinfeng was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.
"Oh, I can't accept this! You even prepared a gift for me. Thank you so much, Mr. Qi, you great star!"
Qi Yuxuan still spoke gently:
"Auntie, please don't be so polite. I didn't know what you liked before, so I bought you a set of high-end skincare products. I hope you like them. Also, you can just call me Yuxuan from now on."
Li Jinfeng excitedly grabbed Qiu Ziyue's hand and said:
"Ziyue, you're having such a great time today! Tell me how you met Yuxuan!"
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Qi Yuxuan thought to himself, if Qiu Ziyue hadn't lost her memory, she might be calling Li Jinfeng "Mom" now.
He felt somewhat sad, but after meeting Li Jinfeng, he felt that Li Jinfeng was a very good person.
Seeing Li Jinfeng's attitude towards him, he knew that he had won over this mother-in-law, and that Li Jinfeng would be happy to accept him as her son-in-law sooner or later.
"Mom, I..."
When Qiu Ziyue heard Li Jinfeng ask her how she knew Qi Yuxuan, she hesitated to speak.
At this moment, Qi Yuxuan interrupted and said:
"Auntie, it's like this, our company's talent scout discovered that Ziyue has acting potential, so they contacted me to sign her."
"Didn't you want to see my next drama? I have good news for you. My next drama will be a collaboration with Twilight Sparkle."
"Really? Ziyue didn't even discuss it with me."
"I'm sorry, Auntie, it was our oversight that we forgot to ask you. But I believe you would support Ziyue, wouldn't you? And thank you for raising such an excellent and independent daughter."
Seeing Qi Yuxuan say this, Li Jinfeng could only go along with it and say:
"No, no, she'll have to learn a lot from you at your company, Yuxuan. You should teach her more."
"Of course, Auntie. Also, please rest assured that I have hired professionals to tutor Ziyue in her studies and take care of the children. You can rest assured about that."
Qi Yuxuan explained.
Li Jinfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said:
"Yuxuan, you are so thoughtful."
