Chapter 73 Don't Leave Me, Uncle
Chapter 73 Don't Leave Me, Uncle
chapter 73
Meng Youcheng did not push Jiang Yuming away.
These past few days, the boy has been acting very differently towards him. He's willing to tell him everything, a complete contrast to before. Rather than describing it as a son's dependence on his father, it's more accurate to say that he's developed feelings for him that he shouldn't have...
The man had always known, but he didn't want to expose it or face it...
Having finally entered a romance novel, this straight man only wants to complete his mission and doesn't want to get involved with any boys...
But... things didn't go as planned.
He initially wanted to develop a relationship with the female lead, at least to mislead the readers, but the female lead treated him like a brother, and he naturally treated her like a sister.
He didn't want to lose that 30 yuan...
And Jiang Yuming gave him this opportunity...
He has two choices: either complete the mission peacefully and keep his distance from the male lead, earning only 72, or stay with the male lead and earn 102.
He seemed to have no reason to choose the first option.
They kissed for several dozen seconds without Meng Youcheng moving, and Jiang Yuming looked on in disbelief...
The boy pulled away from the man's lips, whispered in his ear, avoiding his eyes, "Uncle... I'm sorry, please forgive me? Forgive me, I promise it won't happen again..."
"Uncle...!"
Meng Youcheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I forgive you..."
"But……?"
The boy still whispered in his ear, "Are you really willing to forgive me?"
Meng Youcheng stared at the ceiling. "Why wouldn't you want to?"
"But what I did caused you a lot of suffering. We could have had better conditions, and you wouldn't have had to face financial problems. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."
The boy's voice was choked with sobs, as if he were about to shed tears.
Meng Youcheng, still staring at the ceiling, interrupted him, "You know what? From the first moment I saw you, I felt you weren't suited to crying or laughing. You should be suited to a cool and aloof persona, like a domineering CEO..."
"You must have been really cool back then, but after getting to know you, I realized you're different from what I imagined. You're just a brave young man who's afraid of spiders, insects, and the dark..."
Jiang Yuming looked up at him, somewhat puzzled, "Uncle...?"
Meng Youcheng raised a hand and gently wiped away the tears on his cheek. "What I want to tell you is, don't always cry. You're 19 years old, you're a big kid now. Don't act like a child and get emotional over the smallest things..."
In the darkness, the two locked eyes, their emotions intertwined.
"Then could you...?"
Jiang Yuming's eyes gleamed in the dim light. "Don't go with that person. I really... can't live without you right now."
Meng Youcheng was stunned for a moment...
He suddenly realized who the boy was talking about.
A few days ago, Situ Ming came to him with the same request: he wanted him to become his manager...
The boy watched them from upstairs, not present at the scene, and unaware that Meng Youcheng had politely declined Situ Ming's request.
When the man returned, Jiang Yuming's eyes were brimming with tears. Xia Chunian, standing beside him, then, of all things, stirred things up again, "Your uncle doesn't want you anymore..."
The boy wanted to say something...
Meng Youcheng ignored him, because his mind was in turmoil and he was feeling a bit irritable at the time, and there was still no progress on the matter concerning Lin Feng.
Only then did he realize that the boy had misunderstood; he thought that he would leave with Situ Ming and abandon him.
Meng Youcheng smiled, reached out, and touched his cheek. "If..."
Jiang Yuming shook his head desperately, "Uncle, I can't live without you. Don't leave me. Don't go with that person. Don't be that person's manager. You're mine. Be my manager, okay?"
Meng Youcheng's lips curled into a deeper smile. "When you first met me, didn't you say you didn't want me to be your manager? What's going on now...?"
"That's because I'm stupid, I'm dumb, I'm foolish..."
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes again. "I regret it, Uncle. I really regret it. Can you... please don't leave me?"
"good……"
Meng Youcheng smiled. "Silly boy, why are you crying again? Didn't I tell you not to cry?"
Jiang Yuming lay down and hugged him tightly, "I... I couldn't help it, Uncle, I really couldn't help it..."
Meng Youcheng stared at the dark ceiling...
Jiang Yuming held him very tightly...
……
When Meng Youcheng woke up, it was six o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Yuming was sleeping next to him, hugging him tightly. The man carefully removed his hand, glanced at the crumpled paper beside him, and sighed…
He picked up the crumpled paper and threw it into the trash can...
Then gently open the door, go outside to brush your teeth...
The birds chirping on the telephone poles in the morning is really annoying.
Yes, how could I not be annoyed?
He hasn't paid his rent yet!
Just then, Xia Chunian came into view. The girl slowly climbed the stairs and came up...
Meng Youcheng spat out the foam in his mouth. "Where have you been so early?"
Xia Chunian looked at him and coughed lightly a few times. "You shouldn't talk like that. You should ask, 'Dear landlord, where did you go so early this morning?'"
"what?"
The girl came to his side, sighed, and said, "I've paid your rent back. Remember to pay me back when you make money, okay?"
Meng Youcheng's eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"
"How could this be fake? I just went there...?"
The man excitedly put down his toothbrush. He wanted to go over and give her a hug, but hesitated and said, "Thank you."
Xia Chunian waved her hand, "Just remember to pay it back when you have the money."
……
Time flies, three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Two months ago, the boss told him that he would give 1000 million to shut Lin Feng up...
According to netizens' recollections, Jiang Yuming should make a comeback in a year; that should definitely be fine...
Just as Meng Youcheng had thought.
The young man has been training his acting skills for the past two months, ready to make a comeback at any time.
With no source of income, Meng Youcheng worked from dawn till dusk every day, and this stalemate lasted for two or three months.
One day, a video went viral and became a trending topic.
"I am Raymond Lam's assistant. There's something I've always felt guilty about. Because my father is seriously ill, I didn't clarify things regarding the incident where Raymond Lam was assaulted. After my father found out, he kept blaming me, saying that a person should have a conscience..."
"Just a few days ago, my father passed away. Before he died, he told me that I must clarify the truth for those who helped me, so I recorded this video..."
"A few months ago, Raymond Lam was beaten. It's true, as the rumors say, he never treats us like human beings. He's been abusing us, taking a small salary and threatening us. That day, a celebrity named Jiang Yuming saved me..."
"It's not as Weibo says, that he was acting like a big shot. He saw me being bullied, so he resolutely stepped in to protect me. He's a good person. I'm the one who let him down. Because of my father's illness, I chose to keep this a secret..."
"Not only that, Raymond Lam not only treats us like dirt, he also frequently attends various gambling venues and even molests his own fans, not even sparing minors. I have video evidence to prove it..."
"These videos were secretly filmed by me while I was following him, just waiting for this day to be made public. The victim contacted Lin Feng many times, but Lin Feng, relying on his power and lacking solid evidence, suppressed the matter time and time again..."
"I believe the victims deserve justice, and..."
"Tell Jiang Yuming I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disregarded your life and death for my own selfish reasons. Seeing the overwhelming amount of abuse directed at you online every day makes me feel terrible and guilty. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to say..."
Those who believe in justice are never wrong.
