Chapter 453

"Contact their agency." The manager rubbed his forehead, headache.

But although the photos were leaked, online public opinion did not ferment as that model had expected.

His Weibo follower count is not small, and it indeed attracted considerable discussion, but he never imagined that, except for Valuri's fan base being larger than his.

Models like him don't have many die-hard fans.

"What are you doing??? Can we now openly shoot this kind of work photo?"

"Putting myself in the shoes of a worker, I would really feel painful; the confidential work was all for nothing, and it was actually leaked by the cover model."

"Damn, is that Valuri in the on-site photo??"

"Wuwuwu, going off-topic, brothers, this makeup and outfit look so good!! I can't even imagine how happy I'd be to get this set of cover magazine!!"

The model, unable to let it go, again tried to stir up netizens' emotions.

He said in the comment section, even though they are the same team, Vivian only took photos of Jin Chen and Yu Jinzhou after the shoot, completely ignoring everyone else.

What's more, they are just a few little models without fans.

He almost sent it out full of jealousy, thinking this would let netizens scold Jin Chen and get justice for himself.

Who would have thought the netizens' focus would actually be……

"Really?? I don't believe it, unless you show me the picture (reaching out)."

"No picture is fine!! Can you describe it?"

"Chengzhou girls heard the news and came; no picture needed to talk about Dior!!"

Passersby were also shocked. Seeing the comment section and square full of joy, completely lacking any criticism from teammates' fans, they couldn't help but be curious.

"Hey, I'm really curious, wouldn't teammates' fans feel they aren't being treated fairly?"

"Right? Don't you male idol fans all like to fight over positions and screen time?"

The Sea Waves looked bewildered and hurriedly issued a statement.

"Rumor-mongering! You're all spreading rumors! (flips table)"

"Starlight sole fans, why be unhappy…… It's not like he was absent during the cover shoot; this situation clearly is just Vivian's personal preference, right?"

"Shengsheng sole fans, shipping the Chengzhou CP~ They went from trainees to debut success, and now to today's resurgence, isn't it their teammates who have been by their side?"

"My brother treats teammates like family; I'd have to be sick to regard his teammates as enemies……"

"As long as the company handles personnel, there basically won't be any sole-fan arguments; we're not idle enough to fight all day."

Such public opinion was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Even a marketing account made a special feature solely on the Sea Waves' comments, and inexplicably gave Valuri a boost in fans, after all, having a good fan community atmosphere is also very important for chasing stars.

This actually saved the time needed for crisis PR.

The magazine manager once again felt that inviting Valuri was truly the correct decision.

They also formally announced the termination of cooperation with that model, and demanded he pay liquidated damages and compensate for the losses incurred.

——

After the shoot, Vivian originally wanted to go out to eat with Jin Chen, and also bring Yu Jinzhou along.

Saying that, Yu Jinzhou became even more certain that Jin Chen's family already knew about his and his relationship.

"Not going."

Jin Chen removed his shoot makeup, changed back into his own clothes, hearing Vivian's suggestion, he straightforwardly refused.

Even to express his resistance, he dodged a bit behind Yu Jinzhou.

The tall individual stubbornly hid behind Yu Jinzhou and refused to move.

The Wen Yu trio also couldn't manage their family affairs, so they could only bring the already petrified Xite away first.

"Chenchen, Mother just wants us family to sit down and have a meal."

Vivian's tone was bitter; her beautiful ageless face actually looked somewhat tired at this moment.

"Family?"

Jin Chen lifted his gaze to look at her, speaking the words that had long been pressed deep in his original self.

"Do you still know what a home is? You, him, me— in a family of three people living in three different countries, we usually can't meet during holidays, and phone calls don't get through."

Yu Jinzhou lowered his eyes, feeling a bit heartbroken, quietly staying by his side, tightly holding Jin Chen's arm.

He usually rarely speaks such long sentences, being accustomed to summarizing his expression in a few words; today he is obviously exasperated.

Although he was complaining, Yu Jinzhou could tell that Jin Chen wasn't resisting his parents' pursuit of his career, but rather lacked a sense of security.

Just like when he was a child……

Weiwei An's eyes also reddened; she had never known her son felt so miserable, only thinking it was because he had reached his teenage years, and not communicating with parents was normal.

Then... then Mother, would you like to just stay with me in the country from now on?

No need.

Jin Chen furrowed his brows, sighed, and his tone softened a bit.

You don't need to give up your career for me.

Yu Jinzhou glanced at Jin Chen, then looked at Weiwei An, their gentle voice like flowing water, "Auntie, Chen'er means you can certainly pursue your careers, but the forest is dangerous, so you need to stay in touch with him."

Only knowing you are safe can let him stay at home in the country with peace of mind.

They noticed Jin Chen's fingertip curl slightly, the movement gentle and soothing, "Otherwise, each time we can't reach you, wouldn't we be worried each time?"

So that's how it is, actually it's like this.

Weiwei An suddenly understood, tears already flowing uncontrollably.

Okay okay okay, Mother knows, from now on wherever you go, as long as there's signal, just let me know you're safe, okay?

Jin Chen remained unmoved.

Under Yu Jinzhou's prompting, Weiwei An wiped away tears, "Mother will also regularly return to the country to see you… oh no, to see you guys."

She looked at the two people leaning together, nodding repeatedly, "You can be together and support each other; Mother is also happy."

Having said all that, Yu Jinzhou shook Jin Chen's hand, gesturing for him to express his stance.

Jin Chen finally nodded, his voice soft yet firm.

"Mm."

He held his wife's hand as they walked out, pausing when passing Weiwei'an, seeming doubtful.

"Wasn't it said we were having a meal?"

"Hey! Let's eat, let's go."

Weiwei'an didn't let Tears blur their vision, following the two.

During the meal, Weiwei'an kept serving Yu Jinzhou dishes, and also asked him whether he needed medicine to protect his voice for singing. As soon as she brought this up, she didn't hesitate, quickly having her assistant buy more voice‑protective medicine from abroad.

Speaking of the children at Fuliyuan, Weiwei'an went there with the two after the meal.

She met with the Dean Grandmother, treating it as a mutual meeting of parents.

Yu Jinzhou hadn't expected Weiwei'an to go this far.

The phrase "meeting the parents" had been heard many times during his impoverished student days; later, his college roommate, after graduating, went to meet the parents together with his girlfriend.
