Chapter 237: A Very Good Match

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Attas Studios

Shen Jun reached out and cradled Wen Nian’s petite face in his hands. He gazed deeply into Wen Nian’s eyes, his voice gentle yet authoritative as he spoke, “You’ve shown remarkable progress since your sophomore year of high school. However, it seems you’ve hit a plateau. Perhaps it’s time to consider a different approach. Trust me on this. Let go of your studies, just for New Year’s Day, and accompany me to the capital. I have a feeling that the upcoming exam might hold a unique surprise for you.”

Shen Jun seldom resorted to such firmness in making decisions for Wen Nian, but given Wen Nian’s circumstances, he found himself compelled to take a more assertive stance.

Gazing into Shen Jun’s deep, ebony eyes, Wen Nian discerned an unwavering resolve that resonated powerfully. The intensity in Shen Jun’s gaze was so undeniable that it prompted an involuntary nod from Wen Nian.

With New Year’s Day merely two days away, Wen Nian expressed her desire to partake in the production team’s festive gathering to her family. Upon discovering that Shen Jun would be in attendance as well, Wen Xing and Zhou Mei granted the approval without a hint of concern.

Centered around a realistic theme, the film had ignited unceasingly fervent debates. Wen Nian, occupying the role of the female lead, emerged as a focal point of intense deliberation. She had managed to captivate an immense following, drawing innumerous fans to her allure.

Likewise, the ranks of netizens and online detractors who held animosity towards her were on the rise. In tandem, a contingent of devoted WeChat supporters, capped at 500 individuals, valiantly stood up to counter the orchestrated opposition. Even with an array of stringent criteria governing their assembly, Sun Min remained compelled to select and organize five individuals from the eligible pool, adhering to the prescribed conditions.

Fortunately, there were two administrators in each group to help manage it. She didn’t have to worry too much. If not, her academic results would have regressed.

Zhao Jiao didn’t use her real name in the WeChat group. Instead, she named herself Big Sis Nian’s Future Mother-in-Law.

Zhao Jiao had given herself a nickname that reflected the genuine circumstances, yet within the group, this nomenclature failed to garner any substantial attention. After all, within the context of the collective, Wen Nian was recognized as the compliant daughter and the forthcoming spouse of Sister Nian, identified by simplistic sobriquets like “No. 1,” “No. 2,” and “No. 3.” This pattern of using numerical identifiers prevailed for most unfamiliar online users, encapsulating a digital realm where virtual aliases predominated.

There were many similar fans. Everyone only thought that Zhao Jiao was a fan who was pretending to be Wen Nian’s mother-in-law.

Zhao Jiao was very active in the group. She was also one of the first group members to join the group. She successfully obtained the position of administrator and even successfully added Sun Min on her personal WeChat.

Zhao Jiao did not reveal her full name and only asked Sun Min to call her Sister Jiao.

Zhao Jiao has her own entertainment company, but she’s just a nominal owner. Lately, she’s been involved in various activities to support the entertainment industry, watching as Wen Nian’s popularity surpasses two million without a proper team. Feeling anxious, she reaches out to Sun Min for a private chat.

Sister Jiao: Xiaomin, given Wen Nian’s current momentum, do you think it’s time to establish a fan support club?

Sun Min is having dinner with Zhou Bei in the cafeteria and lets out a sigh when she sees the message.

Sun Min: But from what 1 know, Wen Nian doesn’t intend to enter the entertainment industry. So even if we establish a club, it might not serve a purpose.

Sister Jiao: Is she considering studying something else?

Sun Min: She hasn’t decided yet. But during our previous conversations, she clearly stated that she doesn’t plan to enter the entertainment industry.

Zhao Jiao strokes her chin, finding this situation a bit troublesome. Her daughter-in-law hasn’t made up her mind yet. In that case, she’ll wait and see for now.

Sister Jiao: Then let’s wait and see. If Wen Nian shows interest, we can quickly establish the club. I’ve noticed that fans who support others often hold banners and signs. Whatever others have, my daughter-in-law must have it too! We can’t fall short on the grandeur! When the time comes, let me know how much money is needed, and 1’11 fully support it.

Sun Min sees the words “daughter-in-law” and immediately thinks of Wen Nian’s official boyfriend, Shen Jun. She chuckles, covers her mouth, and then turns to Zhou Bei, saying, “Sister Jiao’s sincerity is ultimately misplaced.”

Zhou Bei takes a bite of her apple and calmly responds, “Sister Jiao is just talking. Those fans in the group who bring up Wen Nian’s mother status still call her a good daughter in Wen Nian’s comment section all day.”

Sun Min: Sister Jiao, just curious, how old is your son?

Sister Jiao: He’s 17, quite talented and handsome. A perfect match standing beside Wen Nian.

Zhou Bei watches Sun Min and Zhao Jiao chatting, her apple-biting motion pauses. She turns to Sun Min and says, “Uh-oh, it looks like she’s really into this. She’s even brought up her son. She wouldn’t be thinking of arranging a blind date between him and Wen Nian after getting on good terms, would she?”

Sun Min furrows her brows. “I’ve never seen anyone better looking than Shen Jun. Even in the entertainment industry, I can’t find anyone like him. Plus, he’s a top student. From what I see, there’s no competition. But Wen Nian is a public figure now. I can’t spill private matters from my mouth. 1’11 give her a subtle reminder..”
