Chapter 105: Chapter 105 He Yun, let me give you a reading
But this did not elicit any sympathy from the woman on the phone; on the contrary, it only heightened her emotions.
“You’re tired? Which actor isn’t tired? Do you know why you haven’t been getting good roles or making money these past years? It’s all because you’re too cautious!”
“You’re tired, but what about me? I go out every day to dine and drink with brand representatives and directors for your sake. Have you ever considered my hardships? You don’t care about me at all, just like your cold-hearted father!”
As she spoke, the woman began to sob.
“I’ve sacrificed so much for this family, and in return, I get no appreciation from you. Your father left, and now even you won’t listen to me? I’m your mother, isn’t everything I do also for your sake?”
He Yun’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
From childhood, he had heard this refrain countless times.
That home was nothing but endless arguments and his mother’s hysterical outbursts.
He was already weary.
But… what else could he do but compromise? After all, she was his blood relative.
He Yun struggled deeply within, glancing around the humble yet cozy place, and finally closed his eyes, preparing to compromise again.
“Mom, I’m sorry, I understand, I….”
However, suddenly there was a shouting outside the door.

— “Mr. He, are you asleep? Someone is here to see you.”
He Yun’s eyes brightened, as if he had found an outlet, and he quickly pressed his phone.
“Mom, something urgent came up, I’ll talk to you later, gotta go.”
Without waiting for a response, he quickly hung up the phone and handed it to the PD.
After going out, he realized that the visitor was none other than Jiang Li.
He Yun was somewhat surprised.
“Jiang Li? What brings you here so late?”
When the fans in He Yun’s live streaming room saw Jiang Li visiting their brother so late, they were immediately infuriated.
[Jiang Li visiting our brother so late, what’s her intention? Is it deliberate?]
[She must have ulterior motives! I used to think Shu Yan was the one who loved clinging to men the most, but it turns out Jiang Li is the real secret schemer!]
[I’m so annoyed by Jiang Li, can’t she stay away from our brother? I was already fed up with her fans shipping her with our brother, and now she’s pushing it even further.]
[I’ve always said this woman is not simple! At such a young age, she’s already very calculating, previously sticking to President Shang, and now she’s here to capitalize on He Yun’s popularity.]
Yet, Jiang Li stood at the door, not even entering, and she deliberately maintained a polite social distance from He Yun.
When she heard He Yun’s question, she spoke unhurriedly.
“It’s like this, Jiang Yan got hurt this afternoon, and we haven’t completed our task yet, but it’s too late now, we can’t make it if we use hoes, so I got Director Sun’s permission to ask if I could borrow your plowing machine.”
“I see,” He Yun nodded, “Is Jiang Yan okay?”
“It’s just a minor external injury.”
“That’s good, take the plowing machine, I don’t need it anymore.”
The production team was quite considerate in allowing them to continue using anything that was drawn or bought during the filming period.
Since the plowing machine hadn’t been taken back, he kept the keys with him.
Afterward, He Yun took Jiang Li to the backyard to get the keys.
Jiang Li’s live streaming room was initially harmonious, her viewers appreciating that she was thinking of completing the task assigned by the production team so late, showing responsibility.
But shortly thereafter, a swarm of He Yun’s devoted fans flooded in, all of them criticizing Jiang Li’s shamelessness.
However, the next second, things took a turn.
Jiang Li was actually here to borrow the tiller to complete the task that Jiang Yan had failed to finish!
How could the ordinary people swallow this grievance? They immediately fought back.
“You fans of one person, does your face hurt? Lili was clearly here to borrow the tiller, yet you kept saying she was seducing He Yun. Look clearly, she didn’t even touch He Yun.”
“Do you think our Sister Li fell for He Yun? Hilarious, she only coveted He Yun’s tiller!”
“Wuwuwu Lili is really so good, now even thinking of covering for that jerk Jiang Yan, people calling her cold-blooded and indifferent to familial ties can shut their mouths!”
But He Yun’s devoted fans simply wouldn’t accept this explanation.
Borrowing the tiller in the middle of the night?
Who would believe that?
It’s probably just a glorified excuse to win the favor of their brother!
Sister Li has a tiller too, and she’s also a girl, why didn’t she go to Shu Yan?
He Yun retrieved the keys and handed them to Jiang Li.
“This machine is quite difficult to operate, how about I help you?”
Jiang Li smiled faintly and refused, “No need, borrowing your tiller is already an unreasonably bold request, how could I ask you, just out of the shower, to work for me?”
He Yun had now come to his senses.
Right, they were currently live streaming, Jiang Li and he were already people standing on the edge of controversy, being together late at night was controversial enough, and if he really helped her till the remaining land and violated the rules, who knew how much trouble it could cause.
He himself didn’t mind, having been through so much in the entertainment industry over the years, but Jiang Li was different, she was a novice, still so young, and it would be hard for her to withstand the public opinion pressure.
With this in mind, He Yun nodded.
“Okay, let me know if you need anything.”
Then he was ready to leave with his PD, but as soon as he turned around, Jiang Li called him back.
Turning back, he saw the girl’s eyes shining under the night sky, curved like crescents.
“He Yun, let me do a divination for you, as payback for borrowing your tiller tonight, since Director Sun doesn’t allow us to do point trades in private anymore.”
He Yun should have had no reason to refuse.
But for some reason, he suddenly became nervous.
Jiang Li was so capable, what if she really divulged all his past? Would she dislike him, dislike the terrible living environment he hides and his weakness?
His hand secretly clenched the hem of his garment, but his face didn’t show it as he said, “No need, it’s just borrowing a machine. If it took up your energy, I would be the one to feel sorry.”
Meanwhile, He Yun’s devoted fans were also mocking Jiang Li.
“Did you hear that, Jiang Li? Stop throwing yourself at him, our brother isn’t interested.”
“You really think you’re Demi Immortal? Wanting to do a divination for everyone, seriously speechless.”
“Jiang Li, don’t come near! Stay away from our brother!!!”
“It’s okay, I won’t calculate your life trajectory, just help you see how your future fortunes will be?” Jiang Li stepped back and said.
He Yun ultimately wavered.
This afternoon, when Jiang Li was doing divinations for those villagers, he was eavesdropping.
He was both curious and admiring of her abilities.
Now that she had put it this way, it was hard for him to refuse.
It’s just a calculation of future fortunes, it shouldn’t reveal too much, right?
