The Film Queen’s Live-In Son-in-Law is the King of the Women's Kingdom (GL) - Chapter 4

It was a bit presumptuous, not just a little, but the kind of presumptuousness that was no different from getting right in someone’s face and asking them, 

“Don’t you have any shame?”

In all of Yu Baichuan’s years, he had always been the one people catered to. He had never seen someone so audacious who would directly humiliate him like this.

Yu Chiyin coughed twice, pulling Shen Ji’s body behind her. Although what Shen Ji said had made her feel quite happy inside, the family of three opposite her was petty and vindictive. Yu Chiyin didn’t want this simple little glutton to suffer retaliation from the Yu family because of her.

“Since Mr. Yan is here as well, the status of Fai Fan Media in the industry is well known. Why not sign with Fai Fan? I believe Mr. Yan wouldn’t mistreat Keke,” 

Yu Chiyin said, finally giving Yan Li a proper look.

Yan Li immediately puffed out his chest, stating, 

“Yes, Fai Fan will definitely use the best resources to promote little sister Keke.”

Before Shen Ji and the others arrived, Yan Li had been calling her Miss Yu. Now, for some reason, he had started calling her little sister Keke, just like Shen Ji.

Yu Keke glanced at him. Fai Fan Media was certainly good, but it couldn’t compare to Chang Feng, the company Yu Chiyin was with.

Starry Summer International also had someone here today. These three companies were the three major giants in the entertainment industry, but there were also differences between giants. Starry Summer and Fai Fan combined were not even half of Chang Feng.

They were only mentioned together because other smaller companies hadn’t yet reached the same tier as these top three.

As the youngest daughter of the richest man in Hucheng, Yu Keke naturally wanted to choose the best. However, Chang Feng had a strict system for evaluating and selecting artists and wouldn’t give Yu Keke any special treatment just for Yu Baichuan’s sake.

Yu Chiyin had relied on her own abilities. Her debut film won her that year’s Best Newcomer Award, and from then on, every one of her movies was a masterpiece and a guaranteed award-winner. Debuting at eighteen, Yu Chiyin was already a triple-award-winning actress at twenty-six.

Even if she couldn’t surpass Yu Chiyin’s achievements, as Yu Baichuan’s second daughter, Yu Keke thought she should at least have a start that was not inferior to Yu Chiyin’s.

That’s why she hoped to sign with Chang Feng through Yu Chiyin. After all, Yu Chiyin was now considered the ace of Chang Feng, and her words would be taken into consideration even by the CEO.

Yu Keke ignored the flattering Yan Li, her eyes fixed on Yu Chiyin. Yu Chiyin detested those who had no self-awareness yet tried to take shortcuts effortlessly.

So she just spoke slowly, 

“It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond than a little fish in a big one. What’s more…”

She delivered a heart-piercing blow, 

“Being a little fish in a big pond isn’t as good as you think it is.”

Shen Ji didn’t understand their veiled conversation, but that didn’t stop the little king from actively supporting her. She nodded in a serious manner,

 “I think so too.”

“…” 

Yu Keke couldn’t hold back and snapped at her, 

“Who asked for your opinion?”

Yu Chiyin looked down on her because Yu Chiyin had the ability to. Whether it was her background or her talent, Yu Chiyin was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding among Hucheng’s second-generation rich. 

Although they had the same father, Yu Chiyin’s mother was the original wife. While Yu Keke’s mother was now the official Mrs. Yu, the fact that she was a mistress who took the original wife’s place was still a matter of gossip in others’ eyes.

So while they were both daughters of the Yu family, Yu Chiyin was like a flawless moon in the sky, while Yu Keke was just a cracked glass bead. Even when Yu Baichuan named her, he did it in a perfunctory manner.

Yu Keke didn’t dare to make demands of the gentle-looking sister in front of her, so she could only coo to her mother, 

“Mom, I want to be in the same company as my sister~”

This was naturally also said for Yu Baichuan to hear. She pretended to be an innocent little sister who adored her older one, feigning naivete, 

“I also want to be as excellent as my sister.”

Yu Chiyin frowned, feeling disgusted. Since childhood, Yu Keke had liked to copy her, wanting to go to the same schools. If Yu Chiyin learned piano, she would too. Even the style of clothes Yu Chiyin liked to wear, she would imitate, calling them 

“sister outfits.”

If Yu Chiyin ignored her, Yu Keke would run to her when Yu Baichuan wasn’t around and say that she was the real eldest daughter of the Yu family and that her mother, He Wei, was the real Mrs. Yu.

That was the only time Yu Chiyin ever responded to her, and the last time she did. Yu Chiyin wasn’t angered; she just looked at Yu Keke coldly and said something that made Yu Keke unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

“I never knew that the bl00d of a thief could be inherited.”

The mother stole Yu Baichuan’s wife’s position, and the daughter was now trying to steal everything that belonged to Yu Chiyin.

Instead of engaging in a childish struggle with her, Yu Chiyin quietly left that home. She studied and acted at the same time, without using any of the Yu family’s influence, and earned everything from scratch with her own hard work.

Later, Yu Baichuan voluntarily asked her to participate in the group’s management, which, to be frank, was because he valued Yu Chiyin’s reputation. He simply wanted to save a significant endorsement fee and gave her a subsidiary company—some newly started beauty brands—hoping to use Yu Chiyin’s name to make money off her fans.

But Yu Chiyin didn’t do what Yu Baichuan expected and promoted these brands herself.

Instead, she combined them with the current consumption habits of young people, differentiating the positioning of several brands. 

There were affordable makeup brands for young girls with low purchasing power, high-end skincare brands focused on skin care and keeping skin young, and ultra-luxurious brands exclusively for the wealthy, offering personalized services, including sending specialists to people’s homes to test their skin and then create custom formulas based on the season.

She also developed corresponding marketing strategies for each brand’s positioning. Some were promoted through collaborations, others were backed by in-depth technical research, and the luxury brands focused on providing the ultimate in attentive service.

She developed several brands that were now flourishing. Perhaps most people didn’t know that the decision-maker behind them was this young, twenty-six-year-old triple-award-winning actress.

Yu Baichuan was satisfied with this daughter, but unfortunately, she was just a daughter. He rubbed his fingers together. The repeated rejections made his expression unsightly, but he also knew his daughter’s personality.

So he directly made an offer, 

“One percent of the shares.”

Yu Chiyin let out a sarcastic laugh,

 “Father is truly generous.”

The mockery was potent.

Whether it was because he felt sorry for his second daughter and offered one percent of the shares in exchange for Yu Chiyin’s help, or because he wanted to assert his absolute authority as the head of the household, Yu Chiyin didn’t care. 

She was even less interested in the so-called one percent of the shares.

“Bones should be given to dogs to eat, not thrown at people,”

 Yu Chiyin’s expression was cold, and the smile she had maintained on her face was now completely gone.

The atmosphere froze. Yu Keke and He Wei were too scared to even breathe. No one dared to defy Yu Baichuan like this, except Yu Chiyin. She had her own confidence; she didn’t rely on the Yu family. Even if Yu Baichuan hated her as a daughter, she could still live a good life on her own.

Yu Baichuan took a deep breath, about to lash out, when Shen Ji, who had been silent for a long time, immediately interrupted his rage. She immediately looked curious, 

“How much money is one percent of the shares?”

She looked naive, as if genuinely curious, and then looked at Yu Keke with great envy, 

“Little sister Keke has such a good life.”

“If you don’t want them, you can actually give them to me. The entertainment company I’m signed with is pretty good, and…”

Shen Ji chatted on and on, trying to promote the entertainment company she was currently signed with. She even said that she was now a big star with her own fan base, shamelessly claiming she could bring Yu Keke into the industry. 

As long as she got that one percent of the shares, it wouldn’t be a problem to give all of her current resources to Yu Keke. The internet celebrity, Shen Ji, with 34,821 followers, boasted without any shame.

The others next to her were speechless, but only Yu Chiyin was listening with great interest. She even secretly pulled out her phone and opened a certain social media app to search for Shen Ji’s name.

Fortunately, Shen Ji wasn’t hard to find. Looking at the main page with the user ID ‘Little Shen Ji’ on her phone, she scrolled down for a while, confirmed it was the person currently chatting away in front of her, and then casually clicked ‘Follow.’ She then put her phone away.

She didn’t notice that she had forgotten to switch to her alternate account and had used her main one to follow Shen Ji. This matter took less than three minutes to become the number one trending topic for that hour.

Shen Ji’s mouth was dry from talking. Yu Chiyin pulled her, signaling that it was enough. So Shen Ji ended by saying, 

“That’s it. If you’re interested, contact me anytime.”

Too lazy to argue with these people anymore, Yu Chiyin politely said goodbye, pulling Shen Ji and turning to leave. But as the two walked halfway, they ran into someone.

This person was someone Yu Chiyin couldn’t just ignore. He was a relative from her mother’s side. After all the calculations, Yu Chiyin would probably have to call him “cousin” or something. For the sake of her mother, she usually wouldn’t let a Jiang family member lose face. Jiang Sheng held two glasses of wine in his hand and smiled at Yu Chiyin and Shen Ji, 

“Long time no see, Cousin Yu. Have a drink?”

“I’m leaving,” 

Yu Chiyin said, pulling Shen Ji. She frowned, silently signaling that she didn’t want to socialize.

Jiang Sheng was not deterred and continued to push the wine glass forward, 

“It’s rare to see you. How about a drink before you go?”

Confirming that the other person insisted on her drinking this glass before letting them pass, Yu Chiyin, not wanting to make a scene here, took the wine glass from his hand and took a sip, intending to put it back.But Jiang Sheng had already downed the other glass of wine in his hand and looked at her,

 “What? My cousin isn’t willing to finish this drink with me?”

Yu Chiyin had a low alcohol tolerance, a notorious “one-drink-and-down.” So she usually wouldn’t touch alcohol at social events. Looking at the wine in her hand, she was considering whether to just splash it on Jiang Sheng’s face when a hand with long, beautiful fingers reached over and took the glass from her.

“I’ll do it,”

Shen Ji said, winking at her and downing the glass in one go.

She then inverted the empty glass, shook it, and shoved it back into Jiang Sheng’s arms, 

“There you go.”

She took Yu Chiyin’s hand and, bypassing Jiang Sheng’s obstruction, walked out of the banquet hall. 

******

When they reached the elevator, Yu Chiyin received a call from her manager. 

“Hello, Sister Li?”

“Yinyin, are you still at the Lanno Hotel?”

Li Ran rubbed her forehead, a sudden hot search giving her a headache.

“Yeah, but I’m leaving now.” 

Yu Chiyin heard the fatigue in her voice and asked, 

“What’s wrong?”

Li Ran first asked, 

“Is there anyone with you?”

“A friend.”

“You’re on the hot search.”

In their back-and-forth, Yu Chiyin vaguely understood that the hot search was a result of her earlier following, but she didn’t think about why it suddenly became the number one trend. She just thought it was normal for her following Shen Ji with her main account to cause a buzz. 

Li Ran didn’t go into detail, only telling her to go home early.

As a result, Yu Chiyin didn’t know that the glaring number one headline on the hot search was: #YuChiyinFollowsA-City’sNotoriousSlut.

Nor did she know that the simple and amusing little glutton she met today was the legendary “A-City’s Notorious Slut.” Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been calmly standing there with Shen Ji, waiting for the elevator. Shen Ji suddenly started to feel dizzy and couldn’t even stand steadily. When Yu Chiyin helped her into the elevator, she was still barely able to stand.

When they got to the garage, Shen Ji had already completely passed out in Yu Chiyin’s arms. A person wearing high heels had to struggle to support another drunk person. It was a difficult task. Fortunately, the bodyguard arrived in time and helped her get Shen Ji into the car. 

“Shen Ji? Shen Ji?”

Yu Chiyin called a few times but couldn’t wake her up, so she gave up and instructed the driver in the front, 

“Let’s go back to South Bay Villa.”

That was a top-tier wealthy residential area in Hucheng, with private villas spaced far apart. The security was excellent, and the privacy was very high, making it the most suitable residence for her, a triple-award-winning actress.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a little dizzy herself, and closed her eyes to rest.

No one noticed that a tail was following their car from a distance, a silver-gray sports car. Following someone in it wouldn’t easily arouse suspicion; people would just mistake it for a coincidence.
