My wife is in my arms

Chapter 792 Cooperating with My Eldest Brother (Part 1)
Early in the morning.

Xu Qingya was dragged out of bed by her agent.

"I told you to stop last night, but you insisted on going shopping, like you'd never been before. Even if a woman loves shopping, she can save that for when she's made enough money and retired. But now that you're so young, going shopping is like a dog smelling the location of a latrine—you have to drag her there no matter what."

Still half-asleep, Xu Qingya listened to her manager's rambling while reaching for her phone to check the time... She couldn't help but say, "It's only 6:30, let me sleep a little longer."

"If you want to sleep, wait until you're dead and then you can sleep slowly. By then, not only will no one wake you up, but you won't even be able to wake yourself."

Pushing Xu Qingya into the bathroom, Wang Yu said, "Hurry up and wash up. I'll take you to your older brother's house to practice with him later. You don't know, last night when I got back, I posted in the group that you were going to participate in the recording of the next episode of 'Special Voice.' Those singers are so envious. A hit show isn't something anyone can just get on. You're lucky to have an older brother like Zhang You."

Xu Qingya yawned.

She was already used to hearing herself rambling on and on.

Which old woman of this age doesn't have a gossip? It's only because they're artists' agents that they're not. If they were in the village, even a dog walking in front of them would be ruined.

Therefore, the best approach is for them to say what they want and do what they want, and absolutely not to talk back. If they do, then she will have to attend another moral and ideological lesson for the rest of the time.

After brushing my teeth, I cleaned my face with facial cleanser, then rinsed off the foam with cool tap water before eating breakfast and changing clothes.

By the time we were almost ready to leave, it was already close to eight o'clock.

"Can't you hurry up? You're going to rehearse with your older brother, not on a blind date. You keep going back and forth picking out clothes, one after another. If I'd known you were this slow, I should have arranged for you to finish a commercial performance before going to your brother's house."

Reaching out to pick up the two outfits she had bought for Zhang You's daughter the night before, Wang Yu and Xu Qingya went to the garage, where the driver was already waiting. Knowing that they were going to dance the cha-cha today, Xu Qingya wore a pair of soft-soled leather shoes.

As for high heels, we're not going to be performing on stage today; it's just a rehearsal, so there's no need to be so formal.

The main issue is that even though she's a woman, she still feels very uncomfortable wearing high heels. After getting into the car, Xu Qingya heard her manager say again, "When we get to your older brother's house, be a little sweeter with your words, call him 'big brother' enthusiastically, don't be stiff. If you want to do well in the entertainment industry, you don't have to accept unspoken rules, but you must be sweet-talking. It's best to be as enthusiastic as a little teddy bear seeing its owner when you see your older brother, understand?!"

Xu Qingya's hand froze.

Then he turned and just looked at his agent.

Wang Yu asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that!?"

"What do you think makes me look like a little teddy bear?!"

Xu Qingya was somewhat resentful.

This morning, from the moment she woke up until now, it's either like a dog sniffing out a latrine or someone as enthusiastic as a teddy bear. If she couldn't speak properly, she shouldn't have spoken at all, but her manager just loves to talk.

They didn't care whether others were willing to give it up or not.

"I was just using an analogy, why are you so angry! Okay, stop comparing yourself to that little teddy bear. Its enthusiasm is something every person navigating the world should learn from, except for its sometimes less-than-elegant posture, it's really great."

Done.

Wang Yu earnestly reminded him, "Remember what I told you last night? You and Zhang You are sworn brothers... no, you should be called brothers-in-arms. With this relationship, you can ask your older brother if he has any songs suitable for you to sing. Don't feel embarrassed. The more unfamiliar you seem, the more distant you'll become. If you act familiar, your older brother might actually treat you like his second brother. That's how relationships between people often are. The more you climb up the social ladder, the more your older brother will treat you like his second brother."

Xu Qingya turned her head to look out the car window. She couldn't listen anymore.

The main problem was that her manager kept calling her "Second Brother," which made her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

It was her bad luck to know someone like Zhang You... But then again, besides this "second brother" who often made her want to kill, she actually benefited a lot from her older brother.

The performance of "The Song of Remembrance" was a one-time event.

Because of that incident, in addition to the obvious increase of millions of fans, many people also gave full recognition to her violin playing skills.

Secondly, there's "Dust in the Fireworks," a song of truly high quality. Yesterday, at a commercial performance, the organizers specifically requested that she sing this song.

Finally, there's the opportunity to record the next episode of "Special Voice".

The key point, as her agent Wang Yu said, is that as Zhang You's status in the entertainment industry rises, as his "second brother," not to mention using his name to bully others, having this connection is obviously advantageous to her when she encounters problems.

At least she should think twice before anyone bullies her.

As it approached nine o'clock, and the morning light became dazzling, Xu Qingya, wearing jeans and a white long-sleeved shirt, arrived at Zhang You's house with her agent.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Zhang You sitting on a stone stool, flipping through two pages of paper, while Jiang Yiren, wearing a long dress and a sun hat, was tending to potted plants.

This was Xu Qingya's first time visiting her adoptive older brother's house. And to be honest, her adoptive older brother's house was well-managed by Jiang Yiren. In this mid-to-late April, all kinds of flowers were blooming in the yard, which was truly a beautiful sight.

A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers, and several little bees flew back and forth among the blossoms. This scene filled Xu Qingya with envy.

then.

Xu Qingya was just about to greet them when she heard her manager exclaim, "Wow!"

As her older brother and Jiang Yiren turned to look at her, Wang Yu exclaimed, "You two are truly... Zhang You sits there, and Yiren tends to the potted plants beside him. The contrast between stillness and movement is so beautiful; you could simply describe them as a divine couple."

After exclaiming in amazement, Wang Yu walked over to Jiang Yiren, scrutinized her closely for a while, and then said in an envious voice, "Yiren, you're pregnant, yet you can still maintain such a great figure. How are other women supposed to compete with that?!"

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

Is the agent circle this corrupt now? They come up and shower you with praise without asking any questions, but if you really look at Jiang Yiren, you realize she wasn't wrong.

Not many women can maintain this figure while pregnant with twins. Looking at Xu Qingya carrying two bags, Zhang You smiled and said, "Second brother, you're here! Your older brother has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Um"

Xu Qingya reluctantly agreed.

"Second brother, it's been a while since I've seen you. You've lost weight, and you've even gained a womanly charm."
