Chapter 558 The Mother-in-Law Arrives

"Why did you choose me?! It's not because I'm the author of 'Me and You,' is it?!" Chen Yu looked at Director Zhang with a joking smile and tone.

"Don't you know that because you weren't in 'Beijing Welcomes You,' the public is very dissatisfied and regretful!" Director Zhang said with a wry smile. He hadn't expected things to develop this way. He thought that with over 100 big names joining 'Beijing Welcomes You,' and with the top directors, recording engineers, and sound engineers in the industry working together to create a song that they considered almost perfect, the audience was criticizing it, saying that 'Beijing Welcomes You' was imperfect without Chen Yu.

"I really didn't notice that. As you know, I've been busy filming 'iPartment' lately, so I'm not really familiar with what's going on online right now." Chen Yu shook his head slightly, pretending not to know.

Did Chen Yu really not know?!

Actually, that's not the case. Chen Yu has been paying attention to what's happening outside, following all kinds of information, and he has Da Bao organize and tell him the information every day.

So even though Chen Yu is usually very busy, he still keeps up with news from the outside world.

"Really?!" Director Zhang's first thought was disbelief; how could Chen Yu not be paying attention to what was happening outside?

Judging from Chen Yu's expression, he didn't seem to be joking, but this didn't make sense.

"Do I look like I'm lying?!" Chen Yu said with a light laugh.

"Alright, so, what do you think of what I just said?!" Director Zhang nodded, somewhat helplessly.

"I can only say that I don't have much time. My time is very tight. The filming of 'iPartment' is very busy, and there is hardly any time for rehearsals. After 'iPartment,' there is another new project waiting for me. So I can only apologize for your invitation!" Chen Yu really wanted to participate, but considering the choice between participating in the opening ceremony of the Olympics and completing the task of becoming a comedy master, he was more inclined to choose to complete the task of becoming a comedy master.

The short drama series that the Love Apartment crew created in their spare time is almost finished and will be released soon.

Chen Yu believes this series will definitely become a phenomenal hit of hilarious short films.

"That doesn't matter. I believe in your abilities. You can definitely handle this song easily. I'll arrange for Claire to come here to assist you, and the two of you can work together to minimize the time it takes up on you." Director Zhang still hoped that Chen Yu could sing the theme song for this opening ceremony. Putting everything else aside, Chen Yu's appeal is absolutely top-notch.

"Uh, you're so confident you can convince her? She's a superstar, an international celebrity, for goodness sake!" Chen Yu said with a playful smile.

"Yes!" Director Zhang nodded after a moment of silence.

"Well, that's not a problem. I'll set aside a day for the last day of rehearsal. I'll go back to the venue for the rehearsal, and the rest of the time can be on my end. I'll arrange the schedule. The most important thing is to get her familiar with the song 'Me and You.' Once she's familiar with it, I'll be fine. I can do it anytime, anywhere," Chen Yu said confidently to Director Zhang.

"Okay!" Director Zhang didn't believe Chen Yu's words. In other aspects, Director Zhang didn't dare to trust Chen Yu, but when it came to singing, Director Zhang's trust in him was absolute. This man was respected in the industry as the only living master.

Few can match his achievements in the field of music.

After seeing Director Zhang off, we welcomed Wang Yali.

"The company isn't busy today!" Chen Yu said with a smile, looking at his lover with deep affection.

"It's alright, why aren't you welcoming me?!" Wang Yali pouted at Chen Yu, looking like she was ready to teach him a lesson if he said he wasn't welcome. Chen Yu smiled and said, "How could that be?! I'm very happy to welcome you."

"You pass! I came here because my mother is visiting Kyoto!" Wang Yali said with a smile.

"When did this happen?! How come I didn't know?!" Chen Yu asked in surprise. When his mother-in-law came, the son-in-law had to entertain her properly!

"Hehe, my flight is at eight o'clock tonight! Let's go pick it up together!" Wang Yali laughed.

"Of course! My mother-in-law is here, and as her son-in-law, I have to go and greet her no matter how busy I am!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Hehe, I like hearing that! Go and talk to Sister Wang and the others, after all, you're excused tonight!" Wang Yali said with a light smile.

"Okay, wait for me!" Chen Yu nodded, preparing to tell Wang Min and Engineer Hu that he had something to do tonight and that all his scenes would be suspended.

Chen Yu returned quickly. Although Chen Yu was gone, filming continued as normal. Even without Chen Yu for a short period of time, the crew could still proceed normally.

"Pressure, Mom, what brings you to Beijing this time?!" Chen Yu asked as he drove.

"Yes, yes, the 2008 Kyoto Olympics are about to start, and my mom and dad are planning to come watch the Games. Now that they have you as their son-in-law, they're not so focused on the company business anymore," Wang Yali said with a gentle smile. Thinking about how her parents had become more open-minded and less focused on work made her quite happy.

"That's fine, but isn't it a bit early to come now?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

It's only mid-July now, and there are still about 20 days until the opening ceremony, so it's a bit unreasonable to come so early.

"You think you're so smart~" Wang Yali rolled her eyes at Chen Yu, naturally knowing what he was thinking.

"Actually, my parents came to Beijing this time for two reasons: one, to watch the Olympics, and two, to deal with some matters concerning the Wang family!"

"The Wang family's affairs?! What do you mean?! Do I need to get involved?!" Chen Yu was taken aback, then asked with concern.

“You know what happened to my parents before. Ever since they found out I was your girlfriend, the Wang family started coming to our door, and the frequency has been increasing. You know, our family hasn’t had any contact with the Wang family in Beijing for over 20 years. It’s obvious why they’re coming to us after more than 20 years,” Wang Yali sighed.

"Understood. Is there anything I can do for you?!" Chen Yu nodded, naturally knowing why.

However, this is their private matter, and Chen Yu, as a prospective son-in-law, shouldn't interfere too much. Although the two have already gotten engaged in the presence of both sets of parents.

“Not for now. My mother doesn’t want me to talk to you about this. She’s afraid that getting involved will have a bad impact on you, since the other party is an old and established family.” Wang Yali shook her head slightly and said softly.

Chen Yu remained silent. He could tell from Wang Yali's tone and manner of speaking that she had no good feelings towards the Wang family of Kyoto.
