Chapter 1714: Chapter 1537: Antique Has Spirit 17
Jia Jinmeng originally intended to stay up all night admiring the room full of Purple Clay Teapots and the Phoenix Cry Pot, but who knew he would quickly become drowsy, surrounded by the aroma in the room.
Jia Jinmeng tried to resist sleeping, but he couldn’t hold on and fell onto the bed, drifting into a hazy sleep, and then he had a dream.
In the dream, he went to a strange place that seemed ancient, and he met a master craftsman who made Purple Clay Teapots. He followed the craftsman around, watching how he made the teapots.
Jia Jinmeng didn’t know how long it had been when he heard someone calling his name. Hazy and confused, he walked towards the direction of the voice, slowly entering a mist, his silhouette gradually fading away.
In a hospital room filled with the scent of disinfectant, Jia Jinmeng suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Next to his ears came an excited voice: "Dad, Dad, you’re awake!"
A girl rushed over, grabbing Jia Jinmeng’s hand excitedly, tears clouding her eyes as she called out to him. Jia Jinmeng looked over, his expression softening; it was his daughter.
Jia Jinmeng opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse, asking his daughter: "I, what’s happened to me?"
Jia Jinmeng remembered that he was firing the kiln because he wanted to produce the Phoenix Cry Pot. Among the master craftsmen of Purple Clay Teapots, he was the one who fired the most frequently.
At that time, he was waiting for the kiln to open when suddenly he felt a blackout before knowing nothing, only waking up to find himself in a hospital.
Jia Jinmeng’s daughter, wiping her tears, half-complained and half-fearfully said: "Dad, you were so focused on watching the kiln that you didn’t even realize you had a heatstroke.
Do you know how many days you’ve been lying here? A full three days! It scared Mom and me to death, Mom stayed by your side for two days and nights without sleeping, and she almost fainted just now."
"What? Is your mom okay?" Jia Jinmeng asked anxiously at these words. He had a good relationship with his wife, and upon hearing that she almost fainted because of him, he got worried and immediately wanted to get up to see her.
Jia Jinmeng’s daughter held him back: "Dad, don’t move. Mom is fine, she’s just very tired. The doctor said a bit of rest will do. Dad, you should focus on getting better first."
Upon hearing that his wife was okay, Jia Jinmeng relaxed, yet he suddenly had a realization. For someone so obsessed with making the Phoenix Cry Pot, it unexpectedly dawned on him that family seemed more important.
If not for his fixation on the Phoenix Cry Pot, he wouldn’t have ended up tirelessly exhausting himself into a heatstroke. From now on, maybe he shouldn’t obsess over making the Phoenix Cry Pot anymore; if it’s meant to be, it will be, otherwise, so be it.
......
In ’There is an Antique Shop,’ a red flame burned in Feng Shuangshuang’s palm, with a black mist shrinking bit by bit before vanishing. This mist was Jia Jinmeng’s obsession.
Lin Tian’er watched as Feng Shuangshuang effortlessly stripped away and dissipated Jia Jinmeng’s obsession and was somewhat astonished; truly, Feng Shuangshuang was the most powerful owner of ’There is an Antique Shop’ she had ever seen.
If it weren’t for the fact that the shop’s antiques’ obsessions came not from themselves but from their owners, just with Feng Shuangshuang’s skill in stripping away obsessions, it would suffice to liberate all the shop’s antiques.
......
At the moment, top-tier actress Jiang Kaixin is rumored to have been seen secretly meeting with a prominent entertainment company heir, currently hot male star Mao Boyang, suspected of being kept!
The above are today’s trending keywords, with all sorts of image news flying everywhere, and the entire internet buzzing overnight, as Jiang Kaixin, as a top-tier celebrity, garners extensive attention for every move she makes.
Netizens are wildly speculating, saying Jiang Kaixin’s rise was too smooth, with resources too plentiful, it must be because someone was keeping her. If that someone were Mao Boyang, then her abundant resources would be justifiable.
Instigated, netizens exploded, while Jiang Kaixin’s fans hurriedly controlled the narrative, fought back against black posts, and engaged in a war of words with Mao Boyang’s fans. Trolls and bored keyboard warriors left malicious speculations all over.
Jiang Kaixin’s agent, Sister Mei, was racing her car like a high-speed racer, not knowing how many tickets she’d rack up, yet she was too furious to care anymore.
Arriving at the residential community where Jiang Kaixin lived, Sister Mei was full of anger when she reached Jiang Kaixin’s room and knocked. Jiang Kaixin’s assistant opened the door and let Sister Mei in.
Jiang Kaixin was enjoying her breakfast; with her rare light schedule recently, she finally had the time to eat breakfast. Before this, she had been rushing around with no time for breakfast for a long spell.
Seeing Jiang Kaixin’s leisurely demeanor, Sister Mei’s brows shot up in anger. She turned on her phone, swiped to the trending topic of Jiang Kaixin being kept.
Then she put the phone directly in front of Jiang Kaixin, gritting her teeth and angrily said, "Explain to me, what the hell is this? Why did you go out to eat with someone without my consent?
And you weren’t cautious enough to avoid being photographed. Don’t you know if a rumor like this spreads too much, it will definitely affect your career?
You’ve just risen to fame, and now is your peak period. This type of scandal is catastrophic. Didn’t I warn you, and why won’t you listen!
The last time you went out with him, you almost got dragged into a scandal. If I hadn’t purchased the photos to stop them from reporting, you’d be ruined by now.
Yet here you are, while I’m busy plugging holes, and you’re poking new ones faster than I can patch them. Are you finding me too idle?"
Sister Mei erupted in a flurry of rebukes, during which Jiang Kaixin listened patiently. Only after Sister Mei finished did Jiang Kaixin nonchalantly respond.
"I thought it wasn’t such a big deal. Sister Mei, no need to be so angry. This is easy to solve; Sister Mei can arrange a press conference for me, and I’ll clarify everything."
Sister Mei was so mad she laughed, covering her forehead with a deep sigh: "What press conference now—don’t paint it blacker. Let the company’s PR department handle this. For the time being, stay in line and don’t stir up any trouble."
Sister Mei came this time to warn Jiang Kaixin not to act recklessly. After warning her, Sister Mei left in a rush, needing to mobilize people to cool down the situation while reversing the narrative.
Fortunately, Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang just happen to have a film to collaborate on, where both play the leading roles. The whole affair could conveniently be attributed to promoting their on-screen chemistry.
After Sister Mei left, Jiang Kaixin put down the fork with which she was about to eat a fried egg, sighing. Her issue with Mao Boyang really did annoy her, as they indeed had a bit of a tangled history.
Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang were classmates in school, and Jiang Kaixin once had a secret crush on Mao Boyang.
At that time, Mao Boyang was a prominent figure in the school, good-looking and skilled at basketball, quite attractive to girls. The number of girls secretly in love with him was countless.
Back then, Jiang Kaixin was a bit overweight and insignificant among a group of girls secretly in love with him. Mao Boyang had no idea Jiang Kaixin had a crush on him.
