"Dad, what's wrong? Can't you just talk to me at home?" Jiang Ning asked, exasperated.
At that moment, Jiang Hai pulled Jiang Ning to the east end of the village, by the big river.
"Ning'er, tell me honestly—is your wife, Su Meng, a big movie star?"
The more Jiang Hai thought about it, the more suspicious he became. His daughter-in-law was so beautiful, even more so than those big stars. Her clothes and demeanor radiated wealth and status; it was clear she came from a wealthy family.
"Dad, what are you saying? Does every pretty girl have to be a movie star?" Jiang Ning found his father's assumption amusing.
Indeed, rural folk didn't pay much attention to movie stars. Naturally, they assumed such a stunning girl must be a celebrity.
Jiang Hai stared intently at Jiang Ning. "Alright, if she's not a movie star, her family must be pretty well-off, right?"
Jiang Ning gave a thumbs-up and smiled. "Hmm, you finally guessed right, Dad. Your daughter-in-law, Mengmeng, is the president of Cangnan City's Su Group."
"What? The president of Su Group? President, schmesident! I'm the President of the United States!" Jiang Hai snapped, his voice rising in anger. He felt his son was being flippant.
Jiang Ning laughed, torn between amusement and frustration. "Haha, Dad, if you were the president, I'd be the president's son!"
Jiang Hai slapped the back of Jiang Ning's head. "Stop acting like a clown! Get to the point—what's Xiao Meng's real background?"
"Dad, I've already told you," Jiang Ning said. "Mengmeng is the CEO of Su Group. That means she's the boss of a major corporation. Do you understand now?"
Jiang Hai's eyes widened. "What? The boss of a major corporation?"
Jiang Ning spread his arms wide, gesturing. "Yes, a huge one. If my previous company was this big..." He made a fist to represent his old company. "...then Mengmeng's company is this big." He spread his arms wide to represent Su Meng's company.
Jiang Hai stammered, "Then... then... son, are you living off her? Did... did she give you the three million yuan I sent you?"
Jiang Ning rolled his eyes. "Dad, all the money I sent you was my own earnings. I didn't ask your daughter-in-law for a single cent, okay?"
Jiang Hai's voice turned suspicious. "You didn't ask Xiao Meng for money? Where did you get so much? Your mother and I know you were laid off a few days ago."
Jiang Ning spoke truthfully. "Dad, I really didn't ask Mengmeng for any money. Tell me, have you ever watched the 'Young Dad' videos on Huayin?"
"No. Why would your mother and I watch that? Your mother only opens Huayin to watch square dancing videos at night."
Jiang Ning pressed on. "Then have you heard my mother mention the Dance God videos from last night?"
When Jiang Hai heard "Dance God videos," he stammered, his face flushing. "This, this, this..."
"Dad, just tell me—did you or didn't you?"
Jiang Ning was speechless. Why was his father suddenly so hesitant and embarrassed?
Jiang Hai took a deep breath. "Yes. Last night, your Aunt Li called your mother to ask why she wasn't at the dance. Then she started muttering about the Dance God..."
"After the call, your mother dragged me to search for the Dance God videos and watch them together."
Jiang Ning asked with a sly tone, "And then?"
Jiang Hai feigned nonchalance. "Then, then, your mother and I unconsciously started tapping our feet and dancing along."
Jiang Ning, intrigued, pressed further. "What else?"
Jiang Hai glared fiercely at Jiang Ning. "It's gone. What else is left? Wait, that's not right. You mentioned the Dance God—what does that have to do with you making money?"
Jiang Ning grinned broadly. "Dad, did Mom and I ever watch that dance from *Passion and Sin*?"
Jiang Hai's face flushed crimson as he vehemently denied it. "No."
Jiang Ning smiled, his lips curling upward. "Dad, doesn't the male dancer in *Passion and Sin* look a lot like your son? And the female dancer? Doesn't she resemble your daughter-in-law?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hai took a few steps back and scrutinized Jiang Ning closely. "Now that you mention it, the dancer's build is quite similar to yours. Hmm, yes, and the woman does look a lot like Xiao Meng. Could it be that you two actually danced in that video?"
Jiang Ning chuckled slyly. "Exactly, Dad. Didn't you just say Mom and I never watched the dance from *Passion and Sin*?"
Jiang Hai cleared his throat. "Ahem, I just showed Mom a bit of it. We did a few steps, nothing more."
Jiang Ning nodded. "Right, Dad. I believe you."
But his expression clearly conveyed, *I don't believe a word you're saying.*
Jiang Hai seemed to have a sudden realization. "Ning'er, let's not beat around the bush. Are you trying to tell me all the money you've made comes from those videos?"
"I heard that many influencers make money from this kind of traffic, right?"
Jiang Ning smiled. "Dad, keep this to yourself. Don't tell anyone that the 'Dance God' is your son.
The reason so many people came to our house yesterday was because a video of me dancing was stolen and leaked online.
Then a bunch of people tracked down our information and our home address, which is why so many people swarmed our hometown and Mengmeng's villa in Cangnan City.
Jiang Hai asked, "Then why did they all leave today?"
Jiang Ning said proudly, "Because your son posted a video of this 'Dance God' using another account, and it went viral, topping the trending list. Now everyone is focused on the 'Dance God,' and no one cares about that poorly filmed, stolen video anymore."
Jiang Hai seemed to understand. "I get it, son. You used a wolf to drive off another wolf, right?"
Jiang Ning gave a thumbs-up. "Exactly. You're still the sharpest, Dad. You figured it out right away. You could also call it diverting the disaster.
That's why my son wore a Monkey King mask in the video, and I blurred his face later. That way, no one can tell who the person in the video really is."
Jiang Hai asked in astonishment, "Son, you really made that much money overnight?"
"Dad, what are you thinking? Let me show you. This is my other account, 'Young Dad'."
"Look, it's filled with videos of me teaching cooking techniques. And these are the rewards people have given me, while this is the contract signing fee from Huayin."
Jiang Ning hesitated, then decided it was best to be completely transparent with his parents. He didn't want them to think he was a freeloader. If even his own parents didn't believe him, how could he expect anyone else to?
So, Jiang Ning scrolled through the financial records, showing them to his father, Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai, who had been watching intently, was stunned. "Holy cow, no way! Son, are these people crazy? What kind of idiots just throw money around like that? That much in tips alone? In our village, that could buy tens of thousands of pounds of grain—no, hundreds of thousands!"
Jiang Ning put away his phone. "Dad, do you believe now that your son isn't a freeloader?"
"Hmm, not like that. I knew it. You're a Jiang, after all. How could you be destined for a life like that? You, your dad, your grandpa..." Jiang Hai's voice choked up as he mentioned Jiang Ning's grandfather.
