"Big Brother, are you busy lately?" The silence at the table was broken by Augus, going against the usual atmosphere of the Mu Residence. Dad was serious, Big Brother was taciturn, and Mom had a mix of resentment and timidity towards Big Brother, which created this dining habit. Augus often tried to avoid coming home for meals, but when he couldn't escape, he had to make an effort to lighten the mood, though it rarely worked.
However, his question served two purposes: it was meant to ease the atmosphere but primarily to gauge Big Brother's thoughts and see how he would respond.
"Not much," Mu Shaosi replied without looking up, his tone indifferent.
"What are you busy with then?" Augus pressed on.
"Work matters."
Augus smiled awkwardly; getting anything out of Big Brother was indeed quite difficult. However, he was prepared and had secretly learned that Big Brother had spent a considerable amount trying to win over Summer's affections. But what could he say? He could only acknowledge that Big Brother's choice was exceptional. If it were any other starlet, no wealthy patron would spend lavishly on them; they would likely end up in bed with the patron without hesitation...
But Summer had actually turned him down!
This meant that Big Brother's money had been wasted. Although that amount wasn't significant in the grand scheme of things, Augus knew that earning money wasn't easy for Big Brother, who had built such a legendary company. It was time for him to add some fuel to the fire.
"When is Sky Media opening? Don't forget to invite me as a guest!"
"Isn't your schedule already packed?" Mu Shaosi looked up at Augus, aware of his intentions. He knew Augus was just thinking about how to proceed next and decided to wait and see.
"But for Big Brother's event, no matter how full my schedule is, I'll find a way to make time!"
"Alright, I'll have my secretary communicate with your manager."
"By the way, Mom, have you been keeping up with the news about your son lately?" Augus suddenly turned to Dewen and asked.
Dewen looked up in surprise, glancing at Mu Shaosi first. Seeing that he seemed not to notice her, she nodded vigorously and said, "Of course! Otherwise, how would I know about you getting a girlfriend?"
"I meant my work," Augus replied with a smile, but inwardly he was complaining that his mom never thought in the right direction.
"Oh, I know you just finished the post-production for an advertisement! What are you planning to do next? Are you going to shoot a TV drama?" Dewen asked.
Augus's loyal fans all knew that their idol had a habit of filming a TV drama every year. Although the genre varied, he would definitely do it. While his fans were aware of this habit, they did not know the reason behind it.
The truth was that it was because of his mom. When he debuted, she mentioned that she enjoyed watching him act in TV dramas. So as a dutiful son, he would request his agent to arrange a project for him each year. He filmed these dramas just to entertain his lively mom and fulfill her wish to see him on screen.
"Bingo! So what type of drama do you want to watch this year, Mom? I think an idol drama would be nice!" Augus said as he picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of food into Dewen's bowl.
"Sounds good! I haven't seen you in an idol drama yet. My son is so handsome; he'll definitely charm more girls..." Dewen laughed.
"I've already asked Hiya to help me pick a script. I'm leaning towards this year's 'Diamond Absolute Love.' The director is good, and the co-stars are great. If I join, this drama will be even more popular!" Augus said while glancing sideways at his older brother, who was calmly sipping soup with an expressionless face. His composure was remarkable; there was no hint of emotion on his face. This was why someone like him was more suited to be the Underworld leader than a corporate president!
"You really are something..." Dewen couldn't help but laugh at her son's words. "But Mommy likes it!"
