Seeing the situation, Jin Yufan secretly glanced at his grandmother and, waiting for a pause in her speech, hurriedly said, "Grandma, I think..."

"Hey, I'm not dead yet, when did it become your turn to speak? You shut up!" Before Jin Yufan could finish his sentence, his grandmother, Li Zhina, rudely interrupted him.

At that moment, Grandma seemed like a lion king whose dignity had been challenged. She stood up from the sofa, her face full of anger, and with a stern tone, pointed at Jin Yufan.

Grandma's overreaction frightened both Jin Yufan and Lu He, who was sitting beside him.

Looking at the domineering Li Zhina, Lu He couldn't help but swallow hard. Although he knew from the beginning that this task would be very difficult, he never imagined it would be this hard.

Lu He had also been a trainee. When he became a trainee for DSP Entertainment, his family was strongly opposed, and he had to put in a lot of effort.

Now, from the current situation, Lu He realized that he seemed to have encountered someone who was extremely averse to the entertainment industry.

People who are averse to the entertainment industry can be divided into two types.

One type is the family elders who firmly oppose their children becoming trainees and pursuing a career as artists.

South Korea is a very traditional country. In the eyes of many Korean parents, only studying hard is the right path and the only way out. Becoming an artist is considered a waste of time, especially during the golden period of learning. This is absolutely not allowed.

In the eyes of many traditional Korean parents, artists are just actors. Letting their precious children risk their future to become actors is absolutely not allowed.

The other type of people is even more radical and extreme, known as Anti in the Korean entertainment industry.

These two types of people are the biggest headaches for the entertainment industry. The former causes great trouble for various entertainment companies, while the latter causes great trouble and even fear for the artists under these companies.

Jin Yufan subconsciously looked at his grandmother. From the memories he had inherited, his grandmother had never been this angry before.

Instantly, the atmosphere became oppressive. Both Jin Yufan and Lu He sat on the sofa, not daring to speak.

After a while, Li Zhina seemed to realize what had happened. Seeing the stunned Lu He, who was sitting straight like a soldier, she understood that the two had been frightened by her overreaction.

Thinking about this, Grandma's face turned slightly red, and she awkwardly coughed twice and said, "Alright, today is Yufan's homecoming. I haven't had a meal or a chat with Yufan in a long time. As for whether Yufan will join DSP Entertainment as a trainee and pursue a career as an artist, let's have a good talk about it."

"Yes, Halmoni, I really caused a lot of trouble today. I will stay in Busan for two days and wait for Halmoni and Jin Yufan's answer."

Hearing Li Zhina's words, Lu He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

After saying this, with Jin Yufan's apologetic look and Li Zhina's smiling apology, Lu He left to give the two some private space.

After all, at this moment, Li Zhina had become one of the people who were extremely averse to the entertainment industry in Lu He's mind. For such people, Lu He didn't think he could persuade them.

Moreover, Li Zhina's overreaction had genuinely frightened Lu He. Now, Lu He's only thought was to leave, not to try to persuade Li Zhina to agree to Jin Yufan becoming a trainee for DSP Entertainment.

For Lu He, the atmosphere in Jin Yufan's home was too awkward and oppressive.

Jin Yufan and Li Zhina watched Lu He leave in a panic before closing the door and returning to the sofa.

"Yufan, now that Lu He is gone, tell Grandma what's really going on." Grandma looked at Jin Yufan, who was petting General, with a serious expression.

Huh~~~ Grandma's reaction made Jin Yufan pause. Something was off. From Grandma's tone and expression, it didn't seem like she was strongly against him becoming a trainee. If that was the case, why did she react so strongly just now?

Seemingly knowing what Jin Yufan was thinking, Li Zhina chuckled and said, "Hehe, actually, Grandma doesn't care whether you become a trainee or pursue a career as an artist. What I care about is whether this is just a passing fancy or a well-thought-out decision. If becoming a trainee and pursuing a career as an artist is a decision you have seriously considered, then Grandma will absolutely support and approve of your choice and become your first fan."

Grandma's words left Jin Yufan speechless, especially when he thought about her overreaction just now. He couldn't understand why Grandma, who had reacted so strongly, was now saying she didn't oppose him becoming a trainee and pursuing a career as an artist.

"Hehe, silly child!" Seeing Jin Yufan's stunned expression, Grandma was amused and affectionately patted his head.

"Although Grandma isn't an actor, I watch TV dramas every day and have some experience and insights. Plus, with my age and life experience, my acting skills are not bad, right?"

Jin Yufan was speechless. The acting was indeed impressive. Not only Lu He, but even he himself had been completely shocked by Grandma's overreaction, and he hadn't dared to speak.

"Actually, what I did just now was just acting. My only goal was to put on a show, to let Lu He know and tell the entertainment company that our Yufan is not an ordinary person, not someone they can easily get. They need to appreciate and cherish him."

Listening to Grandma's words, Jin Yufan's eyes began to moisten. Although Grandma didn't know that her actions had no effect on the entertainment company and wouldn't get him any special treatment or benefits, she had done everything for him, regardless of her own dignity.

After all, even when she learned that Jin Yufan's parents had passed away, Grandma only showed sadness in her eyes, not on her face. This showed how strong and proud she was.

And yet, this strong and proud Grandma had given up her usual principles and acted like a clown, all for him. This made Jin Yufan feel a warmth and gratitude he had never felt before.

Seeing Jin Yufan's moist eyes, Grandma smiled and stretched out her hands to hug him, "Since you went to Seoul alone to participate in the trainee selection, it proves that you absolutely love becoming a trainee and a big star. Grandma will of course support our Yufan. After all, our Yufan is the best. Who knows, in a few years, you might become a big star."

Pausing, Grandma continued, "Actually, Grandma doesn't care whether you become a star or not. What Grandma cares about is your happiness and joy. As long as you are happy and joyful, you can do whatever you want. Just don't be as isolated and gloomy as before, making Grandma feel sad all the time. That would make Grandma very happy."

Listening to Grandma's words, Jin Yufan couldn't hold back his tears any longer. They streamed down his face.

Hugging Grandma tightly, Jin Yufan choked out, "Grandma, thank you!"

"Hehe, silly child, what's there to thank? I'm your grandma, and you are my only grandson. For Yufan, I'm willing to do anything and should do anything. There's nothing to thank."

At this moment, Jin Yufan was speechless, just hugging Grandma tighter. In this moment, Jin Yufan had completely accepted Grandma as his family, his only family.
