Shi Nian shifted slightly to shield Yun Nan, and this small protective action resulted in another wave of teasing from the crowd.
Shi Nian answered, “We’ve been married for more than half a year; she was preparing for this movie at the time. We only registered our marriage and didn’t hold a wedding ceremony; we just had a meal with our family. Yun Nan doesn’t like trouble. She feels that our relationship is between the two of us, and there’s no need to announce it to the world. I didn’t dare to refute her and could only fully support her decision.”
Everyone laughed, and Shi Xiu backed her brother’s words by saying, “My brother does everything my sister-in-law says! If he dares to disobey, our entire family will come for him!”
With her brother backing her up, there was no need for Shi Xiu to argue with those scoundrels. That would only be demeaning herself and turn her into a laughing stock. However, she would definitely ensure that that media company called ‘Xinyan Press’ would come to an end. And let’s not forget ‘Yun
Entertainment’; from what she’d heard, Yun Liu was evidently behind all this. That woman’s peaceful days are over!
But right now, the promotion of this movie comes first. Shi Nian and Yun Nan had even made their marriage public for her sake. Shi Xiu couldn’t let their ‘sacrifice’ go to waste.
“Miss Shi Xiu, Shi Nian’s your brother, so shouldn’t you be on his side?” the emcee laughingly asked.
“But I like Yun Nan!” Shi Xiu smiled sweetly as she stated, “Our whole family likes her. My brother’s greatest contribution to the family is that he married
Yun Nan!”
Yun Nan stood at the side and smiled.
Shi Xiu chuckled, “Thank you for asking this so bluntly. Then I’ll tell you frankly that I volunteered myself for this role. Yun Nan doesn’t want me to be an artiste. She’s afraid I won’t be able to cope with the hard work and the public pressure that comes with the job.”
“But I like acting. Yun Nan reluctantly agreed to let me act when she saw that the whole family didn’t object to it. That’s why I worked especially hard during the filming; I wanted to get her approval.”
Yun Nan was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Shi Xiu to care so much about her opinion. Moreover, the girl understood her concerns. Yun Nan reached out to Shi Xiu, who hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Thank you, Yun Nan! I hope you live a long and happy life with my brother. We’ll always be a family.”
Yun Nan was a little touched but also felt a little guilty. Shi Nian stood at the side and looked at his sister and wife with a contented expression.
“Chairman Shi, are you sure you didn’t invest in this movie?” the emcee persistently questioned.
Shi Nian sighed and said, “I wanted to. As long as Yun Nan needs it, I will support her unconditionally. However, Yun Nan wrote this movie for her mother; she insisted on completing it independently and wouldn’t allow me to interfere. I can only hope that she will allow me to invest in her works in the future.”
Yun Nan couldn’t help but glance at Shi Nian. ‘ Why is he so abnormal? Whats going on? Or did Iget too close to him, know him too well, and lose my rose- tinted glasses? Why do I feel that the current Shi Nian is different from the Shi Nian who signed the marriage agreement with me in the beginning?
The emcee and the audience, however, were extremely touched by Shi Nian’s words. Then, the emcee finally brought the topic to the movie itself. “Director Yun, Chairman Shi mentioned you created this movie for your mother. She’s your adoptive mother, isn’t she? I heard Miss Fang touch on it before. Can you tell us in detail about your original intentions and hopes?”
Yun Nan finally understood Shi Nian’s good intentions and looked at him gratefully. Shi Nian smiled at her in response, and the many cameras on the scene also recorded this heartwarming interaction.
Yun Nan took the microphone and spoke eloquently. “Xiao He is based on my adoptive mother. My original intention for making this movie was to commemorate her and my adoptive father. They were a very ordinary couple. My mother was kidnapped when she was a child and suffered a lot during her childhood and teenage years. What the movie can portray is only one ten-thousandth of what she experienced.”
Yun Nan continued, “She once said that meeting my father was the greatest blessing in her life. Although they weren’t rich, they understood and loved each other and supported each other through thick and thin. In my eyes, that was the best form of love. If there was anything my mother regretted, it was that she never found her biological parents. They adopted me and always wanted to help me find my biological parents. For this reason, they settled down in the area where they found me. Unfortunately, they searched until they died, but they never found my original family..”
