Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
Ever since Xu Yun met Fang Xi and learned about the workings of the fan club under Fang Xi’s guidance, she was unstoppable and quickly became the backbone of Shi Xiu’s fans. Even Fang Xi hadn’t expected this outcome.
With Xu Yun’s support, Shi Xiu’s fans went up against Yun Liu’s fans and her hired Internet trolls, and they actually came to a draw after a few rounds.
Fang Xi exclaimed, “Auntie, Tan Ning is a notoriously tough-to-beat manager, and you actually tied with her in your first fan war! That’s amazing!”
Xu Yun didn’t hide her pride at all as she accepted the praise. Yun Nan and Fang Xi finally understood where Shi Xiu got her straightforward personality.
Due to the ‘competition’ between Xu Yun and Tan Ning, the reality show— which wasn’t very well-known at the beginning—suddenly became a hot topic. More and more people began to pay attention to this show, and thanks to it, the box office of ‘4:30 P.M.’ increased, and so did the number of views of Yun Liu’s various productions.
However, the fans were again divided and took sides because of Shi Xiu and Yun Liu’s productions. More and more people started taking an interest in Shi Xiu, and her casual fans have increased.
The reality show’s director took advantage of this opportunity to boost the show’s popularity, and the audience began to demand they invite the peripheral personage onto the show. The most popular guest candidates we. Shi Xiu’s brother and sister-in-law.
The production team’s assistant director got in touch with Fang Xi with a nervous heart. He also used all his connections and went through several people to contact Chang Yuan. He had only one goal, and that was to use all possible means to persuade Shi Nian and Yun Nan to make an appearance on the show.
Fang Xi strongly recommended Yun Nan to attend and cheer for Shi Xiu, but Yun Nan felt, with her combat ability, Shi Xiu really didn’t need her help. Before Fang Xi could try and persuade her any further, Yun Zhang and Gu Wei came knocking on the door.
Gu Wei hugged Yun Nan and started crying and apologizing to her as soon as she entered. Yun Nan froze and looked at Yun Zhang, perplexed, only to see someone filming behind Yun Zhang.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Yun Nan asked Yun Zhang bluntly. Yun Zhang gave a light cough and looked away.
Gu Wei sobbed, “Yun Nan, it’s all Mom’s fault; I’ve let you down. If you have any grievances, you can take it out on me. Don’t make things difficult for your sister, okay? Please, I’m begging you.”
Yun Nan immediately understood what this was all about. She coldly glanced at Yun Zhang, supported Gu Wei, and took two steps back.
“What do you mean?” she politely and distantly asked. She then courteously gave up her seat and called for someone to bring them tea and water, all the while ignoring the person who was filming on their phone.
It was only when Gu Wei and Yun Zhang sat down and the staff served their tea that Yun Nan looked at the person filming everything and smiled before inquiring, “Yun Zhang, what’s the meaning of this? Are you recording our meeting because you want to keep it as a souvenir? Or do you want me to promise you something you’re afraid I won’t fulfill?”
Yun Zhang cleared his throat and glanced at Gu Wei without saying anything. Gu Wei hurriedly said, “I’m the one who called them here. I think it’s high time we talk things out today. I specifically got someone here to record everything and act as a witness to prevent us from going back on our words in the future.”
Yun Nan nodded. “Alright, go ahead. I’m listening.”
Seeing Yun Nan’s cooperative attitude, Gu Wei couldn’t help but feel smug. Tan Ning’s suggestions worked; she was indeed quite capable.
Gu Wei straightened her back and stated, “I know you’re talented and capable, but you’re a member of our family. That means all your glory also belongs to our family. Although your sister isn’t my biological child, she was the one who brought us joy and showed filial piety to us when you weren’t home for so many years. Therefore, you must never forget your sister’s kindness!”
She continued, “You’re rich and famous now, but you can’t just ignore your brother and sister and us. We’re your family! Your brother gave you the green light when you wanted to leave and strike out on your own. Now that you’ve made a name for yourself, I think it’s about time you put this studio under the Yun Corporation’s purview. It’ll count as a subsidiary.”
Before Yun Nan could say anything, Yun Zhang stood up in shock. “Mom, what are you talking about?” He’d accompanied his mother here to meet Yun Nan because he thought she wanted to ease her relationship with Yun Nan. Although he was a little put-off by the filming, he thought his mother had wanted to show Yun Nan her resolve by recording their discussion. He didn’t expect her to make such a shameless demand. Even he felt ashamed.
“Shut up!” Gu Wei snapped and glared at Yun Zhang. “What’s wrong with what I said? Yun Nan is your biological sister, and you three siblings were just kidding back then with those ridiculous contracts. Yun Nan has been independent for quite some time now, and it’s time for her to return to the Yun Corporation. This time, make sure you take good care of your sister. You’re her older
brother, after all..”
