Jiang Jianian dotes on Ye Zhiwei and is almost a devoted husband. Although he has gradually become nicer to his daughter, Miss Ye is still the most important person in the family.

Jiang Siwei already knew a great deal when she was five years old.

Whenever she and Ye Zhiwei disagreed, Jiang Jianian would righteously tell Jiang Siwei that her mother was being unreasonable and that she should give in to her mother. She would also say that the first bite of any pastry in the house was for her mother, and the last strawberry in the house was for her mother.

At such a young age, she had to watch her parents being all lovey-dovey and often forget about her.

Jiang Siwei felt wronged and pitiful, and she finally decided to run away from home.

They got into the car arranged by Jiang Jianian and went to their aunt Ye Yingying's place.

A five-year-old girl, arriving alone in a luxury car, went to meet with national film star Ye Yingying late at night, causing a stir among reporters who could never catch a glimpse of Ye Yingying's scandals.

The news that the actress was suspected of having an illegitimate daughter quickly spread like wildfire.

The internet is always a breeding ground for imagination. What started as a suspected illegitimate child has evolved into a story about actress Ye Yingying being kept by a sugar daddy and allegedly abandoned after giving birth to an illegitimate child.

The more she traveled through time, the more outrageous it became, even leading fans to suggest that Ye Yingying was a surrogate mother while she was still filming at the time.

Netizens have incredibly rich imaginations, creating a fabricated life story for Ye Yingying: Although Ye Qingcheng outwardly seems to have accepted her as a daughter, Ye Yingying has never truly been acknowledged by the Ye family and is bullied by the vicious eldest daughter, Ye Zhiwei (although the two always claim to be sisters, who knows if it's genuine). Despite the Ye family's glamorous facade, they are extremely harsh on their adopted daughter, forcing Ye Yingying to start acting while still in high school. Later, she connects with the Yu family through filming the drama "Yu Shishu," and although she repeatedly denies it publicly, she is actually already a caged girl of the Yu family's eldest son—

This article spread widely, becoming almost mythical in its later stages. Under pressure from her agent, Ye Yingying even made the following statements: First, the child is definitely not mine. Of course, if the president of IV Group is willing to give me his daughter, I would be happy to accept Tuanzi. Second, if the vicious heiress Ye Zhiwei really wants to bully me, then I am willing to kneel at Zhiwei's pretty miniskirt. Third, I have someone I like, and it has nothing to do with the Yu family. Finally, although I've been filming, I've also been doing some financial management and investment because of Zhiwei. While I wouldn't dare say my assets are comparable to the Yu family's, they're at least more than the pocket money they give me. [laughs] Actually, I didn't want to respond, but my agent reminded me that I have an award nomination recently, and I should be mindful of public opinion.

The news caused another media frenzy. Statements and such were unimportant; what mattered was that Ye Yingying actually had someone she liked. So, the paparazzi had been following her for so long, mistaking her niece for her daughter, but hadn't managed to capture a single scandal.

After causing a lot of trouble for her aunt Ye Yingying, the little princess was caught by Ye Zhiwei, who came to visit in person. After being spanked a few times, the little princess whimpered that she wanted to earn money to support herself and wanted to go on TV with Ye Yingying to earn money instead of being supported by her mother. Unfortunately, her protest did not last long before she was attracted by Jiang Jianian, who also came to visit with pastries.

The little princess was taken home after all.

The paparazzi didn't have the courage to release photos of IV Group President Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei entering and leaving Ye Yingying's residence. After staking out for several days, they still couldn't find Ye Yingying's rumored boyfriend and had to let it go. Some even suspected that Ye Yingying was deliberately playing them for a fool. When Ye Yingying won her third Best Actress award, she held the golden statuette and smiled into the microphone, saying, "This is my third time winning this award. I'm 28 years old this year. Since entering the entertainment industry, I haven't dated any men or had any scandals involving intimate contact. I've focused on acting and honing my skills, trying to improve myself. Every time I experience a different role, I learn new skills. I've learned tea ceremony, traditional Chinese painting, psychology, and languages ​​other than English—I've experienced many different lives, but they've always been lives in plays. Now, I want to start a new chapter in my life. I have someone I like, and I want to be in love."

“This person waited for me for a long time. I told him I didn’t want to be a woman who depended on a man, so he stepped down from the stage at the height of his career. I told him I didn’t want to be in a relationship right now, so he stood by my side as a friend, only reaching out when I needed him. He is very gentlemanly. We have never had any intimate behavior, and we rarely even eat alone. His career is also becoming more and more successful now, but he has always had a good temper. He can reject all the women who show interest in him, he can comfort me when I am anxious, and he can stay by my side even when I refuse to keep my distance time and time again. I admit that at first I was just touched, but after being touched countless times, I still fell in love.”

"Now that I've received this award and I'm standing on this stage, I want to ask you in the audience: would you still be willing to date me?" Ye Yingying looked at the man standing in the audience clapping, his face showing shock and obvious flattery, and smiled: "Yes, I'm talking about you, Xu Yanshen."

This sparked an explosive round of applause from the audience, and the internet was temporarily paralyzed due to Ye Yingying's announcement of her relationship.

Even when I open the internet, most of the messages I see are blessings.

Only in the Hongguang Film and Television building, there is a man sitting in front of his computer working overtime late at night.

He wasn't uninvited to the awards ceremony; he did consider going to see the girl he missed late at night, but in the end, he held back.

This was his last act of dignity: not to disturb.

This is how his life is going to be. His relationship with Duan Meiyuan is growing more and more distant, the atmosphere at home is getting worse and worse, and he is getting older and older. He keeps waiting, not even knowing what he is waiting for. But after seeing the news that Ye Yingying is proposing to Xu Yanshen, he suddenly realized that he was still unwilling to give up.

But his extreme unwillingness to accept defeat prevented him from doing anything inappropriate, as his last shred of dignity prevented him from doing anything out of line.

That's all we can do. Maybe that's all there is to it.

He turned on his phone, calling Duan Meiyuan for the first time in nearly eight years. He lowered his voice and compromised, saying, "I'm free tomorrow for the one you introduced before."

Duan Meiyuan was also quiet for a long time. Over the years, her hatred for her children and her resentment towards herself had gradually worn away. She seemed to gradually understand what she had done wrong, but she never admitted it. Until now, when she saw her eldest son, whom she had always been proud of, lower his proud head, her emotions suddenly surged. After a long time, she said, "Jingchen, Mom... I'm sorry."

Even though there hadn't been any arguments recently, Yu Jingchen still understood what he meant by that sudden sentence.

The man didn't say anything, he just sat in front of the computer with his phone for a long time, and finally he numbly hung up the phone.
