She paced anxiously on the floor in her high heels. The more she did this, the less she could think of a good solution. Her assistant was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word and could only stand by and watch her.
She looked at her assistant with annoyance and angrily scolded, "What use are you? Pack your things and get out of here."
The assistant nodded as if granted a pardon, saying, "It's Sister Xinrou."
She quickly finished cleaning and left, leaving Liu Xinrou sitting there alone, trying to figure out what to do.
When Gu Xiaotian returned home, Gu Anran happily prepared a large table of dishes and invited Yu Hui to celebrate together.
When Yu Hui heard that Gu Xiaotian was back, she was even happier than Gu Anran. She bought a bunch of fruit and food to visit Gu Xiaotian.
As soon as he entered, he shouted loudly, "Xiao Tian, come and help me, I can't carry this anymore!"
Gu Xiaotian ran over with his short legs and, displaying his manly courage, helped with the thing.
Hearing the noise, Gu Anran poked her head out from the kitchen and said resentfully, "You're here. Why did you buy so much stuff when you already have it all at home?"
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Gu Anran looked at Yu Hui with a big smile and said, "I'm in a good mood today. Let's have a drink later to celebrate Xiaotian's successful filming."
Yu Hui clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, let's drink until we drop! No, if I get drunk, I'll sleep here. You can't complain about me."
Gu Anran twitched her lips speechlessly and teased, "When have I ever complained? Besides, I feel like you're the one who's the host."
Yu Hui covered her face and laughed shyly, saying, "Don't worry about these details, hurry up and cook, I'm starving."
Gu Anran jokingly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."
Everyone smiled at each other and went about their own business.
They happily celebrated Xiaotian's successful filming together, and Gu Anran and Yu Hui drank a lot of alcohol.
The two leaned against each other and talked for a long time, from the past to the present, with both joy and sorrow.
Yu Hui's eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Gu Anran and asked, "Anran, what would you do if it really was Ye Lichuan one night?"
Gu Anran shook her head to clear her mind and thought for a moment: "It's probably not very likely, after all, someone like him is too far removed from me."
She hiccuped, hugged Yu Hui, leaned on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "If it really is him, I will leave with Xiao Tian."
Yu Hui sat up abruptly, frowned at her, and asked, "Why don't you give it a try with him? What if it works out?"
Gu Anran smiled and shook her head: "Impossible."
After driving home in a state of frustration, Liu Xinrou couldn't eat or sleep, and began to think about how to deal with Gu Anran and her son.
She felt that everything she had built had collapsed since Gu Anran and her son appeared, and Ye Lichuan was getting further and further away from her. She was filled with hatred.
After thinking it over, she took out her phone and dialed a number that had been dormant for five years. She hadn't contacted him since his mother died.
When the call connected, the other party said in a gloomy tone, "You still remember to call me? So, what's up?"
Her venomous eyes seemed to be coated with poison as she gripped her phone tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she remained unmoved. A fierce fire of jealousy surged within her, threatening to consume her entirely.
Liu Xinrou briefly explained her situation, her voice turning icy cold at the end. She gripped the phone tightly and said unhappily, "That woman from back then is still alive. She's back, and she's pregnant with Ye Lichuan's child."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then a calm voice said, "Yes, I will handle these matters."
Liu Xinrou was driven to near madness, almost tearing her reason apart. She said viciously, "What I want is for them to disappear from this world forever."
Her angry voice was heard by her mother, who was passing by. Liu's mother knocked on the door, puzzled, and heard Liu Xinrou shout angrily, "Who is it?"
The mother stood outside the door and asked worriedly, "Rou'er, what's wrong?"
Liu Xinrou hung up the phone, opened the door, and threw herself into her mother's arms, crying pitifully.
She recounted all her recent misfortunes before sobbing as she said, "That bitch Gu Anran didn't die. She's back, and she even gave birth to Ye Lichuan's child."
She pulled her mother to sit on the bed and said painfully, "Mom, what should I do?"
"I get annoyed whenever I see her now, and I feel like I could strangle her."
Liu's mother calmly patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "If you want to be Ye Lichuan's woman, then you must keep your composure. What kind of behavior is it to be so anxious and jumping around over such a small matter?"
"Where is the demeanor of the lady of the night?"
Liu Xinrou was spoiled from a young age and developed many bad habits. No matter how bad she was, in her mother's eyes she was the best.
A sinister glint flashed in Liu's mother's eyes, but she smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, isn't it easy to crush her? It's like crushing an ant. Don't be afraid, Mom is here."
"I won't let that bitch get away with it."
Two weeks later, when Liu Xinrou heard the news of Gu Xiaotian's rise to fame, flames of jealousy and hatred ignited in her eyes. She gripped the water glass tightly in her hand and smashed it to the ground with a loud crash...
The assistant, terrified by the noise, stood outside the door, trembling and afraid to make a sound. A moment later, a piercing shout rang out: "Get in here! Are you dead out there? Can't you hear me?"
The assistant bowed and apologized fearfully, "Sister Xinrou, I'm sorry, it's my fault, please don't be angry."
Liu Xinrou angrily slapped her assistant across the face: "Slap! What do I need you for, you idiot? Get out of here and help me check Gu Xiaotian's recent schedule."
The assistant nodded frantically, saying nervously as she cleaned, "Okay, Sister Xinrou, I'll take care of it right away."
Liu Xinrou shook her hand and angrily cursed, "You stupid idiot who only grows a body but not a brain."
After Gu Xiaotian became famous, he was extremely busy every day, shooting various promotional videos and taking photos.
Gu Anran stood at a distance, looking at her beloved son with heartache, her face beaming with a happy smile.
After taking the photos, Gu Xiaotian ran over to find Gu Anran. She picked him up and looked at her son with concern, asking, "Are you tired?"
Gu Xiaotian, looking like a little man, shook his head at her: "It's alright, the director uncle took good care of me."
Gu Xiaotian sat in Gu Anran's arms, happily swinging his little feet.
Gu Anran has been extremely busy with work lately, and Ye Lichuan, for some unknown reason, keeps finding various excuses to get her to come upstairs every day. Today, however, he finished work early and took the time to pick up Gu Xiaotian.
Holding Gu Xiaotian in her arms, Gu Anran felt all her fatigue disappear; he was the source of her energy to move forward.
She was still immersed in happiness and did not notice Liu Xinrou walking towards her from a distance.
Liu Xinrou walked over arrogantly, looked at Gu Anran with disdain and sneered, "Don't think that a crow can turn into a phoenix. A crow will always be a crow."
