Chapter 2



"Two years ago, Yan Chaochao and Cheng Aotian met and fell in love at the agency. At that time, Yan Chaochao was already a debuted artist, but Cheng Aotian was still a trainee."

"Training at the agency isn't free; it charges a hefty fee. Cheng Aotian often played the victim in front of Yan Chaochao, saying he couldn't afford the fees and couldn't realize his dream of standing on stage. So Yan Chaochao, despite her modest income, paid him 100,000 yuan for training. Later, when Cheng Aotian participated in a talent show, Yan Chaochao also gave him over a million yuan, essentially spending all the money she'd saved in the years since her debut."

"As a result, Cheng Aotian broke up with Yan Chaochao shortly after his debut in the talent show. He blocked her phone number, deleted her as a friend, and completely lost contact with her."

"So Yan Chaochao blocked Cheng Aotian's apartment building, wanting to get an explanation from him. The whole tug-of-war was filmed and posted online, with rumors accusing her of seducing Cheng Aotian and even running down to his building."

At this point, Yan Chaochao suddenly felt his fist itching: "After that, Yan Chaochao never went to look for Cheng Aotian again."

Just a few short sentences gave Yan Xixi's worldview an unprecedented impact.

Although Cheng Aotian has not yet reached the point where he can call the shots in the entertainment industry like in the second half of the plot, he has now successfully debuted in a talent show and appears on the hot search list every day. He is the most popular male star today, without a doubt.

Even if Yan Xixi doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, the three words "Cheng Aotian" will appear on the list of recommended artists for cooperation and be handed to her.

In the plot, Yan Chaochao was unable to love Cheng Aotian, and because of love she turned into hatred. She tried to use the power of the Yan family to target Cheng Aotian. In the end, not only did she lose her reputation, but she also dragged the Yan family into the bottomless abyss.

But in the story told by Yan Chaochao, Cheng Aotian was the scumbag who turned his back on his girlfriend after becoming famous, and even caused his ex-girlfriend to lose her family.

Every time Yan Chaochao spoke, Yan Xixi's brain went blank for a moment. By the time Yan Chaochao finished speaking, Yan Xixi's brain had become stuck in a PPT.

At this moment of shock, Yan Xixi remembered the unpleasant words she had heard at the door just now.

If Yan Xixi had not experienced that bizarre dream and personally verified its authenticity, it would probably be difficult for her to believe what Yan Chaochao had just said.

After all, who can believe that the top male star who is isolated from scandals in front of the screen is actually a scumbag who abandoned his girlfriend after becoming famous and has multiple girlfriends at the same time?

Even for her, a bystander, it was irritating enough, let alone Yan Chaochao, the person involved?

"You must be very sad..." Yan Xixi looked at Yan Chaochao, her eyes filled with astonishment and sympathy.

No wonder in the dream, Yan Chaochao targeted Cheng Aotian so madly, and in the end even used a mentality close to self-destruction to drag the other party to hell.

To be fair, if she encountered something like Yan Chaochao, she would probably find it difficult to accept it.

The ex-boyfriend who had used her up abandoned all their past love, became successful and famous, and was loved by everyone on the stage.

The ex-girlfriend who was dumped gave her heart and money and entrusted all her love to her boyfriend, but her career and love were destroyed by the boyfriend she loved.

With such a disparity, how can one not hate it? !

Yan Xixi sighed in her heart.

If she had wanted to persuade Yan Chaochao not to target Cheng Aotian before coming here, then after hearing this story, she had almost given up on this idea.

After a while, Yan Xixi seemed to have finally made up her mind and looked up at Yan Chaochao resolutely: "How do you want to deal with him? Maybe I can help you."

Although the Yan family's business is not too involved in the entertainment industry, if a public relations campaign really needs to be launched, Yan Xixi still has some confidence in facing Cheng Aotian who is currently in the early stages of his career.

Yan Chaochao looked at Yan Xixi, who was suddenly full of fighting spirit, and said calmly: "The methods I have thought of so far don't seem to conform to the laws of this era..."

At this point, Yan Chaozhao paused, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have any way to change the current law?"

Yan Xixi: “…”

Yan Xixi: "No."

In the face of Yan Xixi's indescribable look, the light in Yan Chaozhao's eyes instantly went out. She nodded, "Then I'll have to think of a legal way again."

Yan Xixi: ...

In her dream, how come she didn't realize that Yan Chaochao actually had the potential of Zhang San?!

***

In the early morning, Yan's parents rushed to the hospital exhausted.

When two strange auras appeared at the door, Yan Chaochao opened her eyes and subconsciously tensed her arms. Then she realized that she had traveled to a peaceful era.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Chaochao closed his eyes the moment the door opened, adjusted his breathing, and pretended to be asleep.

In the darkness, she heard two footsteps slowly approaching the bed.

"This is our daughter..." The man's voice was so soft that it seemed to be just a breath, and there was an indescribable complexity in the voice.

Disbelief, surprise, excitement, joy...

All the emotions seem to be melted into this sentence.

"She's too thin..." The woman's voice just started to ring out, and she couldn't help crying. "She must have suffered so much outside these years..."

The moment the crying voice sounded, Yan Chaochao, who was dozing with her eyes closed, felt as if her heart was pulled. Her hands under the sheets pinched the sheets helplessly.

"Don't cry. Aren't we back now? ... The regrets of the past can no longer be redeemed, but we can fill in the gaps bit by bit over the next twenty years, or even longer..."

With the man's comfort, the woman finally stopped crying.

Then the woman leaned over and stared at the girl on the hospital bed for a long time.

The distance between the two was so close that Yan Chaochao could even feel her breath.

Finally, the woman carefully and tenderly twirled the corner of Yan Chaozhao's quilt and spoke slowly with a choked sob, "I'm glad you're back."

There are only four words, but they seem to contain more than 20 years.

The moment the door closed, Yan Chaochao opened his eyes.

After living in the apocalypse for so many years, Yan Chaochao has never experienced such a feeling.

She tilted her head back blankly, stroking the remaining warmth on the corner of the quilt with her fingertips.

Family...?

***

Perhaps because of the temperature last night, the next day, when Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan cautiously proposed to take her home, Yan Chaochao hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

When the four of them came out of the hospital, the stretched luxury car that Yan Xixi had arranged was already parked at the door.

At 12 noon, Yan Chaochao stepped into the Yan family villa for the first time.

The Yan family villa is located in the city center, but there are no tall buildings around it. Instead, it is surrounded by greenery. The car stopped at the gate and drove along the stone road through the Yan family's private garden before entering the villa.

Yan Chaochao was not clear about the current situation, so she just casually said "hmm" and waited for what would happen next.

In the eyes of Yan's parents and Yan Xixi, Yan Chaochao's eyes revealed loneliness and helplessness, as if he was very unfamiliar with the environment in front of him. Even his voice was very soft, like a timid little rabbit.

There was a flash of heartache in Pei Lan's eyes, and Yan Hongzhuo's hand under the table trembled unconsciously.

Then, Yan Hongzhuo placed a document in front of Yan Chaochao.

"You've suffered a lot out there these years. Last night, your mother and I had a long discussion about what to do after you return, and we came up with two options. The first option is that if you don't want to manage the company, your father and I will make arrangements for you, allowing you to easily do whatever you want. The second option is that if you do want to manage the company, we will arrange courses for you from now on..."

Hearing the same words as in the plot, Yan Xixi had a blank expression on her face and just sighed silently in her heart.

Even if she moved the time forward so much, is there still no way to change the plot?

In the dream, it was after this conversation that Yan Chaochao proposed to manage the company, which marked the beginning of the struggle for management rights of the Yan family.

If Yan Chaochao really had the ability to manage the company, Yan Xixi wouldn't be unwilling to let him go. However, Yan Chaochao, who had just joined the company, had the ambition to compete for management power but no management ability, and was even played around by his assistants.

In the dream, Yan Xixi didn't know how many times she had cleaned up the mess for Yan Chaochao. In the end, Yan's enterprise lost a lot of talents in the constant internal strife, and the stock price fell. Otherwise, when facing the attack from Cheng Aotian and his confidante, there would be almost no room for fighting back.

Just as Yan Xixi was waiting for Yan Chaochao to say the words in her dream, "I want to manage the company," she heard Yan Chaochao's voice—

"I'm very happy that you found me, and I'm willing to return to the Yan family. But..."

“I have no interest in managing the company.”
