Huo Jinning was a little worried when she left Xiaotan Town, but she was powerless to do anything about it and couldn't explain how she knew, so she could only trust her father and older brother.
Huo Nanchu remained at the police station cooperating with the police investigation until the next day when he returned to Beijing.
"Big brother, you're back? How are you?" Huo Jinning asked with concern after having just finished breakfast.
"The police have arrested a group of people and the case is still under investigation, but this is the largest organization involved in trafficking cultural relics that has been busted in recent years." Huo Nanchu's eyes were red and his face showed exhaustion.
Even my usually impeccably tailored suit has some wrinkles in certain places.
"What about Aunt Zhong and Hu Dana? Have they been caught?" Huo Jinning asked nervously.
"Yes, we discovered the criminal gang by following them, and they also have a lot of antiques, all stored in a basement," Huo Nanchu explained carefully, but couldn't help but yawn.
"Big brother, there's food in the kitchen. Have some and then go rest!" Huo Jinning could also tell that Huo Nanchu hadn't rested all night.
"Okay, sure." Huo Nanchu nodded.
"By the way, where are Mom and Dad?" Huo Nanchu was very surprised that she hadn't seen her parents so early in the morning.
"Oh? The Zhao family's daughter-in-law died in a car accident. They went to the memorial service," Huo Jinning replied.
"The Zhao family? Which Zhao family?" Huo Nanchu asked.
“It’s Zhao… Zhao Tianjia.” Huo Jinning thought for a moment.
The Zhao family and the Huo family only had some business dealings and their relationship was not very close.
"Oh, I understand." Huo Nanchu indicated that she understood.
"Big brother, go eat! After you finish eating, get some rest. Your eyes are all red," Huo Jinning urged.
"Okay, sure." Huo Nanchu said and went to the restaurant.
...
"Ningning, what are you doing?" Yue Yitang sent Huo Jinning a WeChat message.
"I'm at home, growing mushrooms, bored. [A mournful expression]"
"That's perfect, let's go shopping together."
"Great, could you send me the address?"
"OK."
...
Not long after, a discreetly luxurious car pulled up at the intersection of the pedestrian street.
The car door opened, and a beautiful leg in high heels stretched out. Then, a tall and beautiful woman stepped out of the car—it was Huo Jinning.
She wore a simple white dress, paired with exquisite jewelry, exuding an elegant temperament.
"Ningning, over here." Yue Yitang waved and called out when she saw Huo Jinning walking over from afar.
"Yes, I saw it." Huo Jinning walked up to Yue Yitang and said with a smile.
"Sister Yue, what brings you here today to go shopping with me?" Huo Jinning asked, her face full of doubt.
"After I got back, I thought about it and realized I have no acting skills, so what kind of actor am I? I might as well just retire from the industry and go home to relax," Yue Yitang replied casually.
"I'll have time every day from now on!" Yue Yitang smiled happily.
In fact, after returning home, Yue Yitang carefully considered her career path.
She was once full of passion and dedication to acting, but as time went by, she gradually realized that despite her efforts, she could never seem to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level.
In addition, the intense competition and increasing pressure in the entertainment industry over the past two years have left her feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
After careful consideration, Yue Yitang decided to let go of her obsession and leave the entertainment industry.
Although this decision was not easy, she believes it is also a way of taking responsibility for herself.
Now she has more freedom to arrange her own life and pursue what she truly loves.
As for Huo Jinning, she was both surprised and understanding when she heard Yue Yitang say that.
After all, everyone has their own choices and paths; the important thing is to find a lifestyle that suits you.
"Giving up so easily, don't you feel regret and pity?" Huo Jinning frowned and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"No way! I know perfectly well that I'm not cut out for acting, so why waste my precious time here?" Yue Yitang replied calmly and frankly.
“That makes sense. Since we’ve already tried our best, there’s no need to regret it. In fact, sometimes being able to decisively choose to cut our losses is a wise move.” Huo Jinning nodded thoughtfully, indicating her agreement.
“That’s right, you’re absolutely right! After all, this isn’t really suitable for me, but I might find a career that truly suits me in the future,” Yue Yitang said with anticipation.
"Yes, yes, that's only natural. In my opinion, with your outstanding looks and figure, you'd be perfect for being a model," Huo Jinning suggested to her half-jokingly.
"Come on, don't tease me! I'm already twenty-nine, almost thirty, how could I still be a model?" Yue Yitang retorted, both amused and exasperated.
"So what if you're twenty-nine? That's the prime of your life! Besides, you're only twenty-nine, in the prime of your youth, and a wonderful chapter of your life is just beginning."
"You know, there are even veteran models in foreign countries who are over ninety years old and still active on the runway!" Huo Jinning retorted confidently.
At this moment, she seemed to have completely forgotten about her earlier mockery of Ye Lan for being an old maid. Her obvious double standard was on full display.
That's such a double standard.
"Really? I can really be a model?" Yue Yitang asked in surprise.
