Chapter 17: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 17: The Drama Queen Nan Wen Shu
“Ah… Ah Xu… I… I…”
Lu Xun was so nervous that his words stumbled, unable to explain himself clearly for a long time.
Yan Zhixu straightened up. "It looks quite good."
Her sincere reassurance calmed Lu Xun's anxious heart, and he slightly relaxed, his voice trembling with excitement. “Really?”
“Mhm.” There was no contempt or mockery in her eyes as she turned and walked toward the room.
Lu Xun's tense expression softened, and he let out a breath of relief. Twisting his slender waist, he grabbed his high heels and followed her into the apartment.
“Make yourself at home.”
Yan Zhixu poured him a glass of water and sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding her computer.
Lu Xun held the glass with both hands, taking a small sip. He looked at her, troubled and guilty. “Ah Xu, about what's going on online…”
....
....
He felt useless, lacking connections. Otherwise, Ah Xu wouldn't have been dragged through the mud like this.
“I know about it. I’ll handle it,” she said, her hands resting confidently on the keyboard. Her demeanor was calm, yet assertive, making one believe in her words.
Self-recommending for the bed?
The woman occupying her body in another world might be brainless, but she had never sold herself in the entertainment industry.
As for Director Huang, he had been drunk at the celebration party, and Mo An'an had asked her to help him back to his room.
The foolish girl from another world agreed, but once inside the room, the drunk director tried to make improper advances.
With a bad temper, she didn’t hesitate to beat him up and stormed out of the room.
Unfortunately, reporters lurking outside captured misleading photos and videos.
That same man had used those photos to blackmail the otherworldly girl for a large sum of money. Now, he was turning around and exposing her, stirring up trouble.
Click—
The room was quiet, and the sound of typing was the only noise.
A few keystrokes later, the information of the reporter who had leaked the story appeared on the screen.
She was preparing to invade his privacy when…
“Ding—”
The phone’s ringtone shattered the quiet atmosphere.
Lu Xun anxiously stared at Yan Zhixu, worried it was something serious.
She set her computer aside, picked up the phone, and saw the caller ID: Mom.
Swiping the screen to answer, a warm, emotional voice came through the receiver.
“Darling, life in the entertainment industry is so hard for you. Just look at how the netizens have dragged you through the mud.”
“Wuwuwu, our Yan family’s daughter doesn’t deserve this kind of suffering!”
“Come home and take over the family business. If not, just stay home and live off us. We may not be rich, but we can always feed you.”
On the other end of the phone…
The woman sitting in the living room pretended to be heartbroken, reaching out to wipe away imaginary tears from the corners of her eyes.
She squeezed for a while, but not a single tear came out. She almost considered using the eye drops on the coffee table to put in her eyes.
Yan Zhixu took the phone away from her ear and rubbed her ear.
"Mom, it's just a small thing, don't worry."
Nan Wen Shu blinked in surprise. "My daughter, your head has recovered from being kicked by a donkey? Which famous doctor treated you? I need to thank them with a large sum of money."
Since her daughter had the car accident two years ago, she hadn't called her "mom" once.
She didn’t come home, didn’t go to school, and insisted on entering the entertainment industry.
Was today a day when the sun rose from the west? She was actually speaking in such a gentle tone.
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly. "Mom, next time try putting some effort into your acting. This scene is a bit rushed."
Her mom was still the same old drama queen.
Nan Wen Shu awkwardly put the eye drops away. "Cough cough, what do you know? I may get out of character quickly, but I also get into character fast."
She could be harsh, but she was still her biological daughter.
The maid standing nearby turned her gaze 45 degrees upward, pretending not to see this scene.
Yan Zhixu didn’t continue to argue. "Alright, alright. I’ll hang up now. I’ll come visit you in a few days."
The otherworldly girl had been determined to enter the entertainment industry back then, and the relationship with her family had soured.
Their personalities were too different. Perhaps out of fear of being exposed, she began to visit home less and less, eventually moving into the company-assigned apartment.
"...That girl."
After the phone call ended, Nan Wen Shu chuckled softly and cursed her with a hint of affection.
"...."
The boy who had just walked into the living room took off his headphones and casually stuffed them into his pocket.
His messy hair looked wild, with strands of hair in his forehead damp with sweat, giving him a sexy, untamed look.
Seeing Nan Wen Shu in the midst of her dramatic antics, he chose to ignore her as usual.
The maid, who had been bringing fruit, saw this and smiled brightly. "Young master, welcome home. I’ve prepared some fruit for you."
"Thanks, Aunt Wang."
He stopped in his tracks, casually tossing his school bag on the sofa.
He sat down lazily, crossed his legs, picked up a fork, and shoved a piece of fruit into his mouth, his movements lazy and rebellious.
"Your sister will be back in a few days."
As soon as Nan Wen Shu finished speaking, Yan Jinxiu slammed the fork he was holding onto the table.
"Don’t mention her in front of me."
She had said it herself that he wasn't her brother, and told him to stay far away and not bother her.
Yan Jinxiu stood up, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a wolf cub in the dark night.
Noticing his anger, the golden retriever nearby wagged its tail and walked up to him, biting his pant leg. "Woof, woof..."
Seeing the playful dog, his fury suddenly dissipated.
He squatted down, roughly picking up the golden retriever and patting its soft fur as he headed upstairs.
"Sigh... This child..."
Nan Wen Shu rubbed her forehead, her expression full of complexity. The relationship between the siblings had always been good in the past.
"But... I don’t think the relationship is beyond repair, right?"
Just now, Jinxiu had been carrying the dog upstairs, which Ah Xu had personally raised before.
