Chapter 30: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry

  Chapter 30: Full of Evil Schemes

Yan Zhixu sat in a traditional Chinese-style chair, brewed a cup of tea, and took a sip. Her gaze fell on the two people in the living room.

Her younger brother sat on the couch, absorbed in his phone, playing a game. His head was lowered, and he was completely focused, not sparing a glance at her.

The other person sat on the couch, eyes fixed on the TV screen. The latest large-scale costume fantasy drama, Sword Immortal, was airing, and the male lead was the award-winning actor Rong Cheng, whose performance had topped the ratings.

Great. Neither of them seemed willing to acknowledge her.

Yan Zhixu put her cup down and sighed. She spoke pointedly, "It's been a while since I’ve been here. I’ve gotten used to the habits of my single apartment rather than this place."

Her voice echoed through the living room.

 

Both of them froze at the same time, as if someone had pressed a pause button on them.

Nan Wenshu put down the remote control.

"Sweetheart, you’re finally home! I’ve missed you so much," she said, with a sorrowful expression. "You don’t know how hard it’s been without you. I couldn’t eat or sleep, constantly worrying that someone might be bullying you outside!"

Her words were full of emotion, and she wiped away imaginary tears, sniffling as if she were a mother deeply concerned for her child.

Yan Zhixu placed her hand on the table and ruthlessly exposed her act. "Mom, if you actually shed a couple of tears, it would make this story a lot more convincing."

Nan Wenshu: "......"

Very well, her daughter’s sharp tongue was back, just like before. It was clear that this was her biological daughter.

Nan Wenshu pulled out a tissue and wiped around her eyes, rubbing her nose until it turned red, trying to make it look like she had just cried.

"Ah, Ah Xu, you have to know that your mother always loves you," she said, with an exaggerated tone.

Yan Jinxiu: "......"

Why does that sound so fake?

He paused his game, and his character met an unfortunate end.

Yan Zhixu pointed at the screen, her eyes glinting, and quickly pulled out her phone. "Oh? So, who do you like more, Rong Cheng or me?"

"Of course, it’s Rong Cheng," Nan Wenshu said without hesitation. "I can always have another daughter, but Rong Cheng is one of a kind. He’s rare and has to fight off so many fans. He’s a real treasure."

She said this so confidently.

Nan Wenshu tossed the tissue into the trash can and turned back to watch TV.

Yan Zhixu grinned widely.

She shook her phone in her hand. "Mom, I’ll let Dad know. I’ll tell him you want to have a little sister."

Upon hearing this, Nan Wenshu froze, her attention pulled away from the show’s climax.

Her husband was extremely jealous. If he heard her saying that, she’d likely end up with a sore back for a long time and have a hard time getting out of bed.

Nan Wenshu clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, eyes wide with sorrow as she sniffled. "Ah Xu, my darling, my little sweetheart, could you please not tell your dad about this?"

She tried to win sympathy with her watery eyes.

Yan Zhixu was completely unaffected, showing no sign of pity.

"Sorry, Ms. Nan. That message has already been sent to Dad’s phone."

Her cold, ruthless words were like a thunderclap in Nan Wenshu’s ears.

She hugged the pillow and leaned back on the couch, feeling utterly defeated.

"Mom, I’m just thinking about your ‘happiness’ in life," Yan Zhixu said with a teasing smile.

"Believe you? I know you too well. You’re full of evil schemes. Stay away from me," Nan Wenshu retorted playfully, but there was no real anger in her eyes—only warmth.

"......"

Yan Jinxiu’s smirk deepened as he sped up his gaming movements, easily winning the match.
