Chapter 36: Full-scale Boss Has Become the Top Streamer In the Entertainment Industry

   Chapter 36: The Has-Been

After washing up, she changed into a fresh outfit.

Her style remained simple: a white crop top that barely reached her navel, revealing a glimpse of her slender, snowy waist with the slightest movement.

She paired it with loose, high-waisted wide-leg pants and completed the look with black canvas sneakers.

On anyone else, this outfit could have been a disaster, but with her tall and graceful figure, it looked effortlessly chic.

When she went downstairs, Yan Jinxu was already gone—most likely off to school—leaving only Nan Wenshu in the dining room.

Yan Zhixu found a seat, picked up the bowl of millet porridge in front of her, and took a spoonful. The warm, delicate flavor filled her taste buds.

Seeing her daughter in a good mood, Nan Wenshu’s face brightened, though her hesitation was clear.

“Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

Yan Zhixu put down her spoon and raised her gaze to her immaculately groomed, beautiful mother.

“Ah Xu, your grandfather is in the hospital. Would you consider visiting him?”

The old man had been hospitalized for a while. Every time she visited, he would always talk about wanting to see his granddaughter.

Yan Zhixu replied without hesitation, “Alright.”

After taking over her body, the otherworldly soul had defied her family’s objections and joined the entertainment industry.

Grandfather had always disliked the entertainment world, leading to heated arguments that strained their relationship.

When he fell ill, the soul in her body barely visited him, and when she did, their encounters ended in discord.

“You’ve agreed? That’s wonderful!” Nan Wenshu beamed, elated. She had prepared a long speech to persuade her daughter, but it seemed unnecessary now.

She turned and called toward the kitchen, “Aunt Wang! Bring the prepared food box over; Ah Xu is going to the hospital to visit the old man.”

“Coming, coming!” Aunt Wang hurried out, carrying a meticulously packed food box.

Looking at Yan Zhixu as she ate her breakfast, Aunt Wang’s face showed relief. “Miss, it’s good to see you coming around.”

As the saying goes, grudges within a family never last long. Blood is thicker than water. This time, it seemed Miss Yan had changed for the better.

Hopefully, this visit would allow her to reconcile with the old man, turning hostility into harmony.

“Mm.”

Watching the interaction between Nan Wenshu and Aunt Wang, Yan Zhixu easily saw through their little scheme.

She wasn’t bothered and glanced at her mother, whose expression radiated pride and joy. Lowering her head, she chuckled softly.

Fine, even if she’s silly and naive, she’s still my mother. She deserves my indulgence.

After quickly finishing her porridge, Yan Zhixu wiped her mouth and headed upstairs.

“Ah Xu, where are you going?” Nan Wenshu’s nerves were on edge, her hands fidgeting anxiously.

They had just agreed to this—what if Ah Xu backed out at the last moment?

Without pausing her steps, Yan Zhixu replied lazily, “Grabbing something.”

When she came back down, she was carrying a baseball cap, a set of keys, and a face mask.

“I’m leaving.”

She swiftly put on the cap, pulled up the mask, grabbed the food box, and strode toward the door.

Aunt Wang clapped her hands. “Miss is a celebrity now, after all. She has to be cautious when going out.”

Watching her daughter’s retreating figure, Nan Wenshu blinked in surprise, then laughed awkwardly. “Ah, really… Is that so?”

Truthfully, she wanted to point out that her daughter was just a has-been. Hardly anyone would recognize her, so these precautions weren’t exactly necessary.
