Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Raising a Star (33)

Jian Dan left first.

As soon as she left, Chuzheng told Wen Yanyu about the incident right away.

The next day’s headlines exploded with news of Chu Anyang’s new romance, with Jian Dan captured very clearly in the photos—she was recognized by everyone.

When Jian Dan saw it, she was quite pleased; now she could openly be with him.

She lacked nothing financially and didn’t care about her future in the entertainment industry.

What she had always wanted was Chu Anyang.

However, Jian Dan’s happiness did not last long before she received a call from the Chu Family, asking her to come over.

As soon as Jian Dan hung up the phone, Chu Anyang also called.

“Anyang, the Chu Family… asked me to come over,” Jian Dan said before Chu Anyang could speak, telling him about the earlier matter.

There was silence on Chu Anyang’s end for a few seconds, “Did you agree?”

“…Yeah.” His mother had personally called; could she have refused?

Although Jian Dan had been with Chu Anyang secretly for many years, she had never formally met Mrs. Chu.

“Don’t go. I’ll take care of it.”

Chu Anyang didn’t say much more, hung up the phone, and hurried back to the Chu Family.

–

Chuzheng was somewhat bored looking at the roses on the table, Wen Yanyu sitting opposite her, her makeup delicate and behavior proper.

Wen Yanyu had come over on her own, and Chuzheng didn’t know what she wanted.

“Miss Chi, do you know why Chu Anyang doesn’t dare make his relationship with Jian Dan public?”

“I don’t know.” The original owner didn’t know until she died, so how could she be clear about it?

“Because Chu Anyang doesn’t dare let his mother know he’s dating Jian Dan,” Wen Yanyu took a sip of coffee, “Jian Dan’s mother once had a murky relationship with Chu Anyang’s father…”

“Jian Dan is Chu Anyang’s sister?” Shocked, what kind of relationship was this?

Wen Yanyu laughed, “Of course not. Jian Dan’s mother and Uncle Chu were both involved when Jian Dan and Chu Anyang were already born.”

Oh.

That was an affair after marriage.

The tycoon circles are full of gossip.

“If both of them had an affair, can you imagine how angry Aunt Chu would be?” Wen Yanyu continued, “Now it’s Aunt Chu who calls the shots in the Chu Family, and Uncle Chu passed away a few years ago due to illness.”

“…” Oh my, it wasn’t Mrs. Chu who killed him, right?

Wen Yanyu’s fingers, painting her nails, pinched a little spoon stirring her coffee as if she knew what Chuzheng was thinking, and explained, “He died of a terminal illness.”

“But to Aunt Chu, this matter is an absolutely unmentionable past.”

“So, she would absolutely not allow Chu Anyang and Jian Dan to be together.”

“Do you understand?”

Chuzheng suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and asked expressionlessly, “Why are you telling me this?”

“You’ve been Jian Dan’s shield for so long, you should at least know why,” Wen Yanyu said, “The real drama is just starting.”

Wen Yanyu stood up, grabbed her bag, and put on her sunglasses, “Miss Chi, see you again.”

Chuzheng watched Wen Yanyu leave, her figure elegant and graceful.

Such a beauty, why did she like Chu Anyang?

Completely incomprehensible.

Now that Jian Dan was known to Chu Anyang’s mother, it wasn’t just Wen Yanyu’s little commotion.

Chuzheng could only say—girls should not be easily offended, remembering grudges online.

[Like you?] King’s Account couldn’t help but tease, Sister, when you remember grudges, you’re just like a champion in the grudge-holding world.

Chuzheng: What are you doing out here?

[Issuing a task.] King’s Account said: [Main mission: Please purchase a skyscraper within one month.]

A whole… skyscraper?

Not just a floor.

But an entire skyscraper.

Does it think it’s a utility pole standing on the ground, that if you stick a poster on it, it becomes your skyscraper?

You bastard, you damn thing, why don’t you just die?!

[Sister, our System doesn’t have issues with dying or not dying, only offline and online.] King’s Account cheerfully corrected Chuzheng.

–

While Chuzheng was busy buying the building… no, the skyscraper, Jian Dan was being miserably tormented by Chu Anyang’s mother.

Chu Anyang’s mother didn’t outright blacklist her but caused her some “accidents.”

Every time Jian Dan encountered trouble, her colleagues in the industry and her fans could initially sympathize with her.

However, when it kept happening, her naive and pure persona started to wear thin and began to annoy people.

All Chu Anyang’s mother needed to do was to pay for another round of internet water army to utterly tarnish Jian Dan.

As a favor, Chuzheng took care of this task for her.

Even later, with the support of Chu Anyang and the Jian Family, facing the mounting public opinion, Jian Dan felt the pressure increasing day by day.

And netizens, realizing how Jian Dan could still show up despite everything, couldn’t help but admire her powerful connections.

“Sister Chuzheng, Brother Wang’s flight is tonight.”

Liang Xi reminded Chuzheng.

Chuzheng blurted out, “He’s coming back today?”

“…Yes…yes,” Liang Xi said weakly, “Didn’t you know?”

Chuzheng: “…”

Too busy buying the building, she had forgotten.

Feng Wang would arrive at the airport at eight o’clock tonight.

Although Feng Wang didn’t really have serious fans, his good looks still drew some who would stake out his itinerary.

“Hubby! Hubby!! Hubby hubby!!”

“Ahhh ahhh ahhh…”

“Hubby!! Look at me!”

As soon as Feng Wang stepped out, he heard loud, excited voices.

He adjusted his mask and hoodie, hoping to keep a low profile, but then he saw a crowd rushing off in the other direction.

Feng Wang: “…”

Feng Wang’s assistant quickly said, “Brother Feng, let’s hurry and go to avoid being recognized and getting mobbed.”

Feng Wang, hands in his hoodie pocket, looked towards the direction where the crowd had run off to.

The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

“Isn’t that my patron?”

The assistant glanced over: “Uh… maybe probably… it is.”

Feng Wang pulled out his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and continued to ask his assistant, “What were they just calling her?”

The assistant shivered inexplicably, feeling that Feng Wang’s voice was a bit off.

Swallowing, he hesitated before answering: “Hub… hubby?” Nowadays, people call anyone attractive ‘hubby’ online, regardless of gender. And they call anyone wealthy ‘daddy’… It’s kind of a ‘popular culture’ thing.

“Heh.”

Feng Wang let out a cold laugh and strode angrily toward that direction.

The crowd here was all girls, and taking advantage of his height, Feng Wang swiftly pushed through them.

“What the hell, show some manners, who is this guy!”

“Nobody snatches spots like that!”

“Back of the line, I haven’t even touched my hubby yet!!”

“Hey, don’t push…”

Feng Wang quickly made his way inside, scooped the surrounded girl into his arms, pulled down his mask, and kissed her.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Chuzheng blinked.

The man’s refined eyebrows and eyes were filled with gloom, and his long lashes cast a shadow over the light in his eyes, as they swept across her skin, bringing a faint tickle.

Just as Chuzheng was about to respond to him,

The man released her, and with a low, dark gaze, said: “This is my patron, don’t call her randomly, show some respect.”

His voice was eerily cold.

Everyone present felt chills running down their spine.

An inexplicable fear rose in their hearts.
