At this juncture, Shen Jun paused briefly before continuing, “Interestingly enough, fate seems to have played its hand cruelly. The son managed to break free from his gambling addiction after a long struggle. However, just as life was improving for the family of three, tragedy struck again. They were involved in a car accident, leaving only the son as the sole survivor. Although he survived, he was left with a crippled leg. Once he recuperated, he returned to his hometown in the county city and set up a fish stall. Fortunately, he retained the memory of that time and managed to identify the individual in the photograph. Otherwise, we might have been stuck with an unsolved case.”

The familiarity of this pattern and routine once again implicated Wei Feng. Wen Nian couldn’t help but sigh at the ruthlessness of Wei Feng’s actions.

Narrowing her eyes, Wen Nian unconsciously rubbed her thumb against her index finger as she speculated with Shen Jun, discussing their subsequent strategies.

In addition to her grandfather’s life, the five lives of the Wen family from her previous existence had been repaid with nothing but ingratitude.

Now, at this moment, Wen Nian felt the time had come. She had made up her mind to use Shen Jun’s influence to bring down the Wei family before leaving Hai City for university.

The production team’s celebration was scheduled for 7 pm. Xu Chang had reserved a large private room in a five-star hotel near Wangfujing.

Wen Nian had asked Shen Jun to drop her off at the hotel half an hour earlier. Afterward, Shen Jun drove back to the Shen family’s old residence.

Wen Nian located the private room according to the address provided. Inside, only Xu Chang was present.

Upon spotting Wen Nian, Xu Chang’s eyes lit up. He quickly approached her and teased, “What a rare guest! Your boyfriend had to pull some strings. Otherwise, with my status, 1 wouldn’t be able to get you here.”

Wen Nian chuckled. “I should say I’m almost out of your league now.”

After sharing a light moment, Wen Nian addressed the matter at hand. She was genuinely anxious about her studies and that was why she had declined Xu Chang’s invite.

Understanding her concerns, Xu Chang nodded with a smile. “I’ve known you for over a year. I’m well aware of your dedication to your studies. Let’s have a seat on the sofa and talk.”

Following Xu Chang to the reception area beside the restaurant, Wen Nian settled down. Xu Chang broached the topic that concerned him the most. “How are things going? Are there any majors you’re considering or particularly interested in?”

Wen Nian shook her head. “I’m a bit uncertain at the moment. My priority is securing a high score. Once I achieve that, I’ll have the freedom to choose the university and field 1 want.”

Art schools differed from other universities. They required students to take both professional and cultural exams, with admission determined by the combined scores.

Xu Chang’s anxiety was palpable. It was already January, and preparation for the art school exams needed to start immediately once the next semester began.

Yet, Wen Nian remained undecided. Seeing this, Xu Chang felt a mounting urgency. He pondered for a moment before switching to the topic of her fans. “Wen Nian, I heard you’ve amassed nearly three million fans. Congratulations! Your Weibo updates have become more consistent. You’ve come a long way from before.”

Wen Nian smiled in embarrassment. “They’re too enthusiastic. 1 feel that I’ve let them down. I’ve mostly shared some school matters. 1 feel a little bored myself.”

Xu Chang laughed. “To them, you’d look good even if you were just filming an ant. Your fans will appreciate anything you do.”

Wen Nian found his words to be quite accurate. In her previous life, her social media was managed by her manager, and the comments section was often filled with negativity. This was the first time she had experienced such widespread support, and it felt both novel and heartwarming.

Observing the genuine emotion on Wen Nian’s face, Xu Chang continued, “I’ve noticed many fans in your comments section are eager to see you in a project. Some even messaged me privately, asking if we’re compatible on-screen.”

“I’m more than willing. It’s up to you now.”

Wen Nian had indeed seen those hopeful comments, but she had never directly responded. While she had firmly informed her family she wouldn’t enter the entertainment industry in the future, facing fans who admired her acting skills and expressed their love and support made her reconsider..
