Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Wen Nian spoke, Wen Yu was taken aback. “You have that much money? 1 was originally thinking of donating 1,000 yuan. I’ve saved some money from my part-time job at school, but it can’t compare to what you’re offering!”

Zhou Mei smiled and replied, “The amount is a gesture of my sincerity. Nian Nian has grown up, so you get the final say in this matter.”

After dinner, Wen Nian returned to the bedroom and contacted Xu Chang to share the news of the donation.

“Wen Nian, you’re incredibly kind!” Xu Chang was deeply touched. The public service advertisement had been the local station’s initiative, and he, too, had been inspired by the children’s thirst for knowledge.

Education, however, required funding, and state resources were limited. Additional support from the community was necessary.

Initially, Xu Chang was wondering if he should speak up and encourage people to donate. However, he did not expect Wen Nian to be the first to make a donation.

With a sense of urgency, Xu Chang swiftly reached out to the relevant government departments. Simultaneously, he contemplated reaching out to more industry contacts. The public service advertisement was scheduled for release during the upcoming New Year. By then, the families would all be happy and the plight of these left behind children would be shared with the public. Perhaps they could genuinely make a difference in these children’s lives.

After finalizing their plans, Wen Nian retrieved the gold bars from his luggage. It was clear that Wei Xiao had additional evidence against him. To Wen Nian, these gold bars held little value, and he handed them over to Huang Yue without much fuss.

Believing that the money for the gold bars had been given by Shen Jun, she reached for her phone, intending to inform Shen Jun to proceed with the payment. Unexpectedly, as she unlocked her phone, she received a WeChat message from Shen Jun.

Shen Jun: I’ve dispatched someone to investigate Yang Shu’s residence. I’ve already made arrangements with his niece to access the contents of the safe tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated.

Upon reading the contents of the WeChat message, Wen Nian’s heart raced. Yang Shu must possess some incriminating evidence; othen-vise, why would a physician like him maintain a secure safe without using his name?

Wen Nian glanced at the gold bar in her hand once more. She had initially considered sharing this with her family, but now it appeared that she needed concrete evidence before discussing their course of action.

She realized that certain matters required discussion with Shen Jun. At present, she felt ill-equipped to handle them. Her learning capabilities were limited, and she lacked the necessary background and skills to address these issues.

Noticing that she hadn’t responded, Shen Jun eventually initiated a video call.

Once the call went through, he saw Wen Nian lying on her bed, lost in thought. “What’s wrong?” Shen Jun asked worriedly.

After a brief pause, Wen Nian replied, “Today, Wang Bing informed me that she’s going for an audition.”

Shen Jun thought that she had regretted rejecting Xu Chang’s movie. He flashed a reassuring smile and said, “If you’d like, I can arrange transportation for your audition anytime. I’m confident that Director Xu would be more inclined to select you.”

However, Wen Nian shook her head. “He’s definitely going to choose Wang Bing, and Wang Bing is bound to become a sensation.”

Perhaps the advantage of her rebirth was that she knew what the future held and could use this knowledge to achieve her aspirations.

Observing the contemplative expression on her face, Shen Jun decided not to press her for details and simply waited for her to speak.

Wen Nian lay on her bed lost in thought. She reflected on how, in her previous life, if she had still been the vulnerable Wen Nian, she might have severed ties with her family by now. She’d undergone plastic surgery and had been ruthlessly criticized by netizens, while, at this point in her previous life, she hadn’t even gone home for the New Year. Instead, she slept with some big shot in bed.

In that context, it was improbable for Xu Chang to consider her for a movie role, and even Wang Bing’s assistant might have overlooked her.

However, she had been reborn. Now, she had the love of her family, a considerable fan base, a career benefactor, a loving boyfriend, and an uncertain future.

Nonetheless, in order to sustain this happiness, she needed to first deal with the Wei family.

Yet, the Wei family was formidable, wealthy, and influential. Relying solely on the evidence in her possession to bring them down was not feasible. She couldn’t depend on Shen Jun alone.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Shen Jun. Her past experiences had simply taught her that self-reliance was often more dependable than depending on others. She needed to become strong enough to protect the people she cared about.

At the thought of this, Wen Nian took a deep breath and said, “Shen Jun, I want to apply to the Capital Film Academy..”
