The Yan siblings had settled down, and I, along with Director Wang, invested in a new company to start producing our own short dramas. In just three months, the company generated tens of millions in revenue.
Yan Boyi's investment failure led to his complete loss of recognition from the the Yan Family, and he was removed from the list of heirs. His mother was merely the third wife of the old man of the the Yan Family, while his older brother and sister were Ivy League graduates who had long since taken control of the core industries of the family. With his value diminished, the the Yan Family naturally sought to cancel any arranged marriage, and Yan Boyi's older brother became the new candidate for such a union.
Meanwhile, Yan Boyi drowned himself in a life of excess. As for me, I finally awaited the day my mother would be discharged from the hospital. However, I never expected that this day would bring trouble.
On our way home, a large truck suddenly lost control and barreled straight toward us. Fortunately, another vehicle shielded me just in time. But that vehicle wasn’t so lucky; it was crushed under the weight of the truck.
Watching the scene of the accident sent chills down my spine. I hurriedly took my mother home and then went to report the incident at the police station. Strangely enough, the investigation revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. Since there were no casualties, he received a light punishment: a revoked license, six months in detention, and a fine of thirty thousand.
I couldn't understand how a truck driver could be drinking early in the morning after years on the job. As I left the police station, I received a call from Yan Boyi. He slurred his words as he said, "Yan Ruyu, consider yourself lucky this time; next time you won't be so fortunate."
A tightness gripped my chest. What did Yan Boyi mean by that? Could it be that he was involved in the accident? It seemed that until this matter was resolved, my mother and I would still be in danger.
We spent three days gathering all evidence of Yan Boyi's tax evasion and reported him without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, with the methods of the the Yan Family, this matter didn't stir up a single ripple. They quickly paid several hundred million in taxes and sent Yan Boyi off to South America, under the guise of training, but in reality, it was a banishment.
After Yan Boyi was sent away, Yan Yanfeng fell into misfortune. Without the support of the the Yan Family, she struggled to make her way in the entertainment industry. When she auditioned for leading roles, they flopped. When she tried for supporting roles, they were met with criticism.
She remained oblivious to her situation, complaining everywhere and even resorting to snatching resources. However, the entertainment industry showed her no mercy; after two films bombed, no production team wanted her anymore. Faced with demands for compensation from the crews and pressure from the the Yan Family, Yan Yanfeng had no choice but to seek help from anyone she could find, desperately hoping for a role.
She even came to me, crying uncontrollably, having lost all the pride of being the little princess of the Capital Circle. Naturally, I felt no sympathy for her; instead, I intended to take advantage of her downfall and step on her hard.
I found her a role as a vicious supporting character, where she spent most of her time either glaring or slapping others. While filming, I critiqued her performance: "That slap position is wrong; do it again!" "Your eyes aren't red enough; again!" "Your expression isn't fierce enough; once more!"
Yan Yanfeng was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. Halfway through filming, she cried out that she was tired and unwilling to continue. I immediately threatened her by saying I would call her parents in Europe. "Yan Yanfeng, your parents would be very happy about your marriage prospects."
Yan Yanfeng turned pale with fear and reluctantly continued shooting.
In the end, Yan Yanfeng did marry the second son of a real estate tycoon through an arranged marriage. While on the phone, she cried out, "Dad, I'm only 24! I haven't had enough fun yet; I don't want to get married!"
"Alright then, you return all the money you've lost, and I won't let you get married."
Yan Yanfeng had no choice but to obediently marry.
She originally thought that although she couldn't do whatever she wanted like before, at least she would live a worry-free life as a wealthy lady.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long; the real estate market crashed, her husband went bankrupt, and the the Yan Family refused to take her in.
With no other options, she could only shamefully return to the entertainment industry.
This time, she had to start from being a background actor.
Sadly, it didn't create any waves.
Her star dream ultimately shattered.
Meanwhile, our short drama received a great response.
At thirty, I sold my shares in the company.
With my mother, I began traveling around the world.
We wandered along the Ganges, feeling the insignificance of humanity.
We stood beneath the pyramids, marveling at human greatness.
We walked the streets of Paris, feeding pigeons and savoring the beauty of life.
