Xi Mu

Song Yan had been in the industry for four years and was nicknamed "The Red Rose of the World"—stunning, brilliant, and cool.

After a scandal and a breakup, she announced her retirement with great fanfare and vanished from the public eye.

Her former collaborators spoke of her with disdain, "She only got famous through hype, with no real talent, all pretense, and nothing genuine."

Half a year later, at a banquet, the retired Song Yan made her first appearance and became the untouchable heir to the Song Family's hundred-billion fortune.

Those who had bad-mouthed her in the past were now sycophantic: "Miss Song is beautiful with great acting skills and strong capabilities. It's such a pity she retired! _(:3」∠❀)_"

After retirement, Song Yan was known as "The Fairy of the World"—naturally gorgeous and irresistible. There wasn't a man she couldn't charm.

The high-society ladies sniffed at this: "Gu Chenxiao of Yun City, so cold and heartless. Try flirting with him!"

Song Yan had her 'three nos'.

First, she wouldn't flirt with the ugly.

Second, she wouldn't flirt with those who liked her.

Third: ...ex-boyfriends, she wouldn't flirt!

Everyone racked their brains but couldn't understand how these three rules were related to Gu Chenxiao.

In Yun City, it was widely rumored: Gu Chenxiao's ex-girlfriend broke up with him just because he stepped into a room with his left foot first.

People dissed his ex-girlfriend for not knowing better, for acting out and dooming herself.

Late, when the romance between Gu Chenxiao and Song Yan became public, a romantic rival confronted her, sneering: "You're just a placeholder. His true love is his ex-girlfriend. When she returns, you'll be kicked to the curb!"

That very evening, Gu Chenxiao, who had returned from a business trip, saw Song Yan packing her luggage. Veins throbbed on his forehead as he ground his teeth: "Song Yan, this time I stepped in with my right foot first! Where do you think you're running off to now!"

"I don't know what you're talking about."


She knew that the day would come when her lies would be exposed, and right now, she just wanted to capitalize on this fact to maximize her benefits in front of her.


"You'll know," Song Yan said, looking towards Zhong Hao, "Isn't it just so coincidental that Gu Chenxiao is also here today? Don't you want to meet that ancestor of yours?"


Upon hearing this name, everyone present was taken aback.


It would be great to have the fortune to see that master. But at the same time, other thoughts came to mind, and he couldn't help frowning and glancing at Jiang Yinrong from the corner of his eye.


Song Yan continued, "Isn't Miss Jiang the fiancée of Mr. Gu? You have such a good relationship with Miss Jiang, such a small request, she definitely wouldn't refuse you, right?"


Hearing this, Zhong Hao looked towards Jiang Yinrong.
