Since their relationship had not yet been made public, when Brother Shen came to pick them up, he arranged for two separate nanny cars. The larger, more luxurious one was, of course, reserved for Yin Yin.

Yin Yin and Su Mo had previously discussed the idea of bringing Su Yuanjin along to the set, and Su Yuanjin eagerly agreed. He just wanted his mother to come home often and for his parents to spend more time together.

In the past few years, his mother had seldom been home. Not only did Su Yuanjin miss her deeply, but he knew his father did as well. Though Su Mo never expressed it aloud, he carried the weight of his longing silently, and Su Yuanjin could see the toll it took—his father becoming more withdrawn, his smiles growing fewer.

Now, the little boy was overjoyed that his parents would have more time together.

Moreover, after this semester, Su Yuanjin would no longer be attending kindergarten. Despite his young age, he had an exceptionally high IQ, making him unsuitable for traditional step-by-step learning.

A while ago, Yin Yin had contacted the China Talented Youth Training Camp, the only place in the country where gifted children gathered. Taught by China's top educators, the students who graduated from this camp were destined to become the nation's future leaders in their fields.

After Yin Yin got in touch, a teacher from the training camp soon arrived. Following his assessment of Su Yuanjin, he was astonished by the three-year-old prodigy and predicted that Su Yuanjin's future achievements could rival those of Einstein.

Su Yuanjin himself was very interested in the training camp, so he agreed to attend after completing his final semester of kindergarten.

The two nanny cars set off one after the other, and after about two hours, they arrived at the film and television base in Kyoto.

"It's Queen Yin!"

"The goddess is here!"

"Ah...!"

Yin Yin's nanny car had a distinctive logo, so the moment it appeared, it was immediately recognized by fans who had been eagerly waiting.

As a popular film queen with nearly a decade in the industry, Yin Yin had amassed over 150 million fans, many of whom affectionately referred to her as a goddess.

This time, the fan club had learned about Yin Yin's involvement in the filming of "The Phoenix Road," an adaptation of a popular IP, and had organized a special gathering to celebrate the first day of shooting.

Yin Yin looked out the car window and saw a sea of people. Fans of the actors in "The Phoenix Road" had gathered en masse, with Yin Yin's supporters dominating the crowd. At a glance, the light boards filled the scene like a vast ocean.

Because there were so many fans, and they were so enthusiastic, they nearly blocked the three nanny cars from moving forward.

In the first car sat Yin Yin, while Su Mo was in the second car.

As Su Mo gazed out at the sea of fans, he was momentarily overwhelmed with a sense of déjà vu, as if he had traveled back in time to four years ago.

Four years ago, he had filmed his first TV series, which turned him into an overnight sensation and earned him a large fanbase.

However, after that drama, Su Mo had withdrawn from the entertainment industry. Over the past four years, many of his fans had moved on, leaving only a few loyal ones behind.

The entertainment industry is never short of new faces, and with Su Mo retiring after just one drama, it became even harder for people to remember him.

Yet, Su Mo had no regrets. He loved acting, but his love for Yin Yin and Dudu was even greater.

Now, he was filled with excitement at the prospect of filming with his wife once more, and his passion for the craft was rekindled.

As he looked out at the huge, enthusiastic crowd of fans, he realized that while he always knew Yin Yin was popular, he hadn't fully grasped just how beloved she was.

He felt immense pride that so many people adored his wife.

"What's going on? The car is stuck, and they won't let anyone out. How can they be so uncivilized?" In the third car, a girl in a red short skirt looked out the window angrily.

-------

The middle-aged female manager sitting next to her handed over a bottle of mineral water and advised, "Calm down. Why are you so irritable? The lead actress in 'The Phoenix Road' is Yin Yin. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that where Yin Yin goes, the biggest crowd of fans will follow. Don't worry, the security guards will soon step in to maintain order."

"Yin Yin, Yin Yin—it's always about her! What's so special about her, anyway? Is it just her figure? Look at her age—she's practically an old lady still trying to act young. I don't understand how those fans can be so blind, treating such a woman like a goddess." The girl pouted and complained, feeling incredibly bitter.

The corners of Manager Hu's lips twitched slightly. She didn't say much, but she shot a sidelong glance at Liang Xin and secretly sighed in her heart.

You look down on Yin Yin, yet the company still packages you as the "Little Yin Yin," and you even dress just like her.

As she grumbled internally, she observed Liang Xin again.

A red miniskirt, bright makeup, long wavy hair—everything styled to mimic Yin Yin. Everyone knew that Yin Yin favored red skirts, though she preferred long, elegant ones.

Yin Yin's makeup had always been striking, the boldest stroke in a beautiful landscape. With her presence, it felt like there was no room for any other color.

Moreover, Yin Yin had an incredible figure, with curves in all the right places—a body that truly earned her the title of goddess.

She possessed a stunning appearance and a pair of enchanting eyes that could melt anyone's heart with just one glance. Manager Hu often thought Yin Yin was like a modern-day Daji.

However, despite her beauty, Yin Yin was never vulgar. Her aura was one of nobility and dignity, which was why so many high-end brands sought her for endorsements.

As for Liang Xin's comment about Yin Yin being an "old woman pretending to be young," Manager Hu could only acknowledge that Yin Yin was older than Liang Xin, but she was also extremely well-maintained. Having seen Yin Yin up close, she knew her skin was as white and tender as snow, so radiant that it seemed you could squeeze water from it.

Though Yin Yin was thirty-five, she looked like a young woman fresh out of college.

Now, looking at Liang Xin again, despite being only 23, with her gaudy makeup and bright red dress, she somehow managed to look older.

Liang Xin had only been in the industry for a short time, just over a year, but because of her role as the "Little Yin Yin," she gained fame after playing a few supporting roles and one lead role.

However, her level of fame could never compare to Yin Yin's.

Yet, the reason Liang Xin felt bold enough to complain about Yin Yin so openly was due to her newfound identity.

A year ago, Liang Xin was just an ordinary girl from an average family. It was also a year ago that she discovered her mother was actually a descendant of the Chu family. Although she wasn't a direct descendant, her connection to the Chu family was undeniable. In other words, Liang Xin also had Chu family blood in her veins.

And what is the Chu family? The Chu family is a centuries-old lineage with deep roots and influence in both military and political fields. But beyond that, there is also the Chu Group.

The Chu Group is the largest conglomerate in Asia, with countless industries under its umbrella.

If none of that is familiar, then Shenghuang Entertainment should ring a bell.

Shenghuang Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Chu Group, is the leading company in the entertainment industry. When Liang Xin first debuted, she wanted to sign with Shenghuang Entertainment, but they refused.

The president of Shenghuang Entertainment is the grandson of the current chairman of the Chu Group and the designated future president of the Chu Group.
