Lin Yan drove aimlessly on the road in City A, thinking, ‘if I ask my father to support Sheng Yuxi, it seems that only dating is the most reliable way.’
‘How am I going to explain to them about dating? I just woke up and have no memory. If I rashly tell my family about my relationship with Sheng Yuxi, they will definitely not agree.’
‘Also, about my sudden involvement in the entertainment industry. This whole series of things… Sigh, why is it so complicated? If only Xiang Yimeng were here.’
‘Forget it, forget it. It’s better not to let Xiang Yimeng know that I’m going to be a contract girlfriend with Sheng Yuxi. She would skin me alive.’
‘Sigh, life is so hard. How did I offend you, the author, to put me in such a situation?’
‘It’s like waking up from a dream. It’s so uncomfortable and empty. My heart is also empty…’
Lin Yan’s thoughts were interrupted by a series of ringtones. She stopped her car to pick up the phone.
She knew her brother’s phone number the moment she saw Lin Yu’s name. After she pressed the answer button, she automatically took the phone far away.
A roaring voice came from the phone, “Lin Yan, why aren’t you picking me up? I’ve already been at the school gate for two minutes. Why didn’t I see you at the gate? Where have you been?”
“Did you go behind my back to find Lu Shaoyu? I knew I shouldn’t have believed your words. I Don’t care where you are now. Come and pick me up quickly.”
Lin Yan suddenly remembered that it was Friday. Her family had arranged for her to pick up Lin Yu. She immediately said to Lin Yu, “don’t be impatient. I’m on the way now. Wait for me for ten minutes.”
To avoid being ridiculed again, Lin Yan immediately hung up the phone and turned on the silent mode. She turned on the car stereo and continued driving.
On the way, the stereo played,
“Why don’t we call it quits? Why don’t we go crazy?
Delete all the memories of you.
Why don’t we be ruthless? Why don’t we return to the crowd?
Be Your A-B-C-D
…
Why don’t we just give up? Why don’t we hug and break up?
Why don’t we tear up secretly?
Why don’t we give you your freedom this time?
Why don’t we just brush past each other and not look back?
…”
Lin Yan listened to the music and silently agreed with one sentence: ‘why don’t we just give up?’
However, she immediately touched her head and thought about how she had not given her savings to the children in the remote mountain areas. She could not give up. She had to work hard to get out of the predicament and move forward, forward, and ever forward.
Lin Yan subconsciously turned up the volume when she pick up Lin Yu and drove to the door of her house.
When the car reached the door of her house, Lin Yan could not wait to get away from this younger brother. She said to her parents in the house, “dad, mom, we’re back.”
Mother Lin said, “just in time. You guys are back. Let’s eat.”
The dinner table was filled with the sounds of bickering between Lin Yan and Lin Yu. From time to time, mother Lin would try to step in and dissuade them. However, this seemed to be a common occurrence at the dinner table. After Lin Yu and Lin Yan stopped for a while, they continued to bicker.
After the meal, Lin Yan found father Lin and mother Lin and said to them, “dad, mom, I want to ask for a favor from you two. Is that okay?”
Lin and Lin looked at the serious Lin Yan and said, “Yanyan, what is it? Sit down first.”
Lin Yan took a deep breath and looked at mother Lin and father Lin and said, “I want to enter the entertainment industry to develop my career.”
Lin immediately said, “Yanyan, isn’t it good to stay at home? Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry? There are all kinds of people there. It’s not safe.”
Father Lin Looked at Lin Yan with a serious face. Lin Yan continued, “I may only have one way of living in my life, but through acting, I can come into contact with different characters. Each of them is fresh and different from the rest.”
“Different scripts have different characters. The characters will experience different lives. Some have a rough life, and some have a stable life. They are all fresh and alive. I like this kind of experience…”
Mother Lin mother listened to Lin Yan’s words thoughtfully. Father Lin looked at Lin Yan and said, “Yanyan, you have grown up. You have your own choices. But you have to think clearly. If you choose to enter the entertainment industry, you have to take on that responsibility. You have to be responsible for your character and your own life.”
“You are still young now. There is still a long way to go in the future. If this is your decision, we will support you. But you have to remember that if you enter the entertainment industry, it is equivalent to growing up on your own.”
“The family won’t give you all of its strength, because this is your growth. If your parents leave you, you can also take charge on your own.”
“So, while you’re in the entertainment industry, your parents will give you freedom, but they won’t hold your hand and pull you along. You must do your best to go further.”
Lin Yan listened to her father’s words and said, “father, can I ask you something? The Sheng family is currently in the midst of a family struggle. I want you to help Sheng Yuxi. is that possible?”
After thinking for a moment, father Lin said, “Okay, I will help him. Don’t worry.”
On the side, mother Lin did not agree with father Lin’s series of statements, but she did not refute him. After they finished talking, Lin Yan happily laid on the bed and thought, “I am one step closer to returning home (to the world I came from).”
In the room, Father Lin hugged mother Lin and said, “Sheng Yuxi participated in the investment of Joy Entertainment. If we help him, it will be the same as helping our daughter.”
“Moreover, among the younger generation, Sheng Yuxi is a good descendant. Any action in the business world will have a great impact. It’s okay, don’t worry. How can I not care about our daughter?”
Mother Lin pretended to be angry and glanced at Father Lin. Father Lin saw his wife’s expression and kissed her. Then, the sound of… activity came from the room.
