Chapter 616 -616: Raising a Star (39)

It must have been Feng Wang bragging about having a sugar daddy before, making everyone believe him.

So even when such an incident occurred, the focus wasn’t on the fact that Feng Wang was kept, but rather on how extremely wealthy the sugar daddy was.

People began to dig into Chuzheng’s background—there had been attempts before.

But they found that there was too little useful information to be uncovered.

Even if someone did expose something, it would quickly be deleted, and the person who spread the rumor would claim they were just fabricating it.

–

“Just who exactly is Chi Chuzheng?” President Jian was nearly exploding with anger—they were among the first to get the news, aware that the Yueguang Building would appreciate in value.

“This… I couldn’t find out more,” the assistant broke out in cold sweat: “Even the entertainment industry doesn’t understand much about her background, only that she wasn’t like this before… Maybe it’s really like what’s said online, she had hidden her background previously.”

They had all done the preliminary planning.

Just waiting for the Yueguang Building to cave under pressure, then they would push the price down.

Who knew that not only did the price not get suppressed, but they also lost the building completely.

All the effort they had invested upfront was in vain.

What was even more infuriating was that the other party didn’t care at all, and just gave it away with a flip of the hand.

That was an entire building for crying out loud!!

Initially, they thought it was the Chu Family playing tricks… They never expected… really never expected…

“Chi Chuzheng…” President Jian’s face turned ashen.

This woman used to be Chu Anyang’s girlfriend.

He had a conflict with the Chu Family!

President Jian, in a fit of anger at the company, returned home only to be informed by the servant that Jian Dan had run away.

President Jian almost fainted from anger.

President Jian and Mother Jian had another big fight at home.

This had become a regular occurrence lately; the servants were not surprised.

Hiding away, making sure not to draw the fire onto themselves.

Jian Dan, having run away from home, the first person she sought was Chu Anyang.

Chu Anyang was quick to come and pick her up.

Jian Dan cried and threw herself at him: “Anyang.”

“Stop crying.” Unable to bear hearing Jian Dan cry, Chu Anyang’s heart softened, and he spent quite a while comforting her.

Chu Anyang took Jian Dan back to where he was staying.

Jian Dan puzzled: “Anyang, why are you living in a hotel? And…” And it seemed to be a very average hotel at that.

When did Chu Anyang ever stay in anything less than a five-star hotel?

Chu Anyang: “…”

Chu Anyang was no longer the president of Eastern Entertainment, and Mrs. Chu had frozen all his properties and cars under his name.

He still had some money in his cards, but like before, spending without earning, it wasn’t long before he was scraping the bottom of the barrel.

“It’s nothing…” Chu Anyang brushed it off.

“Anyang.” Jian Dan clung to Chu Anyang: “We won’t ever separate, right?”

“Of course not.” Chu Anyang promised: “Once I talk my mother around, we can be together openly.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

–

How could Chu Anyang possibly persuade Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu was adamantly against his relationship with Jian Dan, even declaring that if he stayed with Jian Dan, she would rather donate everything the Chu Family owned than leave any of it to him.

Chu Anyang and Mrs. Chu were at loggerheads.

Chu Anyang believed he could be self-sufficient and utterly disregarded his mother’s threats.

To save funds, Chu Anyang moved out and started from scratch as an entrepreneur.

Mrs. Chu didn’t truly intend to disown her son; she just wanted to force him to come back.

So one can imagine how difficult Chu Anyang’s entrepreneurship was.

Having come from a high starting point, Chu Anyang perhaps thought that starting a business wasn’t such a difficult thing.

However, it was only when he was rejected by everyone that he realized starting a business was not as simple as he had experienced before.

“Anyang, don’t push yourself too hard, I can be with you.”

Chu Anyang’s face had grown thinner, and upon hearing Jian Dan’s comforting words, he tiredly patted her hand, “Mhm.”

As Chu Anyang got up to wash up, he unexpectedly discovered a few new sets of clothes in the wardrobe.

“Did you buy clothes?”

“Mhm, I thought they looked nice so I bought them,” Jian Dan said sweetly, nodding her head, “Look, I bought some for you too, they’re couple outfits.”

Chu Anyang looked at the clothes and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Chu Anyang, holding onto Jian Dan, spoke with heartfelt sincerity, “We can’t afford to spend recklessly right now. You’re enduring hardship by being with me, but can we please hang in there? I’ll be able to give you everything you want later.”

Jian Dan was after all spoiled from a young age.

Even though she left the Jian Family, her card was still filled, Mother Jian still secretly sent her money, she was not short on cash.

So she didn’t see anything wrong with buying a piece of clothing.

“Anyang… these clothes weren’t expensive,” she said softly.

“…” Chu Anyang sighed, “Forget it, I’m taking a shower.”

“Are you mad at me, Anyang?”

“No, don’t overthink it, I’m just a bit tired.”

“…Then go and shower.”

Jian Dan watched Chu Anyang go in and pursed her lips.

She had never lived a day like this in the past.

Even buying a piece of clothing now leads to a lecture.

Jian Dan still wanted to act, but she found out that ever since Chu Anyang was no longer the president of Eastern Entertainment, she couldn’t land any roles.

Mr. Jian certainly wouldn’t help her.

Even if Jian Dan could land a role, they were a mess or the productions were only interested in her as a person.

Facing rejection time and again made Jian Dan very frustrated.

Especially when she saw Chi Chuzheng becoming hugely popular online.

Why could she succeed when I couldn’t?

In a fit of anger, Jian Dan used the money on her card to pull some strings and secure a role for herself.

However, by the time the filming crew had stared, she hadn’t received any notification, and realized she had been scammed.

That sum of money was most of what was on her card.

The little she had left was only enough for her to buy a few clothes, a bag.

Mother Jian hadn’t sent her money for a long while.

Driven by financial pressure, Jian Dan called Mother Jian.

However, Mother Jian said that Mr. Jian had stopped her card.

Mother Jian’s card was a supplementary card from Mr. Jian, who said that if she didn’t return home, they wouldn’t give her any more money.

Mother Jian urged Jian Dan to come back quickly, but Jian Dan refused, hanging up the phone in anger.

Knowing she was out of cash, Jian Dan still couldn’t control her spending.

After all, she was used to lavish spending and couldn’t change that overnight.

Sitting in the rented apartment, looking at the messy room, Jian Dan felt a sense of regret stirring within her.

Why did she come here to suffer?

Chu Anyang was busy with his own affairs, hardly having any time to accompany her.

It wasn’t as good as the days when they were secretly together…

Back then, life was great; she had everything she wanted, ate well, dressed well, and Chu Anyang would give her all sorts of things.

With just one phone call, Chu Anyang would immediately come back to her side.

But now?

Chu Anyang hardly ever answered her calls.

And when he came back, he would say he hadn’t heard the phone.

Don’t ask me if there will be inflation, this is just nonsense I wrote to relieve stress. I hope it can help everyone relax and have a good time during intense moments of study and work. Don’t take it too seriously—it’s all in good fun as there is no actual scientific reasoning from the start of this topic.
