From Limelight to Aristocracy: Stirring Waves

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!"

Chapter 295: Not Sweet

Song Yan left, a tail trailing behind her.

To her, such a minor character was not worth much attention, besides, her brazen following left her no recourse.

On her return, only Assistant Han sat there waiting for her.

"Where's your boss?" Song Yan looked around but didn't see anyone.

Han Yao stood up and replied, "The boss said you would come to pay the bill, so he left first and had me wait here for you."

Hey, he sure remembered her words clearly enough.

"Let's go then." It was only when Song Yan went to the cashier to settle the bill that she was told it had been paid by someone else.

She exchanged a look with Han Yao, who gave a slight smile, "Miss Song, although the boss can be a jerk sometimes, he's not that stingy."

In her opinion, Gu Chenxiao was an intermittent conscience, consistently failing to be a decent person.

As they were about to leave, Han Yao vigilantly noticed someone peeking, and it seemed that Song Yan had realized it too.
