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 399: How did you think of bringing me here?

Whether she was there or not, it made no difference.

After all, her father had long since grown accustomed to spending New Year's Eve without her and having the reunion dinner without her presence.

This year, at most, would be no different from the previous ones.

To him, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Because today was New Year's Eve, there were hardly any cars on the road. After driving for nearly an hour, as the roads and buildings grew familiar, Song Yan asked in surprise, "How did you think of bringing me here?"

How could he think of bringing her to her mother's house?

"You come back here for New Year's every year, don't you?"

Song Yan was silent.

She gently bit her lip and said nothing.

Since her debut, she had always been very busy, but every year she would make sure to come back for the holiday, until last year...

She hadn't originally planned to return this year.

But unexpectedly, Gu Chenxiao brought her to this very place today.
