Chapter 419: Bastard Son

However, everyone actually felt it was a pity that the second series did not star Yan Huan. They heard that it was because Yan Huan’s schedule couldn’t be adjusted so she had to pass on the movie, hence, there wasn’t much news about her this year. However, her popularity did not deteriorate, especially after she shot the dashing set of photos for the Mujin Flower Magazine.

Her popularity was soaring.

Last year, she was crowned the Best Actress of the Year through her movie, The Uncle and the Flower. If she continued to work hard and were to release another promising piece this year, her status as the diva in the entertainment industry would almost be impregnable.

Yan Huan was a very diligent actress. She appeared at the right place, with the right timing and as the right person. While her personal information showed that she was an orphan and had no parents, she didn’t have any blot in the past. No one knew who was supporting her from behind the scenes. However, she was indeed an exceptional figure in the industry. She came to be known as the “elixir for the box office” as she never accepted offers from lousy films. Any film that she was involved in, whether television series or movies would be a box office hit, which was why every producer and director wanted her so badly. Despite that, she rarely acted in any films in the past year.

It was a pity for a lot of people. If she was willing, many producers would have come to her with high remuneration so that she would act in their films.

Hello, Uncle! was similar to the previous The Uncle and The Flower movie, but this time, it wasn’t merely a cheap film. It was obvious that this film was more heavily invested compared to the previous one, as it was more than a level up on both the visual effects and costumes in this film.

The entire film was humorous and the performances of the actors and actresses were promising too. Unquestionably, there were also scenes that made the viewers emotional. An unspeakable emotion radiated within the viewers after watching the movie, as if it triggered a sense of self-reflection on what were the things that they have done, what were they living for and the purpose of their existence.

This was definitely a movie that was worth rewatching more than once.

After the premiere, without any exaggeration, this movie was highly acknowledged by all the viewers. In fact, the level of satisfaction was great too.

“It would have been even better if Yan Huan starred in it,” Madam Lei said softly to Ye Shuyun, “Her status in the industry could have made it even more attractive.”

“You know that she was enlisted at that time.” Ye Shuyun had also thought that it would be better if Yan Huan starred in the film, but she still supported Yan Huan’s decision to be enlisted, because she would stand out more among the pool of actresses by having the experience of being in the army. The Ye family was a military and administrative household, she grew up with soldiers since she was little, so there was something within her that made her feel naturally connected to the army.

Thus, even if Yan Huan stopped filming movies and became a soldier, she would absolutely support her too.

Humankind requires time to reflect on themselves, to discover their flaws and be calmer. They would then be able to produce works that are more soulful too.

On the first day of Chinese New Year, Hello, Uncle premiered and Yan Huan was absent. It wasn’t that she didn’t care about it but she wanted to spend time with her family. This was the first Chinese New Year that she, Lu Yi, Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin spent together, whereas for Old Master Lu, no one mentioned a single word about him.

Yan Huan knew better than anyone else that Old Master Lu would still live for a very long time. He wouldn’t be angered to death so easily. Even in his previous life, he was still living after the death of Yan Huan, he was still as strong and sound, comparable to a young man. It would most likely be the same in his current life too.

This is for mom. Yan Huan took out the presents that she bought. She gifted Ye Shuyun a set of jade accessories. Ye Shuyun had always loved jade, so everything she wore were made of jade. As the belief goes, humans would nurture the jade by wearing it, while the jade worn would heal its wearer.

“Thank you,” Ye Shu Yun accepted the gift swiftly. Sigh, it is indeed better to have a daughter. Look at her own son who never thought about expressing his gratitude to his parents who raised him; they would have appreciated it even if he gave them a chicken feather. If they save it up for years, they could even turn it into a feather duster.

But he never gave them any.

Wasn’t there a saying that it is not the gift that counts but the thought behind it?

This bastard son.

“Father, this is for you.”

Yan Huan gave Lu Jin another present that she bought.

This was the first time that Lu Jin received a gift, he was so awkward that he didn’t know where to place his hands.

He quickly received it. Weighing it in his hands, he felt that it was rather hefty, so he was very tempted to unbox his gift, but he endured the temptation due to the presence of the two kids.

Yan Huan also received two red packets from them, happily keeping them in her pocket before she turned around and stared at Lu Yi. Lu Yi took out a red packet as well.

“This is for you.”

Yan Huan accepted it quickly and stuffed it into her pocket like it was extremely precious. She gave her pocket a little pat.

Truthfully, everybody knew that she wasn’t short of money for spending. She just enjoyed receiving red packets, a lot of them.

“Will you be going to grandpa’s tonight?” Lu Yi asked Lu Jin, “If you are going, I can go too, but Huanhuan will not go.” Lu Yi was not going to let Old Master Lu vent his spite upon Yan Huan by saying nasty words to her.

“I’m not going either.” Ye Shuyun’s face turned dark right away.

“Go by yourselves if you wish to.”

After nearly beating her son to death more than once, plus the previous road accident, she still blamed it all on Old Master Lu. If he didn’t ask Lu Yi to escort that Miao, he wouldn’t have met with the accident. It was all because of Old Master Lu’s senility. She had yet to cool off, and it made her worry that all these pent-up resentment would make her sick, worse still during Chinese New Year.

Until now, Lu Yi never revealed to the public, including his parents and relatives that the accident was caused by Miao Xinyuan, that it was Miao Xinyuan who drove that day, or Ye Shuyun might really risk everything against Lu Jin just to move back to her parents’ home with her son and daughter-in-law.

There was nothing that Lu Jin could say. In fact, he himself didn’t want to go as well, but he had no choice as Old Master Lu was his father. Perhaps he wasn’t his father, just like what Ye Shuyun said, and he was picked up from the dumpster, and Miao was the real child of the Old Master.

Ye Shuyun only took out her gift from Yan Huan after Lu Yi and Yan Huan returned home. She opened it, revealing a set of jade jewelry which included a necklace, earrings and a ring, nothing less.

She was someone who understood the value of those jewelry and she knew quite a bit about jades. Due to her liking of jades, she had done some research so she knew at one glance, that these jades were glassy jadeite, classified as the best type of jade. Most importantly, their colors were unified, which meant that they were definitely imperial jade.

She loved them so much that she took them out hurriedly, before putting them on and ogled smugly at herself in the mirror for a long time.

“Shuyun, Shuyun...” Lu Jin flung open the door with a loud bang. He had some kind of scroll in his hand, “Look, it’s by Yan Zhenqing, it is Yan Zhenqing’s calligraphy, an antique, a national treasure!”
