Chapter 334 - 334: Donation
“Oh, come and check out my superstar!” Wen Yu excitedly rushed over, grabbing Wen Nian’s luggage. “Did you prepare a hefty red envelope for me this New Year?”
With that, he pulled Wen Nian into a hug and hastily snapped a photo with his phone.
“What on earth are you doing?” Wen Nian was utterly bewildered by his flurry of actions.
Wen Yu swiftly manipulated his phone. “I told them that you’re my sister, but they didn’t buy it. Can you believe they called me delusional? I need this photo to clear my name! You’re so stunning, and I’m so dashing. No matter how you look at it, we’re family. How could we not be blood-related?”
Zhou Mei emerged from the kitchen, tapping him on the head with a spatula. “Apart from sharing a last name with your sister, 1 honestly can’t see any resemblance! Now hurry and set the table; dinner’s almost ready.”
Wen Yu covered his head and yelped as he made his way to the kitchen.
Wen Xing, on the other hand, was already beaming as he invited everyone to the table. Zhou Mei directed the father and son, and the family engaged in conversation and laughter. It was a heartwarming and harmonious sight.
Tears welled up in Wen Nian’s eyes suddenly. In her previous life, she had never experienced such warmth with her family. In her memories, there had been only ceaseless arguments and the dissolution of her family.
She clenched her fists, resolute in her determination. She would never allow history to repeat itself in this lifetime. The Wei family had to be utterly dismantled.
“Nian Nian, why are you lost in thought? Go wash your hands quickly!” Zhou Mei said with a smile.
Wen Nian snapped out of her reverie and promptly agreed to wash her hands.
Just as she began to make her way to the sink, her phone chimed with a WeChat message from Wang Bing.
Wang Bing: Director Xu got in touch with me about the audition next week. I know I owe this opportunity to you; if not for you, 1 wouldn’t even have this chance. Originally, Director Xu had cast you as the female lead. I’m truly grateful to you, and 1’11 give it my all. Regardless of how the audition turns out, know that I’m here to help you with anything you need. 1’11 do my utmost to assist you.
Reading Wang Bing’s message, Wen Nian was momentarily taken aback.
In her previous life, Wang Bing had rapidly risen to A-list status in the entertainment industry. She was pursued by countless individuals seeking her favor. Everyone she supported achieved popularity, but getting close to Wang Bing was no easy feat.
She had a somewhat aloof and haughty demeanor. She rarely engaged in conversations with others. Wen Nian hadn’t expected Wang Bing to express such sentiments in this lifetime.
Wen Nian replied briefly, thanking Wang Bing and encouraging her to approach the audition with dedication and authenticity.
A minute later, another WeChat message from Wang Bing arrived.
Wang Bing: The TV drama Huang Yue mentioned today has been halted due to censorship. They’ve stopped shooting. It seems unlikely to resume production. Huang Yue’s reputation in the industry isn’t great. She didn’t meet with Director Xu that day, and now the drama can’t continue… Director Xu has an audition coming up, so be cautious around her.
Wen Nian: Okay, thank you. I wish you success in the audition. You will definitely succeed.
Puzzled, Wen Nian set her phone aside. In her previous life, this online drama had gained popularity, and she had also become the target of online criticism. However, the lead actors and actresses had certainly experienced a boost in their careers. How could this drama be abruptly halted in this lifetime?
Nonetheless, she acknowledged that many aspects of her life had changed this time around. She didn’t want to dwell on it too much. It would be for the best if Wu Gang never made a comeback; it would save her plenty of trouble.
Wen Nian enjoyed a joyful family meal. Her family inquired about her filming experience, and upon learning that it was for the children’s education, they expressed strong support.
After a moment’s reflection, Zhou Mei suggested, “Nian Nian, there are many left-behind children. Ask Director Xu if there are avenues for receiving donations. Our family is currently doing well, so we should help these children, right?”
Wen Xing chimed in, “Absolutely. Many of our former neighbors left home for work, and nobody paid much attention to their children. It’s a shame. Our family can make a donation as well. You can make it in your name since you’re a rising star now.”
“Alright, I didn’t earn much from this advertisement. I did make a profit from the previous one. I’d like to donate 500,000 yuan. I’ll use the earnings from my movies, not the family’s money.”
500,000 yuan was undoubtedly a substantial sum for an average family, but Wen Nian had already earned 200,000 yuan from her previous film. Moreover, Xu Chang had paid her 800,000 yuan in accordance with their contract later on, resulting in a total income of one million yuan from a single movie.
Zhou Mei and Wen Xing respected their daughter’s decision. They still regarded Wen Nian as an adult, allowing her to manage the money she earned as she saw fit..
