  “You actually got a dog outside behind my back!!!”


  Ye Wanwan’s eardrums were nearly pierced from the enormous sound wave that slammed into her face.

  In the midst of Gong Xu’s breakdown, a head popped up from behind Ye Wanwan’s shoulder. Big Dipper blinked. “Eh? Dog? Where, where???”


  Gong Xu blankly stared at Big Dipper’s face for a second before exploding on the spot. “You actually got two!!!”


  Ye Wanwan: “…”


  Enough already…


  Seven Star was afraid of people in China hurting Ye Wanwan, so he didn’t want her going out by herself and followed her. As for Big Dipper, he heard he would be able to see his goddess and doggedly insisted on coming along.

  If she knew it would turn into such a ruckus… she would’ve come on her own.

  Even Luo Chen and the others were shocked at the sight of the two unfamiliar, eye-catching youths standing next to Ye Wanwan, let alone Gong Xu.

  “Brother Ye, these two are…?” Luo Chen hesitantly asked.

  Could they be artists newly taken in by Brother Ye?

  This was everyone’s first thought.

  After returning to China, Ye Wanwan fussed with even First Elder and Third Elder, let alone two excellent potentials, Big Dipper and Seven Star.

  Out of habit, Ye Wanwan gave the duo a giant makeover, so their appearances could hold a candle to a celebrity’s and they emitted a very unique and distinctive aura. Their looks could easily cause misunderstandings.

  Fei Yang’s eyes were shining as he inspected the two youths. “Director Ye, are they artists you picked up outside?”


  Gong Xu still looked like a girl betrayed by her partner. “Brother Ye, you promised that you wouldn’t accept anyone aside from blockhead and me! Yet, you picked up two at once!”


  Ye Wanwan exasperatedly said, “What blanks are you blindly filling?! These two are my friends, not artists I signed.”


  “Friends…” Gong Xu’s eyes darted between Big Dipper and Seven Star, and he examined their faces for half a day before decisively announcing, “Their faces aren’t convincing at all!”


  Ye Wanwan tousled Gong Xu’s birdnest hair with a dark expression. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but why haven’t you aged at all?”


  Still so… childish…


  When Gong Xu heard this, he got hooked onto a random point. His previous fury abruptly switched to happiness. “Of course! I take good care of myself!”


  Ye Wanwan: “…”


  After a round of chaos, Ye Wanwan led Big Dipper and Seven Star inside the house.

  “Wanwan…” Jiang Yanran hugged her with reddened eyes. “It’s great… I’m glad you’re fine, I’m glad you’re fine! We were all worried to death when you disappeared for so long!”


  “Sorry, I ran into a problem and couldn’t contact you guys.”


  “No worries, no worries. It’s good that you’re back.”


  “Oh right, allow me to introduce you. These two are friends I met overseas, Big Dipper and Seven Star,” Ye Wanwan introduced simply.

  “What unique names… Hello!” Jiang Yanran and the others all greeted them and introduced themselves. Only Gong Xu remained on high alert and looked at them from the corners of his eyes, displeased.

  Big Dipper excitedly looked at Jiang Yanran. “Hello, goddess! I really met you in person! I’m your fanboy, goddess! Are you… are you really an artist under Sis F—Sis Ye?”


  Seven Star merely nodded in greeting and relaxed when he saw Ye Wanwan’s familiar attitude toward these people. Big Dipper was a particular social butterfly and didn’t take long to familiarize himself with everyone.

  Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

  “No! I’m jealous! Brother Ye, the first person you sought out when you returned from abroad was actually Brother Xianyu!” Gong Xu complained, brimming with jealousy.

  Ye Wanwan raised her eyebrows and spoke matter-of-factly, “Isn’t that natural?”


  “You’re awful, Brother Ye!” Gong Xu wanted to scratch her in anger but couldn’t find anything to retaliate. First come, first serve. There was nothing he could do about the fact that Brother Ye knew Brother Xianyu the longest and had the best relationship with him.

  Ye Wanwan’s joking expression slipped off her face. “Was everyone fine while I was gone?”


  In truth, she visited Han Xianyu first because she wanted to understand the company’s situation as fast as possible, so Han Xianyu was the most suitable option. She didn’t expect everyone to also be there, which was perfect.

  As soon as Ye Wanwan asked that, Gong Xu’s grievances were about to erupt, and he wanted to unleash all of his bitterness.

  Before Gong Xu could respond though, Luo Chen suddenly pinched his waist, eliciting a yelp of pain.

  Sh*t! Blockhead! Why did you pinch me?

  Gong Xu angrily glared at him.

  Luo Chen didn’t even look at Gong Xu as though he wasn’t the one who pinched the man. Without revealing anything in his expression, Luo Chen answered, “Brother Ye, don’t worry. We’re all fine.”


  Gong Xu though:?D*mn! What do you mean fine?! How am I fine?! I’m about to curl into a ball from my mistreatment!

  Before the Age of Immortals was acquired, who in the company would dare to mistreat him? He was the king of the mountain, the beloved pet of the group, the guardian treasure of the house!

  Now? He was about to become a doormat!

  Gong Xu was about to speak when he got pinched by Luo Chen again.

  Ye Wanwan recalled the broadcast she saw when she was in the Independent State. “Emperor Sky Entertainment acquired the Age of Immortals?”


  Luo Chen and the others’ expressions dimmed. It was Han Xianyu who answered. “I’m very sorry, Ye Bai. I wasn’t able to protect the company, but this was the best option under our circumstances.”


  “The company suffered a great impact due to CEO Ye’s charge of homicide. Our chain of funds was broken and we faced bankruptcy. Although Emperor Sky’s acquisition was the same as looting a burning house, at least it saved the company and the company’s operations are rather stable with Yao Jiawen standing in for CEO Ye’s position.”


  Han Xianyu’s expression turned calm toward the end of his explanation, his eyes carrying an innately soothing quality. It was as though the dust really settled and nothing bad happened.

  It was as though this matter was peacefully resolved and they didn’t suffer any tyrannical and unfair treatment.

  Ye Wanwan looked at Han Xianyu and the others with turmoil in her eyes. “Did Emperor Sky make things difficult for you?”


  Jiang Yanran hastily replied, “Although the company was acquired, our status is undeniable, so they didn’t dare to do anything much to us.”


  Based on Han Xianyu and Jiang Yanran’s explanation, allowing Emperor Sky to acquire the company was their own choice and the most suitable option at that time.

  However… the reality was completely different.

  How could they hand over the company they created with their own hands to their archenemy?

  Back then, all of them resisted it to their deaths and tried to protect the company with everything they had. If they took a gamble, they might have been able to overcome this challenge since the company’s foundation was well built before Ye Wanwan left and they had amicable relations with people in the entertainment industry.

  They watched as the company slowly improved, until… the power behind Emperor Sky Entertainment interfered!

  The Hongxing Gang was the biggest mafia gang with the longest history in Harbor City with branches all over Asia; they had an unfathomable background. They only started stepping into the entertainment industry in recent years and used the industry to launder their money in large quantities.

  Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

  Emperor Sky Entertainment somehow hooked onto this connection, using the mafia’s status in the entertainment industry along with the Hongxing Gang’s power to force the sale of the Age of Immortals at a remarkably cheap price.

  Their methods were extremely nauseating…


  They bribed Yao Jiawen and used trust for Yao Jiawen to abduct Jiang Yanran and force Han Xianyu, who was managing the company in trust at that time, to sign an immensely unequal contract.

  If Ye Wanwan knew the truth…


  He couldn’t imagine what she’d do, considering her personality!

  It would be too dangerous for Ye Wanwan to rashly involve herself in this tricky situation.

  Those people had no concept of morals and ethics and completely disregarded the law.

  Ye Wanwan’s circumstances were precarious enough already. Her father and brother were imprisoned still, and she was being targeted by the Ye family; they absolutely couldn’t allow her to endanger herself further due to the company.

  No matter how fearsome she was, she was still a normal girl whose family was struck by disaster…


  Han Xianyu, Luo Chen, and Jiang Yanran agreed on this point without any hesitation.

  Gong Xu, who was too excited at the sight of Ye Wanwan, also swiftly understood.

  His rage dissipated as he blinked and looked at Luo Chen, Jiang Yanran, and then Han Xianyu.

  They stopped him from informing Brother Ye because they didn’t want her to risk herself…


  Gong Xu pursed his lips and suddenly realized he was too impulsive earlier…


  Gong Xu’s Best Actor skills were awoken instantly, and he cooperated with Golden Orchid Awards’ Best Actor Luo Chen, Golden Orchid Awards’ Best Actress Jiang Yanran, and international Best Actor Han Xianyu. He arrogantly exclaimed, “D*mn! Who am I? Who’d dare to make things difficult for us?! I’m the number one popular artist in the entertainment industry right now! They’re more likely to elevate me to an altar and burn incense for me every day!”


  Han Xianyu glanced at Gong Xu, surprised at how cooperative he was.

  However, Han Xianyu didn’t only have good acting skills—he also knew Ye Wanwan well and thought further. He knew she wouldn’t believe it if they sounded too fake.

  Hence, he mixed some truth into the story. “Wanwan, I won’t lie to you. Yao Jiawen is now under Ye Yiyi’s control… People want to ascend higher, and people with different goals go their separate ways. We can’t fault her for that.”


  “Thankfully, in consideration of our previous friendship, she treats us veterans passably, so we’re all doing relatively fine.”


  Gong Xu’s intelligence also went online and matched Han Xianyu’s story. “That woman is too terrible! She actually splashed dirty water onto you to advance herself! But don’t worry, Brother Ye! We personally went to battle and dispersed the rumors and supported you fully. Plus, they don’t have proof, so it won’t impact you too much! The fans still believe in you!”


  “That’s right, Wanwan, focus on handling Uncle Ye and your brother’s matter. Don’t worry about us,” Jiang Yanran comforted her.

  The four of them cooperated with each other flawlessly like a well-oiled machine, and Fei Yang, Xiao-Qing, and Dong-Zai all stayed silent.

  An imperceptible glint flickered through Ye Wanwan’s eyes as she listened to them. She laughed and said, “Then I’m reassured. I’m glad you’re fine. In truth, I’m the one who should apologize since it was my family’s mess that dragged the company down. Since the company has been acquired, focus on advancing your careers and try your best to erase your ties with my family…”
