Li Wanrong insists her daughter break up with someone named Chen and encourages Jiang Chen, while Pei Yunxi questions Jiang Chen's sincerity. Pei Linhan tries to mediate, and Old Pei supports Jiang Chen, who is trying to win over Li Wanrong. Li Wanrong decides Jiang Chen should stay the night, angering Pei Yunxi. Jiang Chen proposes returning the next day with gifts, which pleases Li Wanrong, but then he accidentally reveals he knew about a gift to Pei Yunxi, causing Pei Yunxi to push his hand away in frustration.

Jiang Chen didn’t laugh. Compared to the others, he appeared more like a seasoned entertainment industry practitioner. He wasn’t sure if he’d beaten his opponents, but his KDA in this match definitely overshadowed his teammates in every way.

"The room hasn’t been tidied up yet, why hurry?"

It’s too early for a mother-in-law to view her son-in-law with growing fondness.

But at least there’s a sense of regret for meeting so late, judging by Li Wanrong’s appearance, she seemed to want to continue the heart-to-heart conversation with someone.

No.

The clock was already pointing towards midnight.

Is it really thirty years of sleepiness followed by thirty years of sleeplessness?

Boss Jiang couldn’t help but take another sip of his refreshing black coffee.

"I’ll go tidy up."

Pei Linhan rose, supporting himself on his knees. At an advanced age, maintaining such intense matches inevitably drains his energy, leaving him a bit dizzy and needing to relax and rest.

He also took the woolen hat which performed wonders with him, after the match, he could retire with glory.

Pei Yunduo felt a bit awkward at this time, standing there felt wrong, sitting down felt wrong, leaving felt even worse.

Although she was a national goddess with countless fans who would cling to car windows pleading her not to leave, at this moment, she appeared to be just an ordinary woman, so ordinary she was almost overlooked.

"Jiang, in which year were you born, born on which day? What time approximately?"

Li Wanrong’s eyes nearly overflowed with kindness, looking at Boss Jiang without a trace of respect.

There’s no need to complicate things; it’s basically just the four-word birth details.

"I can’t quite remember the exact time, but it was likely during the night; I can check it later."

"Duoduo was born in the afternoon when the weather was the clearest... Actually, when I was pregnant with her, my mother-in-law, her grandmother, consulted a fortune teller, elderly people believe in these things, and the fortune teller said she wouldn’t encounter major obstacles in her life, would be blessed, and supported by benefactors all along."

Overlooked Pei Yunxi stood beside her, indignant but refraining from opposing for the sake of opposition.

Blessed.

Regarding this point, she wouldn’t deny.

Many people in this industry attribute their success to their efforts, but then isn’t effort just the foundation?

If effort guaranteed success, pyramids would have long been crowded.

Furthermore, compared to peers, she’s not even considered "hardworking," picking and choosing roles, using body doubles for intimate scenes, not even living up to being professional, let alone socializing with major directors and investors in private.

She really was fortunate.

Upon debut, she had Sister Yang Ni shelter her from storms, and encountering storms Yang Ni couldn’t shield her from, someone sprang forth from the stone egg.

Originally thought to be a mere monkey, turned out it was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

If it hadn’t been for this guy.

She might have been unable to escape the fate of most actresses, confined to a cage.

So.

Was her life predestined when her mother conceived her?

Is a person’s fate truly written before they are born?

In her mind, her agitated emotions drifted away, leaving Pei Yunxi oblivious to a certain question.

The essence of the matter seemed unchanged.

Didn’t Lord of Golden Sea treat her courteously as well?

The difference seemed to be.

——Boss Jiang is a young fellow; he’s younger than Shi Zhenhua.

"The fortune teller must have left out a statement. This child is the good fortune of the entire family."

"Who says otherwise."

Li Wanrong lightly patted her thigh, grinning broadly, treating Boss Jiang as an insider, "Not hiding it from you, Jiang, our whole family, including Auntie’s side and your Uncle Pei’s side, were mere ordinary people. If not for Duoduo, they might still be."

"Aren’t they ordinary now?"

Pei Yunxi sat back down leisurely, her words seemingly with a barb, yet her tone was actually composed.

Li Wanrong glanced at her daughter and fell silent.

Boss Jiang smiled, empathetically stepping in to speak, "Excessive humility is just arrogance. If your family is still considered ordinary, attaining a well-off society would be a distant dream, even an impossible one."

"Indeed, we haven’t stolen or robbed, all are legitimate earnings, what’s there to hide? Striving and working hard, isn’t it to live a better life? So it’s a worthy pride, you living a life superior to others precisely proves your excellence, those fearful are often out of guilt! The chairman comes from the people, dares to go back to the people, face to face hand in hand with them, which people don’t dare? Which ones fear?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrow slightly, suddenly showing solemn respect.

"Mom, can you stop talking nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense? What did I say wrong?"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "What Auntie said isn’t wrong, but some things aren’t suitable for Auntie to say. Yunxi is a public figure, you’re her family. If utilized by those with ulterior motives, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."

Li Wanrong stayed silent for a moment, then nodded with a softened tone, "I understand. As a celebrity, their every move and word is watched by countless people, every action or speech is amplified, so Old Pei and I have always been cautious, fearing it might implicate Duoduo, we don’t even dare let people know who our daughter is."

Wasn’t it agreed to avoid sentimentality?

Comrade Jiang Chen held the coffee cup, sighing slightly, "Hmm, today when I entered the neighborhood, I bumped into a courier; he’s in charge of deliveries in this area and has delivered to Auntie, yet he thought Uncle Pei and Auntie were DINKs, without children."

Li Wanrong gave a bitter smile.

"Auntie and Uncle Pei have been working hard."

What’s going on?

Has a new match started?

"What’s there to be difficult about? Life is like this, with gains comes loss, can’t ask for everything, you agree, right?"

To counter time, besides the power of money, attitude is also crucial.

Chatting reached this point, Jiang Chen roughly understood this Auntie’s secret for staying young.

Moreover, she didn’t just talk like others.

She has indeed unified knowledge and action.

Honestly speaking, having such parents is also a kind of luck.

"Auntie’s thoughts are well-rounded, undoubtedly with your support, Yunxi can pursue her career without worries."

"Certainly not. Her desire to be a star, her father was firmly against it back then. If not for me, Jiang, your company might have missed out on a pillar artist..."

"Whether there’s an artist or not is irrelevant. I’m grateful to Auntie for the opportunity to meet Yunxi."

Overwhelmed with emotions, Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but glance at the unflinching person.

"Haha, you’re right. If Duoduo hadn’t taken this path, her life trajectory would have been completely different; you wouldn’t have met."

Li Wanrong sighed, "Life, it’s just so marvelous."

Neither of the two juniors spoke, remaining silent, each absorbed in their thoughts.

"Where are the blankets?"

Pei Linhan stood upstairs, "I can’t find them."

"Oh, men."

Li Wanrong was forced to stand up.

"Besides knitting that raggedy wool of yours, what else can you do? It’s on the blue cabinet on the second wall of the storage room..."

The match ended, and the alliance immediately dissolved.

Li Wanrong grumbled while heading upstairs.

Jiang Chen focused on his coffee, sipping it while preparing for the moment he’d be sent away in a deserted house.

But unexpectedly, no anticipated harsh words sounded.

"How have you decided to write the story’s ending?"

Indeed, a top-notch actress, adjusting her mindset so quickly.

Boss Jiang pondered, then his gaze fell, unfocused, deep and profound expression: "When we stop focusing on endings, the journey itself shines brightly."

Pei Yunduo’s reply was prompt.

A direct answer rang crisply.

"Get lost."
