Jiang Mingyao has been on a downward spiral since leaving Kanghua.

He was unwilling to leave me and be nothing.

That's why he was so determined to hold a concert to prove himself.

But things didn't go as planned.

Although he had some musical talent, he couldn't sustain that title in the highly competitive entertainment industry without packaging.

In the end, he pinned his hopes on his fans.

But Chu Yue took the money and ran away.

The concert couldn't be held, and the fans' money couldn't be repaid.

Jiang Mingyao was completely finished.

After Jiang Mingyao was imprisoned, I allocated funds from the Star-Making Foundation to repay the fans on his behalf.

Of course, the specific amount was announced on Kanghua Entertainment's official blog.

I visited the prison.

Jiang Mingyao looked desolate, completely devoid of his youthful appearance.

He asked me, "You knew all along that I resented you and your father for my father's matter. Since you knew the truth, why didn't you tell me?"

I told him the truth, "I always thought you knew. After all, Uncle Jiang took you out to buy a house and that's why he would drive a taxi late at night."

Jiang Mingyao bowed his head in silence.

After a while, he said, "I knew he went out to drive a taxi at night, but I didn't dare say it. I was afraid that if you knew, you would kick me out of the Qi family. So I kept brainwashing myself and eventually convinced myself that it was your family that harmed my father and me.

"So I ignored your affection and enjoyed your love as a victim.

"Even when I thought I didn't need you anymore, I unhesitatingly pushed you away.

"I'm sorry, Qi Jin."

I nodded understandingly and left.

The sunlight was just right, and the busy Lu Huizhou was squatting under a tree, counting ants.

Two years later, I turned thirty.

Kanghua Entertainment was handed over to Manman to manage.

My brother held up the banner at the group, and the Qi family embarked on a new chapter.

My parents settled in Singapore and began their retirement life.

That same year, Lu Huizhou turned thirty-one.

The Lu family cut down half of its projects and focused on hotel operations.

Lu Huizhou hired professional managers to run the business, and he returned to the hospital through the medical examination.

Continuing his career as a cardiovascular surgeon.

So we decided to have a simple lawn wedding on a beautiful spring day.

Before the wedding, I asked Lu Huizhou, "When did you start liking me?"

Lu Huizhou said, "I fell in love with you at first sight."

I didn't believe it. The first time I saw him was at the medical center, and I was in my most embarrassing state.

But Lu Huizhou shook his head and said,

"The first time I saw you was in high school.

"I had just been brought back to the Lu family because of my good grades.

"The people from the Lu family, together with other students, bullied me.

"You descended from the sky and shouted, 'I'll protect this guy from now on.'

"That was the first time I saw you.

"Later, they said you were Qi Chen's sister, Qi Jin, the youngest daughter of the Qi family.

"From that moment on, no one bullied me again.

"You are my hero."
