"I remember now. Ten million?" Ye Yan confirmed as she looked at her haggard self in the mirror, her tone calm and without a trace of fluctuation.

"Yes, I'll write you an IOU and let them pay you back slowly later." Zhou Yun promised.

In fact, she knew very well that Yu Hong would not return the money and could not return it. She said this just to save some dignity as a mother in front of Ye Yan.

Besides, she also knew that even if she wrote an IOU, Ye Yan would not ask her to pay back the money.

But it still sounded a bit funny to Ye Yan. Ten million, and asked a family whose combined monthly salary was less than ten thousand yuan to pay it back. It sounded so hypocritical.

Zhou Yun was not like this before. Instead, it was Ye Youcheng who did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father and husband when he was young, and the family relied on Zhou Yun alone to support it. Unexpectedly, after so many years, they have both changed dramatically.

After Zhou Yun became famous, Ye Youcheng only asked him for a house, and he didn't make any requirements at the time. It was Ye Yan who took the initiative to buy him a large apartment because Zhou Yun wanted a big house and he had to treat them equally.

Since then, Ye Youcheng has never asked him for money again. Every year on his birthday, Ye Youcheng would even send him a five-digit red envelope and call him to wish him a happy birthday.

Although the money was taken out of his own pocket, the meaning was different. Ye Yan was very willing to receive such a red envelope, because only then would he feel the happiness of being loved by his father and remember that he had a family.

On the contrary, Zhou Yun, the mother who loved him the most when he was a child, after getting divorced and giving birth to his younger brother Yu Feiming, the only thing in her life was her hard-earned "new home".

"I can give you the money, but I have one condition. The house must be in your name. I will only buy the house for you, and you don't need to write an IOU. You should discuss this with your husband. If you don't agree, don't mention this to me again."

He didn't want to make things difficult for Zhou Yun, nor did he want to put himself in a difficult position. This was his biggest concession.

Zhou Yun understood him. After all, she had no choice but to ask her son for help. However, she seemed to be very clear that they could not meet Ye Yan's condition, and it was difficult for her to agree to it for the time being.

"Write my name... Even if Yu Hao agrees, my daughter-in-law's family won't agree. This..."

"Why are you still troubled? Mom, you haven't cared about me for so many years."

If you care about me and take a look at the news about me online, you will know that I am hurt.

Obviously she didn't. Apart from her own team, the only person who was willing to care about his latest news every day was Xu Qingran.

This question stumped Zhou Yun, and guilt and embarrassment suddenly surged from the depths of her heart like a tide.

"Over the years, I've indeed neglected communication and care with you because I was taking care of my brother. Besides, you've grown up and are busy with work, so I don't know when is the right time to call you. I hope you understand. As for the house, are you sure you have to put my name on it?"

After a simple explanation, the topic turned back to the house. Ye Yan was not only not comforted, but felt hurt instead.

He let out a breath, looked up at his hand wrapped in gauze, and suddenly felt that his life was not really successful, and was full of regrets.

"Of course I have to write your name. I have no obligation to give 10 million to outsiders. Contact me after you've discussed it. I have to go and get busy. I'm hanging up now."

He hung up the phone first. This was the first time he was impolite because he was afraid that if he said one more word, his tears would betray his calmness.

His eyes were still red, and he turned around and leaned against the mirror, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid.

"You are my mother... Why do you want to exploit me for someone else's son... Then what am I... An orphan born from your womb..."

Some people would be jealous if their good friend made new friends, let alone if their mother became someone else's family member and chose to claim their own son for them.

He did have a lot of money, but what was more important was the physical and mental torture he had endured to get to where he was today.

He seemed to be in trouble again. After coming to his senses, he wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and turned to look at himself in the mirror.

"You're becoming more and more sentimental, Ye Yan. You're so heartbroken over such a small thing. I almost don't recognize you anymore."

The person opposite looked pale and gloomy, without any of the passionate love. He looked more like a tattered doll, pretty but with the light out.

Regarding the topic of Ye Yan's injury on the Internet, Ye Yan Studio quickly responded after Tan Zhuoxi discussed it with the management of Feiying Entertainment.

Thank you for your concern. I hadn't intended to disclose this to the public out of concern for everyone. Ye Yan suffered a minor injury, not from training, but from an accident at home. The recovery period is expected to be between two weeks and a month. As for whether this will affect the filming of "Chu Cheng," the studio, on behalf of Ye Yan, solemnly responds to all fans and netizens: "Chu Cheng" will continue to film on schedule as originally planned. However, the filming schedule for scenes involving the protagonist, Jiang Xuecheng, will be adjusted based on Ye Yan's recovery. Beyond that, there will be no other changes. Let's look forward to "Jiang Xuecheng" and the upcoming "Black and White" in September. Yan Yunchao will see you at the cinema."

It was a very official statement, and it did not reveal how Ye Yan was injured.

Because Tan Zhuoxi knew that Ye Yan would not want the fact that she was about to have an ugly scar on her hand to be made public.

On Xu Qingran's first day at work, he met with many branch managers and listened to countless work reports. After all, the president was transferred here quietly, which caught them off guard.

The ATIM Group branch building faces the Jiusheng Group Financial Center across the river. Xu Qingran, who had just finished a meeting, sat in the boss chair, holding a cup of coffee and gazing at the company of his "rival" with joy.

Knock, knock, knock. After the knock on the door, Qiao Lin opened the door and walked in. Xu Qingran put down the chair with his legs crossed, turned around and changed direction.

"I still have an hour until get off work ends. Let's order a table of Xiaoye's favorite dishes."

"Okay, but before that you have one important thing to deal with..."

Qiao Lin said with a complicated expression that it seemed there was urgent work that needed his attention. This was bad news, and Xu Qingran's interest was instantly dampened.

"What's the matter?" His tone was slightly dissatisfied, as if something had delayed him from returning to his own world with Ye Yan.

He was prepared to work overtime for a while, but things are unpredictable, and some emergencies are more difficult for him to deal with than work accidents.

"Miss Bai is here and is waiting for you in the reception room."

"Who are you talking about? Bai Wenwen?" Xu Qingran was surprised, and his expression looked like he had heard about some terrible trouble.

Are you kidding me? What is she doing here...
