Ye Yan temporarily moved back to his own home to reunite with Ye Youcheng. He wanted to feel the warmth of having his family by his side, even if it was only temporarily.

After learning about this, Xiao Rui offered to be a tour guide and take the two elders out for a walk. Ye Yan had no objection and generously transferred 50,000 yuan to her.

"They buy whatever they like, and the rest will be your hard work fee."

"Thank you, idol. I promise to complete the task."

Xiao Rui is a very good girl, and Ye Yan is very satisfied with her, just like she was satisfied with her assistant named Xu.

In fact, he also wanted to go out for some fresh air, but how could someone living under the spotlight just leave? So he remembered the birthday party Xu Qingran had told him about, and suddenly he was looking forward to it.

While he was quietly recovering from his injury and enjoying the warmth of his family, training camp was coming to an end.

This means that [Chu Cheng] is about to start filming.

Ye Yan didn't want to miss the opening ceremony, so in the last few days before the start of filming, he tried his best to follow the doctor's instructions, including what to eat and what not to eat, and how many times a day to apply the medicine.

This was the first time he cared so much about his health, because he didn't want to miss the opening ceremony due to a serious injury and become a hot topic. He hoped that all his headlines would be because of honor.

He fulfilled the promise the studio made to fans. On the day of filming started, it was the first time Ye Yan got up early in 20 days since his injury.

He sat in front of the makeup mirror wearing gloves specially customized for him by the costume designer. The "Jiang Xuecheng" look was already half done, with his white hair hanging down to his waist, cold as frost.

With a large-scale production with hundreds of millions of dollars invested and the participation of two superstars, Ye Yan and Ji Yunzhi, this drama is destined to attract a lot of attention.

Hundreds of media outlets and a large number of fans descended on Yunlin Film and Television City just for this rare opening ceremony of Ye Yan's first TV series, and the first collaboration between the two most popular male actors in the entertainment industry.

The black glove that Ye Yan wore today was not included in her original makeup look, so when she made her first glamorous return to the public eye after her injury and stood at the launch conference, the shutter clicks of all the media present were silent for three minutes.

"Are you wearing gloves because of an injury?"

"How does Ye Yan feel about acting in a period costume for the first time?"

"Excuse me, is the injury on your hand an external one or a bone injury? Has it healed enough to not affect filming?"

"If the fight scenes can't be filmed, will a body double be used to complete them?"

"Would you consider switching to television in the future?"

"It seems like you two are friends. I wonder what you think about the Yunye couple topic? Do you like the fans' star-chasing style of shipping couples?"

"Is Yun Zhi afraid that Ye Yan will steal your limelight?"

The media in the group interview session rushed in like a high school cafeteria, asking questions one after another, each one sharp and not a single one was wasted.

It was too noisy. Looking at the countless shaking microphones and jumping heads in front of her, Ye Yan felt inexplicably dizzy and her palms were sweating.

"Steal my limelight? Of course I'm not afraid. He's Ye Yan, not someone else. Let alone stealing the limelight, I have no problem even playing a supporting role for him."

Fortunately, Ji Yunzhi took the initiative to answer a question, covering up Ye Yan's unnatural silence.

However, Ji Yunzhi's answer was too imaginative, and the reporters present seemed to have seized a good opportunity to hype the news, and they moved the microphones closer to them.

"Then what does Ye Yan think about Ji Yunzhi being willing to be your supporting role? You two should have a good relationship, right?"

"Will you have dinner together?"

When Ye Yan heard the reporter cue him, he came to his senses. He could only hold the microphone with his left hand. Seeing that he was struggling, Ji Yunzhi immediately took the microphone from his hand and held it for him.

Ye Yan did not refuse, but just glanced at Ji Yunzhi quietly. The moment he turned around, a familiar figure outside the crowd came into his sight.

Xu Qingran, dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, was watching him silently under the cover of his fans. There was no way he wouldn't be able to attend the opening ceremony today.

His superior personal conditions made him stand out like a crane among chickens, and even the nearsighted Ye Yan could recognize him at a glance.

Ye Yan smiled, withdrew her gaze and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Yes, we are friends, but we don't have time to have dinner together. We are all very busy. If we have time, we would probably prefer to rest at home or spend time with our families."

"My hand, which you just asked about, is much better now. Thank you for your concern. I won't use a body double because it's an external injury and no bones are broken."

Ye Yan only answered two questions. One was to explain that he and Ji Yunzhi were not that close, and the other was to deny using a stand-in.

After seeing Xu Qingran, his inexplicable nervousness suddenly disappeared, and the interview gradually became smoother.

Behind the crowd, Xu Qingran felt wonderful to see the shining star standing in front of the camera again.

Because just a few days ago, Ye Yan was still in a depressed mood for some reasons he couldn't guess.

However, Ye Yan took the initiative to deny in front of the media that he and Ji Yunzhi would meet privately. He was very satisfied with this and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

He asked Qiao Lin to call a staff member and instruct him to deliver his startup gift.

It is a bouquet of 101 white roses, covered with a layer of light green tulle, which is unique in taste.

When the staff member handed the flowers to Ye Yan, they whispered something in his ear. Because he was an actor, he controlled his expression very naturally and smiled calmly.

"It was given to me by investor Mr. Xu." That's what the staff told him.

Xu Qingran seemed particularly keen on giving him flowers, all kinds of flowers.

Ye Yan didn't know why he thought she liked flowers, and Xu Qingran didn't know either. He just knew that he wanted to give Ye Yan the most beautiful thing. All he could think of on this earth were flowers and diamonds.

After all, he couldn't bring the stars in the sky and the aurora in Iceland to Ye Yan.

Ye Yan asked reporters to take photos while holding the bouquet of flowers. It was very heavy, so he couldn't hold it for too long.

After taking the photo, Tan Zhuoxi took the flowers from Ye Yan's hand. As the interview came to an end, they were also preparing to leave the scene.

Just as the staff were evacuating the crowd, someone from the group of reporters suddenly took out his cell phone and started shouting loudly.

"Ye Yan, wait a minute! A post just appeared online, saying that after you became famous, you treated your divorced parents differently. You went back to your father's house for the holidays to reunite but didn't visit your biological mother. You also took your father and stepmother to S City for shopping and entertainment. You even arranged for your stepmother's daughter to work as your assistant, and your salary is twice as high as her peers. You are so kind to your stepmother and stepsister, but you ignore your biological mother and brother. You also hung up on your mother's calls for help countless times. The whistleblower claims to be a relative of yours. Can you respond?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene exploded. All the reporters immediately took out their mobile phones to confirm. After finding out that it was true, they ignored the staff's attempts to stop them and rushed towards Ye Yan on the stage again like a tide.

Ye Yan was stunned. She was instantly squeezed into the crowd and could hardly stand. She was at a loss.

"Ye Yan, please clarify! Is there any unhappiness between you and your biological mother that causes you to not care about her?"

"How old were you when your parents divorced? The post said you were with your dad at the time, but your mom has always been the one paying for your living expenses and supporting you through college. Why are you so indifferent to her?"

"Is the new female assistant really your stepsister?"

"I heard from the whistleblower that you are jealous of your younger brothers because they have your mother to take care of them, so you ignore them. Is that true?"

"So is it true? Are you really so unfilial? Please answer."

"Is this your assistant? May I ask if you are the daughter of Ye Yan's stepmother?"

The sharp-eyed reporters noticed Xiao Rui who was crowding next to Ye Yan with other staff members. Others didn't want to miss out on the first-hand information, so countless microphones were put to Ye Yan and Xiao Rui's mouths.

They were trapped in the crowd and had no way out. They ignored the scolding of Tan Zhuoxi and the bodyguards. The scene was in chaos. Ji Yunzhi took advantage of the fact that their attention was not on him and was led out by his bodyguards with difficulty.

"Everyone, please make way! We'll reply to any questions on the studio's official blog later. He's still injured, so please don't crowd him, okay?!"

"It's all fake! Ye Yan is very filial to his parents, there is no discrimination. His father came to visit him to check on his injuries, not to play at all."

"Then how do you explain the photo online of the assistant taking a middle-aged couple shopping in a luxury store? Those are Ye Yan's father and stepmother, right?"

"Ye Yan, your mother carries a 100-yuan bag to buy groceries, but you buy your stepmother tens of thousands of brand-name items. Aren't you afraid that your mother will be disappointed?"

Those "reporters" who make a living by reporting celebrity gossip didn't want to let him go at all. During the shoving, the handle of a microphone hit the back of Ye Yan's hand, causing him to scream in pain.

"Ah..." It hurts so much. He was swayed by the crowded crowd and couldn't stand still. He leaned all over the bodyguard.

Why, I've already given them a life of abundance they couldn't even dream of, yet they're still not satisfied and want to hurt me out of greed...

He seemed to be unable to hear the noise at the scene, only the heartache was particularly clear.

Tan Zhuoxi wanted to hold his hand, but found that it was covered in blood.

The scabbed wound cracked open and was deeply scratched, causing bleeding.

"Get out of the way!" Just when the situation could no longer be calmed down, an angry shout came from behind the crowd, shocking everyone to turn around.

Xu Qingran had taken off his sunglasses, and with a gloomy face and sharp eyes, he pushed through the crowd and walked to Ye Yan.

He used his broad back to block Ye Yan and protect him in his arms. He held him with one hand and blocked the camera closest to him with the other. His slender fingers seemed able to crush the lens with a little force.

He turned around, and the reporters crowded in the front suddenly stopped talking. They looked up at his profile that looked like a famous European painting and his murderous eyes like a falcon, and felt inexplicably trembling in their hearts.

"We're going to sue the person who posted that for spreading rumors and damaging their reputation. The compensation for emotional distress and damages will conservatively be one million. Have you saved enough money and want to join him?"
