Extra Chapter 9: Brother’s Story

After this matter came out, it was a fatal blow to Qi Yan.

Especially after her parents heard the news.

She received a call from her mother three days later.

As soon as the call connected, her mother reprimanded her for participating in that show and for dating someone like Nan Zhe.

On the phone, her mother began to cry as she spoke. In the years her father was in jail, Qi Yan had never seen her mother cry. In front of her, her mother had always pretended to be strong.

Soon, the call was picked up by her father. Her father told her not to worry and hurriedly hung up.

Actually, her parents had done a lot for her. They were afraid of affecting her future, so the couple had yet to remarry.

After comforting her mother, her father called again late at night.

“How long have you been dating Nan Zhe? Why didn’t you tell your family?” Mr. Qi was no stranger to the name Nan Zhe.

Previously, when he was still in Jiang City, he had interacted with the Nan family once. He had long heard of Nan Zhe, the son of the Nan family.

He also knew that Qi Yan and Nan Zhe were classmates in junior high school, but he did not expect the two of them to be together after so many years.

Mr. Qi’s tone was normal. He was just asking, unlike her mother.

“Not that long…” Qi Yan was a little vexed and blamed herself. “It’s not his fault. In the beginning, I went on the show because I wanted to have more opportunities to study. He also deliberately avoided it, but for some reason, he was photographed. I didn’t expect things to develop like this. I didn’t think it through at the beginning. If I hadn’t gone on this show, there wouldn’t have been so many problems.”

“I don’t mean to blame you. Instead, I feel that I’ve implicated you. As long as you and Nan Zhe are dating normally, I won’t have any objections. I’ll persuade your mother more. Most importantly, I hope you can clarify things in time.”

“Just say that your mother and I divorced a long time ago. You don’t know the details. Dad has already affected you for so many years. I can’t delay your future anymore.”

“Or I can take a video and you can help me upload it. I’ll talk to them.” Qi Yan understood what her father meant.

However, she did not want to push her father out at this time and wash her hands clean.

“There’s no need, Dad. It’s actually not that serious. Everyone just finds it novel for now. It’ll be fine after a couple of days.”

After hanging up, Qi Yan thought for a long time alone.

The next morning, the production team specially called. No matter how subtle the other party was, she could tell what he meant.

He hoped that she would quit this show.

“Little Qi, you used to be half a member of the industry. It’s not that you don’t understand this situation. We know that you’re very outstanding. In the show, be it the effect or professionalism, you’re not inferior to others. However, we’re a variety show after all. Now, many people are giving low marks. We don’t even dare to open our private message function on the platform.”

“Besides, if you’re still on the show, the intensity of the scandal will definitely not decrease for a while. After you quit, you can still continue working. Anyway, your work is behind the scenes. It won’t affect you at all.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Nan Zhe had seen the news on the Internet that she had quit the show. He drove to her place immediately.

The doorbell rang for a long time before there was a trace of movement inside. Then, the door opened and Qi Yan appeared in front of him in her loose-fitting pajamas.

She was not surprised to see him, but there was no joy on her face.

She nodded expressionlessly and turned to let him in.

“They forced you to leave the show?” When the door closed, Nan Zhe blocked her and trapped her between him and the door.

He thought that he understood Qi Yan quite well. According to her personality, she definitely wouldn’t take the initiative to quit.

“No.” Qi Yan shrugged and was even calmer than him. “I thought about it carefully. Quitting is the best choice at the moment. It’s also for my parents’ sake.”

“Don’t be angry. This isn’t a bad thing.”

‘ Nan Zhe originally wanted to stand up for her. The show was already in the second half, and she had so much hope of winning in the end.

However, when she said that it was for her parents, he could only swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“It’s okay. Don’t I still have a studio? It won’t affect me much. I’ll work as usual in the future. Don’t worry, I don’t care about the things online.”

Since she had already said so much, Nan Zhe could only give up on this topic. “I happen to have time now. Shall we go out then?”

He was referring to the holiday plan that the two of them had put aside for a long time.

Qi Yan’s eyes lit up. “Sure!” In order to participate in the show, she had long freed up her schedule. Although the studio was still operating, it was the other photographers who were busy. It had nothing to do with her.

Coupled with the fact that she had so many things on her mind recently, it was indeed time for her to go out and relax.

Going into Tibet was indeed a good choice. She could run away from her usual fast-paced life and relax.

“So when do we leave?” “It depends on your mood. Anytime.”

“Your company…”

“I’m fine.”

Although he said that, Qi Yan still decided to give him two days to settle his work. After all, it was not a small matter.

In the past two days, Qi Yan had not been idle. She took the time to prepare things, from food to some simple equipment.

This time, they had plenty of time. The two of them planned to start a self-driving tour and have fun.

They would travel on their own for a long time, so it was no different from living together. The two of them had been together for so long, but this was the first time getting to see each other every day for more than a month.

Qi Yan was still looking forward to it.

Previously, the two of them were both busy She was already very satisfied with having a meal every week. Now, she did not even dare to think about it.

The next afternoon, the two of them communicated over the phone and agreed to set off tomorrow morning.

As she was packing her luggage, Qi Yan heard the doorbell ring.

She thought it was a delivery. When she opened the door, she saw two unfamiliar people.

One of them was an old granny, and the other looked to be in her forties, but she was very well-maintained. Judging from their clothes, they were not ordinary people.

“Who are you looking for?” For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

The old lady sized her up and didn’t say anything. Instead, the woman beside her asked, “Are you Qi Yan?”

“It’s me. You are?”

“This is Nan Zhe’s grandmother.” The woman supported the old lady beside her and looked menacing.

Qi Yan was stunned and quickly greeted her. Her gaze shifted to the woman’s face, and she hesitated. “Are you Nan Zhe’s mother?”

Nan Zhe’s mother was about the same age, right?

In her memory, she had never seen Nan Zhe’s mother before, so she could only judge by her age.

“I’m Nan Zhe’s second aunt. The old lady and I came over today mainly to talk

to you about Nan Zhe..”
