The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520: 474 What is Xiu Yan? A Statement on Leaving the Circle [2 Updates]

After sending the message, she leaned back in her chair, picked up her cup, and took a sip of water, her gaze cold and indifferent, "Wait for the results, they should be out by the end of a week at the latest."

Yan Ruoxue had originally planned to report in a few days.

But since Ying Zijin had mentioned it, she would immediately report it to the International Virus Center.

Let’s see who will end up being the laughingstock once the results are out.

Yan Ruoxue snorted coldly, her mood darkening further.

At that moment, there was a knock on the laboratory door.

Outside, a voice called out, "Miss Yan, it’s Ji Yiyuan."

Yan Ruoxue turned her head, "Let him in."

The assistant quickly went to open the door.

"Miss Yan," Ji Yiyuan said respectfully, "how’s it going? That Wen Fengmian—"

"Not worth worrying about," Yan Ruoxue said coolly. "His daughter is too arrogant, thinking that being the top scorer in the national college entrance exam, she’s also the top talent in scientific research. Sooner or later, she’ll take a fall."

Arrogance is fine, but one must have the ability to back it up.

"If Miss Yan says so, I’m relieved," Ji Yiyuan said with a smile. "Their loss for not appreciating Miss Yan’s favor."

Yan Ruoxue looked at him, "Your son, Ji Yundong, is not bad. I’ve decided on him for my new experiment. He doesn’t need to give up his achievements, I will ask for an extra title for him from the Inner Court."

"Thank you, Miss Yan," Ji Yiyuan exclaimed joyfully. "I’ll send Yundong over right away, but he won’t be able to join the experiment for a few days as he has an engagement party tomorrow."

Yan Ruoxue frowned, "An engagement party?"

"With the Xiu Family," Ji Yiyuan replied. "A granddaughter dearly beloved by Old Master Xiu. Once the marriage alliance is successful, with the Xiu Family’s support, we won’t lack for funds."

Yan Ruoxue nodded, feeling slightly better.

At least some people in the Ji Family had the good sense to recognize a gem. Not like Ji Yihang’s family, all so blind.

Inside laboratory D34.

Ying Zijin put her phone inside a protective bag and put on gloves.

The equipment in the D-level laboratory might not be as good as that in high-level laboratories, but it was still complete.

The experimental project wasn’t difficult and didn’t require any precious large-scale experimental equipment.

The experiment was carried out by Wen Fengmian, with Ying Zijin and Ji Li assisting him.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

Ying Zijin was still focused on the experiment when Ji Li reminded her, "God Ying, your phone is ringing."

Ying Zijin glanced at the vibrating phone, "Wait until I finish this step."

"Take a break, Yaoyao," Wen Fengmian stopped her, handing over a paper towel, "I’ve asked the canteen to bring food. The experiment is going smoothly, no need to rush."

Ying Zijin wiped her sweat and picked up her phone.

Fu Yunshen obviously knew she was experimenting, so he didn’t call her, just sent a WeChat message.

[Have you eaten yet?]

[Not yet, ordered food, just waiting for delivery.]

[Alright, good, have meals on time, I’ll remind you every day when it’s time.]

Fu Yunshen always knew clearly that when their little friend started to focus on something, she neglected her health.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment and typed a sentence.

[Xiao Yu’s reception party, go and make a show of support.]

[Got it [emoji]]

Ying Zijin stared at the hamster emoji for a long while.

What’s with men nowadays liking cute emojis?

At the Nie Family residence.

Fu Yunshen closed his phone, his eyelashes casting a shadow as he pondered.

"Young Master," after finishing their chat, Yun Shan began to report on the day’s events, "Miss Xiu Yu has returned to the Xiu Family and they are throwing her a reception party tomorrow. They’ve invited quite a few notables from the capital and have sent you an invitation as well. Will you attend?"

Most definitely, the Xiu Family intended to win over the Venus Group.

But Old Master Xiu also knew that the Venus Group was not easy to solicit, and it was just a matter of courtesy to send an invite without actually expecting Fu Yunshen to attend.

"The girlfriend has spoken," Fu Yunshen loosened his tie, languid, "I’ll go."

Yun Shan: "..."

He was finding it increasingly difficult to look his Young Master in the eye.

Fu Yunshen’s fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Just a reception party?"

"No," Yun Shan frowned, "It’s said to be a reception party, but in reality, it’s a celebration for Xiu Yan’s engagement, so many people don’t even know they’ve been deceived. Old Master Xiu really knows how to make plans."

"Hmm," Fu Yunshen murmured indifferently, "we’ll attend in the name of Xiu Yu."

Yun Shan understood.

Miss Xiu Yu was a friend of Miss Ying, so naturally they paid attention.

A few minutes later, he returned with Xiu Yan.

"Your talent agency has gone under, so just stay at home now," Old Master Xiu said blandly, "The circle of socialites knows about your illegitimate status, so I’ve arranged a marriage for you, someone you know, named Ji Yundong."

"The Ji Family has already agreed, so tomorrow is your engagement banquet. Don’t embarrass me."

Xiu Yan pursed her lips, feeling very restless inside, but remained obedient on the surface, "Thank you, Grandfather."

She certainly knew Ji Yundong.

Originally, he was supposed to marry Xiu Yu.

Xiu Yu could capriciously leave the family, reject the marriage, and she was to pick up what Xiu Yu didn’t want?

Why should she?

And to notify her just one day in advance, what did they take her for?

A tool for arranged marriage?

Xiu Yan knew Old Master Xiu favored boys over girls and even took joy in boasting to Xiu Yu that Old Master Xiu preferred her brother.

But when the slap hit her, it hurt.

"Now, release a statement retiring from the industry," Old Master Xiu spoke again. "The Ji Family is a family of researchers; they cannot have a daughter-in-law who mingles in the entertainment industry. They don’t need you to do anything, just hold up appearances."

At least Xiu Yan’s appearance was quite good among the socialites of the capital, or else it wouldn’t have been possible for her to debut in the entertainment industry.

Xiu Yan, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, said, "I understand, Grandfather."

"Let me remind you, don’t underestimate the Ji Family," Old Master Xiu said, sensing her inner thoughts and frowning, "The Ji Family’s prestige internationally is higher than the Xiu Family’s. This marriage is you marrying up."

"Once you marry into the Ji Family and expand your social network, who would still speak ill of you?"

Xiu Yan pursed her lips and remained silent, resigning herself to return to her room and begin writing her retirement statement.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the hot search list featured a new trending topic.

#Xiu Yan, Exiting the Entertainment Industry#

After Skywalk Entertainment collapsed, its stars also jumped ship.

Xiu Yan’s fans also thought that she could be spotted by a better talent agency, but they did not expect her retirement statement.

[@XiuYanV: It’s been wonderful getting to know so many people in the entertainment industry, including my most beloved fans. Thank you for your support along the way, but I can’t be with you anymore. My family has demanded that I return home, but who knows, you might still see me on TV in the future.]

The statement stirred up a storm of reactions.

[Is my baby finally going back to inherit billions in family wealth?!]

[I’m so jealous, others enter the entertainment industry to work, while Yan Bao was just experiencing life, incomparable.]

[Didn’t I hear that the Xiu Family also took back a lady, is Yan Bao going back to fight with the illegitimate daughter?]
