Chapter 372: Showing Up

Fang Junfeng, seeing Ye Xuan’s firm attitude, had to give up his original idea. He picked up his coffee and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about Miss Shen’s matters. I’m leaving your circle of Awakened Ones now and continuing to live in the circle of ordinary people. To be honest, I really admire you. It’s because of the existence of Awakened Ones like you that other ordinary people can live and work in peace. I’ll raise my coffee to you instead of wine, cheers!”

Ye Xuan had no good feelings towards Shen Biru and didn’t want her to influence Mengli’s life, but Fang Junfeng had indeed changed. Previously, he had taken the sissy route and his abilities were disgusting. Now, Fang Junfeng was an ordinary person walking the tough guy path. Although he wasn’t tough enough yet, he was completely different from before.

Ye Xuan gave Fang Junfeng face and had coffee with him, chatting casually. “Why did you suddenly start walking the tough guy path? Your current image is much more comfortable to look at than before.”

Fang Junfeng chuckled, “Isn’t it like experiencing a life and death situation? Although there wasn’t a real danger to my life, it was like hanging by a thread. First, I acted impulsively and used my ultimate ability, only to make a sterilized cat pregnant. Then I was forced to let Senior Chen Zhengdao live a second life. I not only became disabled but also blinded. I was so desperate at that time. However, Senior Chen’s words restored my sight, but my abilities were permanently lost. I left your circle of Awakened Ones, returned to my original circle, went through ups and downs, gained some insights, and became what I am now.”

Upon hearing Fang Junfeng’s words, Ye Xuan smiled and said, “That’s great, keep it up!”

Gratefully, Fang Junfeng replied, “I am honored to receive recognition from the top talent of China!”

Meanwhile, at Ye Xuan’s villa, an unexpected guest arrived – Shen Biru. Shen Biru pretended to seek out the younger generation of the entertainment industry, Fang Junfeng, to communicate with Ye Xuan, hoping to meet her daughter and reunite as mother and daughter.

Fang Junfeng believed Shen Biru’s words and arranged to meet Ye Xuan. However, Shen Biru’s actual plan was different. In her eyes, Ye Xuan, her future son-in-law, was an obstacle to reuniting with her daughter. If her daughter had no boyfriend and was alone, her only relatives in the world would be her biological parents. However, if she had a boyfriend or was already married, the situation would be different. With a man’s support, even if she was Su Mengli’s biological mother, it would be difficult to reclaim her daughter.

Therefore, after some consideration, Shen Biru decided to use Fang Junfeng to lure Ye Xuan out, then, in Ye Xuan’s absence, find her daughter and directly claim her without Ye Xuan’s interference. Su Mengli, without Ye Xuan by her side, would be thrown into chaos upon suddenly meeting her birth mother. Shen Biru planned to take advantage of this opportunity to repair their mother-daughter relationship as much as possible.

If Ye Xuan was present, Su Mengli would remain calm and have a strong inner self, rendering Shen Biru’s efforts useless. Ye Xuan’s suspicions about Shen Biru were entirely accurate.

Years ago, Shen Biru had a relationship with a talented musician who promised to marry her. However, due to parental disapproval, the engagement was called off, leaving Shen Biru pregnant. This incident changed her personality significantly. Initially, she was somewhat naive and romantic, but after giving birth, she focused solely on her career, disregarding love and her child.

After secretly giving birth, she handed the child over to her agency to be sent away, never wanting to see the child again. As her career flourished, she married a wealthy foreign businessman and had two children. However, her husband’s investments in the island nation were ruined by the invasion of the World-Destroying Dragon Whale, leading to bankruptcy.

Shen Biru had to participate in various variety shows to earn money as her husband had gone bankrupt. At this time, her two children saw Su Mengli and Ye Xuan through a live broadcast, sparking their curiosity about the resemblance between Su Mengli and their mother when she was young.

Surprised, Shen Biru contacted her former agency and investigated Su Mengli’s hometown, confirming that Su Mengli was indeed her biological daughter. This revelation delighted Shen Biru, who had thought she would have to rely on TV appearances to make a living in her later years. She never expected to have the opportunity to reclaim her daughter, who possessed such remarkable talent.

By acknowledging her daughter, Shen Biru, a former diva, believed her reputation would soar, and her husband’s lost assets might be restored. Thus, she was very enthusiastic about the idea. To move Su Mengli, she even brought her son and daughter along, hoping that the bond between siblings would soften Su Mengli’s heart. Standing at the villa’s entrance, she pressed the doorbell.
