Chapter 6: I Am the Queen

Jian Hongyou brought Jian Minghui back to their rented apartment. It was already dark.

Their mother was still sitting on the small sofa, lost in thought.

Jian Hongyou had bought three portions of dumplings on her way back. She placed them on the dining table.

She called out to her mother, “Mom, come and eat.”

The three of them sat at the small dining table. Jian’s mother was preoccupied and had no appetite. She ate two dumplings before putting down her chopsticks.

Jian Hongyou was starving. She finished her portion and then shared the rest with Jian Minghui.

After dinner, Jian Hongyou rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning the house with Jian Minghui.

Jian Minghui couldn’t bear to see his sister doing such rough work, so he snatched the cleaning cloth from her hand.

“Sis, you rest, I’ll do it.”

Jian Hongyou was relieved that her brother was so sensible at this time.

She took the cleaning cloth back.

“Let’s clean together, it’ll be faster.”

“But…”

“No buts, I’m not that delicate.”

“Who says that? You’re a precious princess in my eyes.”

“I’m a queen!”

Jian Hongyou didn’t want to be a princess, she wanted to be a queen.

“Queens don’t do rough work.”

“Queens are in adversity now, it’s okay to do some rough work.”

“Sis…”

“No more talking, hurry up and work.”

Jian Hongyou interrupted Jian Minghui harshly, and he could only give in.

The two siblings were doing rough work for the first time. Although they were a bit clumsy, they still managed to clean the house.

That night, Jian Hongyou and her mother slept in one bed, while Jian Minghui slept in another.

Jian Hongyou, exhausted, couldn’t sleep.

Because her mother kept sighing beside her, and then she started crying.

She could only hug her and comfort her.

“Mom, don’t be sad, go to sleep.”

“Youyou，your dad is gone, what are we going to do now?”

For Jian’s mother, Jian Yunian was her everything.

Now that Jian Yunian was gone, her world had collapsed.

Jian Hongyou was also very sad about Jian Yunian’s death.

But she couldn’t show it.

If she also cried all day, this family would be completely ruined.

“Mom, I’m here, I’ll be fine.”

…

The next morning, Jian Hongyou was still asleep when Jian Minghui rushed in with his phone.

“Sis, it’s not good! You have to see this!”

Jian Hongyou rubbed her eyes and took the phone.

The official website of Feifan Entertainment Media had issued an announcement.

Officially announced that the lead role in “Queen’s Pride” has been changed to Lin Yushan.

Below was an interview video of Lin Yushan joining the film crew.

“Ms. Lin, I heard that “Queen’s Pride” has already started filming, and the lead role is Jian Hongyou. Why is it suddenly changed now?”

Lin Yushan didn’t get angry at all. She answered politely, “Hongyou senior has encountered some things recently and is not in the mood to film anymore. She needs to rest for a while. I’m also taking over at the last minute. Please support me in the future.”

Below were a series of comments, all praising Lin Yushan.

“Yushan baby is so humble! She actually called the female demon senior.”

“Yushan baby is so gentle and has a good temper. She answers every question.”

“Yushan baby will definitely perform better than the female demon. Looking forward to it.”

Jian Minghui said angrily, “Sis, Feifan is too much! How can they do this to you? I’m going to find them to settle the score.”

Young people are impulsive.

Jian Hongyou pulled him back.

“Okay, I knew about this yesterday, it’s useless for you to find anyone.”

“I’m going to find Guan Huai.”

“He’s the one who did this, what’s the use of you finding him?”

Jian Minghui was very upset.

Jian Hongyou told him another even more upsetting piece of news.

“Guan Huai and Lin Yushan are getting engaged. They announced it yesterday. I’ve broken up with him now. Don’t call him Guan Huai anymore, he’s not worthy.”

Jian Minghui immediately took the phone from Jian Hongyou’s hand and searched.

He saw the news of Guan Huai and Lin Yushan’s engagement announcement.

He was so angry that he trembled, clenching his fist.

A lot of things happened in the Jian family these two days, and he didn’t watch the news yesterday.

He didn’t expect Guan Huai to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a person who would strike while the iron is hot.

He was clearly his sister’s boyfriend, yet he announced his engagement to someone else, stepping on his sister’s dignity.

Jian Hongyou got out of bed and walked towards the door.

“Okay, Xiaohui, stop looking, go buy some breakfast.”

Jian Minghui looked at her with heartache, took his phone and went out.

Jian’s mother was sitting on the sofa, staring at her phone and crying again.

Jian Hongyou walked over, saw the news on the screen, it was Guan Huai’s announcement of his upcoming engagement to Lin Yushan.

She took her mother’s phone away.

“Mom, stop looking.”

Jian Hongyou took out a tissue and handed it to her mother.

Her mother took it, wiped her eyes and said, “Youyou，go and beg Guan Huai, maybe there’s still room for reconciliation.”

“Mom, I won’t beg him. I’ve broken up with him, even if he wants to come back to me, I won’t take him back.”

“Now is not the time to be proud, our family is not what it used to be, there’s no one to rely on. Guan Huai still has some feelings for you, rely on him, you can also live a better life in the entertainment industry.”

“Mom, you don’t need to say anything, I’ve made up my mind.”

Jian Hongyou turned and went to the bathroom.

Jian’s mother sighed heavily.

This daughter has a stubborn temper, she’s determined to do what she’s decided, and no amount of persuasion can change her mind.

On the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Secretary Han Guang sat in the passenger seat, but he felt the temperature in the car cabin drop sharply.

He turned his head, Yu Nanzheng was staring at his phone with a gloomy expression.

“Mr. Yu, what’s wrong?”

Yu Nanzheng looked up.

“Find out where Jian Hongyou is.”

“Yes.”

Han Guang didn’t dare to delay, he made a phone call.

Soon, the phone rang back.

“Mr. Yu, I’ve found it. All of Jian’s family’s properties were confiscated. Miss Jian moved to Building 13, Unit 603 in Guangming District yesterday. She lives with her mother and brother. It’s a house she just rented yesterday.”

“Turn around, go to Guangming District.”

As soon as Han Guang finished speaking, Yu Nanzheng instructed.

“No, Mr. Yu, the board meeting will be held soon to announce your appointment.”

“Let them wait!”

Yu Nanzheng’s expression was terrifying. Han Guang dared not say anything more, he took out his phone and informed the company.

Driver Old Qin turned the car around and drove towards Guangming District.

Jian Hongyou ate the small steamed buns that Jian Minghui bought back, while browsing the news.

The internet is now full of news about her downfall.

#The Female Demon Jian Hongyou is Banned#

#The Female Demon’s Family is Bankrupt#

#The Female Demon Was Dumped, She Went Crazy in Haihua Hotel#

Below are a few blurry photos of her arguing with Guan Huai in Haihua Hotel.

It can be vaguely seen that it is her and Guan Huai.

The comments on the internet didn’t affect her mood.

After breakfast, Jian Hongyou dressed herself up beautifully and prepared to go find Yu Nanzheng.

Jian Minghui looked at her and felt something was missing.

He thought for a while before realizing what was wrong.

“Sis, where’s your bag?”

Jian’s mother, who knew the truth, looked over and hesitated to speak.

Jian Hongyou didn’t hide it from him, “I sold it.”

Jian Minghui suddenly felt the steamed buns in front of him were not delicious anymore.

Jian Hongyou put on a mask, a black baseball cap on her head, and slowly walked downstairs.

A tall figure ran upstairs, stopped when he saw her.
