The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 474

The interview continued as the entertainment reporters would not miss any opportunity to ask gossipy questions—

Reporter: "Su Yang announced leaving the industry to continue his education while Qin Wei you also said you would focus on acting in the future. Was it a tacit understanding between you two?"

Qin Wei: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Reporter: "The movie The Showdown crossed 1 billion RMB at box office. There were rumors that you would cooperate with Shen Kai in Captain Yang’s next movie. Is that true?"

Qin Wei: "Yeah, it's true!"

Reporter: "It was said you and Qiao would announce your relationship officially on your birthday. Is there such thing?"

Qin Wei: "Oh yes, yes, yes!"

Reporter: "..."

Qin Wei: "..."

Reporter: "Are you kidding me?"

Qin Wei adjusted her crown: "What else?"

Anyway, she would not rely on traffic to make a living in the future...

...

The interview ended shortly as the security came to drive them away. The reporters left reluctantly when time was up. The campus turned quiet again.

Some graduates came over and Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao were very cooperative to take pictures with them.

"Let's go."

Qin Wei said.

Qiao nodded.

Just after a few steps, they saw a familiar face.

"I'll wait for you in the car."

Qiao left first.

"So why are you wearing a bachelor suit? Are you graduating today?"

Qin Wei looked at Mu Chen in the same clothes as her.

"Are you mocking me? I didn't even graduate from high school."

Mu Chen walked side by side with her on the small road along the campus lawn.

It's not surprising to see anyone walking together during the graduation season, because of the reluctant farewells.

"Did you finish the task? Is Sheng Lin alright?"

Qin Wei asked him.

Mu Chen nodded,

"Well, he was injured but recovered soon. He would return to the team after fully recovered. And I got a medal for you."

"Give me the bonus too."

Qin Wei shamelessly took it and intended to obtain more.

Mu Chen glared at her, "You have your own company now. Why does the big boss still stare at my little money?"

"I'll keep it for you for future marriage."

Mu Chen tilted his head looking at her:

"5,000 RMB. Would Qiao be willing to marry me?"

Qin Wei shrugged her shoulders:

"Give up your fantasy and face the reality."

"Sigh..."

Mu Chen painfully held his head,

"I was still thinking about becoming a family with Little Qiao, so I could get her photobooks and autographed photos without paying... "

Qin Wei: "? You wanna marry her just for this?? This can be achieved now. I can play this role. And I can even give you my photos and autographed photos!"

Mu Chen: "I don't need yours. Have you never thought you are ugly?"

Qin Wei stood still for thirty seconds:

"I was cursed by you since childhood that I always thought I was ugly until I came to Capital City for high school. Then I realized! I am the most beautiful!!! Moreover, don't we look alike?? Why do you think only I am ugly??"

Mu Chen shushed her:

"Don't ride on my sister's popularity. Don't take my sister away!"

"First figure out who exactly is your sister!!"

"Ah!! Qin Wei! It hurts my head!!!"

...

It's time to say goodbye. Qin Wei asked Mu Chen,

"Go back to the team? Haven't you retired?"

Mu Chen nodded: "Yes, I'll go back. I'm so capable there're still many things I can do. Captain Yang said he would send me to military academy."

"No money left, right?"

"Yep."

"My birthday is next week. Want to stay until then before leaving?"

Qin Wei asked him.

Mu Chen smiled at his sister:

"That's the only day I can sweep my parents' tomb openly. I'll go see them... Don't miss your birthday because of this! Our efforts are all for protecting the beautiful life for every one of you!"

"Alright."

Qin Wei nodded, "Goodbye."

...

On the car, Qiao didn't ask much. The two remained silent until——

[Western Suburban Cemetery]

Knowing they would come here, Qiao wore plain clothes today while Qin Wei also changed into casual wear and took off makeup on the way here.

Many people were buried here. Their deaths were confirmed but bodies could not be found, and their gravestones had no names.

Only numbers, as the only identification when they were alive.

The two stopped in front one of such anonymous gravestones. Qin Wei took out a towel to wipe off the dust on it while murmuring to herself:

"The seventh meeting! Didn't expect you would stay forty years old forever while my mom is already forty-five now.

She still refuses to see me, saying I don't love myself jumping into the big dye vat of the entertainment industry. Her prejudice is ingrained. She even said my money was dirty.

But I promise I didn't. I abide by the law and love myself. You can see it from heaven. If possible, appear in her dream and tell her how righteous I am...

Forget it. I'll prove it to her slowly by myself. I'll become an artist of morality and art to make her proud in the future.

You can't be counted on. You weren't a good father but a good comrade. And I'm still gratified with that..."

Qin Wei said as Qiao silently listened beside her. Suddenly she tugged at Qiao's sleeves lightly and said:

"This is Qiao Sixiao. You probably haven't seen her works before. She's an actress like me who just got rid of her mom's control recently to become independent. She was planning to rely on the money you left before but they were all turned in. Luckily her mom asked 300 million from me and then gave it back to her...

You didn't leave me any heritage at all but I don't blame you."

Qin Wei patted Qiao on her shoulder, "Come, call grandpa."

Qiao: "?"

Qiao: "Uncle."

"Fine."

Qin Wei didn't push and took out the medal from her pocket, placing it in front of the gravestone.

"This is from Qin Chuan for you. He said you never had a chance to wear uniform in your life. He did it on your behalf. What you didn't accomplish, he finished it for you. Little Chuan is considerate, right? I gotta go now. Here is a sunflower for you. See you next time."

...

When returned home in the evening, the lights in the porch were on as usual, the fish were swimming in the tank, still the two silly fish miraculously not killed.

Qiao left for two months and everything remained the same.

The changes were the castle was complete but the building blocks underneath remained there messily. According to Qin Wei she would build a piano for An An but,

"An An doesn't even have fingers."

Qiao pinched An An's claws.

"Put down my son and come with me."

Qin Wei rolled her eyes at her and crooked her finger beckoning Qiao to the elevator.

On the twenty-second floor, they climbed the stairs to the rooftop.

Pushing open the door, it suddenly became bright.

The original empty 100-plus-square-meter rooftop that Qiao bought with the penthouse just for tranquility had made a garden after being spotted by Little Qin. She spent 500,000 RMB renovating it.

In June, as the weather grew hotter, the flowers and plants flourished in the petite garden.

Qin Wei planted all kinds of flowers and said she would ensure flowers all year round for viewing pleasure.

"Wow!"

Even Qiao gave an exclamation of surprise.

"We can drink tea here in the future."

Qin Wei led her into the pavilion which had deck chairs, tea tables, and tea sets.

"You can chat about work here after my filming. And Assembly should start shooting soon. We can..."

"Shh. Teacher Qiao, don't bring work home, especially here. My flowers and plants are fragile. They can't bear work pressure or they won't blossom..."

"Are you..."

"Shh. Qiao Shiyings, shut up."

Qiao frowned her eyebrows:

"Who allowed you to check my ID?"

"No one did. I saw it on your trophy that day..."

"Who allowed you to check my trophy..."

"Shh. Sisi."

Qin Wei held her hand, pointing outside,

"Look, it's raining."

The night was humid. The ground was humid.

The air was tranquil. The woods were silent...
