Her older sister remarried, and the groom brought a tagalong child: a scrawny little thing like a bean sprout, smiling at everyone and always trying to ingratiate herself.
Jiang Chen did not like overly clever children, so she was never warm toward Chen Guo.
Until the wedding banquet.
Everyone was having a good time, but Chen Guo sat silently in a corner, secretly wiping away tears.
After Jiang Chen happened upon her, she could not help feeling sorry for the child. To make it easier for her to go to school, she agreed to let Chen Guo stay at her house for a while.
One day, while tidying up, she found a photograph beneath Chen Guo's pillow.
In the photograph, a woman with bright eyes smiled like a flower in bloom. The face of the woman with her arm around the first woman's shoulders had been slashed to pieces with a razor, leaving her features unrecognizable.
That night, Jiang Chen woke from a dream, drenched in sweat. Only then did she remember that the other person in the photograph was the director of her first film.
The two of them had been caught up in a rumor just recently.
(They are not blood relatives, and they are not registered in the same household.)

Next book: Who Exactly Is Back in Her Hometown?
After suffering from insomnia for two months, Xiao Jiahe quit her job in Beijing and returned to her hometown.
On a winter street in Yuncheng.
One was a passenger, just back from a big city, dressed in designer labels and enjoying a glamorous life.
The other was a driver, recently released, still wearing the same plaid shirt she had worn for years, down on her luck.
A lot had changed about Liang Shi since they last saw each other.
She used to smile unconcernedly no matter how harshly Xiao Jiahe spoke, always teasing her and making her happy.
Now, whenever they met each other's eyes, Liang Shi would look away, her smile tinged with nervousness.
If Xiao Jiahe did not speak first, Liang Shi seemed to have nothing to say at all.
Annoyed by this, Xiao Jiahe directly asked her if she wanted to be together, but, as expected, Liang Shi turned her down.
"You know I can't accept being with a woman."
Xiao Jiahe nodded and respected her wishes. After that, she never brought it up again.
They lived in the same city, each keeping to herself and neither interfering with the other.
Until New Year's Day, when Xiao Jiahe's colleagues from Beijing came to visit. Xiao Jiahe rented Liang Shi's car and invited her to be their tour guide.
At lunch, after seeing how hard it was for Xiao Jiahe to start a business alone back home, one of her colleagues urged her to return to her old company. Everyone missed her.
Her friend meant well, and Xiao Jiahe could not refuse too directly. She smiled and said she would think about it.
That night, a woman who claimed she could not accept being with women cornered Xiao Jiahe in the stairwell, kissed her, and refused to let her leave.
"Do you still mean what you said before?"
"I don't know what you're talki, "
"I like you."
If you can't forget someone, surrender.

Theme: Never give up in the face of setbacks.
It's so well written, please write more extras, please. It's so short that I can't watch it 😭 Especially at the back, the further back it gets, the better it gets. After the two people communicated, it was so sweet! This story is so well written, it is really one of the best among the works I have ever seen. Except for the switching between reality and memories which is a bit stiff, there are no other problems.
Chen Guo really went too far this time. The entertainment industry is inherently difficult, let alone a female artist.
Help, this is the first time I see such an unreliable and crazy Nianxia
The teacher is good at writing. . My heart really feels like I can't breathe. .
It's so scary. It's scary to think about it.
I rely on delicious food 😋😋 This article is so good, wait until I finish it, so I won't care if it's 8 o'clock in the morning. . .
Coming, coming!! Let's eat! Let's eat!! [Orange Candy] Got it
It's not enough, why should I follow the serialization [changed] [changed] [changed]
The person who hates writing extras the most in the world is here 😭 😭 I love my aunt so much
I stayed up late to finish watching it. Chen Guo was really crazy. I have read the teacher's two articles, and I doubt that this one was written by the same person.
