“Change careers?” Huo Xiaoran said in surprise.

He knew that Qiao An regarded writing as her life, and she was also a top student in journalism. If she stopped writing, it would be the greatest regret of her life.

Qiao An told him, “I switched careers to acting.”

Huo Xiaoran immediately thought of Qiao An wearing flashy clothes and showing off her youthful beauty to please those crazy fans. He felt stifled.

“Tell me, what do I have to do for you to stay and continue writing?” Huo Xiaoran’s tone was a little pleading.

Qiao An said, “President Huo, I have extremely high standards for the environment of creation. If my creative environment is tainted by the jealousy of certain capitalists’ wives, I’d rather give up my enthusiasm and devote myself to another world.”

Huo Xiaoran’s fingertips turned pale as he held the phone.

He could tell that Qiao An was unhappy and angry at Lu Mo’s nonsensical interference.

Huo Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, I advise you not to be impulsive. Being an actor isn’t suitable for you.”

Qiao An said, “That’s my business.”

With that, Qiao An hung up. Huo Xiaoran was so angry that his liver hurt.

Speaking of Qiao An’s successful career change, she had Xiao Yue and Qiao He to thank.

Xiao Yue was the director. She had a script to film. When Qiao He told her that Qiao An was unemployed, the kind Xiao Yue took the initiative to offer Qiao An a job.

In her opinion, with Qiao An’s looks, she was born to shine in the acting industry. As for her acting skills, she could slowly hone them from a young age.

Although Qiao An wasn’t enthusiastic about being an actress, the treatment Xiao Yue gave her was extremely tempting. In addition, Xiao Yue kept feeding Qiao An soul soup. “Sister, believe me, with your looks, in time, you’ll definitely be famous. If you become a top celebrity, your income will surge. That’s a benefit you won’t be able to obtain in your entire life elsewhere.”

Xiao Yue’s persuasion moved Qiao An.

Qiao An was not a rich girl who was born with a silver spoon. She had elders and children, which kept her from pursuing the satisfaction of the spiritual world. She wanted to make a lot of money and be able to put her father and children at ease.

She didn’t want her loved ones to have to repeat the tragedy of her mother’s lack of money to see a doctor. So she stepped into show business without hesitation.

Xiao Yue’s new movie was a family drama. When Qiao An went to the audition, many young male actors fell in love with the beautiful Qiao An.

Moreover, Qiao An was a natural actress. When she was filming, her empathy was especially strong. Her crying scenes were never vague and she could endure hardships. The role she played was really brought to life by her.

Even the experienced veteran actor praised Qiao An. “Qiao An used to be a great writer. She wrote tear-jerking books, so she was able to quickly fit into the characters’ inner worlds.”

Xiao Yue was overjoyed, as if she had picked up a treasure. She said to Qiao An, “Sister, you’ll be the second female lead. In the early stages, her aura was strong and domineering, bullying the female lead to death. In the later stages, you have to restrain your aura. When the female lead counterattacks, you have to know how to show weakness.”

Qiao An said nervously, “Show weakness? I’ve never shown weakness to anyone in my life.Will I ruin it?”

Xiao Yue laughed at her. “You’re sober. Sister Qiao An, if you weren’t so strong, if you knew how to show weakness, I think a lot of men would have submitted to you.”

The blood drained from Qiao An’s face. “You flatter me, Yueyue,” she said sadly.

When Li Zecheng chose Wei Xin without hesitation in front of the kidnappers, Qiao An’s confidence collapsed.

When she mustered up the courage to reconcile with Huo Xiaoran after the divorce, Lu Mo despised her for being a second-hand product. At that moment, her confidence was filled with inferiority.

In this life, she didn’t expect men to love her or protect her.

She would just be her own queen.

Two days later, it was Xiao Yue’s birthday. Xiao Yue had invited Qiao An to her birthday party early in the morning.

“Sister Qiao An, it’s my birthday on Saturday. I hope you can attend my birthday party.”

Xiao Yue was Qiao He’s girlfriend, so Qiao An naturally had to show her some courtesy. She immediately agreed.

“Yueyue, I’ll definitely come.”

Xiao Yue said shyly, “Sister Qiao An, can you bring… your cousin here too? I misunderstood him some time ago. I want to officially apologize to him at the birthday banquet.”

Qiao An looked troubled… Xiao Yue quickly explained to her, “Don’t worry, I secretly held this birthday banquet, so I called some close friends to attend. I didn’t invite Huo Zhou and Cousin Xiaoran.”

Qiao An relaxed and made an okay gesture.

Two days later, Qiao An and Qiao He left the child with the nanny and both attended Xiao Yue’s birthday party.

She originally thought that if Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran did not come, Qiao He and Xiao Yue could show off their love to their heart’s content.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran actually found out where Xiao Yue’s birthday banquet was held. The two of them personally sent Xiao Yue a congratulatory gift.

Coincidentally, they happened to see Xiao Yue and Qiao He kissing intensely.

The two men immediately turned livid.

Huo Xiaoran was angry because he felt that Qiao He, the scumbag, had cheated on Qiao An.

Huo Zhou was angry because he expected better from his cousin, Xiao Yue. She clearly knew that her boyfriend was a married man, but she still threw herself at him.

The atmosphere in the room was frozen by the two ice sculptures that had suddenly turned up. The commotion instantly fell silent.

Xiao Yue and Qiao He felt that something was amiss and stopped kissing. The two of them looked down and saw Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou. Qiao He was instantly shocked.

Qiao He wasn’t afraid of death. He held Xiao Yue’s face and kissed her again. “Yueyue, I love you, forever.” Then he turned around and jumped off the platform.

Huo Zhou snapped his fingers at the bodyguards behind him. Coupled with his arrogant expression, the bodyguards immediately understood and chased after him.

Qiao An was caught in the crowd. When she came back to her senses, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran had already gone out.

Huo Zhou sent someone to stop him at the door.

Qiao An and Xiao Yue tried to go out to help Qiao He, but they were stopped by two strong bodyguards.

“Miss Xiao. Miss Qiao, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Xiao Yue was as anxious as an ant. “Sister Qiao An, what should we do? Huo Zhou has always been ruthless. He’ll cripple Qiao He.”

Qiao An clasped her hands together and prayed to the gods. “Please. Please keep Qiao He safe. I made all the mistakes. Don’t punish Qiao He.”

In the cramped hallway, Qiao He was flanked by bodyguards. He could only give up.

“Hey, hey, first cousin, second cousin…” He started to get friendly.

Huo Zhou said coldly, “Who’s your cousin? Beat him up.”
