Cheng Wanli abruptly changed the subject, "But why should Situ Xuan be the one to teach us a lesson about this? He didn’t even bother to attend the engagement party, yet he has the nerve to call and chastise us! If you ask me, it’s exactly his attitude that caused Tingting to have a falling out with him! Ultimately, it’s because Anning called off the wedding! If she had obediently married into the Situ family, none of this would have happened!"
"Right now, the most urgent thing is for you to quickly head to Huaxia Country! Immediately, without delay!" Cheng Juye said, "Although Situ Xuan mentioned that dissolving the engagement won’t affect our cooperation, given the current situation, it’s hard to say. Besides, we indeed have plans to expand into Huaxia Country, so you going ahead to explore is a good idea. And most importantly, you must ensure that Tingting is brought back to me safe and sound, understood?"
"Dad, I understand." Cheng Wanli promptly went back to book a ticket; perhaps Cheng Tingting hadn’t realized that because of her call, her father and brother would finally be heading to Huaxia Country!

Meanwhile, the other person swept into the event, Jian Anning, still remained completely unaware.
After Yu Zexiao and Nie Anni finished their duet, the two returned to their seats. After a few more performances, Director Li finally announced that the "Rock Youth" crew was officially disbanded.
The rest of the crew were busy taking photos to commemorate, and the long-marginalized leading actress Jiang Xuanqi, during the final group photo, finally found her presence as the lead, standing in the central position next to Yu Zexiao.
However, it was just for an instant, and as the camera clicked, it seemed to signal the conclusion of this Chapter for the crew.
As they were parting, Lu Jiayuan specifically found Jian Anning, who was in a corner packing her things.
Throughout the gala, she had been sitting with Ling Yinuo, and it took Lu Jiayuan quite some time to spot her in the corner.
He was leaving, and although he had decided to switch to Starlight Entertainment, he wouldn’t see her for a while.
Jian Anning was startled and looked up at him. Lu Jiayuan’s face no longer carried the fervent passion but was instead filled with a gentle stream of emotion, deeply hidden in his heart.
Jian Anning cautiously glanced around. Although the event had ended and reporters were starting to leave, there might still be a few lingering. Lu Jiayuan was considered a significant male celebrity; staying close to him might spark rumors that could be disastrous.
Seeing her worried about falling into trouble, Lu Jiayuan gave a bitter smile, "Anning, I’m here to say take care. With the crew disbanded, there won’t be many chances to run into each other. I hope you find joy and happiness."
"Thank you." Jian Anning quickly nodded. She glanced at Yu Zexiao, noticing he was surrounded by the crew and higher-ups, too preoccupied to notice here, and exhaled in relief. Looking back at Lu Jiayuan, her eyes showed more sincerity, "You too, I heard you’re going back to the United States to act, take care."
She hesitated for a moment and swiftly added, "And your mother as well."
Jian Anning had previously met Lu Jiayuan’s mother, and although Lu’s mother wasn’t physically well, she was a good person.
