Phoenix A has Gone Viral Across the Entire Internet! - Chapter 35 (THE END)

Shen Nian’s memories of the family’s matriarch were few but profound.

Beyond their strict family motto, the Shen family was defined by one primary trait: they were fiercely protective, and the elders were the most protective of all.

Back when Shen Nian had just entered the entertainment industry, she kept a low profile and few people knew who she was. Once, while going to pick up an endorsement deal, she was targeted by a manager who did not care whether a person was an Alpha or an Omega. He recklessly hoped to take some advantage of her.

It was the first time Shen Nian had encountered such a thing. She acted terrified and then accidentally broke the man’s nose.

Afterward, the man was humiliated and enraged, attempting to demand an explanation from Yuemo Entertainment. As it turned out, his luck was truly abysmal; before Pei Jiyi could even step in to resolve it, word of the incident reached Old Madam Shen’s ears.

In less than half a day, every person in charge of that endorsement, from the top down, was standing before Shen Yihua.

The matter could have been seen as big or small. A single morally bankrupt manager was insignificant and could simply be fired; however, if they offended the Shen family, their future in the industry would be over.

Thus, the group spoke volumes of sweet words, hoping the Old Madam would cool her anger and not lower herself to the level of such scum. It was a clumsy attempt to smooth things over, wanting to turn a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing.

Shen Yihua did not give a clear stance. She simply raised her hand, slowly brushing the lid of her teacup, and spoke with a faint, chilling smile. “Since the little one was bullied, the elder naturally has to step out to provide support. Otherwise, if outsiders saw this, would they not think our Shen family has no one left?”

Although the Old Madam was up in years, she had held a position of power for a long time, and her presence remained formidable. Her pace was unhurried, yet her words fell like a gavel, striking the hearts of everyone present. Everyone knew the Shens were protective, especially since Shen Nian was the youngest child in the family and had been doted upon since birth.

They had provoked the absolute wrong person.

Shen Nian could not quite remember how the matter was finally handled, but from then on, the industry’s atmosphere was purged, and no similar incidents ever occurred again.

This time, the Old Madam had returned to the country with several family members. Aside from handling some business contract renewals, her main purpose was to check in on Shen Nian’s major life events.

Previously, when Shen Nian was chasing her love interest with such fervor, Shen Yihua was not entirely sure if there was real hope between them. But later, as she followed the hit dating show, the more she watched, the more she felt the two were a perfect match.

Seeing that Shen Nian had reached marriageable age and having a sincere affection for Jiang Zhiwan, the Old Madam’s return was, in part, a subtle way to push for marriage. Therefore, she gave repeated instructions: when Shen Nian came to visit, she must bring her “dear little Omega” along.

Shen Nian’s ears burned at the mushy term used by the Old Madam, but after a secret glance at Jiang Zhiwan, who was nearby, eyes lowered over a book, she complied and brought her home.

Loving the house and its crow, the Shen family adored Jiang Zhiwan. Having looked forward to this meeting for so long, Shen Yihua was exceptionally generous now that she finally saw her in person. She began handing out pre-prepared gifts like a flowing stream, filling Shen Nian’s and Jiang Zhiwan’s arms.

If Shen Nian had not called for a stop in time, the two of them might have ended up buried under a mountain of presents.

Shen Dengfeng had also brought his daughter along this time. The little girl was six years old, adorable, and stood beside the adults like a little pink puffball. The girl was sweet-talked as well. She circled around Shen Nian and Jiang Zhiwan’s legs, looking up at the Omega.

“Little Auntie, Little Auntie! The girlfriend you brought home is so pretty! She is a beautiful sister! Xiao Yu likes beautiful sisters!”

Children speak without inhibition, and the people nearby could not help but laugh, remarking that the little one was quite the little adult. Only Shen Dengfeng stood to the side with his arms crossed, helplessly revealing his daughter’s true motive. “This little one is sharp. She is being this sweet because she wants you two to play with her.”

Shen Nian quite liked her well-behaved niece, so she tidied up a bit and crouched in front of her. “Well, if you are good and listen, how about I buy you some candy?”

Shen Nian thought she had pulled out her ultimate weapon for dealing with children, but unexpectedly, Shen Xiaoyu did not care for her candy. “I do not want candy. I want Little Auntie and the beautiful sister to take me for a drive.”

Having anticipated this, Shen Dengfeng pressed a hand to his forehead and explained, “This child has loved all kinds of cars since she was little, especially flashy racing cars. Every time she sees a new one, she cannot look away.”

Hearing this, Shen Nian raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “It looks like Xiao Yu might become an excellent racing driver in the future.”

Shen Xiaoyu looked surprised. “How did Little Auntie know that is my dream?”

She had actually guessed right. However, to maintain her sense of mystery in front of the child, Shen Nian did not answer. She simply gave a cheerful whistle. “It is a secret. Come on, Little Auntie and Sister Wanwan will take you for a spin.”

Just as Shen Nian took the little girl’s hand, the Old Madam called out, “Hey, Shen Nian, you stay here first. Let Zhiwan play with Xiao Yu for a while. I still have some things I want to say to you.”

Shen Nian exchanged a look with Jiang Zhiwan. After receiving a gentle nod of permission, she unhurriedly walked over to the Old Madam.

Today, there were not only family members in the Shen residence but also various partners coming to pay their respects. Just as Shen Yihua kept Shen Nian behind, another old business partner arrived, so she had to ask Shen Nian to wait a moment while she attended to them.

Shen Nian sat down on a nearby rattan chair. She had not been sitting for long when someone came over to strike up a conversation. The Alpha looked up and saw that it was her aunt.

Shen Linwen had been living abroad for a long time; this was her first time back in years. For a moment, she did not recognize Shen Nian, only thinking that this person’s face was quite striking. She wondered whose family this cool Alpha belonged to.

Shen Linwen was used to being bold. When she saw someone who caught her eye, she liked to flirt a bit. After all, she was currently single, and perhaps something might happen.

As the conversation veered into a strange direction, Shen Nian finally realized something was off. She looked up and asked seriously, “Auntie, would you like something to eat? I will have someone bring it to you.”

Hearing that title, Shen Linwen froze on the spot. “Auntie?”

Once she realized the situation, she immediately let out a dry laugh. “Aha, Auntie was just joking with you.” A moment later, she lowered her voice. “I beg you, please forget everything I just said.”

If she had known how embarrassing this would be, she never would have walked over. Fortunately, Shen Linwen did not have to sit on pins and needles for long before Shen Yihua approached them.

The Old Madam had specifically pulled Shen Nian aside to ask how things were progressing with Zhiwan and if there was a chance for a wedding this year. Hearing that this was indeed the question, Shen Nian could not help but cock an eyebrow. She rested her chin on her hand, intentionally playing hard to get. “Hmm, well, we…”

Shen Linwen, who was drinking tea while eavesdropping on the gossip, looked up in confusion when the sentence was cut short. Her eyes landed on an incredibly beautiful and elegant Omega. Thinking she had seen a fairy descend to earth, Shen Linwen instinctively covered her mouth and turned to ask her niece, “Hey, is this that Omega girlfriend of yours?”

She thought to herself that she was too beautiful. If you have won her over, why are you not married yet? What are you thinking? She really wanted to know which niece of hers was so slow.

To her shock, the answer she got was, “Shen Nian? You mean my spendthrift niece Shen Nian, who spent twenty million on a fireworks show just to win an Omega’s heart?”

Hearing this, Old Madam Shen quickly put a finger to her lips, signaling her to drop it. “Hush, keep your voice down. Is that something to be proud of?”

The spendthrift in question felt quite bitter. It was bad enough being gossiped about in the family chat; now she had to be condemned in person. What a hard life.

In reality, for Shen Nian and Jiang Zhiwan, marriage was just a formality. Their hearts had long been entwined, creating a bond far tighter than any external connection.

However, since the elders had brought it up, the two thought about it and actually calculated an auspicious date, preparing to go get their marriage certificate first. Auntie Wu’s cooking was truly delicious, and the family had no intention of replacing her. It would not do to let their relationship continue to look like a scenario of a benefactor and a mistress in her eyes.

The marriage registration process was fast. Within a few minutes, Shen Nian and Jiang Zhiwan walked out holding two little red booklets. Shen Nian was happy. That night, she took a photo of them and posted it on Weibo to share the joy with everyone.

At the time, she did not think much of it, but later Shen Nian realized that getting married early actually had many benefits. For instance, she could openly start calling Jiang Zhiwan “wife.” Also, whenever she encountered some scandalous rumors in the industry, responding became much simpler.

What others did not know was that whenever Jiang Zhiwan was being interviewed by entertainment reporters, Shen Nian was often present, listening openly to them making up stories about her. When Jiang Zhiwan was asked what she thought of Shen Nian’s recent romantic news, a certain scheming little bird would start whispering into her wife’s ear.

Jiang Zhiwan could not help but smile after listening, responding calmly, “A-Nian told me she already has the best Omega wife in the world, so why would she have anything to do with anyone else?”

Shen Nian, satisfied, plucked a feather and placed it in the other’s palm as a sign of love.

By the end of February the following year, the New Year’s remake of Youth Loves You, which the two had been invited to star in together, became a massive box office hit. It achieved a level of dominance unseen in the film industry for thirty years, and the numbers were still climbing, showing a fantastic trend.

With this film, Shen Nian and Jiang Zhiwan officially won the Best Actress awards of the year, becoming the most watched Movie Queen couple on the internet. On the night after receiving their awards, Shen Nian lay lazily on the sofa bed, joyfully scrolling through the celebrations from across the web. She felt her life as a phoenix was complete.

Who would have thought that the film awards she had not managed to get back on Planet TUQ would be fully realized here?

When Jiang Zhiwan came out after her shower, she saw an ink and wash little bird rolling happily all over the sofa bed. Once Shen Nian noticed her, she stopped rolling and flew over. “Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Jiang Zhiwan chuckled and, following the bird’s wishes, gently stroked its head. The little bird felt quite satisfied and flew back to the sofa bed, transforming back into a human form neatly dressed in pajamas.

Coincidentally, a message came from Pei Jiyi. Jiang Zhiwan read it and relayed the contents to Shen Nian. “Sister Jiyi seems very happy. She is praising us over and over, saying we should balance work and rest, and is giving us another long vacation.”

At the mention of a long vacation, Shen Nian’s eyes immediately lit up. “Vacations are great! This way, we have a chance to go on a honeymoon!”

Jiang Zhiwan sat down beside the Alpha, letting her cling to her, and asked with interest, “Honeymoon? Where to?”

Shen Nian smiled mysteriously, deciding to keep it a secret. She simply quoted a line from Ju Qu as her answer: “Since we are lovers, then between heaven and earth, there is nowhere we cannot go.”

Jiang Zhiwan turned to look at her, but because they were too close, their noses brushed against each other. The night was perfect, and the atmosphere grew thick. By the time they were kissing breathlessly, Shen Nian thought vaguely that wasting such a wonderful time would be even more regrettable than not winning a Movie Queen award.

As their positions shifted and Jiang Zhiwan was pressed down by the little phoenix, even though her eyes were shimmering with emotion, she still felt like teasing. “This time, do not turn back into your original form right as we start, okay?”

Shen Nian replied indignantly, “Absolutely not!”

As her consciousness began to sink, Jiang Zhiwan instinctively closed her eyes and tightly embraced the person she had loved for a long, long time.

Legend has it that the Phoenix clan is the most discerning; they eat nothing but bamboo seeds and perch nowhere but on the Wutong tree. But no one knew that from the first moment Jiang Zhiwan saw Shen Nian, an obsession had been planted in her heart. For the rest of her life, no matter the cost, she would give her all to become the exclusive Wutong tree where that little phoenix could rest alone.

Now, she had finally done it.
