Chapter 29 The 28th day of getting disliked


The birthday party at the Xia Family villa ended up being a ruckus.

Xia Duoduo didn't even know when the party ended. The moment she was exposed as a fake heiress on the Internet, her world had collapsed.

Xia Duoduo curled up in Zhao Meiqi's arms, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

Seeing Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou walk into the villa, Xia Duoduo furiously approached them and pushed them.

"It's you! You exposed all this, right? Now the whole world knows that I'm not the daughter of the Xia Family. Are you satisfied?" 

Xia Yuanzhou and Xia Yiwen were confused, "We didn't do that." 

"But last time at Sheng Family's Manor, Shi Wei clearly said that she wouldn't come back with you unless you clarified my identity!" 

Blinded by anger, Xia Duoduo lost her mind, "It must be you who wanted Shi Wei to come back, so you exposed all this." 

Hearing this, Zhao Meiqi became mad, "Yuanzhou, Yiwen, family disgrace should not be made public. Did you really expose this?" 

Xia Yiwen frowned and responded in a deep voice, "Mom, if we want to announce the truth, we would do it openly. Why would we have to expose it with an anonymous account? Besides, Yuanzhou and I went to Sheng Family's Manor to pick up Shi Wei early this morning. Shi Wei didn't have any intention of seeing us at all... She didn't plan to go home. Even if we expose this matter, she won't come back either."

"Then it’s Xia Shiwei’s doing!" Xia Duoduo yelled, "She doesn't want me to live well. It must be her who did it!"

Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou were irked when they heard this.

It wasn’t that they were irked about whether Shi Wei did it, but irked about... on what basis did Xia Duoduo yell at Shi Wei's name like this? Even if Shi Wei really did it, it was reasonable. She was the daughter of the Xia Family. There was nothing wrong with her wanting to expose everything.

Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong felt uncomfortable.

Wasn't Duoduo the most well-behaved before? She spoke softly and had the demeanor of a heiress. To yell and scream in such a situation... was she still the Duoduo they knew before?

"Whether Shi Wei did it or not, wouldn't it be better to ask her in person?" Xia Derong said, "She didn't come back even though we held a birthday party for her today. Shi Wei had loitered outside for long enough. It's time for her to go home!" 

Xia Derong would never believe that Shi Wei had severed ties with the Xia Family. In his mind, Shi Wei was his daughter and would always be his daughter. 

Even if she didn't want to return to the Xia Family, he would tie her up and bring her back! That night, the Xia Family set off for the Waldorf Hotel. 

Xia Duoduo didn't go with them because she was too embarrassed by what happened on the Internet and didn't want to look directly at Shi Wei.

At the entrance of the hotel, Xia Derong and others saw Shi Wei and others who were happily going home.

"Shi Wei!" Xia Derong uttered solemnly, "After messing around for so long, it's time to go home!"

Shi Wei didn't even look at Xia Derong. She took Ye Wenqing's arm and got into the Rolls-Royce in an upbeat mood.

Xia Derong approached to grab Shi Wei. Sheng Jingchen stepped forward and grabbed Xia Derong's hand.

"Sheng Jingchen!" Xia Derong narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm educating my own daughter. What do you mean by this?"

"Isn't Shi Wei the adopted daughter of the Xia Family?" Sheng Jingchen sneered, "President Xia, how did she become your daughter?"

"You——!

Annoyed, veins popped up on Xia Derong’s face.

Shi Wei stopped getting in the car and turned around. She didn't even look at Xia Derong, but stared at Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou, "I think I have told you clearly before, I have no relationship with the Xia Family." 

Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi froze, "What do you mean by no relationship?" 

Shi Wei turned to Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi and stated word by word, "What it literally means, no relationship. I have returned all the living expenses you gave me to Xia Yiwen. Treat it as I have never been to the Xia Family four years ago and you have never seen me. We are no longer a family." 

Xia Derong's eyes widened and roared, "Xia Shiwei! Do you know what you were saying again-" "She isn't messing." 

Xia Yiwen always obeyed his parents, but for once, he interrupted Xia Derong. 

He sighed, his tone full of helplessness, "Shi Wei went to the police station to change her name a month ago. She changed back to her original name." 

Xia Yiwen received this news when he left Sheng Family's Manor this morning. After pointing this out, Xia Yiwen finally realized that Shi Wei would never return to the Xia Family. 

She was never throwing a tantrum, nor did she want to run away from home to win the sympathy and attention of the Xia Family. She was simply breaking off relations with the Xia Family. 

Four years ago, Shi Wei was called Shi Wei. 

Because she returned to the Xia Family, she happily went to the police station to change her name from Shi Wei to Xia Shiwei. 

Originally, that day, the Xia Family was supposed to accompany Shi Wei. But Xia Duoduo said that day was the first day of school and wanted her parents to accompany her. Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong both chose Xia Duoduo, letting Shi Wei go to change her name alone. 

At that time, no one in the Xia Family thought there was anything wrong with this. After all, they still had a long time with Shi Wei and since Shi Wei had returned recently, they didn’t want Duoduo to feel ignored.

Shi Wei felt that since Xia Duoduo had lived with the Xia Family for so long, it was natural for the Xia Family to prefer her.

This favoritism continued from the time Shi Wei returned to the Xia Family to the present.

Four years later, Shi Wei walked into the police station again.

How happy she was before was how disappointed she was now.

This surname was added by her alone at the beginning. Perhaps because she came alone, there was no emotion. The surname was just a surname

In that case, it would be better to delete it.

"Changed...name?" Xia Derong's voice was hoarse.

If Shi Wei ran away from home before, she could come back at any time. In Xia Derong's mind, it was a small outburst from Shi Wei.

But changing the name... was her determination.

Zhao Meiqi realized that something was amiss and stared at Shi Wei in shock, "Deleted the surname? Weiwei, what are you talking about? You are Mom's daughter. I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy. How can the ties be cut!" 

But Shi Wei didn't answer Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi. 

She had already told Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou everything she should say. 

She knew that the two would explain. 

She stopped looking at Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi. Without an ounce of reluctance, she turned around and sat in the Rolls-Royce. 

Xia Derong and Zhao Meiqi wanted to chase after, but Ye Wenqing stopped them. 

"Instead of trying to win back Weiwei here, you should think about what your other good daughter did!"

"Duoduo?" Zhao Meiqi asked puzzledly, "What did she do?"

Ye Wenqing looked at Xia Yuanzhou, "Xia Yuanzhou, your parents don't know. It can’t be that you don't know either, right?"

Xia Yuanzhou lowered his head. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and finally said, "On the night of the engagement when Elder Sister Duo fainted, you and I all went to the hospital. As a result, Shi Wei... Shi Wei was almost violated by Ye Yu..."

"What?!" Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong couldn't believe that such a serious thing happened that night!

If they had known that Shi Wei had experienced such a thing that night, how could they leave Shi Wei alone and go to the hospital to visit Xia Duoduo! Xia Duoduo was important, but Shi Wei, Shi Wei was their biological daughter!

"Not only that," Ye Wenqing sneered, "I visited Xu Yangyang in prison two days ago. Xu Yangyang told me back then, the rumors in the rich circle that Ye Yu and Shi Wei were having an affair and the old man forcing Shi Wei and Ye Yu to marry was all your good daughter, Xia Duoduo's idea!"

Xu Yangyang didn't suspect Xia Duoduo at first. But the days in prison were long and boring and she gradually began to mull over the matter. They didn't plan to expose Ye Yu and Shi Wei at first, but it was because of Xia Duoduo's words that night that they had such an idea.

The more Xu Yangyang pondered about it, the more she found that every word and sentence Xia Duoduo said at that time was guiding them to discredit Shi Wei and force Shi Wei and Ye Yu to marry!

If it weren't for Xia Duoduo's bad idea, she and Ye Yu wouldn't have gone to jail!

What a good killing with a borrowed knife. It wasn't until Xu Yangyang and Ye Yu were in prison that they realized Xia Duoduo's aim!

She, Xu Yangyang, wasn't having a good time. So she would never let Xia Duoduo have an easy time!

So, when the Xu Family came to visit her, she immediately asked them to invite Ye Wenqing. She wanted to tell Ye Wenqing the truth about all this!

At this moment, Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Everyone had been in the business world for many years. At first, they might not have suspected Xia Duoduo, but if they think about it carefully, how could there be no problem with Xia Duoduo?

Take her fainting at the engagement party. The doctor later told Zhao Meiqi clearly that Xia Duoduo was fine. But her fainting did lead away the Xia Family and ruined Shi Wei's engagement party.

As long as their family was present, no matter how Xu Yangyang drugged Shi Wei, they wouldn't let Shi Wei get into trouble!

After that, the Ye Family forcing Shi Wei and Ye Yu to get married. Normally, it should be to kept quiet. Outsiders may think that the Xia Family didn't care about Shi Wei, but how could the Xia Family really not care about Shi Wei! If they knew it was Ye Yu who violated Shi Wei, they would never let Ye Yu off no matter what they said!

"Shi Wei left the Xia Family because of your own actions." Ye Wenqing said bluntly, "With biased parents like you, who would want to return to the Xia Family?"

After Ye Wenqing finished speaking, he glared at the Xia Family and got into the car.

Watching the departign back of Shi Wei's Rolls-Royce, Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong felt upset and anxious.

They didn't expect Shi Wei to have suffered so much injustice during this period. What’s more, they didn't know anything about it!

They had clearly looked forward to her coming back at the beginning, but in the end, it turned into a mess.

-

In the Rolls-Royce, Shi Wei was quite calm.

While Ye Wenqing was helping her confront the Xia Family, the system told her everything that happened online.

The bad things Xia Duoduo had eventually backfired on her.

Shi Wei's only curiosity was, "In the novel, Xia Duoduo and Ye Tingyue have a good relationship. Wouldn't Ye Tingyue protect Xia Duoduo?"

An extremely important plot in romance novels was the male lead heroically rescuing the female lead. Every time the female lead was in crisis, the male lead rushed to rescue her or used his power and influence to help settle the crisis. Although this kind of plot would weaken women's abilities to a certain extent, it could arouse the reader's girlish heart and love brain.

"In theory... Xia Duoduo's identity crisis was settled by Ye Tingyue..." The system hesitated, "But... our hero and female lead seem to have not met yet!"

Shi Wei: ? ? ?

"What do you mean? The novel is already halfway through? The male lead and female lead haven't met yet?!"

"It's like this. Originally, the Ye Family birthday party was to highlight the male lead and female lead's first meeting. Ye Tingyue saw Xia Duoduo at the birthday party and remembered that she was the white moonlight who saved him. Afterward, he always protected Xia Duoduo..."

"But, you know, Ye Tingyue is still in conflict with the Ye Family because of his decision to become an actor! In the novel, the incident between you and Ye Yu didn't happen at the birthday party. Old Mister Ye's focus was on Ye Tingyue and he got Ye Wenqing to invite Ye Tingyue back. So Ye Tingyue appeared at the banquet and fell in love with Xia Duoduo at first sight. "

"But now, Old Mister Ye was so focused on solving the problem between you and Ye Yu that he forgot to invite Ye Tingyue back... Due to having a quarrel with Old Mister Ye, Ye Tingyue sent a birthday gift and didn't attend the birthday banquet. He missed the reunion with the female lead... Now he doesn't even know that Xia Duoduo is his white moonlight. If Xia Duoduo gets into trouble, he won't help!"

"Uh..." Shi Wei was speechless. How did the plot of the novel deviate this much?

It seemed that Sheng Jingchen's chasing his wife to the crematorium was gone and the male lead was gone!

"In that case..." Shi Wei thought of what Ye Wenqing had revealed about Xia Duoduo's true face, "Can Xia Duoduo turn things around this time?"

GTFSFR 28




 Chapter 28 The 27th day of getting disliked


While Shi Wei was having a blast, Xia Duoduo was having a hard time.

When the fireworks first came out, the comments were all:

【Oh my god! Such beautiful fireworks, the Xia Family really dotes on Duoduo! 】

【Even though it's in the suburbs, this is the capital. The Xia Family actually put in a lot of money to celebrate Duoduo's birthday! 】

【Wow, this firework is so big. What’s more, it’s arranged in a specified pattern. It must have been designed! I envy Duoduo so much! 】

...

Xia Duoduo was surprised when she saw the fireworks.

She didn't expect the Xia Family to care about her so much! The anxiety that Xia Yiwen might announce Shi Wei's identity was swept away. More importantly, she learned from Xia Yiwen that Shi Wei had no intention of returning to the Xia Family!

This way, her identity and her position as the exclusive favorite of the Xia Family was preserved!

And the fireworks were undoubtedly celebrating her new birth!

Faced with the praise from the live broadcast, Xia Duoduo said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that my parents would prepare this. Truly making them break the bank~”

The next second, four huge words ‘Shi Wei, happy birthday!’ exploded in the sky.

Xia Duoduo's expression froze.

【Ah? Shi Wei, happy birthday Shi Wei? Shouldn't it be Xia Duoduo?】

【Today is Shi Wei's birthday? Shi Wei and Duoduo's birthdays are on the same day? Isn't Shi Wei the adopted daughter of the Xia Family? Why are you celebrating the adopted daughter's birthday in such a grand manner?】

【But I didn't see Shi Wei at Duoduo's birthday party!】

【The above got it wrong. My friend who works at the Waldorf Hotel told me that it’s Young Master Sheng who is celebrating Shi Wei's birthday. To celebrate her birthday, the Sheng Family booked the rooftop and specially set off this fireworks!】

【Damn! How much does it cost to book the top floor of Waldorf!】

【That's not all. I heard that Grandfather Sheng gave Shi Wei a large flat, while Sheng Jingchen gave Shi Wei a manor! 】

【Suddenly I feel... Xia Duoduo, the heiress of a top rich family isn't so attractive anymore. A heiress isn't as good as a wife! 】

【I am a little envious of Xia Shiwei...】

【Me too! 】

【Just a little bit envious! 】

...

Vinegar filled Xia Duoduo.

Not only did they celebrate Shi Wei's birthday, but they bought such a gorgeous firework and deliberately used the firework to spell out Shi Wei's name!

What did it mean!

Wasn't it a slap in her face!

But Xia Duoduo Duo was currently marketing her image of a fair and rich beauty with a peaceful life. She couldn’t break it and could only say sourly, "Young Master Sheng is so nice to the Elder Sister..."

【Don't be discouraged Duoduo, the Xia Family is nice to you! 】

【That's right! The birthday party prepared by the Xia Family for you is great! Didn't Aunt Xia and Uncle Xia give you a limited edition bag~ worth hundreds of thousands! 】

Xia Duoduo only forced a smile in front of the camera.

A bag worth hundreds of thousands was good, but how could it compare with Shi Wei's house worth tens of millions and a manor worth hundreds of millions!

Why was Shi Wei's life so lucky?

At this moment, a line of words suddenly popped up in the live broadcast room: 【Xia Duoduo, I have prepared a more surprising gift for you! 】

Because the other party sent a carnival along with this line of words, this line of words was particularly conspicuous. Almost everyone in the live broadcast room noticed it.

【What what! Why be so mysterious when giving gifts? 】

【This bigshot gave a carnival right away. He must be Duoduo's admirer, right? 】

【Looking at his homepage, he shows houses and cars. He should be a rich second-generation or something like that? 】

【I'm looking forward to the gift from the bigshot! 】

A hint of sweetness flashed through Xia Duoduo's heart. He specially squatted in her birthday live broadcast room and declared that he wanted to give her a gift. Could it be someone who had a crush on her?

Xia Duoduo knew from a young age that she was lucky.

Even when she encountered setbacks occasionally, things would always go in a good direction for her in the end. For example, when she was surrounded by the little scoundrels outside the school, there would definitely be a handsome boy to save her before the incident; for example, when knowing that she wasn't the real daughter of the Xia Family, but the Xia Family became more fond of her.

Except for the matters after the engagement, any setbacks she encountered in her life would eventually turn into luck.

Now that she was far away from Shi Wei, her former good luck should come back!

So, Xia Duoduo asked curiously, "What is the gift?"

"It's a gift that can make you go on the hot search!"

Xia Duoduo was even more delighted when she heard this.

Just at this moment, someone in the live broadcast room shouted, 【Look, look! The gift sent by the bigshot is on the hot search! 】

【What kind of gift is it? It's so mysterious! 】

【It's really whetting my appetite! I want to go to Weibo to take a look! 】

...

Fans in Xia Duoduo's live broadcast room opened Weibo to see the gifts.

Xia Duoduo was curious and opened Weibo with a smile.

When she saw the hot search, the smile on Xia Duoduo's face froze completely.

#Shock! Wealthy household’s real-fake heiress. Xia Duoduo isn't the biological daughter of the Xia Family! #

On Weibo, a marketing account posted the DNA test certificates of Xia Duoduo, Shi Wei, Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong. It proved that Xia Duoduo had no blood relationship with the Xia Family and that Shi Wei was the real daughter of the Xia Family!

As soon as the news came out, both the entertainment circle and the wealthy circle exploded.

【? ? ? 】

【Am I blind? Xia Duoduo isn't the real daughter of the Xia Family? 】

【She is an adopted daughter! Damn, it’s still a real-fake scene! I thought this kind of thing only happened in novels! 】

【Wait a minute, Xia Duoduo isn't the real daughter of the Xia Family and Xia Shiwei is the real daughter of the Xia Family. Then what had Xia Duoduo been showing off all this time? Doesn’t she know that everything she had belongs to Shi Wei? 】

【She knows... Didn’t the Xia Family recognize Shi Wei four years ago? So at least four years ago, they all knew that Shi Wei is the real daughter! 】

【The Xia Family is mental, claiming their own daughter is an adopted daughter and the adopted daughter is a biological daughter? How heartbroken must Shi Wei be! 】

【Xia Duoduo is mental too! Still marketing herself as a rich heiress after occupying the magpie's nest? Where does she get the face? Everything she has now should obviously belong to Shi Wei! 】

There were waves of berates against Xia Duoduo on the Internet. How much bonus she once reaped because of being a heiress was how much it backfired on her.

When looking at her, they wanted to see a real heiress, not a fake one who had occupied the magpie's nest!

For a while, Xia Duoduo's fans dropped a lot. At the same time, the black material of marketing wealthy CPs, acting like a bigshot on the set, and getting the screenwriter to change the scene were exposed. Even the fact that her assistant Lucy wrote a thesis for Xia Duoduo was exposed on the Internet by her classmates!

【Xia Duoduo's classmate here. Name will be redacted for privacy. To be honest, Xia Duoduo used to be quite well-behaved and would come to class every day. But since she marketed as a wealthy family’s heiress a year ago and became popular, she had started to focus on the entertainment industry and ignore her studies. I haven't seen her in my senior year and only saw her assistant named Lucy, who was looking up information in the library. Later, I passed by Lucy's seat and saw her writing the thesis and the name and title of the project is Xia Duoduo's when she started the project! 】

【In order to avoid people saying that I fabricated evidence, the following is a video I took of Lucy writing the thesis! 】

After sending the text message, the whistleblower quickly attached video evidence.

In the video, Lucy was sitting in the library of the Capital Film Academy, looking up information to write a paper, and the name of that paper was Xia Duoduo's graduation thesis!

【Damn! Forget about marketing the wealthy CP and acting like a bigshot on the set. The real and fake heiress are the Xia Family’s private affairs. I can tolerate these, but I can't tolerate academic fraud! 】

【Undergraduate thesis isn't valuable to begin with. It had to be completed by an assistant? I have suspicion on how Xia Duoduo got admitted to the Capital Film Academy! 】

【Academic fraud is related to the future of a country. Please get the relevant departments to investigate Xia Duoduo! 】

【Damn, I stayed up late every day to write the thesis and my head became bald. She found an assistant to finish the thesis. Why! 】

【Yes, everyone knows how tiring it is to write a thesis. Every day is spent in the laboratory and library. Maybe a single data error will cause the whole experiment to be repeated! I have been in the laboratory for several months to pass the review! While Xia Duoduo actually got someone to write it for her and easily got everything done! 】

【Xia Duoduo used to market her top academic persona. Her college entrance examination score is only a little higher than that of art examination candidates, not even reaching the first-tier line. Now she is committing academic fraud. Such people should get out of the entertainment industry! 】

【Xia Duoduo get out of the entertainment industry! 】

【Xia Duoduo get out of the entertainment industry! 】

The dandies in the rich circle were surprised to know the truth.

They were not surprised that Xia Duoduo got someone to write the thesis for her. They were simply mad that Xia Duoduo deceived them about the real and fake daughter.

【F***! Xia Duoduo turned out to be a fake heiress. How dare she show off in front of me for so long? 】

The speaker was Yu Manman. She was a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, but because her family wasn't as well off as the Xia Family, she could only flatter Xia Duoduo with others. Now she knew that Xia Duoduo was an adopted daughter, and she was furious.

In the circle of wealthy families, the status of adopted daughters was less than those illegitimate children. After all, illegitimate children could seize power and it wasn't uncommon for them to succeed. However, adopted daughters were adopted daughters. Which wealthy family with a brain would let the family business be inherited by an adopted daughter?

【In the past, she did her utmost to discredit Shi Wei in front of us. It was because she was afraid that one day we would know the truth, right? 】

【I feel more and more disgusted now! What thing is Xia Duoduo! No wonder she is so desperate to rely on Young Master Sheng. It’s because she knows that she is a fake heiress and wants to rely on Young Master Sheng to turn things around! 】

【Young Master Sheng isn't stupid. He knows that Shi Wei is the real thing. The group of people in the Xia Family are blind! 】

【Haha, if Xia Duoduo didn't desperately want to enter the Sheng Family to turn the table, would she believe Assistant Zhou's nonsense? Can’t she figure out her position? 】

【So the real and fake matter is true? Which warrior discovered the truth and posted it online? I really want to see Xia Duoduo's expression now. Is she already green from anger hahahaha! 】

【Anyway, this warrior really did a good deed! Otherwise, I would have to watch Xia Duoduo occupy Shi Wei's things and don't know how long she would be proud! 】

In the Zhou Family villa, Zhou Min took in the ridicule on the Internet and the rich circle, and smiled.

Yes, the DNA test report on the Internet was posted by her.

Zhou Min was the illegitimate daughter of the Zhou Family. Her status in the family was never as good as that of the eldest daughter of the Zhou Family. Therefore, Zhou Min could only hold on to Xia Duoduo's thighs and use Xia Duoduo's relationship to help the Zhou Family get projects. This way, her status in the Zhou Family could be higher.

When she knew that Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou were both fretting about getting Shi Wei return to the Xia Family, Zhou Min felt sour. She was a little interested in Xia Yuanzhou, but Xia Yuanzhou cared so much about an adopted daughter. Could it be that he fell in love with the adopted daughter?

But she observed Xia Yiwen carefully again and felt that his feeling toward Shi Wei didn't seem to be love between men and women, but more like the care of siblings.

It was at that time that Zhou Min suddenly had a bold idea in her heart.

Which wealthy family would adopt an adopted daughter after adulthood!

It was obvious that she was an illegitimate daughter, but was embarrassed to say it!

Although the Xia Family favored Xia Duoduo, they were still good to Shi Wei in terms of money and gave her 2% of the shares.

This made Zhou Min even more jealous.

Whether she was an adopted daughter or an illegitimate daughter, shouldn't she behave like someone with their tail between their legs?

Why run away from home to win the sympathy of the Xia Family?

Zhou Min will not let them get their wish!

So, Zhou Min secretly got the hair of Xia Duoduo, Shi Wei, Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong. She wanted to expose Xia Shiwei's identity as an illegitimate daughter and make her unable to raise her head forever!

But she never expected…

The test results showed that Shi Wei was actually the biological daughter of the Xia Family and Xia Duoduo was the cliche adopted daughter who had no blood relationship!

Zhou Min was stunned.

Xia Duoduo was the adopted daughter. So why did she try to please her all these years?

Seeing Xia Duoduo still bossing her around and acting superior, Zhou Min’s anger boiled higher and exposed everything on the day of the birthday party!

3RYB 5.2




And at this moment.

The sound of footsteps falling on the stairs sounded. Everyone looked up.

A touch of the same bright red appeared in everyone's sight.

Gu Qi didn't notice that everyone was watching her. She just looked down at the flat shoes on her feet and felt very satisfied. Unlike the high heels just now, where she almost sprained her ankle when she walked out of the door.

The contract only said that she had to wear this dress to show her face on a platform with high traffic, but it didn't say what shoes she had to wear.

Anyway, she didn't want the whatever cooperation as this brand ambassador, so she just made do with it.

Everything went as Ning Xiwei planned.

She curled her lips, covered her mouth with her hand, and her cat-like eyes were wide open.

She looked at Gu Qi, and then her eyes fell on Jiāng Zhiyu. She seemed to be too surprised and didn't know what to say for a while. She could only let out: "Aiya!"

Jiāng Zhiyu stared at the dress on Gu Qi. Furious, she stood up from the sofa and lost control of her expression. She grasped the side of her skirt tightly. Strength went into every finger to show her dissatisfaction.

 [? ? ?  ]

[Do the directors understand? Turn the camera around and let us see what happened!]

[What did she see? Why did Eldest Miss Jiāng's expression collapse like this?]

Gu Qi was attracted by Ning Xiwei's voice. When she looked over, she naturally couldn't overlook Jiāng Zhiyu standing next to her.

At the moment of staring at each other, Gu Qi found it ridiculous.

What a coincidence.

Originally, when they met at the door, the dresses they wore were just similar in style. Unexpectedly, they became exactly the same after changing.

And this time, no matter how angry Jiāng Zhiyu was, she couldn't pour another cup of milk tea on her in public.

Gu Qi walked downstairs calmly as if she didn't see anything and entered the camera view.

[? ? ? They wore the same clothes on the first day of recording]

[It's not scary to wear the same clothes, but whoever is ugly will be embarrassed]

[Is this really the same dress? If you don't put them together, you can't even associate them.]

[+1 above. I thought red was too tacky, but when Gu Qi put it on, she looks like a bright beauty.]

[It seems that it's not the problem with the dress. The dress is still beautiful.]

[Not necessarily. With Gu Qi's figure and face, she looks good even if she wears a sack.]

[After all, she is Gu Qi. No one mocked her face even at her worst scolding.]

[But Gu Qi originally wasn't wearing this dress. She went upstairs to change clothes because she got it dirty.]

[It's just a coincidence. If Gu Qi hadn't gotten her dress dirty, she wouldn't have changed and such a dramatic scene wouldn't have happened.]

[This is fate.]

At this time, Ning Xiwei's voice sounded sweetly: "Elder Sis Zhiyu, Elder Sis Gu Qi, you are wearing the same clothes. Did you guys agree in advance?"

When Ning Xiwei asked this question, her face was full of innocence, as if it was written: I envy your friendship.

[Feck, hahaha baby, you really dare to ask anything. So cute]

[Is Ning Xiwei serious? Doesn't she see that Eldest Miss Jiāng is steaming that she almost turned into an emoticon? How can it be pre-arranged? ]

[Our Xiaoxi had just debuted for a short time, she doesn't understand these twists and turns, everyone please be lenient! ]

Jiāng Zhiyu took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said: "We have known each other for a long time. I remember that when we were little, Xiaoqi always liked to wear my dress and was scolded by her mother. It seems that Xiaoqi is still the same as when she was little. You haven't changed at all."

Netizens: "?!"

[What's the situation? When they were little. These two people really knew each other? ]

[@Ning Xiwei, Younger Sister, is your mouth blessed?]

[But what does Jiāng Zhiyu mean by this? Did Gu Qi steal her dress when she was little?  ]

 [I am not surprised by anything Gu Qi does ]

Gu Qi was calm and lightly responded: "Didn't you say that we are good friends, so I must wear it? It turns out that you aren’t sincere. No wonder you always pour drinks on me."

Jiāng Zhiyu was stunned. She didn't expect that the usually dull Gu Qi would dare to fight back against her outside the villa. Now in front of so many people, she even directly pulled out what she had done.

"She was ignorant when little. Her temper isn't toward you." It was Jiāng Fengzhi who spoke first. He looked at Jiāng Zhiyu again: "You two were really close when we were little. I remember that when you saw a dress you liked when you were shopping, you always said you wanted to buy one for Gu Qi."

"Yes." Jiāng Zhiyu immediately understood that this was the step down handed to her by the elder brother as well as a reminder. She could only answer reluctantly: "It may be that it was too long ago, I remembered it wrong."

 [What a subtly weird relationship ]

 [I bet a bag of spicy strips, these two people have indeed known each other for a long time, but their relationship is definitely not very good!  ]

Jiang Lechuan suddenly exclaimed "Hey".

The blond boy sat on the sofa. He seemed to pay no attention to the ‘clothing clash’. He just looked at the director impatiently and asked, "How long are we going to sit here and chat? When will the official recording start?"

[Good guy, as expected of Jiang Lechuan]

[Award the ‘Worst at Atmosphere Reading Award to Jiang Lechuan (handing over the trophy)]

Some anti-fans popped out to make sarcastic remarks.

[@Director team, can you take the responsibility of making the top stars wait for so long? Be careful that they will get angry and stop recording]

[Don't mention it. I remember Jiang Lechuan ran away halfway when he was shooting a magazine before. He can actually do this hahaha]

Wen Renjing held his cheek with one hand. He was so bored that he almost fell asleep. Finally, after Jiang Lechuan spoke, he raised his narrow eyes, and looked over.

With Jiang Lechuan’s interruption, the attention was naturally shifted to him.

Just don't know if Jiang Lechuan did this to help Jiāng Zhiyu out, or if he was afraid that if this continued, Jiāng Zhiyu would be too embarrassed and hate Gu Qi.

"Everyone isn't here yet." Wen Renjing answered Jiang Lechuan's question, then turned to Gu Qi, and asked, "Why hasn't your younger cousin brother come yet?"

Netizens: "!?"

Wen Renjing's seemingly ordinary words were like thunder from the blue sky.

[What did Wen Renjing just say? ]

[Mu Yuan is Gu Qi's younger cousin brother? Ah? Doesn't that mean...! ? ? ]

[Wait a minute, then Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan are brothers? Is today really April Fool's Day? ]

[@AnnualAbsurdNews, there’s work]

#Jiang Lechuan Wen Renjing #

#Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing are actually one family? #

Related topics quickly topped the hot search list, instantly sparking countless discussions on Weibo. The real-time top picks were filled with question marks, or more question marks.

The relationship between the four people seemed to be finally ‘clear’. Still, everyone was shocked by the result.

Passersby were watching the fun and didn’t mind making it big. While the fans of Wen Renjing and Jiang Lechuan were petrified.

Wait, they have been fighting for so many years, while their idol were actually one family? ? ?

The Wen Renjing/Jiang Lechuan they hate the most was actually the elder brother/younger brother of their idol?

Nothing was more terrible than the enemy becoming one family, okay! ?

Wasn't this a horror story! ?

They need to calm down! ! !

At the same time, another question that was even more incomprehensible-

If these two people were brothers, then their relationship with Gu Qi became more odd! The relationship between these three people was too confusing!

And the recording site.

Ning Xiwei blinked slightly, a little surprised by this situation.

In fact, she had always guessed that Gu Qi and Jiang Lechuan were siblings. The reason was very simple. They look a bit alike.

Especially the face shape and nose. These two people were at least 70% similar when covering their mouths and faces.

Ning Xiwei had always been confident in her analytical ability. Unforeseen, she guessed wrong this time.

If Jiang Lechuan and Wen Renjing were brothers, then it seemed that the scandal between her and Jiang Lechuan was a bit interesting.

No fans liked the real sister-in-law.

Ning Xiwei's mood finally improved after being criticized by Jiang Lechuan. It seemed that Heaven was still helping her.

The director team stood up to answer for Gu Qi at this moment: "Because Teacher Mu Yuan is participating in the competition in City A on behalf of our capital, he will rush over after the competition. Today, our seven teachers will record first."

Some people who specifically came to see Mu Yuan lamented.

[Mu Yuan isn't coming today? What a pity]

[I heard from a friend in No. 1 High School that he is notoriously withdrawn. He often inexplicably leaves during class time, and sometimes skips classes for no reason]

[I heard that he has autism? I don't know if it's true or not]

[My friend's friend is in the same class as Mu Yuan. In the second year of high school, Mu Yuan once said to her, ‘Make way.’ Hahaha! ]

In just a few days, Mu Yuan had gained great popularity on the Internet with just a few photos.  

Genius youth, handsome, withdrawn, and solitary. These keywords gave him a mysterious aura like a buff and he was praised as ‘the male lead who walked out of the campus novel.’

Some netizens even joked about making a ‘performance table’ for Mu Yuan, but found that there were so many awards that they couldn't be written down. It was enough for him to get guaranteed admission to University A several times.

Netizens: "!?"

Wasn't this much better than the nine leaky fish in the domestic entertainment industry?

So, Mu Yuan quickly had his own fan support group and even an anti-black station.

[If Mu Yuan doesn't come today, what will happen to Gu Qi? ]

[Yes, she is the only one without teammates?  ]

The director team naturally took this into consideration and announced: "Teacher Gu, your identity today is 'free man'. You can choose to join any group. Once you choose, you cannot change it. Whether the group you join succeeds or fails, you will share the happiness and difficulties with them. Please consider it."

Gu Qi nodded to show that she understood and didn't make a decision immediately.

The first task for them was to climb the mountain together. Like now and immediately.

The way to decide the winner was very simple. Each group’s individual best time to reach the top of the mountain was the final result.

The mountain wasn't too high. As long as one didn't rest for too long, one could basically reach the top in three-four hours.

The task wasn't too difficult, but the temperature was high today and the sun was scorching. No one wanted to climb the mountain in this weather.

Jiāng Zhiyu took Jiāng Fengzhi's arm and said coquettishly: "Elder Brother, I can't climb. It’ll depend on you. We have to win."

Jiāng Fengzhi replied: "I know, you find a place to rest."

[Ahhh, I'm so envious! The elder brother and younger sister combination is so doting!  ]

[As expected, Jiāng Zhiyu is the little princess who is spoiled by her family]

[This works? You just take a rest and leave the rest to your elder brother?  ]

[The rules are to take the shortest time in each group. If one person can do it, the other person doesn't need to go]

The conversation between Jiāng Zhiyu and Jiāng Fengzhi gave Ning Xiwei some inspiration. Yes, there was no need to go together. Just send one person from each group.

She looked down at the high heels on her feet in distress before forcing a smile toward her elder sister: "Although it's a bit difficult, I will try my best! Elder Sister, you should take a good rest and leave everything to me!"

After that, she waved her fist in the air with full energy, as if to cheer herself up.

Zhizi was a very quiet person. She had been sitting next to Ning Xiwei without saying a word. After being cued, she was silent for a while before uttering, "Let me do it."

Zhizi was wearing a pair of flat shoes at the moment and her clothes were relatively casual and comfortable. Anyone could see that she was more suitable for this task than Ning Xiwei.

Ning Xiwei showed embarrassment on her face and politely declined again. Finally, she reluctantly ‘gave’ the opportunity to climb the mountain to her elder sister, saying, "Then I will cheer for Elder Sister!"

[Ahhh, my daughter is really well-behaved and sensible! ]

[Cuteness attack!  ]

Wen Renjing sat aside and watched them act. Then he turned to Jiang Lechuan and simply said: "It's so hot. I don't want to climb the mountain."

Jiang Lechuan had no expression on his face: "If you don't want to, then I do?"

Wen Renjing stretched out his finger and pointed at Jiang Lechuan, one by one: "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe for who will climb the mountain, okay? This is Heaven's arrangement, you go climb."

Jiang Lechuan laughed out loud: "You take me for a fool, right?"

If it was really fair to point it out like this, he would comply. But Wen Renjing's hand was clearly pointing at him all the time and he never pointed at himself once, okay?

Wen Renjing showed a stunned expression, with a face full of curiosity: "How did you find out?"

 [? ? ?  ]

[Why is your group's style different from others]

[There's camera! You two should at least act out some siblings respect! ]

[Wen Renjing, be careful! I feel like Jiang Lechuan wants to beat you up! ]

[Or you two should just have a fight! ]

[No... I'm still shocked that they're brothers]

[Indeed, I still can't believe they're related by blood]

[It doesn't matter. They don't seem to treat each other as family. We just need to forget about it]

[Hahaha, the sisters above are so immoral]

And at this moment.

Wen Renjing suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Qi, curved his eyes, and asked, "You decide who will climb the mountain between us."

Although Jiang Lechuan's face was still full of ‘unhappiness’, he didn't say anything to refute, and looked at Gu Qi, obviously agreeing to give her the right to decide.

Gu Qi: "......?"

What did their quarrel have to do with her?

GTFSFR 27




 Chapter 27 The 26th day of getting disliked 

There was only a bed and a quilt in the room. 

Beside this, there was nothing else. There was no room for one person to lie on the sofa and there wasn't even an extra quilt in the cupboard. 

Shi Wei felt that the Sheng Family did it on purpose.

But Sheng Jingchen said nothing. Shi Wei said nothing either.

The two of them laid quietly on the bed.

Like two salted fish.

Sheng Jingchen: "..."

It wasn't the first time she was so close to Sheng Jingchen. Before, she either was drugged or drank alcohol. To lie together so soberly...

Why was there the idea of ​​committing a crime!

Previously, she could pretend that she was drunk or drugged. But if she were to do something to Sheng Jingchen again, how would she explain it? !

It made her look like an old rogue...

Shi Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm the desire in her heart.

Sheng Jingchen felt... maybe Shi Wei didn't want to take the initiative and he should take the initiative.

It was normal for the man to take the initiative... 

After all, the two were engaged and they will definitely continue to live together in the future.

The matter of Xia Duoduo had been resolved tonight. Shi Wei will no longer complain to her system about chasing wife to the crematorium and the two of them could properly live in the future.

What’s more...

When Shi Wei laid beside him, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Sheng Jingchen took a deep breath and reached out to hold Shi Wei's waist.

The next second, he heard Shi Wei's inner voice:

"Steamed lamb cake, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast goose, roast chicken, braised pork, sauce chicken, braised duck, bacon, pine flower tripe..." 【Note 1】

Sheng Jingchen: ? ? ?

"Hehe, recite the recipe more and the mind is clear~dried meat, sausage, assorted Su plate, smoked chicken tripe, steamed eight-treasure pig..." 【Note 2】

Sheng Jingchen "..."

The thoughts in his mind disappeared after hearing the recipe.

Xia Shiwei, you were amazing!

-

Early the next morning, Sheng Jingchen went to the company.

Shi Wei got up at the same time, had breakfast with Grandfather Sheng and the others, and returned to Sheng's manor.

The next few days were calm.

Xia Duoduo's reputation collapsed because of the marketing of the wealthy CP. She became obedient and stopped messing. Shi Wei focused on W2.

During this period, W2 hadn’t yet produced any works, but it became famous on the Internet.

One of the reasons was that the IP-adapted TV series produced by Shengshi Group was broadcast on the Internet and TV stations. The TV series led to the explosion of novels. The IP craze began and film and television companies began to pay attention to the value of IP.

The second reason was that a science fiction novel produced by their country won the International Hugo Award. It was the highest honor in the novel industry. This science fiction novel was popular all over the world and everyone was looking forward to the adaptation into a movie.

When fans recommended this novel to major companies, they found that the copyright was actually in the hands of a film and television company called W2. Moreover, the copyright of most famous authors' novels was actually in the hands of W2!

Who was W2? How could they predict the future and buy so many popular IPs?

Soon, everyone found out that the predecessor of W2 was Tianyao Film and Television and that the CEO of W2 was Ye Wenqing, the eldest daughter of Ye Group.

But Ye Wenqing admitted to the reporters and media that she wasn't the largest shareholder of W2, nor the owner of those IPs. These IPs were only developed and sold by W2. The real owner was another person.

As for who it was, no one knew.

Shi Wei hid her merits and fame and quietly became the boss behind W2.

-

On the other side

Xia Family Villa

Xia Duoduo obediently stayed at home during this period and didn't go anywhere.

After two days of ridicule on the Internet, it gradually stopped and the hot searches were replaced by new topics.

Actually, there was no solid evidence about the marketing mistress matter that Shi Wei mentioned. Nor was it a major violation of discipline or law. As long as she refuses to admit it and produces a good work in the future, she will be able to turn things around soon.

Anyway, her identity as the heiress of the Xia Family was still true so far. She relied on her fair and rich beauty persona to gain traffic in the early stage and it hadn’t collapsed.

After a few days of silence, Xia Duoduo started marketing again under Zhao Yi's arrangement.

But this time, the marketing was the daily life of a fair, rich, and beautiful heiress. She live-broadcasted shopping with her mother Zhao Meiqi, doing spa together, and taking flower arrangement courses together.

The peaceful life of a fair, rich and beautiful was still attractive. Although Xia Duoduo's traffic wasn't as good as before, she still had a group of fans.

It will be her 22nd birthday soon!

This was the highlight of her showing off her fair and rich beauty’s life!

Xia Duoduo was looking forward to this. She contacted some brands and expressed her willingness to help them advertise for free at the birthday party. As long as this wave of marketing was successful, she will have a chance to turn it over!

At the Xia Family’s dinner table, Xia Duoduo mentioned to her parents about wanting to live broadcast at the birthday party. Zhao Meiqi and Xia Derong agreed without hesitation.

"By the way, remember to bring Shi Wei back for the birthday party." Zhao Meiqi reminded Xia Yiwen, "After all, she is our Xia Family's child. What does it look like to always stay outside?!" Xia Yiwen paused, thinking of what Shi Wei said to him at the Sheng Family's old house that day. 

He couldn't bring Shi Wei back under such circumstances, so would Shi Wei come back now? Xia Yiwen pondered for a moment and responded, "Dad, Mom, to get Shi Wei to come back, I  want to announce her true identity at the birthday party." 

Xia Duoduo was shocked. 

Zhao Meiqi frowned, "It had been announced that she is an adopted daughter before. Now say that she is the real daughter? It's unreasonable, right?" 

"But if not, Shi Wei will not come back!" Xia Yuanzhou anxiously piped in. Acknowledging Shi Wei's identity was the only way he and Xia Yiwen could think of to get Shi Wei back. 

Xia Derong thought for a moment, "Is Shi Wei unwilling to go home because of this?"

"Kin, Kind of!" Xia Yiwen didn't dare to tell the truth.

"If she is really unhappy, then let's announce her true identity! Say she is our Duoduo's twin sister or something. It works," Xia Derong said.

The relationship between the wealthy families was messy. It was common to occasionally recognize an illegitimate daughter. Xia Derong did love Xia Duoduo, but he also cared about Shi Wei, his biological daughter.

In his opinion, blood ties were particularly important. No matter how much he loved Xia Duoduo, he couldn't abandon Shi Wei for Xia Duoduo. Zhao Meiqi was the same. Although she felt Shi Wei was inferior to Xia Duoduo in every way, she was still her own flesh and blood after all. Can’t really leave her outside and ignore her!

Shi Wei hadn't been home for nearly a month and they were panicking about it in the end.

Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. With this as a bargaining chip, at least the probability of bringing Shi Wei back was a little higher.

Only Xia Duoduo ate without saying a word. Her face was extremely dark.

Now they acknowledge Shi Wei's identity as the real daughter, but what about in the future? If Shi Wei kicks up a fuss again, wouldn't she be exposed as a fake heiress?

She couldn't let this happen!

-

That night, Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou went to Sheng's manor to find Shi Wei.

Usually, when Shi Wei stayed at home, they couldn't even get in the door. But today they were lucky. Shi Wei happened to go to the Waldorf Hotel to discuss the script with the screenwriters. When she came back, she ran into Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou waiting at the entrance.

A young CEO of a wealthy family with a net worth of over 100 million and a rising star in e-sports stood at the door of Sheng's manor. They stretched their neck to look around, holding a few mobile phones in their hands, trying to get through to Shi Wei.

If one thought about it carefully, the Xia Family was truly great.

As one of the three top wealthy families in the capital, the Ye Family had many illegitimate children because of Old Mister Ye's romantic anecdotes and the family was always in turmoil. Although the Sheng Family was peaceful now, Sheng Jingchen's Younger Uncle had been a troublemaker in the past.

Only the Xia Family was united in terms of family aspect.

Parents were loving and brothers were promising. The only daughter was spoiled into the top heiress of a wealthy family.

But this kind of good luck was specially given to Xia Duoduo in the novel and had nothing to do with Shi Wei.

When the Rolls-Royce drove to the gate of the manor, Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou both noticed Shi Wei.

"Weiwei!" Xia Yiwen tried to make his tone more kind, "Dad and Mom asked me to pick you up."

Shi Wei laughed, "Xia Yiwen, I don't want to say the same thing again."

"I know you are angry because we favor Duoduo!" Xia Yiwen quickly interjected, "I have convinced Dad and Mom. We will clarify your identity at the birthday party! You can return to the Xia Family as the heiress of the Xia Family."

Shi Wei didn't say anything.

A few traces of sympathy flashed in her eyes. No one knew whether she was sympathizing with Xia Yiwen or herself.

Did she really care about being the heiress of the Xia Family?

If she really cared, she wouldn't have agreed to her parents introducing her as an ‘adopted daughter’.

She didn't care about this at all. Shi Wei smiled, with a bit of teasing malice in her eyes, "Xia Yiwen, if you really want me to go, don't just clarify my identity and clarify Xia Duoduo's identity as well if you have the ability. Then I might consider it. Otherwise, forget it."

Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou paused.

Clarifying Xia Duoduo's identity was something they have never thought about. How much harm will this do to Xia Duoduo!

However, thinking about it carefully, they felt that clarifying the fake daughter matter will hurt Xia Duoduo more. Then, at the beginning, when they used ‘adopted daughter’ to introduce Shi Wei, the hurt for Shi Wei was less?

Not everything in this world could be achieved at the same time.

Shi Wei and Xia Duoduo. Real and fake.  Both were like two levels.

If one wanted to save one party, the other party would inevitably be hurt.

Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou were silent for a long time without answering.

Shi Wei saw the ferocious numbers that kept popping up on the system panel:

[Dislike value from Xia Duoduo +3400...]

[Dislike value from Xia Duoduo +4500...]

Yes, Shi Wei didn't care what the Xia Family said.

No matter what they said, she wouldn't go back. But seeing the change in the dislike value, she noticed that Xia Duoduo was nearby.

How could it be reasonable to not anger her and earn some dislike value?

Seeing that Xia Duoduo's dislike value was finally approaching the 5000 mark, Shi Wei was satisfied and even disdained to listen to Xia Yiwen and Xia Yuanzhou's defense. She beckoned to Chauffeur Zhang and returned to Sheng's manor.

Watching Shi Wei's back, Xia Yuanzhou muttered to Xia Yiwen, "Elder Brother, do we really need to clarify Elder Sister Duo's identity?"

Xia Yiwen pondered about it and gritted his teeth, "If it’s the only way to get Shi Wei back... then we can only do this!"

Not far away, Xia Duoduo heard the conversation between the three people. Her face was distorted and her eyes were dark.

-

Soon, it was the day of Xia Duoduo's birthday party.

The Xia Family attached great importance to Xia Duoduo's birthday party. After all, Xia Duoduo still needed to rely on this birthday party live broadcast to turn things around. Zhao Meiqi gave Xia Duoduo face and started to decorate the Xia Family's house early to give Xia Duoduo a perfect birthday party.

Early in the morning, the live broadcast began and fans poured into the live broadcast room.

【Birthday party of a heiress! Who is jealous? It's me! 】

【Oh my god, the luxury bags on this wall of Duoduo's room is enough to open a luxury store! The Xia Family really dotes on Duoduo! 】

【She is a top-class heiress after all. I heard that Xia Duoduo is known as the top heiress of Capital in the circle】

【That’s right. Also a heiress, the legitimate eldest miss of boy biased Ye Family has to fight for power with the illegitimate son. While the eldest miss of the Sheng Family is still young and takes her mother's surname. Most of the Sheng Family was built by Young Master Sheng and his grandfather. Only our Duoduo is a real daughter who had all the doting of the Xia Family! 】

【Young Master Sheng is blind to not set his eyes on Xia Duoduo! 】

The Xia Family was busy preparing for the birthday party.

While the Sheng Family manor was deserted.

Sheng Jingchen had been on a business trip these two days, so it was naturally impossible for him to hold a birthday party for Shi Wei. Shi Wei didn't think of asking Sheng Jingchen for help, let alone going back to the Xia Family.

It was just a birthday. Eat a longevity noodle with a poached egg by herself and it was done.

She took her longevity noodles upstairs and took out the new plan from the planning department. ‘Scientific Cultivation of Immortality’ was proceeding in an orderly manner and the filming team had been found. Some time ago, the director took the producer around to scout locations. In order to achieve the best effect, the director planned to shoot in real scenes as much as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, it will start next month.

If they wanted real scenes, the investment would be a little bigger.

But fortunately, Shi Wei had dislike points in her account. Ye Yu and Xia Duoduo sent her dislike points every day, so she didn't have to worry about money.

Scanning the plan and after eating two mouthfuls of longevity noodles, she received a call from Sheng Jingchen.

"Forgot the once a month date?" Sheng Jingchen asked.

Shi Wei was stunned.

It wasn’t that she forgot, but... were the few recent ‘dates’ with Sheng Jingchen little? Sheng Jingchen often ate breakfast with her recently!

"Have you returned to the country?"

Shi Wei didn’t answer the question.

Sheng Jingchen seemed to chuckle on the other end of the phone, "So, do you want to date or not?"

Sheng Jingchen also replied to Shi Wei the same way.

Shi Wei glanced at the longevity noodles in front of her and remembered the feasts Sheng Jingchen always took her to.

En, if there was something delicious, it would be a waste not to go!

Shi Wei certainly wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Sheng Jingchen wanted to prepare a birthday surprise for her. Sheng Jingchen didn't seem like the kind of person who would prepare such a thing. Nor did the two of them reach that stage.

But whether it was or not, it was always good to have someone accompany her on her birthday.

Shi Wei soon set off. Chauffeur Zhang had received the message from Assistant Lin and drove toward the Waldorf Hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, the manager at the door was waiting for Shi Wei. When he saw Shi Wei coming, he greeted her with a smile and took Shi Wei to the rooftop in the sightseeing elevator.

Shi Wei was surprised. She had come to the Waldorf Hotel many times when she supervised the screenwriters to revise the script. She didn't expect that there was a restaurant on the rooftop of the hotel.

The manager grinned, "Miss Shi, you will know when you arrive."

The sightseeing elevator finally stopped on the rooftop.

The two shiny elevator doors slowly opened and there was a brand new world outside.

The entire rooftop was decorated with flowers and dotted with pink and white balloons. The ordinary rooftop was decorated like a cocktail party.

Grandfather Sheng, Aunt Sheng, Uncle, Sheng Linglan, Little Nuomi... and Ye Wenqing, Zhuge BBQ, Chen Wei and others...

And also Sheng Jingchen. They were all present.

Sheng Jingchen had a slight smile when he saw Shi Wei. Pushing the seven layer cake, he approached Shi Wei.

"Shi Wei, happy birthday."

Shi Wei was stunned. For some reason, her eyes gradually turned red.

In the past, when she was with the Shi Family, only Grandmother Shi celebrated her birthday. Later, when she came to the Xia Family, she did celebrate her birthday with Xia Duoduo every year and many people came to celebrate. But everyone was congratulating Xia Duoduo, not her. 

Only today when seeing so many people around her did Shi Wei really feel that it was her birthday. All the arrangements on the rooftop were according to her preferences. Each layer of the seven-layer cake had a different taste. It was her favorite flavors. 

Not only that, everyone who attended brought a gift. 

For someone as generous as Grandfather Sheng, he gave a large flat near the river. Aunt Sheng and Uncle Sheng gave Shi Wei a set of jade jewelry. Sheng Linglan gave Shi Wei a diamond necklace. 

Little Nuomi had no money, so he could only give her his favorite snacks. 

He timidly grabbed Shi Wei's hand and stuffed a large bag of snacks into Shi Wei's arms, "Elder Cousin Sister-in-law! Happy birthday~" 

Everyone gave Shi Wei a blessing. Finally, it was Sheng Jingchen's turn.

When everyone was teasing what gift Sheng Jingchen would give as a fiancé, there was a sudden whoosh. A huge firework bloomed in the dark night!

Then, countless fireworks were set off together, lighting up the entire night!

This was the capital!

The capital of country!

Sheng Jingchen actually had a way to set off fireworks in such a place!

The fireworks over the capital attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, Shi Wei looked at the man in front of her. The gorgeous fireworks reflected his angular profile. His superior bone structure appeared more prominent and three-dimensional.

For some reason, the place in her heart that had been cold for several years moved slightly.

After a full ten minutes, the fireworks disappeared, leaving a dazzling tail in the sky.

The gorgeous fireworks were short-lived, but the last few words from the fireworks remained in everyone's heart.

"Shi Wei, happy birthday."


EN1MP 13




 Chapter 13


The originally teeth-baring little thing that had stretched out his claw to scratch people obediently retracted it. The black cat used his little meat pads to step on Ye Wenya's arms and massage her in a coquettish manner as he made sweet coquettish meows in its mouth and waves of cute purring in its throat.

Seeing Ye Wenya looking at him, the black cat stiffened slightly. Then it pretended nothing happened and rubbed Ye Wenya's arm affectionately with its head. It looked so clingy and cute.

If it weren't for this black cat, which was still aggressive and wanted to bite people two minutes ago, Ye Wenya would even suspect that she was imagining things.

Seeing that Ye Wenya really liked this black cat and had no intention of changing cats at all, Bai Xia sighed with regret.

On the contrary, Song Jiale grinned while lighting a fire: "Since you don't plan to be with Fang Shaoyuan in the future and you like cats so much...why don't I introduce you to some cat beastmen later?"

"A few brothers of mine aren’t bad...My eldest brother and second brother are both cat beastmen with double A-level mental strength and physical fitness. They are awakened leopards, no worse than Fang Shaoyuan! Why don't you give it a try later?" Song Jiale blinked and said with some anticipation.

Since she had just seen Ye Wenya's ability in pharmacy, she had always wanted to build a good relationship with her. Unfortunately, their relationship was only slightly better than that of ordinary people. She wanted to say something more, but felt that it was not appropriate. Now that she saw the opportunity, she naturally started to promote her brothers.

In the Beastman Empire, pharmacists have a high status. Even if they were just ordinary low-level pharmacists, small nobles would be willing to marry them.

What's more, Ye Wenya was a pharmacist with outstanding talent and a promising future.

Song Jiale touched her chin and sighed. If Ye Wenya had shown her talent of producing A-level potions in these years, how could Fang Shaoyuan choose Su Wanqiu and let her brothers pick up the opportunity?

At this time, Ye Wenya's previous arrogance in school was also understood by Song Jiale as the pride and casualness of geniuses who didn't like constraints.

When looking at Ye Wenya, Song Jiale felt that she was perfect in every aspect. It would be even better if she could become her sister-in-law in the days to come!

The black cat stayed quietly in Ye Wenya's arms. Its blue eyes subconsciously glanced at Ye Wenya. However, the black cat was too small and could only see the girl's smooth chin and fair and slender neck. The light blue blood vessels spread under the skin, drawing a beautiful arc.

Xiao Chen felt it was a pity.

His nephew really picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon, not wanting such a powerful fiancée and turned around to choose other women. Afraid it won't take long for that kid to regret it.

"No, I won't consider these things for the time being." Ye Wenya pinched the black cat's little paw and shook her head to refuse.

"Classmate Song, I think you should stop wasting your time. Your brothers are definitely not worthy of Classmate Ye! ... In the Empire, the number of beastmen with both A-level mental and physical qualities far exceeds that of A-level pharmacists by dozens of times."

Bai Xia stretched his head, leaned forward, and said with a smile: "What's more, Classmate Ye is only a sophomore this year. How can an ordinary beastman be worthy of such a young high-level pharmacist? In my opinion, even the top ten golden bachelors selected on the Empire Star Network this year can barely meet the requirements!"

"Speaking of which, among these ten people, three are cat-like beastmen... They are the first-ranked Crown Prince Lei Ze, a flaming golden lion beastman, the fourth Marshal Xiao Zhan, who was tied for first place with the Crown Prince, a double-winged white tiger beastman, and the eighth-ranked Prince An." Song Jiale recalled the ranking list she had seen on the Star Network before, "I won't talk about Prince An, he is just a playboy... But the Crown Prince and Marshal Xiao are both powerful beastmen with both spiritual and physical qualities at SS levels!"

"These two people, one is gentle and polite, and the other is cold and strong. They are completely two different types of beastmans. "Bai Xia's eyes lit up. He excitedly babbled on: "But compared to the perfect gentleman prince who is always gentle and polite with a smile on his face, I actually prefer Marshal Xiao's iron-blooded tough guy style! He is calm and self-sustaining in battle. His clean-cut and serious appearance is exactly the perfect idol in my mind!" 

"When I graduate in two years, I must apply for the first and second legions led by Marshal Xiao as soon as possible!" 

In the empire, the military had established four marshals and eight legions. Each marshal led two legions. Xiao Chen led the first and second legions. Song Jiale and Bai Xia talked to themselves with relish. The group didn't notice that the black cat in Ye Wenya's arms moved to the side with an uncomfortable look on its face and even stopped the action of rubbing. The black cat's eyes moved downwards as the tip of its ears was slightly hot. 

Fortunately, the black cat had thick fur and was covered by the fur, so no one could see its embarrassed reaction at this time. 

After Song Jiale and Bai Xia chatted for a while and saw that Ye Wenya really had no thoughts in this regard, they set up a fire and began to sort today's lunch. As for Pan Mu and Gao Feng, who were still sleeping, they were dragged by Jiang Hao to the shade of the tree to avoid the tragedy of being exposed to the sun and becoming dried beast meat.

Planet K-0218 was a primitive planet with rich resources. Bai Xia didn't spend much time catching two fat wild rabbits from the forest, as well as gathering a small pile of unknown spices; spicy red nuts, sour and sweet purple berries, and a bunch of other ingredients with various aromas.

The spices found in the forest were grinded, the salt from the backpack was added, and they were applied on the rabbits and mutated beast meat.

Bai Xia sat in front of the fire and roasted it back and forth. The rich aroma of roasted meat instantly filled the air, making people salivate. Song Jiale swallowed her saliva, staring at the roasted meat on the fire with a green light in her eyes!

Sizzle, sizzle--

The wild rabbit meat smoked with firewood sizzled with hot oil and the spicy meat aroma blew in the breeze. Jiang Hao turned his head away with some difficulty. At this time, as a wolf beastman, he wished that his sense of smell wasn’t so sensitive.

However, at this moment, Ye Wenya moved her nose and frowned slightly. A faint fishy smell mixed with sour smell suddenly spread from the mutated beast meat. This smell was a bit like rotten meat that had been put at the side for a long time. A bit like the sour smell of fermentation after composting, making her frown slightly.

However, the few people on the side seemed to have not smelled this smell at all and remained calm. Especially Bai Xia, who was quick to brush a thick layer of seasoning on the pieces of mutated beast meat and sprinkled red spicy nut crumbs, layer by layer. It seemed that he intended to use heavy spices to cover up the stench brought by the mutated beast meat.

The black cat squatting on the side stared at the pieces of mutated beast meat with a special smell with its dark blue eyes.

The mutated beast meat had sufficient energy, which could bring a certain degree of repair ability to the injured beastmans. Even though his mental strength had been severely damaged and his body had regressed to the infancy, Xiao Chen didn't intend to give up any hope.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of following the people in front of him to return to the Imperial Capital Star from the beginning.

But asking these people for grilled meat was a problem...

GTFSFR 26.2




Most people in the Sheng Family already knew about Xia Duoduo's little tricks with online marketing. Only Xia Yiwen couldn't believe it. In his mind, Xia Duoduo was pure and perfect. Even though his recent focus was on Shi Wei, Xia Duoduo still held a certain spot in his mind.

Don't know what happened. Since he started to care about Shi Wei, he noticed that Xia Duoduo became more and more unfamiliar. Last time, Xia Yuanzhou told him that Xia Duoduo lied to Mother about demolishing Shi Wei's room. It made him feel that this wasn't the Duoduo he knew at all.

"Elder Brother, it was Shi Wei who slandered me! It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!" Xia Duoduo quickly explained, "I took my phone to be repaired a few days ago. Someone must have sent out screenshots of my chat at that time! It must be like that!" 

Xia Yiwen didn't respond.

He knew that it was impossible for a simple chat screenshot to ferment into a hot search. Someone must have secretly fueled the flames.

However, the person in front of him was his younger sister who he had taken care of for more than 20 years. She now knew the truth that she was catfished online. It was already miserable and he couldn't bear to scold her.

Xia Yiwen sighed, "This matter is Duoduo's fault in the end. Weiwei, I will lecture her once we’re home and give you an explanation."

After saying that, Xia Yiwen looked at Shi Wei reluctantly again, took Xia Duoduo and left the Sheng Family's old house.

With the departure of Xia Yiwen and Xia Duoduo, the drama in the Sheng Family's old house was mostly over.

At this moment, Sheng Linglan watched the disappearing two figures and felt quite irked.

Although the hot search on the Internet that previously exposed the chat screenshots was removed, fans could still be seen scolding Shi Wei as a mistress in the topics related to her.

Why was the victim still being abused, but the persecutors were perfectly invisible?

Although Sheng Linglan was simple, she would definitely not believe in the rumors of mobile phone messages being exposed.

Plus, she just learned the truth about the drugging... Sheng Linglan suddenly felt that she was used by Xia Duoduo!

She had always treated Xia Duoduo sincerely and was willing to bring her to such an important family dinner. Sheng Linglan really couldn't accept that Xia Duoduo could use her like this!

She gritted her teeth and sent a voice message to Assistant Lin, 【Do you have a recording of everything that happened in the room in the old house just now? 】

As the Assistant of Sheng Jingchen, Assistant Lin always carried a large-capacity recorder with him and recorded at all times.

Assistant Lin: 【Yes. Miss Sheng, do you need me to send a copy of the recording to you? 】

Sheng Linglan: 【No. However, Xia Shiwei is the granddaughter-in-law of our Sheng Family and the wife of the president of Shengshi. We can't let her be called a mistress on the Internet, right? Snip out the truth about online dating, post it on the Internet, and buy a hot search. 】

Sheng Linglan: 【Oh, don't tell my elder brother about this. 】

The other side was silent for a long time before Assistant Lin replied.

Assistant Lin: 【Miss Sheng, President Sheng had already told me to do this】

-

On the Internet, Zhao Yi was still guiding Xia Duoduo's fans.

Xia Duoduo was able to quickly rise from a newcomer with no works to a second-tier actress mainly because of the marketing of being the rich and beautiful heiress and the wealthy CP. So even though she was slapped in the face by Lin Yanyan for being unprofessional, she didn't lose many fans. It was just that she had fewer passers-by fans.

Consolidating those diehard fans who followed because of the ‘wealthy background’, Xia Duoduo would still have a place in the entertainment industry. 

When Shi Wei revealed that she was Sheng Jingchen's fiancée, it had a great impact on the wealthy CP. Fortunately, Xia Duoduo got the marketing account to post a screenshot of the chat. It successfully led everyone to believe that Shi Wei was the mistress and snatched Sheng Jingchen away.

In addition, Shengshi removed the hot search. So Shi Wei's reputation among Xia Duoduo's fans was extremely bad.

【When will Xia Shiwei dissolve the engagement? 】

【Xia Shiwei is a third party! Hurry up and return Young Master Sheng to our Duoduo! 】

【The ungrateful wolf who occupied the magpie's nest! So shameless! 】

...

Such remarks were endless.

In order to show their determination to protect Xia Duoduo and boycott Shi Wei, Xia Duoduo's fans pushed the tag #Xia Shiwei is a mistress# to the top of the hot search.

They wanted the Shengshi Group and all passers-by to see who the shameless woman was!

While their Duoduo was an innocent victim. But as #Xia Shiwei is a mistress# was trending on the top of the search list, a marketing account posted a Weibo.

The Weibo post was a recording, but Xia Duoduo's voice could be clearly heard in it.

【Elder Brother Jingchen, isn't that the WeChat you gave me? How can it not be you 】

【I normally use the call app and there are less than ten people on WeChat】

【When the chat screenshots appeared on the Internet, I followed Young Master Sheng's instructions to check the matter and found that the person who is in love with Miss Xia Duoduo is Assistant Zhou. 】

【Why did you do this?! Why did you mess with me like this!】

【Assistant Zhou did deceive you. But you posted the chat screenshots online and mobilized the Internet to smear me as a mistress, didn't you?】

...

The few sentences Assistant Lin snipped out had already pointed out the key points.

Of course, Sheng Jingchen only ordered him to expose the matter related to the chat screenshots. That was why he didn't release other recordings.

But this recording alone had already caused a stir on the Internet.

【What what what! It turns out that there’s nothing between Xia Duoduo and Young Master Sheng. Xia Duoduo had an online relationship with Young Master Sheng's assistant? ! 】

【Hahahaha, Xia Duoduo is obviously pitiful, but I don't know why I really want to die of laughter. How can there be such a stupid person! 】

【Who told her to market Xia Shiwei as a mistress on the Internet? If she was deceived, I would still sympathize with her. But anyone with a little brain knows that the screenshots on the Internet and the remarks about #Xia Shiwei is a mistress# were guided by Xia Duoduo, right? This is disgusting! 】

【Yes, and even if Xia Duoduo was deceived by Assistant Zhou, Xia Shiwei and Young Master Sheng were engaged! Engaged! And the result? She is still being ambiguous with ‘Sheng Jingchen’. Isn't that knowing and still be the thirdy? 】

【It's enough that she knowingly be the third, she even slandered the original wife on the Internet! 】

【So don't say that Xia Duoduo was miserable. The real miserable person here is Xia Shiwei, right? She is an ordinary person. Would she go online to market herself for no reason? It's really an unprovoked disaster that Xia Duoduo implicated! 】

Xia Duoduo had long expected that the matter of mistaking her match would be exposed, but she didn't expect it to be so soon!

Who recorded it?

Could it be Shi Wei?

It must be her! Besides her, who else hated herself so much? !

This time the collapse was extremely serious. In less than two hours, Xia Duoduo's Weibo fans were cut by half. Several hot searches on Weibo were about her being deceived by love and marketing black material!

Even a few business co-operations that had already been negotiated with Xia Duoduo called to terminate the contract with Xia Duoduo!

The variety show she was on before even called her to seek the penalty for breach of contract and stated that although the live broadcast had been broadcast, there would be no shadow of Xia Duoduo in the main release. They would delete Xia Duoduo's shots frame by frame!

All the brands that had worked with Xia Duoduo sighed helplessly.

Only Director Chen and Lin Yanyan were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

Fortunately, Xia Duoduo was replaced at the time, otherwise they would lose a lot if they replaced her halfway through the filming!

On the other side

Sheng's old house

The farce in the evening ended and it was finally time to rest.

Theoretically, Shi Wei could go back to Sheng's villa with Sheng Jingchen to rest, but because of the two episodes with Xia Duoduo and Xia Yiwen, it was already late. So Aunt and old Mister Sheng persuaded the two to stay overnight.

Anyway, there were so many rooms in Sheng's old house and Shi Wei wasn't short of anything. Shi Wei didn't want to turn away the kindness of the elders, so she agreed. On the way to Sheng Jingchen's courtyard, Shi Wei couldn't help but mutter to the system.

"I thought... Sheng Jingchen would agree to Xia Duoduo's matter just now!" Shi Wei stole a glance at Sheng Jingchen, "I didn't expect him to refuse and even reveal the fake online love match!"

The system was puzzled, "In theory, the villain would agree. Even if he was slow, he was facing his former love... No! Not his former love, he never loved Xia Duoduo at all!"

Shi Wei suddenly realized something.

There was something wrong with the plot. The plot in the novel didn't happen.

Even if Shi Wei's awakening may change the development of the novel, it was impossible to change the past. In other words, even in the novel, there was nothing between Sheng Jingchen and Xia Duoduo.

"Then why did Sheng Jingchen realize his feelings and get into chasing wife into the crematorium!" Shi Wei was puzzled, "Did he fall in love with Xia Duoduo later?"

Shi Wei shook her head and denied this idea.

Based on her understanding of Sheng Jingchen, if he had not liked Xia Duoduo in the past, it would be even less likely for him to like Xia Duoduo in the future. A young man may still have the teen throbbing, but an old man only had work in his mind.

Sheng Jingchen, who was walking toward the courtyard, choked.

Originally, he was secretly happy that he had finally cleared himself in Shi Wei's mind, but in the end...

Old man?

He was only 26 years old. Was he old?

While Shi Wei was chatting with the system, the servant had brought the two to Sheng Jingchen's room in the courtyard.

"Young Master, Miss Xia, the room has been tidied and the bed has been made." 

Shi Wei glanced inside. The courtyard and buildings of the Sheng Family's old house were all antique buildings, mostly in the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Still, the room was in the modern asian style, elegant and comfortable. 

She asked the servant, "Sheng Jingchen stays in this room. What about me?" 

The servant covered his face and chuckled. 

Sheng Jingchen instantly understood and his ears were slightly red. 

Shi Wei didn't know what was going on with these two. Her eyes still revealed a sense of confusion. 

"Miss Xia, what are you talking about!" The servant said softly, "Of course you stay in the same room with our young master~!"
