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."
