It's uncertain how much Chu Ying had heard. She scolded herself mentally, then put on a smile at once. "Let's settle it in private, guys are thick-skinned, it's okay for them to be hit a bit more."

When Su Yi got into the car, she saw Deng Mingyang in front pursing his lips pitifully and entering Lin Xia's car unwillingly. She couldn't help saying, "Chu Xi, you really had great taste."

"Stop mentioning it, I'm regretting it to death."

Chu Ying started the car but didn't step on the accelerator. "What's the problem."

Chu Xi knew that she couldn't hide it from him anymore and said slowly, "Ge, that's my ex-boyfriend."

Chu Ying side-eyed her. "Don't waste your words."

"He cheated, the other is that woman just now." Chu Xi acted pitiful and said, "He's about to debut, so to wash off his history he went around saying that I'm the one who cheated and put the green hat on him, even spending his money all the time. I got so angry, so — "

Ah, there really is a kinship between these siblings; even when it comes to hitting people it's as if they've discussed beforehand!

Chu Ying said, "You spent his money?"

"How could that be! That measly amount he has, I'd be interested?" Chu Xi blinked at him. "Ge, I know that it's wrong of me to hit him, I'll never do it again, can you not tell our parents?"

Or she'd be nagged at for a long time too and might even be grounded, not allowed to go anywhere at all, like a while back.

Chu Ying had wanted to reject it immediately, but when he was looking away he caught the playfulness in the eyes of the person beside him. He quirked an eyebrow, then remembered that he had acted out physically too.

He coughed lightly. "— It won't happen again."

Chu Xi didn't expect to get through this so easily, and the huge stone in her heart finally disappeared. She hurriedly said okay.

The car started and Chu Ying asked the person behind, "I'll send you home?"

Chu Xi said, "All right."

Su Yi hurriedly said, "Then I'll get off first, you can send her back."

"Work?"

"No." After a long silence, Su Yi squeezed out. "I'm afraid it won't be convenient."

At the red light, Chu Ying took hold of Su Yi's drooping hand. "What's inconvenient about it?"

Su Yi's face reddened, her heart racing. She wasn't ready to meet the parents! Besides, she was dressed too casually today. As she had hurriedly left the house, she had only put on some everyday clothes and a coat.

At least Chu Xi was good at observing people. She put both hands on the seat and said with a smile, "Nevermind, I'll go sit for a while in Sister-in-law's place."

Su Yi thus calmed down, but she had also finally faced a problem.

... Meeting the parents.

Truth be told, she had never found that she looked like the sort of person adults would like. The thing most people would say after getting to know her was: I thought that you'd be hard to deal with, I didn't expect you to be so nice.

Although it was a praise, it's easy to see from it what others thought. On top of that, she kept acting as a bad woman, so it would more or less bring the audience a complicated view of her.

Back at home, while Chu Ying was making a call on the balcony she pulled Chu Xi over and asked anxiously, "Tell me quick, do your parents... watch TV?"

"My dad doesn't." Chu Xi took a sip of coffee.

Half of Su Yi's heart settled.

"My mom does." After saying that, Chu Xi stabbed her once more. "She has watched plenty of the shows that you've acted in."

Su Yi: "—"

Chu Xi didn't at all notice her breaking down, she simply took out her phone. "Look! That asshole Deng Mingyang sent me a message."

Su Yi sighed under her breath, leaning over to take a look. The message was sent two days ago.

"Xiao Xi, I'm going to debut soon. You know it's not easy to be an actor these days, if there's any dark history it'd be troublesome after I get popular. So... Can you tell others that you wanted to break up? I know that it's my fault, so as a recompense I can give you some money so you can finish your university education in peace."

Su Yi pointed at the last sentence. "What does this mean?"

"Oh, I used to tell him that I am very poor, so poor I barely got enough money for going to university by selling the last cow we have at home."

... You young people really know how to have fun.

Chu Xi suddenly seemed to think of something and said excitedly, "Say, if I share this message, would Deng Mingyang be in trouble?"

"You treat it too simply." Su Yi leant back. "As an agent, for Lin Xia to be able to get to the point that she could have her own little white faces (akin to a sugar baby), it means that her capabilities are still quite high. If she really wants to protect Deng Mingyang, not only would it not hurt him, they might use it against you and you'd get dirtied for no reason."

Chu Xi's little face fell instantaneously.

Su Yi glanced at her, then said slowly, "But we can't just swallow this pill just like that."
